International ramen franchise Kyuramen coming to Eastside Bond

PITTSBURGH — Eastside Bond, the apartment complex in the heart of East Liberty, has landed another Asian restaurant franchise, putting the retail space that long sat empty at the development almost completely fully leased.

After South Korea-based franchise Tous les Jours hoisted a banner in recent weeks to announce it was establishing one of its more than 1,600 French-Asian bakeries at Eastside Bond, New York-based ramen franchise Kyuramen is now working to establish a more than 4,300-square-foot restaurant at the East Liberty complex.
