Dining News: New 21st St. Shoki Ramen House Location to Open in 2 to 4 Weeks
March 19, 2015
Shoki Ramen House may open its new location on 21st St. in just two weeks, the restaurant's Kathy Ueyama told Cowtown Eats in a Monday morning phone interview, but it could take as long as a month.
Kathy, wife of Shoki's owner and chef Yasushi Ueyama, is a school teacher full time and is pushing to get the restaurant open in two weeks so she can assist with the opening during her spring break.
The restaurant was originally scheduled to open at the new Trails location in the first week of February. Kathy explained that they spent January cleaning the previous 24th Street location to return it to the owner, and later visiting family added delays. They started working on the new 21st street in mid-February.

As for the exterior of the building, they "don't plan on painting the outside," said Kathy, but do plan to do touch ups as necessary.
The couple are still also working to get their liquor license squared away.
The Sac Bee's Blair Anthony Robertson also reports that Shoki plans on adding Ruhstaller Beer on draft at both their R Street and 21st Street locations.
When it opens, Shoki Ramen House will be located at 2530 21st St., and can be found online at http://shokiramenhouse.com/.

Everything you need to know about Sac’s new Cambodian restaurant - There’s a new Cambodian restaurant open in Sacramento. Or, maybe, it’s opening soon. It’s called Taste of Angkor, it’s located at 4566 Mack Road, and it still had a “coming soon” sign draped above the door when we went on Saturday night. We talked to the owner on the phone, and it’s the family’s first restaurant. The grand opening, according to a waiter we talked to on Saturday night, is tentatively set for Friday, March 20.

Soup's On - Soothing, filling and often cheap, soup is always a hot Dollar-Wise topic, one we’ve dipped our ladle into several times through the years. This time, the challenge was to avoid those I’ve previously written about—anything from much-revered La Bonne Soupe, for instance, or Star Ginger’s spectacular spicy Thai chicken soup (a personal favorite)—and find a few new ones. I didn’t include pho, and I limited my selections to bowls* (not cups) for $5 and under. Here’s the lowdown. Featuring Cafe Bernardo, Mirabelle Cafe, Muntean's Soups, Petra Greek & Taj Oven.

An intriguing tale of foie gras and unusual customer service - We’ve always been told that a fundamental of customer service is that the “customer is always right.” But that is not always the case, as we have seen when restaurateurs, for example, lash out at their reviewers on Yelp. Recently, I encountered another departure from the rule with Gary Moffat, the outspoken owner of Carpe Vino in Auburn, an excellent restaurant and wine bar. Blair Anthony Robertson in the Sac Bee.
Readers react to Carpe Vino’s handling of foie gras complaint - So we asked readers to give their takes. On The Bee’s Facebook page, most readers’ comments on the story sided with Moffat. Some even said his response would make them even more likely to visit the restaurant. Those who emailed me were a little more nuanced. The best answers, in my view, made the argument that there is plenty about any menu that could be seen as unpleasant to animals, the environment and more. Here are a few takes.
