Houston favorite Airi Ramen is planting its flag in the Austin area, with a new restaurant headed for Manor Crossing. Public records and a retail listing show the chain has leased Suite 220 at 11910 US 290, a roughly 3,024-square-foot space. Filings tied to the project outline a buildout running from mid June through December, with an estimated construction budget close to $400,000.
Permit Trail Backs Up Expansion Plans
According to What Now, a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing lists Airi Ramen at 11910 US 290, Suite 220 in Manor. The outlet reports it confirmed the Manor plans with owner Mingfeng Cai. The filing describes a tenant improvement project for the space and lays out the proposed construction schedule, in line with other multi site buildouts tied to the brand.
Manor Crossing Spot Puts Airi Near Big-Name Neighbors
A property flyer for Manor Crossing from The Retail Connection maps Airi Ramen into Suite 220 and lists the same square footage, placing the restaurant in the H E B anchored center along US 290. The marketing packet slots Airi alongside national names such as TJ Maxx, Planet Fitness and Dollar Tree, positioning the ramen shop in what is pitched as a high traffic retail hub. That leasing map lines up with the tenant details noted in permitting documents.
From Greater Houston To Its First Austin-Area Address
Airi Ramen’s official site currently lists multiple Greater Houston locations in New Caney, Cypress, Baytown, Katy Park, Mont Belvieu and Fulshear, giving the brand a solid suburban footprint that it is now extending toward Austin. Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project records document earlier Airi buildouts and list Mingfeng Cai as the owner, creating a paper trail of the chain’s previous fit outs and permits. The Manor restaurant would be the group’s first known Austin area location.
What Will Be On The Menu
The chain’s New Caney online ordering page and main site show a mix of ramen bowls, poke, bao, and various sushi rolls offered across locations, so the Manor lineup will likely look familiar to existing fans. Signature items at other Airi spots include spicy miso ramen and specialty rolls that appear on the brand’s ordering pages. The specific Manor menu, however, has not yet been posted publicly.
Construction Window And Opening Updates
The TDLR filing cited by What Now lists June 15 as the planned start date and December 15 as the target completion date for the approximate $400,000 tenant improvement project. The chain told the outlet it is moving ahead with the Manor build. Diners eager to know when slurping can officially begin are being directed to follow Airi Ramen on Instagram for opening announcements and menu updates.
