Kyuramen- Houston

Update: After checking my receipt again, I realized that one of the items (Matcha pudding) included in the combo was missing from my order. I didn’t notice at the time since everything else was great, but I wanted to mention it here. Hopefully, it was just an oversight. Still, I really enjoyed the visit and look forward to coming back! I had previously visited a Kyuramen in New York, but it was a takeout order, and I wanted to enjoy the full dining experience. Yesterday, I visited this location in Houston with my family, and from the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles and seated quickly (there were three of us). I already knew what I wanted: #6 Kyushu Spicy Tomkotsu ramen, the dish I hadn’t been able to try during my first visit. My family decided to explore the menu, and they both enjoyed their choices. At the table, there was a button on the wall for service needs, and someone came to assist us right away. The restaurant was clean, cozy, and the service was excellent. This will become one of my go-to spots!

This combination offers a warm, comforting meal packed with umami and textures—perfect for a cozy or indulgent dining experience. From a beautiful honeycomb dinning or private booths, the ambiance and unique atmosphere is worth it to the beautifully curated pork broth combined with excellent service across the board.

Love the beehive cubes where to can sit in and eat lunch/dinner. Very cute place for pictures/date night. The food presentation was pretty. Food was pretty decent. Doesn't stand out as much to me because I prefer very flavorful food. Omurice has a gravy sauce that you can drizzle over the eggs but I kept it separate just in case I didn't like it but it's a nice curry taste.

Love the honeycomb setup, it's unique and add some privacy. The foods look great than it's taste. Nothing special or stand out. Services were good, everyone are very friendly and helpful.

So, I'm not a big fan a Japanese food in general so take this how you want. But for what it's worth , this was pretty good. And really the atmosphere is what i was after anyways. We sat in one of those honeycomb booths. They are very cute but extremely uncomfortable to sit it. Good for the gram though. We got the Krispy corn and that was the hit of the night. Great stuff. It's like popcorn but cornier. Then I got the omelet on the rice gimmick with the pork thingy. The pork was crispy and tender. The eggs were great and the rice was good. We also order a glass of the amazing lemonade, and that sum bit was amazing. That cuccumber in it was a freaking banger. And I know bangers. Overall , good times were had, and the food was good. They let you hang up a cool little wooden gimmick sign up there too. It was kinda magical doing that.

Visited this place and was pleasantly surprised. Openly trying new cuisines and the ramen, squid and egg dish over rice is just that. My only wish was that the ramen came out a little hotter. Overall an interesting experience.

Yes and yes you get a lot of food , food is good‼️ Ordering made simple on the menu Affordable clean fun honeycomb booth❤️🐝🍯 Stairs a little steep if you want to sit up top

It was a great dinning experience. The lobster and chatsu salad balls were delicious (everything we ordered was amazing but these were my favorite). They don’t have a lot of drink options but the amazing lemonade and the tea were refreshing. The service was super great. They were fast friendly and knowledgeable. It was a little cold inside but cool vibes.

My husband and I got a ramen each and omurice. Our ramen's broth were very rich. Normally when I get ramen from other restaurants, I have to order extra protein, but the protein here was the perfect amount for the noodles. The omurice was very moist, but the pork tonkatsu was a bit too dry to my liking. However, when I added the sauce, it tasted so much better. My favorite thing there was the amazing lemonade. If you get a chance to dine here, I highly recommend it!! The service was good, there's a call button you press any time you need a server. The restaurant itself was cool! We sat at the honeycomb booth. Even though the space was small, adding stairs allowed for more room to dine in the restaurant. I'd recommend eating here at least once!

While the ambiance is cute and the service is nice. The 3 stars was due to the menu not having all of the necessary indications or descriptions of meals. I am referring to the demi-gloss for the omelette. I was curious was in the rice so I googled their menu and found out that the Demi-gloss was beef & pork while the rice was chicken fried rice. The physical menu doesn't indicate any of that which is unfortunate. It was a big deal to me since I do not eat pork so information like that is important. Also the Thai tea is watered down which is gross

The interior design of Kyuramen is quite interesting. While I like the idea of the honeycomb seating, I don't think it's very practical. The steps leading up to them were narrow and steep for just the customers and it looked difficult to navigate for servers with their hands full of food. The combo seemed like a great deal - $52.99 for a tonkotsu ramen, miso ramen, popcorn chicken, 2 desserts (cherry blossom jelly & matcha pudding with red bean), and iced thai tea and lemonade (we got 2 Thai teas). Everything was delicious. My only qualm is I wish the popcorn chicken came with some sort of sauce because it was a little dry by itself.

This place was recommended to us. We were a party of 5 and I don't see a lot of places for large groups so we made do with a booth. Three of us had ramen while the others had the pork omurice with pork. Service was great. The wait was minimal. Food came out quickly. Everyone enjoyed their food. The only slight mishap was the air vent dripping in one of us.

We love going to this ramen spot. The honeycomb-like seating pods, provide an authentic Japanese ramen atmosphere. The menu features classic dishes like Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu and Mega Ramen, combining pork char siu and shrimp, all with rich flavors. The service is always friendly and prompt. We ordered two orders of their combination A: #1Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu comes with a steamed pork bao bun and matcha pudding with red bean and #9. Chicken Ramen.

Great place for ramen with a nice aesthetic!! Boyfriend and I came here for some dinner and we absolutely loved it. They do not take reservations and because everyone usually wants to have a seat in the hexagon pods, there's a bit of a wait. We waited about 25-30 mins to get seated. The other dining tables were not as much of a wait, and the bar had seating right away. I had a chicken ramen bowl and added spice (spiciest level), and he had the teriyaki beef rice burger with a side of purple sweet potatoes. We both loved our food options. Mines could have been a bit spicier but overall it was good. The amazing lemonade was refreshing and tasty. The service was also great and everyone was sweet. They have a button at the table to call for service and the check which was great. Parking of course is available since it's a part of the shopping center lot. Would absolutely come back again!

Came in for a date on wed, was seated in the honeycomb Dress code: casual Food 4/5: we got the yinyang ramen, purple sweet potato fries, yakitori platter and eel kamameshi. Ramen didn't really wow us but was pretty good and it was nice to try 2 different kinds. Fries and yakitori were excellent, wasn't really a fan of the sweet egg in the kamameshi but that's a personal taste thing. Eel was tasty but I wish the skin was crispy. Ambiance 5/5: amazing ambiance in the honey comb, very romantic Service 4.5/5: overall helpful and friendly, can be a little slow at times to respond to their buzzer to call them but generally no issues Value 4.5/5: amazing ambiance and good food for a good price. I've been here 3 times and will be back. Overall 4.5/5: pretty good food with cool unique ambiance at a good value. Have to get there early for the honey comb seating but their private booths look quite nice too. Parking: massive parking lot.

My friend and I had the popcorn chicken, takoyaki, thai iced tea, chicken yuzi shio ramen. We both enjoyed the popcorn chicken and loved the sauerkraut pepper. The waitress was friendly. The entire restaurant is beautiful especially without people since we came early during the day. Will head back in the future!

Craving ramen on a chilly day in Houston? Come to Kyuramen, but bring a sweater? Parking was easyish, the place was located in a plaza with other restaurants and though it seemed busy we were able to find a spot fairly quickly. I enjoyed the theme they had going on in their restaurant, some honeycomb-like private sections downstairs and upstairs with open seating down in the first floor. Never had seen anything like it! I'd like to come back and sit in one of those sections. Big parties out there, there are a couple or tables for y'all with curtains to use for privacy! Pretty neat. My only piece of feedback on the ambiancewas that with it being chilly outside, the restaurant was pretty cold inside. Glad I had my sweater with me. Moving on to food! Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen 4/5 Four out of five stars because I think the pork flavor was too overpowering in the broth and I wanted it a bit more balanced, not sure if it needed more garlic or more spicy-ness or veggies? That's just me though, I still enjoyed it and would order it again. I also had the "Amazing Lemonade" I asked what was amazing about it and they said that it's just lemonade, but yall! It was good! Refreshing with a cucumber flavor. Loved it. We got some apps too and they were delicious as well. Service is requested through a little button they have on the tables and worked really well. The server came right away and took our order and all. He wouldn't come back and check up on us though, different but not bad. Overall our experience was great and I'd come back!

I tried to go early to get honeycomb seating. I only had to wait for 5 minutes and the host didn't judge me for being excited to get cool seating. We ordered 2 ramens, tempura shrimp, fried dumplings, and the Japanese omelette. Every was good, but my rice and omelette came out cold, when the ramen got cold - it didn't taste as good. The amazing lemonade was just ok. I would recommend this place and return. It's a nice experience.

They were so packed the first day so I'm finally getting around to it now. The place is super cute with a very energetic crew. The honeycomb cubicles were a really neat touch and honestly makes the place feel young and pretty vibrant. The food was something I was more surprised about. Needless to say the options I picked out were all really amazing though portion sizing for the price point, while wasnt astronomically unfair, it did leave a bit of desire for more. The soup base wasnt terribly salty and I didnt leave disasterously thirsty as some other places may have you feeling. The really rich pork broth was so easy to just slurp up to the last drop. The pictures speak for themselves honestly. Come here for the vibes, the picturesque experience, the honeycomb seating area, the decore. It really was a fun and great experience overall!

It goes without saying that the restaurant interior is beautiful! The honeycomb wall table I was at only sat two people - not sure if larger groups would be able to sit in the honeycomb, if that's what you're coming for. Will comment that there was an odd smell that I've noticed in a few restaurants around the Bellaire area... only noticeable when you first walk in though. The service is super quick, you can call your waiter using a button at the table and I don't think I ever waited more than a minute for someone to come by. Everyone was kind and efficient. Takoyaki - copious amounts of dried squid on top, with an average amount of sauce and octopus filling. It's always good, but not the best I've had. Black garlic tonkotsu ramen - broth and noodles were delicious, but lacked a strong black garlic flavor (I'm a big garlic lover). I ended up asking for extra black garlic sauce, which took it to the perfect level. There's also three kinds of spice powders at the table; the Sichuan one wasn't super spicy and I didn't notice much of a difference. Eel kamameshi - the eel was delicious! Very small bones which I found easy to get past. Lots of rice to go with it. Beautiful presentation! Omurice - the infamous dish. Presentation was perfect, from the egg cut to the sauce. The textures were so satisfying. Flavor was average, but I don't have any comparisons since this was my first time having omurice. Matcha tiramisu - a bit liquidy for a tiramisu, but strong matcha flavor and decent amount of matcha cake. Make sure to mix in the matcha powder on top - I almost cinnamon-challenged myself at the table while accidentally inhaling the matcha at the top as I was taking my first bite! Overall, a beautiful restaurant with average food. However, I'll give them 4 stars for the wide selection of options and the great service. But probably best visited for the ambience!

We went on a Tuesday night and was seated right away. At first glance, it looked super cool and very similar to places in Japan! We sat at a booth that was stacked on top of each other shaped similar to honey comb. The table is enough space for eating and there is a call button for your server to take your order, get the bill, etc. A lot of options on the menu (not just ramen), but we both ended up ordering the spicy tonkotsu ramen (spicy). They have 2 levels for spice: spicy and hot. The broth is flavorful and not that spicy in my opinion. The pork chashu was very soft and tender alongside the half boiled egg that was cooked perfectly. It also comes with bamboo, corn, and seaweed. I thought it was better than some popular ramen places around Houston. Servers were nice and attentive! We also won a free dessert at our next visit by finishing our bowls and seeing the circle with "dessert" at the bottom of our bowls. Really like how they're helping with what I think is reducing waste consumption. I overall really like the vibes of this place and recommend to people who want to try it.

We were in Houston visiting when our TX fam brought us to this gem of a ramen spot after playing pickleball and it was such a good recovery meal! Walking in it was such a surprise to find that their seating layout and decor was so unexpected. I definitely appreciated the private style of seating that they had going on for large parties and smaller ones too. Their ramen combos are such a steal and def worth looking into. All the appetizers we ordered for the table were delicious, I especially liked the fried squid legs bc they were more juicy and meaty compared to the ones I've had before. The ramen broth was a bit on the salty side for me, but if you're into saltier foods you would love it. The drinks and dessert that's came with their combos were refreshing and light :) Our hostess was helpful and quick to check on us. There is a convenient button to call for service from our private dinning pod as well!

Such a cool place! Service and atmosphere: This is a unique restaurant thanks to its honey comb booths design. This was super cool. There are other seating arrangements too. The restaurant has great Japanese theme and on point decorations. Service was great. Everyone was helpful and friendly. Food and drinks: We tried their ramens and takoyaki. Very good presentation and balance of flavours. The noodle was al dente and was the hero of the dishes. All other ingredients were prepared with care and paired well with the noodle and the broth. Pricing: Worth the atmosphere and food served.

This place has improved since we last went a while back. The ramen is flavor but not too overboard. The meat is really good compared to other ramen places. The service is great and the place is decorated very well.

Located in Welcome mart ctr. Parking can get packed. Cool honeycomb style seating. Press a button on the wall to order. Server comes fast. Ordered the #1 and #5 ramen. Was good , not oily. Look at bottom of soup bowl for prize. We won free drink.

This is one of those instagram worthy eateries but food was just meh! The ambiance is like pretty especially the honeycomb seating. Lately they are doing a surprise reward so you get a chance to win different foods the caveat is you have 2 weeks to redeem and you can only redeem 1 reward per visit. Smart way to keep you coming back right? Service was good. They come to you when you push the button.

This is the cutest ramen spot where you can climb a little stairs and dine in a beehive nook that feels like you're in a treehouse. They also have standard dining tables or seating with a curtain to give a little privacy. The food was fantastic from what I tasted! I just got the #1 ramen, and my friend got the curry tonkotsu ramen. Both were great! To order from the beehive you press a little call button, and staff were very quick to come help. Definitely recommend and would go again!

The place was good , but had some flaws. The entrance had like a raw sewage smell. , the floor edges of the restaurant were really dirty and black. The waiter kinda upcharged us on two items for my daughter . But the omarice was pretty good. The purple fries were really good . The service is really fast . I like the press the button service option. My wife got ramen and didn't like it much .

A long awaited time to visit a place I have heard about for a while. Through the various recommendations to stop in and of course my family's love for ramen, we decided to stop in to Kyuramen. From the first time I heard about the restaurant the reviews were solid. Now that time has passed from the opening long ago, we were able to try it. The design of the restaurant was nice. It really gave me that Japanese ramen shop vibe. I looked ahead on the menu before we went and decided to go with the Ying Yang ramen and added the combo with the pork bao and amazing lemonade. It was a great middle for me to try two flavor ramens in one and I was not disappointed. The broths were flavorful, noodles are delicate and everything was just right. The spicy side was just enough and the Tonkotsu, rich in broth. The amazing lemonade is refreshing and did get to try the Thai tea and was balanced, also not too sweet. The bao was nice and the cut of pork is a good size. Overall I think it was pretty good. The visit was nice and I do like it conceptually. The price is reasonable and it can be a nice place for a casual setting. If I can be honest, I would have given it a 4-4.5/5 due to one thing that was hard to ignore. Most of the staff were great but one in particular stood out from my visit. The one staff that brought our drinks was pretty nonchalant in attitude. He did place our drinks in almost a slam manner to a point when it hit the table it was pretty noticeable. His demeanor was not very nice and gave me an impression of being annoyed. That was my only remark I had but leaves me conflicted to stop in. I am 50/50 for now but will reconsider in the future.

Came here on a Friday night, we were immediately seated. We fell in love with this place right away, as the interior layout is so unique and creative, very aesthetically pleasing. We even got our private booth with drapes, really appreciate the privacy as we dine here. Service is incredibly fast and efficient, we got all of our food and drinks within 5 minutes. If this is your first time, I highly recommend the combos: it comes with two drinks (Thai tea and their Amazing Lemonade, both are fantastic), popcorn chicken as the appetizer, two bowls of ramen (Tonkotsu and Miso), and two of their signature desserts (Match pudding and Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly, beautifully presented). Everything included for at around $52, you get to try everything. It's a great deal you can't miss. Flavors and portion sizes are impeccable, great quality and taste! Definitely worth a visit.

Service was quick, everyone that attended us was very nice! The deep fried gyozas were delicious, would definitely recommend those and the Chicken Ramen was also very flavorful, I ordered it spicy and it had a good kick to it. The seating area was pretty cool, they had multiple sections that each had their own unique feel.

Came in on a weekday during the evening, they weren't too busy so we were sat almost immediately. It's a really cute concept, they have private booths with curtains, and call buttons for the waiters. I ordered a chicken ramen and it was good, it needed a bit more flavor so I added some of their seasonings that they have on the side of each table. I also ordered their amazing lemonade which was really delicious. it tasted like cucumber and was really refreshing. We ordered the shrimp tempura which paired with the spicy mayo was really good. Overall, the service was quick and the food was pretty decent. I'd give this place a try if you're in the area!

The ramen and soup tasted very delicious. The store was clean and well decorated. The price was a little bit higher but I was expected that. The service was slow.

The omurice with pork cutlet and demiglaze, the chicken bites and miso ramen were so delicious! Service was on point. Not too intrusive but checked on us a good number of times.

I've been to this location 3 times so far. The first 2 times the omurice was very delicious and hit the spot. Unfortunately, my third time getting the omurice tasted okay and felt like quality declined. The inside is very modern and love that they have tables off to the side with a curtain for a more "private" dining experience. The thai tea and lemonade is very delicious and stays constant quality. I was excited to try the okonomiyaki but ended up being a little disappointed. It didn't have enough sauce on top and kind of tasted dry. The flavor was okay as well. Brought some friends here and it's unfortunate that this visit wasn't memorable. The service is great at least, the staff is very responsive and quick to help with anything you might need.

Incredible Ramen, accompanied by amazing environment. This place has one of the best features that I want all the restaurants to have, a BUTTON for calling the server or staff when needed. No more unnecessary visits from the server or staff in the middle of the conversation or eating. From the bottom of my heart thank you for adding this feature

We had no clue what we would find when we went here but man oh man it was so good. The ramen was so super delicious with perfect spicy kimchi. Pork belly Bao buns were so perfectly done and my chicken katsu sandwich was great. The purple French fries were really good. Overall was a beautiful interior and staff was so attentive and lovely.

4 stars for being aesthetically pleasing to the eye, love the beehive concept and the private booths available. I also enjoyed the call button, so you get help when requested. 3 stars for food. I ordered the tonku black garlic, the broth and pork were delicious but it only comes with in one size. I'm petite and I finished the whole thing and was still hungry. I also didn't like the fact you can't add any extra fun things to the ramen. 4 stars for the lemonade which is called The Amazing Lemonade, was pretty good. 2 stars for the bathroom. For such a architecturally fun restaurant, the bathroom was plain white, boring, no deco and so differentfrom the rest of the restaurant. Hospital feels. Overall I would go back to take friends and family so they can experience the restaurant but it would not become my regular ramen place. The food was average and portion too small for the price.

I really don't have a lot to say. It was super nice inside and it had a good menu. Food came super fast ( scarily fast lol). We tried the shrimp tempura, fried squid, chashu pork with ramen, and the beef teriyaki burger. Nothing was bad per se but like kinda bland and below average. The squid was tough as well. Idk it was just kinda pricey and not good really. Lots of parking though.

Great ramen! A bit of a wait to be seated without a reservation. I really enjoyed my ramen - the noodles were a bit hard when the ramen arrived but after letting it sit for another ten minutes they were perfect. The service was shotty and the waiters were semi judgmental? Vibes were weird. Thai tea was yummy! And if u don't finish it they pack it to go for you which is nice. Also, the check in deal for the free dessert no longer works because they said they "don't do that" Definitely like the ramen and would recommend - might as well do take out though!

Love the beehive cubes where to can sit in and eat lunch/dinner. Very cute place for pictures/date night. The food presentation was pretty. Food was pretty decent. Doesn't stand out as much to me because I prefer very flavorful food. Omurice has a gravy sauce that you can drizzle over the eggs but I kept it separate just in case I didn't like it but it's a nice curry taste.

After seeing all the hype on social media, I finally decided to give this place a try. The interior is beautiful - its modern, bright, and intricate. I only wish that we were able to sit one of the iconic honeycombs. Instead we were sat in a private booth. For the food, we ordered the Pork Tonkatsu Omurice Combo, the Classic Omurice combo, and the Tokyo Tonkatsu Ramen. It was so exciting to try omurice for the first time; however, the dish fell short. Although the texture of the egg was pleasant, there was not much more to it. It was lacking flavor and we were underwhelmed. The ramen was also okay, not really standing out or making a statement. It's safe to say that the overall consensus for the food was that it was not memorable. On the bright side, our food came out incredibly fast despite there being a full house. The Thai Tea that accompanied the combo meal was the perfect balance between subtle and sweet. and the service was friendly and fast. Although it was nice to experience at least once, I can't say I'd make it a point to come back.

I've really enjoyed Kyuramen. I wanted to go a second time before writing this review, and I'm so glad I did. They did not disappoint! The Japanese ambiance and decor, was very nice. I especially like the seating in the huge honeycomb and the private booths as well. Perfect place for a date or dining with friends and family. The service was great and efficient. They have buttons at each table that you push when ready to order, pay or need something. Now to the food...I went for the ramen, and it was so good! During my first visit I ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu ramen, the second visit, I ordered the Curry Ramen with diced chashu. Both really good and full of flavor. Very filling as well. I finally tried kimchi during first visit and had to have it again when I returned. Why did I take so long to try it...so good! Just the right amount spice. Needless to say I'll be adding Kyuramen to my list of fave ramen spots!

Very nice environment, cool atmosphere & sitting area. Best noodle spot I've visited so far! Fast and kind service!

This ramen bar is incredibly modern, unique, aesthetic, beautiful and definitely picture worthy! We honestly had a great time, enjoyed the delicious food and ambiance of the restaurant. Only downside was that we didnt get to sit in the cute honeycomb tables, it was a little hot, and they dont take any reservations so there was a line and pretty long wait time. Even with that, we had a great time, delicious dinner and got some great photos.

The ambiance was nice but food was average and not filling. These photos on here are a miss representation. Here's my photo, I opted out of the pork.

When you step inside it's like you are transported into a different place, luv the decor. We were able to get a table in the honeycomb... such a cool seating concept but be careful walking up and down the stairs. They have a call button... it's nice to be able to call someone to the table. We started with the Purple Sweet Potato Fries - crispy outside, sweet soft inside served with a delicious sauce. Second Course the Twins Bowl... genius! Spicy Couple Sapporo Miso + Spicy Tonkotsu - yummy broth, noodles, jammy egg, crispy tempura shrimp and flavorful tender pork ... a double dose of comfort in one bowl. Third Course Pork Tonkatsu Omurice - creamy egg, delicious sauces, crispy pork and fried rice. And don't forget the Amazing Lemonade- definitely lives up to its name... lemonade and cucumber water made a thirst quenching refresher this needs to come as a 24oz. Service was friendly and accommodating. I want to come back... see you next time.

Was really looking forward to checking this new ramen spot in Chinatown and first time I went shortly after they opened, I was told the wait would be 1.5 hours. Fast forward a couple months after the hype died down, was able to get seated immediately. Initially seated in the more conventional booth/table along the left side of the restaurant, I opted to move to the honeycomb section that is pretty much the highlight of the experience. The food was in line with other ramen places, but price is definitely on the higher side than others. There is a neat wishing tree inside that adds to the cool honeycomb section that is unique to any other restaurant I know of. Overall, neat experience with the ambiance and setting and I would definitely recommend going at least once, but probably wouldn't be part of my rotation.

Came back for the tonkatsu omurice!!! Was seated in a private booth this time, got to see the big tree in the middle of the restaurant, not sure what it's for though. Got a picture of the counter this time as well. Same as previous visit, service was prompt, seated within 1 minute, service is very convenient with the call button on the wall for you to press when you're ready to order or ask for bill. Partner got the mega pork chashu and shrimp ramen with takoyaki. The moist toilette is in a very nice packaging that feels nice to the touch. In addition the actual cloth is very thick compared to other restaurants, you can actually clean your hands with it, not just 2 fingers used to hold something like a pork rib.

I had been there once before on a Saturday at around 1pm and it was completely packed with a two hour wait. This time we got lucky and got in. Ambience is nice, better if you get one of the covered booths. The food was really delicious. I had the teriyaki burger. The buns are made of iterations of rice. It was different. We all enjoyed our food, the ramen was also very good. Definitely recommend!

December 5, 2023 came in from Galveston for the day for lunch and luckily, we got to sit right in the middle of the honeycomb!! love! friend had the ozu rice dish, which was a mostly cooked scrambled egg over chicken fried rice topped with a brown curry gravy [the gravy finished cooking the egg] NOT enough. for me, but not bad I had the A2 combo-pork ramen, pork bao bun, and matcha pudding topped with red mung bean and cream-- YUMMY うまいうまい iced Thai tea

The service was good. We were offered a seat in the honeycomb. The seating is awkward due to not having any back support. The table itself was small, even for two people. We ordered the okonomiyaki, takoyaki, tonkatsu ramen with white garlic, and omurice. The bonito flakes didn't curl like I expected, but the food all around was good. The omurice was ordered with the demi glace. The egg was runny but I was hoping for a little runnier.

Aesthetically beautiful ramen shop nestled in this newly remodeled center in Chinatown, Kyuramen is a chain restaurant that surely is Instagram worthy. With its honeycomb seating and private booths, this place is unique. The menu isn't too expansive, mostly composed of ramen and a handful of appetizers to choose from. I ordered the Tonkotsu shoyu ramen with white garlic ($15.99) and we ordered the fried squid appetizer to share. The fried squid was great. Crispy and chewy with just a touch of salt. My only complaint is I wish there was more! The ramen left more to be desired. The broth did not have enough depth to it - it wasn't creamy enough. The taste was still good, but it just didn't fulfill my ramen needs, the ramen noodle was cooked perfectly though and they give you two slices to char siu and half an egg. My husband ordered the Omurice with pork katsu and you can only get it for the drink combo of either a Thai tea or cucumber lemonade. We didn't want the drink but you had no other options. For $24, this was way too expensive. The Omurice tasted great though. The pork katsu was some of the best I've had - it was surprisingly light and airy. The cucumber lemonade was sweet, but totally worth the sugar intake. The price was the only negative for me for this dish. Overall, I wouldn't come back given the lack of depth in the ramen and the high prices. But I had a nice lunch and appreciated that you could check in to Yelp for a free dessert!

We tried it again much farther away from their soft opening and everything was pleasantly better but some stuff didn't change We finally got to try the omurice and it was a unique flavor. The demiglace was a super concentrated beefy flavor which I loved. Reminiscent of a high quality Salisbury steak sauce in the best way The katsu was good but way too thin for my liking. I like a thick cut katsu The ramen flavor was a lot better today but that reminiscent aftertaste still lingered not sure what it is. All in all a better experience

I've seen this place featured on so many TikTok's and Insta reels and figured it was finally time to try it, especially now that they hype has died down. This place is nestled in the same shopping center as Dim Sum King and the police station, so it's easy to miss if you're not looking close. We came in around 12:45 on a Saturday for lunch and there was no wait. We requested to sit in the insta-famous honeycombs, and there were a couple of them available. What a cool experience! Despite having to climb a set of narrow stairs, they view is great and it's an intimate setting, perfect for intimacy and serious conversations. After perusing the menu and debating what to order, we settled on: Popcorn Chicken for appetizer, Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen, Classic Japanese Omurice which came with a Thai Tea, and the Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly for dessert. The popcorn chicken was perfectly crispy and had just the right amount of salt and MSG flavoring (no shame). These were addicting, and we kept popping these in our mouths, careful to save room for the rest of the food we had coming. We got the Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen with black garlic, as it comes with either white garlic or black garlic. We were told the black garlic has a stronger garlicky flavor, so that was a definite yes for us (vampires beware). I'm glad we chose this, as we are both garlic lovers, and it went so well in the tonkotsu broth. It did not overpower the pork bone flavoring, and was a great complement to the chashu pork and vegetables. The ramen did come with corn, in addition to the bamboo shoots, wood-ear mushroom, and seaweed - I'm not used to corn being in Japanese ramen, but no complaints. The broth itself was flavorful and the chashu pork was perfectly tender. On to the famous Omurice which I believe this place is known for. At $20, the most expensive fried rice I've ever ordered. Its was tasty, but the fried rice itself was nothing exorbitant. You are really just paying for the presentation: the server cutting the egg down the middle and pouring the gravy over the top. For the gravy, you are given the choice of curry sauce or demi glace sauce - we asked for both! This was a good call, as it allowed us to try each. My favorite was the demi glace sauce, as it had a nice balance of sweet and savory. While the curry sauce was also really good, the curry flavor was quite strong and is better suited to a Japanese Katsu curry, rather than as a dressing on fried rice. Upon Yelp check-in, they offer a free dessert choice between Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly or Matcha Pudding with Red Bean. We opted for the former, and it was a great choice. The jelly was gelatinous and as a cherry flavor enthusiast, the cherry was just right and not overpowering. It came with an additional glaze that you can pour on top of the jelly if you desire more cherry flavor. Service was excellent and considering we were way up in the honeycomb, the waitstaff still made an effort to walk all the way up to deliver our food, refill waters, and check on us periodically. There is conveniently a little bell at the table similar to what you see at Korean restaurants, so this is a good way to flag down the servers in case they don't see you being down at ground level. I'm glad to have found a new ramen spot, and in Bellaire too! We'll definitely return and try more offerings on the menu. So many more choices for ramen and appetizers! I don't know if I'd order the omurice again given the price tag, but rather save that for more variety of nomz at the table!

I found this place on social media while visiting Texas and I decided to stop by and give it a try. The atmosphere was the most luring factor about ths restaurant, as it looks like a bee hive! Everything was so clean and the service was quick, since we got there right as they opened. Here is what we decided to order: Tokyo Tonkatsu Shoyu Ramen: The flavor of this was just ok. There was nothing that stood out about it to me, but the meat was very moist and flavorful. It was a good sized portion enough to share if you are also getting other sides. Popcorn Chicken: It was nice and crispy and remained crisyp throughout the entire meal. I wish it did have a bit more seasoning or spice to it, though. Ika Geso Kara-age: This appetizer was basically fried squid tentacles. It was nice and crispy, but again would have liked a bit more seasoning or spice. Classic Omurice: I was so excited to try this since I have been obsessed with curry recently. However, the rice to curry ratio was not great. I wish there would have been more curry to go with it. However, they did put on a show for us and cut the egg so perfectly! It was so satisfying to watch. I was not expecting the inside to be a fried rice, so that was interesting. Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly (Free with Check-In): This was was pretty! The jelly had some edible flowers in it and the dessert also came with a little syrup to pour over it. It did taste very floral, but the texture was good, just like agar jelly. Matcha Pudding with Red Bean (Free with Check-In): This pudding was had a very strong matcha flavor. They give you a little half and half or something to pour over it. Although I did like it, the pudding was a lot thicker than I would have liked. Thai Iced Tea: This was very good and not too sweet! I really liked how strong the thai tea flavor was, because most places drown the tea flavor out with the milk. I really enjoyed how they offered a free dessert for yelp-check ins! We were able to try both their desserts to end our meal. Overall, I think the food was good. I have had better ramen before, but maybe that is just because I am more of a clear broth shoyu fan. It is definitely a spot to try out, but I am not sure I would really go out of my way to return.
