    Hakata Tonkotsu DX
    Nikki H.

    Everything was delicious. Service was very fast and friendly. Restaurant is cute inside. Really good ramen, might be better than tatsuya. The bowls are really pretty which I appreciate. It's giving ramen in a pretty seashell.

    Wow, this was close by Thinkery so convenient. We wished there was better air conditioner since it was hot outside. Get a free token for claw machine if you get a kids meal. Also there is limited chicken ramen bowl which was nice. Kids meal was welcome surprise on what you get. It comes with juice box, Korean fried chicken, steamed broccoli, and jelly for dessert. Plus they provided kiddy chopstick holders for the kids.

    I've been to Marufuku Ramen multiple times now, and it never disappoints! The staff there are always friendly and attentive, and the food is solid. Interior ambience is clean and modern, and you can see a bit of the kitchen and the different orders as they come out. This most recent time, we came by on a weekday evening and were seated almost immediately. Hakata Tonkotsu (4.5/5): - Comes with rich pork broth, chashu pork, soft boiled egg, kikurage mushrooms, bean sprouts. Big fan of the broth here in terms of richness and flavor. - Choice of spice level - I usually go with the medium! Feels like it adds just enough spice without being overpowering. - Of note, this order comes with thin noodles as default (vs. the Tan Tan Ramen, where the noodles are thicker) - something to keep in mind depending on your noodle preference. Overall, would highly recommend Marufuku if you're looking for a casual spot for ramen! The service is efficient as well. Depending on the day, parking can be a bit rough but there's usually validated parking available in the garages or (free) street parking if you're willing to walk a bit. Looking forward to visiting Marufuku again soon!

    Came in on a Saturday right after opening and were greeted by kind staff. Very accommodating for those at our table that had allergies / questions about spice levels (in case we needed it more spicy, or had any concerns) Plenty of seating and enjoy the bar style opening where you can see the chef's cooking (and smell the food too!) Price for 3 wasn't too bad considering you're in the heart of Austin. Apps: the edamame was good. Salted but nothing crazy. Karaage was crunchy and still moist. Ramens: Tantan Men was a different noodle texture than the other style ramen. Good and easily distinguishable that it's a different outlook having ground chicken. The chicken Paitan and Hakata Pork ramen were so similar but I like that they let whatever flavor you pick shine. Like the pork flavor is noticeable in a good, clean way. The DX chicken leg was a massive bonus for being only $4 more. Good flavor, lots of meat and easily shareable. Don't let the ramen size bowls fool you. They don't skimp on quantity. I saw other customers bowl's come out and thought to myself "I'm gonna need to pay for extra noods" but boy was I wrong. That bowl is DEEP lol.

    If you're looking for great ramen in Austin, Marufuku is definitely worth a visit. The restaurant was spotless, well organized, and had a really nice ambience with soft lighting--cozy but still bright enough to actually see your food, which is always a plus at a new spot. We ordered the pork belly tonkotsu DX and the chicken paitan DX, and both were incredible. The tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful, and the chicken paitan was the real surprise--easily the best chicken ramen I've had in the Austin area. Amazing food, great atmosphere, and a spot I'll definitely be coming back to.

    Took my Midwestern parents-in-law here since they've only ever had instant noodles and are not super adventurous with food. My husband and I were surprisingly delighted wheh they said they liked it and would get it again! Luckily it wasn't too busy on a Saturday afternoon on Valentine's Day so service was great! The broth was rich, the noodles were cooked al dente, and the meat was tender. Apps: marufuku bites, gyoza Entrees: hakata tonkotsu dx (no spicy and medium spicy) The floor to ceiling windows and Japandi-like interior felt very airy and light despite the cozy seating.

    Food was fresh and the drinks were fun, tasty and refreshing!! Staff were very friendly and I got to play the little claw machine they have in there before leaving.

    7/10 I ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu with extra spice on the side. The broth was actually really good, rich and flavorful, which was the highlight of the meal. You can tell they put effort into that part. That said, the rest was kind of underwhelming. The noodles were mediocre and didn't have the texture or bite I usually expect from good ramen. The egg was also disappointing, it didn't have much flavor and wasn't soaked in soy sauce like it typically is at most ramen spots, so it tasted pretty plain. Overall, the food wasn't bad, but it was just average. Nothing stood out enough to make me want to come back. With so many solid ramen options out there, this one didn't really hit for me.

    Wait staff was friendly and helpful. Food was fantastic! Lychee margaritas were out of this world. So glad we went here.

    Marufuku Ramen is located in a pretty hip shopping area in Austin, and we went on a Saturday night for dinner fully expecting it to be busy--which it was. We had a late lunch earlier in the day, so we didn't mind a later dinner or some waiting time. Parking deserves its own mini review. If you're willing to pay, street parking a few blocks away is easy enough and runs about $2/hour, which isn't bad at all. After reading other Yelp reviews, I tried to find the parking garage that Marufuku validates (up to 2 hours). I even called the restaurant to confirm, but all I got was "the one with the green sign" and something about "Ranch." Helpful-ish. For clarity: the actual garage is a nearby retail garage called Metropolis, very close to the restaurant. Rates there are also $2/hour, so even if the validation doesn't work, you're only out a few bucks. As we left our hotel, we hopped on Yelp to join the waitlist. Note that you have to be within a mile to do this so we had to wait until we were close. Around 7:00 pm, the quoted wait was over an hour. The waitlist system is well organized and easy to track in real time. We ended up getting seated around 8:15 pm for a party of four. Pretty close to the original estimate. Service was great overall. Our waiter was kind and attentive--nothing flashy, but definitely solid and professional. Food-wise, this place really shines. Ika karaage: Not my favorite dish personally, but still worth trying. I would have ordered the chicken karaage but we had fried chicken for lunch that day so opted for something else. Takoyaki: Absolutely spectacular, especially if you already like takoyaki. Ramen: Some of the best ramen I've had. You have to try their flagship Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen. If you're looking for something bursting with flavor and noodles with a nice chew, the Tantan Men is also excellent. We got both ramens with medium spice and it was just right. The only minor hiccup came at checkout. The waiter brought over an iPad and took my card tableside. Luckily, I checked the bill (which I usually don't if the waiter is holding an iPad waiting for your credit card) and noticed it was the wrong one--about double what I expected. I pointed it out, and he fixed it immediately. No hassle, no awkwardness, just interesting to mention. Pro tip: take a few seconds to check your bill. People make mistakes and you can be kind about it. One final tip: there's a QR code at the door for parking validation, so don't miss that on your way out. Also, the Metropolis parking website is kind of janky--it kept spinning and blanking out for me--but it eventually worked. The validation ended up working (the 75 minute wait plus the 45 minute meal - made it just in time). Bottom line: if you want really good ramen and don't mind a little parking inconvenience, Marufuku Ramen is absolutely worth it. If you want better ramen, go to Japan.

    I crave this bowl at least once a week. It's so creamy, so flavorful, so rich and perfect amount of spicy. Always a quick in and out.

    We just moved to the area and decided to find the closest ramen spot. As soon as we arrived we saw many people waiting outside and I thought oh we must have found a good spot. I'm happy to say it lived up to the hype. We had about a 35 minute wait but you can just join the waitlist on Yelp whenever you are ready to go so you can save some time waiting. The restaurant is intimate but you don't feel overcrowded. The ramen broth is so flavorful and the spice level is great. You have the options on spice level though if you don't want it spicy. My ratings on food below. Pirikari chicken bites - 8/10, great crunch on the chicken and nice kick. The sauce was a little too sweet for me but overall still a nice bite Hakata Tonkotsu- 10/10, this broth shined so flavorful and creamy. My husband got this one and loved it. He ordered it medium spice. Chicken Paitan - 10/10, this was so good! Chicken was so tender and perfectly cooked noodles. I will be back for this again. I ordered this medium spice.

    If you're looking for authentic, unforgettable ramen, you absolutely have to try the Hakata Tonkotsu DX at Marufuku Ramen. From the very first sip of that rich, creamy broth, I knew this place was something special. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the pork was tender and flavorful, and every bite felt like comfort in a bowl. Honestly, it's the best ramen I've ever had--and it's not even close. What really sets this place apart is the customer service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The vibe is awesome--lively, clean, and the kind of place you want to sit, relax, and enjoy every minute of your meal. And whatever you do, don't pass up the Spicy Wings. They are sweet, spicy, and perfectly crispy--cooked just right with that satisfying crunch in every bite. Absolutely delicious and the perfect complement to an already amazing meal. Top-notch service, incredible food, and an unbeatable atmosphere--this place is a must-visit.

For outdoor seating you have to order everything at the bar and they will bring the food to your table. So there is no table service other than that. It was still great though we got everything we need and the food came out in good timing. The drinks were really fun and I really liked the cold foam on the beer! Definitely must try! The appetizers were not that good I would skip. The miso ramen though, was AMAZING!! The broth is so rich and creamy. The noodles were also really good at picking up the broth. Definitely impressed with the ramen here. Overall, this is one of my favorite ramen spots in Austin and would love to come back soon!

    Overall: 3.8/5 [takeout]…read more We ordered late night delivery from Ramen Tatsu-Ya and it arrived in under an hour. The food was nicely packaged with no spillage, and I appreciated that the ramen came with heating instructions. The one thing I noticed is that the takeout portions lean a bit heavier on rice than on protein and toppings. Negi Rice Bowl ($7.50): Scallion, fried onion, rendered pork, and sesame seeds. We did not really taste the pork but the overall flavor of the rice bowl was really good. I think it would be even better paired with an additional protein. Chashu Rice Bowl ($10.50): This felt like it was lacking umami and the chashu was not juicy or fatty. Instead, the pork belly was a bit overcooked and dry. It was much better in person so don't order it for takeout. Texas Tonk Ramen ($20.75): Pork bone broth, BBQ brisket, smoked and pickled jalapeño, fermented takana mustard greens, thunder oil, and ajitama. This sounded like such a strange combo, and we were on the fence about ordering it but decided to just go for it. My husband did not like it but I actually did. The flavors worked better than expected and everything came together surprisingly well. The jalapeño was the most interesting element, tender with some structure, spicy, and a bit acidic all at once. I would not order it again but it is definitely worth trying at least once.

    Apr 8, 2026 review:…read more I've been at Nori two times in person and recently tried their to-go order. We got one Austin roll ($22), volcano roll ($15), creamy spicy tan tan ramen ($20), teriyaki sesame tofu yakisoba ($20). I have had their sushi and yakisoba but tried their ramen for first time. I was impressed with their packaging. As you can see in picture, veggies and noodles box was on top and soup at bottom. The only thing I didn't like how noodles became very sticky because of how tight they were packed. So I got it as cold (because I live 30 mins away) and sticky. Ramen came with all the veggies like grilled Chinese broccoli, tofu, sweet corn, marinated shiitake mushrooms, red onions and negi. Yakisoba noodles had the Stir-fried noodles tossed with cabbage, scallion, carrot, marinated shiitake mushrooms, and fragrant negi in a savory house sauce. It was good if you like this type of noodles. Austin roll had Smoked tempeh, tempura tofu, jalapeño, pickles. And on the to Avocado, roasted garlic oil, tempura flakes, smoked paprika, teriyaki. Volcano roll was a deep fried roll which had spinach, avocado, sweet potato. On top: spicy mayo, sweet soy sauce, chili sauce, Caviart and tempura onion. I would say this is the best vegetarian sushi place I've found in Austin. So if you're in search, this wouldn't disappoint you.

I'll start by stating the obvious: everything on the menu is plant based! It's rare for me to go to a restaraunt and be able to eat everything on the many and its unheard of when it comes to sushi which is why I so excited to try the place out. IM OBSESSED! Everything we tried was absolutely delicious. We tried the chick'n karaage, impossible gyoza, and a few different speciality roles (austin, manhattan, and another that I can't recall). While the food was really yummy, the drinks were somehow even better. I had an early grey martini that blew me away. Probably in the top 2 best cocktails I've ever had in my life. The best part is all of their drinks (or nearly all of their cocktails) come in three variations which allows you to get them with alchohol, thc, or make it complelely non-alcoholic. Love the inclustivity. I cant' wait to come back!

    Not sure if anyone reads this, but I'll comment anyways…read more I went here with my husband and overall enjoyed it. I've been here 3 times now. I enjoyed it enough to come back a few times and will come back again. In the spirit of constructive criticism, here is what I have to say, just a few things to note though: The bar is not a real bar. It's just another table, but looks like a bar. The bar doesn't actually function like you'd expect a bar to function. Not a dealbreaker, but a bit misleading. You still get a server, can't seat yourself at the bar, etc. Might as well just sit at a table then. If someone reads this, I'd highly suggest at least considering making the bar function like a real bar! The tables are very close together. I know the place is small so this isn't something you can really change without losing money by reducing the amount of tables, but boy they are packed close. This is more something that maybe customers would like to know though. Management is all white, but the sushi chefs are Japanese. The servers are mostly white too. Not that this is a problem, but it does strike me as a little bit surprising and ever so slightly off-putting. At least, it makes me question what's going on initially. I know supposedly the owners are Japanese, per their website, but it might be nice to see more Japanese people in charge, at a Japanese place. The bussers look to be the hardest working kids out there. I hope they get paid fairly. Every time I've been there, they're the ones rushing around as fast as they can, cleaning up tables all over the place. I'm surprised they only have a couple of them, when they have way more servers. Not sure if this is normal, but they seem to be working really hard. There is no "Happy Hour", Google lied. Google has on their page that they have a happy hour when you look up this place. Turns out they don't. The servers are a little bit loud and rowdy sometimes. I know they all look to be in their mid to early 20's, but it might get to be a bit much. When they go back into their little corner or "hideout" they seem to be screaming and talking really loudly sometimes. Also, they like to scream "CORNER" constantly. I get that this might be a thing they do, to avoid crashing into each other, but there's no need to scream it across the entire building. Especially when it is quiet already. Speaking of screaming, when you walk in, they scream (I looked up what it is so forgive me if this is a typo): IRASHAIMASE (which apparently is "welcome in" in Japanese. The thing is, instead of making it a classy, cute thing they do, they scream it as obnoxiously as they can, like junior high kiddos would scream "67" these days. It went from cute, to annoying after about the 3rd time I heard them do it, while I was eating. If they all said it in a pleasant classy way, I would really like it, although it's become really quite obnoxious. It even looks like some of the employees are over it. I can't imagine how many times they do that daily. Lastly, the music does not match the atmosphere at all. One time I went in, they had rock music on, the next, they had country. The last time I went, they had 80's. They should either have classical or wordless music such as jazz, or some kind of Japanese music. Not sure why they have such out-of-place music. My most previous server was a doll! I also hope the servers get paid. Some of them weren't as friendly, but I won't rag on individual people, as they may have been just having a bad day. The most previous one had pink hair though and was super cute and friendly. As for another good thing, the ambiance and food are definitely above average and the prices don't break the bank. Overall, quite enjoyable place. None of the things I mentioned should make you avoid this place by any means. This is mostly for the staff and management to fix a few things, if they care. That is it! Hopefully someone at least reads this. Not sure if managers actually read these reviews though. If not, oh well. Hope this helps someone one day!
