The Best New Restaurants in Houston, March 2025

"Hour-long lines have been forming daily at this Michelin-recommended ramen shop since it opened in early October. Hailing originally from Tokyo, this new Asiatown hotspot offers steamy bowls of noodles in chicken broth, featuring proteins, including duck, chicken, pork char siu, and smoked meats like Texas wagyu to pay homage to its new home location. Its signature ramen, which also comes with a vegan option, offers toppings like ajitama egg, corn wings, and burdock root, and a striking matcha broth that’s commonly paired with its char siu duck. Diners can also experience other Japanese dishes, like karaage, nigiri, and wagyu rice bowls" - Brittany Britto Garley
