McMahon Plans Bao Bar

Galway’s food scene is about to welcome an addition with the launch of Kombu, a ramen and bao bar by chef, restaurateur and author JP McMahon.

Inspired by his long-standing passion for Japanese food, Kombu - named after the Japanese seaweed - will open next month with a bold, flavour-driven menu rooted in the traditions of Japanese street food.

Described by JP as “a love letter to Japan”, the menu will feature steaming bowls of ramen, teriyaki, tempura, rice dishes, and a creative selection of bao buns - including a playful dessert like a chocolate ganache bao bun topped with wasabi sea salt.

Kombu will open on Druid’s Lane in Galway, with an expected launch date in late June.
