Hawaiian queen roll ..... wow!! This was a delight! So much flavor! Kimchi ramen and Spicy tonkotsu ramen was main meal. Not a lot of flavor in either. Wasn't horrible, and the meat and veggies in both were good, but don't think we will have ramen on next visit. They have a pretty good selection of specialty rolls, so will be back to try more of those. read more

We really enjoy Master X Ramen but had a less than ideal experience tonight. Food was good and we had a nice mix from the menu. Appearance and flavor were excellent. Now the bad.... Service. I don't want to call out our server by name even though it is on the receipt. We've not seen him before. He couldn't manage a smile. Wasn't very friendly. My wife saw him make a sour face at us when walking away as I asked for more tea. He was equally rude to another couple that sat down next to us. Great opportunity for the manager to train him up or move him out. Your restaurant deserves better. My ratings are 1 for service and 5 for food. read more

The food is excellent! The ambience is cozy and warm. Reminds of a small restaurant in NYC right here in our neck of the woods. The service was prompt. read more

Wow, a tasty ramen place close by to my parents' house? Clear Lake has made it! Intrigued by their mazemen (broth-less ramen with toppings made fto mix all together), I ordered takeout and our meal was delicious as well as appealing to the eye :) some downsides would be how salty our dishes were (we are a little salt sensitive though) and the cost. Curry mazemen and shoyu mazemen: looked almost identical but loaded with raw garlic and green onion with a serving of their pork mixture. I loved the poached egg with the bright runny yellow yolk. The noodles were soft so not much chew but they mixed well with everything and held onto the sauce. While not extremely spicy, there is definitely a kick to the sauce... what was overpowering was the salt level-- I rarely leave my bowls unfinished but I had to save the last bit despite drinking lots of water. The remaining salty meat mixture was super tasty mixed with lots of rice the next day though! Sukiyaki Don: Mixed with small pieces of tofu, this one also looks delicious with the poached egg! The jalepenos made it a little spicy as well. My dad really enjoyed his beef bowl. I wouldn't say it's true Sukiyaki flavor or have the usual veggies / broth, but it is definitely sweet and savory. A good portion of protein in this one. I would order this again! Calling in an order was a breeze and it was hot and ready when I arrive to pick it up 15 min later. Service was quietly friendly, and the interior of the restaurant looked trendy and clean-- would've been a nice hangout or date spot for me when I was growing up in the area! Definitely a little pricier for what I'm used to paying for bowls of ramen, but it's a nice place to switch it up or try something new and delicious :D They have a variety of dishes, like your more traditional broth ramen, soba, sushi, and even smoothies, so check it out! read more

Friendly staff, very clean and organize l. My wife and I really enjoy what they have to offer here. In my opinion one of the better ramen shop in the area. Food is always fresh and delicious! They also serve sushi as well but we only ever tried the ramen. Come show your support if your in the Clear Lake area read more

Small shop next to a big shopping plaza. It's very easy to find & there's plenty of parking! Ordered the X Mazeman and it was rich, unique in flavor, and a pretty decent sized portion. There's pork belly & ground meat, and comes with 2 fried eggs and a bowl of rice & sheet of seaweed on the side. The noodles were great quality. We also got the tempura cheesecake which was to die for! The service was great & our waters were never empty. Only thing I wish were that the prices were just a bit more affordable. It's not fast food but it's also not a fancy date night either, but the food is pretty solid and I'd come back again. read more

Cold fried goyoza, the noodles feel more like dried spaghetti, the meat was not tender and even the broth was lackluster. The inside is really nicely decorated and clean but I looked in the mirin container when I was confused why a clear liquid came out of my soy sauce and I saw a fly at the bottom of it. Service was very slow. It took 20 minutes for us to get a to get our check, but there was only one person attending the front. Great location and there were several families in there, I just wish the food was better - especially for the price. We didn't finish either of our soups and left kind of hungry, to be honest. Will not be returning. read more

This place is a hidden WOW, the food was amazing. You want food to take you back to the streets of Kyoto, this is it. I loved their food. Tried different plates and each one kept getting better. Service was super quick and friendly. The place is a little dark bit it is relaxing. I will go back again for another rice dish along with some ramen. read more

Great selection and really enjoyed everything. The crab rangoons are delicious, better than any other I've had.

We had the spicy tonkatsu Ramen and it was delicious. The service was good too. Not a fan of Brussel sprouts but they were really good in this soup. read more

So so delicious!! Got the curry mazeman and it came with a small side of rice for the extra sauce at the end. It had just the right hint of spice and freshness from the salad inside. The spicy miso ramen had soft noodles with good balance of flavors. Definitely more sesame oil forward The sukiyaki-Don with jalapeños was great especially with the tofu. The karaage was great portion size and juice/tender. Will def be back!! Service was amazing and kept coming over to make sure the meal was going well and if we needed anything else. read more

Came here after seeing the good reviews and it being local in the area. Went during a weekday afternoon as it wasn't busy at all and could sit anywhere by choice. The waitress who served us was very friendly and was receptive to any questions that we had. My friend and I both order the tonkatsu ramen. Overall, the ramen tasted very good (broth, pork, most toppings), however I wasn't really a big fan of the brussel sprouts addition to the ramen, as it added a bitter and burnt charred taste to it. The other thing I wanted to mention was the portions (specifically the chashu) did vary from mine versus my friends bowl as it was significantly lesser, so I will say the consistency can be worked on. I did get food poisoning shortly afterwards the same day, however, I'm not sure if it's from the ramen, thus I will not take off any points or make any conclusions based on my own personal experience. Overall, give it a go if in the area. read more

We visited Master x ramen for lunch on a Friday. The restaurant space is easy to find and there is parking right out front. The area is shared with other restaurants so you may have to park a short distance away. Thankfully we were very lucky to find a spot right in front. The restaurant itself is very clean and beautifully decorated. The staff is very friendly and accomodating. We enjoyed: - Pan fried gyoza - Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen customized with our selection of extra toppings - Shredded coconut cake (reminded me of puertorican tembleque which we love) We will definitely be back. I recommend that you stop in and give them a try. read more

Loved the open floor plan and the nice big windows letting in some sunshine ! The ramen was 7.5/10 but still so gooooodd especially the gyozas once me and my lady wolfed down or ramen we ordered a nice matcha ice cream the presentation texture flavor and color was amazing ! read more

Great new place in the Clear Lake area!! One of the few places to serve mazemen, and they do a great job!!! We had some great appetizers (spicy salmon in as taco-like shell of fried seaweed), gyoza, and spicy chicken. All very flavorful and presented artfully. The "X Mazemen" was enjoyed by both my wife and I. Very hearty! Try it first without vinegar, then splash s little vinegar on to see how it brings out the flavors. It's a new place, so no liquor license yet, but you can bring in your own. I had the Thai tea, which was the best I have had outside of Thailand. Give them a try, you won't be disappointed! read more

Finally decided to give this place a shot, so we came here after church. It was nicely themed like a typical ramen shop and very clean. Our waitress was really nice and was kind enough to tell us all the specials when we didn't know what we were going to order. We ordered some appetizers which were the takoyaki and the spicy salmon tacos. I also noticed that they had a small menu for sushi rolls, as well, however we decided not to order any this time around. Maybe next time! The takoyaki was really good. The outside was lightly crisped and the inside was just filled with delicious seafood creaminess. They also weren't so piping hot that we couldn't just stuff our face with it right away like other places, where it's just so hot we burn ourselves. The spicy salmon tacos were also very delicious. It was lightly crisped and with the pickled vegetables, it really paired well. Finally, onto the main course: I ordered the shoyu ramen and my boyfriend ordered the tonkotsu ramen. The broth was very flavorful and not too salty. The noodles had a good 'bite' to them and the pork chashu was very tender. It was overall a really good experience and I do plan on coming back to try out their sushi menu next, as well as their rice bowls! read more

My husband and I went with my brother to Master X Ramen this afternoon and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Spicy Salmon tacos, Takoyaki, and Crispy Wings to start. The Takoyaki was crisp on the outside and topped with wasabi mayo and eel sauce and lots of bonito flakes. Benito flakes move or "dance" when placed as toppings and have an umami, smoky, savory and slightly fishy flavor. They are wonderful and fun to watch as the Takoyaki cools. The Crispy Wings with sweet chili sauce came next. The wings had thick, crisp breading and were scored to allow the sauces to get down to the bone for a deep flavor throughout the wings. These were even better than they look, and we thought they looked phenomenal. Next came the Spicy Salmon Tacos. Spicy salmon was packed in a crispy fried seaweed "shell" on top of a thin layer of slightly pickled and topped with thinly sliced, fried scallions. The fried seaweed gave a pleasant texture change from the spicy salmon and the pickled cucumber (which sounded very strange to us in this dish) provided a fresh bite that worked in combination with everything. The ramen followed. We ordered 2 Spicy Tonkotsu Ramens with one having all the toppings on the side, and one non-spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. These were served in a smaller portion that what we are used to, but filled with so many fresh ingredients and house-made, hand pulled noodles that we felt it was a good size for the value. The sides included chashu pork, seasoned egg, kikurage (a type of Japanese mushroom,) menma, (bambo,) (fish cake, scallions snd charred Brussels sprouts. The tonkotsu broth was strong and all the toppings were fresh. The yolk of the seasoned egg was cooked to custardy perfection. The service was great and the food came out very quickly. My husband and I lived in a heavily influenced Japanese area for 29 years and this ramen could easily compete with ramen from that area. We live over 30 minutes away, but we will definitely be back when we are craving ramen. read more

Very welcoming staff. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is very well kept and clean. Nice lighting and vibe. We ordered a few things off the menu so let's get into it. Chicken Bao slayed. I'd give it a 9/10 only because the portion was way to small for my hungry self. But regardless it was a tasty appetizer. Spicy Tuna Tacos gets a 5.7/10 smelled a bit too much like fish me.. let's just say it didn't make the cut for the to-go box Shoyu Mazeman is a 9/10 as well, I don't really know what it was in that bowl, but it was delightful. Fried Oreos were 8/10 they were good, could be great though. Overall the food was great. Can't complain. I recommend this place for sure read more

Everything is so good! We had several bowls of noodles along with the sushi and it was amazing.

The ramen beats Jinya's. The broth is so rich and spicy, the addition of Brussel sprouts was an amazing touch. The fried chicken and pork buns were to die for. I highly recommend Master X Ramen. read more

Horrible experience for the 2nd time. Not recommended unless you want incredibly dry pork tenderloin (instead of Chashu per menu). I asked the server why our ramen came with pork tenderloin. Her response was that they serve the kind of pork they can get. And also that most people like less fatty meat. I asked her, then why don't they say pork tenderloin on the menu. I received a blank stare. She offered no apology nor did she seek the manager. I asked if she was aware this wasn't ok, again blank stare. My daughter asked to go there for the second time because she couldn't remember if we liked it the first time. It's all flooding back. No! We didn't. I will not make that mistake again. Dinned in 11/6 7:30pm, only two other tables the entire time we were there. 0.5 out of 10 if you want numerical value read more

Delicious spicy ramen! Great flavor or broth and tasty pork. Service was quick and helpful.

Very good sushi and Ramen place, I recommend it for sure! Only thing I wish for the Spicy Miso Ramen to be SPIIIICY or at least an Ramen that is super spicy. I asked for extra spiciness but it looks was still pretty mild, but that didn't really matter when it tasted so good anyways! The food came out fast, and the place is nice and cozy! It's not too loud and has some nice music playing! (Nice L.o.L. music :) ) read more

I got spicy tankotsu Ramen and pan fried gyoza. Everything was an overall thumbs up. The broth is really flavorful and the noodles aren't all clumped up which I like. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is the char su in the ramen could definitely be more tender, but it wasn't bad by any means. Great service too. read more

It was good, but there are a lot of ramen places that do the same. If it's nearby you head over! It's kind of far for me so I prob won't be back. Also, when I asked if certain dishes were spicy they said no. Haha-- I disagree. Spice is subjective I guess. Also when my husband asked whether the chicken dishes were white or dark meat they said white-- they were not. read more

Great food and service. Had the spicy miso with pork, dumplings, and crab puffs. Would go back again.

Incredible new place and management is involved. I ordered the cucumber salad and it was plentiful and tasty. The spicy pork tonkotsu ramen was deep flavored with very high quality ingredients. The fried Brussel sprouts were really a nice additional touch. Don't wait, get to this great restaurant. read more

Conveniently located in the Clear Lake City Blvd H-E-B shopping center, Master X is easy to get to. We liked the quiet ambiance of the decor as the backdrop for our first time trying this new place. We started with fresh fruit smoothies (strawberry banana for him; mango berry for me) and agreed they were healthy, refreshing drinks. For starters we tried the kara-age chicken which we found were several steps up on fried chicken nuggets. Even though it was not a conventional appetizer we also had their shredded coconut cake which was not too sweet or heavy, just right. The flavor and presentation of the shoyu mazeman was impressive and we were glad we felt adventurous enough to order it. Likewise with the miso ramen bowl. The taste and temperature of the entrees couldn't have been any better. We have already returned with friends to experience the upscale but understated dining at Master X Ramen. read more

If your looking for a relaxing place, I highly recommend coming here. The service is good, they checked up on us a good amount. Our server was kind and easy to talk to. The place isn't to busy so no need to worry about a crowd. The food is good. The chicken bao could use a bit more spicy mayo but aside from that I really enjoyed it. The spicy tuna tacos are a must have if you like fresh tuna. I had gotten the miso ramen, the broth itself is lacking a little bit of flavor but over all not bad. I recommend getting the spicy miso ramen for a bit more flavor. In my opinion it's not spicy, if that's what anyone is worried about. I personally didn't like the shredded coconut cake. It had a jello/mochi consistency and the coconut flavor was barely there. I personally would not get again. read more
