PARK SLOPE — Ramen is on a roll in Park Slope.

The neighborhood will soon get its third new noodle shop in the past year with the arrival of Momo Ramen at 78 Fifth Ave., where Pierre Loti wine bar was.

The restaurant will join a growing list of broth-based businesses that includes Ramen Yebisu, Ten-Ichi Ramen and neighborhood standby Naruto Ramen.

Despite its name, Momo Ramen has no connection to chef David Chang's Momofuku, a spokeswoman for the Momofuku restaurant group told DNAinfo New York.

The owner is Thupten Pema, who owns Ramen Thukpa in Manhattan, the Comercial Observer reported.

Other recent comings and goings on the neighborhood restaurant and retail scene include the following:

► Fifth Avenue farm-to-table restaurant Juventino, at 370 Fifth Ave. (near Fifth Street), closed after eight years in business. "It's time for some much needed rest, a couple culinary travels, and some new projects," a message on the restaurant's website said.

► A "gourmet coffee and specialty bagels" shop called Brewshot is moving into the space formerly occupied by Beygl at 291 Fifth Ave. (between First and Second streets), according to a sign in the window.

► A cafe serving vegan salads and baked goods, Seed, is moving into 242 Fifth Ave. (between President and Carroll streets) Park Slope Stoop first reported. The space was previously Ollie & Ry.
