RESTAURANT OF THE WEEK
Fans of ramen have a new place to visit in Brentwood to crunch those cravings. Offering up authentic Japanese ramen and udon, as well as traditional Szechuan spicy food, the owners have always dreamed of opening a ramen shop. To keep it as real as possible, they traveled to Japan to learn the traditional method of making ramen from a Japanese ramen master. Genki House is located at 2300 Sand Creek Road, in Brentwood.
