Popular Ramen Chain Opens Forest Hills Restaurant

FOREST HILLS, QUEENS — Kyuramen, a popular and rapidly-growing ramen chain, opened its newest restaurant in Forest Hills Tuesday.

The restaurant located at 108-50 Queens Blvd., near 71st Road, is occupying the space previously leased by the fast food chain Cheeburger Cheeburger.

Centered on a signature 18-hour slow-cooked broth, Kyuramen was founded by Gary Lin, who studied "the art of ramen" in Japan before bringing it to the U.S., with a focus on affordability, according to the restaurant.

Kyuramen has locations in Long Island City, Bayside, and Flushing, with more openings on the horizon, including Jackson, Mississippi, and Huntington, New York.

"Attention foodies of Forest Hills, Queens!," the restaurant wrote in an Instagram post. "Prepare to embark on a flavor-filled journey, diving into bowls of unbelievably delicious ramen that will leave you in awe."

The Forest Hills menu will be the same as its other locations, featuring nine different bowls of ramen — described by Gothamist as "extremely reasonably priced" — appetizers like gyoza and bao buns, and more inventive dishes like "ramen burgers."

Each restaurant's interior is inspired by "traditional Japanese design principles and natural accents," according to the company — described by the New York Times as "a subdued pale wood setting."
