    3-3.5 stars overall Had some reservations trying Mao's Ramen, but decided to give it a go anyway. Nice interior decor / vibe. There's a TV screen displaying the menu near the entrance. An iPad/menu was placed in front of us once order was taken. Minimal AC & started to feel stuffy (worse especially when cooking in the kitchen). Service needs to improve. There's only 2 people up front but I think they also run the kitchen? Took 15 mins to get water after being seated. Bigger (chashu) isn't always better. Tonkotsu Ramen wasn't terrible, but wasn't memorable either. Plenty of chashu but lacked flavor. Soft boiled egg was plain as well. Nice of the place to give complimentary dessert, mango sago (a bit sweet). Can give Mao's Ramen a try once but wouldn't come back.

    10's all around. From the hospitality to the food. The ramen was perfectly balanced with a homey feel to it. The owner and our server were very welcoming and kind. Do yourself a favor and give them a try!

    Great ramen with rich, flavorful broth. The ingredients were fresh, and was prepared with great attention to detail. Highly recommend!

    Shoyu ramen was good and rich in flavor very nice staff and very greet full service was greatread more

    1. Service - our waitress was amazing. She was friendly, and she was always there to make sure we…read morewere doing ok. I'm proud that they have servers of this caliber at Asian restaurants in Houston, TX. Usually you see professional servers at upscale restaurants. There was a busboy there towards the end, and even he was super professional. Whoever the manager is at this location, you guys are doing an outstanding job training the staff here. Keep up the good work! 2. Price - about $15/bowl. 3. Ambiance - The decor here is beautiful. There are natural lighting from the front, with wood panels everywhere, lanterns hung high. They did a nice job decorating the place and you definitely feel as if you're in Japan somewhere. 4. Food - This is where this place shines compare to all the ramen places in Houston. They have the option of low sodium broth. I took one sip, and it felt like home cooked Ramen. I'm not talking about instant ramen that you buy from the store, but the ramen made from scratch. I often go to ramen places in Houston and I dread going because I know how salty they taste. There are 2 other locations I have in mind in Houston that are also my favorites. But I would say this is not bad compared to the bowl of ramen I had in Narita, Japan. If you're wondering what I've ordered, it was the CHICKEN RICH RAMEN and make sure to request for low sodium. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area is well kept, clean, and the busboy is on top of things. The restroom is questionable. The personal restroom doors are hard to close and lock. For management, have a look at the restrooms and see if you can improve things. SUMMARY: I would definitely come back. It is just THAT GOOD!
