This spot is pretty cool. It's a Japanese Mexican fusion ramen place tucked inside an Asian market, and I can see why it's popular. When we got there, the line was going down the side of the wall. It's basically a little hole in the wall with food court seating, and there are a couple of other small places right next to it. The food was legit. They've got this habanero salsa that looks like black tar and it's seriously intense. The lady working there told us to only put a little bit in and she wasn't lying. That stuff is next level spicy. The ramen was super good though. Great flavor and a cool fusion twist that actually works. Only thing is the price. For two bowls of ramen, some sashimi, and two sodas it was about $75. That's kinda crazy for a casual spot like this, so not sure I'd go all the time. Still, I really liked the vibe and I can't believe I never noticed this place inside the market before. Definitely worth checking out if you want something different and you can handle a little heat.
Ramen del Barrio is the kind of place that makes you rethink everything you thought you knew about comfort food. Ramen and Mexican flavors together? Sounds wild--until you try it. Then it just makes perfect sense. Tucked inside an unassuming Asian market, the restaurant may be temporary (they're here until December 21, 2025), but it's packed with personality. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the energy of a Japanese ramen house--anime art lining the walls, bright colors, and a hum of excitement that matches the boldness of the menu. You order at the counter, find your seat, and watch the magic happen. I went for the Mole Tsukemen, a dish that perfectly captures what Ramen del Barrio is all about--creativity, flavor, and cultural soul. The thick, hand-pulled noodles come served beside a steaming bowl of rich, house-made mole studded with tender carnitas and crispy tortilla strips. Tradition says to dip the noodles in the sauce, but I couldn't resist pouring the mole straight over and mixing it all in. One bite and I was transported--back to college days when ramen and my mom's Mexican leftovers got me through the week. Only this time, it was elevated to something extraordinary. The mole was earthy, smoky, and beautifully complex, with just enough spice to make my forehead glisten. It's not for the faint of heart, but that's part of the fun. The service was fast and friendly, and despite the line of eager diners, the team behind the counter never lost their smiles. It's no wonder Guy Fieri dropped by for Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. Ramen del Barrio is a celebration of flavor and culture--a place where creativity meets comfort, and every bite tells a story. I can't wait to visit again once they open their new brick-and-mortar spot--and this time, I'll remember to take a photo before I dig in.
Not your traditional ramen place. The ramen has a Japanese/Mexican fusion which surprises my husband and I. We were in town for graduation and decided to grab lunch at Ramen Del Barrio. The restaurant is inside a market. It had a small food court section that had about 3-4 restaurants. Plenty of space to choose your table. Ramen Del Barrio also had a small bar-top area for seating. We ordered Carnitas Tonkotsu ramen and a Hamachi tostada to share. Hamachi Tostadas - diced Hamachi, habanero mayu, agave, ponzu soaked cherry tomatoes, nori & guacamole. One word. Phenomenal. It all paired nicely together and was my favorite dish. One order only comes with one tostada so if you're with other people, you might want to order more than one. Carnitas Tonkotsu - Shoyu tare, pork bone broth. The noodles were cooked to perfection. Neither too chewy nor too hard. The broth was creamy & satisfying. Very well balance of umami from the broth. We would order this again. Great experience, friendly staff and would return if I am in the area.
One of my friends in the area couldn't stop talking about the greatness of the food at Ramen Del Barrio and so on my way out of town ( going home to CA) I decided to have lunch here. That said, I didn't think they would be located in a food court of an Asian market! The location doesn't do them any harm as there was a long lunchtime crowd with the surrounding tables full or ramen customers. I was happy to get a seat at the counter which I loved because it gave me the chance to look at all of there restaurants imagery and art...all lovely. I ordered: 1) Carnitas tonkatsu ramen bowl-the noodles were amazing and had good resistance without being chewy. The carnitas (pieces of meat) were good and the right amount for the bowl. The star for me was the broth... like nothing I've ever tried; delicious with a lot of depth. 2) one campinion taco-a mushroom taco that's was so full of flavor and texture. The handmade corn and blue corn ( I think) taco added to an already delicate texture. 3) one pastor taco- the slice of pork was a little thicker than I expected but was full of grill and charred flavor in addition to the spices that I could place. Ramen Del Barrio does someone head turning stuff with some basic concepts from Mexican and Japanese cuisine. The food they serve isn't fancy...has a street food vibe that includes a high level of flavor and execution....in my experience better than some sit down restaurants. Im envious of anyone that can have this food as their lunch everyday because it's truly special.
Ramen Del Barrio - Austin, Texas My last meal at Austin, Texas before leaving for Houston, Texas. This is another Michellin guide mentioned restaurant, and this did not disappoint. I was not quite sure why would a Mexican fusion Japanese ramen would get a Michellin recommended, but I was glad to come here to find out. This place is inside a food court of Hana Market, which is a Korean market. I came at an opening time during weekdays, but I would recommend to avoid busy time just to avoid busy lines. The taco was very crispy and made with fresh tasted ingredients, and the Mole Tskumen ramen has this amazing noodles. The dipping saucr for Tskumen ramen was great, too. 1700 W Parmer Ln Suite 100, Austin, TX 78727
We got here on a weekend maybe a little after one and the line wasn't very long, but it still took quite awhile to take our order (maybe 30-40 min to order and get food). Fortunately the wait was worth it. The carnitas ramen was a fun twist on your more typical ramen, and the menudo (red) ramen was really tasty as well. It definitely has the taste of menudo with a mixture of ramen/menudo ingredients. I'd recommend both! The restaurant itself is sort of part of a korean grocery store, alongside a Korean restaurant and donut shop. It's a very casual setting, but you're there for the food. Overall I'd recommend to try it, I think the fusion ramen works well and think it's worth a drive to check it out!
My husband said he wanted Ramen for lunch so I found us this Mexican-Japanese Fusion gem. You know you picked a popular place when you look at the picture of the line when we arrived at 11:30 AM versus the line when we left around 12:15 PM The Carnitas Tonkatsu Ramen was phenomenal. Love that broth The snow crab on my tostada had a lovely sweet taste, balanced by a super crispy corn tortilla, and a hint of spice. And I wish I had gotten a picture of the pork belly taco since it was delicious, but my husband got to it first The pork belly was perfectly cooked and so tender, it almost melted in your mouth. And it was really cool that they served it on a tortilla that was half blue corn and half yellow corn. They have a 36 hour slow roasted short rib taco that I would love to try, but they were out of it today. Now we have something to look forward to next visit If we lived here, I would definitely be back often. Nice people that work their and its in a cool Food Court in Hana World Market Thank you Ramen Del Barrio for a great lunch!
Love love love love love!!!! Hokkaido scallop aguachile tostada -- the scallops were so fresh so sweet so tender! But damn this sauce has a KICK to it, so just be warned of that! Delicious but hot! Tuna tartare -- this was the special on the wall and it was very good, although maybe a little too heavy on the soy sauce. Chilaquile ramen (got the green sauce) - goddamn this is so freaking good!!! First, I loooove the noodles that they have here! They have chew, they have enough squiggle to really hang onto all the sauce. The salsa Verde gave a freshness that balanced the richness of the egg, avocado, and carnitas. Oh, I need to specially mention the carnitas here --- whatever they are doing, they are doing it RIGHT! It seems like they are using all sorts of pork bits (instead of, say, only pork shoulder). I found some stomach parts that add so much flavor and texture (but chopped up small so I think most ppl wouldn't even notice). I know that doesn't always sound good to people, but trust me, it's GOOOOOOD!
A chill spot in a grocery store food court- perfect for an easy meal! Standouts were the pozole rojo- I usually am not a soup/ramen person but this was such a warm comforting meal. The broth was flavorful and the portion was pretty decent. The tacos were good- fave was for sure the al pastor. They are on the pricier side though. Snowcrab tostada was also great. Staff is super friendly and food comes out quick!
Casual Japanese/mexican fusion spot in an Asian grocery store food court with truly some unreal tasty food. Ramen del Barrio was my last food spot I tried on a recent trip to Austin and it was truly a saved-the-best-for-last situation. Tucked into the Hana World Market food court, this is the definition of hidden gem. It opens at 11 am, and I went with friends who knew this place gets popping early, so we arrived at 10 til 11, and were maybe the 8th person in line. When they opened formally at 11, the line exploded exponentially, so arriving even a few minutes before opening is truly worth it. Once they opened, it took about 5 minutes for them to take our order - the line moves fast! They have seasonal specials and also change the menu a bit based on what they have. This is a Ramen spot with Japanese and Mexican flavors, but they also have some non-ramen items and we tried a bit of everything. There is maybe 1 vegetarian item (mushroom taco) on the menu, but otherwise this is really a spot for carnivores, and it would be hard to find anything to eat here as a vegan. For three adults and one toddler we got: Spicy Tuna Tostada (favorite item, so fresh and tasty), the Mole Tsukeman dipping noodles (smoky, incredible flavor, not spicy), Cochinita Tonkatsu (a special - creamy pork broth, our favorite of the ramen items), Tripa Taco (beef intestine, chewy and crunchy and so flavorful, favorite item), Champiñon Taco (mushroom super flavorful, surprisingly spicy), Costillo Taco (this was just okay, little less flavor than other items), and the Daily Sashimi (tuna, the truffle wasabi sauce was amazing). It was about $120 altogether but was also probably 1 more item than we should have ordered (we devoured the food but definitely slowed down towards the end and I didn't feel like I needed dinner after eating so much.) The flavors here are insane. Incredibly punchy and rich but not heavy. I am kind of spice averse and we had a 2 year old with us and the only item that really had spice was the mushroom taco (which I could still eat just fine), so I was pleasantly surprised by that. The combination of Japanese and Mexican doesn't seem like it should work but it did, and I really appreciated that the food wasn't overly salty or oily, as other fusion spots who have tried this style of food have been for me. The tuna tostada was one of the best things I ate all weekend. When we ordered it, they had to check if they still had some left, even though we were maybe the 8th person in line. They sell out of that item so quickly, it's a risk if you'll be able to get it, even if you get there early! Overall, this was a great example of how casual eats are truly unbeatable in Austin and there are some real hidden gems if you're willing to go off the beaten path!
Wanted to leave a review of this place before they move to their brick and mortar later in December. If you haven't been to the current location it's inside the food court of a Korean grocery that is also closing this month. I work in an office park nearby a couple days a week and so there's one day a week that I happen to work from the office and they are open during lunch hours. If you happen to come here the week I wrote this review of next week try to be in line before 11:30am. The staff regulates the speed of the line so the kitchen can manage the workload so be patient if you arrive later. I normally sit at the counter but you can sit anywhere in the food court in front of the stall so you can hear when your name when they deliver your order to your table. I get their carnitas tonkutsu which has an excellent pork base broth and you can get a roasted chili added for a little kick and to me it's a great fusion dish and it doesn't take me long to finish the bowl. In the summer they have a cold ramen dish that is spicy with lots of baby scallops for a little sweetness and umami. They have tostadas with tuna and often have different sashimi available. Prices are a tad elevated but nothing crazy and I think it's well worth it for a Michelin recommended place.
I had some friends visit Ramen del Barrie way back when they first opened, and had heard a lot of not so great things. But since then, I've seen a lot of lists online ranking ramen del barrio in their top spots in Austin to eat. And they were awarded the Bib gourmand by Michelin and I figured it was time for me to finally try this spot out for myself! Located inside Hana World, there's plenty of parking and tables to eat at, so you just order at the counter, pick a seat, and they'll bring the food out to you. The servers were so friendly and I really appreciated the menu listing out what was recommended for first time visitors. So of course, I got the Carnitas tonkotsu! The broth was really delicious and flavorful without being too heavy or oily. And the carnitas were so tender and soft! I'm a big fan of fusion, so I thought the combination was a big hit! I wasn't the biggest fan of the noodles. They were good, but I prefer a thicker flatter noodle. I would also really recommend getting the salsa macha! It's kinda expensive, but they give you a lot! It's like a garlicky chili oil that's not too spicy, but adds more depth and flavor to your dish. Overall, it's not like this was my favorite place in the world, but I think it's a pretty solid spot! Would definitely want to go back to try the other menu options though.

I love fusion! Any Asian-Latinx combo is usually a win but this place so tasty! I went Sunday for dinner about an hour before closing. No line. No fuss. Tried the Mole Ramen dish and it was delicious! Bonus was the friendly service! read more

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
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

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

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
This place has long been hyped up by the city and I finally made my way over to check it out for myself! Walked right in on a Saturday just before they opened at 11am and was the 2nd customer to order. We chose to sit at their bar top and the food comes out as it's ready. Overall, I enjoyed the fusion flavors and idea behind everything, but I wasn't entirely blown away. Especially for the price points and food-court style vibes. I'd give it a 3.5-4/5. QUICK FACTS: - Hours: Wednesday-Sunday, 11am-3pm and 4pm-7pm (closed Mondays and Tuesdays) - Located in Hana World Market to the right as you walk in; food court style seating - Items are first-come, first-served, and they may sell out FOOD RATINGS: - Carnitas tonkotsu ramen (4/5): The #1 ramen on their menu and recommended for first timers. Probably the best thing we ordered. Broth was flavorful but nothing extraordinary. Noodles are good. I wish there were more toppings. Egg is an extra $1 and you can add spice bombs. - Menudo ramen (3/5): Good broth flavor and fun fusion if you enjoy menudo. - Toro (tuna) tostada (4/5): I looove toro. This was pretty good, but pricy (almost the price of 2 tacos). Flavor was good, especially the spice. A little salty. - Pork belly taco (3/5): I'll preface by saying both of the tacos were nothing special to us. Especially for the price ($7 ea.), which was steep. The tortilla and salsas are good. The meats were okay, a little overcooked/chewy. The pork had better flavor with the pineapple balancing it with some sweetness. - Lengua taco (2/5): A little too charred and chewy. 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
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
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
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

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

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
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

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

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

The ramen here is amazing! The flavor is 10/10 and all of the toppings pair so well with the noodles and broth. The carnitas were the best part! Service was great too, but be prepared to wait a little. It shouldn't be a problem though because the food is worth it! 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

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

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
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

Menudo Ramen is awesome. The flavor profile is off the charts! This is the only thing I have had there and that's what my ratings based on. But for me to go out of my way 1.5 hours round trip to eat it. Def worth it. 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. Hoping the new location will not have seating so close to the main line, I felt like the customers waiting were right on top of me. read more

I shop at Hana often and decided to finally dine in the food court. I ordered the carnitas tonkotsu ramen and added menma. Service was friendly and I was told the wait would be about 15 minutes. I used that time to shop and came back to sit at the counter. Shortly after my ramen was ready. It is definitely flavorful and could use some extra spice but I firstly wanted to try it as it was. I would visit again to try the pork belly tacos. Cool fusion of Mexican and Asian flavors. They are onto something! read more
I got the hamachi tostada so good! The chicharrones were deep fried pork belly pieces. Chewy but delicious. The chicken karage were actually too sweet and doughy for me. I ordered a side of rice from the Korean place next door since they didn't have rice here. read more

Ramen Del Barrio is a hidden gem inside Hana world market where Japanese warmth meets Mexican zest. This hole-in-the-wall spot brilliantly marries ramen with bold Mexican flavors, creating dishes that are both comforting and exciting. Picture rich ramen broth infused with smoky Mexican spices, topped with fresh avocado and crispy tortilla strips--a true flavor fiesta! My favorite dish was the carnitas tonktosu!! The vibe here remains warm and unpretentious.Don't be fooled by its humble exterior; this place is a culinary adventure that's an absolute must-visit in Austin! 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

I rarely leave comments or ratings. This place is amazing. My buddy and I went for lunch yesterday and had Omar's special of the day which was the pozole verde ramen. Omar was running front and taking order after order and wasn't fazed at all. We sat at the bar and watched the kitchen work like a machine. They even bothered to learn our names. Will I be coming back? Yes. Will I tell everyone about this place? Also yes. Should you come here? If you want to feel good, then yes. The establishment is in a food court type of place with at least 2 other restaurants or vendors but the majority come to get their ramen. There is music and more than enough seating for guests. Pretty great experience all around. read more
All foods had intense flavors! Extremely nicely done. They ran out of Birria Ramen which is why we went and why they received 4 stars instead of five. Service was meh. They're a part of the grocery store area where the eateries are located. This ain't no fine dining so turn down your expectations on service lol. Ambiance is what you would imagine for a food court in a grocery store. I would definitely go back! read more
Located inside of Hana World Market. Plenty of parking out front. Service is fast and ramen comes out promptly. I was excited to try a Mexican fusion ramen. The carnitas is super tender and fall apart and the broth is a bit different than regular shoyu ramen and forward with onion and lime. It's not too salty and pretty balanced. I liked it for the novelty, but I think I prefer my ramen a little less onion-y. read more
