Astoria’s HinoMaru Opens “Lucky Cat Ramen” on 53rd
Just when you thought the Midtown ramen scene couldn’t get any better… HinoMaru Ramen, the Astoria ramenya that was included in Michelin’s Bib Gourmand list in 2012, has opened Lucky Cat Ramen on 53rd btw. 2+3rd in the old Social Eatz location. The menu is completely different than HinoMaru, so there’s no sign of the HinuMaru ramen or the fireball meatballs that Sietsema loves so much, but there is a tonkotsu style ramen, a shoyu ramen, and a tonkotsu/shoyu hybrid, as well as four other styles that I think you’d be hard pressed to find in any other ramen shop in Midtown.
Check out the menu after the jump…
Right now they’re in soft opening mode, and only open for lunch (Monday thru Friday 12-3pm) but they plan to start dinner service (5pm to 2am 10pm) tomorrow night (Wednesday). Early adopters, let us know how it is in the comments.

Is that a good thing or bad thing?
I’m looking forward to this. It too is on the way home from work if I walk, so a visit soon will be in order.

I had no idea Social Eatz closed. RIP Bulgogi Burger.
Oh, I walked by this over the weekend and was taken aback by the huge lucky cat in the window. I wonder if they’re going to put it outside ala Rudy’s pig.
The only thing with this place is that they have the same level of price as Hide-Chan, but only one block north.
