    Friendly staff, very clean and organize l. My wife and I really enjoy what they have to offer here. In my opinion one of the better ramen shop in the area. Food is always fresh and delicious! They also serve sushi as well but we only ever tried the ramen. Come show your support if your in the Clear Lake area

    Tempura cheesecake

    Small shop next to a big shopping plaza. It's very easy to find & there's plenty of parking! Ordered the X Mazeman and it was rich, unique in flavor, and a pretty decent sized portion. There's pork belly & ground meat, and comes with 2 fried eggs and a bowl of rice & sheet of seaweed on the side. The noodles were great quality. We also got the tempura cheesecake which was to die for! The service was great & our waters were never empty. Only thing I wish were that the prices were just a bit more affordable. It's not fast food but it's also not a fancy date night either, but the food is pretty solid and I'd come back again.

    This place is a hidden WOW, the food was amazing. You want food to take you back to the streets of Kyoto, this is it. I loved their food. Tried different plates and each one kept getting better. Service was super quick and friendly. The place is a little dark bit it is relaxing. I will go back again for another rice dish along with some ramen.

    tonkatsu ramen
    Jason U.

    Came here after seeing the good reviews and it being local in the area. Went during a weekday afternoon as it wasn't busy at all and could sit anywhere by choice. The waitress who served us was very friendly and was receptive to any questions that we had. My friend and I both order the tonkatsu ramen. Overall, the ramen tasted very good (broth, pork, most toppings), however I wasn't really a big fan of the brussel sprouts addition to the ramen, as it added a bitter and burnt charred taste to it. The other thing I wanted to mention was the portions (specifically the chashu) did vary from mine versus my friends bowl as it was significantly lesser, so I will say the consistency can be worked on. I did get food poisoning shortly afterwards the same day, however, I'm not sure if it's from the ramen, thus I will not take off any points or make any conclusions based on my own personal experience. Overall, give it a go if in the area.

    Everything was great; service (Alainah), food, ambiance (calm & chilling). Definitely coming back if I'm around again.

    Great new place in the Clear Lake area!! One of the few places to serve mazemen, and they do a great job!!! We had some great appetizers (spicy salmon in as taco-like shell of fried seaweed), gyoza, and spicy chicken. All very flavorful and presented artfully. The "X Mazemen" was enjoyed by both my wife and I. Very hearty! Try it first without vinegar, then splash s little vinegar on to see how it brings out the flavors. It's a new place, so no liquor license yet, but you can bring in your own. I had the Thai tea, which was the best I have had outside of Thailand. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed!

    We came here for the first time and we really loved it!! Everything was super yummy We really loved ramen and spicy tuna taco We'll definitely be back!

    Shoyu Ramen

    Finally decided to give this place a shot, so we came here after church. It was nicely themed like a typical ramen shop and very clean. Our waitress was really nice and was kind enough to tell us all the specials when we didn't know what we were going to order. We ordered some appetizers which were the takoyaki and the spicy salmon tacos. I also noticed that they had a small menu for sushi rolls, as well, however we decided not to order any this time around. Maybe next time! The takoyaki was really good. The outside was lightly crisped and the inside was just filled with delicious seafood creaminess. They also weren't so piping hot that we couldn't just stuff our face with it right away like other places, where it's just so hot we burn ourselves. The spicy salmon tacos were also very delicious. It was lightly crisped and with the pickled vegetables, it really paired well. Finally, onto the main course: I ordered the shoyu ramen and my boyfriend ordered the tonkotsu ramen. The broth was very flavorful and not too salty. The noodles had a good 'bite' to them and the pork chashu was very tender. It was overall a really good experience and I do plan on coming back to try out their sushi menu next, as well as their rice bowls!

    Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with toppings on the side
    Melissa E.

    My husband and I went with my brother to Master X Ramen this afternoon and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Spicy Salmon tacos, Takoyaki, and Crispy Wings to start. The Takoyaki was crisp on the outside and topped with wasabi mayo and eel sauce and lots of bonito flakes. Benito flakes move or "dance" when placed as toppings and have an umami, smoky, savory and slightly fishy flavor. They are wonderful and fun to watch as the Takoyaki cools. The Crispy Wings with sweet chili sauce came next. The wings had thick, crisp breading and were scored to allow the sauces to get down to the bone for a deep flavor throughout the wings. These were even better than they look, and we thought they looked phenomenal. Next came the Spicy Salmon Tacos. Spicy salmon was packed in a crispy fried seaweed "shell" on top of a thin layer of slightly pickled and topped with thinly sliced, fried scallions. The fried seaweed gave a pleasant texture change from the spicy salmon and the pickled cucumber (which sounded very strange to us in this dish) provided a fresh bite that worked in combination with everything. The ramen followed. We ordered 2 Spicy Tonkotsu Ramens with one having all the toppings on the side, and one non-spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. These were served in a smaller portion that what we are used to, but filled with so many fresh ingredients and house-made, hand pulled noodles that we felt it was a good size for the value. The sides included chashu pork, seasoned egg, kikurage (a type of Japanese mushroom,) menma, (bambo,) (fish cake, scallions snd charred Brussels sprouts. The tonkotsu broth was strong and all the toppings were fresh. The yolk of the seasoned egg was cooked to custardy perfection. The service was great and the food came out very quickly. My husband and I lived in a heavily influenced Japanese area for 29 years and this ramen could easily compete with ramen from that area. We live over 30 minutes away, but we will definitely be back when we are craving ramen.

    chicken bao
    Lailah L.

    Very welcoming staff. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is very well kept and clean. Nice lighting and vibe. We ordered a few things off the menu so let's get into it. Chicken Bao slayed. I'd give it a 9/10 only because the portion was way to small for my hungry self. But regardless it was a tasty appetizer. Spicy Tuna Tacos gets a 5.7/10 smelled a bit too much like fish me.. let's just say it didn't make the cut for the to-go box Shoyu Mazeman is a 9/10 as well, I don't really know what it was in that bowl, but it was delightful. Fried Oreos were 8/10 they were good, could be great though. Overall the food was great. Can't complain. I recommend this place for sure

    Veggie ramen with egg and spicy chili paste! AMAZING! Wonderful service, huge portion sizes and reasonable prices! Love Master X!!!!

Flying V Harvest was fantastic. I drank that broth like I just came out of the Sahara. So good. The Impossible meat fusion is a funny add but a good protein bump. It was a few days ago but I think I'm still full from that ramen bowl. The vibe is modern high ceiling bumping music; my in-laws found it to be too loud. I think they are giving you an excuse to lean in and get a little closer to your companion. The vibe is chic yet also casual so bring whoever you want but this would work for date night. The font on the menus is squint inducing so do your research ahead of time or prepare to spend more time perusing the menu than usual, especially with the dim lighting. They offer thin or thick noodles and can mix some broth options to adjust spice level. Drinks- the smoked in front of your face whiskey is a treat and a show. Solid spot. No regrets. Salivating at the thought of the next visit.

    I had a great experience at ramen Tatsu-ya. It was my first time here & I was very impressed…read more I ordered the "mi-so-hot" & it was amazing. First - the ramen came out super fast. I was very surprised. And my broth was so delicious. It had such a rich umami flavor due to the miso & I thought the spice level was perfect. Honestly - I could eat jhst that broth for a whole meal. Unlike buldak or some other spicy ramens - the main selling point wasn't the spice. You could get an additional "spice bomb" if you wanted some more heat. The ramen toppings were good but not outstanding - same with the noodles. I thought the "mi-so-hot" was easily 3x better than "the og". The broth in "the og" was pretty interesting and more unique tasting. It felt like the main notes were just umami, pork, and oil. Not bad, but felt like it was missing a little something to make it truly good. If I had just got the OG, I'd rate this place a bit lower - but as it stands I'd 100% come back here for the "mi-so-hot" The interior was pretty nice. It was more "communal style seating" with a couple of big tables. There is also some smaller booths. It's an "order at the counter" type restaurant as well. I saw several comments about parking & was a bit concerned when driving over. I know that part of westheimer is always packed! But there is an attached parking lot & at 3pm on a Sunday, there was plenty of parking! Also - there is some street parking in the neighborhood north of the shop. Overall - will 100% be coming back for some more spicy ramen. Would recommend

One waitress served everyone in the restaurant while I was there. She was speedy in taking and delivering orders. She seemed very nice! Food: ordered Tonkotsu Gachi and my mom ordered the yuzu. Food arrived very quickly, though we ordered no appetizers. The tonkotsu broth was rich and velvety in texture, but more like a mild umami in flavor. The chashu pork was pale, but melt in your mouth buttery and bursting with savory pork goodness! The marinated egg wasn't brought up to temperature with the broth -- a little cooler than room temperature, with a medium oozy yolk. It felt like the marinade penetrated all through to the yolk -- it was great! I welcomed the novel choice to use red onion over the usual scallions. It was a nice touch of color and brought in that bright, juicy onion flavor that I crave. Noodles were perfect texture. Not too hard or mushy. This bowl feels made to focus on the broth and flavor and not so much an instagram post. Delicious!! My only complaint was a very very very slight bitterness in the background. I couldn't pin where it was coming from. Maybe that's a risk of simmering bones for so long. I'll keep this short because I couldn't just eat my moms bowl... The Yuzu shio broth was clearer, with bright, citrusy, and savory body. The bamboo shoots were golden (grilled?) with a little snap to it. Reminds me of a king oyster mushroom. This is really a unique broth and I haven't had anything like it. You should definitely try it! Restaurant: clean, neat, every table literally has its place /orientation. Deep wood furniture, honeyed lighting, and dark window shades give the restaurant a cozy chic ambience despite visiting around noon. Good food, great service. Great prices. Large portions.

I chose the tonkatsu ramen with the lunch special add on of pork and rice for 3.90. The ramen was a 7/10 for me. The egg, the pork and the broth lacked flavor. The flavor on the pork in the rice dish was better, but the rice was overcooked and mushy. I gave up on my bowl about halfway through and left unsatisfied. I don't think I'll be back.
