Everything was perfect. My tsukemen was just as advertised, very garlicky and rich. The waitress that helped us today was so accommodating and understanding when I asked for no bean sprouts. The atmosphere was also calm and peaceful. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Ramen Near Me - Houston, Texas

Absolutely loved Tsujita Artisan Noodle! The menu is unique and everything we tried was delicious. I got the spicy dry ramen--perfectly cooked noodles with a rich, flavorful sauce and just the right kick. The toppings really brought it together. We also had the crispy katsu plate with rice--super crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside--and the bao buns were a standout, filled with crispy Japanese white fish, fresh greens, and a great sauce. Great ambiance, very friendly service, and an awesome location next to a bunch of Asian stores. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend! read more

I've been here a couple of times, and I usually order the Spicy Tsukemen because it's my favorite. This time, I decided to switch things up and try the Garlic Kicker, and it was just as delicious. The bean sprouts add a refreshing crunch that helps balance the rich, savory broth. They're also very generous with the noodle portions, so I always leave feeling full and satisfied. The restaurant is usually busy and lively, and the service is good. During my most recent visit, there was a mix-up with my friend's order, but the staff quickly corrected it and brought out the right dish. Tsujita is one of my favorite spots for tsukemen, and I'll definitely be back the next time I'm craving a bowl. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Spicy Tsukemen (top), Garlic Kicker (bottom) - Ramen Near Me - Houston, Texas

Ramen + Garlic = two of my favorite things! Having heard about this popular chain from Los Angeles, I was excited to check it out. A group of us came in a Tuesday for lunch and were greeted and seated immediately. Service was quick and attentive. Anytime I go to a new ramen place, I have to get the tonkatsu, it's the basis of how good a ramen spot is! So with a handful of ramen options, I went with the black garlic tonkatsu. Depth of flavor was there, with a creamy and rich umami in every bite. The ramen noodle texture had the perfect bite to it. My only complaint really is that I wish there were more than two thin slices of pork in there! Overall, given the plethora of ramen joints in Houston, Tsujita ranks as average, especially with places like Mensho popping up! read more

Came here for lunch and it wasn't crowded. Interior was simple and neat, and the kitchen was visible. Menu was short and sweet, thus it didn't take long for me to decide my food. I had the Hokkaido croquette as appetizer. It had pumpkin filling and came in two pieces. They were fried perfectly and tasted good. I had the black garlic tonkotsu ramen in regular size (either regular or large) too. The broth didn't have an aromatic black garlic flavor, but the noodles were cooked right. They have daily deals placed on the tables, so do look out for them before ordering. Parking lot is big and easy to get a parking spot. read more

I came to Tsujita Ramen when Houston got hit with a freeze in early 2025. The operating hours was kind of confusing. I thought I would come back again but I never did. Although I have been to West on West "WoW" mall often. I was super hungry that night in a cold January night. The restaurant was about to close, sort of. So, I ordered something vegan. The food came out pretty quick. The menu looked fancy and I had to use Google for a lot of items that I was no familiar with, like Age, as part of Age Tofu Curry. Ok, Age is short for Agedashi as Agedashi Tofu 揚げ出し豆腐. It's a lightly deep fried tofu in cubes, which covered with potato starch. I thought it was a delightful vegan dish. It was my first time trying. It was kind of gummy to chew. I like the decor and convenient location. I would def come back. Since I posted my photos on Facebook, my friends have been asking about it. I think I am going to check back with them to see how they liked Tsujita Ramen. read more

Very awesome and baller-azz ramen joint (they have one or the original may be in LA on Sawtelle which I've been to many times) with a special Annan Madai Fair promo from 2/9-3/31. $20.95 Yuzu Bream Tsukemen and $33.95 Madai & Unagi Kamameshi? Take my money and yes please. I tried the Yuzu Bream Tsukemen and it was amazing and truly divine - very flavorful and here is the description: House-made concentrated dipping broth featuring the natural umami of red sea bream (madai), topped with lightly seared madai sashimi, seasoned egg and green onion. The Kamameshi they said would take 30 minutes to prepare so I will try it next time. Also got the croquettes and pork gyoza. They also have a wide assortment of beverages like Arnold palmers and peach/mango teas. Excellent service too and a very cool interior atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Cute and casual ramen spot in the WOW Center on Westheimer. I really loved the vibe, casual but chic. Their menu style is great: not an overwhelming amount of options, but just enough, with different portion sizes to choose from, which I appreciate. I ordered the Black Garlic ramen, and it was perfect. The portion was just right for one person, plenty of noodles, piping hot, and the broth was delicious creamy, garlicky, and full of flavor. The pork was very good and not too fatty. Honestly, everything about it was delicious. The only thing I'd love to see is more topping options to customize. Other than that, I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely be back! read more

TLDR: curry katsu don- OK Kitchen- clean and visible Tsukemen- uncharacteristically expensive Service- friendly Good beer special This was a beautiful curry katsu don, but it was spicier than what one would expect for Japanese cuisine and the curry was a bit bland. I'm used to the curry Katsu Don being purely, savory, with a little bit of heat coming from the curry alone. I felt there must've been some pepper in the breading, which I don't feel is normal for this dish and wouldn't prefer. However, ambience is very nice, and they have a good deal on beer, and you can see the chefs doing their work in the kitchen, which makes one very confident in the cleanliness of the operation. Furthermore, this is one of the only places where you can really find tsukemen-- however, I did not order this because, although in Japan it was but nine dollars, it was more than $20 on the menu here. However, I think that this must be one of their specialty dishes, being one of the only restaurants in Houston to offer it, and also because I observed some of the patrons going to town on their cold dip Ramen. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Curry katsu don - Ramen Near Me - Houston, Texas

Went for their Naruto collab. I've definitely heard mixed reviews of Tsujita. The restaurant is not too busy, with plenty of seating and is in the Westheimer Plaza with lots of parking. It was decorated with tons of Naruto banners and wall decals and on the left wall, they were projecting episodes. Kpop and anime songs played overhead. They forgot to give us the special collab coaster, or they ran out but didn't tell us. We got the Naruto crispy chicken buns and the katsu curry (chicken and pork). Pricing wise, it was about $50 for two people. The curry is reminiscent of the deeper, darker gogo curry mix that I really like, but otherwise didn't have much other mix ins like potatoes or carrots. The chicken was crispy and the rice was nice and sticky. The buns had crispy chicken with a good spicy kick. This is probably going to be standard pricing nowadays with inflation and portion size wise, each entree would probably be enough for two meals. I wish they had the lunch menu specials available on the weekends because I was really interested in trying their egg sandos. Overall, not bad, not anything I'd go out of my way for, but I might be convinced if they have more anime collabs in the future and I was in the area. read more

I've been coming to Tsujita for awhile almost when this location open, so I was really disappointed to see the recent menu changes. That's the reason I rate it 4 The new noodles are thinner, and, they don't have the same texture or quality as the original. :c The previous recipe was one of the main reasons I kept coming back. I truly hope you'll consider bringing the original noodles back, as they were a big part of what made Tsujita so special!! I do drive 30 mins to come here and enjoy some noodles. Overall great customer service!! read more

I got the regular Tonkonsu ramen and honestly there wasn't much flavor to it. It was decent for lunch but I wouldn't drive out of my way and expect life changing flavor. The egg was delicious though! Prices are decent and food came out pretty quickly! read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Ramen Near Me - Houston, Texas

Always good to add another ramen shop to Houston, especially this part of town. Plus, this isn't any ramen shop, it's a branch from LA's Tsujita, so at least you can expect some level of quality. Price-wise, very fair tbh. You can pay a little more for premium, or spicy versions. Broth is solid and creamy. Tonkotsu is at a good level of cook. Maybe it's because it's still new, but they have a lot of different specials going on, so we got a chashu bowl for $6 and calamari for free, so take advantage of the specials while you can! Pretty spacious inside, with a large table that is perfect for big groups. Staff is friendly. Lots of parking because it's inside the up-and-coming Westchase plaza that has Teso, 99 Ranch, Onodera, GEN, Lady M, and the Alley. Worth a visit, will have to get the tsukemen (their OG dish) next time. read more

I'm sad because I drove 30 min to see they changed their menu and took off the original chicken ramen. I use love killer noodle and when they closed down, this spot was the fix I needed but now idk. It was comfort food that was perfect and now I have to find another place to accommodate that flavor. Please change your menu back!!!! read more

Tsujita is famous for its tsukemen, or dipping ramen. Unfortunately during my visit I did not order its most famous dish. The dishes that I did try included the calamari appetizer and the karaage rice bowl. Both of these dishes were very good and cooked to perfection. The karaage in particular was crispy and juicy and had a light soy based sauce drizzled on top. They also offer lunch deals where you can get a smaller sized ramen and a rice bowl which my friends went for and were more than full afterwards. The decor is very nice and each table has a lot of space. The service was quite fast when we visited on a Friday around 11am. I hope to return soon to try their ramen, more specifically their famous tsukemen. read more

3 stars is for the food but I'll give it a 4 because our server Tuong was very nice and accommodating. I didn't have high expectations for this spot due to mixed reviews but it got the job done and I left full and satisfied. To start I ordered a strawberry lemonade as my drink. It was a little sweet for my liking but a refreshing beverage. My friend and I shared a chicken karaage, spicy karaage bun & shrimp bun. The chicken karaage was just okay, it came out pipping hot & crispy but a bit boring in flavor. It was kind of odd that they gave us tartar sauce for our chicken, I would've preferred some sort of spicy mayo or even spicy chipotle. The shrimp bun was uninspiring & they were cheap since they only gave us one shrimp. The bun was fluffy. For our main course I ordered their spicy Tonkotsu & my friend got the spicy chicken ramen. Both our broth was flavorful & creamy but a little too oily as well; most likely from all that chili oil. The chashu was tendered and the egg was marinated to perfection but overcooked. I like mine gooey and runny. My friend chicken was also tendered. The noodles were chewy and al dente. To be honest it wasn't worth paying 15 bucks for a medium size bowl of ramen. It was mainly noodles with small amounts of meats and toppings. Overall, it wasn't bad but I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again. The decor is nice with an anime theme. The service is what gave it a 4 otherwise it would've been a 3. Will I come back? Only if my friends decide to go. read more

I've came here a few times before and they are consistently exceeding expectations. Their deluxe ramen bowls are loaded with meat and the flavors are criminally underrated. This visit, we got the karaage curry and pork katsu curry and both were delicious in their own way. The karaage was crispy and packed with flavor, and the pork katsu was soft, fatty, yet crispy on the outside. Definitely would choose the karaage over it just because of how flavorful it was, but I wouldn't be surprised if I went for the latter on some occasions. The service and ambiance were also up to par with the food, just enough care despite it being busy but not invasive enough to where I wish they'd leave me alone. Needless to say, I'll be back for a curry or ramen craving. read more

Had a great lunch here during the weekend. I got the spicy chicken ramen, and overall it was great. To me, the star of the show was the ramen itself. Texture of the noodle is very good, very different from other ramen places. The other ingredients and broth were tasty too. I also ordered the chicken karaage which was ok. My friend ordered the Hokkaido Croquette, which was ok, but it was very much like tempura sweet potato taste for me. The restaurant was spacious and clean, and staff was ok. I will like to go back for the noodles once again! read more

Ambiance: 5 Service: 5 Location and parking: 5 Food: the croquettes were great. They're a bit sweet so they taste different than what we usually have but they're good nonetheless. The Tonkotsu was good but it's not as thick as I expected. The Chashu was something else. They have two kinds of Chashu. The pink one tastes more like cured ham Chashu. Not bad tho. About the Miso one, my husband is very picky about his Miso. He never likes Miso anywhere else except Tamashi but he likes this one. read more

Tsujita Artisan Noodle - Deluxe Tonkotsu and Spicy Miso - Ramen Near Me - Houston, Texas

I was craving ramen on a chilly day and decided to give this place a try. I ordered a variety of dishes, starting with appetizers: Chicken Karaage, Spicy Cucumber, Japanese Croquette, Pork Belly Bun, and Chicken Karaage Bun. Out of these, the Spicy Cucumber and Chicken Karaage were the only standouts--flavorful and worth ordering. Unfortunately, the rest were underwhelming and didn't leave much of an impression. For ramen, I went with the Spicy Tonkotsu and Spicy Black Garlic. While both were fairly standard, I preferred the Spicy Black Garlic broth as it had more depth and flavor. That said, neither really stood out as exceptional. Service was a bit slow, likely because there was only one employee managing the entire floor. Overall, I'm glad I tried this spot, but it didn't quite hit the mark for me--I probably wouldn't return. read more

The service here was great, and my waitress always made sure to check up on my friend and I! We came on a Friday night, and it wasn't too packed, so there was ample seating. I ordered the spicy Miso ramen and the spicy Karaage bun while my friend ordered the Karaage bowl. Overall, the food wasn't awful, but it was borderline salty. The spicy Karaage bun had a good crisp, but they went overboard with the chili oil; the Karaage meat was already fried, so adding chili oil to it (for spice) made the bun nauseating + salty to me. I would've preferred if they had a spicy mayo sauce, or made the Karaage meat seasoned to be spicier. I recommend trying their other baos, but the spicy Karaage bun wasn't the most pleasant experience. Similarly, my friend said the meat for her Karaage bowl was also a bit salty. Likewise, it was interesting how they made the spicy paste separate from the ramen and even added butter to the mix. After mixing it all together, the ramen broth became a lot more creamy and the spice definitely packed a punch! It was enjoyable at first, though, did find it to be a bit heavy after a while. However, the ramen had a nice chewy texture and I liked how it was prepared! I'm not sure if the addition of butter to the broth was necessary. I enjoyed how the pork was prepared though, very tender and thinly sliced. The food here is a bit expensive, but honestly, what ramen place isn't on the pricier side? I would come back to try their other options, but several other ramen shops in Houston are cheaper & tastier. read more

Lotta hype from my friends about this place as they've had it in LA. Is it good? Sure. Live up to the hype? Don't think so. We came on a Friday night and wasn't too packed but service was a little slow. Got the corner booth and the sunlight coming in was super annoying - need some blinds by the windows. It's funny and cute they got some Disney movies playing on the wall, which is fun for the kids if you got some with you. Tsukemen is the way to go and the deluxe regular comes with a parade of pork and plenty of noodles. The large is just more noodles, so I would skip unless you're super hungry. The thick noodles have good chew and the concentrated broth is plenty porky and rich. I do not recommend squeezing the lime as the flavor profile with the acidity surprisingly to cut through the funk was not up my alley but to each their own. The accoutrements were fine - bamboo, egg and seaweed. As for the pork parade, each was different but kinda bland overall. There's some leaner thinly sliced pork loin, some smokier pulled pork and fatty pork belly - the loin and belly were surprisingly bland and the pulled pork flavor profile just didn't feel right with the rest of the dish. But interesting flight regardless. There's not much meat in the non-deluxe. Katsu curry is also ok. Very thick pork katsu with some interesting golden curry. But nothing to write home about. All in all, it's fine but had better for cheaper, since it is pretty pricey for what it is. read more

We went for the last weekend of the month to get their souffle pancakes and I thought it was really good. We got there right as they opened so we didn't have to wait to get seated. The Tsukemen was a bit salty but otherwise good. The service was pretty fast given that it was really busy and we ordered the souffle pancakes because the worker told us that it would take a while and we got it right after our meal was finished which was great. The inside is so cute and seems clean. read more

My daughter and I had lunch here last weekend. I've been to the location in Los Angeles 10+ times. The Houston location is new, and the interior feels new and nice. Service as good (a bit slow at times). Casually elegant for a ramen house. The menu at the Houston location offers a lot more than LA does. We stuck to the old favorites. I had the Tsukemen (5/5). Almost as good as the LA location. Still a 5 out of 5. For those that are not familiar, this is served as a bowl of cooked but dry noodles (more like a udon noodle than a typical ramen noodle) with a side of "dipping" broth. One of my favorite "ramens". My daughter had the Tonkatsu. She gave it a 5 out of 5 and thought it's one of the best ramens she's had. We look forward to going back! read more

The staff were great, they took some things into consideration. I wanted to see what was special about their Tsukemen so I had to try it out. The karaage was crispy and hot when it came out. The sauce that you dip it in was an interesting flavor that I've never had before. I got both the regular and spicy pork belly buns; i preferred the regular over the other one after trying both. I really appreciated how al dente the noodles were in the dipping Ramen and the Hakata Tonkotsu. The flavors in the tsukemen had a very strong bonito dashi taste. The diced pork chashu bits got the charred scent as well as being very tender. The veggies were pretty fresh. Seating and tables were very spacious. read more

Came back a year later (Oct 2025) and totally disappointed by the food. Their tsukemen when first opened used to be so good, reminding me of those I had in Japan. But now, it's a total disappointment to the point I couldn't recognize. The broth was bland, watery, seriously lacking umami note required for a dipping ramen. The noodle was chewy and bouncy enough, but still too thick for a watery broth. I couldn't finish the bowl... read more

Decent place to have a good ol bowl of Ramen. Located in the increasingly popular shops of West on West, Tsujita has stamped itself properly and made itself known. Coming in with high expectations the place fell shy of meeting them. Luckily, I went when there were ample seating and situated myself in the corner. No problem, I ordered the Tsukemen and it was quite delicious though the quantity left me wanting more. They're sheisty on the toppings. Half an egg, 1 piece of char sui a few pinches of bamboo. However the noodles they give are a healthy portion. The broth was creamy and well seasoned. For a premium price of $18+ I felt there would be more to be desired. Tsujita is just ok. Not much to complain about besides the high pricing and lesser quantity than you think you should have gotten. However at this location pricing seems to be more on the premium side of things for all restaurants around here. Not bad, won't be back. read more
