Queens Ramen Restaurant Opens Bayside Outpost

BAYSIDE, QUEENS — Bayside has a new spot for ramen.

Tamashii Ramen, a Queens-based chain with outposts in Astoria and Forest Hills, opened a third location on 40-09 Bell Boulevard Friday, according to the eatery.

"Hello friends and family! We want to introduce you to our newest location, Tamashii Gold," the chain wrote on Facebook. "We are in full operation mode, ready to serve some delicious ramen."

Tamashii, which is replacing a bubble tea spot that closed last year, credits itself as being "NYC's best ramen" restaurant, and the first to bring Japanese ramen to Astoria.

According to its website, the eatery's most popular ramen dishes include miso ramen, flavored with soybeans, shio ramen, made with mineral salt, and shoyu ramen, made with soy sauce.

For those who like spice, the tan-tan men, a spicy sesame-flavored ramen, is apparently among the chain's most recommended, and the eatery also offers vegetarian ramen options.

Tamashii Ramen won't be the newest ramen eatery on the block for long: Kyura Men, a ramen restaurant that has hundreds of eateries in Hong Kong and Taiwan, is slated to open at 38-35 Bell Boulevard (one block away) soon.
