CRANE RAMEN Gainesville

Closed Dec 2022
Gainesville's first ramen shop bringing the traditional Japanese favorite to North FL

Gainesville's first and only ramen shop —bringing the traditional Japanese favorite to North Florida. Every dish is made using locally sourced ingredients and premium products. This is not the instant ramen most students are used to eating as all of our broths are made in house and take over 24 hours of slow simmering to create its rich and delicate flavors. Crane is a little piece of the big city in the heart of downtown Gainesville.

It is with great sadness that we must announce that Crane Ramen will be permanently shutting its doors on January 1, 2023. Crane officially opened on December 1, 2014, to great acclaim and rapidly became a staple of the downtown dining scene. We always strived to provide great ramen and personable service in a unique welcoming atmosphere for diners and staff alike. Through thick and thin, so many people have contributed to making Crane a destination for a wholesome, nurturing meal. We want to sincerely thank all the people who ever tied an apron on in our kitchen or served piping hot bowls of ramen to our guests. We have been incredibly lucky to have had so many talented, committed and hardworking folks on our team over the course of the last 8 years. And we are eternally grateful to our loyal customers! Thank you for your patronage and support.

*We are open until January, 1st! Come celebrate our last holiday season!*
