Aiming to open early-to-mid December, AFURI Richmond’s decor will feature the brand’s signature bright and airy vibe, with high ceilings and natural wood.
The AFURI team tells Daily Hive that the new location will “take a cue from Japan’s ramen vending machine tradition updated for the 21st century.”
Think full touchscreen ordering, which will be guided by the restaurant’s team.

The Richmond location is just one new opening for the brand, which is known for its signature Yuzu Shio ramen and Buta Gyoza (pork), as AFURI has plans to open a Vancouver location (address to be determined) as well as outposts in California, Hong Kong, and Singapore.
AFURI currently operates a few eateries outside of its founding country of Japan in the US and Portugal too.
