Every time I to this mom and pops style Japanese restaurant I always get served by really friendly waiters and waitresses. The food is also pretty decent being close by to my house. So, it has become one of my go-tos for local ramen! I recommend the spicy miso ramen and if you get there around lunch there's a lunch special that serve on top of your ramen, veggies, an egg roll, and two gyozas for about $17! read more

Today I was in the mood for ramen so wanted to try this place as its been a while. I ordered the spicy miso chicken skewer ramen and pork dumplings to-go. Evonne, the hostess was very pleasant and helpful in choosing the ramen options. The miso flavor was really tasty and good for the area. I like the simple Asian modern decor at this restaurant, nice vibes. I really had forgotten this place was back here because you can't see it from the street but easy to get to. Give it a try if you're craving ramen in Katy! read more

I came here on a whim for my lunch break and was pleasantly surprised with their lunch menu. I picked the beef ramen noodles and it came with a side salad, dumplings, and an egg roll. Although the ramen did not come in "spicy", the waiter was able to accommodate and bring spicy sauce on the side (including Buldak!). The restaurant was clean and seemed like a great place to have a mid day bite. read more

Broth was extremely bland...the aji rice..dont do it to yourself. Tasted old and dry. They burned my potstickers and wasabi steak. Once the waiter bring you your food you never see them again, They played top 40 music. So reminded me of a fast food place than an actual restaurant read more

I love it here. I always come here when I don't know what to eat. Every food in this restaurant is heartwarming and soooo good! Let's not forget about the servers..they are one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! The restaurant itself has very nice lighting and is usually very quiet if you find the right time to come.

Ordered the spicy miso ramen and it was so mid. It was not spicy AT ALL! Also the pork was so dry and did not taste good. Wish the broth had more flavor and spice. read more

I had visited the Tomball location but didn't really have a stellar experience, so I decided to come to this location since a lot of people visit this one. I ordered the same ramen, the aji tonkatsu. I thought it tasted a bit better and there seemed to be more in the bowl. My biggest complaint would be for the seasoned egg. Both my table mate and I agreed that it was barely seasoned and you could tell by the color of the egg white....it was nearly white! I also tried the ika sansai, spicy cucumber, and a side of the minced pork. I liked all of these. Overall, I just enjoyed this location more. read more

This is a hidden gem! Such a cozy and comforting spot, with some of the best food around at reasonable prices. We had the ribeye skewers, spicy edamame, chicken karage, and aji tonkotsu - all were phenomenal! we forgot to take pics, everything smelled too good to stop for pics. The chicken karage was juicy unlike most spots we have tried. Hospitality and atmosphere is a 10/10. read more

AJI Ramen - Chicken Skewer Ramen with Spicy Miso ( egg noodle) and I added an extra egg - Ramen Near Me - Katy, Texas

My go to ramen spot. The spicy miso is the best. I also get the karaage chicken every time. The restaurant is nice to sit in and dine in. I love eating ramen from my couch so I mainly get it to go. When I have eaten inside the service is friendly and attentive. read more

Had a good lunch on one of the weekends. I had the chicken skewer ramen which I thought was good and had a lot of ingredients. However, the chicken skewer as a little too grilled/burnt for me. We also had the purple yam cake and sweet potato tempura. I really like the purple yam cake, but the sweet potato tempura was a so so for me. It was not the orange sweet potato tempura that other restaurants serve, and it was also kind of hard so it was a bit difficult to chew. My mom had the Aji Tonkotsu, and she really enjoyed it. Staff was really nice and the restaurant is small but cute. Overall, it was a nice meal and I would like to visit again for the ramen. read more

Super cute ramen place! The employees are very nice and we were seated fast. Went here with a friend and the food was delicious. I will say this place is cheaper than most ramen places in the area but it is not lacking in any way. I had the Tonkotsu ramen and it is packed with so much flavor. I loved the broth; refreshing and creamy. Give this place a try! read more

S/o to Yelp for this find! 9/10! A gem if ya ask me :) Food: Tan Tan Ramen-- 8/10, if probably enjoy it more without the protein lol it was a little too much for me but the broth was A1! Egg Roll-- 10/10! Tasted extremely authentic & fresh omg. Chicken Karaage-- 10/10! The sauce they used was tooooooo good! I used the leftover to dip my egg roll in it and it paired perfectly. Gyoza-- 7/10, it was straight, I've had better. Drinks: Sake Bomb Special -- $2.95 Went on a random Wednesday around 8 o'clock and within 30 minutes there was no more seating. I'll definitely be back, they were too good!!! IG: @eatgoodtx Tiktok: @abidaremii read more

Have been going here the past 6 years, the food and service has always been amazing. I always order the kids bento box and pay the extra, such a good serving for the price. The sweet potato tempura, pork aji bun, karaage, and any ramen is always delicious read more

We used to drive to Spring to eat at their restaurant there. I'm so glad they opened one in Katy! My daughter is a picky eater and she likes their tonkotsu kid's ramen. My husband gets the spicy miso with chicken skewer and I get the tonkotsu ramen. I usually order a sweet potato tempura too. It is nothing fancy, but I like it as an appetizer. The spicy mayo that it comes with has a nice kick to it. Service is fast and nice. No complaints here, but we usually eat early and their is never a wait. I'm not sure how it is at peek hours. read more

They have amazing. Ramen service is always great and ambience is really cute. Probably some of the best Ramen I've had in Houston so far.

Good service (waitresses were super nice and patient). The ramen was very good (probably tied with Jinya as my favorite ramen place). My beef skewer was alright, chicken skewer was very good. Chicken karaage was good too. I like that they have a good size menu with vegetarian and vegan options as well so you can go here w/ people of different preferences and tastes! read more

Food here was pretty ok, it doesn't taste like authentic ramen though, it kind of had a chinese cuisine taste to the soup. Everyone had ramen and over all the food was ok. The one thing that was kind of disturbing is the odor coming from the restroom, you notice it immediately when you enter the restaurant. It kind of took away from the experience and you lose your appetite with that stench looming around the dining area. Staff was really nice and we enjoyed the music they were playing. We'll probably give this place another shot once they resolve that issue with the odor. read more

Above average spot for ramen in Katy. I came by with my friend a few months ago on a rainy day (AKA perfect ramen weather), and we had a really good time. As our appetizer we shared the edamame, and I really liked it, especially the sauce on top. I ordered the tonkotsu for my entree and enjoyed that as well. While there wasn't anything crazy unique about the tonkotsu here, it was a solid bowl of ramen. I did appreciate how they added a good amount of veggies. In the future, I might try another bowl to see how it compares and if the flavor stands out more. read more

So good. Did not disappoint. We started off with the sweet chili chicken karaage and gyoza. Both were so amazing we didn't get a photo. My husband had the Aji Tonkotsu Ramen, and I had the Tan Tan Ramen. Both were delicious. However, we both preferred the Tan Tan ramen which I got without corn. It was slightly spicy and so good. Our waiter's name was Jackie. He was very knowledgeable and helpful and recommended some things to us since it was our first time. We will definitely be back. read more

3.5 stars Spicy miso ramen $11.50- decided to come here because it's one of the more affordable ramen restaurants that's good. Today, the broth seemed a bit salty though. It was still flavorful, thick, and a tad spicy. Great portions too. I substituted the chashu with minced pork. Quick and friendly service. read more

Visited Aji Ramen and my girlfriend and I were pleasantly surprised. 10/10 Food: I ordered the Aji Tonkotsu and it was phenomenal. Very flavorful and the broth was great. My girlfriend ordered the chicken skewer Tonkotsu ramen and she loved it. We asked for Egg noodles instead of the wheat noodles and our server was very helpful in explaining the difference and recommending different menu items. Ambiance/Service: the ambiance of the restaurant is very homey and nice. They have great decor up and the tables are very spacious. The service was fantastic and we were very impressed with how fast and attentive the servers were. Verdict: 10/10 ramen joint. If you are looking for ramen in Katy, check Aji Ramen. read more

AJI Ramen - Left: Aji Tonkotsu ( egg noodle) Right: Chicken Skewe Tonkotsu (egg noodle) - Ramen Near Me - Katy, Texas

This place is ok... Initial waitress didn't seem to 100% understand me, but the service was really diligent and prompt. I would not recommend their gyoza. I tried the honey Wasabi ribeye. The meat was slightly livery tasting, but pretty tender. The Wasabi hits pretty hard in the nose initially. Not sure how much I liked it. They definitely have their own type of broth. Both tonkotsu and spicy miso were unlike any I've ever had. A lot of additions compared to other places like corn and seaweed. The egg had good flavor but was a little overcooked. The meat was more fat than anything, but there were 2 and they were large...lacked flavor though.. The tonkotsu kind of reminded me of the lipton creamy chicken soup? The spicy miso was slightly sour. Not bad...but not great either. Food came out a little too fast and makes the freshness a bit suspect. Portions are decent for the price. Probably will not come again. read more

Super friendly waitresses, delicious food, and modern, clean atmosphere. What else could you ask for. Prices are around $10-$14 per bowl. Everything here is packed full of flavor. My only complaint is I wish the dishes were bigger because my fat butt can't get enough of the food. Definitely a must try if you're in the area. Will not be disappointed. read more

Aji Ramen is my new favorite restaurant. We ended up coming here after discovering Jinya had an extremely long wait time, and I'm so glad it did because it pushed us to try this place. I've already been here a couple of times and I'm obsessed. Everything we have had here is good, from the gyoza to the ramen. I've had the Aji Tonkatsu and spicy Miso Ramen; they're both really good, but my favorite from the two is the Miso Ramen since I love spicy foods. Also, the kids chicken teriyaki meal is good as well (we got it for my boyfriends little brother); it comes with a lot of food (egg roll, gyoza, rice and chicken teriyaki.) Also, the service was really great; they always make sure your drinks are topped off and they're all really friendly. I definitely recommend trying Aji Ramen! read more

Flavor buds are screaming wow, after trying a $13 bowl Ramen last night while walking three blocks to get to it we decided to Trek to the Katy area and what a jewel we seem to have found. You might have to look a little hard from the street to notice that it's hidden almost in a corner of a strip joint but it's worth the find. We ordered the first Ramen that you see on the menu which all of them were only $10! Try going somewhere else, everybody wants to charge onward from $12 or something ridiculous for something not as savory as what we experienced here. I ordered the iced oolong tea which was definitely freshly-brewed and a good medium straight with a good tannan finish, you do not see this on many menus elsewhere. $2.50 The spicy edamame on the menu was $4 and had a good nice tap of spicy flavor without curling your taste buds into oblivion. And now for the best part, the ramen came out with a great presentation as looking like someone did not just throw stuff into the bowl and send it out. It might have contributed it to only about four tables being in here but the fact is this was a great visit and a great time to come in. Nothing was needed as far as adding any kind of spices, soy sauce or whatever. Probably one of the top five Ramen have ever tasted in my life, hopefully it was not a fluke definitely will be back here even though it's a 40 minute drive. Service was attentive, we really never had to becken about needing an iced tea refill and no smirks about asking for my iced tea to go. Another miniscule thing that could be looked all over, but not my me is the small laddle looking spoons. This is my favorite utensil of choice simply because this is the way that I think Ramen or any soups should be served, not with those American type soup spoons that barely can hold a wad of any spit but something you could actually let's you dig in at least whole ounce. Have you ever put your quarter in one of those crane machines and tried to play "place the noodle in your soup spoon without it falling out?" Yes that, you don't really have that problem with these. And the one thing that tipped us to five stars? $10! $10 for something that rivaled any Ramen that I've had that costed anywhere from $12 to even a $20 bowl we had a few weeks ago. Yes there is a place that charges $20 for a bowl. Another quality about this place that I liked is they do not blare techno Jam over the speakers so you not have to cringe at every sharp note that blast through like some other places I know, you could actually hold a decent conversation here without using your outside flea-market voice here. read more

Damn great ramen! That could really be all I have to say. The house Aji Tonkatsu ramen is just perfect -- I get extra Tomago (a soft-boiled egg). Good variety of ramen options (Miso, Tan Tan, Chicken, Vegan, etc) They also offer Rice dishes and the Japanese Robata or grilled meat. I feel like some of the Small Plates (appetizers) are a little over-priced; ex. "Jumbo Shrimp Tempura ($2.25/1 Pc)". I'm also not a fan of soft drinks by the can, in a sit down restaurant. Just get a fountain. Friendly attentive service. But, boy oh boy, the delicious ramen feeds the soul. read more

AJI Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Katy, Texas

No ramen for us today. We went with Robata for a table of 5. Not the most economical way to eat and our cheque was pretty big. Would suggest you stay with apps and mains. Located in what we thought was a seedy strip mall. The service was outstanding and we loved our server. She was attentive, funny, great with the kids and never made us wait for anything. The vibe is hip and even at 3pm the joint was hopping. We got most of the robata. The ribeye tataki was very rare. We did not care but the kids were weirded out. Hits were the salmon, chicken, karaage, takoyaki, and shitake. Family was divided in our opinion. What we did agree on was that the next time we come here we will do apps and ramen only. Not the robata route we took. read more

I felt like I was in a trance when I walked in, this place has a very relaxed feel to it, I also love the aesthetics & how well this restaurant was designed. Our server Uiki provided with one of the best services I've ever seen, she was very helpful & kind to us; Uiki deserves a promotion. I decided to order their gyoza as my appetizer & Aji Tonkotsu as my entree. Wow, their gyoza was freaking amazing, the outside had a very nice crunch & the meat inside was so moist & flavorful. My Tonkotsu was sensational, broth was clean & well seasoned. The chashu just melted in my mouth & the egg was made how I like it, which is runny. Overall from start to finish I just enjoyed everything about this place, Will I come back? You bet I will. read more
