DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Downers Grove's newest ramen restaurant is now open for business. Wasabi Restaurant and Bar hosted its ribbon cutting ceremony on Jan. 30. The ceremony, held at the restaurant's 5130 Main St. location, was attended by Downers Grove Mayor Bob Barnett, who stuck around for a bite to eat afterwards and to hobnob with the staff.
