The Ghent Presents: Our First Ever Anime & Ramen Day + Trivia!

Join us at The Ghent for an all-day celebration of steaming hot ramen bowls and anime vibes, featuring free-to-play Anime Trivia from 4-6 PM

🍥 🍜 CALLING ALL OTAKUS, FOODIES, AND TRIVIA MASTERS! 🍜 🍥

Get your chopsticks ready and charge up your chakra! We are thrilled to announce The Ghent’s FIRST EVER Anime & Ramen Day!

On this lazy Sunday between Christmas and New Year's, we’re transforming the venue into the ultimate chill zone dedicated to the world's best comfort food combo. Whether you need a recovery meal from the holiday madness or just want to geek out with fellow fans, this is the place to be.

Here is what we have planned for the ultimate Sunday Funday:

🍜 THE RAMEN (All Day Open-to-Close) We are rolling out a special, one-day-only ramen menu! Expect rich broths, perfectly chewy noodles, and fresh toppings. We'll be slinging bowls from the moment we open until the moment we close. Come for lunch, come for dinner, or come for a mid-afternoon slurp.

🧠 THE MAIN EVENT: ANIME TRIVIA (4:00 PM - 6:00 PM) Think you know your Ghibli from your Gundam? Can you name all the Straw Hat Pirates? Assemble your squad or compete solo in our two-hour anime trivia showdown!

Time: Trivia kicks off promptly at 4:00 PM and runs until 6:00 PM. Cost: It is 100% FREE TO PLAY! Themes: Questions will cover everything from classic nostalgia trips to the hottest modern hits. Prizes: Yes, there will be prizes for the top teams!

✨ THE VIBE Expect anime soundtracks pumping through the speakers, themed visuals, and great drinks from our bar to wash down that savory broth. Cosplay is encouraged but absolutely not required—come as you are!
