Ramen Bar + Sanghoe Market

Where Culture Meets Craving

What was once an underutilized corner of campus is now a vibrant, culture-driven destination. Inspired by the company’s origins as a small Korean trading shop, the Ramen Bar + Sanghoe Market reimagines the workplace amenity as both a social hub and storytelling moment. 

Rooted in this heritage, the design blends history with everyday functionality. Warm wood tones, open shelving, and layered product displays evoke the energy of a neighborhood market, while a dedicated ramen bar anchors the space—supporting quick meals, late-night use, and moments of pause throughout the day. 

More than a convenience offering, the space fosters connection. Flexible seating encourages informal gathering, team interactions, and spontaneous conversations. A curated mix of Korean imports and familiar favorites introduces employees to new experiences while maintaining comfort and accessibility.

 The result is a highly activated amenity that transforms overlooked space into a meaningful destination—bridging culture, convenience, and community in a way that feels both authentic and enduring.
