A math study center and a popular ramen chain are coming to Hyattsville.

Both Mathnasium and an outpost of Akira Ramen & Izakaya are coming to the upcoming Hyattsville Canvas Apartments at 5300 Baltimore Ave., next to the Armory building, home of Crossover Church, according to the site’s commercial property manager.

The 1,356-square-foot Mathnasium will host tutoring programs and homework help, part of the chain of 1,000 learning centers across the U.S. The next closest locations are in D.C. and Beltsville.

Akira Ramen & Izakaya is a chain featuring high-end ramen bowls and Japanese fusion dishes, with eight locations in Maryland and one in D.C. The 2,500-square-foot space will be its tenth.

In February, it was named one of the best ramen shops in the D.C. area by the Washington Post in consultation with staffers from the Japanese embassy.

As an izakaya, a type of Japanese eatery that features small plates, Akira also serves appetizers such as edamame, pork dumplings, pork belly buns and a savory Japanese pancake called okonimiyaki.

Seven other retail spaces on the first floor of the building are available. One other, a 2,760-square-foot space, is under negotiation.

Hyattsville Canvas will feature 285 apartments and 30,000 square feet of retail space when it opens, currently scheduled for summer.
