We Have Noodles Will Open Its First Brick And Mortar At Sunset Junction
It's out with the old, in with the new at the Sunset Junction stretch in Silver Lake. According to Eater LA , Berlin Currywurst, which arrived at the corner of Sunset and Hyperion in 2011, has closed, and Smorgasburg LA-favorite We Have Noodles will be replacing them.
We Have Noodles has been teasing about "something" big on their social media for weeks now:
The official opening date for the shop is unclear, though you can expect it to come this summer.

Chef Darren Sayphraraj, who helms the shop, is an L.A. native who spent time cooking in New York kitchens like The Nomad and The Modern before returning to L.A. and bringing his noodle concept to Smorgasburg LA and Feastly pop-ups. Sayphraraj was nominated for Zagat's 30 Under 30 in 2016.
LAist reached out to We Have Noodles, but did not hear back by time of publication.
We Have Noodles will be located at 3827 West Sunset Boulevard in Silver Lake.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
