I ordered from DoorDash on a Saturday around dinner time before reading any reviews and the food showed up in about 45 minutes and still piping hot. I got the shoyu broth with ground pork, egg and veggies and everything tasted really quality and rich. I also ordered edamame on the side and they give a really good sized portion. I definitely recommend! read more

Ordered ramen here for the first time yesterday. I placed the order online and it was ready in less than 20 minutes. I ordered the original, the Michi Ramen and thought it was delicious! My only complaint was that I ordered and was charged for the marinated soft boiled egg and it didn't make it into my bowl. That was a bummer. I'll give them another chance since the food was tasty. read more

Michi is amazing. Delicious stout broth, pork belly, soft eggs and fresh ingredients. It's fast delicious and the best!!

I honestly think they are way better than tatsuya up the road!!! Amazing flavors! Do yourself a favor and come here instead of waiting in that line! read more

My first impression of this restaurant is authentic Japanese ramen. The best customer service and there is no wait time here. My wife and I ate the meat lover ramen bowl and it packed more flavor than others read more

Michi Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

I still give this place 3 stars because takeout ramen is convenient, but the inconsistencies between the takeout storefront and the main restaurant on N. Lamar are somewhat frustrating. I've always ordered the same thing: veggie ramen, easy on the cabbage, with the shiitake shoyu. Occasionally, I'll get the miso broth. Both times, the staff seemed confused about "easy on the cabbage" and they didn't offer me a choice of broth, saying they only had one broth for the veggie. What? If they're going to have a different menu, that's totally cool. I get that they likely don't have the same kitchen capacity as their main restaurant, but some transparency about this would be nice. Plus, I hope they make it easier to customize in the future. It's no fun for anyone to be confused about an order. read more

I would pick Raman Tatsu-ya any day of the week over this, they are cheaper than Michi Ramen as well !! Was not a fan, will never be back. Just plain out tasted bad ! read more

Reliably delicious. Ready on time. Perfect for grabbing ramen to take to your desired spot on a rainy day. I usually go with the Michi and add a soft egg, garlic, and corn. The chili sauce adds a really great kick as well. 10/10 recommend :) read more

The most pathetic ramen and service in Austin. Let's start with the service. To be fair, I did not know this place was a takeout only spot. However, with the amount of questions I asked about the menu and what to order, that cool cashier with the awesome haircut (March 10 7PM) didn't bother to tell me this place was take out only until after my lady paid (so progressive, love her). Really, dude? I asked about getting a beer, if I could get a water glass, where the tables were, etc. Just fucking mention that you were take out only along the way...communicate, derp! The food. Not impressed. Hopefully Yelp let's me upload the real life photo of how this shit looks when you get it home, which is gross. The lukewarm broth is salty and the add on egg was actually burnt and hard! Does any of your staff actually know where Japan is on a map? XO PS. My lady just said she was hungry after finishing this shit 5 minutes ago. Hopefully she vomits it up after watching this shit fuck asshole Republican debate and wants to go to Wholly Cow Burger. WHOLLY COW! WHOLLY COW! WHOLLY COW! WHOLLY COW! WHOLLY COW! WHOLLY COW! PPS. Make ramen great again. read more

Michi Ramen - Some dump ramen they charge 10 dollars for...$$$$$$$$$$ - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

Having been disappointed in the rapidly degrading quality of tetsu-ya's ramen, I decided to check out this place. I was very reluctant to at first, as it signified that Tetsuya was finally dead to me, but I walked on in. I have to say I was disapointed. I was disapointed in myself for not trying this place earlier. It was cheaper, faster, tastier, and over all better. Not to mention they have a nice selection of beer that would even satisfy the snobbist of beer enthusiests. read more

This is undoubtedly my go-to for ramen. The ingredients are superb in both taste and quality. I personally order the "soup and broth" so that I can enjoy a fully customized meal, though their other options can be just as good depending on your tastes. The service is lovely, and while I normally dislike ordering food on the phone, the good folks at Michi Ramen make it a breeze. In all my years of eating here, they have never once messed up my order. My one concern is the wait time. Due to the fact that this is a small but popular restaurant, wait times can reach an hour. Personally, it's worth the wait for me, but it may not be for you. read more

Sapporo with ajitama and spicy. best thing EVER!!!!!!!!!!

I already didn't love this place. I argued my boyfriend against coming here again. But he insisted. And here i sit 45 minutes after placing an order for ONE BOWL OF RAMEN, having called it in 15 minutes before my arrival and expecting only to wait about 10 minutes. We I've been sitting here on for 35 minutes plus their 15 minute head start. It's been nearly an hour wait. This is BS. their electric POS wouldn't alow me to specify no tip (was planning at the time to leave cash) but now they have a tip for so TERRIBLE service. I just stopped the cashier to ask where my order was, he asked my name, and then went back to taking new customers orders. I will NEVER be back to this ridiculous establishment again. read more

The delivery was amazing and the food was delicious. Everything came fresh and hot and separated. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

So my son swears this is the best ramen in ATX (but he goes to the real restaurant on N.Lamar) I will beg to differ. The take out only place on S.Lamar was just kinda OK. Still feeling my way around ramen wise, but I prefer the other place on S Lamar, you know the one with the line. Like their broth much better. Michi good for take out though and no line. read more

First, I will say the ramen is absolutely delicious. Service - pretty terrible, even under the current circumstances. The set up for social distancing is horrendous; small space, lots of people, and you can't wait in your car. I placed an order around 4pm to pickup at 8pm on a Friday. I arrived at 8pm, guy checked the to go holder box, was told it would be a few minutes. 20 mins... will be a few minutes... 30 minutes... finally at 45 minutes the guy asks for my name again, checks the to go box, and it turns out my food had been in there THE ENTIRE TIME. Additionally, guy at the front was super rude to another customer who rang the bell twice, heaven forbid. Everyone else in there seemed to be waiting at least 30 minutes for advance orders as well. read more

No complaints about Michi Ramen's delivery service or quality of food. I really like that they do not use styrofoam containers - so major points for that. But ultimately, the bottom line is that ramen needs to be enjoyed immediately upon serving and not travel a car-ride's distance to you. It's just that kind of food. I love Michi ramen, though, and will absolutely still be a brick and mortar patron. Here is a photo of the Jungle, regular broth. read more

Michi Ramen - Jungle with extra egg and side of seaweed salad. No styrofoam is awesome! - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

Ordered the michi ramen for take out and observed the following: Preface, I initially ordered the Dipping Ramen and they were out by 8PM on a Fridayreally?! 1) they separate noodles and broth, understandable. But when i combined the two, the warm broth barely softened the hard noodles I received. I didn't enjoy my noodles. 2) speaking of noodles, I believe I didn't get enough for $10. i'm still hungry. 3) pork was extra salty, broth is also very salty. read more

Shout out to the guy who took my order late as heck last night. I think his name was Ben. I already love this place but I love it even more now. You guys rock! read more

First time we've had this ramen and it was incredibly good. The noodles were perfect, al dente but not tough, the veggies were just right and the broth was exactly what we wanted - rich and interesting. I loved all the combinations that were possible ordering here - I didn't feel locked into just a few set combos, as you may encounter at other ramen places around town. We added garlic, chili oil, butter, and corn and it was spicy and rich and filling, but I'm excited to order again and try all the new combos that are possible. This was the picture of a perfect meal for a cold day and we'll be ordering again. I had to bump from 5 stars to 4 stars because the delivery was late even after pre-tipping the driver - it took an hour and a half to get our food and this was late afternoon so we assumed non-peak time as well. However based on the food alone this would be a 5 star review. read more

I hate to give less than five stars to a take out ramen place that offers vegan options, but the service at this place one-star POOR. EVERY TIME I order from here there's an issue. It's either late (and I mean LATE, as in 20-30 minutes), cold, and/or has an incorrect ingredient. If you're going to specialize in take out and delivery, you would think you could get the timing right. TIP: it's better to overestimate the time the order will take than underestimate it. And how hard is it to read a list of requested ingredients and follow instructions? Yet I continue to order from here because the ingredients are fresh and delicious. I noticed that a lot of the reviews complain about the quality of the meat; I wouldn't know since I don't eat meat. read more

The last time I ate this (a week ago), it literally made me sick. Also, the pork belly I paid an extra $2 for was all fat and completely inedible. Super disappointed. read more

95% of the time I love this place. It is a go-to for takeout when neither my husband nor I want to cook. We both love getting the Jungle. It's so flavorful and packed with meat, not just noodles. However, tonight was not a good night for Michi Ramen. Not sure what was happening in the kitchen, but quality assurance was missing. It's like someone forgot half the seasonings and didn't follow the recipe. :-/ read more

Delicious ramen and very friendly staff. They even gave us some mochi ice cream on the house!

I have to say the stuff is pretty good considering it is "fast food" ramen. Fresh ingredients, perfect spice, flavorful, and they didn't cut me short on anything. I ordered the Jungle with light tonkatsu pork broth, spicy ground pork, and I added the veggie mix plus an ajitama. I deducted one star because the wait time seems to be a gamble there, which can be frustrating. read more

Good food, but takeout is verrryyy sloooowwww. We ordered 35 minutes ago, I arrived 20 mins ago and am still waiting for the food. And they don't have seating-it's a takeout only place. $31 for two bowls of takeout ramen. Eh. read more

This is the best ramen I've ever had. I always get the meat lovers and it is always perfect. It is like a hug from my mother. I hear all these hipsters talking about Ramen Tatsu-ya and I tried it, but it doesn't come close. read more

The ramen is great, and they have veggie options. Broth is good. Service is fast and friendly. Didn't experience a terrible line, and it's close to home. I literally could not ask for a more convenient set up. This will probably be a weekly stop. GET THE SPICY OIL. It makes the bowl. read more

I had the vegetable Ramen, it was good. Big size. Broth was very flavorful. Also had some Mochi ice cream that was a nice treat. Friendly and very quick service read more

Favorite take out and delivery. Just don't mix the ramen and soup until you're ready to eat it!

Went to this place as it was close and had a fair amount of veggie options. Food was pretty mediocre unfortunately. The spicy noodles we just alright and were intermittently extremely spice (like they weren't mixed well), the curry tasted like it was just a brown gravy from a TV dinner, and the ramen was the only thing decent enough to give the 2 star review. I would hope that either things improve or find another spot... And just an update, we spent the next several hours pounding Tums because my wife and I felt so bad after the meal read more

Don't bother. You'll spend the same amount of time waiting for them to throw together your order that they forgot to put in than you would waiting in the line at Ramen Tatsu Ya. There seems to be a complete lack of management or organizational structure at all here. How unfortunate for this location to be so badly run that it's ruined the good name Michi created for itself so many years ago. read more

This just isn't that great, and expensive for what you get. Every now and then I get a craving for a hefty ramen bowl, but do not want to go sit down somewhere or try to create my own. That is pretty much the only time I go to Michi. It doesn't taste bad, it just doesn't taste remarkable. I really don't love the chuncks of meat, and the ground pork is bland. They just introduced pork belly which seems nice, but the price point is outrageous (2$ a slice). Also with the pork belly, it had a sweet flavor that didn't quite fit in with the flavor of the rest of the soup. Overall, price wise, it is not a great value. The only benefit of this place is that they deliver and allow pickup. It's unfortunate that Daruma and Tatsu-ya do not accept to-go orders/aren't nearby. Otherwise I would never go to Michi. read more

Broth has no taste and was like warm, and cabbage was half raw. Very disappointed. Worst ramen I ever had.

Amazing food. The char siu bowl is tasty and they give you a lot of meat. Their ramen is also excellent and IMO is better than Tatsu-ya. Only problem is why on earth does it take so long to get your food?? What are they doing back there? 30+ minute wait for a bowl of rice and some soup noodles is pretty ridiculous. It's take-out only so there's no bar or table seating. We sat on an uncomfortable bench waiting forever for our food just staring at the wall. I recommend calling in your order or ordering online then picking it up because the food is worth it and reheats well. read more

Stupidly did not read the reviews before we went and didn't know it was delivery/take-out only, so hopefully if you are here you aren't making that mistake! The ramen bowls were delicious and the staff was very helpful in helping us decipher the menu options. read more

I'm probably one of the few who prefer Michi Ramen over Tatsu-ya, but with that being said... I definitely think there is a difference in locations. The to-go only location just isn't the same and I would recommend going to the location up North. However, one of the good things about this location is that it has very quick service and the mochi was amazing. read more

I've had ramen from both this take-out spot and the restaurant on N Lamar and both times it was overly salty... and so were the tears I cried from disappointment. Ramen Tatsu-ya is better. read more

Michi was pretty amazing. Very convenient for pick-up especially since I live right next door. Next time I'll probably call ahead, but since I had never been I figured I would go in and order. This was my first time having ramen that wasn't a 10 cent pack from the store, so I felt like a total n00b while ordering. Other than a sort of awkward ordering experience with the person working there, the ramen was very tasty. For the price, you get a large portion and can save the other half for later unless you're hungrier than a hippo. Totally will be back!! read more
