    Stopped by for some ramen and dumpling after a day at the pool. Good location with nice parking lot. Clean and well organized place with nice & friendly staff. Foods are good as usual just abit slow on turnaround, especially if the place is packed. Enjoys our foods here as alway.

    OG Ramen

    Ramen Tatsu-Ya is perfect during a cold, winter day-- actually any day of the year is a great day for ramen. The OG ramen with its rich, fatty broth, slurpy noodles, and tender chasu pork warmed my belly and my soul! Order at the front right as you walk in, grab your assigned number and seat yourself. The food comes out quickly and hot.

    Man! we made a pit stop in Austin and my kids wanted pho well some boutique nearby recommended this place to us and we decided to stop as a family and try it, why not? It was so good! The service was great really nice as you order when you walk in and then sit down wherever and they bring food to you. My fav was the edamame but I've been on an edamame kick lately . Anyone looking nearby this is a good stop to try out.

    Chicken Karaage & Chili Oil Gyoza

    A nice rainy, cold weather is perfect for Ramen Tatsu-Ya! The only thing about this location is that parking is terrible when it's busy. They have a couple of paid parking across by Postino's if needed or behind they have street parking too. Can't ever go wrong with the karaage 10/10. It was my first time trying their chili oil gyoza, I just wish they gave more dumplings in the order and less of the toppings. 9/10 I love the MI-SO-HOT (10/10) nice and spicy, but not super spicy just like a nice hint of it. The MI-SO-NOT is a good original flavor if you want to get a good pork bone broth flavor. Overall great place, when it's busy the food does take a while but staff is very friendly they're doing their best!

    D E L I S H! You cannot go wrong with Ramen Tatsu-Ya. It feels pretty pricey honestly but you get so much food and it tastes soooo good!! I added a butter bomb which was the perfect touch for the Mi So Not. Service is walk-up and order at the bar, with water you grab from a jug. Everyone was dressed pretty casual on a weeknight so it had a lowkey vibe for sure. So good and I cannot wait to go back!

    Most tender chashu I have ever ate. The broth was amazing. Noodles had good texture. Overall 10/10. Atmosphere was great and workers were too.

    Walked in and was greeted with a friendly welcome from the staff. Plenty of seating. You go up to place your order and pay. The food came out so fast - probably within 5 minutes! I will say that although there was plenty of food, I wish there was more broth. The broth was pretty low in proportion to the content inside. However, I've heard that's not typical of them from my friend who was with me and has been before. The ramen was satisfying for a quick ramen craving! Would return if I'm craving ramen and am in the area.

    Came here for lunch and ordered the tonkotsu ramen with the spicy paste. The paste wasn't super spicy but did add a nice kick to the broth. The chashu was very flavorful and tender! I also really liked the soft boiled egg - creamy yolk and well marinated. The broth was super creamy but the flavor was slightly bland in my opinion and getting the spicy paste helped a lot.

    Ramen Tatsu-ya is one of my go-to spots for ramen in Austin every winter! The vegan curry ramen is a creamy with the perfect combination of spices and toppings of vegetables and tofu. I do miss the crispy brussel sprouts that were included by default a few years ago but are now an add-on option for extra $2. You order at the counter and service is fairly quick. The parking lot at this location is small and fills up quickly but additional street parking can be found behind the restaurant.

    Line and entrance to both Ramen and Tiki Tatsuya right around the corner
    Ang F.

    Pro Tip: Be prepared to wait in line, but not to worry, it does move quickly. The service is certainly efficient and very kind. It's order before sitting. While there is a line for both sit-down and take-out, you have ample time to review the menu before making your order. Fun environment, targeting to younger crowds. Ramen is different, and a mix between typical and its' own style. Most options are Tonkotsu. Flavors were just, okay, in my opinion. Certainly satisfying, if you're looking for something quick and are craving Ramen.

    10 out of 10!!!! Came here for a Saturday date night with the most beautiful woman in the world!!! We both had the Curry Nu Skool bowl with a side Karrage. I added a spicy bomb to mine. It was fantastic. The broth, the veggies, the tofu, all amazing. The service was awesome. We were greeted upon entry and given ordering instructions. The seating is open. You can sit inside our outside at your choosing. Definitely check them out!!

    Don't know why but I was craving ramen on a hot Austin day. Haven't had ramen since moving here and heard about this place. Came in and there was quite a line. You order first and sit down and they bring your food. I got the OG with tonkatsu broth and extra Chashu and bamboo shoots. Gf got the spicy miso and we got karaage and gyoza as well. Food came quickly! Karaage was super juicy and flavorful with the sauce and Gyoza was nice and crispy: The ramen was amazing! It wasn't hot inside so it was nice having a warm filling soup. The broth was so flavorful and the pork was soft and delicious. The spicy miso wasn't too spicy and just the right amount of kick. Awesome experience and can't wait to come back.

    Gyoza
    Jailyn J.

    I had the #1 (with a spice bomb) and the Gyoza (steamed). Overall it was tasty, flavorful, and the perfect amount of heat! The pork was very well done (one of the best I've had in a while). The only issue I really have is I wish they had a little more ingredients in the bowl-- the ratio of broth to ingredients could be a little better. This was my first time and the staff was pretty friendly with helping me decide. It's a chill aesthetic and simultaneously very fast-paced. The time spent from ordering my food to walking out the door was 25 minutes... speedy! They were "on it" in terms of getting the food out quickly, since it's a pretty popular place, but them running around so much can be a little stressful to dine in and observe Overall though, it's worth the visit and tasty food!

    Top of pic is the OG ramen with extra egg, so good.

    Ask the Community - Ramen Tatsu-Ya

    I can eat pork I just prefer not to. Wanting to try the miso hot but are they able to replace the ground pork with tofu?

    Unfortunately, the Mi-So-Hot is made with the tonkotsu (pork) broth. The Ol' Skool with no egg and tofu instead of chashu is pork-free, as well as our two vegan bowls - Nu Skool and Curry Nu Skool.

    Tsukemen is gone?

    For it seems like a temporary issue. I was under the impression the batch had to be completely remade, but thats just what i saw on the austin subreddit so who knows what might be the true answer here.

    How is parking at this location?

    Tight, and the parking area is narrow. It is enter only from Lamar, but people sometimes ignore this, making it tighter as they exit through the entrance. And people picking up orders doesn't help matters. Worth it to eat there, but it isn't… 

    Did the noodles change? Just ordered today and the noodles are different than I remember. I liked the other ones better.

    Sure as heck seemed like the same noodles to me!

    Do they do to go orders?

    Nope. You can bring home some leftovers tho.

    Do they have any sort of happy hour?

    2-6 pm $2 House Sake | $3 Specialty Drinks | $3.5 sapporo

    Is this ramen with rice noodles or wheat? I was wanting to see if it was gluten free in the noodles. Thank you!

    It appears only one menu item is gluten free (a broth) but the staff is really knowledgeable about the menu and can answer questions about specific ingredients

    Do they have gluten-free ramen noodles or alternative?

    Yes. I got soup without noodles

    What is the lunch wait time approximately at 12pm?

    Approximately 30-45 minutes. Each group outside will move inside every 5-7 minutes by my estimate. Once you're seated you're food arrives pretty quickly

    Is it really loud during dinner?

    It tends to be loud but not so loud that it would affect a conversation with friends. I would not take a work date/appointment there for dinner.

    Does the brown butter corn have dairy, if not what is the brown butter?

    Brown butter is butter that has been cooked down a bit giving it a browned, nutty flavor.

    Is it open during the boil notice? I mean you can boil water to make ramen anyways

    It was open! The only thing that was different, is if you wanted water you have to buy a $1.50 Ozarka water bottle.

    Is this place pretty busy on Friday nights?

    It's worth the wait. Line moves pretty fast.

    Are there any options for Gluten Free Ramen?

    I don't believe they do, they have a gluten free option as a rice bowl

    Several review says you order, pay, sit and have the food brought to you? What do you do when you need to order extra food or drinks? Do you have to wait in line again? Or are there servers to take your orders? If so then how do you pay

    If you'd like to place an additional order please let one of the servers know, they will get that into the system for you and from there they'll process your payment.

    Are there small bowls available for kids?

    Yes! They have small, more plan bowls for kids! they are really good!!!

    Do they use MSG in their food?

    We do not use MSG in our food.

    Does anyone know if their noodles are gluten free and their broth dairy free? My friend can have gluten and I can't have dairy. Tried calling the number provided but it's just automated.

    Hi Kassandra! All our broths are dairy-free, but unfortunately our noodles are all wheat-based. Our only item with dairy is the Gotcha Matcha, which is on the dessert menu.… 

    Do you have a vegan broth?

    Yes.

    How spicy is the Mi-So-Hot?

    Not terribly hot.

Decent bowl of ramen that has its moments, but never wows you with anything worth raving over and to keep you coming back in again. Broth is very good, but not amazing. Just ok and I'd prefer other ramen top spots in Austin easily. If you're looking for a decent bowl in the area, great pickup. If you're looking for a top notch, stellar cuisine experience, look elsewhere.

The Robot Ramen was light, yet rich, the meat was succulent (and not too thin, at the risk of being dry) and the noodles were al dente--both were cooked nicely. Lastly, the Pork Chashu Fried Rice was a burst of umami flavor, from the shoyu glazed pork rib to the shiitake mushroom lying underneath. Solid dish--no notes! Service: No complaints!

The way they presented the sauces made it slightly hard to dip your roll in it, but would still order again. My friends loved the transformer roll. Yuka-tekkan was a let down for me, just not very flavorful. Overall, would definitely come back for some rolls and the happy hour! There is better sushi on s congress but I still think this is a solid choice. Inside has really cool decor and would be a good place to bring someone to impress a date.

    Apr 8, 2026 review:…read more I've been at Nori two times in person and recently tried their to-go order. We got one Austin roll ($22), volcano roll ($15), creamy spicy tan tan ramen ($20), teriyaki sesame tofu yakisoba ($20). I have had their sushi and yakisoba but tried their ramen for first time. I was impressed with their packaging. As you can see in picture, veggies and noodles box was on top and soup at bottom. The only thing I didn't like how noodles became very sticky because of how tight they were packed. So I got it as cold (because I live 30 mins away) and sticky. Ramen came with all the veggies like grilled Chinese broccoli, tofu, sweet corn, marinated shiitake mushrooms, red onions and negi. Yakisoba noodles had the Stir-fried noodles tossed with cabbage, scallion, carrot, marinated shiitake mushrooms, and fragrant negi in a savory house sauce. It was good if you like this type of noodles. Austin roll had Smoked tempeh, tempura tofu, jalapeño, pickles. And on the to Avocado, roasted garlic oil, tempura flakes, smoked paprika, teriyaki. Volcano roll was a deep fried roll which had spinach, avocado, sweet potato. On top: spicy mayo, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, Caviart and tempura onion. I would say this is the best vegetarian sushi place I've found in Austin. So if you're in search, this wouldn't disappoint you.

However, avoid the curry and katsu. My katsu can only be described as overdone. The breading tasted nearly burnt dry and banding in the meat (see my photo) shows how it was separating from being cooked too long. The curry is as disappointing as their sister restaurant. It's weak enough that I'd venture I could produce a better curry in bulk. Their menu also changes between lunch and dinner so it's possible other non sushi options are better. So do come here and enjoy the sushi, but don't venture into the other menu items. They'd really shine by focusing on a core menu with less accompanying dishes.
