Fantastic Miso Hot Ramen !!!
Michael C.

I went here for the first time last night ordering their supposed most popular bowl being their Miso Hot Ramen. I can see why and I really enjoyed it. Ramen is a real hit or miss in Houston and of course opinions vary. It was very interesting with a rich, buttery, oily base to it. The noodles were soft and tender and the ground meat wasn't too greasy or mushy. The corn, green onions, cabbage and egg were all great in adding more to the game. Overall, I would say it was very delicious, comforting and well-made. The service was fast, efficient and friendly. I plan to also try the curry vegan and original tonk. ramen orders in the future.

This place was yummy . I got the spicy ramen and its was 9/10 ! The ambiance was great and intimate. Service was great as well. The only thing is it was extremely hot and for someone eating spicy ramen lol it's uncomfortable turn air on please

P filling. Really nice service and people tbh. All staff NICE. Ambiance sweet, asian style. Had nu skool added karaage fried chicken cause non pork options limited (I eat pork but wasn't feeling like it (I'm yapping cause apparently I need to sry)). Not the BEST ramen I had, but not bad at all

Absolutely love this place and can't wait to go back. The staff was so helpful and patient and everything we ordered was tasty and really hit the spot. Love the vibe and set up of this location.

Service is fine I just feel that it is more of a self serve type of place mostly. You order at the front and then take a seat with your number sign. They bring you the food and if you want water you just grab it yourself at the water station. Atmosphere is interesting there's a few booths but the seating in the middle is like a communal table where you can sit near random people. I tried the ol skool with chicken and the chicken was so tender. The flavors of the broth really balanced out with the chicken and egg. The umami flavors were quite different than other ramen places I've tried. I feel like the flavor is more of a soy sauce based and the right amount of saltiness. I also tried their gyoza which was quite unique in that they dress it up with soy sauce, scallions, and chili. It tasted decent even though it was dressed in flavors it wasn't too strong.

We had take out and I was really impressed. The broth was flavorful toppings delicious. As with most ramen places I hate the ridiculous up charges if you want to modify so we didn't but I would have liked a little more diversity. We did try the Yuzo Kosho Bomb which was tasty on its own but got lost in the ramen. I'm not sure I would have noticed it if it was premixed in. We were supposed to get the Korokkaaaayyy but instead they gave us the Gyoza. Not the worst mistake because they were really tasty as well as the sauce. I really wanted to try the correct item, but luckily I want to go back and maybe I'll have better luck. Do not skip the brussel sprouts. I thought they were absolutely wonderful, I'd go back for those along. Not your cheapest ramen experience overall but I was very happy with what we got.

Chili Oil Gyoza

Ramen Tatsu-ya is tucked off of westheimer road with a dedicated free parking lot. You order at the counter and they will bring your food to your table. It is open seating, and I like the large wooden booths. These booths have outlets so I can charge my laptop and work if needed. They have a nice variety of ramens. I have tried both the Shoyu and Miso broths. They are great flavor profiles and you can't go wrong with either. I love the char on their chatsu. You must do an egg- it also has amazing flavor and is cooked perfectly. I also tried the chili oil gyoza, which are refreshing and not too spicy. I think a Kiran draft beer pairs perfectly with a bowl of ramen. I can easily spend 35+ dollars here, which isn't my favorite. Regardless, I'll definitely be back on another colder Houston day.

It's good as how it looks! The ramen were super filling and were super yummy! The place is such a cute spot for dates.

I was so excited when I saw this place open, because it's my favorite ramen restaurant in Austin!! I got the misohot and the og. The ramen is good but not as good as the ones from Austin. I think the flavor is a bit lacking especially in the meat. Other than food, the place is very clean and spacious. And the service is pretty good, food comes out pretty quickly too.

#4 MI-SO-HOT (Tonkotsu)
Vivian H.

This spot in Montrose is beautifully decorated, inviting and stylish, and exactly the kind of place you want to sit down for a comforting bowl of ramen. The area is great, and the ambiance definitely sets the mood for a good meal. My husband ordered the #6 OL SKOOL assari, and the broth had a really nice smoky flavor. The noodles were solid, and the one piece of chashu he did get was delicious... just one. For a ramen bowl, that felt a little too minimal. There were also a lot of scallions (more than needed) which started to overpower the bowl. I ordered the #4 MI-SO-HOT tonkotsu, and the broth was creamy, spicy, and super flavorful. The noodles were thinner but still very good. My only issue was the pork. The menu lists "goma pork," which sounds like a sesame‑marinated pork topping. Instead, it turned out to be ground pork, and the bowl leaned greasy because of it. The menu does explain this in the toppings section, but not clearly in the ramen description itself, so it feels a bit misleading if you're expecting sliced or shredded pork like most tonkotsu or miso bowls. Overall, both broths were genuinely tasty and well‑seasoned. But if you're expecting a more meaty ramen experience, this might not be the place. It's not even about wanting a ton of meat, just that the portions were small, and in my case, the protein wasn't what the name suggested. Great flavors, beautiful space, but the protein descriptions could be clearer and more generous.

Food was DELICIOUS the tonkatsu broth is so goooood!!! Service was kind and helpful and has a lovely atmosphere! I would visit here again .

First time back in over two years and this place hasn't changed - good vibes and decent ramen. Service was solid too. I got the OG with a spicy bomb and was maybe slightly above average. Overall I would recommend this place! Cons: Parking in the area is crazy and the restaurant's AC was struggling in this heat.

My boyfriend and I are on a big ramen kick right now, and we were Montrose, and decided to try this place out! We came around 6pm on a chilly Saturday night and there was already somewhat of a line, but by 7pm the line was out the door. We both got the OG ramen, but I got the chili spice bomb and he got one with yuzu. We liked both, but we preferred the chili spice bomb, as the yuzu had a little too much garlic for our taste. We also got the chili oil gyzoka app and another one as well, they were both so yum. The broth, pork, and egg were all very flavorful. We are honoring Dry January and there were many drink options for us to choose from. The staff were attentive and helpful to me in my first visit here. We very much enjoyed our meal!

Do you guys have tsukemen today?

Tsukemen is available starting 5/8/23 for dine-in guests.

Sorry me again! Can anyone confirm that ramen tatsuya has tsukumen tonight? I've been craving it for awhile and it's out of stock for online order and has been for several weeks. Also does anyone know if you can order takeout in person?

We do not have tsukemen today (11/14). The online menu reflects actually availability so you can keep checking there. You are always welcome to place a takeout order in person during business hours, even if online ordering is not available.

Does anyone know what is happening with Ramen Tatsuya? Have they closed? The number is not working and I am trying to reach them to inquire when they will have more Tsukumen ramen for take-out as it is currently out of stock. Thank you!

They have not closed! As for the number, not sure why it isn't working but I was also having issues before with their number when attempting to call and ask for seating and wait times. Every time I show up (generally towards the night time) they… 

Still take out only or is open for dine in?

Open for dine in!

Can this restaurant accommodatefor a groupof 10?

YES!

Does they have vegan mazemen at this location?

According to their menu, they have a vegetarian ramen dish, but no vegan.

Do they have any gluten free options?

I have attempted to order gluten free, but they do not offer gluten free noodles.

Is what on the menu what you get like there's no other options or changes can be made?

The menu that they have is what they serve yes but you can request changes of course...but what exactly are you looking for so you can get an exact answer

Is there a separate menu for lunch and dinner?

Do they offer chicken in substitution for pork?

There are no substitutions, but the old school ramen #6 does have chicken broth instead of pork.

How long is the line typically around 11-11:30?

All had really great flavors but my personal favorite was the tantan noodles which came with poached egg, sauce, and garnishes that you got to mix into the noodles. Super creamy and nutty! I really loved the vibe of the restaurant too, it's small but has a homey vibe that would be great for either a small group hangout or a date. There's a lot of bars to visit nearby too. Our server was also so sweet and brought us a baggie of Japanese candies & sweets after our dinner since it was Valentine's Day. Only complaint was parking. Very small lot and very packed! Get there a bit before your reservation to figure out parking.

The decor was nice and was a great place for a date. We got the calamari, salmon ochizuke, bibimbap, and bulgogi roll. It was definitely way too much food. The calamari was super good, nice and crispy and flavorful and came with a slightly spicy sauce. The salmon sushi was a star. Torched with a great smoky flavor, we were told to probably just eat half the rice. Extremely rich but paired well with the light pickled wasabi. The bibimbap and bulgogi roll could not hold up to the first two, so we opted to take them to go. The bulgogi roll was an odd mix and didn't end up tasting as good as it sounded and the bibimbap was great but we were too full to really enjoy it. Overall, awesome restaurant with a really extensive menu. Will need to be back to try their other options!

The pepper tuna tataki and hamachili were fresh and flavorful. The karaage was crispy, tender and juicy, and the agedashi tofu had that perfect texture in a savory broth. All were sooo good. The Zen Mega Dragon roll, hamachi hamachi roll, and Extra Picante roll were all fresh and excellent. The only two dishes that didn't quite wow us were the hijiki and the Rock N Roll roll.

Savory, hot, and incredibly satisfying. Prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes, which makes it even better. There is free parking, but the lot is small. When it's busy, finding a spot can be a little tricky. We will definitely be back to explore more of the menu.
