Yokohama, the ramen and karaoke restaurant at 1932 E Kenilworth Pl. on Milwaukee's East Side, has announced it will officially close on Monday, Feb. 5.
The restaurant, which opened in May 2017 and experienced a menu redux under Chef Matt Kerley this past December, served up its last steaming bowls of ramen this weekend. An email statement from the Stand Eat Deliver Hospitality Group delivered the news.
