15 Great Walk-In Only Restaurants For When You Didn’t Make A Reservation - Austin - The Infatuation

"Sazan is a ramen shop that should be on the radar of anyone with a passing interest in noodles, broth, or Japanese whisky. 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 just use 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. The dining room feels much fancier than its location between a Japanese dollar store and a board-game shop would lead you to believe, and even though it’s walk-in-only, that just means there’s plenty to do nearby in case of a wait." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
