Ramen Tatsu-Ya — Restaurant in Austin

Ahh man, hell yeah. They're good. I eat here multiple times a month with zero regret. The noodles are always cooked just right for slurping, amazing flavors, and great staff. Saying that, the flavors can be strong so be prepared, these are not wimpy flavor profiles, but they're well balanced and nothing becomes super overwhelming in any of the bowls. They obviously take pride in their dishes, they'll fix anything they get wrong, and the ramen is always satisfying. My two personal favorites are the Sho-yu with the yuzu bomb and marinated tofu or the now recently re-added (happy to have it back!) Tsukemen dipping ramen. Don't get me wrong, I love the OG, but the extra umami that the Sho-yu and Tsukemen give me, just edges them a touch higher for me. If it's your first time though I strongly recommend the OG with the corn bomb or the Ol' Skool as is, which is chicken broth ramen (and makes for a great cold remedy!).

Also, if you manage to eat a whole bowl and somehow still have room for a bit of something, they've brought in dipdipdip ice cream for a burnt orange or matcha ice cream sandwich. My personal preference is the burnt orange as it's got a nice almost chocolate covered orange flavor, the matcha one though is the favorite of everyone else I've brought here. I can't recommend coming here enough. It's delicious, filling, relaxed, and falls squarely in the best of "keep austin...

You should try to call an order in for pick up. Wait they don’t do that. They will pick up the phone and talk to you for 5 minutes in the absolute dead of the afternoon. Try to order food however and you will be told it is against their policy and all orders have to be made in person or on their app. The app that then makes you down load 2 more apps to complete the process. 30 minutes later I still had no food and had to drive in to get my sick kid some soup because she has Covid and feels crummy. I asked to talk to a manager and was told there was not a manager working. I was finally able after 3 minutes of waiting to find out Randy was not working and could not be reached by message . This is clearly a moronic business model made up by children that look down on older people because they still wish to do things by voice. When I told the girl what was wrong about the whole situation she told me it was not her choice and she gets yelled at several times a week about this “policy.” Well kids maybe you should change your policy and get away from the “get with the times” mentality that I was greeres with when I did have to walk in to order. I don’t think Randy or the General Manager Teresa Molina have ever worked in the service industry where you don’t get paid if you...

Went there for dinner Friday with my family and friends. We ordered several different items: The Og, the Shoyu Tonkatsu, the gyoza, the kaarage, and the korokaay. We also ordered the side of garlic, the spicy bomb, and the corn bomb. I also ended up ordering an extra side of chashu after learning the ramen only came with one piece. Food came out relatively fast. The kaarage was a very small amount for the price, the gyoza were decently cooked and flavorful, and the korokaay was a bit overcooked and heavily breaded. Then our ramen and "bombs" came out, which they mixed up one of our orders. We were surprised we had to press our own garlic. Now to preface: for someone who has never eaten "legit" ramen, at first taste and glance this ramen would be quite good, delicious even. For our group, who have eaten excellent authentic ramen, it was a bit of a disappointment. The broth was flavorful but that's honestly its only highlight. The chashu was a bit dry, and again you only got one piece. The noodles were not typical ramen noodles, which are a bit wavy and thick. These were straight very thin noodles, which did not have a great mouth feel. We had honestly been looking forward to having a new ramen place near us to frequent, but we will probably not be...
