    A very average ramen spot. I dont think the serving size is enough, I'm never thst full. The wings were delicious though

    Nice ramen stop in Austin. I was over at the 99 Ranch Market picking up some grocery goods and needed a Ramen fix. There is a Korean Chicken place in the center that is worth a stop, I reviewed a while back. Anyway, today was Ramen day. I opted for the Chef special and it was good. Not quite like the Ramen in the Japanese centers of So. Cal but if you know what I am saying, you know. Not bad for Texas.

    I'm not sure if I'll be back again. The broth was very heavy. My stomach didn't feel good after eating, and my husband felt the same way. The tempura was a bit soggy inside.

    Handroll tasting

    Review for the Rollies handroll pop up. Dined twice. 4 rolls plus mini ramen bowl for $33. Can order extra rolls, additional cost. Overall great experience, loved the toasted nori. All rolls were good. Only issue I had was the taste of the chashu in the ramen. Broth and noodles were fine. Not sure if it was just me, I couldn't eat the chashu because of a weird kinda "old" pork taste. At the second visit, I opted for chicken ramen instead. My nephew got the chashu ramen. He also said something was off about the pork.

    Never tried Sazan before, but came for their new summer pop-up: Rollies by Sazan! 4 hand rolls + a mini bowl of ramen for only $33 (+ tax/tip and any add-ons) was a steal. Only served at the bar, with limited seatings per night. They were testing out a new concept and are hoping to roll our hand roll options across the standard menu in the future. Overall, I really enjoyed the hand rolls. Unfortunately I can't say the same for the ramen itself, but all of the hand rolls were spot-on, generously portioned, and well thought out. It was a great deal and I would return for the concept! QUICK FACTS: - Parking? Yes, located in the popular 99 Ranch area with other Asian businesses. - Reservations? Yes, required for this specific experience offering. Can be booked via OpenTable, under select Experiences. FOOD RATINGS: - Bluefin tuna (5/5) - Ocean trout (5/5) - Hamachi (5/5) - Unagi (4/5) - Paitan ramen (2/5): Way too much arugula, which is bitter. The raw onion was also a no-go for me. The broth wasn't terrible, it just wasn't great. The chicken was dry, and the egg was standard. I wouldn't come here to order this. - Snow crab (5/5): Bonus hand roll for extra $. Worth it! And chef was kind enough to split it in half for us so we could both try it. Delicious, melt-in-your-mouth with the Dashi butter. - Hokkaido scallop (5/5): Another bonus hand roll for extra $. Love scallops and this one was a great bite!

    Revisited after 2 years and it's still good! This place has better service, broth, and noodles than a lot of other popular ramen spots in Austin. The service here is great, super friendly staff that all seem to get along. They probably have the best vegan ramen option in town. The noodles are chewy and almost hard to tell apart from traditional style noodles. The paitan broth sets this place apart from others since it's hard to find a good creamy (like tantanmen) type ramen in Austin.

    Spicy Paitan

    This place rocks! The food and service was amazing. The spicy Paitan was great. Not too spicy but has a good kick. The only complaint is I'd prefer if the cilantro was cut up a little more. The prices were affordable too. Good food, good service, good prices! I walked into the restaurant thinking I was about to pay a lot since it looked so nice and fancy inside. Definitely will be coming back!

    We came here with friends and I do believe it is a testament to how good the broth and noodles were as all four of our bowls were empty at the end of the evening. This place is cozy. Our party had a long day vending at a local market and we came hungry and tired. We each ordered slightly different ramen. I got the signature paitan. TBH, I was a little surprised to find a little arugula salad atop my ramen when it came out BUT wow, the nutty taste of the arugula was a pleasant surprise to my palate! The noodles had a nice bite to them, the brothy broth was flavorful down to the last spoonful, not overpoweringly salty like most ramen shops. The pork- tender, fell apart with my chopsticks! Next time I will ask for no chopped onions in my bowl. Does need it at all! This is a must return the next time we are in this area.

    At first glance it's a very nice and modern looking restaurant with a full bar! We ordered the Signature Paitan w/ Classic Spicy and Super Spicy bombs. The super spicy was pretty spicy for those spicy lovers. We also got the ATX Tempura & Steamies, the concept of the tempura was neat that you could pull it apart and the steamies pretty good as well. Throughout our time there staff always check on us and we very kind

    Ultimate Tonkotsu
    Mariel T.

    Always a solid experience at Sazan. I recommend the date night special: any two drinks (including cocktails!), 1 app, 2 entrees, and 2 desserts for about $60. Soft serve this round was ube and it was everything I wanted and a little more only thing I didn't love was the waffle cone, but this isn't a specialty ice cream shop. Their tonkotsu is very flavorful, and the paitan is good too.

    I thought for sure this spot would get a Bib Gourmand nod from TX's Michelin wranglings. Its total game had gotten freaking tight. Amazing details like the cleanest butchered chicken wings that had perfectly seasoned dry rub and were über über über juicy that tasted like perfection every single time. Incredible servers like Lila who is the best of the best at service. Expos that kept a hawk eye on the kitchen, the food, the service, and the customer experience. Really tight ship for years. Ramen still yums, but last visit was out of step with its stellar consistency. Food prep was uneven--the glorious chicken wings were poorly butchered and just not good. Wings were dried out and meat tasted old. Edamame was overcooked. Food sitting at expo station when restaurant was empty. All of the staff seemed new except for seriously the most amazing server in the world, Lila. I even asked Lila if Sazan had changed owners bc it seemed so off. Sazan used to feel like the owners aimed for 100. It was so on point and genuinely excellent. I have uber compassion for restaurant staff, not advocating for employees to work harder here. This restaurant has been so excellent, and as a genuine fan, would love if the owners prioritized maintaining that over anything. Weird to appreciate a restaurant's excellence this much but on the verge of its loss at Saz...

    Spicy Paitan
    Ashley C.

    an upscale attempt at ramen. i came here to try this place out since i heard from several people it was good...i was sadly disappointed. it is also on the pricier side. i tried the spicy paitan, the broth was the only good part. the pork chashu was sad, at first glance it looked plain but i was hoping it would be in turn very tender. nothing special. the egg was weirdly sweet. for the signature ramen, the arugula was a little odd. i had weird interactions with the service, it lacked warmth and overall didn't make for a comfortable experience.

    Signature Paitan
    Sarah L.

    Still our favorite ramen spot. Consistency every time with service and food. I wanted to try their new special oyster ramen, but I can't seem to break away from the signature paitan. I do want to come back and try it, it sounded delightful.

    Does their broths contain shellfish?

    Ramen broths typically contain bonito flakes/katsuobushi (fish flakes) niboshi (sardines) and kelp. That said, if you have for sensitivities/allergies, you would be best to ask the restaurant.

My first time wasn't too memorable and the second time I got the ultra spicy veggie ramen and it was so spicy I cried (which is good haha i have very high spice tolerance so I'm glad I found a spot that can do truly spicy). This time, I got the deluxe Chicken Paitan DX Ramen (the one that comes with the chicken leg). Chicken Paitan DX Ramen: A sweet soy glazed chicken leg is served on a hot sizzling plate with a small bed of bean sprouts marinating in the sauce. The sauce is a sticky, sweet soy sauce that is so delicious. The chicken leg itself is tender, juicy, and has a great skin texture. The skin soaks up the sauce so well and even has some nice charred bits that add to the flavor and complexity of the dish. The ramen itself was great too. A creamy rich chicken broth. I got the spicy level, so one level under the top spice level and it was perfect. Not unbearably spicy, but had a really nice underlying kick. The noodles are a thin yet snappy noodle so it made it easy to eat. I love the corn and mushroom spirals too! Overall, if you come based on this review, make sure to get the chicken paitan dx ramen. There are only 15 served in a day but ask them if they have it because I was able to get one on a Monday night at around 8PM! It's a nice space, good for a date or even a casual hangout. They have tables to accomodate parties of 1, 2, 4, and possibly 6.

The flavors were really good and better than the MI-SO-HOT. The only complaint about the broth was that it wasn't warm or hot. The noodles were bouncy and thick like udon, which I loved. They only gave one slice of chashu, which was disappointing, so I'm glad we added the extra Goma Pork/Sesame Seasoned Ground Pork ($2.50) and Naruto Maki ($1.50).

The bowl was loaded with a ton of lettuce or cabbage and piles of green onions, which totally threw off the balance of the dish. Before, the flavor was rich, deep, and spicy in a satisfying way. This time it felt watered down, overly bulky from the vegetables, and the overall taste just did not resemble what I remember at all. It felt like a completely different recipe. On top of that, the restaurant was dead at lunch, which was surprising for this place. The inside layout and seating have also been changed, and the space feels less cozy and more awkward than before. The whole vibe is just different. I hate writing this because this used to be the OG best ramen spot in town, but it has gone really downhill. Between the recipe change, the overload of greens, and the interior changes, it just was not the same experience. With so many new and better options around Austin now, I will not be returning.

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.
