Tamashii Ramen

Tamashii opened on Broadway in 2013 and describes itself as the first restaurant to bring a ramen-focused menu to Astoria. Its location makes it a natural stop along the commercial corridor between the Broadway and 30th Avenue stations.

Broth defines the restaurant: the kitchen says it simmers chicken, pork, beef bones, and five vegetables for fourteen hours each day. Its miso uses a blend of more than twelve fermented ingredients; shio, shoyu, tantanmen, seafood champon, curry ramen, and dipping-style tsukemen add contrast.

Diners looking beyond a rich broth can choose vegetable ramen, chilled hiyashi chuka, donburi, or onigiri. It is particularly useful for comparing ramen styles at one table and seeing how a miso, salt, or soy tare can transform the same foundation.
