Hoshi Ramen — Restaurant in Fort Worth

Had ramen for the first time in AGES here—and it was a whole adventure! 🍜

We searched everywhere for a place that could do both gluten-free noodles and vegetarian ramen. It wasn’t easy—we called so many spots trying to find one nearby that could accommodate both.

Thankfully, we found out that @hoshiramen-fortworth offers gluten-free noodles! I was beyond excited and couldn’t wait to try it.

We ordered the veggie ramen with the gluten-free noodles, but when it came out, the veggies were fried. I asked if they were gluten-free, and no one was sure—so our sweet server double-checked with the kitchen. Turns out, the veggies were coated in wheat flour, and the tofu was cooked in a shared fryer. 😓

I was honestly crushed for a second—I thought my dream of gluten-free vegetarian ramen was slipping away. But our amazing waiter didn’t give up. He helped me go through nearly the entire menu to find something that would be safe.

I ended up choosing the garlic ramen with veggie broth and no meat, and… it was INCREDIBLE. So much garlic (in the best way), and the gluten-free noodles were perfect. I was nervous, but everything turned out even better than I hoped. 😌

I’m so genuinely grateful to the team at Hoshi for taking the time to help me feel safe and cared for. I really appreciate it—and I’ll...

I’ll preface this by saying that I lived in Seoul for a few years, but I think my expectations for Asian food in America are pretty realistic. I was really excited to try this place, and it had its moments: the korokke was very good, as was my husband’s curry rice bowl. I ordered the miso ramen with kimchi, and the first thing I noticed was how crazy salty it was. The second thing I noticed was how overpowering the garlic was! There was seriously a handful of dried garlic slices sitting on top, and that’s all I could smell or taste. There was only half an egg, which I understand under the present circumstances, but it was boiled too hard and wasn’t marinated—the best part of ramen is the jammy marinated egg! I expected much better from a place that has “ramen” in its name.

It gets sadder: I was excited to see my favorite street food, bungeubang (taiyaki) on the menu, so I ordered one for dessert. It came out soggy and limp—they had obviously microwaved a frozen one. At least use a toaster oven or something so the texture is better!

I will probably come back to try a couple of other items being that some of it was good and I’m always nostalgic for foods I ate in Korea, but I can make better ramen from the package at home (and the same bungeubang...

Multiple issues but the theme of this restaurant is … making the place look visually appealing then serving mediocre and frankly bad tasting food. I’ve noticed all the “good” reviews are posted by White people (who probably have never tasted good ramen in their life).

1- You’re expected to order at the front, get your own water and utensils - then they have the gall to ask for a tip. A tip for what? Pay your employees well and maybe the food will taste like there was some flavor put in.

2- Got the veggie dumplings as my app which tasted like mushy fried cardboard.

Miso Ramen tasted disgusting- all I could taste was watered down ginger. Noodles were undercooked and my toppings were extremely limited. I got maybe 4-5 sprigs of whatever green they threw in, a handful of bamboo shoots and a few pieces of fried tofu. Ended up throwing out the broth and just took the noodles home to make my own broth.

Service is limited. They don’t do much except take your order.

The added toppings are a scam. Paid $2 for basically a sliver of an egg (pictured) not even the whole egg lol.

Basically spent $50 for some garbage food. This place looks nice but compared to decent ramen in Houston, it was seriously lacking in...
