    Egg roll
    Barbara P.

    After 3 years we decided to give this place another try. The stellar reviews on yelp and Google had us optimistic. Sadly, the food is even worse than the first time we tried. We got the spicy tuna roll, and the crunch roll, tonkotsu ramen, and gyoza. The rolls had a very stale seaweed in them. It was so chewy we almost choked. The crunchy roll was doused in a super sweet sauce which overpowered the crab and avocado. The tonkotsu had an off putting taste and came with 2 very thin, very dry slices of chashu. The gyoza was nothing memorable and the cosmopolitan I ordered was watered down juice in a glass. We won't be returning. For $70 the quality of the food MUST improve.

    Spicy Seafood Ramen
    Bianca M.

    Came on a Sunday evening with my family. I would say pretty kid - friendly. The atmosphere was very clean and welcoming. Service was attentive. My husband got a Firecracker Roll and a Godzilla roll. Both were made with care and precision. The flavor was robust but not over powering. They both were cooked rolls and the crispy ness on the outside was really good. Presentation perfect. I got the Jalapeño Crab appetizer. Not too spicy but just enough kick. Me and my son shared the Seafood Spicy ramen. It was DELICIOUS! The flavor has a miso undertone and the spice is really good. I loved how spicy it was but I had to moderate myself a bit. It was definitely spicer than the rolls but I like it like that. They gave a good amount of scallops, shrimp and fish cakes. The ramen was fresh and not too soft. Loved the onion as a garnish.

    Chicken ramen+Snow white rolls+egg rolls

    The food was good. I ordered from Uber eats and the food arrived within the stated timeframe. I ordered chicken fried rice, the Snow White roll, spring rolls and chicken ramen. My favorite item was the Snow White roll, my least favorite was the fried rice. There wasn't much added flavor other. The ramen was delicious. I enjoyed the portion of noodles to broth and veggies. I'm looking forward having an in person experience because I'm sure it'll be a step above the delivery order.

    Why 5 stars? Because this was the best ramen I've had in the area. --- --- --- I think I bookmarked Sam Ramen about 2 years ago. Every time it gets cold outside since then, I've thought, "I should check out that Sam Ramen place," but then I don't, and next thing you know, it's summer and I don't want ramen anymore. But finally, I was determined to come check it out, despite it being a pretty warm February day. I was a bit congested and just like all doctors advise, I thought ramen would be the best medicine. Since moving to the area about 2.5 years ago, I've had ramen at a few different places and have been disappointed each time. I'm not sure if it's just the nature of living in the suburbs or that too many places are attempting to master a concept that requires more work than they're willing to admit, but either way, the subpar experiences have almost ruined ramen for me. Almost. Sam Ramen, thankfully, was anything but subpar. Was the tonkotsu the best ramen I've ever had in my life? I can't say that, but I've also had ramen in Tokyo aka the mecca. But this was definitely my favorite to-date in the Houston area and it hit the spot perfectly. Probably the one nitpick is that I like a thicker noodle, but the flavor of everything was pretty perfect. My wife ordered some edamame and some sushi, which I also indulged on. Edamame would never be my choice, but did I eat like 100 of them? Absolutely. She also let me have some of her Shaggy Dog roll, which was solid, but not as great as the ramen. Our service was also prompt and friendly. Kudos to Sam Ramen and sorry it took me so long to visit!

    Seafood Korean Ramen
    Kim D.

    Went to Sam Ramen with family and it was amazing! The place is spacious and clean, and service is quick and great. I ordered the seafood Korean ramen and it was unbelievably rich in flavor. Spicy for sure but manageable! I'd say it's about as strong as spicy Jin ramen. Great mix of noodles (on the softer side) and fresh toppings too. I'd suggest getting an extra marinated egg too, I really love that they aren't the sweet kind. My parents had shrimp lo mein and veggie miso ramen and they said both dishes were flavorful. Also, the servings are huge so you're definitely getting your money's worth here!

    Came here for lunch on a cool day with a friend. This place was clean and quiet on a weekday. Our waitress was attentive and gave us great recommendations. They have a lunch special with sushi rolls but I wanted to give their ramen a try this go around. Their spicy miso is a fan favorite but I wanted something with seafood so I went for the spicy seafood Korean style ramen. It was definitely spicy but not overbearing. I enjoyed the shrimp and scallops that came with the ramen and loved how much fresh veggies came with it! The egg was probably my favorite part, it was so flavorful and cooked just right. I definitely recommend this place - you won't be disappointed!!

    Chicken ramen - hubby has declared this his favorite bowl of ramen EVER!
    Christine S.

    Since it was a cold and gloomy day, I wanted something nice and warm. Something like a nice big bowl of soup, better yet...a bowl of ramen! My husband isn't as big a fan of ramen as my son and I are but he acquiesced and off we went. First, I love the vibe of this place! Really clean, bright and great seating. We ordered way too much food but hey LEFTOVERS! By the time we left my husband had pronounced this his favorite bowl of ramen yet! We will definitely be back, again and again!

    If you love your stomach don't eat here! I ordered today a ramen and it made me sick. I had to vomit while I was driving. I have a very strong stomach and this is the second time in my whole life that I get food poisoning. I managed to vomit on my polo shirt but unfortunately my car got messed up. I'll post more pictures once I arrive home. I called the manager and explain the situation. She did not seem to be apologetic and she said she couldn't do anything. Please, eat somewhere else. The place is expensive for this to happen!

    Garlic Black Bean Ramen with extra egg.
    Hailey C.

    Amazing ramen place to go too! Staff is always super friendly and the food is freshly made ready hot! My go-to ramen is Garlic Black Bean Ramen with extra egg added in. Favorite appetizer: cheese wontons & gyoza (pan fried dumplings). Bathrooms are always clean and smell like flowers, so they are good about their work environment being clean too. Cute little detail that I noticed is that they have a flower on each table. Glad to have a really good ramen place on 242 that is easy to stop by and grab a bite!

    Curry spicy miso
    Lauren B.

    I'm in love!!! A new spot opening up in our Neigbor H‑E‑B shopping center and I cannot be happier. Inside is very clean and modern looking. Lots Of booths to pick from or tables. The curry spicy miso soup was perfectly spicy and delicious. We went with the super crunchy roll, the texas roll( so creamy), and California roll, all great. The kids had the chicken lo mein, no complains; they ate everything on their plate. We shared the combination fried rice, it was all perfection. Very friendly staff. Couldn't ask for more

    Curry ramen and katsu chicken
    Kat Y.

    The curry ramen was so yummy, the broth was very flavorful. I enjoyed the bao bun as well. Will return! The waitress was also very kind, I started coughing because I drank to much water and she got so concerned it was cute. She was also very kind to my 2 year old son. Very warm environment.

    Spicy Miso Ramen
    Zachary P.

    My first impressions, quite honestly I was not expecting much. I came in with the mindset that this would be another Ramen / Sushi place that taste like the rest, but oh BOY was I wrong. The server was absolutely amazing, immediately sat us and took our drink order right then and there. We pretty much knew exactly what we wanted prior to coming in, just based on what we were craving and oh my gosh did it all taste absolutely amazing. The Ramen had to be one of the most flavorful and perfectly portioned sized ramen that I have ever had. The taste of the umami, mixed with miso, and the perfect amount of spiciness was just killer. Not only that, we ordered some sushi and oh my goodness did the Tuna taste fresh. I most definitely will be coming back here during their lunch hours because this fish that they serve here is FRESH and DELICIOUS. If you haven't come to this location, you are definitely doing yourself a disservice. I was very happy and will start coming as a regular, thank you again for the amazing food, you definitely got a customer here!

    Spicy miso
    Tony S.

    My wife and I have been waiting for Sam Ramen to open for a long time. Our first visit did not disappoint. We strickly came in for ramen although we do love sushi and well pretty much every other option on the menu. We both ended up choosing the same ramen this visit, the Garlic Black Bean Ramen. It was very tasty, I know people are very picky about their ramen as we are too. We do have our favorites and definite not favorites. That being said this is up there with our favorites! Great flavor, not a one note broth. The chashu was fall apart and smoky. If one suggestion, the soy egg needs more marinating and less of a boil but remember the restaurant is a day old they are still growing. Since that visit we have gone back today. I always have my wife choose the sushi and rolls and she keeps track of the ones we have at different locations to remember which we love and do not love. So tonight we had appetizers, sushi, rolls, and I had a different bowl of ramen. I'll say mine first which was the Tonkotsu. Great buttery flavor in the broth along with even more smoky chashu the egg is improving (Not as hard of a boil) I do wish it were a whole soft boil egg, I love that opening that and the creamy yolk mixing with the broth. Appetizers we had were the egg rolls and Yakitori which OMG! Yes 2 dozen of both please! My wife ordered the sushi for both of us. Nagiri was Hamachi and Unagi both were very fresh and large. We both would like a little more sauce on our Unagi but it still tasted great. As for rolls we had Philladelphia, Pasadena, and Snow White. I won't go into great detail about them but all were very good, both of our favorite of those would be the Snow White. I'm sorry we didn't take pics of all, we dug in because they looked delicious and forgot to take a pic... next time. I know some love to complain about this and that when a new place opens but they don't think there is a learning/growing curve and give them a chance oh yeah and don't be ignorant... a little understanding goes a long way. Trust me we showed up a little after 8pm opening night and were turned away because they ran out of a lot of items and instead of saying sorry all we have is this or that they would rather you come back and enjoy the full menu. We came back the next night which was our first visit detailed above. Give them a shot because they will not disappoint. Since this visit we have been visiting almost weekly. Every time trying something new and so far have not been disappointed.

    HUGE SHOUTOUT to XAVIER, the BEST HOST I have EVER encountered!! It was mine and my wife's first…read moretime ever coming here and Xavier, even though they (I'm unsure of their pronouns and I am so sorry I did not ask while there, I was just completely blown away by the quality of service) were super busy and had a lot of guests already there, they took the time to explain the menu FROM MEMORY PERFECTLY and answered all of our many questions, most of them before we could even ask them, that's how PERFECTLY they explained the menu!! From there, to my utter disbelief and complete pleasure, the service ONLY GOT BETTER! I am making sure to capitalize certain parts for emphasis because words truly do not do justice for the quality of service provided by Xavier! They checked in on us the perfect amount of times and at the absolute perfect times, they refilled our drinks before we even had to ask, they checked to make sure we had everything we needed, they checked to see how we were enjoying everything and asked if there was anything they could do for us, they asked the whole room if the TV volume was too loud or too quiet or just right and adjusted accordingly (it was a tad too quiet, so their asking and adjusting took our whole experience to a completely higher level), and when we were finished they came and asked us if we needed anything "to go" containers which we did, they even gave us a bag and also threw in a set of utensils each for us, some napkins, and a couple of each of their sauce packets to ensure we could enjoy the same tastes that we did while we were there!! I mean, just absolutely 1000% stellar service from Xavier! And all with not only a smile, but a smile with a warmth to it, and a friendly and inviting and caring aura and demeanor, I truly just can not put it into words, you HAVE to experience Xavier's service for yourselves! I have been to many restaurants from holes in the walls to upscale Michelin star restaurants and I have never written a review for any of them but I absolutely had to write a review so that anybody thinking about coming here could see this and know that if Xavier is there, you are truly in AMAZING hands and you will ABSOLUTELY be taken care and made to feel like family no matter how many other guests are there! Thank you so much Xavier, from the bottom of mine and my wife's heart for making our experience here completely OUT OF THIS WORLD and truly EXTRAORDINARY!! I pray that you are there when we come back again! We would also like to shoutout the cooks, Xavier mentioned them to us when taking to us, I believe their names were Key (possibly Keith? I apologize!) and Sebastian! The food was absolutely divine! We ate so much until we couldn't eat anymore and had to take the rest home with us but I'm not even mad about it, the food was so good and the leftovers I'm sure will be absolutely delicious as well tomorrow! Next time we are in town this place, this shrine and palace of Dragon Ball, is an ABSOLUTE MUST STOP AGAIN spot for us!! Thank you again so much Xavier. You didn't ask me to write this review, you never even brought it up, you didn't even want to take our tip, but that's just another tell of how I know your service was so absolutely raw and beautifully genuine. You are a light to this world, you are an absolute asset to this restaurant, and you have done what Michelin star restaurants and my English professor could never make me do and that's write a whole essay of a review! But you truly deserve the recognition, the praise, (a better tip next time and a makeup tip for today!), and so so so much more! Thank you Dragon Bowl C for employing such an amazing human being and such good cooks to cook us such delicious food! (I copy and pasted my review from my Google review but Yelp is limiting me to 5,000 characters which is crazy that I've written over that total so I'm going to delete some of my Google review that I'm going to reiterate here. Xavier's service and the food the cooks Ke (spelling?) and Sebastian made were so EXTRAORDINARY and DELICIOUS that I made a Yelp account just to post my first Google review onto Yelp as well! THAT is how amazing it was to be served by Xavier, to be in such a shrine of my favorite childhood anime, and how delicious our food was! It deserved AT THE VERY LEAST a review, and I PROMISE to do more next month when my wife and I are in town! I am so extremely sorry and absolutely ashamed of myself for not having any more cash save a $5 bill because the service we received in those 30 minutes alone was worth at the minimum 10 times that, $50 at the absolute least, and the food is nowhere near that per person! That's how amazing the service experience from Xavier is! I swear to you that I will make it up to you next month Xavier!! My wife wants to make sure to tell you that she agrees with everything I have said in this and so much more, you were an absolute joy and pleasure to talk to and a light to us both!)

    amazing fresh food…read more great check em out setting is great place is clean staff is kind great awesome !! thank you
