i've been meaning to write this review for a while. this is legitimately the best ramen i've ever…read morehad in my life, and at a reasonable price. i generally get the hot spicy beef w/ ramen noodles, but have tried nearly every combination of meat, noodle, and even some of the non-noodle options such as the general tso's chicken. quick praise for the service, they're quite attentive and kind, always a pleasant experience dining here and love to see the family helping out within the restaurant. ramen: upon first impression, i was genuinely taken aback by how refreshing the broth was. i've tried ramen from many different cities and countries at this point and my general impression of ramen at sit-down establishments is that the broth tends to either skew towards being more umami, fatty, salty, or watery. typically, i wouldn't describe a standard broth as necessarily refreshing, rather satisfying, in a way that itches your typical ramen craving, but not one that leaves you feeling like you could drink this and feel rejuvenated on a hot day. this ramen's broth is refreshing. it's fresh, flavorful, not overly salty nor fatty, yet compliments the flavor of both the noodles, chili oil (optional), and toppings. when i'm away from college station, i genuinely crave this ramen, and from the texture of the noodle to the portion size, this is a 6 star ramen, a gem of college station, in my opinion. personally, i prefer the ramen noodle option over the rice noodle, but i have thoroughly enjoyed the variation of rice noodles with their seafood option. general tso's chicken: this once again is my favorite general tso's variation i've had from the many that i have tried as of yet. the chicken is crisp, flavorful, and the seasoning is very satisfying. as a pair with the fried rice, i would deduct a half point on account of wishing the chicken to rice ratio was more in favor of the chicken as the fried rice, while still excellent, is ever so slightly more peppery and soft than i prefer without the chicken to balance it out. this is a must-try in cstat. get the hot & spicy beef ramen or the chicken, put some chili oil on top of it. you won't regret it! quick note: the traditional crepe is quite expensive but i have heard a lot of praise for it from my chinese friends. eager to try that one day soon.

Came here for the first time with my family. We ordered what was recommended by the waitress and…read morethey were all delicious. We ordered the Spicy Beef Ramen Soup, Pork Chop Ramen Soup, Chicken Rice Noodle Stir-Fry, and the Beef Ramen Stir-Fry. We ordered Gyoza for appetizer and they were also crunchy and flavorful. We ordered Thai Tea, but it didn't taste good, like it was watered down. We originally got sent milk tea instead and we thought this was the grossest Thai Tea, but we found out later on that we were given milk tea instead lol. Either way, they both didn't taste good. Portions were all pretty decent for the price. The staff are friendly and fast. Small one way parking lot. Lots of tables to dine on.

Overall great experience. Went here for date night after craving some noodles, and found ourselves…read moretrying this place for the first time. Our waitress was good, checked on us a couple times. The inside of the resteraunt is small but has a resemblance of what a ramen place would look like in Japan/Asia. (If you're gluten-free, there is only ONE option - the Rockin Yummen has rice noodles for GF). We ordered a set of chicken egg rolls and a set of pork egg rolls. Each of them came with 3, and a sweet/sour sauce which wasn't too bad. The rolls were very fresh in flavors and the filling, will definitely get those again. We both the Miso Ramen with chicken (made it spicy - have to ask for that one to be specifically made be spicy, its optional), and the Curry Men. This was my first time having ramen, so I went with the Miso and spicy and it was delicious. Although I wasn't a fan of the sesame seeds, the soup had a really good flavor, the spicy was a good back-of-the-throat spice level, and the veggies were good. I wish it came with more veggies as I'd prefer more veggies than protein, it was a good first experience of ramen. He got the Curry Men, and that was absolutely delicious. The broth was so flavorful and tasted just like a very thin layer of curry in a brothy state. We'd both get that one again when we go. Plus they came in the actual ramen bowls, which was pretty cool to try out. Ended up being enough for us to have leftovers for one meal for how big the servings were.

My daughter and I had lunch here on a recent Saturday. The restaurant is located between the…read morenorthbound I-35 service road and Mays St. just south of Old Settler's Blvd. There's plenty of nearby parking on 2 sides of the restaurant's corner location. Ramen Tatsu-ya is a local chain where ordering and payment are done as you enter and food is brought to your table. The atmosphere is clean and spare, but you're not likely to linger in the hard, flat wood seats, many of which are backless. Obviously, the main attraction is Ramen, and theirs is excellent. I've found the full size bowls (which currently start at $13.50) to be too much food for lunch. Today I ordered a chashu rice bowl, which worked out just right given my daughter and I shared a portion of edamame. I also tried their Kagoshima Sakura sweet tea. While it was good, I thought the tea was a bit weak and it was hard to justify the price. Even with its limited menu and less than comfortable seating, this is a place I could eat at several times a week and still enjoy the experience.

The restaurant itself has a really cool atmosphere, and it's always clean and inviting. Every employee I've interacted with has been genuinely friendly and welcoming, which makes me want to keep coming back. If you're looking for great ramen, especially if you're vegetarian, I definitely recommend giving this place a try.

1. Service - our waitress was amazing. She was friendly, and she was always there to make sure we…read morewere doing ok. I'm proud that they have servers of this caliber at Asian restaurants in Houston, TX. Usually you see professional servers at upscale restaurants. There was a busboy there towards the end, and even he was super professional. Whoever the manager is at this location, you guys are doing an outstanding job training the staff here. Keep up the good work! 2. Price - about $15/bowl. 3. Ambiance - The decor here is beautiful. There are natural lighting from the front, with wood panels everywhere, lanterns hung high. They did a nice job decorating the place and you definitely feel as if you're in Japan somewhere. 4. Food - This is where this place shines compare to all the ramen places in Houston. They have the option of low sodium broth. I took one sip, and it felt like home cooked Ramen. I'm not talking about instant ramen that you buy from the store, but the ramen made from scratch. I often go to ramen places in Houston and I dread going because I know how salty they taste. There are 2 other locations I have in mind in Houston that are also my favorites. But I would say this is not bad compared to the bowl of ramen I had in Narita, Japan. If you're wondering what I've ordered, it was the CHICKEN RICH RAMEN and make sure to request for low sodium. 5. Cleanliness - Dining area is well kept, clean, and the busboy is on top of things. The restroom is questionable. The personal restroom doors are hard to close and lock. For management, have a look at the restrooms and see if you can improve things. SUMMARY: I would definitely come back. It is just THAT GOOD!

Great Ramen Place!…read more Overall this place is beyond my expectations. Their broth is the shining star of their menu. Perfectly balanced umami and savory with rich aftertastes. With adjustable spicy level (they blend the hotness and soup base flavor really well) and wonderful Chashu (the thick one), their soup base is one of the best I ever had in US. The texture of noodles is similar to other ramen shops, nothing too special. Servers are very friendly and professional. The establishment is well organized and furnished. Portion wise a little small, feel a little pricy but worth the taste and service!

This is a high four star review - HIGH. ALMOST there to 5!…read more Fatty salmon and scallion roll all day long. Delicious and buttery and so fresh. Huge pieces of fish and the nicely wrapped roll. We also got the salmon roll, tuna roll, spicy yellowtail roll, gyoza, and the Hamachi Kama. Salmon and tuna rolls were plump pieces of fish and nicely wrapped. I love that there was plenty of fish in them instead of primarily rice. Spicy yellowtail roll was also very fresh and delicious. Nice and simple but fresh and tender. Gyoza were deep fried, but I wish they were more traditionally cooked which is pan fried - the softness of the dumpling and crunchy bottom is what I love about gyoza, but when deep fried it is all crunch and not as tender. The Hamachi Kama was the star. The moment it hit the table with the bowl of rice, it was game over. I was gnawing on the fin just to get some more of that tender fish. I love it when it is seasoned simply with sauce on the side. Perfectly seasoned and delicious - the fatty parts are my favorite. It also came with rice which my kiddo loved. I also enjoy that they put all the sushi on the platter a with garnish and even a color changing light! Little things like this presentation really make a difference, and it was great! The service was lovely. The gentleman at the front was so kind and appreciative. Each staff member we met was kind and welcoming. I would love to see a few more fresh fish rolls, but all together, we would definitely come back to Bluefin any day of the week. Lovely service, fresh fish, fish-forward rolls and wonderful presentation!
