San Francisco favorite Marufuku Ramen is bringing its Hakata-style tonkotsu bowls to Downtown Summerlin, eyeing a February debut in a newly renovated space. The move gives shoppers and nearby residents a second Las Vegas Valley location from the brand after its initial local opening last year.

Design and dishes

Renderings tied to the announcement show a 2,440-square-foot dining room wrapped in warm woods and stone, with glowing lanterns, counter and table seating, plus a terrace anchored by firepits. The opening menu is set to spotlight Marufuku’s signature Hakata tonkotsu ramen, alongside chicken paitan, rice bowls topped with thick or chopped pork belly, Marufuku bites and chicken karaage. Downtown Summerlin will also be only the second Marufuku location to serve kushiyaki grilled skewers. A cocktail program built around Japanese shochu, sakes and whiskies is also in the works, according to Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Where and when

Marufuku’s official locations page lists a “Summerlin - Las Vegas (Opening Winter 2026)” entry and notes the brand already operating a Vegas outpost at The Bend on West Sunset Road. Those listings confirm the chain’s Nevada expansion plans and its winter 2026 timeline on Marufuku Ramen.

Downtown Summerlin space

Photographs taped to the former SkinnyFats storefront and Clark County building permits show the 2010 Festival Plaza Drive address in the middle of a Marufuku-focused renovation, and the restaurant shared interior renderings while announcing a February launch. That reporting first appeared in Las Vegas Review-Journal, while details on Marufuku’s initial Valley debut at The Bend were previously covered by Eater Vegas.

What to expect

Guests can expect quick-casual ramen service paired with izakaya-style small plates and a more robust bar program than many noodle shops offer, a formula the brand has already tested in other markets.
