The ramen restaurant that has been under construction at 47-36 Vernon Boulevard in recent months is expected to open May 1.

The restaurant, called Tamashii Ramen, is owned by Jhon Cho, who owns and operates a restaurant by the same name at 29-05 Broadway in Astoria. The Long Island City version will have the same menu as the Astoria location. (click for menu)

Cho will run the Vernon Boulevard location; he has a manager who will operate the Astoria restaurant.

The Vernon Blvd restaurant will seat about 25 to 30 people. Cho will be serving wine, beer and saki.

Cho said that he decided to open a Vernon Blvd location since there has been a lot of demand at his Astoria location from LIC customers. He said many LIC residents call his Astoria restaurant hoping to place an order that -due to distance–he is unable to meet.

Cho, a Korean national, has been in the US for 16 years and has worked or owned restaurants since. His father is Japanese while his mother is Korean. His mother operated a restaurant in Korea for more than 30 years, he said.

I am looking forward to this place. Based on the menu of the Astoria location, they also offer tapas like breaded chicken, shrimp tempura, etc (not just ramen).

We go to their Astoria location and love it. Great food and service for a reasonable price. Last time I was there I asked if their prices will be the same in their LIC location and they said “yes”. Can’t wait!!

Mayor Adams marks one year of ‘Padlock to Protect’ with pizza and progress in Queens

Mayor Eric Adams marked the one-year anniversary of the launch of the city’s “Operation Padlock to Protect” initiative at a pizzeria on the Rego Park and Middle Village border on Wednesday and touted the significant progress in shutting down more than 1,400 illegal smoke shops across the five boroughs and seizing more than $95 million in illegal product since last May.

“The city was fed up. We heard it at every town hall. This time last year, there were thousands of illegal smoke shops plaguing our city with unlicensed cannabis endangering our children,” Adams said. “One year later, we are proud to announce that we have turned the tide. Thanks to the tireless efforts by our city’s law enforcement officers, we’ve padlocked thousands of illegal shops and created safer streets for children and families. But we’re not stopping there.”
