The environment was beautiful, the owners/founders did a good job of decorating the place and the wait time was less than 5 minutes during lunch time. The pozole tonkotsu rojo was a little bland in terms of spice, but was still very good for its price. read more

food was amazing as expected!!! would definitely go again and would definitely recommend.

amazing fusion combo !! does not disappoint any bit. A flavor explosion bomb with every bites. Parking: plenty of parket available Wait : I was aware that there will be a wait, but it's moving fast, like 10-15mins max, so it's not bad at all Ambience: Nice, warm and cozy decor inside, it can get loud read more

I don't care if it's 99° outside... I'm eating RAMEN! This was my second time visiting Ramen Del Barrio and my first time checking them out at their new location since they moved. And honestly, I really enjoyed the experience! The new spot has a great ambiance--it feels welcoming, lively, and perfect for a cozy meal. The service was good too, and everything came together for a nice dining experience. I ordered the Carnitas Tonkotsu, and BABY... the portion was HUGE! The broth was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and the carnitas were a delicious addition. I did ask for some spice on the side, and they brought me a spicy black sauce (I unfortunately don't remember the name), but LET ME WARN YOU... THAT SAUCE IS SPICY! If you're someone who loves heat, go for it but definitely add a little at a time because it will sneak up on you! This ramen honestly feels like it would make an amazing fall/winter meal. That rich broth is exactly what I want when the weather starts cooling down. Overall, I had another great experience at Ramen Del Barrio. Between the flavorful ramen, generous portions, good service, and fun atmosphere, I'll definitely be back for another bowl even if Austin is still giving us summer weather! read more

First I will preface this with this is not what I was expecting. I dropped my car off at the Lexus dealer and put in Yelp best tacos near me and it brought me here. I was not expecting Asian tacos lol. I really loved the vibe the place is really cute on the inside small and the employees are super friendly. They seem to have plenty of parking and if you're in the mood there's a tattoo place at the end of the building. I am honestly on the fence about this place because I probably should've gotten the Ramen. Both people on either side of me at the bar area had Ramen it looked and smelled delicious! My short rib taco was really good it was definitely different than I was expecting but the meat was really tender and not greasy and fatty. The snow crab tostada the man I ordered from said it was his favorite thing on the menu so I was expecting it to taste better. It was a little too mayonnaisey for me. I ate it because it was expensive, not because I liked it. I did find the wasabi tobiko interesting.? They have water and glasses out in the seating area so you can help yourself to refills all you need I had my water bottle and they said right away oh you can fill your water bottle up over here. That's a nice touch. When I arrived I think they must've just opened there was no line. But it was almost full inside. I could see how they get a line because it is a very small place. Right when you walk in there is a counter where you order everything from this really nice guy that was there and he'll answer your questions no rush rushing it was great. They see you they give you a little card with a animal on it and then people just keep bringing your food until you have no more food ordered. After that I assume you are expected to leave because people are waiting for your table so don't dillydally here! read more

Easiest 5 stars! We had a variety of their tacos which all are phenomenal. The best in my opinion was the octopus. We also shared the chilaquiles ramen which was SO GOOD. It's so creamy and delicious. There can be a line but it's def one of those places worth waiting. I will be dreaming of those flavors until I can return read more

Worth the wait in the heat. I will say the line may detour most and that's fair. Saying that come prepared. Bring an umbrella, liquids and good company cause it's going to be worth it. We have visited the new brick and mortar twice around 1pm and the line is always present. There are no to go orders and no call ahead. This helps them keep the quality in every experience. I highly recommend the pozole red! It is amazing and every sip is good magic. I don't even know how they do it but this was the first time I wanted to sip broth more than anything. With that being said the space is humble, authentic and just good vibes. read more

This review is for the new RDB! I don't like it that much when I went the first time, but damn it's climbed its way up. I think I just didn't like the mole or chilaquiles men. However the pozole ramen was so herby and fragrant and not heavy. It was fantastic. The carnitas tonkotsu may look heavy, but it's a light broth, and could use more meat. The real show stopper was the scallop tostada my god it was such a bright bite and the scallop just dissipates. The mango and the little green popping eggs were crazy!! THE SCALLOP COLD RAMEN NEEDS TO BE A PERMANENT MENU ITEM IT WAS SO SPICY ANS CHEWY AND THE SCALLOP WAS SOOO GOOODDDDD The high ball was booty cheeks like tasted like a huge shot. There was no classic lemon flavor read more

Perfection in a bowl. I had the Pazole ramen and I'm sad I'll be leaving town and can't eat it again sooner. I tried the carnitas ramen as well and while it was good, it couldn't touch the Pazole. This place is busy, packed and loud. Do not come here planning for a romantic dinner. The staff were all extremely kind and helpful. I can't wait till I'm back in Austin again. read more

The quality of food definitely has improved after 6 months of closing and now reopening! This place is definitely deserving of the Michelin guide mention. The dry noodles were excellent and full of flavor. Loved how thick and chewy the noodles were. Ramen (carnitas tonkotsu) was also another highlight. Broth was decadent and creamy. So addicting! It wasn't too salty like the first time I had it when they were still inside the supermarket. Tostadas were good too, I didn't like the octopus one because it was way too spicy but everything else was great. Really enjoyed the beef intestine and how crispy it was. My favorite was the scallop tostada though. Pork belly and short rib ones were also well flavored with that nice sweet and savory profile. The salmon sashimi was great too along with the dipping sauce that came with it. It had a nice smoky flavor. This place was so beautifully decorated. It had such a cute rustic ramen old alleyway vibe. The owner was super nice! read more

Went on a Thursday for dinner and luckily beat the crowd. You order in the front and get seated. I was skeptical about the carnitas tonkatsu because I didn't know if the meat would pair well with the ramen and I'm so glad I ordered it because wow the flavor was so good! The meat was soft and the broth was perfect level of intensity for me. The blue fin tostada was so flavorful as well. The Al pastor tacos were okay, the meat was soft but needed some type of salsa. I'd come back to try the other dishes! read more

I came here after my friends recommended it and now I totally understand the hype. Wow, the food was a amazing! We tried a few of the tacos and the tuna tostada. The tuna tostada was definitely on the spicy side, so be prepared for some heat but it was so good. I also tried the ramen my mom ordered and it was super tasty. For my drink, I went with the horchata, which was a nice balance with all the flavors and spice. We did have to wait outside for around 30 minutes, but once you're inside you are able to order at the front then we were seated and the food came out pretty quickly. The atmosphere is really cool a mix between Mexico and Japan and the service was great as well. I do think it's a little pricey, especially for tacos, but you can definitely taste the quality of the ingredients and the care that goes into the food. Overall, definitely worth trying! read more

It's Japanese Mexican cuisine noodles, along with tacos and tostadas. It just opened on July 25. The hours are from 11 to 3 and then from 4 to 10 or when they sell out. As they just opened up today, we waited in line for about 45 minutes. I guess everybody knows about this place and how great it is.! you walk in and you go out to the cashier and order your food and then you sit down and they will bring it to you. They do have a small bar in it a small. They are credit card only and if you plan to drink, please bring your ID. Everyone was extremely nice and even for their first day they did an excellent job. Would I go back again? Yeseree read more

It's one thing to come up with Mexican ramen and it's another to do it VERY WELL. We tried the pozole Ramen in both Rojo and Verde, best ever!! Great ramen egg, it's marinated and jammy. Great noodles, comparable to top ramen restaurants from CA. Broth was delicious. We even tried some side sauces, but the soup really didn't need it. You can tell if a restaurant has the passion of its chef and team behind it by the ambience and details. I personally thought the artwork of the eagle eating the ramen serpent was pretty sick (viva là México ). Staff was very friendly, welcoming, and patient in explaining the menu. 100/10 spot to come back to when ur in the ATX area. read more

Ramen Del Barrio - Pozole Ramen: Top is Rojo and bottom is Verde - Ramen Near Me - Austin, Texas

I've been dying to try this place and was so excited when they finally open their own brick and mortar! This restaurant on the inside is beautiful! We came a week after their opening on a Saturday at 10:50am and there was already people in line to wait. There were about 10-12 ppl in front of us and more people came behind us that wrapped about the building. Note this place open at 11am. We got seated 11:30am. Upon entering you will order your food first and pay for them then be seated. The food comes out pretty quick. They definitely got their system down and were very efficiency. As you finish your dishes there were staff that will pick up your dishes. There's tables in the inside and outside. We didn't see anyone get seating in the outside since it was super hot outside. The tables were being turned pretty fast. What we ordered: * Atun tostada - 4/5: it was on the sweeter side but we enjoyed it. It was unique and delicious. * callo tostada- 5/5 the best scallop tosada I had. Balance of freshness and acid,I can eat 10 of these. It was so good! The best thing we ordered. * pulpi tacos - 3/5 - the sauce that came with the octopus is hella spicy too! Some pieces of the Octopus was a tender and others a bit chewy. The tortilla fell apart due to the salsa on the taco made is soggy. * crab tosada- 2/5- it was our least favorite dish. It was a bit salty and unbalanced. * CHILAQWILES-MEN* "ROJO"- 5/5 super firey and spicy! The flavor is so good and it's addicting . It makes you want to continue to eat it even though it's hella spicy. Unfortunately our wimpy nonspicy tummies didn't agree with us so we had to stop eating it after breaking a hard sweat and overheating from the death peppers . For the spicy lovers, I think you will love this! The noodles were bouncy and every bite was exploring something new. Crispy tortilla crisp added texture to this dish. I can't get over how good the texture of the noodle was! It's like Udon's thinner cousin and ramen's thicker cousin. The width is in between. This dish is a dry noodle with a sauce. You can pick a red or green sauce. I selected the red. We loved it but we just couldn't eat it all even though we wanted to! The squeeze of lime is a must! * horchata: 4/5: refreshing cinnamony, I just wish the cup was large. With the whole cinnamon stick and ice in it, there was less liquid so I finish that drink pretty fast and regretted it was gone because I was dieing from the spicy noodles. Service was friendly fast efficient. Vibes 10000000% check pass. You were transported to Mexico japan. The decor was spot on and we love how beautiful it was. The parking lot fills up quick so if you want to try this place come early or be prepare to wait to be seated. The restaurant have ice water and cups out front for ppl waiting in line. Bring an umbrella to have shade and put on suncreen. Texas summer heat is not joke. I brought a little rechargeable fan to keep cool while waiting. Do we recommend this place? Yes! We would like to try their other ramen option and dishes. Well deserved and earned to be part of the Michelin guide and named Bib Gourmand! It's unique with Mexican and Japan fusion dishes that stands out. Bold flavors from both amazing cuisine into phenomenal dishes. read more

After a 6 month closure, Ramen Del Barrio is back with a new and improved brick and mortar! Plenty of parking here and their ordering process is seamless. We came at 2pm on a weekend so there wasn't a line, but once they let you inside, you order at the counter and they'll seat you right away. We got the scallop and tuna tostadas and both were great. The scallop had a freshness with a spicy after bite, but the tuna was a standout. The short rib taco was a bit on the pricey side, but each element came together in harmony. The carnitas tonkatsu was pleasantly light compared to ramen dishes I'm used to, but packed with flavor without being too salty. I'm excited to have this place back in my rotation! read more

The place is so well decorated and I loved it. So impressed with this new spot. Beer pours were not working but that will be figured out. I am beyond happy to love this place.

Came here for lunch on Saturday and had an amazing experience! There was a bit of a line but it did not take long for us to be seated and our food came out pretty fast after we ordered. Everything we ordered was a 10/10. The tripa taco was super unique and delicious, the pork belly taco had so much flavor, the tuna tostada had a really nice kick to it and tasted super fresh. We got the tonkatsu and pozole ramen and both were incredible. Such a unique spin on classic ramen and I think it was done perfectly. The inside of the restaurant is awesome too! Tons of seating and the decor and lighting create such an awesome vibe. read more

First off, the pastor taco and the atun tostada were amazing. I had the carnitas ramen and I couldn't help but to think it tasted BLAND. There was no hot sauce on the table to enhance the flavor. I had to end up buying some because me and my partner couldn't eat it alone. We ordered the bloody maria and the old fashioned. The bloody maria was tasty but the old fashion tasted very watered down. The place itself is very beautiful and the music was awesome. It was extremely hot and we started sweating, I don't think their ac was working. Would I go back? Probably not. I would go back for the tostada and taco but it's just too expensive for those two items. read more

The hype is definitely legit! Went on a Thursday evening after work and there was a line but it was moving pretty quickly. They will only seat you if your party is all there. The guy controlling the line was Awesome! Cheerful and can tell he really enjoyed his job and embraced his role. They have a menu outside so you can decide what you want prior going in because you order at the counter as soon as you get in. I was part of a party of four, my two friends ordered the Sashimi Special, the Atun Tostada and numerous tacos; pork belly pastor, the pulpo and the tripa . My other friend and I order the Carnitas Tonkatsu Ramen. We also got some beer and cocktails. Everything was delicious! Be aware the tacos are Spicy!! Such a great heat and all the protein nice and tender. The Carnitas Ramen was divine. Loved the combination of the two cuisines. I'm a little picky about Tonkatsu broth because I feel sometimes it's too heavy and salty but this broth was light and so satisfying. On a cold day this broth will soothe any coldness in your being. On this evening, it was still soothing and so satisfying. The noodles bouncing and had a great bite. The Carnitas was just the right amount and the grilled Jalapeno was the perfect bite to bring it all together. All four of us sat at the table with our tummies full, sweat on our foreheads and just a sense of happiness. The atmosphere is welcoming and reminded me of my childhood in the alleyway ramen shops in Tokyo. The staff is super friendly and very helpful. The guy that was controlling the line was really great... Impress he remembered returning customers, so friendly and really set the mood for a great evening. Again... The Hype is LEGIT! Looking forward to trying the Pozole style Ramen and I hope this booming business Always Keeps it Charm... It's very special. read more

I get that we showed up 20 minutes before closing. Didn't express that the door needs to be shut at all times. Yanked it from my boyfriend and closed it. Kept pressuring us to order. Couldn't give us time to look at the menu to even know what to order. Didn't clarify if we could still eat after closing time. Couldn't give you a rating on the food because we didn't get the chance to try it. Either get a different host or check his manners. read more

Best ramen I've had in years (I've tried both of the tonkotsu offerings, including the pozole both ways and the verde wins for me), so good we went two weekends in a row. Cute, vibrant place, a little hot inside (and outside, if it's a busy time expect to wait to get in, dress for comfort). Tried 3 different tacos (pastor, tripe, and costilla), all phenomenal. The yuzu Jamaica is incredible! read more

I'll start off by saying the food here is absolutely delicious. My wife and I love to eat ramen. The way they were able to combine Japanese and Mexican flavors is unbelievable. The dishes are different, unique and flavorful. We tried the Chilaquiles-Men Verde and Pozole Tonkotsu Verde. We also tried both Agua Frescas (Kurojato Horchata and Yuzu Jamaica). We enjoyed everything we ordered. We liked the atmosphere inside and the staff were friendly. My only negative feedback is regarding the wait time. We already expected there to be a wait based on online reviews, which we are fine with for good food. What confused us was that after 45 minutes of standing online outside, when we entered the restaurant, it was half empty. We were shocked. It did not make sense. I'm not sure if they weren't cleaning tables fast enough to sit people or if they needed another kiosk to take orders at the front. But to have people wait online for 45 minutes when there is plenty of seating inside is weird. Either their operations need to be improved or they purposely make a line outside to create the appeal of it being more crowded than it actually is for marketing purposes. Regardless, the food is delicious and I'd recommend going to check it out. read more

Came here after a friend recommended it. We arrived right at the 11 a.m. opening and were surprised to see a long line already forming. Thankfully, the wait was only about 30 minutes. I ordered the carnitas ramen, the scallop tostada, and one of their aguas frescas. The ramen was incredibly creamy and flavorful. My only complaint was that I couldn't find any spicy condiments or chili oil to add some heat. The scallop tostada was fresh, light, and delicious. As for the agua fresca, it was tasty but a bit overpriced in my opinion. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely come back. read more

Great food, great vibes, great people. Grateful to have this place and I can't stop coming back. The platonic ideal of food as nourishment.

I came into this with pessimism. Any food (albeit this was a fusion) remotely similar to what I've grown up with eating will get the harshest criticism from me. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed the food. There was a small issue with a clarification of an order (from an observer) that could've been handled with more decorum but hey, during the lunch-rush. I get it. The staff behind the bar were great and accommodating. The hibiscus agua Fresca was great, very refreshing. I was a little worried about getting the mole tsukemen but after getting it I was not disappointed. Great taste, and the mole sauce paired great with the thick noodles, who knew? I'd dare say it even rivaled my grandma's! Don't tell her! The pastor taco was a little pricey BUT overall taste and presentation, I can't be mad because it was delicious. And packed in a unique form. I tried some of the carnitas tonkatsu as well as the bluefin. Both good but the tsukemen was the winner for me. Even the overall look of the layout was interesting, the Izakaya look mixed well with the "traila" look. read more

Overall the food was good, but $14 for a single taco is INSANE. I'll be fair that the pastor taco was $7 (still too expensive in my opinion), but the next cheapest taco was $12... Absolutely not worth it, no matter how good the food is. As for the ramen, I've had it in the past and I would say worth the price (max $20). But the AC in the restaurant felt like it was not working, so stewing in the 104 degree Texas summer heat is no bueno, and doesn't have me craving a hot bowl of ramen. As for the staff, it almost felt like they were intentionally avoiding taking orders and seating people, which becomes a problem because there is no wait staff. If you want another drink or more food, you have to get back in line to order. Maybe this was intentional to create a line and increase hype, but it felt completely unnecessary and inconvenient. Honestly not a fun experience, and not worth the $$$. I would take your business elsewhere, unless your ordering pick-up. read more
