Fantastic food here. The pork bao buns are great. The octopus balls are excellent. The gyoza deep fried dumplings are excellent. We like to order all three of those kind of as appetizers and it's enough for two people. Prices are excellent too. read more

Really wanted to like this place, have been wanting to go for over a year now. Got the tonkatus omurice and tried it with both the demi glace and the curry sauce about $25 with tax so not super cheap. Unfortunately it just genuinely lacked any and all flavor besides mushroom. I honestly don't recall ever seeing an actual mushroom though. The demi glace sauce lacked any flavor as well but as I have never had it before now I wonder if that is just how it is meant to taste. Thai Tea was good, not great but looked pretty. Super disappointed with the food over all though, service was genuinely good and the inside of the place is gorgeous as well. Felt more for instagram than to actually enjoy unfortunately. read more

So happy that so many new Asian restaurants are opening in The Woodlands area. Kyuramen & TBaar are in the same spot so you can order ramen dishes & boba all at the same time. We ordered these: 1. Ying Yang Bowl - chashu pork, shrimp tempura, scallop, marinated egg, & veggies in a pork broth. 2. Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu Bowl - chashu pork, marinated egg & veggies in a pork broth. Added a shrimp tempura. 3. Honeycomb Platter - chili garlic edamame, lobster & chaschu salad ball, tamago egg, shrimp tempura, eel unagi, scallops & seaweed salad. 4. Popcorn Chicken 5. Takoyaki Octopus Balls 6. Desserts: matcha pudding w/ red bean, matcha tiramisu, & Japanese cherry blossom jelly. 10/10 recommend the matcha pudding btw! If you go, ask to sit in the honeycomb booths. The ambiance of this place is absolutely lovely. Service is alright but for the most part you just order. read more

This place is so cute. I love the seating arrangement in the honeycomb. The food was really good. Everything we ate was delicious. The sauce they give with the Tonkatsu Omurice, AKA egg and rice, was soooo good. All the appetizers we had were delicious, and the fried corn I had never seen before was different and yummy, as were the purple sweet potato fries. The staff was wonderful, and they have really good drinks. I had the grapefruit tea to-go, so good! and I had the lemonade while we ate, which was soooo good as well. We will be back to try the ramen and a selection of the other appetizers. read more

Great place to stop off for a quick lunch. The ramen broth was rich and flavorful but needed more spice for my liking. Tried their Grapefruit aloe tea which surprisingly was very delicious. Each table has a bottom that you pushed if you needed your server. The service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Their dining room is beautiful with a tree as the center peace giving you a quick escape from 45's traffic. read more

My kid is a regular here now. We always come later in the day on weekdays and always get the honeycomb seating without issue. The tonkatsu curry ramen with pork bao/thai tea add on is her go to. Today I had devoured two whoppers an hour earlier and just couldn't bring myself to more gluttony. The tonkatsu was not submerged like last time so it stayed crispy and wasn't soggy. We didn't complain last time but thank you for getting it right this time. read more

Such a cool looking little ramen shop. The food was amazing too. Every thing that we ordered was spot on some of the best ramen around. The popcorn chicken was great too. However it is the Woodlands and the prices are a little high for a bowl of ramen. The service was friendly but never really suggested anything. They use a kinda pager system to ring a server over to the table. That part seemed odd and often awkward. We weren't really sure if we had a dedicated server. But the food was good and my son finished his bowl and got a coupon for a free popcorn chicken next time. read more

Kyuramen is always a hit, and the design this location was so freaking cool. It had hive pods on the wall that I got to sit at and overlook the entire restaurant. The service is excellent and not just because there is a button on your table to press when you need anything, but the staff is so kind. I felt overwhelmed by the options but not to fear the yingyang bowl is here! It's basically a 2-in-1 option of the Shoyu and Miso Ramen. Both broths were very delicious- the shoyu being bolder than the miso but it was divine being able to go back and forth from each and experience different flavors in one bowl. Kyuramen is a solid spot where you'll definitely be content afterwards. read more

Came here for one of my girlfriend's bdays and they were accommodating for this! I enjoyed what I ordered a lot - pork tonkatsu omurice with curry sauce. I like how they give you the curry sauce, gravy bowl of it practically! My husband didn't like his ramen much though. And we ordered an appetizer that didn't come out until we were almost done with our meals so... we were irked on that. But the ambiance is really cool inside.

Although I've given this place multiple tries... I just can't bring myself to like it. We started with some appetizers - popcorn chicken and Ika (fried squid). They were crispy and tasted really good. Unfortunately my experience only went down hill from there. I was in between 3 kinds of ramen and asked the server if there was any diffence btwn the broths since they were all pork. She told me they all tasted VERY different, but could not tell me what the difference was. She rattled off the different toppings that they came with instead of describing the broth... I ended up picking the #3 Mega Ramen and it was not good. The broth was sweet yet bland - I picked at the toppings here and there but could not bring myself to actually eat it. My partner's ramen broth was rich, umami, and way more flavorful. Not sure if this was some fluke or if it was meant to be like this... During my previous visit, I ordered the viral omurice and also found it to be extremely bland. I will not be visitng again as there are issues with consistancy of the food quality/taste. The servers also seem to be not very well-informed of the menu items. It really is a shame since the interior is beautiful. It's well-lit and aethetic, but the food doesn't match the vibe read more

We really enjoyed Kyuramen. The interior is beautiful with tables and private booths including an upstairs section off space it makes you feel like you are in Japan. I ordered the mega Ramen that came with pork broth and pork Chachu and tempura shrimp. My wife ordered the chicken ramen. We also had the pork bao for an appetizer. Everything was so delicious. The ramen was hot and perfectly seasoned. The noodles weren't overcooked. I loved them both and can't wait to try more varieties. read more

Had to say I was incredibly impressed with this location especially the interior of the restaurant. There is a beautiful tree design and also seating locations which rise along the wall. Very unique!! I loved their gyoza and tonkatsu ramen and would definitely come back again. The broth of the tonkatsu wasn't super thick and buttery like something you'd get at Tatsuya for example so if this is something you prefer I'd come here! Service was excellent, everyone was very kind read more

Why 4 stars? Because the ramen was fine, but the boba was bomb. --- --- --- I've driven by this place many times but finally stopped in. I'd seen the great reviews piling in + we were in the middle of a crazy cold spell + I was taking my son somewhere in the same parking lot after. The perfect occasion! I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with black garlic. I had no idea if I should pay $1 more for the black garlic, so I asked my server, and he rattled off a bunch of facts about why black garlic was better. I nodded my head and obliged, because I'm a man who likes better things. The ramen was... fine. Not amazing, not bad. A solid 4-stars. I'd come back and try some of the other options in the future based on the great reviews, though. We also ordered some popcorn chicken that was mostly for my son, but I kept snacking on it because it was addicting. The saltiness really gets you. I also ordered a taro smoothie with boba, which technically comes from Tbaar next door, which I guess it technically a part of the same business. This was easily the highlight of my experience. There was just something slightly different about this smoothie... maybe it was just creamier? Either way, I will 100% be back for more drinks from Tbaar! I'll also add that the vibe of the place was top notch. They have the honeycomb style booths and it feels like you're in the middle of the urban core, rather than the suburbs. You hit a call button when you're ready to order, which is another nice touch. read more

Iit's nice to find a place that takes you back to that those places you've visited. This is that place for me, of course the place is huge compared to most Japanese ramen places, but they did a great job at bringing the essence. To be honest, it would be difficult to match the quality, but this gets darn close! The place, the honeycomb aesthetic, the seating, all gives you a nice experience. I wish the ramen broth were richer, but it's still delicious. read more

I found out that the owner of KyuRamen is the same person as Tbaar, which operates next door and serves smoothies and bubble tea. KyuRamen also has more than 100 locations worldwide. Given this, I was expecting a very generic and earthy bowl of ramen, and nothing absurdly fancy. The establishment is also known for its creatively designed seating arrangements in a honeycomb shape. The ramen, as expected, was good and very typical of an establishment of this caliber. They are straightforward with their variety and do not attempt anything over the edge like joints in Japan. You pick a variation of tonkotsu, shoyo, or a curry ramen. This keeps the food very consistently good and quick. Many ramen establishments are now charging north of $20.00 for a bowl of ramen. It is refreshing to still be able to eat ramen at an "affordable" price range these days jajaja. This was an overall positive experience and I will be coming back to finish off the broth once again! read more

We visited here on a Sunday and they were about half full. Unfortunately, the pod seating was full, so they sent us to a private room in the back corner next to a family with some very loud young kids. And again, unfortunately our call button wasn't working or something as we pressed it multiple times and no one ever came. The table that came after us had their waiter show up and take their order immediately and visited them very often, as opposed to our waiter who was MIA most of the time. We waited around 5 mins before a server showed up. We tried their tonkatsu black, classic omurice, popcorn chicken, fried oyster, Thai tea (which comes with the omurice, and a coconut smoothie. The ramen was pretty good, but just wasn't awesome by any means. The good ones start tasting the same after a while. I enjoyed the fried oysters though. The omurice was interesting but seemed way overpriced. The Thai tea was just average Thai tea. I really enjoyed the coconut smoothie though. I may come back if I'm ever craving ramen when in the area, but hope to get a better server next time. read more

So happy I visited!! Came here with family after they recommended Kyuramen and it was incredible. Of course the interior is great, the unique seating and private booths are great, and I love that they are able to accommodate any party size for seating. Once we were seated our server Lance was awesome! All of our orders came out perfect as well as our drinks, and everything came out quickly especially with the restaurant being decently busy at the time. The ramen was wonderful, I chose the #1 which seems to be the most popular. But everyone in our party completely finished their bowls. After you've finished the bowl they have a prize event where you can win a dessert, drink, chicken, or ramen bowl for free on your next visit. We won chicken and a dessert. I am already excited to return back here when I'm in town again! read more

After being stuck in traffic due to an accident for 3 hours, I was very excited to get some food!! Kyuramen was a perfect choice for a nice hot meal to warm us up. Upon walking in we were immediately greeted and seated. I was curious bc all the tables looked full , where were we going to be seated? The hostess led us to a short set of stairs into a honeycomb booth. This was SOOO CUTE!! I loved it! Our server was super informative, answering any questions we had. After we placed our order, our food began to come out. I was a little concerned at first bc my side on tonkotsu came out first even though it was ordered as a side for my ramen. But overall, everything came out pretty quickly. As soon as the bowl of ramen was placed on my table the aromas were absolutely mouthwatering. Not to mention it looked amazing. It was perfectly balanced with all the accompaniments. Just amazing. We got deep fried dumplings as well that were nice and crisp and the filling was well seasoned. The only complaint I have is the difference in drinks. We both ordered an "amazing lemonade" but the tastes were completely different. Mine came from the tea bar and basically tasted like sugar water while my partner had one that was made in the restaurant and was perfectly balanced with the cucumber and lemon. Not sure why there are such differences. While I don't find myself in this area too often, I look forward to visiting another Kyuramen soon read more

Perfect way to start the new year with a great and deserving 5 star review. This place was amazing! The vibes from the second we walked in were great. We were greeted right away with a welcoming smile and sat perfectly in a honeycomb. Our server was great, she explained the menu and answered any questions we had. This establishment was very clean and you can see the whole staff working together. Very refreshing to see. The food though. OMG! It was brought to us super quick and our meals were nothing short of greatness. It was the perfect meal for this cold weather.

Fancy a slice of Tokyo? This place has the trendy interior with vertical table seating so it looks like you're on the set of Hollywood Squares. And if being perched on an elevated platform makes you uneasy, they have private dinning rooms to get some alone time with your paramour. Thirsty or just want a quick refreshment? There is a separate bubble tea bar within the space so you can walk in and out with a tasty tea beverage. The food is very good! We enjoyed our ramen very much. The staff is attentive and active.

Excellent ramen place that I visited with my wife today. The staff is very friendly and the seating is unique. It almost looks like a honeycomb with the different levels being on top of each other. My wife had a tea from the place next door and has had one from there before and loved it. She had the number one here after the staff recommended it as something that was not spicy. She enjoyed her bowl, though she was not a fan of the egg or kelp. I had the yin yang bowl which has a spice and a bland side and it was excellent. I liked the spicy side better and next time we come and I am going to get something completely spicy. It is nice that they have non spicy options for people like my wife who don't like spice. The shrimp tempura and pork was great, though next time I will be more daring and get the eel. Lots of variety here and the price was not bad. They also have different powered pepper on the table so you can adjust your spice level. A great experience. read more

Kyuramen - Our order. The number one in the back and the yin yang bowl in front. - Ramen Near Me - Shenandoah, Texas

I was greeted and taken care of very quickly. The service was good and the waitresses were nice. Inside as well lit, it was a little noisy, but not too bad. My main issue was that it was so cold and it felt like there was a fan on me the entire time. I sat in the open area and not in a little private booth, so maybe those would be better. As for the food, I got the tonkatsu with black garlic. The broth was bland and tasted very generically commercialized. Tonkatsu is the standard broth so it should have been done well. I don't know how they got the lovely broth color right without the flavor. It isn't horrible, but it also isn't something I would order again. The skewers, on the other hand, were definitely well seasoned and tasty, but the amount of meat on a skewer isn't worth the price. Despite the flavorless tonkatsu, I would try this place again, but maybe next time I will try the miso broth and hope for more flavor. read more

Came here with some friends. We tried the popcorn chicken it was good and then fried dumpling. The lobster ball app was not good. It was an odd combo of cold lobster on top and like pork bbq that's warm on bottom. I got the curry ramen it was okay. But I'm not a big ramen person to begin with. The dessert was a little disappointing they didn't have 2 of the desserts we wanted to try. Only the match ones. Other than that service wa great! The tea bar was amazing as well that's connected in there. read more

My all time favorite ramen place with boba drinks right next by, you can actually order from the restaurant as well. Ramen noodles on their menu is always consistently good and tasty. We love their garlic tonkatsu ($1 extra for black garlic) the most! Snacks: tonkatsu is delicious with great amount of octopus in comparison to other places. This is why we cannot stop order this snack from here. It's really delicious! Dessert: not a big fan of their cherry blossom jelly as it tastes bland and nothing special. It looks pretty but taste is just mediocre. Boba: love all their tea option esp with sea salt milk foam. Their pudding topping is great. I do have a small request: can their boba be less chewy and a tad more softer? I mean sometimes, depends on the day they made it, it tastes straight up like rubber which I wish the staff can improve on cooking and maintaining its texture better. Ambience: honeycombs seatings are quite eye catching with many spots for pictures. Overall, we enjoyed it here either dine or to go. We will definitely continue to support them! read more

visited kyuramen just before the winter storm rolled in. this spot has been on my list for a while, but i never felt like making the drive to chinatown. so it's super convenient that they opened a location in the woodlands! :) i ordered the black garlic tokyo tonkotsu shouyu ramen ($16.99), which came with chashu pork, half a marinated egg, corn, bamboo shoots, wakame, scallions, and nori. i also added two appetizers: the butabara (pork belly, $2.99) and gyu harami (beef skirt, $3.99). the pork belly was pretty good--juicy and flavorful. the beef skirt, on the other hand, was just okay. it was a little dry and nothing particularly special. the ramen itself was super flavorful and rich, though a bit too salty for my taste. one unique feature is the red stamp at the bottom of the bowl. if you drink all the broth, you can see if you win one of their prizes. i thought this was a clever way to encourage people to finish their broth. unfortunately, i didn't win anything--basically consumed all that sodium for nothing lols the dining experience was smooth and convenient. after you're seated, you press a button to place and pay for your order, so there's no rush, and you can take your time deciding. another cool touch is that this location partners with tbar, so they also provide a tea menu when you sit down--a smart move for this plaza. overall, kyuramen is a solid addition to the woodlands. the ramen is worth trying especially since there isn't a whole lot of ramen up in the woodlands area! read more

The boba was delicious ! The ramen was good but their drinks weee standout. Service was very fast!

I brought my large family here for dinner and was really disappointed by how rudely we were treated. When we sat down, the hostess snapped at us that my toddler couldn't press the button on the table and had to be moved. Understandable rule, but the tone was completely unnecessary. A few minutes later, the same hostess (who had just walked back into the restaurant with a shopping bag?) came over and very curtly told me my toddler couldn't walk up and down the stairs. For context, the restaurant was nearly empty, with only one other table seated, and he wasn't disturbing anyone. At that point, I decided to cancel our entire order, over $200, and take our business elsewhere. We went to Top Sushi instead and were warmly welcomed and treated with kindness, a complete contrast to the experience we had here. This restaurant looks like it could really use customers, but with staff treating families this way, it's no surprise why people wouldn't come back. We certainly won't be returning. read more
