The owner of Ninja Ramen, Christopher Huang, announced in a Dec. 1 Facebook post that the restaurant will hold a series of events before closing.

What’s happening

After 12 years, Huang wrote that he was ready to “move on to the next chapter” of his life and away from 100-hour work weeks.

Huang said he was proud of the joy and connection the restaurant brought him and his customers, but he is looking forward to spending more time with his father and soon-to-be wife.

“I accomplished my goal of running a successful restaurant that lasted for over a decade,” Huang stated. “The number of relationships that started here is too big to count (even I met my future wife here!). I fully believe I've accomplished everything I could have wanted to accomplish in this space.”

Ninja Ramen offered classic and specialty ramen bowls, dumplings and rice.
