Astoria residents will be able to feast on vegetarian
Chinese food on Dec. 5 when Ha’s Chinese, a bar and
eatery from the owners of The Queens Kickshaw, opens.
The beloved Astoria restaurant, mostly known for its
variety of grilled cheeses, closed its doors on Aug. 27. But
owners Jennifer Lim and Benjamin Sadler announced
they would return to the location at 40-17 Broadway
with a new concept.
In a newsletter to customers, the owners announced
that Ha’s Chinese will be up and running on Dec. 5
starting with only dinner service. Chef Eric Simpson,
who has worked at New York City restaurants like
Corton and The Elm for more than a decade, will
take the helm.
