PARK SLOPE — The neighborhood's Asian food options are expanding quickly with the opening of two new restaurants and two more in the works.
Sushi Yashin opened in late January at 381 Fifth Ave. (near Sixth Street) in the space that was last occupied by Corner Burger, and Momo Ramen is up and running at 78 Fifth Ave. near Bergen Street, the Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District announced.
The Korean restaurant Moim at 206 Garfield Pl. near Seventh Avenue closed in late January, but it will soon be replaced by the Japanese restaurant Yami-Ichi, Park Slope Stoop reported. It will be "an authentic Japanese izakaya" serving udon, sushi and "premium Japanese whiskies," according to Park Slope Stoop.
A new Korean restaurant called Hanki Everyday Korean is under construction at 226 Seventh Ave. (between Third and Fourth streets). The space was previously occupied by Tofu on 7th, which moved to Fifth Avenue. Hanki is expected to open this spring, the owners told DNAinfo New York.
