I saw this place featured on social media, and it did not disappoint! It's such a cute spot -- they really put thought into the layout, and it definitely draws people in. We were seated right away, and the service was very quick. We ordered the chicken ramen, and it was delicious. My daughter really enjoyed her food as well, which is always a win! Honestly, the highlight is just eating there -- the atmosphere makes it such a fun experience. It's definitely more than just a meal; it's the whole vibe. read more

Love this place! The honeycomb booth is super cute and somehow soundproof so you don't hear the other tables at all. each table has a button to order and pay. Service is crazy fast even during busy times. the noodles are perfectly chewy and the broth is packed with flavor. I usually don't like miso ramen but theirs in amazing. definitely will come back to try more Tokyo tonkotsu 10/10 Miso Ramen 10/10 Yakitori platter 7/10 (very salty) read more

The honeycomb design inside initially caught my attention after seeing some videos on social media. The vibe was nice and cozy inside, and seating was quick, even on a weekend. Service was very good as well. The appetizers and non-ramen dishes I tried were great. Fluffy and flavorful omurice and tender, crispy tonkatsu. The ramen is what most would come for, and it was very good as well. I do wish the amount of toppings would've been more generous, but that seems to be a reoccurrence in most ramen places I've been to. I definitely had to get an extra order of chashu pork, which added to the already higher-end price point. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and another ramen spot to add to my ever expanding rotation. read more

Kyuramen - Houston - Tonkotsu ramen and fried pork cutlet - Ramen Near Me - Houston, Texas

The honeycomb seating was what initially drew me to this ramen place. We don't see a lot of ramen places in Chinatown, so it was exciting to hear about their opening. We didn't try this place until recently due to long lines in the past. We both ordered number 1 - Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu, one with black garlic and the other white garlic, for flavor comparison. The black garlic made the broth more fragrant while the white garlic flavor was more subtle. The flavor of the broth was rich, meat was tender, and ingredients were fresh. I do enjoy thin ramen noodles but prefer a different kind/texture. The cherry blossom dessert was delicious and refreshing! Staff was attentive and professional. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here! read more

Saw this place on tiktok and wanted to check out the unique Honeycomb seating. Overall, the vibes of the restaurant are very nice. There's also private booths that you can sit in if you'd like. The service was a little slow considering how empty it was when we came. And the rice and dessert was a little bland compared to what I'm used to. But the ramen and honeycomb platter was delicious, which I suppose makes sense for a Ramen shop. There are many more things on the menu to try so I will be back. read more

Date night done right. My husband and I checked out Kyuramen in Houston on a Saturday evening and honestly? Worth every minute of the wait. We waited about 25 minutes, which felt very reasonable given the time and day. They don't take reservations unless your party is over six, but the flow was smooth and well-organized. Based on availability, you can choose between eating in a hive-style booth or a private room, we opted for the private booth and absolutely loved it. The setup is chef's kiss: curtains that fully close, a button to call your server, and excellent soundproofing. Even though the booths are back-to-back, you can't see or hear anyone else. It felt intimate, cozy, and intentionally designed for conversation perfect for a date night. I ordered the Flank Steak Ramen (a special at the time we went) which came with a choice of a custom deck of playing cards or a tote bag (fun touch!), a Chicken Bao Bun, and Thai Iced Tea. FIRST OF ALL hands down the best Thai tea I've ever had. Balanced, creamy, not overly sweet. My husband had the Pork Tonkotsu Ramen, a Pork Bao Bun, and the House-made Lemonade (refreshing with a subtle cucumber twist that elevated it beyond a standard lemonade). Every bite was flavorful, rich, and thoughtfully prepared. The ramen was deeply comforting without being heavy, and the bao buns were soft, pillowy, and perfectly filled. For dessert, we shared the Matcha Tiramisu and let me just say, that decision was immediately regrettable . It was smooth, not too sweet, and beautifully balanced with the matcha. I was already planning my own order for next time. Beyond the food, the service was warm and attentive, and the entire experience felt elevated without being pretentious. This is absolutely a place I want to come back to, whether for another date night or when friends are visiting. Thoughtful design, excellent food and drinks, and a calm, intimate atmosphere make Kyuramen a standout in Houston's dining scene. Would happily return (and not share dessert next time). read more

Compare to their Massachusetts location, this location is much more esthetically pleasing to the eyes starting from in front of their door to inside. I didn't have to wait on a Friday lunch time. As I was leaving, I noticed the wishing tree towards the back and I wished I would have at least ask if I can write something to hang up there. Perhaps, next time or someone let me know if you can. Servers are friendly and I felt bad that they had to go up and down the stairs, carrying all those stuff with tiny steps. #1 Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu Ramen - I got it with black garlic for an extra $1. The ramen itself was okay. It wasn't the best I haver ever had but not the worst. Broths is not bad. I didn't taste much garlic as black garlic supposed to have a more potent taste to it compare to their white garlic. Ramen itself has a slight chew texture. Also, I drink the whole thing and got to the bottom of the bowl to only get a "thank you" in Japanese. lol. If you're lucky, you can get a free ramen bowl. Good luck! Pork Tonkatsu Omurice Combo - got this with curry sauce and Amazing Lemonade. Amazing Lemonade is delicious and refreshing! Highly recommend if you like lemonade with cucumbers. You can actually taste the cucumbers. Curry sauce is delicious with soft fluffy omuirce and side of fried chicken. Pour curry sauce over it, *chefs kiss.* rice and pork was perfectly cooked. It's not dry but not extremely moist rice either. Just right. To me, prices are moderate. Maybe slightly higher than other places but you're also paying for the ambiance. At least it's not one of those places that's just for all ambiance. The drinks and food are not bad and worth it. It's definitely a unique restaurant. read more

Kyuramen is the only restaurant I know of that serves this style of soft fluffy omurice in the Houston area. I love the interior decors, and their service has always been good. I've been going to them since they first opened. I've never had an issue with the wait times, even on the weekends, but that's because I don't always choose to sit inside the honeycomb booths. I have eaten both in person and to-go so many times, and their quality has always been consistent. Their menu has changed since they first opened, and they've added more options to their menu since. I've tried most of their menu over the years, but my favorites are definitely the Pork Tonkatsu Omurice with curry sauce, the Black Garlic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, the Okonomiyaki, the Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly, and the Thai Iced Tea. I really love how their ramen broths are flavorful but not salty, and their pork tonkatsu is fluffy, crispy, and easily my favorite out of everywhere else I've tried. For their omurice, the fried rice is okay (a bit light on the chicken), and I prefer the curry sauce (light but flavorful) over the demiglace (a bit bland). Okonomiyaki is one of my favorite Japanese dishes, and this one from Kyuramen is delicious, saucy, and flavorful. I love their Thai Iced tea because it's not too sweet and goes well with the foods, and their Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly is so refreshing and not too sweet. The price range here is a bit higher than typical ramen places around town, but the experience and foods are definitely worth it. Photos are from my various trips. read more

Went for dinner around 7pm. It's in Asia town so tons of options around. No reservations accepted. We were able to sit in the honeycomb booths. Kinda cool but very uncomfortable. Their is no back to rest against because it slants away. The atmosphere is cute but nothing to rave about. They have private eating areas with curtains. There is a call button anytime you need a server. The ramen was average. My friend got the pork belly ramen and it had at least 18 million cupfuls of bonito flakes. She scooped out 3 plate fulls. Not great. I had the vegetable ramen with veggie broth. Tasted a little bland. The matcha tiramisu was good. The cherry blossom jelly was interesting. The ramen was mediocre. Probably won't go back again. read more

So lovely! What a nice spot. The service was excellent too! I had intended to go to neighboring Paik's Noodles - but forgot they are closed on Tuesdays. Stopped in for lunch. This is that "honeycomb ramen place" that you've seen on social media. I ordered the Pork TonKatsu Omurice which came with a choice or Curry Sauce or Demi Glacé; and either a Thai Iced Tea of Lemonade. The waiter sliced the steaming, fluffy omelette at the table. The pork cutlet was hot and crispy. I will definitely be back to try the ramen! The nice thing about the shopping center where the restaurant is located -- is that it's on the fringe of the hectic busy part of the Bellaire/Chinatown District. Parking was easy. read more

Such a fun ramen spot! Their interior is absolutely beautiful. Their menu was jam packed with ramen, sides, apps, rice burgers, omurice, etc. Their combo offerings are well priced. The ramen itself was intensely flavored. Thai tea was decent. One of our bowls had a red sticker on the bottom which meant we won a free drink at our next visit. Good excuse to come back! read more

Although the interior of this Kyuramen location is so beautiful, the ramen itself is pretty standard. I absolutely love the giant honeycomb that you can sit in and the Shin Chan decor at the host desk! During this visit, I was sat in the booths that have little curtains for privacy, which I also thought was a nice touch perfect for two chismosas/gossips (like my friend and I) catching up over ramen. I got the Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, which I thought was just okay. The flavor of the broth was nothing special in comparison to other spots I've been to. I did enjoy the tenderness of the pork chashu. Honestly, "mid" just comes to mind when I think of this bowl of ramen. The flavor was okay but it was good enough that I ate the whole bowl and felt satisfied.. This spot has the buttons where you can call the servers over to your table which is one of my favorite things a restaurant can have. Regardless, the servers were so sweet and would check up on us periodically to make sure we were satisfied with our meal. read more

I tried the omelette dish, it had two different gravies to choose from for the curry.The portion size was huge. I eat a lot and I think it could be shared between two people, I could barely finish it myself. I do want to try their ramen next time. The atmosphere is really unique. It has like honey-comb seating. Whenever I went the honeycomb spots were taken but they also had bench private like tables. The service was what was expected and they poured the gravy on for me! I thought it was pretty cool for them to pour the gravy on it for me. It was visually pleasing. read more

Update: After checking my receipt again, I realized that one of the items (Matcha pudding) included in the combo was missing from my order. I didn't notice at the time since everything else was great, but I wanted to mention it here. Hopefully, it was just an oversight. Still, I really enjoyed the visit and look forward to coming back! I had previously visited a Kyuramen in New York, but it was a takeout order, and I wanted to enjoy the full dining experience. Yesterday, I visited this location in Houston with my family, and from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles and seated quickly (there were three of us). I already knew what I wanted: #6 Kyushu Spicy Tomkotsu ramen, the dish I hadn't been able to try during my first visit. My family decided to explore the menu, and they both enjoyed their choices. At the table, there was a button on the wall for service needs, and someone came to assist us right away. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and the service was excellent. This will become one of my go-to spots! read more

The interior design of Kyuramen is quite interesting. While I like the idea of the honeycomb seating, I don't think it's very practical. The steps leading up to them were narrow and steep for just the customers and it looked difficult to navigate for servers with their hands full of food. The combo seemed like a great deal - $52.99 for a tonkotsu ramen, miso ramen, popcorn chicken, 2 desserts (cherry blossom jelly & matcha pudding with red bean), and iced thai tea and lemonade (we got 2 Thai teas). Everything was delicious. My only qualm is I wish the popcorn chicken came with some sort of sauce because it was a little dry by itself. read more

My husband and I got a ramen each and omurice. Our ramen's broth were very rich. Normally when I get ramen from other restaurants, I have to order extra protein, but the protein here was the perfect amount for the noodles. The omurice was very moist, but the pork tonkatsu was a bit too dry to my liking. However, when I added the sauce, it tasted so much better. My favorite thing there was the amazing lemonade. If you get a chance to dine here, I highly recommend it!! The service was good, there's a call button you press any time you need a server. The restaurant itself was cool! We sat at the honeycomb booth. Even though the space was small, adding stairs allowed for more room to dine in the restaurant. I'd recommend eating here at least once! read more

While the ambiance is cute and the service is nice. The 3 stars was due to the menu not having all of the necessary indications or descriptions of meals. I am referring to the demi-gloss for the omelette. I was curious was in the rice so I googled their menu and found out that the Demi-gloss was beef & pork while the rice was chicken fried rice. The physical menu doesn't indicate any of that which is unfortunate. It was a big deal to me since I do not eat pork so information like that is important. Also the Thai tea is watered down which is gross read more

Great place for ramen with a nice aesthetic!! Boyfriend and I came here for some dinner and we absolutely loved it. They do not take reservations and because everyone usually wants to have a seat in the hexagon pods, there's a bit of a wait. We waited about 25-30 mins to get seated. The other dining tables were not as much of a wait, and the bar had seating right away. I had a chicken ramen bowl and added spice (spiciest level), and he had the teriyaki beef rice burger with a side of purple sweet potatoes. We both loved our food options. Mines could have been a bit spicier but overall it was good. The amazing lemonade was refreshing and tasty. The service was also great and everyone was sweet. They have a button at the table to call for service and the check which was great. Parking of course is available since it's a part of the shopping center lot.

Came in for a date on wed, was seated in the honeycomb Dress code: casual Food 4/5: we got the yinyang ramen, purple sweet potato fries, yakitori platter and eel kamameshi. Ramen didn't really wow us but was pretty good and it was nice to try 2 different kinds. Fries and yakitori were excellent, wasn't really a fan of the sweet egg in the kamameshi but that's a personal taste thing. Eel was tasty but I wish the skin was crispy. Ambiance 5/5: amazing ambiance in the honey comb, very romantic Service 4.5/5: overall helpful and friendly, can be a little slow at times to respond to their buzzer to call them but generally no issues Value 4.5/5: amazing ambiance and good food for a good price. I've been here 3 times and will be back. Overall 4.5/5: pretty good food with cool unique ambiance at a good value. Have to get there early for the honey comb seating but their private booths look quite nice too. Parking: massive parking lot. read more

I tried to go early to get honeycomb seating. I only had to wait for 5 minutes and the host didn't judge me for being excited to get cool seating. We ordered 2 ramens, tempura shrimp, fried dumplings, and the Japanese omelette. Every was good, but my rice and omelette came out cold, when the ramen got cold - it didn't taste as good. The amazing lemonade was just ok. I would recommend this place and return. It's a nice experience. read more

If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine and enjoy restaurants with a fun, distinctive vibe, this spot deserves a visit. My wife and I first came in for the ramen, which is easily some of the best we've had in Houston, but we've kept coming back because everything on the menu delivers. The flavors are bold, the portions are solid, and the quality is consistently impressive. The ambience has its own personality -- lively, a little different from your typical Japanese restaurant, and it really adds to the experience. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. They're knowledgeable, engaging, and always ready to explain dishes or make recommendations. You can tell they enjoy what they do, and that energy makes every visit better. Overall, it's become one of our go‑to spots for a great meal and a great time. read more

It goes without saying that the restaurant interior is beautiful! The honeycomb wall table I was at only sat two people - not sure if larger groups would be able to sit in the honeycomb, if that's what you're coming for. Will comment that there was an odd smell that I've noticed in a few restaurants around the Bellaire area... only noticeable when you first walk in though. The service is super quick, you can call your waiter using a button at the table and I don't think I ever waited more than a minute for someone to come by. Everyone was kind and efficient. Takoyaki - copious amounts of dried squid on top, with an average amount of sauce and octopus filling. It's always good, but not the best I've had. Black garlic tonkotsu ramen - broth and noodles were delicious, but lacked a strong black garlic flavor (I'm a big garlic lover). I ended up asking for extra black garlic sauce, which took it to the perfect level. There's also three kinds of spice powders at the table; the Sichuan one wasn't super spicy and I didn't notice much of a difference. Eel kamameshi - the eel was delicious! Very small bones which I found easy to get past. Lots of rice to go with it. Beautiful presentation! Omurice - the infamous dish. Presentation was perfect, from the egg cut to the sauce. The textures were so satisfying. Flavor was average, but I don't have any comparisons since this was my first time having omurice. Matcha tiramisu - a bit liquidy for a tiramisu, but strong matcha flavor and decent amount of matcha cake. Make sure to mix in the matcha powder on top - I almost cinnamon-challenged myself at the table while accidentally inhaling the matcha at the top as I was taking my first bite! Overall, a beautiful restaurant with average food. However, I'll give them 4 stars for the wide selection of options and the great service. But probably best visited for the ambience! read more

We went on a Tuesday night and was seated right away. At first glance, it looked super cool and very similar to places in Japan! We sat at a booth that was stacked on top of each other shaped similar to honey comb. The table is enough space for eating and there is a call button for your server to take your order, get the bill, etc. A lot of options on the menu (not just ramen), but we both ended up ordering the spicy tonkotsu ramen (spicy). They have 2 levels for spice: spicy and hot. The broth is flavorful and not that spicy in my opinion. The pork chashu was very soft and tender alongside the half boiled egg that was cooked perfectly. It also comes with bamboo, corn, and seaweed. I thought it was better than some popular ramen places around Houston. Servers were nice and attentive! We also won a free dessert at our next visit by finishing our bowls and seeing the circle with "dessert" at the bottom of our bowls. Really like how they're helping with what I think is reducing waste consumption. I overall really like the vibes of this place and recommend to people who want to try it. read more

We were in Houston visiting when our TX fam brought us to this gem of a ramen spot after playing pickleball and it was such a good recovery meal! Walking in it was such a surprise to find that their seating layout and decor was so unexpected. I definitely appreciated the private style of seating that they had going on for large parties and smaller ones too. Their ramen combos are such a steal and def worth looking into. All the appetizers we ordered for the table were delicious, I especially liked the fried squid legs bc they were more juicy and meaty compared to the ones I've had before. The ramen broth was a bit on the salty side for me, but if you're into saltier foods you would love it. The drinks and dessert that's came with their combos were refreshing and light :) Our hostess was helpful and quick to check on us. There is a convenient button to call for service from our private dinning pod as well! read more

Craving ramen on a chilly day in Houston? Come to Kyuramen, but bring a sweater? Parking was easyish, the place was located in a plaza with other restaurants and though it seemed busy we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. I enjoyed the theme they had going on in their restaurant, some honeycomb-like private sections downstairs and upstairs with open seating down in the first floor. Never had seen anything like it! I'd like to come back and sit in one of those sections. Big parties out there, there are a couple or tables for y'all with curtains to use for privacy! Pretty neat. My only piece of feedback on the ambiancewas that with it being chilly outside, the restaurant was pretty cold inside. Glad I had my sweater with me. Moving on to food! Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen 4/5 Four out of five stars because I think the pork flavor was too overpowering in the broth and I wanted it a bit more balanced, not sure if it needed more garlic or more spicy-ness or veggies? That's just me though, I still enjoyed it and would order it again. I also had the "Amazing Lemonade" I asked what was amazing about it and they said that it's just lemonade, but yall! It was good! Refreshing with a cucumber flavor. Loved it. We got some apps too and they were delicious as well. Service is requested through a little button they have on the tables and worked really well. The server came right away and took our order and all. He wouldn't come back and check up on us though, different but not bad. Overall our experience was great and I'd come back! read more
