4 Houston Restaurants to Try This Weekend: April 25 | Eater Houston
"This Tokyo-based ramen outpost lives up to its reputation with housemade noodles and broths that invite you to slurp every drop. Standout bowls include a creamy Toripaitan topped with ajitama, crispy burdock root for texture, and thinly sliced smoked Texas brisket and pork, and a Duck Matcha featuring sliced smoked duck in a signature matcha-infused broth. Everything in the bowl is executed so each element—noodles, egg, meat, and broth—shines, and the springy noodles and rich ajitama are highlights. There’s no alcohol on offer, but floral sodas like the peach provide a refreshing counterpoint, and operationally the compact space (about 30 seats) draws long lines at dinner; new lunch hours help, and staff discourage ramen takeout because the bowls are best enjoyed piping hot (to-go containers are intended for small items only)." - Brittany Britto Garley
