A very average ramen spot. I dont think the serving size is enough, I'm never thst full. The wings were delicious though

Signature ramen- first item on the menu
Ellie N.

I'm not sure if I'll be back again. The broth was very heavy. My stomach didn't feel good after eating, and my husband felt the same way. The tempura was a bit soggy inside.

Nice ramen stop in Austin. I was over at the 99 Ranch Market picking up some grocery goods and needed a Ramen fix. There is a Korean Chicken place in the center that is worth a stop, I reviewed a while back. Anyway, today was Ramen day. I opted for the Chef special and it was good. Not quite like the Ramen in the Japanese centers of So. Cal but if you know what I am saying, you know. Not bad for Texas.

Handroll tasting
Quyen B.

Review for the Rollies handroll pop up. Dined twice. 4 rolls plus mini ramen bowl for $33. Can order extra rolls, additional cost. Overall great experience, loved the toasted nori. All rolls were good. Only issue I had was the taste of the chashu in the ramen. Broth and noodles were fine. Not sure if it was just me, I couldn't eat the chashu because of a weird kinda "old" pork taste. At the second visit, I opted for chicken ramen instead. My nephew got the chashu ramen. He also said something was off about the pork.

Never tried Sazan before, but came for their new summer pop-up: Rollies by Sazan! 4 hand rolls + a mini bowl of ramen for only $33 (+ tax/tip and any add-ons) was a steal. Only served at the bar, with limited seatings per night. They were testing out a new concept and are hoping to roll our hand roll options across the standard menu in the future. Overall, I really enjoyed the hand rolls. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the ramen itself, but all of the hand rolls were spot-on, generously portioned, and well thought out. It was a great deal and I would return for the concept! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in the popular 99 Ranch area with other Asian businesses. - Reservations? Yes, required for this specific experience offering. Can be booked via OpenTable, under select Experiences. FOOD RATINGS: - Bluefin tuna (5/5) - Ocean trout (5/5) - Hamachi (5/5) - Unagi (4/5) - Paitan ramen (2/5): Way too much arugula, which is bitter. The raw onion was also a no-go for me. The broth wasn't terrible, it just wasn't great. The chicken was dry, and the egg was standard. I wouldn't come here to order this. - Snow crab (5/5): Bonus hand roll for extra $. Worth it! And chef was kind enough to split it in half for us so we could both try it. Delicious, melt-in-your-mouth with the Dashi butter. - Hokkaido scallop (5/5): Another bonus hand roll for extra $. Love scallops and this one was a great bite!

Revisited after 2 years and it's still good! This place has better service, broth, and noodles than a lot of other popular ramen spots in Austin. The service here is great, super friendly staff that all seem to get along. They probably have the best vegan ramen option in town. The noodles are chewy and almost hard to tell apart from traditional style noodles. The paitan broth sets this place apart from others since it's hard to find a good creamy (like tantanmen) type ramen in Austin.

Signature Paitan
Elaine M.

We came here with friends and I do believe it is a testament to how good the broth and noodles were as all four of our bowls were empty at the end of the evening. This place is cozy. Our party had a long day vending at a local market and we came hungry and tired. We each ordered slightly different ramen. I got the signature paitan. TBH, I was a little surprised to find a little arugula salad atop my ramen when it came out BUT wow, the nutty taste of the arugula was a pleasant surprise to my palate! The noodles had a nice bite to them, the brothy broth was flavorful down to the last spoonful, not overpoweringly salty like most ramen shops. The pork- tender, fell apart with my chopsticks! Next time I will ask for no chopped onions in my bowl. Does need it at all! This is a must return the next time we are in this area.

Ultimate Tonkotsu
Mariel T.

Always a solid experience at Sazan. I recommend the date night special: any two drinks (including cocktails!), 1 app, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts for about $60. Soft serve this round was ube and it was everything I wanted and a little more only thing I didn't love was the waffle cone, but this isn't a specialty ice cream shop. Their tonkotsu is very flavorful, and the paitan is good too.

Signature Paitan
Jared D.

At first glance it's a very nice and modern looking restaurant with a full bar! We ordered the Signature Paitan w/ Classic Spicy and Super Spicy bombs. The super spicy was pretty spicy for those spicy lovers. We also got the ATX Tempura & Steamies, the concept of the tempura was neat that you could pull it apart and the steamies pretty good as well. Throughout our time there staff always check on us and we very kind

Cleaned chicken wings before frying = no tendons inbetween's one teeth
Lyly D.

I thought for sure this spot would get a Bib Gourmand nod from TX's Michelin wranglings. Its total game had gotten freaking tight. Amazing details like the cleanest butchered chicken wings that had perfectly seasoned dry rub and were über über über juicy that tasted like perfection every single time. Incredible servers like Lila who is the best of the best at service. Expos that kept a hawk eye on the kitchen, the food, the service, and the customer experience. Really tight ship for years. Ramen still yums, but last visit was out of step with its stellar consistency. Food prep was uneven--the glorious chicken wings were poorly butchered and just not good. Wings were dried out and meat tasted old. Edamame was overcooked. Food sitting at expo station when restaurant was empty. All of the staff seemed new except for seriously the most amazing server in the world, Lila. I even asked Lila if Sazan had changed owners bc it seemed so off. Sazan used to feel like the owners aimed for 100. It was so on point and genuinely excellent. I have uber compassion for restaurant staff, not advocating for employees to work harder here. This restaurant has been so excellent, and as a genuine fan, would love if the owners prioritized maintaining that over anything. Weird to appreciate a restaurant's excellence this much but on the verge of its loss at Saz...

Spicy Paitan
Ashley C.

an upscale attempt at ramen. i came here to try this place out since i heard from several people it was good...i was sadly disappointed. it is also on the pricier side. i tried the spicy paitan, the broth was the only good part. the pork chashu was sad, at first glance it looked plain but i was hoping it would be in turn very tender. nothing special. the egg was weirdly sweet. for the signature ramen, the arugula was a little odd. i had weird interactions with the service, it lacked warmth and overall didn't make for a comfortable experience.

Signature Paitan
Sarah L.

Still our favorite ramen spot. Consistency every time with service and food. I wanted to try their new special oyster ramen, but I can't seem to break away from the signature paitan. I do want to come back and try it, it sounded delightful.

Ma-Yu (Black) Ramen (with the Just Like Paitan in the back)
Evelyn S.

Sazan is a nice, reliable spot for ramen, especially if you're near The Crescent! Plenty of seating indoors, good for both small and large groups. Making a reservation ahead of time can be helpful if you have a large party and/or are coming during their busy hours (weekend evenings especially). Service is good, and you get your food within a reasonable time. Parking is hit or miss depending on when you go (again, weekend evenings are notoriously bad), but just hang in there and you'll be able to find a spot. I've been to Sazan three times now and the Ma-Yu (Black) ramen is my go-to! Ma-Yu (Black) Ramen ($15.25, 9/10) - My favorite so far! Great flavors with roasted garlic & a bunch of toppings (veggies/cabbage, menma, ajitama) and either chicken or pork chashu. I got the pork chashu, and it's soft but on the thinner side. Paitan Ramen ($14.25, 7/10) - Tastes fine. It's topped with arugula, so maybe skip this one if you're not a fan of that. Otherwise the broth and ajitama are good, the red onions are kinda just there. As with all the ramen options, you can choose pork or chicken chashu. One of my friends is vegetarian and got the Just Like Paitan ($15.25) this most recent time, and liked it. Not much in terms of toppings, although it does come with the option of an "ATX" side (tempura, assortment of veggies). Good option for anybody's who's vegan or vegetarian. Overall Sazan is consistent in its flavors and the prices are reasonable, which is why I've been back multiple times! Great ramen option in the Highland area.

Does their broths contain shellfish?

Ramen broths typically contain bonito flakes/katsuobushi (fish flakes) niboshi (sardines) and kelp. That said, if you have for sensitivities/allergies, you would be best to ask the restaurant.

From the very first sip of that rich, creamy broth, I knew this place was something special. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the pork was tender and flavorful, and every bite felt like comfort in a bowl. Honestly, it's the best ramen I've ever had--and it's not even close. What really sets this place apart is the customer service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The vibe is awesome--lively, clean, and the kind of place you want to sit, relax, and enjoy every minute of your meal. And whatever you do, don't pass up the Spicy Wings. They are sweet, spicy, and perfectly crispy--cooked just right with that satisfying crunch in every bite. Absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to an already amazing meal. Top-notch service, incredible food, and an unbeatable atmosphere--this place is a must-visit.

The broth was super rich and creamy! I was really surprised. I really enjoyed the broth and its taste, however, the noodles were alittle clumpy. I would definitely recommend coming here, the food was delicious and fast!

Somehow, against all odds, Ramen Del Barrio still exceeds its reputation. There's only one vegan ramen option but it's all you need, both in terms of portion size and flavor. I've never had anything quite like the mole tsukemen, a Tex-Mex mashup pairing rich mole broth served separately from handmade noodles so thick, you might mistake them for udon at a glance. Simple toppings of fried tortilla strips, avocado, charred jalapeno, and caramelized onions adorn the top. Before this moment, I thought I just wasn't a fan of mole. It turns out, I had never tried great mole before. This stuff dazzles with layered spices, melded so well that I can't pick a single one out from the pack. It's not overwhelmingly hot, but definitely leaves your lips tingling. I'm glad I finally got there before they close up shop at their current location in Hana World Market on December 21st, and even happier to know that their new brick-and-mortar isn't too far behind. I'll be there as soon as the doors open!

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.

We also had the BBQ eel which was delicious (a bit pricey for 3-4 small pieces for $18, but it is cooked SO well).We had the charred edamame which does have beef in it (take note vegetarians -- there aren't a lot of veggie only dishes on the menu), and the taiyaki cornbread (excellent flavor and texture). We did get the hippie bone marrow (it's eggplant!) and the Kinoko mushroom for our vegetarian friend and she really liked both it even though she's not big into mushrooms (the kinoko has a strong umami flavor, it's quite meat-like actually). We got the hot pocketz too which are brisket based; they were very cheesy (smoked gouda) -- good flavor but the brisket isn't strong. My coworkers also tried one of their specials which is essentially a Japanese "famed dish" -- it's squid marinated in it's own guts. I tried the tiniest piece and it was one of the most abhorrent things I've had -- it was SO salty and kind of sour. I like fried squid but this was nothing like that; def would not recommend but if you like to try weird things, go for it. We also got several drinks -- the Match painkiller and Puff puff pass (serves 2 people) are both absolutely delightful! Very fruity/tiki-like. Someone else got the grapefruit sour which is basically Shochu in a glass that comes with a fresh half of grapefruit and a juicer you can prep yourself! Overall -- I like Kemuri a lot. The food is a little high for the portion sizes, but it's a solid place to go with friends/coworkers and share things so you can try a lot. Because things come out like it courses, you can easily get full without overeating. And the drinks are great! It's a more casual place inside, but you could still have a nice/fun date night here.
