Airi Ramen - Y3. Shrimp Yaki Udon A4. Crab Puffs S1. Miso Soup - Ramen Near Me - Houston, Texas

Airi Ramen is a great place to satisfy your ramen craving without hurting your wallet. Despite having relatively lower prices, their ramen is comparable in quality to other places. The restaurant has very interesting murals and a nice casual atmosphere that makes it a perfect candidate for an unplanned meal. My usual order is the black garlic tonkotsu, which I feel is the most flavorful bowl on the menu. 3.8/5 read more

First time here and I was a little disappointed. Got the chicken katsu, new caney roll, spicy salmon roll and black garlic ramen. Chicken katsu was good I'd give it 7/10, it was crispy and the stir fried veggie that it comes with was yummy and the portion is huge! But sadly, it's down hill from there, the ramen portion was tiny mostly bean sprouts, the pork was tough, paid an extra 1.25 for corn and barely got a spoon full. Don't get the sushi, it's not worth the money. The service was good, our server was nice and quick. The vibe here was nice, they had 3 different anime playing and the decoration was nice. Would I come back, probably not. Unless I'm craving chicken katsu. Over all 4/10 read more

I came here for some alone time for lunch! It was perfect. The place is quaint and small but lots of seating for small and large groups. Because it was after lunch hour, I was the only one in but my server was very nice and helpful. I enjoyed the bao buns.... VERY DELICIOUS! The miso soup was meh. I will be back to try more! read more

This place is one of the best ramen places in the area. I got the B1. Tonkotsu Ramen and my husband got the spicy garlic ramen. The pork broth was mild but very yummy. The pork chashu is amazing, same with the seasoned eggs. The only very mild complaint we had is there is a lot of beans sprouts in the ramen. The spring rolls are THE BEST I've ever had at a restaurant. They are outstanding for veggie spring rolls. A note for anyone who is interested in coming their default water, despite me loving it, is cucumber lemon water. So make sure you ask for regular water. The vibe is very nice, lots of tvs and lanterns. They only have one server, and it wasn't very busy when we came but he was very sweet and quick. read more

Was excited to try this place when we got a mailer from them! The menu has lots of different options for different kinds of dietary needs and our server was happy to ask for me about menu items to ensure they were safe for me to eat. The spicy garlic edamame is a garlic lovers dream and absolutely delicious! I also really enjoyed the chicken wonton ramen. The broth you can tell is a rich chicken bone broth and the noodles were cooked perfectly still having a little chewy bite to them. The wontons lacked flavor but the veggies were nice and fresh. My husband greatly enjoyed his shaggy dog roll and looks forward to bringing some of our friends who like sushi to come try it. Food was yummy, staff was friendly and helpful and the restaurant itself has a cozy atmosphere and was very clean. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

I'm so glad I discovered this place. I was looking for another ramen option since I've been going to the same one for years (you know which one). To my surprise they offer so much more than ramen!!! I was highly impressed with the ambiance and decor. Such a cute option for a casual lunch or date night. The menu offers everything from main stream appetizers to baos to ramen to Chinese dishes to sushi. I've been twice already and had both ramen and sushi. Everything is literally made to order. Hooked. Support this mom + pop! read more

I noticed Airi as I was stopping by next door at KF to get some work done. Soft opening of their restaurant. So thankful that I changed my plans to come here for lunch. The interior was crisp, clean, and modern. Really tasteful Japanese lanterns without being overdone. And an incredible mural depicting the street life within a Japanese urban area. I debated a bit with the menu (you wonder if a place that serves General Tao's chicken can produce some solid non-fusion food) but went with the waitress' recommendation to get the spicy miso ramen. The broth was beautifully rich and thick, with just the right amount of spice level that still allowed me to taste the rich textures of the meat. The pork belly was deliciously seasoned and amazingly tender. The soft boiled egg was perfect and the vegetables were fresh and crisp and added to an overall impressive ramen. There was nothing fusion about this dish at all- just honest to goodness, legit ramen. read more

Tried the house fried rice. The rice was clean and consisted of chicken, shrimp, and pork. Pork was the primary meat in the dish. Shrimp was large and deveined. I appreciated the meal but feel the quantity didn't match the price point. The restaurant was nicely decorated and staff was lovely. I'd return. read more

I placed an order and went to pick it up as I was almost there. I got a notice saying that the order had been canceled due to lack of availability of some of the items since I was already there I went in. They said they were out of beef. It's a Friday night, what? trying to help small businesses but I guess they're too far gone. I hope they can get their act together. It's a cute interior and could be a good restaurant with proper management. read more

if I could give this place negative I would. My fiancé and I come in just an half an hour ago and we stand in the from the young girl tells us we can sit where ever . We sit down wait about 15 minutes just for her to make eye contact and come to the table . We gave her our order all at once because we figured it it took 15 mins for her to even acknowledge us then it's going to take forever for her to bring us anything. Mind you this young girl seems like she's the only one working, and there were about 4 other guest who were also waiting on things and to even be acknowledged people started walking out !!! Our appetizers came up and an older Asian women brought them out to us and we didn't even have drinks! So we're sitting here like we'll might as well eat these because we're never going to get our drinks. We finish eating then we get frustrated because after waiting 30 mins or a bit more for just drinks was insane ! So we decided to get up leave and of course pay . In the front is another couple waiting to pay and the lady ask for change and the young girl says they don't have change ... how do you not have change at an establishment where you can pay in cash?? So then we pay I have a 20 she tells me the same thing and continues to give me a 5 when she told us the dumplings were 11 bucks. Which I don't think is right but whatever , 20-11= 9 dollars , she owed me 4 dollars and wasn't going to give them to me , I told her I'm sorry there was no communication at all , besides before us sitting our own selves and the fact we got an appetizer before the drinks was crazy to me. So she wasn't going to get a tip but the fact she wasn't honest and tried to steal the money was insane! Do not come here horrible service, also she said the manager was in the back. Why the heck are they in the back doing nothing when they see this girl is swamped and obviously can't handle a few tables ? DO NOT COME HERE !! read more

This is my third time coming here and It's okay, the basil chicken wasn't very flavorful, didn't taste like basil and needed salt. But was very fresh and slightly crispy. I wouldn't personally get it again. The katsu was VERY crispy and was on a bed of sautéed squash. It's crispy and thin and hits that craving. What lacks in flavor they make up for it in portions. I would gladly pay 15 for the katsu again. I come here if I have the taste for it read more

I forget the man's name but he was the host and waiter. He was very tentative making sure we weren't waiting on anything from refills to extra napkins. Was personable asking if this was our first visit and what had brought us in today. Gyoza, edamame, and ramen were great. My chicken teriyaki was a little too dry for me but I was hungry and still ate it as it wasn't beyond inedible just a little too overdone. I'll probably visit again read more

We ordered the crispy calamari, 72 hr beef ramen & the general tsos chicken. The only thing that was tasty was the calamari & the white rice that came with the chicken. The beef in the ramen was overcooked and the broth was not flavorful, like a 3/10 for the broth. The general tsos comes with a miso soup and white rice. The miso soup tasted rancid. The sauce had brunt pieces all over it and ruined the entire dish. Sadly, would not come again. read more

My daughter and I stopped in for dinner. It was kind of late Friday for dinner, around 8pm. They weren't very busy. We were acknowledged right away and the server was pretty attentive. He made suggestions for appetizers and meals and engaged well with my daughter, who didn't really know what she wanted. He was really patient. We ended up both getting the spicy miso ramen after sharing the gyoza appetizer. We both enjoyed the food, but it was a little spicy for her (she's 10). I thought it was a good spice level. Enough to get a little burn, but not be overwhelming. I wish I had added corn. You can customize the ramen, I just didn't think about it when I ordered. They had other dishes, as well. Yaki soba, bao, lots of appetizers. I was pleasantly surprised to see they had several flavors of Calpico. I got the strawberry. My daughter had strawberry Ramune. Lots of art on the walls, it's pretty neat. We sat at the big table, where if it was busy, multiple parties would sit together. The centerpieces were pretty - rocks and seashells. Will definitely be back. read more

The food and service was amazing. Traveled to Houston from South Carolina for a graduation and was looking for something to eat one night. Ran across this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. The customer service was great. We were greeted and seated as soon as we came it. The scenery inside of this place is original and dope. The sushi was fresh and tasted great. The fried rice was homemade, no premade food over there, everything cooked to order. The Japanese Chicken was the star of the show! So juicy and full of flavor! I give this place a 5/5, all of the food we had was amazing, customer service great and overall atmosphere perfect! read more

the spicy chicken ramen is 10/10. i would recommend and get again next time. the yaki udon was at best, alright. the noodles themselves were good but the dish lacked flavor and color. if i got again, i would ask for chile oil. the service was fast and friendly. we walked in about 40 mins before closing and were out the door by 10. personally i like my soups bordering on boiling while i eat and they definitely hit the mark. the atmosphere and seating were both very cute. they had 2 large tables that would be able to fit a large party of about 20 each. read more

The miso ramen was something else. There were so many ingredients in there, like seaweed, beef, eggs and well miso. As a result I was able to experience a dif flavor profile with each bite. My favorite thing though was the beef belly bao. The flavor of the sauce was intense and the beef was nice and soft. The only thing I would change is the warm ness of the bread compared to the meat itself... but I Get it if you warm it up too much it breaks apart. read more

Love it here!!! I had the spicy edemami and takoyaki as an appetizer. Was awesome! Don't know how they make the sauce for the spicy edemami , but you could put it on a shoe and it would make it good. Also had the super yummy ramen and it was fantastic! Definitely the best ramen in Houston in my opinion. I've had ramen at the places in China town and such and they do not compare. Brand new place, but definitely worth the drive! Can't wait to come again! read more

The ramen was not really memorable, the substitutions were not very easy to switch out. When asking about being able to substitute a meat out for another item they will still charge for the meat even though it's being removed from the dish. I went with a friend and would not really want to go back. The crab Rangoon was not that fresh, they were okay but again not the freshness I was expecting. read more

Airi Ramen has great services and fast services. The sake is overpriced and you can obtain the sake at a local liquior store.

We wanted to love this place so bad, but based on our recent experience we knew we didn't want to bring ourselves here anymore...we took an order to go, when we got home one of our food items were missing, as well as my girlfriends food being completely wrong...we drove back an hr just to get told she's sorry and then she gave us the other bag that was for us from the counter which was sitting there since we left we asked if we could have anything for the inconvenience on their part but was refused anything read more

I went today to check it out because of these highly rated reviews. Well, It was meh, definitely one time type of place. I ordered spicy miso ramen and harimaki. Harimaki was 3 out of 10. The ramen was not what I expected. The broth wasn't rich or flavorful it was plain spicy broth. Service was good. I liked the waiter, he was very attentive and nice. But ramen itself not my fav. read more

If you are into Ramen it's good. They have some good selections too. I like their Edamame's the most.

I ordered the spicy chicken ramen. The ramen was really good! Broth was flavorful, noodles were cooked to perfection and it packed the perfect amount of spice! The only thing was the chicken wasn't tender. I'd probably try it with no meat next time. Service was good- the manager was polite. read more

Great customer service! The waitress was so nice and had a great energy. Nice and clean location. The food was good and satisfying

This is our favorite ramen spot! We used to drive across town for it but now we live much closer. Been coming here since their grand opening. Prices are good. Food is always delicious.

05/06/2024. Not my first time eating here but this time was disappointing. Got the Shrimp Tempura appetizer which was good. It was crispy and flavorful. Also got the Tonkotsu Ramen which has been tasty in the past. This time the broth had no flavor at all. It looked like bone broth but tasted like warm water. Never had this issue before at this place. Made for an awful bowl of Ramen. I should've went somewhere else. read more
