Founded in 2014 by Gary Lin – and imported to Cleveland thanks to Sheng Long Yu – the quickly expanding brand is reinventing the ramen experience.

Since opening in Tremont this past summer, STEAK (2179 W. 11th St., 216-331-2724) has continued to win over fans thanks to its bold décor, playful vibe and all-inclusive price structure that combines salad, steak, sauce and a side for a single fee. Next up for parent company Hangry Brands is a location in Chagrin Falls. Jason Beudert, President, says that he has just inked a deal to take over the Burntwood Tavern property (504 E Washington St.), which closed this spring after 15 years.

Nick Robson launched the company in 2019 with his self-titled “Ohio-style” pizza, which arrives with a medium-thick crust, edge-to-edge cheese and toppings, a sweet red sauce spiral on top, and a garlic oil drizzle.

“We only play two types of music here, Country and Western,” jokes Jason Beudert as he ushers me into East Fouth Street’s next big destination. Opening in early June, Jolene’s Honky Tonk (2038 East Fourth St.) will bring a refreshing jolt of energy, enthusiasm and fun to Cleveland’s most prominent pedestrian-only strip. Offering four floors of balls-to-the-wall entertainment, the music-themed bar and casual restaurant gives people a place to go before or after dinner, shows and events in the area.
