Send noods.
A ramen bar in Houston, Texas, is struggling to remain afloat — and the owner is hoping an OnlyFans account can assist with funds.
Ninja Ramen’s business is struggling, possibly as a consequence of the upset for restaurants typically that got here with the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
But owner Christopher Huang has a plan to get his ramen bar to 2025 “and beyond.”
“Send me pictures of you eating our hot noods, and I’ll post them (together with your consent, in fact),” Huang wrote in an Instagram post, saying that he began an OnlyFans account for Ninja Ramen.
He added, “I’d prefer to determine a technique to bundle in some perks/advantages for subscribers, too (it’ll be free anyway).”
Yes, the account is real, and yes, Huang is serious — but OnlyFans is only a small part of a bigger plan.
Huang’s request for consensual noods was “Step 5” partly of an Instagram post detailing the restaurant’s struggles.
“It’s hard to take a look at any singular case,” the post said of the decline in business. “It might have been inflation, the economic landscape typically, No Noodle November, the unrelenting demand for espresso martinis in 2023, who knows…”
Huang noted that although he raised the ramen prices by 50 cents just three years ago, and with costs going up roughly 18% up to now 8 months alone, they’re only bringing in about 80% of pre-Covid numbers.
“What which means is that we’re losing 1000’s of dollars every month,” he wrote. “Now everyone knows I’m an inexpensive ass Asian, so I’ve had money saved up for a rainy day (or 12 months), but at the present rate, we won’t make it for for much longer.”
The more serious parts of Huang’s plan include reminding those that the restaurant has an ideal bar with the most important choice of Asian whiskeys within the country and numerous “really cool bottles,” and reminding those that “the food is admittedly good, the egg is admittedly good, the bamboo is admittedly good.”
Huang also shared that they might be changing things up and introducing a rotating food specials menu and recent drinks: “We’ve got a recent cocktail menu coming out this week (with an espresso martini on it, duh).”
Lastly, Ninja Ramen desires to do more events and collaborations with friends, chefs, owners — and even pornstars — to do “cool and peculiar things.”
“I don’t know tips on how to ask for assist in a sublime manner,” Huang wrote. “As an alternative I’m going to awkwardly appeal to your sense of kinship to Houston culture that we’ve been an element of for the past decade. We’re an element of the town’s flavor, please tell your mates and family to return slurp us up.”
The Post has reached out to Huang for comment.
Houstonians are being encouraged to get some Ninja Ramen, give it a slurp and send their noods.
