Elson Liu is branching out — from rice to noodles.

The owner and executive chef of San Leandro’s Angry Fish Sushi restaurant has just opened Angry Ramen at Bayfair Center.

The city’s new Japanese noodle palace is filling bowls with a Tonkotsu pork bone broth simmered with spices and vegetables for 12 hours and noodles made fresh daily. There’s a thin Hakata egg noodle and a thicker Sapporo wheat noodle. Plus plenty of customization options.

Diners can start with appetizers including edamame and pork belly wraps.

Liu is bullish on San Leandro, having operated his sushi restaurant for six years on East 14th Street.

“We are well aware that Bayfair Center is a hub of activity in this community, and it was the perfect place to locate our new venture,” he said in a statement.

At his sushi restaurant, popular menu items include the oysters and the sports-themed rolls. The Raiders one is filled with spicy tuna and avocado and drizzled with unagi sauce and spicy mayo; the 49ers roll features crab (naturally) and is topped with salmon.

Angry Ramen has an exterior entrance at the center between Kohl’s and Jamba Juice. The restaurant opens at 11 a.m. daily and serves until 8:30 p.m. Sunday through Thursday, until 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Details: 15555 E. 14th St., San Leandro. The restaurant’s website, www.angryramen.com, is under construction. Meantime, find updates on the restaurant’s Instagram page.
