Renshoku Ramen opened in Old Louisville last year, but after a car struck its storefront in June and caused a fire it was forced to close.

The story didn’t end there, though. Other local businesses came together to help Renshoku rebuild + recover. Starting in June, Renshoku began serving hot dogs at The Merryweather and Old Louisville Brewery — which is in its own process of recovering from a lapse in liquor licensing, so the pop-ups were a win-win.

Now, Renshoku Ramen is back home in its 2nd Street location, but with limited hours. It’s open for dinner only, 5-9 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday. Lunch service will return eventually, as will online orders — right now it’s dine in or take out only.

The menu at Renshoku is always changing — especially right now — but features ramen, rice bowls, and shareable appetizers.
