a year ago$16 for a bowl of ramen isn't uncommon, the serving size was average. Order took about 20 minutes to come out with no other orders ahead of me. The chashu pork was unseasoned, extremely fatty, but had an okay char. Noodles were a bit soft for my taste as if they'd been sitting for awhile. My egg half was nice, it was the one thing I did finish completely. Menma had plenty of flavor, woodears were fine, and the corn was good. To-go orders have two containers in one to seperate noodles/toppings and broth, when mixed together it was a good ratio. Atmosphere was a little odd, they have 3 tables, 9 chairs, and the arrangement is a little cramped. I was handed my to-go food with no words which I didn't mind. Overall if you enjoy plainer foods I'd recommend it, I'm on the pickier side of tastes so I had no actual problems with it. Personally I wouldn't go again and that's okay.

a year agoNice small ramen shop, good food. My only gripe is that they used disposable plastic bowls rather than ceramic. The plastic made it feel a bit of a cheap experience when the food taste like a reputable sit in restaurant. Edit: I went in thinking of the image of a portable ramen shop stall or for some like a mexican food truck. Rather than a dine in restaurant because i know the store foot print inside isn't the best, so set your expectations and youll be pleasantly suprised.

a year agoI ordered to go here so glad that there was a ramen place so close to my house. Unfortunately, neither the atmosphere or food hit. If it’s going to be so small with zero service, at least make it look cool inside. Not even worth it tho cuz the food was not great. I ordered extras that were completely missed. The food itself was not what I’m used to with ramen, and the meat quality was not good. Not worth the price. All this and they are open at atrocious hours. I’m not sure why they choose to close well before dinner rush, so it took forever just to try it.

a year agoThe ramen was mid. It came in a disposable plastic bowl even when you dine in which I wouldn’t usually mind but this was the most expensive ramen I have paid for in Austin. The egg was over cooked and cold. The noodles were fine. Some bites of the chasu pork were really sweet which I didn’t like. You order on an iPad and it asks you to tip at the end, which we did but I wish we hadn’t because the staff honestly seemed annoyed we were there. The server didn’t say a single word to us. The atmosphere was terrible. As someone mentioned in another review, there was this loud machine running the whole time. It sounded like the biggest blender ever or some sort of power tool. You could’ve told me there was active construction in the kitchen and I would’ve believed you it was so loud. Not a great place to dine in at all.

a year agoI read the reviews and went to give this place a chance. It’s very small and not very welcoming, you don’t see anyone till they come out to give your order. I noticed the price on the screen was different from that when ordering on the iPad, I kindly pointed it out to the manager, not wanting to price adjust but to make them aware. Guy told me the numbers displayed on the tv were “the numbers”, I don’t even know what that means, but it’s misleading. He was also not very welcoming and seemed annoyed. Food was decent, but not enough to go back to an unwelcoming atmosphere.

a year agoTo be honest, I’m not sure how I feel about this place. Dropped in on a lark and was shocked at the minimalist space. No employees to be seen. Just a self service kiosk. Easy to order with decent prices (full serving Tonkotsu was $16). Bathroom was clean, and overall space was “no frills” to the extreme. At the end of the day, the ramen is solid. It appears they are mostly geared for takeout, and are trying an innovative low overhead (ie, no service) dine in model. My main recommendation to managers: provide better serving ware. Those picnic pouches of disposable cutlery are seriously detracting from the quality of your ramen.

a year agoWe were excited to see a ramen restaurant open near our neighborhood. Unfortunately, it was a big disappointment. You order from a kiosk with no one to greet you nor check to see if you’re okay. The furniture looks used and is damaged. The lights weren’t on and the temperature in the restaurant was hot (and with eating ramen in 100 degree weather, you would hope for a more comfortable temperature). When they brought the food, the server didn’t ask if we needed anything. The food, despite saying it was for here, was served in a plastic to-go bowl. Lastly, there was a loud noise from a machine that didn’t stop the entire time we were there (so loud that you couldn’t hear our babbling little one). As for the food, it tasted fine. The meat and egg were flavorful. Unfortunately, the menma (bamboo shoots) was cold, one piece of meat was tender but the other was dry, the egg was slightly overcooked, and the noodles in both dishes were thick despite being told that in one dish, it would be served with thin noodles. I ordered the tonkastu black and my husband ordered the oyasumi. They tasted almost identical except mine had the black garlic oil and my husband’s had parmesan cheese. Overall, very disappointed and would not go back. Also, they are only open from 12-2 and 5-7…

a year agoRamen was delicious. We got the Tonkotsu Black and Oyasumi ramen. The broths were creamy and coated things nicely. Eggs were marinated nicely and overall were solid bowls. Atmosphere in-store and service are a little bare bones, but we got our food timely and it was a pleasant experience. We will be coming back
