Tiger Ramen — Restaurant in McKinney

I got to try Tiger Ramen and it is the closest to ramen in Japan that I have had in the DFW area. This is the only ramen place around here that I want to go back to willingly. The broth here is great and different from pretty much all the other places around. The ones I tasted were chicken base and very flavorful. The one thing almost all the other places are doing wrong are over cooking the noodles. The noodles were here were もちもち (Al dente). That in my opinion, combined with the broth is what made it the most authentic to Japan. Also got to try the hand rolls. These were unique and tasty! I got to try the Spicy Maguro and Salmon. The Spicy Maguro was topped with slices of jalapeno and a dab of wasabi. The salmon were topped with capers and bits of lemon, a great combo. The kids meal came with the karaage chicken, french fries, shrimp tempura and onigiri. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu. I would highly recommend this place if you are interested in trying authentic Japanese Ramen without having to go all the...

The other reviews are pretty spot on. The broth isn't the rich, creamy, porky broth you might be expecting with tonkotsu ramen, however that doesn't mean this broth isn't flavorful and creamy. The spicy paitan broth is really well balanced. The spice level isn't so spicy that you can't appreciate the soup base, and it's spicy enough that it adds an extra layer of seasoning to the broth.

The noodles are on the firmer side which is what I prefer, and they are generous with the chashu. Most places only give 3 small slices, but mine had 4 decent slices. The chashu is seasoned well, and it's cooked just right. The egg was slightly overcooked for my preference, but that's not a big deal since I'm mostly there for the broth, chashu and noodles.

I don't usually like gyōza, but I really liked theirs. The flavors are well balanced, and the green onion/scallions/chives don't overpower the flavor of the pork. The outside was also perfectly crisp. The Tiger ramen onigiri was also really tasty. We'll...

Another great meal. I had the Mazemen, non-soup and spicy mixed noodle. It was delicious. I noticed new menu items, including vegetarian options.

— Visited during the soft opening and tried one of the most delicious Chicken Paitan ramen (Chicken Tonkotsu) I’ve had. The broth was rich, silky, and packed with umami, coating your mouth with flavor that lingers. They also offer lighter broths, and the noodles were cooked to perfection.

We also had the onigiri. I’ve never tried a fresh one before—usually, I grab them to-go—but this one came with warm rice and flavorful fillings. It was both delicious and beautifully presented.

I really appreciate their effort in putting together a quality kid’s meal: juicy, crispy karaage, fries, seasoned and plain rice, plus a drink. My kid devoured it! So refreshing not to see the usual frozen chicken nuggets or grilled cheese.

The service was top-notch, and the decor is a bright blend of contemporary and classic elements. Most importantly, it was casual and...
