The Washington Business Journal is confirming that Wagamama, the British-based ramen chain who has a bit of a cult following amongst the cheap noodle and beer-loving among us, will be officially opening at 418 7th St. NW in May 2010. It was no real surprise (after all, we had an inkling this would happen back in June 2008), but it does serve as confirmation that we’re still a long time away from eating Wagamama for lunch. The news also serves as a chance to reflect on the loss of the revered local media chain, which has been gone for seven months now. Did anyone even realize that it had been so long since Olsson’s shuttered its doors?
