The 12 Best Ramen Restaurants In Austin

"Sazan is a ramen shop that should be on the radar of everyone with even a passing interest in noodles, broth, or Japanese whiskey. And if you’re into all three? Well, there are some apartments nearby you might want to consider. The specialty here is paitan ramen—a rich and creamy broth made from boiling bones for a long period of time. But unlike other popular spots in town that specialize in tonkotsu (pork bones), Sazan uses a mix of chicken and pork, resulting in a broth that’s just a little bit lighter, but no less satisfying. And as much as we love their original, the spicy and black garlic versions here are our favorites. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
