Ginza Ramen & Poke restaurant planned for Fargo's West Acres mall

FARGO — A new ramen and poke restaurant is being planned for the West Acres food court.

Ginza Ramen & Poke will open in the spot now occupied by Thai ice cream shop Ice Point.

Co-owner Scott Chen said the restaurant will bring “a new taste to Fargo-Moorhead” with the introduction of Japanese-style ramen (soup, noodles and other ingredients) and poke bowls (chunks of raw fish marinated in soy sauce and sesame oil).

“They are very popular,” Chen said Tuesday, Feb. 9.

Chen said he expected the new restaurant to open sometime in April

The restaurant will take the place of Ice Point, which serves Thai ice cream. The Ice Point location will remain open sometime into March, Chen said.

Chen is a partner in several area restaurants, along with John Weng and Steve Lin.
