we ordered and paid through the qr code provided at the table - it was straightforward. ordered the mini chashu bowl and simply black ramen. the chashu meat was on the sweeter side, but otherwise pretty good. the ajitama egg was perfect in both the bowl and the ramen. it was decent ramen for bee cave! would recommend if you live close to bee cave and don't want to drive closer to the city. read more

My husband and I stopped by this restaurant for a quick meal. It used to be another Asian restaurant, but they have remodeled it, and it looks great compared to the previous place. We were the only customers when we arrived, which must have been during a slow time. The server who seated us took our order and brought our food; it felt like he was a one-person show. There were some staff members in the back, including a sushi chef, who was very nice. I appreciated that my husband ordered hot food while I ordered sushi, and both dishes came out at the same time. In other restaurants, either my meal or his tends to arrive first, but here they were served together. Overall, the food was decent and reasonably priced. The restaurant is located in the Galleria area, which has plenty of parking. I hope to return soon! read more

The service was fast, Sushi fresh and tasty. Chicken Ramen was really good. Enough for 2. Fried Pork Gyoza was delicious and had a healthy amount of meat. Overall great experience. read more

You know I really enjoyed the food at this place and I recommend it to every every person I knew I can no longer do that. My sister in law told me how badly they treated her for wearing a Support Blue Collar Hat!!!! The waiter was such a dirt bag towards her and her Mother they ended up leaving because the original waiter would not wait on them, and kept making snide comments towards them. You definitely need to train up your weight staff. Because they are blue-collar wait staff. read more

We were in the mood for ramen. This place was not too far. The seating was immediate as it was a week day. The service is very fast and prompt. Our server was friendly and he recommended to do half spicy half black ramen which turned out to be good. The portions are huge and will definitely satisfy you. The place looks modern and clean. There is a robot that delivers your food which looks cool. Good for a ramen fix whenever you need one read more

Simply Ramen didn't have to smack that hard. I've had a ton of ramen in my lifetime and though Simply Ramen doesn't stick to the traditional flavors you may be used to, if you're looking for something unexpected, maybe take the trek to Bee Cave... I ordered the Simply Black, which features a classic tonkotsu pork broth with noodles, pork chashu, ajitama (marinated egg), fried garlic crisps, kikurage (wood ear mushrooms), menma (bamboo shoots), beansprouts, and green onion. What sets the Simply Black apart from the Simply Classic (mild) or Simply Red (spicy) is the addition of house-made black garlic oil. If you're a garlic lover like myself, you'll absolutely LOVE this! While the pork chashu was a bit fattier than I prefer and the ajitama sweeter than expected, the broth's flavor and fried garlic crisps were incredible. I couldn't resist trying the sushi as well, but I'd recommend skipping it and focusing on the ramen instead. read more

Simply Ramen and Gyoza - Mini Xa Xiu rice bowl. - Ramen Near Me - Bee Cave, Texas

I've been here two or three times now, and think it's probably the best ramen compared to anything I've tried in central or south Austin. It's incredibly flavorful and they are fairly generous with their portions and variety of toppings that are included in the price. Plenty of comfortable seating on the inside. We went on a Saturday evening and though there were plenty of people there was no line and service was quick. Definitely recommend trying this out whether you live in Bee Cave or not! read more

The food was good, not over the top. The presentation was poor. They served me a poke bowl with a spoon, and I had to get up to get chopsticks and napkins. I asked for another glass of wine and it never came. No one worked the table or even cared if I was there or not. I don't care how good the food is with service like that I will not return. read more

NOPE Hello, I love the Ramen here so much that I decided to come here today and order it, the same ramen that I got prior but this time they put corn in it. I ordered the same Ramen several times and I'm allergic to corn when I called and told them that I'm having an allergic reaction and I had to go to the hospital. All they offered was to just give me my money back. Instead of fixing my situation they basically told me that I ordered the wrong Ramen, which I ordered the same Ramen for the third time and that is just unacceptable. read more

Chilly and rainy day calls for something to warm you up! We were in area on our trip through town and decided to give this a go with many rave reviews. The inside is clean & cozy. The host was quick to seat us. Fortunately they weren't super busy, only 4 total tables to serve. One whole side and bar area empty. Our waiter came to us promptly, a little too promptly but of course rather that then be forgotten! :) We'll, the too prompt continued in an annoying way to the point it was rushed and like "hurry up." We would of ordered more but it was the vibe of eat and go. Ordered the #2 Black Ramen and it is only different from the classic with the add of the garlic. Same price though. I wanted to add some chili sauce on the side to spice it up to my liking. That was $.50. In addition, added what we call bamboo shoots, they have a different name on the menu. $2.00 more. Alright, let's talk about it.... The first bite of garlic was so bad, it ruined the taste in both our mouths and we looked at each other like what the heck is that?! The bamboo shoots had the weirdest flavor and were nothing like any bamboo shoots I've ever had...and we LOVE them normally, but this was also meh. The pork was so dry, we could barely chew it. It should be melt in your mouth if your having it in a broth. The egg, also a wierd almost sweet flavor that didn't go well with the ramen. I had extra and didn't even take it to go. I am shocked at the many that said best ramen they've ever had...they must not of had much LOL! Our glasses stayed empty, our neighboring table even had to go to the waiter himself to ask for a refill which finally prompted him to fill ours. We've been Jinya ramen fans for years. Well stick to that. Personally wouldn't come here again. Sorry :/ read more

My husband and I frequent this place often. I really like their vegan ramen. Now hear me out, I'm not even vegan, but the vegan Ramen has a ton of good stuff in there. Lots of good veggies and the green noodles are good. The tofu is super yummy and there are large brussels sprouts and all sorts of veggies in there. My husband loves the red Ramen consistently great service here we at least come here every other week. Usually I don't dine in, I get to go or takeout. We have also had their Gyoza and teriyaki chicken for those looking for something other than ramen. Their pork Gyoza / pot stickers are very good. read more

Was looking for a good Ramen place when I first moved back to the hill country. I tried this once and now if anyone wants to meet me for lunch, they don't even ask because they know where we're going. They are as addicted as I am. The sushi is great. The Ramen is fantastic. The gyoza and the chatsu buns are perfect. This was probably my 10th time there (I've been here for 5 months ) and today, one thing didn't taste like usual. He came right over and apologized and took it off the check. The service is great and for the kiddos, they have a little robot that brings your food! It's not fancy but it's delicious! read more

Great spot in Bee Cave if you're looking for Ramen. The staff are fantastic! My wife and I decided to grab a quick lunch here. The restaurant layout is great. They have a little bar area and a nice size dining room. We both ordered a ramen dish and started with the Japanese pan-fried dumplings. The pan-fried dumplings were delicious! I could've eaten two orders of these! Both our Ramens were very tasty. Flavors were just right and not overbearing. read more

Today, I've updated and upgraded to 5* The Black would make famous chef Nobu proud with earthy tones in the pork broth and ingredients inspired to deliver richness, intensity, texture, quality, and depth you might expect at a higher end restaurant. The pork was amazingly seasoned and done like Ive never seen. Plenty of pork too. Also tried the Miso Hot with similar compliments and it does have a nice spicy flavor profile. Both entrees were beautifully executed with the presentation immaculately performed. Thanks to the kind and attentive service, very pleased. read more

This place is genuinely awful. The food is terrible, the service is bad. There's no reason to go here. I ordered chicken fried rice for my kids and it was disgusting. It was as though someone had cooked a piece of plastic in it. Totally inedible and could very well have gotten sick. Even the basic Gyoza or slimy and gross and it clearly just come out of a microwave. They're much better options in the area. read more

Worst sushi I have ever had. Spider roll totally screwed up. Save yourself. Go elsewhere

If I could rate it a 0 I would. My boyfriend, best friend, and her 5 month old(not fussing at all). All came to enjoy a spot we thought we enjoyed, that was up until we had ordered a sake and a pint of beer each. Before my best-friend and I could get half way through our ONE beer. The "manager" Lindy cut us off after the waiters complained of my incoherent speech, which is a South African accent. Told us she'd be happy as f*"k to never see us again after asking what the issue was. Disgusting behavior... loss of a frequent customers. And at the back sauce table when I had to grab my own soy sauce I saw many roaches. Not to mention there is a definite septic issue. !!!!! Poop in every toilet, nice touch to entice customers to come back for more. read more

I was very excited to try this restaurant. When we got there the server was visibly annoyed with us from the second we sat down. We were then approached by multiple servers rushing us to order. Once we got our food we were ignored. We each ordered one beer and 2 sake's to split, between 3 people and were then cut off and asked to leave. DO NOT COME HERE. read more

The ramen is really solid. The service was friendly and fast. Done in and take out has been solid. Love the location and food here.........

Finally, a legit ramen place in the Bee Cave area. Very much needed and very much appreciated. Love the ambiance and decor of the restaurant and love the flexibility of ordering at the table through a QR code or waiting for a waiter. A robot waiter also comes with your food. Although a human actually hands it to you. The Bao buns - outstanding. Perfect texture on the fluffy buns and pork is tender and tasty. One nitpick is to not have regular mayo as the side sauce. That seems a bit lazy. Make it a spicy mayo or something interesting. To be fair the bun is tasty on its own and doesn't need the extra sauce. The pork Gyoza were delicious and plentiful. Plump and tasty with just enough crunch from the pan frying. The black ramen is very good as well. Nice texture to the ramen and pork. Good mix of ingredients and good flavor. Would love to see a bottle of sriracha at the table so you can spice it up to your own taste. But otherwise, the bowl of ramen really hit the spot. Service was pretty slow during lunch. Took a good 8 mins before we saw a waiter. No water was served until after we placed our order. read more

I don't usually eat ramen nowadays, but the classic ramen was good. I like how they offer both ramen and sushi. They also have a lunch special combos for sushi rolls everyday until 3 pm, including weekends! Service was good. There were robots, but our waiter still helped us. Pretty spacious as well. There are individual seats if on your own. Wasn't crowded when we went on a weekend afternoon. Overall, I'd recommend this place for those driving by. read more

I came during the soft opening and thought it was fine. I came again Oct 2023 and WOW I've been missing out by not coming more often! Got the black garlic tonkatsu ($15). The tonkatsu is rich, fatty, with a great depth of flavor. The garlic flavor is not only helped by the black garlic oil but also the fried garlic chips. Easily one of the best in Austin, on par with Sazan (note that Sazan is not tonkatsu; this place also has the lighter chicken broth but I haven't tried it yet). Definitely the best in the Bee Cave/Lakeway/Dripping area. Blows tatsuya out the water (not a fan of tatsuya in general). The ajitama (egg) is seasoned to be slightly sweet which was unexpected but very welcome as a brightness to cut through the rich broth. The charred pork was two long thick fatty slices with a great braised soy sauce flavor. A very generous portion, much more so than typical ramen shops. Karaage - excellent! Very crispy exterior and juicy dark meat interiors. Came piping hot. read more

The owner of Simply Pho House is expanding her food empire with Simply Ramen & Gyoza and I am here for it! When the pho restaurant moved across the street to its new Galleria location a year or so ago, we had no idea a sister restaurant would fill its old spot. I'm amazed by how chic and different this space looks post-renovation. The two of us ordered a Simply Classic, Simply Red, and Simply Gyoza for dinner. Everything in the ramen bowls were quite tasty and came with a generous amount of toppings, including a juicy piece of chashu pork. A portion of my noodles were a tad undercooked but I ain't mad about it. If you're thinking about getting the spicy ramen, be prepared for a 3/5 spice level. Our server undersold how spicy it was but I survived lol. Unless you love gyozas, I'd skip ordering them here. They were lukewarm, chewy, and too heavy on the chives. Might be a fluke or consistency issue, as my husband swears they were much better the last time he ordered them. I'll absolutely be coming back for a comforting, hot bowl of ramen as the temps cool down in Texas. Excited for this place to get better and become a staple of the Bee Cave community. read more

Terrible experience. The fried rice was awful, and the calamari was like chewing gum. We tried to return it, but the waiter insisted that it wasn't allowed--something I've never experienced at any restaurant. The service was terrible, and the food was even worse. I will never go back and definitely do not recommend it. read more

Really pleasant experience. Came for lunch, was impressed with how clean and large the restaurant is. Menu has a lot of selection, not just noodles, appetizers, sushi also. Ordering is from your phone at the table, easy to scroll and see pictures and descriptions. I ordered a seaweed salad and Classic Ramen. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. Salad was one of the better that I have had. Ramen is excellent, rich savory broth, pork is tender with a little smoke, vegetables are fresh and crisp, thin noodles had nice texture. They serve beer and wine. read more

Superb Ramen. The Bee Cave / Lakeway area is lacking in good ramen / pho / hot pot or anything like that. This place is the only good solution in the area. The pork broth is rich and fatty and when you order any of the hot ramen, it comes very spicy and they have an extra ball of spice on top that you can mix how you want. Seriously spicy. Also, their gyoza and karaage are both so good that it's hard to pick which one we want. The gyoza is done in the traditional pan fried style, as you can see by the picture where all the gyoza are connected. It's beautiful and delicious. The karaage is also basically perfect, just a nice slightly greasy layer of lightly fried crisp batter. It's terrific, check it out! read more
