To celebrate National Noodle Month and the opening of its second location, Ramen Hood, an upscale fast-casual build-your-own ramen restaurant, will host an event and ribbon cutting at its new Chandler location at 1940 W. Chandler Blvd on March 29, 2023, from 4 to 7 p.m. the first 25 customers to attend the celebration will receive a $10 gift card. At 5:30 a ramen-eating contest will be held. Participants will have 60 seconds to eat as much ramen as possible, with the fastest contestant winning free ramen every month for a year (see Facebook for official rules). Those interested in participating can contact the Chandler location via social media.
