This is my first time ever going to wrong anywhere and it was good. The staff was friendly place was clean. No major complaints. However, I prefer Pho over Ramen for my liking. It was good no issues.
Overall: 3.8/5 [takeout] 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.
Delicious ramen! I had the Texas Tonk ramen and it lives up to being a very Texas vibe of ramen. Brisket, ramen, yum! The OG is a solid and flavorful ranen more like a traditional tonkotsu. Also tasty! Finally brisket "pockets" were a great, cheezy, briskety gyoza style appetizer. The ambience here is very Japan and lovely! Service super fast. Definitely a must go Austin location.
Definitely come here to be transported to a different place! I love the outdoor seating here. The vibes are so fun and casual. 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!
Back again, we are hear a year ago and really liked it so we came back. The ambiance is really cool, nice setup and decor. The food is priced okay, not cheap but not overpriced. The ramen itself is bomb! I had the spicy ramen, not really spicy at all, I had to order a "spice bomb." Kinda wack that they charge for spice but it definitely made the meal way better. We will be back. Parking in a Friday night anywhere near 6th street is tough, luckily we found parking behind the restaurant. The service could be a little less edgy, smile and be courteous, you might like it.
Ramen here consistently hits the mark. The broth is rich and well balanced, noodles are cooked perfectly, and every bowl feels dialed in. Easily a go to spot when you want ramen that delivers every time. My fave is Curry Nu skool and I'm not even Vegan/Veg They also do drinks right. The draft Kirin is always cold and crisp, and the house hot sake is surprisingly good and smooth, especially on cooler nights. Chill, laid back vibe overall. The outdoor seating is a big + and the heaters make it comfortable even when it's cold out. Great spot for a relaxed dinner or casual night out.
Delicious steamy ramen and strong, creative cocktails? What's not to love. This is the go-to spot for ramen in Austin. I've been here easily a dozen times at this point, and I've been able to enjoy new specials pretty regularly so it's never a boring experience.
This place was recommended as a good ramen spot and it had some good ramen. You place your order and then you're seated. We opted to sit outside and there was a bar out there as well as inside. I got the Sho-Yu ramen ($14) and it was delicious. My only complaint was that there wasn't enough broth. It got crowded really fast but the outdoor area was nice and the bartenders recommended some good options based off our preferences.
Stopped by Ramen Tatsu-Ya last night to celebrate a birthday with some loved ones and had a really nice, low-key evening. We chose to dine outside, and even for an early Saturday night it was surprisingly quiet and relaxed, which set the tone perfectly. Ordering at the bar was smooth. The bartenders were friendly, accurate, and genuinely helpful, which always makes a difference. We also started with an order of the katsu sliders, and they were a great way to kick things off: tasty, juicy, and full of flavor. Definitely a solid appetizer choice. For ramen, my partner in crime and I went with our usual favorites. I ordered the OG ramen and added a corn bomb, beni shoga, and tofu. The broth was still as rich and flavorful as ever, and the corn bomb added a great depth that really enhanced it. My PIC opted for the Mi-So-Hot and loved it! The heat really came through and delivered exactly what he was hoping for. The only slight letdown was the chashu in my bowl, which was a bit thinner and drier than I've had here in the past. It stood out mainly because I know how good it can be. Thankfully, the rest of the bowl held up well. Between the calm outdoor seating, great service, and consistently solid broth, the ambience and overall experience were spot-on. Still a reliable choice for ramen nights, especially when you're looking for something relaxed but satisfying.
Whoever is giving this place anything less than 5 stars, go give your mom a hug because you can't appreciate reliability and real soul. Every person who has visited me while I've lived in ATX has loved this spot and asked to comeback. The broth is so creamy and delicious that my mouth is watering writing this. My only complaint is that I wish they had split off tables instead of cafeteria styled seating because I always feels so close to other people and can't really have a one on one conversation with friends here because I'm damn near sitting on someone else's lap. But that's the price I'm willing to pay for their ramen. It's that good.
The place has that lively, cozy ramen shop energy that makes you feel like you're in Tokyo (even though I've never been). Service was friendly and quick, and the staff clearly know their menu well. I ordered the Mi So Hot ramen, and while it definitely had great flavor, it was way spicier than I expected. The guy helping me order said it wasn't that spicy, but it was honestly so hot that it was hard to really enjoy the broth and toppings. If you love heat, you'll probably be in heaven, but if you're more of a medium-spice person, I'd recommend something milder. The gyoza dumplings were pretty solid and deserve 5 stars on their own!
The service is quick and I like the interior of the restaurant. Flavor wise, this place is just okay. They don't put enough noodles inside and the broth is greasy and a little bland as well.
Reliable rayman. The broth is consistently good. I'm usually not a fan of their spicy ramen or similar kind just because they put loose corn and ground beef in there. Which made me question........WAT? All the other ramens are good. The texas tonk was a limited time selection. Costed a bit more but had a pretty nice smoky flavor to it. There is a nice outdoor seating connected the sister bar. Overall it's a nice fast place with all good walk nearby. Staff is always nice and helpful on selections.
BOOZY HIBI-GIBI PUNCH Sake, sweet hibiscus tea & lemongrass. Who knew sake would match so well with hibiscus tea. It's ligh and refreshing, a great drink to start the meal. MI-SO-HOT Spicy pork bone broth with miso. I opted for the keto version and replaced the noodles with bean sprouts. This was my favorite dish! The broth was rich and flavorful, although it was a little too salty for my taste. CHILI OIL GYOZA jalapeño ,soy sauce, chili oil, shallots, negi, cilantro & spicy garlic furikake. They were so nice to give these to me for free! The gyoza was flavorful, but there were almost too many flavors going on, the soy sauce, chili oil and furikake somewhat overpowered the taste of the gyoza itself. Also a little salty for me. Overall, a great dining experience. It's a cute Japanese restaurant with lots of fun Japanese displays and a lively atmosphere. The staff were especially friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my meal and would definitely come back on my next trip to Austin read more

Ramen Tatsuya has gone down in quality since i've been in college. On our recent return, we were pretty dissatisfied with the meal overall. I ordered my go-to the shoyu and my husband ordered the tsukamen (his usual go to here). Both bowls were too salty. My ramen broth was not very emulsified and there was a layer of oil on top. The noodles were still pretty bouncy and chewy. We also ordered our long time favorite- the brussels sprouts here, but even this app has decreased in quality. They peel off each layer of the brussels now, so the dish is just flaky crunchy pieces instead of whole sprouts. I didn't really enjoy the texture that much, especially because there was no contrast, just crunch. It was pretty messy and hard to eat. Overall, I don't think I will come back again. Some things are better left in sweet memories, and ramen tatsuya is one of those places. read more
I always get the Nu Skool or the Curry No Skool here as a vegetarian. I like these two options but do wish they had more vegan or vegetarian ones, although you can customize it with add ins like extra tofu or the spice bomb or corn bomb. Lines can get long especially on the weekends so go early or expect a bit of a wait. But what's nice is that you order and pay at the counter and you seat yourself. Food usually comes out pretty quickly too. Ramen Tatsu-Ya and Sazan are my two favorite spots for ramen in Austin so far out of all the places I've tried. read more
Ramen Tatsuya is a ramen shop that I credit with being the best bowl of ramen I have had stateside. We visited around 2pm on a Friday afternoon and the restaurant was understandably empty. You place your order at the front, take a number, and find your own seat. I ordered the Tsukemen and also got to try the tonkotsu shoyu and the tonkotsu original, all favorites that I have ordered in the past. The soups tasted a bit different and more bone-y (kind of like a papery taste) than what I remember. The noodles are the same as always, bouncy, delicious, and great at clinging onto soup. The brussels sprouts (sweet and sour yodas) used to be whole or halved, but now they come shredded and are much more difficult to eat and simply not as delicious. We also got to try their chili oil gyoza, a seasonal special, and I thought that they were quite delicious. Same phenomenal gyoza recipe but now topped with sweet, sour, and slightly spicy sauce and finished with herbs. I'm on the fence whether I would return but coming back recalls a lot of good memories. I hope that we just had a one off with the slightly off tasting broth or visited when the broth was over reducing in between peak times. Either way, Tatsuya is still worth a visit if you've never been, but perhaps a visit with lowered expectations. read more

This is my go to restaurant when I'm in Texas. Austin or Houston. I ADORE!! I always tend to get the same ramen, but I do change up the appetizers or beverage when I go. I just LOVE the combination of ground pork and spice in a ramen and they do it very well. They have a unique menu and it always brings me back. Try one of the flavor bombs if you're feeling fancy. Everyone is always so nice and patient, and the restaurants are always beautiful- any location! read more
My son wanted to introduce us to this place and it was our first stop over Parents Weekend. By the time we arrived after flight, rental car, and hotel, we were starving. Luckily it was 2pm and only 3 other customers were there. An employee was wiping down the tables and the place was clean and modern. Thankfully, the food came out freaky fast but you could tell it was freshly made. The OG soup hit the spot and we added all of the fire bomb spice. I really liked the woodear mushrooms and the noodles were just the right texture. Karaage chicken was flavorful and meaty. Self serve water. And we were rejuvenated and ready for our next adventure! We'll be back to check out the alley and patio next time! read more

My boyfriend and I just moved to Austin from Seattle and I thought we were pretty spoiled with our ramen there but WOW we were blown away by this place. The broths were so creamy and flavorful, the service was so quick (food came out within 10 mins), and the music is fun/upbeat. 10/10 would come again! read more
I recently visited Ramen Tatsu-Ya and it was an instant love at first bite kinda experience. I have always wanted to visit this Ramen place for quiet sometime , especially because of a large golden cat statue waving at you and the colorful Japanese lights around the outdoor space. Being a vegetarian, was thrilled to see multiple vegan Ramens. I was recommended to try the Curry Nu Skool with Nori and Yuzu. The ramen was flavorful and you don't even need Yuzu since Yuzu was a hard spicy paste but not flavorful. The curry was great by itself. Loved and will return back. read more
Great evening meal on a rainy February Tuesday. Arrived at 5:30pm and there was plenty of seating available. The restaurant was clean and had beautiful communal wood tables for folks to sit at. It was counter service, so we ordered upon entry and found a seat. The food came out less than 10 minutes later, and everything looked and smelled fantastic. We got the spicy tonkatsku ramen, the pork chasu rice bowl (side), and one of the happy hour specials (Japanese pork croquette). Pretty awesome happy hour with all small bites 1/2 off from 4-6pm on weekdays! We were very happy with the portions, and flavors were very good! The chasu rice was perhaps a bit rich and over-sauced, but in truth I'd rather have too much flavor than too little. Service was fantastic--they even offered us samples of their soft serve ice cream. Really happy that we just got samples though as the dreamsicle flavor wasn't my favorite lol. Definitely would come back. read more
I heard that Ramen Tatsu-Ya was the go to spot for Austin and wanted to see for myself. And while it didn't blow me we - I enjoyed almost everything I had! For the appetizers, the chicken karrage and chashu rice bowl are easy recommends. The chashu in the rice bowl especially was incredible, very flavorful and tender. As for the ramen - the broth, goma pork, chashu, egg was fantastic. My biggest criticism is the noodles itself. I believe they use a thinner white noodle which doesn't absorb flavor that well so it's not soaking up that tasty broth. read more

Took my kids here to warm our bellies before heading to the trail of lights. Best call! We ordered two bowls of ramen. They split the shoyu and I got the mi so not. Flavorful and rich. We ate it up and still had a container and a half to take home! Place your order at the counter and find a seat at the shared eating spaces (long tables seat multiple parties). My kids liked the box seats and chopstick helpers...and I think eating next to strangers made them act a little tamer than they were feeling. Great start to an awesome night! read more

Really great vegan ramen! Super flavorful broth, tofu was yummy, and noodles were perfectly cooked. It's a struggle to find vegetarian ramen, and this one is definitely worth it! We were there on a Sunday and there was no line and ample seating. read more

The servers are so kind. It's outdoor and you order at the bar. It's spacious so it isn't too crowded, and the ramen is the best I have had literally ever in my life. The texture is so well done, the ratios of noodle to broth and the add-ins. There's nearby parking too. read more

I love ramen in general and this place was the perfect go to in Austin especially because of it's prime location on the 6th street. There's a cute cat statue at the entrance leading to the hallway. We chose the outdoor space and it was beautifully decorated with colorful lights. There were tables and booths but you have go to the front to order. They don't take orders. The only option available for me was the curry nu skool and it was flavorful. The portion was too much for me but it was worth the price. They even serve tiny holders for your chop sticks incase you struggle with it. read more

How busy does it get on Friday nights?
It definitely fills up. You do order at the counter though, so that speeds up the process significantly. There are also multiple areas to sit, and turnover is usually quick!
Are there any soy free options?
Our only soy-free option will be the Gluten Free Original Tonkotsu, which comes without the tare, chashu and ajitama. For toppings, the following are soy-free: parmesan, garlic, nori, beni shoga, corn, kikurage, scallions, and the yuzu bomb. We are…
Did y'all get rid of the tsukemen dipping ramen?
Yes. Its not on the menu at least for Lakeline and the one beside Kemuri. I didn't visit other stores
Do they have happy hour and if so what times?
We do not have a happy hour at this time.
Are the portion sizes for takeout ramen the same as when eating in?
Yes, they are the same, very large portion that's about 2 meals for me.
Do they take reservations? I don't see the option on Yelp or their website and I can't call.
Yes, visit their website. Just search for the restaurant name.
Is this place ever not crowded? Serious question?
Just the same as any restaurant, if you go during peak hours it'll be busier. It's rare that I wait more than 5 minutes at any Ramen Tatsu-Ya location. Just go before noon, between 2-6pm, or after 9pm.
Do they have a terrace ? I have a dog with me do they allow dogs?
No they do not :(
