This place feels like stepping into a cozy ramen shop in Japan! The broth is tasty and comforting without being heavy and the noodles are delicious. What really surprised me was the onigiri. They are made and prepared fresh with care and there is a variety of flavors! It's rare to find a spot that has both great ramen and rice dishes. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and you can tell it's run with a lot of heart! If you're looking for comforting and authentic Japanese food, this spot absolutely deserves your support! I will definitely be coming back! read more

I have been driving past this place for a while now so I finally had time to stop and try it. They have a good selection of items that are not all pork. Their vegetarian menu is delicious! I also loved their onigir. This is one of the few that has well seasoned rice and ample stuffing inside. I tried their tuna onigri and vegetarian ramen with soft boiled egg. A hearty meal that hit the spot. May just become my go to ramen spot in McKinney. read more

Tiger ramen is good, however I like the tonkatsu broth more than the paitan chicken based broth that they have here. Its clear the chicken broth was cooked low and slow for a long time, however it still reminded me a bit to much of just really good chicken noodle soup base which i have never thought of when eating ramen before. I was also a little let down by the onigiri- I tried the beef one. It was mainly rice that didnt seem to be seasoned at all- and then a bit of beef and I think pickled ginger or beet. Not much flavor and I wouldn't order it again. Its the first time I have had onigiri and I saw others said it reminded them of authentic onigiri from Japan so please take my review with that in mind. Truly I feel like my experience was a 3 star experience but I bumped my rating up and extra star because my extremely picky son loved the ramen broth and so did my husband. I love supporting small businesses like this so I may come back to pick up ramen for my family if I want the night off from cooking. Thank you tiger ramen for coming to mckinney and I wish you the best! read more

Stopped in for a quick bite to check this place out. What a fun experience and great ramen and hand rolls. Sit at the bar watch them make everything to order. I 100% recommend stopping by, I will now become a regular! read more

Happened to stop in today on their grand opening day! We tried their full-ramen set and weren't disappointed. We picked the paitan and the onigiri of the day was the salmon onigiri. The paitan was flavorful - nitamago (egg) had a very distinct flavor, menma (bamboo shoot) was definitely very strong - but the fatty bits in the broth stole the show. The salmon onigiri was a bit dry but the rice and seaweed was on point. Place was a bit small, but staff were incredibly friendly! Will be returning! read more

A tiny Japanese ramen place that reminds me of Japan. I am in love with spicy miso ramen follow by Takoyaki. This place is not for a big gathering type, it's more for couple & small party. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I would highly definitely recommend Tiger ramen for the ramen lover. read more

Authentic Japanese ramen shop. The ramens are delicious, flavorful soup base and not too salty. We also ordered karage, which to our surprise was better than it look. It's juicy and soft. Service was friendly. The waitress explain the menu to us and show us the happy hour items. Nice clean ambience inside with tiger theme. Will definitely come back. read more

Service Food Cleanliness This was our first time and I was happy to give the shop a shot. It was YUMMY and they are constantly evolving their menu with fun seasonal offerings. They have an open kitchen and you can sit at the bar and watch all the magic happen right in front of you. It's good for singles, couples or groups! Defiantly becoming a re-occurring spot for us! read more

Wow, just had an amazing tsukemen here yesterday. The noodles were very good and the broth was rich and flavorful. I've been to Japan multiple times and I'm very picky of Japanese restaurants in the US - this one is legit. Also, staff speaks Japanese so you know it's the right place. read more

Tiger Ramen - Tsukemen - Ramen Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

Great spot for a tasty, quick & easy meal. Service is also friendly and prompt. Ambiance is casual but has fun hints of Japan. For the ramen, we've had the paitan, spicy paitan, and tsukemen so far. All are great for both the noodle texture and the broth. The salmon and yellowtail handrolls are also great. read more

Excellent! We walked in and were greeted with lovely service. The staff was tentative and kind. The ambiance truly resembled a ramen shop from Japan! The staff are Japanese as well. The overall experience felt like home. Now to the good part... the food. What a cultivation of lovely traditional flavors. Onigiris tasted just like mom's but with a special twist! The karaage was perfect and the yuzu sauce was the best!! The fish in the hand-rolls were fresh and the topping paired nicely. Ramen was a delight. The owner study traditional ramen technique in Japan. I cannot recommend this place enough! I saw lots of take out orders too, so that is a nice option if you don't want to dine-in. **I do want to note that it can be a little bit difficult to get to but it is truly a hidden gem. read more

Great ramen from a spot that just opened up in Mckinney. I got the spicy Ramen and they weren't lying it is spicy! But, I loved it. Broth was rich and flavorful, perfect as is. I do wish they offered more topics without extra charges as the bowl, as is, had minimal topics when its price comparable to those who offer many more toppings. The hand roll was good too, fresh, delicious. Very friendly staff. read more

Tiger Ramen - Spicy Miso Ramen with crumbled pork and corn -- yum!!! - Ramen Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

I got a bowl of noodles with 3 skinny slivers of sliced pork . No vegetables at all to add or with the broth. I did pay $2.50 for eight sliver bamboo shoots and $2.50 for a quarter size amount of spicy chili paste. Oni Ramen & other places are much better. You get a better variety and it's not so expensive. I ended up spending $34. $3.00 for a can of Coke. ( no refills ) save your money read more

Didn't taste like I thought it would. Noodles were odd. Broth wasn't tasty. Maybe I was wanting a different flavor. This was my first time trying the place as it was close to my job read more

Is this my new #1 ramen spot in DFW?? It's certainly a contender. Will be back ASAP to explore the menu further. Today I had spicy miso ramen and it was delicious. Very friendly Japanese people here explained the owner is from Japan and studied ramen there, and retired early to open this shop. I'm sure glad he did! read more

Tiger Ramen will truly be missed. This Ramen house in Long Beach, California. I hate to see them go. Every Ramen was good. They also had really good hibachi rice. It's always a good restaurant that end up leaving good luck to Tiger Ramen Texas is very lucky to have you read more

We have high expectation on this place due to the good reviews. First visit today and really don't know where is the good reviews come from. 1. Never had such a disgusting ramen. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen (what they called Paitan). The soup is worse than the instant noodles from the grocery. There is only salty flavor. No pork bone flavor. Surprised to find a lot of little pieces of fat residues in the broth. They obviously did not even use pork bone. But something frozen and ready made but add pork lard to try to add some flavor. It's not ramen broth at all. Very disgusting! The cha siu is very thin and fatty. The ramen portion is small. 2. My hubby does not want pork and prefer chicken. They told him to order chintan. From the menu and the waitress, this is supposed to have no pork but chicken broth only. But ended up the broth has a bunch of pork residue as well. He was trying to be nice and did not return it. They do not have any option for chicken ramen. This option comes with cha siu 3. It was before 1pm on Sat but they were out of chicken kraage already. 4. The host was rude. She asked us if everything is ok and we told her about the issue. She has no response on the broth issue. Every customers were offered lucky draw but she did not offer us just because we were honest to give her feedback. If she doesn't want to know then why ask us? We are just not the American who would just pay high price for everything even with low quality. The only good thing is fried geso but it's nearly $10 for 4 little pieces only. There are many places much better quality and better value for money. I would rather cook instant noodles at home than give business to this place read more

First and foremost, this spot is new so there are limited reviews which we checked out before heading to this spot. Don't let that deceive you, this is a must try! We moved to McKinney in June and couldn't wait for them to open. WELL WORTH THE WAIT!! The food was delicious, spot is extremely clean and tucked away in an assuming spot. To kick off our meal we had the seaweed salad which is light and fresh. Karage was a delicious well flavored starter as well! We had the Miso Spicy Ramen with seared Pork Chashu and Paitan with Chashu which was so delicious. Both broths were well flavored and the servings were hearty for sure! They also were able to accommodate my allergy to spicy foods which was incredible! More than just the food, the service was top tier. Everyone was so attentive and it felt family owned. We will definitely be back and love that this gem has been added so close to home! read more

Food was insanely small portion for $14 and didn't have great flavor. Highly disappointed in the beef bowl

Great food. Friendly staff. Quaint restaurant with a family run vibe. The Spicy Patin is a solid choice.

My family and I ordered many things and it was all delicious! We went during their soft opening so there were some food items that weren't available yet, but the menu looked great! I myself had the Miso Ramen and the bowl was much bigger than I was expecting! For $16.99, I'd say it was well worth it! Definitely will be back! read more

Tiger Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Mckinney, Texas

Just tried this place out and I do have to say my ramen was very tasty!!! The pork was cooked perfectly and not fatty at all which I highly appreciate! The hostess took my to-go order and she was very kind and helpful. My only grievance is that it is a bit pricier than most ramen joints in the McKinney/DFW area. $2.99 to add an extra egg.. and $16/$17 for the ramen. After tax it was $22. Not bad but it should be under $20 easily for all of that. Even with inflation the last few years. I feel they would get more frequent regulars if they just lower price a tad. Needless to say, nice looking menu, nice folks, and my ramen was delicious. read more

We went on opening night and just returned for a second time. The spicy miso ramen is amazing and so is the gyoza! We also enjoyed the edamame and green tea. My husband and I will definitely use this place as our go to ramen place! The staff has been super friendly both times and it's always super clean! read more

Stopped to order lunch "to go" and ordered the Spicy Mizo and thoroughly enjoyed it! I was impressed how quickly it was ready. I will be making Tiger Ramen a regular lunch stop from now on! read more

Real Ramen! Great service, food and welcoming atmosphere. I really enjoyed the Paitan.

Very authentic! We enjoyed the soup very much. the onigiri was good too! Def rec to anybody who likes ramen!

Best ramen we've had in this area by far!! We used to live in NYC and no ramen has compared to what we could find in the city. This one hit the mark for sure! We ordered the Paitan chicken tonkotsu, Chintan chicken clear broth and the Niboshi ramen. All three broths (and noodles) were incredible!!! Deep clean flavors. We also had the fried calamari legs and a yellowtail hand roll. This place is a must try!! Best ramen in the area.. that we've found anyway read more

very convenient location going north on Custer after Silverado. Enter at the side facing away from Custer. Not a big place and in that sense very Japanese. Staff was excellent and their ramen and broth were tasty and rich. They convinced us to consider ramen more often for lunch. read more
