    The meaning of the restaurant's name

    Komeya looks like a typical hole-in-the-wall restaurant from the outside, but on the inside , Komeya has lovely Asian decor and great AC. The employees are kind and patient. There's decent space inside, but not suited for large gatherings. The location is a little difficult to find. Komeya is crammed into a small business strip next to a busy street. Parking may be difficult. Their menu is 90% sushi, but they have other dishes. Their ramen and rice bowls are excellent. Every day, Komeya has a different special of the day, food they don't typically serve on their menu like Korean fried chicken wings or fried mochi with banana for example. Prices aren't too bad. I wouldn't recommend the green curry ramen. It didn't remind me of Asian curry and it lacked flavor, though the chicken in my green curry ramen was seasoned and cooked to perfection. My big brother and his wife are sushi fanatics. They would love to come by here!

    I love love this place. We come here once every two weeks. The kemah roll is my favorite. Sushi is delicious, so is the ramen. Service is always on point. Great for lunch or a date.

    Food is fantastic. We love the beef ramen and all the sushi rolls. Servers are friendly. Casual hidden gem!

    Overall impression: kind of just ok Average price:15-25/person Food My ramen was just okay. Nothing special. The edamame tasted a tad bit old. The chirashi cuts were pretty bad. Looked like they were done with a hacksaw. And the quality was not great. Ambience: Nothing wrong with this Service: We had a server that didn't seem to be that great with people. He also didn't seem to know much about the menu and couldn't answer any questions very well. Value As you can tell from above, not too impressed.

    Normally when I order it is perfect. Today I ordered on DoorDash (just chicken, noodles and meat) I was given everything else.

    Ordered just meat, noddles and broth. Received everything else. Ordered from DoorDash, would still expect the business to read the full order. Ive spent the last 5 minutes picking off everything I didn't order.

    RA1. Original Tonkotsu Ramen

    I had this place bookmarked for sometime and I finally had the chance to go check it out! Never judge a book by its cover because it was tucked away in a corner somewhere. The inside is so cute. Very well decorated and quaint! Reminds me of many ramen places in Asia. I love the atmosphere. Now, the food. My husband and I ordered a couple items off their menu and we loved some, liked some and some were just okay. My husband was blown away by their original tonkatsu ramen (5/5), I also had a couple sips and bites here and there and their flavors are rich and cooked nicely together. Salmon sushi: 3.5/5, I liked it a lot but it wasn't mind blowing. Does taste fresh but something was off about it. Can't put my finger on it. Smoke salmon sushi: 4/5, this one was better! Maybe because it was smoked salmon and the flavors balanced well here. Komeya roll: this one was both of our favorite. 5/5. The crunch and flavors balanced each other out perfectly. Space center roll: 3/5. I feel like this one was just there for aesthetic. The taste however, was just so so. My husband ordered the shrimp and veggie tempura (4/5). He really liked it but the shrimp was just okay. Lastly, I had the escolar sashimi, (4/5) I like their take on this. They dressed it with their sauces and sprinkled some flavor on top. However, if everything was taken away and it was just the fish, it was a bit chewy and the cut was a little awkward, so the additions to the sashimi was a good choice. Place was super cute and filled up quickly. We'll come back to try their other ramens and rolls out another time. I'm glad I came here today! It was a nice find!

    Really outstanding ramen especially for the price! I had the black tonkotsu which was really flavorful. My partner had the curry chicken and really loved it as well. Prices are really reasonable ~$13 for a bowl. I've had $20 ramen that wasn't as good. The amount of food was good but if you're super hungry I'd recommend adding an appetizer. They also have happy hour all day Sunday! Service was exemplary and food came out fast. Plentiful parking. Cute interior inside.

    It has been awhile since I've eaten inside Komeya, I usually order it on DoorDash for pick up. And I was always pleased with the quality of the packaging and the food. Today we decided to dine there. It's a small place but not crowded. The decor is fun and authentic. Our server was so nice and helpful when ordering. Tonight we came for the sushi/ sashimi and rolls. My son ordered ramen as well which he really enjoys. The food also came quickly. I have to say we were not disappointed. The sushi pieces were delicious, quality fish and the slices were generous. Same goes for the sashimi , the salmon , ocean trout, yellow tail were our favorites for sashimi and sushi but they have many selections to choose from. My husband loves the California rolls and the shaggy dog. The Texas roll was yummy as well. We will definitely be back . If you live in the area definitely come and give it a try for ramen and sushi .

    The food here is delicious! Our favorite is the chicken ramen and shaggy dog! It's such a treat coming here, and the staff is always so kind!

    Boutique space. If you like basic ramen and not a lot of stuff in your ramen, this is your place. I like how they do the pork chasu for the tonkotsu black ramen. Asked my waitress for seasoning to top my edamame, she brings back a brown sauce. I've asked five times and still cannot get the name, but she stated the owner makes it in-house. Tried asking to buy a bottle (yes it was that good y'all), bur she said he does not sell it. He should; it was that yummy!!!!

    The sushi is always perfect and so is the Ramen! Been here many times and recommend to all my friends!!

    The atmosphere is so cute, I felt like I was at a ramen stall in Japan. The staff is so warm and welcome. Pus the ramen is insanely good for the price, better than some $20 bowls that I've had.

Flying V Harvest was fantastic. I drank that broth like I just came out of the Sahara. So good. The Impossible meat fusion is a funny add but a good protein bump. It was a few days ago but I think I'm still full from that ramen bowl. The vibe is modern high ceiling bumping music; my in-laws found it to be too loud. I think they are giving you an excuse to lean in and get a little closer to your companion. The vibe is chic yet also casual so bring whoever you want but this would work for date night. The font on the menus is squint inducing so do your research ahead of time or prepare to spend more time perusing the menu than usual, especially with the dim lighting. They offer thin or thick noodles and can mix some broth options to adjust spice level. Drinks- the smoked in front of your face whiskey is a treat and a show. Solid spot. No regrets. Salivating at the thought of the next visit.

    We decided we wanted ramen on a recent cold Houston night and went to one of our consistent places,…read moreJINYA. JINYA is located in the heart of midtown in a popular restaurant strip. Their ramen is flavorful and solid and their service is consistent. Parking: parking is free in the garage around the corner from JINYA. We went during the week and the garage was not packed. There's also paid street parking around the restaurant that you can find but look for signs to know when you have to pay and when you don't. Service: service here is very good. They have an army of waitresses and waiters who check on tables and we never had to ask for refills or never had to flag down someone. Our food came out in a timely manner. The one thing I will say about service is the appetizers we ordered came out right before our ramen so we had all of our food at one time which was a lot. I wish they would've spaced out the food timing a little more. Ambiance: JINYA has a modern interior and open concept. They have tables, booths, and 2 big community tables in the center of the restaurant. The restaurant playlist is hip and modern. The inside of the restaurant is dimly lit so if you have bad eyesight, get ready to use your flashlight to read the menu. Food: we ordered two ramens and the gyoza and edamame. Gyoza: these were fried well and had a gyoza sauce that came on the table. The wrapper was thin and they were not too oily. We would order this again. Edamame: this was typical edamame. Nothing too special. Would not get this again when we come back. Creamy Classic Tori-Paitian: this is a chicken ramen with wavy noodles that came with fried enoki mushrooms, chicken chasu, butter, spinach and a corn rib. This ramen was rich in flavor and had so many fun, delicious toppings. The corn run was grilled nicely and I wish I had more of them in my bowl. I'm a sucker for enoki mushrooms and this did not disappoint. I took the enoki mushrooms out of the ramen immediately so they didn't get soggy fast and that was the move if you want the mushrooms to stay crunchy. The chicken broth was rich and light which was a great combo. I finished this bowl to the last drop. JINYA Chicken Ramen: my girlfriend got the chicken ramen with a side of bamboo. Warning on the bamboo: the bamboo comes dressed in sesame oil and sole hot oil so they are a little spicy. The chicken ramen broth was once again rich with flavor and light. The chicken chase was good and this ramen comes with thin noodles instead of wavy noodles. Overall JINYA hits the spot when craving ramen or some hot soup on a cold day. The chicken broth is legit and I will be closing back to try the pork broth soon. My only qualm with JINYA is the price at over $17 per bowl of ramen. There are cheaper ramen places but JINYA flavor makes up for the priciness.

We arrived around 5:40pm on a Friday night and there was plenty of seating. However, by the time we finished around 6:30pm the restaurant was bustling. The waiter told us he expected a very busy evening. Chicken karaage arrived first and was done very nicely. The exterior was super crispy and the inside juicy and moist. Yum. I was seriously tempted to order another plate since it only came with 6-7 pieces. Next, all the ramens came out. I got the shoyu truffle which I enjoyed a lot. I liked that you can taste the truffle flavor without it being overpowering. Also liked that the broth itself wasn't as salty as some ramen places. Noodles were al dente and all the toppings were tasty! Loved that the char sui actually had a good amount of lean meat versus it being mostly fat. The char grilled bamboo shoots were a nice touch as well. I tried my son's tonkotsu shoyu and enjoyed it too. I think my least favorite was my husband's tonkotsu gachi ramen, but he enjoyed it. Overall had a very good experience and look forward to coming back!

I was excited to stop in and try it on a Monday around 1pm. The inside of the restaurant is really nicely done. It has a bar area and tables. I was sat at a table. The ordering system is through a QR code. It was fine and I paid with Apple Pay. You can also type in your credit card. I chose the tonkatsu ramen with the lunch special add on of pork and rice for 3.90. The ramen was a 7/10 for me. The egg, the pork and the broth lacked flavor. The flavor on the pork in the rice dish was better, but the rice was overcooked and mushy. I gave up on my bowl about halfway through and left unsatisfied. I don't think I'll be back.

It is next to mensho but the line is much shorter. I will say the system for their waiting list is a bit confusing. You are supposed to put your name on the list and then probably leave or form a queue. It wasn't very clear so we stood by the list until we were called. The menus are printed on soft vinyl-like paper, kind of like a photo book. It set the tone for the decadent meal! When we sat, we immediately received cucumber salad and potato salad as an appetizer. They had a few donburis, sizzling plates, and ramens. I chose a donburi as I feel it is relatively uncommon to find donburi in Japanese restaurants in Houston. It was so good!

They deserve 4.5 stars because come on it's 24/7 ramen. Parking is cool but limited. First impression walking in was that it has this really unique and dope vibe. I love the set up and it was giving spacious. There were cassette tapes aligned on the wall in the booth we sat in, which I thought was very creative.

We ordered the Super Saiyan Nachos as an appetizer for $16. Maaann, these were so delicious!!!!! We actually substituted the pork for shiitake mushrooms and when I tell y'all we were surprised at the portion We both looked at each other like "YAAASSSSSS" Next came our Ramen orders which didn't take long at all. Not that we were counting because we were INDULGED in those nachos LOL Babii rated her Oxtail Ramen a '7/10' for $25. She would've preferred to get shiitake mushrooms because she particularly didn't like the fact that the Oxtails were shredded and not on the bone (which is what we both expected when reading it). She also would've liked if they gave her a spice option since she likes spicy ramen. Unfortunately, we had to purchase a nasty 'Kappa' sauce which was not worth the $1.50. To her the portion size was A1, however we paid for the meat so it wasn't worth the $25. Now, the Vegetable Garden to me was a '8.5/10' it was good, had amazing portion size and they were not lacking in the texture department. I mean, the spinach noodles were delish, vegetable cooked very Al dente. I cannot complain on that part. To me it was missing a bit of flavor, maybe salt would've done the trick. Overall though, it did have the flavor of the mushrooms which wasn't bad. Most importantly though, I felt light after consuming my meal. Therefore, I have to give it all a high rating. GO TRY THIS PLACE OUT, ITS WORTH THE TRY
