15 Great Walk-In Only Restaurants For When You Didn’t Make A Reservation - Austin - The Infatuation
"Between the ever-present line and the soundtrack that could only have been picked by a DJ-turned-ramen chef (true story), getting into one of Ramen Tatsu-ya’s five locations feels like you just walked into Austin’s hottest club, but without a stuffy dress code, and with food you actually want to eat. Don’t worry, the line moves fast. But if it ever starts to feel too daunting, just grab a beer from the bar inside while you wait. Or, if you’re at the East Austin location, head to Domo Alley-Gato next door—Ramen Tatsu-Ya’s sister bar concept, where you’ll also have access to the full ramen menu, usually with a much shorter line." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
