Panepinto Properties signs Mensho for retail space at 505 Summit

JERSEY CITY, NJ — Panepinto Properties announced that MENSHO, the ramen “Farm to Bowl” destination recognized by the Michelin Guide for nearly a decade, is set to make its highly anticipated East Coast debut at 505 Summit in Jersey City’s Journal Square neighborhood. The restaurant is expected to open in fall 2026.

Founded in Japan in 2005, MENSHO has expanded globally with locations across Japan, the United States, Australia, and Thailand under concepts including “MENSHO,” “Menya Shono,” and “MENSHO TOKYO.” The Journal Square location will mark the brand’s first East Coast outpost.

Located on the ground floor of the newly completed 54-story luxury rental tower adjacent to the Journal Square PATH station, MENSHO will occupy a portion of the building’s 3,200 s/f of ground-floor retail space, fronting a new public plaza created by Panepinto Properties. MENSHO will serve both residents of 505 Summit and the broader community, adding a distinctive new dining option to a neighborhood long known for its diverse and active food scene.

The MENSHO signing follows a successful leasing launch at 505 Summit, with strong initial activity since the building came to market earlier this year and residents now moving in.
