    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!

    This place was absolutely amazing! We had the chefs special rolls and chicken ramen but added spicy and it was 10/10. The service was also outstanding. This is definitely going to be our go to ramen place.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

I decided to have small bites so broccolini and chicken bites. The broccolini was really good, it was topped with quinoa which I wonder is added for texture because it didn't add much to the actual meal but it still tasted good over all. The chicken bites were super hot and fresh. Much larger than I was expecting as well. I tried the kiwi mocktail drink which was pretty yummy as well.

    I had a great experience at ramen Tatsu-ya. It was my first time here & I was very impressed…read more I ordered the "mi-so-hot" & it was amazing. First - the ramen came out super fast. I was very surprised. And my broth was so delicious. It had such a rich umami flavor due to the miso & I thought the spice level was perfect. Honestly - I could eat jhst that broth for a whole meal. Unlike buldak or some other spicy ramens - the main selling point wasn't the spice. You could get an additional "spice bomb" if you wanted some more heat. The ramen toppings were good but not outstanding - same with the noodles. I thought the "mi-so-hot" was easily 3x better than "the og". The broth in "the og" was pretty interesting and more unique tasting. It felt like the main notes were just umami, pork, and oil. Not bad, but felt like it was missing a little something to make it truly good. If I had just got the OG, I'd rate this place a bit lower - but as it stands I'd 100% come back here for the "mi-so-hot" The interior was pretty nice. It was more "communal style seating" with a couple of big tables. There is also some smaller booths. It's an "order at the counter" type restaurant as well. I saw several comments about parking & was a bit concerned when driving over. I know that part of westheimer is always packed! But there is an attached parking lot & at 3pm on a Sunday, there was plenty of parking! Also - there is some street parking in the neighborhood north of the shop. Overall - will 100% be coming back for some more spicy ramen. Would recommend

Sushi Flight (6 Pieces, 4 Flavors) - Somehow 1,050 calories??? - Raw Salmon x2 - Strangely, I would have liked this colder. It was just okay. - Cooked Salmon x2 - I liked this a lot more than the raw salmon because it had a deeper flavor. - Scallops - Probably my favorite thing on this platter because of the smokiness they imbue with the torching. The sweet aftertaste was definitely worthwhile. - Shrimp - Not as fresh as I would have liked, as someone who's eaten a lot of shrimp, but I still liked the taste. Still, pretty mediocre. Tantan Tsukemen - Very interesting broth. Potent, salty, and full of bold flavor. My friend swapped the pork for chicken, and the chicken worked really well with the broth. They serve the chicken as a cold cut. This is a double-noodle dish with a soy milk-based dipping sauce. I normally would have ordered this because I LOVE tantan ramen, but I had to forgo it for the limited-time Creamy Truffle Ramen. Creamy Truffle Ramen - LOVED the broth. It was very light and creamy. I actually liked this a lot more than tonkotsu ramen. The truffle wasn't too overwhelming--just mild enough to hint at its flavor without becoming the only flavor profile you get. Truffle is like baking with rose water; finding that balance is quite hard. I will admit the whole table smelled like truffles, though. The torched king oyster mushroom paired wonderfully with the dish, and the broccolini was an equally interesting topping choice. I also found bits of melted Parmesan throughout the ramen, which the menu listed as an ingredient. The egg wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was still a decent soy egg. As I kept eating, the truffle oil became more intense, and the fattiness started to get a bit overwhelming without washing it down with water. Great flavor overall, but I think this dish is best paired with an appetizer to help cut through the richness. One of my favorite things about this place, which my BF mentioned, was the noodle texture. I noticed it too as I ate--a good bite with a slick texture that was just starchy enough to cling to the broth. We had leftover noodles from the Tantan Tsukemen at the end of the meal and ended up using the Creamy Truffle broth as a dipping sauce. Honestly, no regrets. The cold noodles didn't work quite as well in this dish, but the broth was definitely a banger. This was also the first ramen broth I couldn't finish but desperately wanted to bring home. (Obviously, I did.) Their to-go containers are surprisingly sleek, too. It's a weird thing to compliment, but I almost wanted to keep the container as much as the broth. Special comment on the utensils here--the soup spoons are ridiculously cute! Would love to have a similar set at home. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was thoughtful. The music wasn't too loud, and it wasn't that crowded for a Saturday night. They do play a lot of popular Japanese songs, so if you're an international music enthusiast, you'll appreciate hearing "Mayonaka no Door" by Miki Matsubara.

I chose the curry topping, and although it paired well with the pork and omurice, I found the complete bite lacking a bit of punch. So the dish itself was 4/5 for me. Maybe the sweet glaze would have helped bring the mouthful together - I'll try that next time! We also tried the purple yam fries (4/5) and they were nice and crispy. This place was pretty packed when we showed up on a Sunday evening around 7 pm. We ended up sitting at the bar, which had call buttons for service, ordering, check, etc. Overall service was good but the call button for the check didn't seem to work. Pressed it like 3 times in 10 min and no one seemed to get an alert so we just flagged someone down. The inside is pretty neat, with an upstairs and downstairs (as well as a bar area). They did a really good job maximizing their space. Definitely worth trying if you haven't had omurice before.

One waitress served everyone in the restaurant while I was there. She was speedy in taking and delivering orders. She seemed very nice! Food: ordered Tonkotsu Gachi and my mom ordered the yuzu. Food arrived very quickly, though we ordered no appetizers. The tonkotsu broth was rich and velvety in texture, but more like a mild umami in flavor. The chashu pork was pale, but melt in your mouth buttery and bursting with savory pork goodness! The marinated egg wasn't brought up to temperature with the broth -- a little cooler than room temperature, with a medium oozy yolk. It felt like the marinade penetrated all through to the yolk -- it was great! I welcomed the novel choice to use red onion over the usual scallions. It was a nice touch of color and brought in that bright, juicy onion flavor that I crave. Noodles were perfect texture. Not too hard or mushy. This bowl feels made to focus on the broth and flavor and not so much an instagram post. Delicious!! My only complaint was a very very very slight bitterness in the background. I couldn't pin where it was coming from. Maybe that's a risk of simmering bones for so long. I'll keep this short because I couldn't just eat my moms bowl... The Yuzu shio broth was clearer, with bright, citrusy, and savory body. The bamboo shoots were golden (grilled?) with a little snap to it. Reminds me of a king oyster mushroom. This is really a unique broth and I haven't had anything like it. You should definitely try it! Restaurant: clean, neat, every table literally has its place /orientation. Deep wood furniture, honeyed lighting, and dark window shades give the restaurant a cozy chic ambience despite visiting around noon. Good food, great service. Great prices. Large portions.
