KYURAMEN

KYURAMEN is a ramen restaurant built around carefully developed soup bases, including white, thick, fresh and fragrant styles. Each bowl comes with a Japanese-style pork roast, a seven-minute boiled egg and chopped green onions. The founder studied Japanese ramen by repeatedly visiting Japan, and the menu draws on the regional styles of Kyushu, Tokyo and Hokkaido.

The chain says it has more than 126 locations and started with a first store that opened in 2014. Its stated aim is affordable everyday ramen for working people and students, served in a relaxed setting. The restaurant at 133-42 37th Avenue in Queens is one of those locations.
