Upon entering Hiroshi, focus is drawn to the Japanese-inspired mural spanning the length of the restaurant titled “Noodle Waves at Night.” The installation—featuring an overflowing bowl of ramen noodles resembling ocean waves underneath a starry night sky—is commissioned by local art firm, Local Language. Balancing a bold, colorful mural with clean, angular forms, the dining room features simple seating, including a long walnut table with a modern touch, for large parties or communal seating, amongst black barstools. Booth seating and smaller tables fill the space which accommodates a total of 48 seated guests. Overhead, handcrafted black ceramic pendant lights illuminate the space, while floor-to-ceiling storefront windows fill the interior with natural light throughout the day. 

Wrapping both the interior walls and L-shaped counter is dark grey tile wainscot paneling, with a simple, yet striking, light grey accent tile behind the bar, reminiscent of shou sugi ban, an 18th century Japanese technique to weatherproof wood. To underline the warmth of Japanese architecture, a wooden trim lines the tilework. The exhibition kitchen, surrounded by decorative ramen bowls attached to the soffit, allows guests to look on as ramen is prepared—an art form that the Ramen Hiroshi team aimed to share with all visitors who enter the space, which is represented in the design and layout of the space. Four seats are situated at the east end of the kitchen where guests can dine from the bar, overlooking the kitchen.
