Ramen Tatsu-Ya’s Spicy Chilled Ramen Is a Perfect Houston Summer Dish | Eater Houston

"During Houston's blistering summers I rely on Ramen Tatsu-Ya’s spicy chilled ramen, an Austin export created by owner Tatsu Aikawa and his brother Shion (the restaurant group's director of operations). Based on the Japanese summertime staple hiyashi chuka that Aikawa grew up eating—his mother would serve cold ramen noodles with acidic sauces and fresh-cut greens after a day in the sun—the dish forgoes the unctuous broth most people expect but remains perfectly satisfying thanks to its fresh, springy noodles, spicy ground pork, and soy‑boiled egg, and the fact that it's served chilled makes it a perfect fit for one-hundred-degree-plus days." - Amy McCarthy
