I've been a fan of Ramen Tatsuya since when takeout wasn't even an option. YEP, that's wild, but that was a thing!! That said, I have to admit it's not quite as memorable as it used to be. The broth is still rich and thick the way that I like it, but it could use more of a kick or depth of flavor (and yes, I know there are spice bombs, but shouldn't that be part of the dish without having to pay extra)??? Two recent experiences really left a sour taste: 1) I recently ordered via DoorDash with very specific instructions and add-ons. When my order arrived, none of my requests were honored (remove the mushrooms & add an extra egg), and my appetizer was missing entirely. 2) I was waiting for my partner to arrive and asked if I could start with appetizers. They told me they would be unable to do so and that they couldn't give me a table. There were literally only five parties of two in the restaurant--hard to understand why they couldn't spare 8 minutes for a party of one??? read more

Ramen Tatsu-Ya - Is the special order in the room??? - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

This a favorite Ramen place in all of Austin and this has multiple locations. However, we tried out from Congress Ave for the first time and it didn't disappoint at all. We did a pickup of four different ramen bowls and I chose the vegetarian one. Super filling and the quality remains the same. Will definitely visit again read more

Ramen Tatsu-Ya - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

Always a 10/10 experience here. My favorite ramen. Have yet to try a place that tops the flavor that is given. The edamame is always cooked well and is given such a huge portion. Gyoza is so good. Ramen is amazing. I always get the OG with a side of the spicy bomb and I just add in as much as I want. The staff is friendly and it's usually always busy at this location but I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes for a table. The seating could be better IMO but I think it's just their vibe. read more

I used to highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend ramen tatsuya but I wouldn't put it as my top ramen shop anymore. Granted, a lot has changed since I was at a ramen tatsuya. Coming from out of town, I still remembered my very first time at the original location. This time, I asked to stop by since we were in Austin and I knew the menu had changed since I was here but I'm not surprised. I got the ol skool and added corn and a spice bomb. I tried it without the spice bomb and loved it but added the spice thinking I'd love it even more (since I love spicy food) but surprisingly I didn't... I felt I couldn't taste the flavourful broth anymore and all I could taste were the peppers. Another thing was, a bunch of white onions. I was not thrilled about the huge portion of it. I don't mind onions but felt it was way too much in mine. The chasu was kind of thin but still good. Nori sheet was small. Maybe someone else might love a huge dose of white onions in their ramen but not me. The OG ramen had thinner noodles than the ol skool but flavor of the broth was good. My bf had this and he felt it was too much negi. He also felt the chasu was good but wish there was more of it since it only gave one. We may order extra next time. We did order the chili oil gyoza and I think we both agree this was the best thing we had there. Gyoza was cooked perfectly with a nice zest to it! It wasn't even too spicy! Highly recommend. $7 only All in all I think it's still a good ramen place to stop by but I think I wouldn't put it as my number one ramen stop anymore. Would have to remember to just get the ol skool without the spice bomb, and order additional chasu, light white onions read more

Ramen Tatsyu Ya is a gem! I tried their OG ramen and it did not disappoint. The service was super fast, you order at the counter, and even though they were busy, my food came out quickly. The noodles were perfectly al dente, the broth was balanced (not too salty or greasy), and the chashu literally melted in my mouth. All of this at an affordable price,definitely worth a visit! read more

Ramen Tatsu-Ya - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was in the mood for ramen and decided to pick up a to go order from Ramen Tatsu-Ya on the way home. Ramen Tatsu-ya is the long-awaited collaboration between local chefs/DJs, Tatsu Aikawa and Takuya Matsumoto. I tried to order in the app, but with 30 minutes before closing the Toast Tab app was not accepting any to go orders for the evening. So I called the restaurant to place a to go order on the phone and was informed that I could only order online or when I arrived at the store but I had plenty of time as long as I arrived in the next 20 minutes. When I arrived at the store, I placed a to go order at the counter. There is a small service charge when you place a to go order versus eating at the restaurant. My food was prepared within 10 minutes and it was packed securely. The food was still warm when I arrived home. I ordered the Ol School which is hicken shoyu broth, chashu pork, ajitama egg, menma, scallion, white onion, nori, pepper. I love that the noodles are hand made and not ramen from a package. The broth is rich and the noodles and toppings were plentiful. The broth is packed separate from the noodles and toppings so things do not get soggy. When I combined everything in the bowl, the ramen tastes just like when you eat it at the restaurant. You can tell a lot of effort goes into making the noodles fresh and creating the flavors in the broth. This is my go to place for ramen. read more

How has it taken me this long to try ramen tatsuya?! We visited on a weeknight and it was fairly busy. We were able to walk right up to the counter and order and they gave us a table number. The food came out in good time. The broth was so tasty! It was rich, but not too rich where it would be overwhelming. The ingredients seems fresh and I devoured it. I recommend the mi-so-not as pictured here. We also ordered the hot sake, which is served in an individual sized carafe. read more

How in the warm belly goodness have I lived without this place? The menu is extensive and could be confusing and overwhelming if you're not a Ramen- Master, but fear not! The guy at the register (Mike) holds a DOCTORATE in making your Ramen everything you want it to be! He helped us add to our bowls, suggested the ginger salad ( to die for!) and came on checked on us. Mike even gave us a slurpin it up right tutorial! So kind, so helpful, so knowledgeable and so fun! He made a delicious meal feel extra special with the care and service he offered!! read more

Chicken karaage is delicious! I thought the OG was alright. The meat and egg are great, but the ramen doesn't fill me up. The flavor of the broth doesn't wow me. I like the decorations here, both inside and outside! The unisex restrooms have cartoons on the walls-so cute! They have a parking lot outside. You have to walk around the building to find the entrance. read more

Finally got to try this spot out and definitely will be back! I got the Mi-So-Hot and it was really good! I didn't love the protein (pork) only because it was like ground meat, I would have preferred bigger pieces of meat. But absolutely delish nonetheless. My husband got Sho-Yu which was also good but mine had more flavor, in my opinion. We also both added a bomb to our ramen - we got the Yuzu Kosho Bomb which is Japanese citrus, Serrano, jalapeno and garlic. It's a little dish filled with this sauce type stuff and you dump it in. So freaking good! Lots of different bombs to try. No kids menu really so my daughter got the Gyoza, very very good and she got the Cashu Rice Bowl which is pork belly, scallion, rice and ginger. Also very good!! Yummy sake to wash it all down. We'll for sure be back! read more

Ramen Tatsu-Ya is everything I hoped it would be--and more! This was one of the first places recommended to me when I moved to Austin, but somehow it took me four years to finally try it. Let me just say, it was absolutely worth the wait. I ordered the Miso Not because I was worried the Mi-So-Hot might be too spicy for me. However, we got the Hot Bomb on the side, which turned out to be the perfect solution--it added just the right amount of heat, and splitting it with someone made it easy to customize the spice level without going overboard. I also added a Corn Bomb, and it was such a good decision! The creamy sweetness it brought to the broth balanced everything out beautifully. The ramen itself was incredible. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the toppings were fresh and high-quality. Every bite was packed with flavor, and the ability to tweak the spice and creaminess with the bombs made it even better. I can see why this spot is so highly recommended--it truly lives up to the hype. Whether you're a long-time ramen fan or just looking for a comforting meal, this place does not disappoint. I'll definitely be back, and I'm already planning what to try next! read more

Excellent quick service ramen chain. The broth is super flavorful and the toppings are good quality. The spicy bomb was not too spicy and a lovely addition to any of the ramen. We tried the croquet and the beef slider and they were very flavorful and oily and everything you want in a quick street food-style snack. I could eat the ajitama eggs with every meal. read more

Service & staff - 5 stars!! Ambiance - 5 stars Drinks - 5 stars Ramen - 3 stars for mine & 4 stars for my boyfriend's I had the Guava Margarita (sake marg) and it was deliciousssss. Very refreshing! I also had the Miso-Not Ramen and the broth was really smoky which was different! I initially liked how unique it was but after the first few bites, I didn't like it anymore. Just too much for me personally. And I didn't like the texture of the noodles. I had previously saw someone leave a comment that they had gluten free noodles but come to find out, they no longer carry them. (FYI - can sub noodles for rice) My boyfriend got the OG Ramen with the fire bomb and loved it - however, he also didn't like the texture of the noodles. read more

Stopped here while on my way to work. They have a pretty heart menu! I ordered their Curry Ramen which was very very tasty. Traditional Japanese curry flavoring, spices with black pepper!

You could see Godzilla, rock bands ect. The music was fire! I chilled here for like an hour cas of the vibez! read more

Had heard good things about Ramen Tatsu-Ya from several friends but my aversion to Ramen kept me from going... until this trip. My experience in the past with ramen is "broke college kid can only afford 11 for $1 squares of noodles" and I really, really disliked them... I was a 99 cent Totinos Pizza guy. Anyhow... this ain't my college ramen... price wise or taste wise... or ambience wise. It really flipped my whole understanding of ramen on its ear.... And returned it to its rightful place as a delicious meal. I admit I didn't know what wanted so I asked the server at the counter and she asked if I liked a little heat... then suggested the #4 - MI-SO-HOT (Tonkotsu). It. Was. Delicious. The broth was the perfect amount of flavor and heat. Just enough for my nose to start running a little but not enough to have to chug water. The pork was found pork, which I'm not a great fan of that consistency, but the flavor was good. The funky ajitama egg was a new thing for me but I quite enjoyed the velvety texture and flavor. I ate until full then had enough for lunch the next day (sadly I forgot the leftovers on the table and didn't realize it until I got back to work). It was a little bit more than I wanted to spend on lunch... about $15... but I also understand that it's worth it and not a bad price for the location and experience. I won't be a regular (just based on my finances) but I will certainly be back. read more

We came here without a reservation a little after 3pm this afternoon and were not only seated immediately, but they brought our food out in probably less than 5-7 minutes too. Hard to beat that in terms of speedy service! Cooper also walked around after we got our food to fill up our waters as well, and was a friendly guy. As for the food, it was delicious! Edamame was 5/5 and the ramen was good too. Now that it is November ramen hits the spot as the weather gets colder outside. We will be back at some point for sure! read more

I've been a regular at this ramen shop for a while and have always enjoyed the food and the overall experience, but yesterday was disappointing. After standing outside at an event in 39-degree weather, I came in hoping to warm up and sit at a table, something I've always been able to do. A server wiped the table but left visible food spills, so I politely asked another passing server if he could clean it. Instead of helping, he began questioning whether I was "really" dining in and whether I had already paid. I explained that my friend was about to pay, and he still insisted I leave the table, saying tables were assigned, even though there were plenty of open seats and I had never encountered this policy in all my visits. The interaction made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. As a recurring customer, it was disappointing to be treated this way. I hope management looks into this, because the food is great, but customer experience matters just as much. read more

Great first visit to Ramen Tatsu-Ya! We arrived around 6pm on a Tuesday evening, and there was plenty of seating available inside (as well as a big table outside for nicer weather). The staff was incredibly friendly. The speed of service can't be best, as our food arrived in minutes. We tried a lot, and we'd definitely come back for more! Most of the appetizers and desserts range $5-7, and I think I'd order each of them again (see photos for Karaage, Gyoza, Edamame, and ice cream sandwich). Only thing I'd ask for next time is an option of any additional dipping sauces they recommend for the edamame. The OG ramen ($13) was delicious and plenty to share. They brought an extra bowl in case you'd like to do so, if ordering several apps to go around. Wife got a side corn bomb and said it sweetened up her ramen too! Look forward to visiting again soon! read more

I got the ol' skool and my friend got the nu skool. We were happy to see they had vegan options for my friend, and they were great about making changes. The pork in the ol skool was so amazing and truly dissolved in my mouth. The service was quick, but I can't attest to how it is during peak hours. We went at 4:30 on a Friday and had no wait! The restaurant itself is so cool (the "wallpaper" in the bathroom is a bunch of stickers!). I will say paying $17 for a single bowl of ramen was pretty crazy, but it was delicious. read more

Yum. The food is Yum! We each had our own flavor of ramen. There was something for each of us. We all enjoyed the Edamame as an appetizer. I had never had Brussels sprouts in my ramen until here - now I have it often when I make it at home! The entire family enjoyed the meal - kids to adults. I'd come back here for sure. It seems like I'd need a few trips to understand the flow. We came in and were told a few times that we were doing it wrong. So, you order at the counter, but you have to be seated by the staff. They weren't rude, but it was getting frustrating. We ordered, they rang us up early - before everyone in the party ordered. So we had to do two transactions. Then we sat down and we needed to get up because we weren't seated by the host. We got up, and were seated at the table next to the one we picked out (same size table, next party was seated where we sat) . It has a young vibe with people in good friendly conversations. Next time I'd go, I'd have the process better known. And, eventually I'd get it figured out. But, it shouldn't be confusing to eat at a restaurant. read more

Loving The Crawman it's awesome!!!!!! I wish it was on the menu year around. Since it's seasonal, it's on my to-do list twice a week.

I've been avoiding going to this Ramen Tatsu-Ya after a bad experience (or 2) at another location. Well I finally went and did a lunch dine-in on a Sunday right when they opened and it was actually wonderful. The inside: I know this location is newer and it's charming. I have seen incredibly long lines here, so wouldn't recommend going unless you go right at opening if you want to sit down. Arrived at 11:05am (after they opened at 11) and there was no line, just walked up to the counter to order. The food: food came out pretty darn fast (well, the ramen did, the gyoza took longer). Now, I will only order the OG ramen because I did NOT like another kind I tried in the past. However, this time dining in, the OG was quite good. Got the scallions on the side so it wasn't just scallion soup. Meat was good, egg was good, broth was good. I do not like getting carry out from Tatsu-ya since it's not the same experience. However I'm happy to say I would dine in at this location again read more

Best ramen in the area! Service was attentive and appreciated. This place gets really busy so get there early.

A bit of a let down for a place that promises so much. I got the fried chicken. I would have hoped it had some sort of a twist with Asian flavor but it tasted no different that any American fried chicken. I got the spiciest bomb in my ramen and I barely broke a sweat. Don't claim high heat/hotness if it's American spice. On the good side, the ramen was tasty and I drank it dry. I wouldn't give this place more than a solid 3. I've been to way better ramen joints. read more
