After two long years, the ramen restaurant at Daikaya is finally opening Thursday night at 705 Sixth St. NW in Chinatown.
Before the ground level opens to diners at 5 p.m. (a date hasn’t been announced for the izakaya upstairs), here’s a quick look at the touches inside, including an open kitchen where diners can watch their noodles being cooked and assembled. The 40-seat space will serve four kinds of ramen — miso, shio (salt), shoyu (soy) and vegan.

Stools circle the open kitchen at the new Daikaya. The sign above the kitchen reads “Welcome to Daikaya. Welcome.” (Lavanya Ramanathan/The Washington Post)
