Shoki Ramen House, which is in the process of moving from its original location on 24th St. in Curtis Park to the old Trails Restaurant on 21st St., will be replaced by Noodles to Thai For.

I reached out to the restaurant owners on Thursday afternoon for more details, but did not hear back as of the time of publication.

On Twitter, this is how they tease their restaurant:

Do you like Thai food? Do you like noodles? Do you like Thai noodles? Well, Noodles to Thai for is coming to Sac ...See you soon!!

The restaurant, which had targeted an August opening, now expects to open in September.

As for Shoki, I drive by their new location once a week, but it still looks like construction is going on inside the building. I'll let you know when it opens. Of course, those seeking their Shoki fix can still head to their R street location.
