G-Men Ramen Restaurant

This is a restaurant my wife Emi (with baby in belly) and I designed and built. February 14th - March 12, 2009.

The Counter

We wanted to keep costs as low as possible so we decided to just dress up the existing counter. The idea was to make a Yatai a Japanese noodle stand.

Window treatment

The owner wanted the windows to be covered. These were very big windows to cover. We used plywood with 1"X4" frame around with tinny windows in each covered by beach wood. I think like the rest of the restaurant has a Japan meets the West Coast feel.

From the out side ... The Entrance

The Idea here was to put a Japan feel by adding a Vintage Honda Cub (Left side) and Tokyo Tower (Right side) in the windows on the sides of the entrance.

Right side: We build a stage for the Honda Cub. and hung the open sign on an angle and added a big light above. That says Ramen.

Left Side: A mini Tokyo Tower stationed on a floating shelf in the window. With other vintage looking toys from Japan.

From Inside: Entrance

Since there are two doors we were asked to stop the flow and make an entrance that customers could wait to be seated.

The Shed

Well here was quite an interesting project a shed with so many layers on it that all it did was leak. I had to fix this building so I could use it. This was a really cool project because I wanted to use as much recycled material as I could.

 I did not think I could save any of what I was seeing. I had a display case that was just sitting around and thought ... that would make a cool window and placed it in the side of the wall. Next I had to re-do the roof ... Holly crap there were 3 layers of tarp various mixed siding, old doors that used to be in the main house. This was a real thing of beauty NOT!!!.

Got rid of the roof and had to use new 2X4's and OSB Plywood.

Ripped off all the siding and finished the roof.

I worked on putting the siding on which is recycled from my cousins fence so it's already treated wood and it looks amazing. We are going to re-use the doors that were on the shed ... Emi is taking all the old paint off and we will put a finish on it. The Idea is sliding Japanese style doors.

Finished off the wood siding and installed the door on a sliding track. It also has a functional lock and you can now use the shed.

I put a little roof over the display case and now the little shed is done. It's amazing what you can do by recycling and re-using old building materials. With a little creativity and imagination you can turn a piece of non-functional mess into a totally enjoyable space.
