Definitely recommend this spot! The Carnitas Tsukemen is sooo good--highly recommend it. The chicken karaage was pretty solid too. The mole ramen, though, wasn't great--we barely touched it. Definitely an acquired taste. read more

Food was amazing! Everything tastes like the Mexican sauces, not spicy but enough picante for others (non-Mexican) to enjoy. The only downside is the wait time, so if you are in a rush do not stop here for a quick meal you will be late! Our wait time was about 30 min for two ramen, aguachiles and a taco. You get in line to place your order, pay, sit and wait. Once everything arrived.... Pork belly taco - as you may notice I don't have a picture. It arrived and on the last bite I remembered to take a picture. So I can only share my thoughts.... The flavor was amazing. The only thing missing was a little salsita. The pork belly was the right amount of crunchy and soft! Not too crunchy to become chicharrón but not soggy like crudo(un cooked) bacon. Mole tsukemen - comes as ramen that you dip in the mole. But of course I don't listen so I put all of the mole in my ramen and let me tell you.... It was amazing. Scallops aguachile - you can definitely taste like a morita chile but it's not spicy! Just enough to enjoy it. I can say this has been the best aguachile I've tried in a while. Carnitas Tonkotsu- was very buttery and creamy! You can taste the carnitas in the broth Overall, taste alone is definitely a 5 start! read more

YUM!!! Everything I ate was delicious! The cashier/server/waiter recommended the carnitas tonkatsu and we also ordered the hotate aguachile. She wasn't the friendliest or nicest but whatever not sure it would deter me from going back and I think that's why she's the way she is bc she know people are still going to come eat there but she was borderline rude and I come from NYC so that's saying a lot. They also charged me like $1.18 for 2 extra wedges of lime... but again I'll probably be back bc it's not every day I'm impressed with the food scene in Austin. read more

Mix of Japanese and Mexican cuisine! I was very impressed with the food here! The restaurant is located inside of the supermarket. You order the food at the counter, grab a number, and sit at any table at the food hall. Mole Tsukemen: had the perfect mole and crispy chicken! Every bite was so flavorful. I was very impressed with how well they did the flavoring. Carnitas Tonkotsu Shoyu: Thin ramen noodles. It was very flavorful with onion and carnitas flavoring. It was not spicy at all so for people that do not like spicy this is perfect for you! Chilaquiles - men: this was sooooo good!!!! Mix all the ingredients together and you get the perfect dry ramen! It was a kick of spice so be ready for it!! I want to come back to this place especially for this dish!! Must get!! The tacos were really good too!! We for the pork belly and the pollo asado tacos! I would highly recommend this place! Very unique, creative, and most importantly very delicious! read more

Food was okay. Some people in our party don't tolerate spice well, hence they asked for something mild. The soup they got (carnitas tonkotsu) ended up being spicy and they didn't finish it. So be warned that even "mild" options may still be quite spicy. The restaurant is located in a building with an Asian market and there is a thick spoiled fish odor in the air. It just smells horrid. I also didn't like that they have signs: "Don't steal our shit," "If you ask how much longer we need to wait for the food, we will add 5 more minutes to the wait time." The service was also a miss. First, they didn't give me a receipt even when I selected to have it printed. Then the cashier just left somewhere while a person from our party was left waiting to place an order. Then, when it was finally our turn to get the food, the server called our name, then said: "No, it's not for you," and just went roaming through the restaurant. We had to chase her to show the receipt, and after that we finally got our food. Also, it's a self-service restaurant so you will have to clean your table. There is no trash can so you will have to awkwardly put all of the trash in your bowls and somehow take it to a nasty dish station. Overall, this place is only worth it for the fusion aspect, but it's fairly similar to authentic ramen flavorwise.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ So, make your best judgement whether you really want to go here. read more

Definitely the most interesting ramen I've ever had in my life. The tex mex elements such as onions and cilantro work surprisingly well with the Japanese broths. The carnitas one is amazing, but we did not like the tripe one. I wish there were more ramen options or at least options to swap out things like tripe. Will definitely be back some day to try out the tacos! Ambience was alright - not the most buzzing of food markets. Would love to see these guys at someplace like the Hmart food court. Service was quick (although we went on a weekday) read more

This review covers both my first and second visits. My first impression of the food was this is delicious. The Chilaquiles ramen is considered a "dry ramen" so you won't get broth, but the sauce and thick noodles made this my favorite ramen. I bought the same bowl when I went yesterday! Pork Belly tacos were delicious and the Karaage appetizer that we bought yesterday was equally good, though I prefer the tacos. The first time I went, it was a rainy day and we went on Sunday around lunch time. The line was pretty much out the door and when we finally ordered, it took almost 25 minutes for the food to come out. Yesterday was Friday and we went at 6pm, an hour before they closed. Service was much quicker and the line was pretty short. Ambiance wise... the restaurant is located in a small food court of an Asian grocery store. Ramen Del Barrio is not a fancy date night location, but has more of a cafeteria feel. Depending on the number of people eating in the food court, it's harder to find available tables and some people don't always clean their tables before leaving. You throw away your trash and set your bowls on the designated area. read more

Ramen Del Barrio was absolutely delicious! The Asian/Tex Mex fusion of flavors creates dishes that are so unique. My friends and I shared: - Pastor Yaki-Tacos: I'm a huge fan of al pastor tacos to begin with, so combing perfectly seasoned, cooked pork belly with the charred pineapple/green salsa was incredible - Snow Crab Tostada: I LOVED the tostada! This was my favorite dish from RDB. It was a blast of flavor. Even though it's pricey for the size, I would go back just for the tostada - Carnitas Tonkatsu: large portion, very stuffing. The creaminess of the broth was great and I loved adding the habanero mayu salsa perronas to it! - Pozole Tonkosu: one of my friends got this, so I only tried the broth but I liked how it was more chili based and less creamy We came at a busy time and waited in line for ~40 minutes. The food came relatively quickly after ordering but I wish the process to order food was more efficient. Although the seating is casual (in the food court of Hana World), the food easily makes up for the small downsides. RDB is definitely a place I will come back to, especially on the rare cold days of Austin! read more

Amazing mix between Mexican and Japanese. Definitely underrated & would come back if I'm in town. Ramen was excellent. It was a very unique twist. The surprise favorite was actually a soupless ramen, which was served with no soup. Definitely try the chilaquiles-men! Tacos are sizable and excellent as well, something to try if you want tacos, otherwise, I'd focus on the ramen, since that's their specialty! read more

Ramen Del Barrio - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've come here twice around lunch time during the week. Neither was particularly busy, even around what I presume would be their midday peak. However they are a fairly small staff, so it wouldn't surprise me if you encounter a long wait at times. I've tried the mole ramen and menudo ramen and really enjoyed both! I could see the mole being a bit polarizing, so I'd only advise trying that if you're a big mole fan The menudo ramen is one of the best soups I can remember trying. The richness of the broth and corniness from the hominy pair together so perfectly, the tortilla chips make for a nice change in texture. I could see the honeycomb tripe not being everyone's jam since it is a little chewy, but flavor wise it essentially absorbs the rest of the dish, so I think it's relatively approachable for an unfamiliar pallete Overall, I think this is a must try and well worth coming out of your way for if you live in Austin. If Austin were a more soup appropriate climate I'm sure I would have tried everything on their menu by now, and hope I'm able to over time read more

Ramen Del Barrio food never misses. They have consistent quality no matter what time you go, or what day you go. Even with their consistent lines and busy-ness, I have never had sub par food there. I have one gripe with Ramen Del Barrio - when they open at 3:00, and are sold out of multiple items by 3:45. My one question is: why would you open for two separate time blocks of the day, but not have food prepared enough for the second time block? Wouldn't it be a better business model to "sell out" quicker in the morning, so you have materials left over for the evening service? Other than that, the ramen is impeccable. I'm not a huge tripe person, so I wound up taking it out of my ramen and giving it to my friends. The quality and taste of the other ingredients didn't even seem like anything was missing. I would say 4.5 out of 5, solely because it is extremely frustrating to drive the 25 minutes to arrive at 3:00, wait in line for 30 minutes, and have what you wanted be sold out by the time you reach the counter. read more

I'm really disappointed that the last 2 times I've been here they don't put any actual meat in the carnitas tonkatsu. For how proud of they are of their food (price), I expect a least SOME meat. I expect the broth to basically be liquified fat. That's what you sign up for with real tonkatsu. But the "meat" is nothing but tough chewy pieces of fat with no meat attached. Now I understand why I experienced it more than once last time; once going down and 2-3 times coming back up. I always get it to go. For those that don't know, the ingredients are separated. This isn't a case of everything mixed together and just by chance not getting any meat. They literally grab about a small handful of "meat" and set it in the bowl with the broth served separately so you can put it together. So yeah. I should have unknotted the bag and checked. But for $24 all in, you'd think there would be some quality control. Next time just tell me you're sold out instead of pissing on my leg and telling me that it's raining. I can respect that. read more

When I heard about the concept behind Ramen Del Barrio, my interest was quite peeked as this was the first place I've heard to do a Japanese and Mexican fusion. However, I think they did a great job with merging the two, especially when it comes to their tacos. Who would have thought one of my favorite tacos now resides here, inside of the food court of Hana World Market. Yaki-Tacos: This trip we tried Lengua (beef tongue), Pork Belly, and Pollo Asado (chicken thigh) and let me tell you each protein was cooked so tender, even the chicken! I liked how you can taste the smokiness of each one, and the overall flavor profile was well balanced. Their tortillas were also soo good, soft and chewy but not gummy, and they were also strong enough to hold everything in rather than falling apart with each bite! Speaking of able to hold up, I liked how their tostada was sturdy and held the weight of the hamachi and toppings without getting soggy. The hamachi tasted fresh, however we just couldn't eat much as the habanero mayu was too spicy for us. If you can handle the heat and a fan of hamachi, this one is for you! Karaage, I thought this was well fried and found it interesting they used the same Karaage for the Mole Tsukemen but you def get more from the sharing portion. Ramen: We tried the Carnitas Tonkotsu and the Mole Tsukemen, and out of the two I would pick the Carnitas Tonkotsu handsdown. I can't quite describe it but the mole just didn't work for me. However, the Carnitas Tonkotus was very tasty with a rich and yummy broth, and I personally liked the mixtas we chose for our choice of guts. Overall, I enjoyed being able to try a new concept, and loved the little details they included such as using origami paper for their liners. However as a heads up don't be surprised by your final bill as ours was higher than I expected especially after all the add-ons...but there was no way I was going to share 1/2 an ajitama egg...Anyways, if you are in the area I would definitely stop on by to at least try once. read more

Mexican/Japanese fusion? I was intrigued but dubious. But my Carnitas Tonkotsu was delicious, silky smooth broth with yumbites of pork and the kick of a floating jalapeño and the extra garlic bomb. My companions shared their chicken Karaage, which was also quite good. The one Fail of our lunch was my BF's shrimp tostada. It took forever to arrive at our table--long enough for the three of us who were halfway through our ramen bowls to wonder if it had been overlooked. I wanted to go ask, but a sign warned that they'd add an extra five minutes to a late order you inquired about. We assumed the long wait meant that the order was being COOKED. But no. When it finally arrived, the leettle tostada was cold. As in, refrigerator cold. WTF? BF was so so annoyed he looked ready to punch someone, but he always prefers pouting to actually complaining--so I complain for him. The counter guy and a cook explained that it is *meant* to be served cold, like chilled seafood. "Like ceviche?" Brother John suggested back at our table. "They probably should mention that on the menu." BF growled, "You don't put mayo on ceviche," before he ate a few bites, staring off into space as once again the Universe kicked him in the youknowwhats. But if they didn't cook it fresh, why did it take an extra 20 minutes to get to our table? I'd go back for more of the ramenito, but I don't think My Love will join me. We stopped at P Terry's on the way home to get him a cheeseburger. With mayo read more

Re-visited this past Saturday and I maintain that this is the best unique ramen in Austin! Line was shorter this go around and we were able to sit at the bar which was so nice to look at the Japanese and Mexican decor. Service was quick and friendly, and of COURSE the ramen was incredible. Also got to try the octopus taco and it had that finely chopped onion and cilantro with a hit of spicy sauce perfection taste (in addition to the charred chew of the octopus chunks). Highly recommend both! We were stuffed! read more

Nut allergy warning - Mole has peanuts. Everything I ordered turned out fine. Careful for the salsa macha, too. A recently opened ramen fusion shop inside Hana World Market, Ramen del Barrio has a surge of popularity after being reviewed by a number of media sources. There is a 40-minute wait for ramen (timed at exactly 37 minutes, after getting through a 20+ minute line) if you go during lunch hours on a weekend. I'll just say... I don't think it's worth it. Our appetizer, the Karaage, came out after 25 minutes. It was perfectly crispy and the mayo-tomatillo sauce actually went surprisingly well with it. This appetizer is very sharable and a good quantity of chicken for the price. 4.5/5 The Carnitas Shoyo Tonkatsu came out after 37 minutes. In my opinion, the broth is rich but bland. The portions are small (barely 1/3 of a radish, very little meat, not much noodle). I could have eaten two bowls. According to my table, adding the spice (salsa macha) helped it a lot. The grilled onion and jalapeno (seed in, very hot!) were the only "fusion" pieces of the dish besides the carnitas. I've had better, cheaper ramen with a sub-10 minute wait. 2.5/5, upped to 3.5/5 with the salsa macha. We walked around the supermarket a bit and bought a drink there for cheaper than the restaurant. There is also complimentary water near the restroom. They also were sold out of their menudo ramen despite coming at 12:00. Overall, I'd recommend it to try once and if I had an hour to burn just to get food, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. read more

As a Hispanic I really appreciated the cross in this meal. It was super tasty, all great flavors, the broth from the carnita ramen was AMAZING! I've never considered mole with noodles but this place really captured the essential flavors of both the mole sauce and the ramens. I really wish they would open up more locations and stay open later. This is also great food to eat after a night out. The service was nice, they were busy but got everything out in a timely manner. The location threw me off at first, not the best seating as it shares with two other places but don't let that throw you off. Highly recommend. read more

Ramen Del Barrio - Mole and carnitas - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been following Ramen Del Barrio since it was Ramen Garage and have been eager to try their take on Mexican/Japanese fusion. Of course I was most excited to try their famed carnitas tonkatsu shoyu, but it was sold out by the time I rolled around for dinner. Do note that their items do run out so best to come early. I ordered the next best thing. I don't remember the name of the particular ramen bowl I got, but it included carnitas, avocado, tortilla strips, cilantro, and red onion in a light and savory broth. Delicious! Now, the hamachi crudo I'd come back for in a heartbeat. The hamachi, tomatoes, guac, and nori melted together beautifully in a symphony of citrus and crunch. It was definitely in a league of its own. The lengua taco is a must! It was tender and flavorful. That beef tongue was braised to perfection and that hint of lime was exactly what it needed to level up. Based on just these three items, it's safe to say I'll be back to sample more dishes. read more

Carnitas Tonkatsu Ramen: difficult to review a fusion like this. because there isn't a single standard to compare against, but I'll try. Broth: good mouth feel, but surprisingly lightly seasoned with little depth. Okay, but not exciting at all. Carnitas: pretty good, but the crispy aspect of great carnitas is lost when it's submerged in broth. Likewise with flavor. Carnitas carries so much of its flavor in the juices, which get washed away in a soup. Noodles: disappointing. Pale and devoid of the bounce that excellent ramen should have. Toppings: also disappointing. The highlight was tortilla crisp strips. Otherwise there is only a couple slices of radish, half a mild pepper, and some green onion and cilantro. At least some corn would be appreciated. Presentation: very simple, definitely not the focus. That's okay, but the broth was also tepid, not piping hot the way ramen should be. read more

This divine fusion spot is located in the food court of a nondescript Asian market. It's not the kind of place most folks would just stumble across; you have to know it's here, or someone has to tell you about it, or maybe you see it on Yelp while looking for something to eat. Maybe you'd never find it at all. Which would be a tragedy. Once found, Ramen Del Barrio transforms from a food court place you could accidentally stumble across into a bright and vibrant tower of Austin's food world. These lofty words may sound like empty hype or marketing pablum. They are not. Ramen Del Barrio fuses Asian and Mexican staples into something new and unique. You'll want to start with one of their ramen offerings - I had the special conchinta tonkatsu. But don't leave without trying at least one of their divine tacos. The Neg-Ma chicken thigh taco is my personal favorite. Ramen Del Barrio is the kind of place I would travel to another city just to experience. You should, too, if you live outside Austin. And if you live in Austin, well, why haven't you gone already? Stop reading this and go. Experience it for yourself. read more

The restaurant is oddly located in the food court area of the Hana World Market but the food is unique and delicious. Ramen Del Barrio is the only eatery with a line of customers in a mostly empty food court. You have to place your order at the counter with the default gratuity set at 18% or more. The service is a bit slow and you have to put away your bowls and trays when you finish eating. The carnitas tonkotsu ramen was very delicious with its flavorful pork broth and mixed carnitas. The mole tsukemen is a thick noodle with house-made mole with fried chicken strips. Both dishes were expertly prepared and very tasty. You can understand how this establishment was recognized with the Michelin Bib Gourmand award (Although not a Michelin star rating, this recognition is given to restaurants that offer high-quality food at a reasonable price). read more

I totally understand why this place has so much hype. Firstly, the cashier knew the menu really well and gave me some really good recommendations based on what I was craving and how hungry I was. I split the tuna tostada with my friend and we each ordered the tonkatsu ramen. The tonkatsu ramen was so rich, and I was shocked by how hearty the broth was. Noodles were cooked perfectly, and the carnitas were so soft and moist. This was a really solid tonkatsu ramen dish, and I was very impressed. The only thing with ramen is that it tends to get quite boring after a couple of bites, and this one was very rich after a few bites as well. My friend and I loved the tuna tostada, and it was a great rec on the cashier's part. I love how much guacamole and tuna they put on the tostada, so every bite is perfect. It's such a cute space inside of the supermarket, and you can tell they have a lot of loyal fans because there were so many people eating inside despite how early it was in the day. read more

I've been wary of fusion ramen ever since the (now closed) BBQ Tatsu-ya ramen fiasco, but boy did RDB change my views on fusion ramen (take notes Tatsuya!) I ordered the carnitas Tonkotsu shoyu and it blew me away. Noodle texture: perfect. Carnitas: tender and flavorful. The broth was also delicious, a little different from traditional Japanese tonkotsu but I could taste the Japanese-Mexican fusion aspect. I can't describe the flavor profile properly but it would be if a bowl of ramen had a child with street tacos. I do wish the jalapeño was more charred to bring out the flavor and reduce the spiciness. I also got to taste the mole tsukemen. Although it was good, I wasn't as impressed as the tonkotsu. I wanted it to have the umami of a traditional tsukemen but it was just mole basically. Overall, I'm very impressed with RDB, and all the more credit since its creator is so young too! read more

Visited here a while ago for the first time. Perhaps it was because I visited about 30 minutes until closing time, but staff ignored me for a while until they took my order. I decided to not take this personally and look forward to my food. It wasn't helpful that many tables were staring at my family and I. I have a brother with Down syndrome, so we were getting a lot of stares. One lady even shoved my brother with her basket. It definitely ruined the experience for us. The food was so good but we didn't enjoy it as much since we did not feel welcome. I am willing to give this place another shot since I hear so many good reviews. read more

For as busy as it gets, maybe add a couple more cashiers and printed menu to look while you're in line and some food pictures to help decide what to get. I felt a little rushed when ordering. The guy working yesterday looked a little overwhelmed. I ordered a soda and a water and a cup was given to me, when I came back and asked where the water was, he pointed to the side and said it's right there look. The unlabeled water machine was connected to the business next to Ramen Del Barrio, so I didn't actually know where the water station was. As far as my carnitas Ramen bowl: the presentation was great and overall, I would rate it 6/10. The broth was average and could use a little more seasonings. The meat portion was a little small and could also use more flavor for the price, all the other ingredients were good. Food wait time wasn't bad, about 15 minutes for 3 of us. First time here and will probably give it another try and try some something different.

Let me start by saying I had no idea what I was doing here. I ordered the standard ramen some habanero salsa, and a chicken taco just to try something else since I made the trip up from south Austin. So glad I ordered the taco. Best taco I've ever had. I will be back just for that taco. Wow. The salsa was not what I was expecting (ships and salsa right!). Instead it was a paste to add to my ramen! I didn't add it at first. I tried the ramen without it and it was good but a bit bland for my taste (to be fair I do prefer heavy seasoning and lots of spice). But after adding the "salsa" the ramen came alive. It was very spicy so be careful with that salsa, but omg was it delicious. This place is well worth the trip. Side note - next door is a mochi donut place that was also awesome!!! read more
