Quick-serve ramen restaurant BOOM Noodles coming to Southpointe.

BOOM Noodles will open in a former Saga hibachi restaurant at Southpointe Town Center, according to the Pittsburgh Business Times today. It is a new venture by AMPD Group, which operates (among others) Steel Cactus and Social House Seven, the latter an Asian-themed bar and restaurant downtown. No opening date has been announced.

Working from some of the recipes of AMPD’s downtown Asian cuisine restaurant Social House 7, AMPD will open BOOM Noodles, which DeSimone describes as a quick-serve Ramen restaurant. BOOM Noodles will be watched by AMPD for potential to expand elsewhere.

BOOM Noodles and a new Steel Cactus location will occupy a space formerly occuped by Saga Japanese Restaurant in Canonsburg's Southpointe Town Center (map).
