Ramen Moto

This restaurant popped up on my Instagram and I've been dying to come visit ever since and I finally got the chance this past weekend. The BEST Japanese restaurant I've ever eaten at, and I loved the ambiance and great service as well! I started off with the Seoul Nuggets (which when they say spicy they mean it) which definitely packed some heat but with some great flavor too! I also got the Ribeye Kushiyaki which was so tender amd sweet which was a good balance after the Seoul Nuggets. For my entrée I ordered the Spicy Tsukemen which was some of best and spiciest noodles I've ever had, if you love spice and thicker noodles this is definitely the go to bowl for you! I finished off my meal with the Lava Toast which was beyond mind blowing, a must after finishing your meal especially if you have a sweet tooth. I will definitely be back regularly and to try all the different items on the menu!

Came here on a Friday night for date night! I loved the atmosphere, the fact that they were still open at 1am... and that's majority of the days out the week, so very convenient. Prices were super inexpensive and the drinks as well. I feel as if the portion size were more than enough. I never finish. Definitely in my top 2 Ramem spots. I came here again a few days ago on a solo date. The staff was very kind. I ordered the Burnt Garlic Ramem.

This is the same chain as Night Market Noodle in Chinatown. Same branding, same menu, same design, just different name (?) Ramen was alright - nothing outstanding. Egg was not well cooked (overcooked). Broth flavor was decent. Skewers were also just ok. Would recommend garlic edamame and the crispy potato puff

5 stars in all regards. Service was attentive and friendly. Best ramen I’ve had in Houston. Appetizers were excellent as well. All very reasonably priced. And the atmosphere was very chill and relaxed. Highly recommend and we will be coming back

Excellent place for ramen! Good quality and good prices. Service was fast and the workers were friendly. Interior is nicely decorated and there’s plenty of free parking space. My only qualm is there is a 3D printed bulbasaur locked up near the front desk. Please free him!

Wooden booths, amazing Food, amazing Plating, amazing Price, pretty great 10/10 will bring friends and family back Dipping ramen was very flavorful, dipping broth had a smoky bonito flavor with the pork to give it some depth and texture. Bits of yuzu and mushroom gave bursts of citrus and some extra texture. Spicy black ramen had great flavor, thin noodles just as al dente and pleasant to bite into as the thick Pork cuts for ramen are thick with incredible flavor, texture. They’re rectangular instead of round like at most ramen places but it’s the best I’ve had. Portion sizes were also excellent. For dessert we got the yuzu sherbet; DEFINITELY recommend. It had this thick dense stretchy texture that I couldn’t get enough of. Also shoutout to the extremely friendly and attentive staff!

Tried the spicy Tori paitan ramen. Watch out it’s super spicy. Though my spice level is very high. Good flavourful ramen. The garlic edamame was too oily for my taste. Ramen is good to try.

Before I begin, shout-out to whoever is in charge of the music AMAZING. Food was amazing too, friendly service and I do recommend the Lychee margarita.

This spot has turned into my favorite Ramen in the city! They have many options, lots of additions, and even different noodle sizes. I have liked everything that I've ordered from here, including some of their apps, like the ribeye skewers. This is a super modern and urban vibe. Sexy interior, good service, and overall just an excellent experience every time. We love this spot!

Ambiance inside is warm and welcoming. Staff was courteous and prompt. Parking is tight but not awful if you come early. Was bumping at 5pm Friday night. Keema Paratha | $7.50 - pretty much roti and the sauce is very spicy. Not bad Ribeye with wasabi | $11.50 - salty. Flavor was good. But some bites were too chewy and dry. Others were juicy. Weird range of bites. Miso Hamachi | $15 - deeply disappointing. Deconstructed bits thrown together with little thought to harmony in this dish. Toppings on top of hamachi were hard and stale. Spicy Miso Ramen | $13.75 Agreed upon by the whole family that the ramen was okay but didn't stand out. Egg didn't have the depth of flavor expected in a ramen egg. Tasted more like a normal egg. And actually undercooked TOO much. A perfect ramen egg has a bit of "jaminess" to it. This tasted closer to the doneness of an onsen egg. Pork was fatty but didn't have a whole lot of deep Chashu flavor either. Overall, I suspect they're getting their feet under them. Not sure I'd come back but wish them luck to nail down some of these basic staples in ramen.

So this place is a sister restaurant to Toukei, Aka, night market, and Ishin Udon, which explains the similarities in their menu! What we ordered * Ika Geso - it's a fried squid with a side cabbage salad ish. The squid was fried to perfection, crispy and well seasoned. Loved the dipping sauce as well * spicy tori paitan - if you feel like your spicy ramen is never spicy enough, ramen moto got you. It's pretty spicy (even for someone who regularly enjoys spicy food and buldak). The green onion and the red onion felt a little overpowering for the broth. Also I think there was an error with our order and we got the thin noodle instead of the medium noodle that is standard. We don't really recommend the thin noodle though. * spicy tsukemen - rEALLy spicy and rich broth. Overall very solid. Two things though: 1. The nori had a musty smell so I picked it to the side. 2. The thick ramen was chewy and nice, but they also got sticky in the bowl pretty soon and was a little hard to pick it up and dip it. Vibe 8/10 - the interior and seatings have a very nice late night vibe to it. The low lights and a solid playlist price $25 ish per person after tips and taxes party of 2 people I give 7/10 1/24/25 We did arrive pretty late around 11:45 pm , and there was only one server serving the bar and all the guests in store so it was a little slow; but totally understandable. Not sure if I'll return, it's solid and opened late so that's definitely a plus, but feel like the quality and the nuance in the ramen could definitely be executed a little better!

I was so excited to try this spot because I've been wanting yakitori and they had pretty good reviews. This is in one of the corners of the many strip malls in Houston, luckily has a parking lot out front so that wasn't an issue. There are two doors but the entrance is the one tucked away closer to the corner not the easily visible one. Anyways this is a casual ramen, Japanese restaurant with a couple additional items. Service was fine, nothing much to say there. Where I got disappointed was the food. I ordered a few yakitori skewers (chicken heart, gizzard, and skin) along with the demon ramen. First, I will say the demon ramen broth was great as well as the noodles. The description did say thick noodles but they seemed like regular ramen noodles to me. The broth was rich, mildy spicy, and warm, perfect for the somewhat cold front we had. Noodles, bouncy and chewy. The pork chasiu I had was a bit dry and the egg was not seasoned, which was a bit of a downer. The real sore spot for me was the yakitori, the chicken hearts were extremely overcooked and oddly gamey. The gizzards were tasteless and the chicken skin was also pretty bland. Not sure if it was just an off night but don't think I'd be coming back for yakitori. Overall, this seems like a fine ramen spot but I'd hard pass on the yakitori.

Randomly stopped by this restaurant one Sunday evening and was met with fantastic service and incredible food. We tried the burnt garlic ramen (Rich Pork Bone Soup, Chashu, Ajitamago, Mushroom, Bamboo, Scallion, Roasted Garlic, Mayu, Thin Noodle) and demon ramen (Extremely Spicy Numbing Miso Pork Broth, Chashu, Ajitamago, Bean Sprouts, Mushroom, Menma, Scallion, Cilantro, Thick Noodle). The burnt garlic ramen's broth was incredible rich and perfectly paired with its thin noodles. The demon ramen was incredibly spicy but also delicious. To top the meal off, we tried a kushiyaki; per our server's suggestion, we ordered the negi thigh (Chicken Thigh, Green Onion, Soy Tare, Sesame) which was incredibly juicy and flavorful. Our server was so helpful and lively. Overall, incredible experience and I would definitely come back.

We came here on a Thursday night, and there was a 20-30 minute wait. They were quick to clean the tables after diners left but very slow to seat us as there were 4 empty tables before we got sat. The seating is mostly booths. The menu has a lot of variety. There are a lot of smaller appetizer options. The Ramen menu was not huge, but the Ramen was pretty good. The Hamachi was really good and the mushrooms were great as well. The parking lot is small and is shared with the other businesses. Would definitely come back here again.

My friend and I visited Ramen Moto on a weekday evening, and overall, it was a mixed experience. Parking was convenient, and the ambiance was great--clean and stylish. The aesthetics definitely stood out. We started with the negi thigh skewer and the baby octopus skewer. I also ordered the Katsu Curry Rice, while my friend chose the Nikumiso Curry Rice. Unfortunately, we arrived around 10:30 PM, and 4 dishes, including my first choice, the eel rice, were unavailable. The skewers were a highlight for me. I loved the sauces and the charred flavor, with the negi skewer being my favorite of the two. However, the Katsu Curry Rice fell short. While the katsu itself was juicy and delicious, the curry flavor seemed off, and the rice was disappointingly stale. I didn't try my friend's nikumiso curry, but note that this dish is spicy. While I enjoyed the ambiance, service, and kushiyaki, this wouldn't be my top choice for a repeat visit.

great ramen! tonkotsu and spicy miso were delicious. the spicy miso definitely had a good kick to it. tonkotsu was so comforting! the parking was a little rough. restaurant was super cute with booth style seating that can accommodate up to 6 people. our waitress was super nice and patient!

Great late night ramen spot that also offers a variety of grilled meats and other Japanese bites. If you got the late night munchies in the area, this is definitely a casual spot that must be on your list. Food is hearty and satisfying.

Dined in on a Thursday for a party of two at 6:30 PM and was seated immediately. Restaurant is a modern day Japanese izakaya cabin. The wooden benches hurt after a while. It should have been named Izakaya Moto! We ordered: Kawa senbai: deep fried chicken skin goodness, they could go easy on the seasoning that is sprinkled on, very salty Takoyaki: I love me some octopus balls! I like that they don't drench it in sauce like other places. Ika geso: yummy fried squid tentacles, it needs to be cut up into smaller pieces and served with lemons. Hamachi chili: fresh cuts of hamachi Negi thigh: chicken thigh was tough and not marinated long enough, wouldn't order again Chicken skin: needs to be crispier and salted more Burnt garlic: THE BEST GARLIC RAMEN! Not salty and I drank all the broth! Lava toast: just like Mein! Very good Tajin yuzu sherbet: this will make your mouth pucker! Good palette cleanser but not for everyone.

It's a cool set up with asian style booths to match the style of the food. We were seated quickly, our order was taken promptly and all of the food delivered to our table as ordered. The miso broth was delicious, the edamame as well.

Great place for kushiyaki (grilled skewers) and ramen. Expansive menu with ramen, rice dishes, and many smaller appetizers to share. They also have a variety of options for the more adventurous like ankimo (monkfish liver), ox tongue, chicken hearts, and chicken gizzards. Their ramen is pretty good, but a small portion of their menu. If you go with a group it might be a good idea to split a ramen then get a few small dishes. The parking lot is small because it's shared.

It was my first time dining in as I usually order to go I sat here for 10 minutes before the waiter/bartender , decided to ask me if I was being taken care of. I had no menu, no water or anything in front of me! And the place is almost empty!! Horrible service and they have no common sense..Also, even though the menu says that they close the kitchen at 12:45. The reality is they close the kitchen around 12:20 and if you call after that they turn it away. The food is great!!

I remember seeing Ramen Moto in Post Houston and not trying it out because I didn't see an obvious vegetarian option on the menu board. When I heard that they opened up a new location in (or moved to) a strip center on West Alabama, I took a look at their menu and found that they had one, the Spicy Garlic so I went to check it out. What I noticed first was the late closing hour at 1am every day except for Mondays when it closed. I had been to the previous restaurant which was at this location and Ramen Moto had a complete redesign of the layout. There were a bunch of canopied booths which was a unique look. As for the food itself, the fish on top of the Moto Tuna was room temperature and did not have much of a taste until you mixed it into the mayo and edamame bottom. The spicy garlic ramen was good, but you definitely tasted the spice over the black garlic oil. A note that the water tasted bad which is consistent with the Houston tap water news. I was hoping that the restaurant had a filter but they didn't.

I'm gonna be coming here a lot lol. I'm so glad a japanese ramen/izakaya place opened up closer to me. My husband and I came on Sunday night after 8 pm and there was a decent crowd. We got a bunch of yakitori including hearts, gizzards, chicken thigh and also an eel bowl. Everything was delicious. The hearts and gizzard are cooked so well. There;s also an extensive drink menu which my husband appreciated.

Service was good but food was a little below average. Everything except the hamachi was salty. Even compared to other Ramen shops in Houston, it faired on the lower end of the scale (in my opinion). Prices were reasonable for ramen, but I couldn't even finish what I got because of the saltiness.

Bartender was excellent and attentive. Everything we order was cooked perfect and tender. This is my new late night go to spot. Highly recommend. Tons of Japanese whiskey selection to pick from too.

I really enjoyed this place while visiting Houston. The booth seating and lighting all gave it a cool little feel to me. We waited about 10 minutes to get seated but once we were we received service pretty quickly. The edamame was delicious as was the Burnt Garlic Tonkotsu.

We were hungry around midnight after some drinks at a nearby bar, and saw this place was open until 1 AM. Very friendly, welcoming staff. The gyoza was delicious. Ramen was okay 7/10, I got the spicy miso. I wish the ramen was a more customizable, but it did the job. The edamame was a bit underwhelming. But I would come back again for late night ramen cravings.

The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice and comfortable, good for conversation or a date night. The ramen is amazing, the broth is thick and flavorful and the spice is perfect. Service can be kind of slow so try to order everything at once

starting off with the good tuna wasabi was fantastic. must try imo hamachi chili was solid lava toast was yummy the beef curry rice was good but stupid spicy ambience is quite nice chicken in the ramen was super tender and then the not so good wanted something cold and sweet after that spicy beef rice and the yuzu sorbet was not it. texture was not it as some was smooth and some icy overall solid, and nice that it's open till 1 am on weekdays

The wait was about 45 min on a Friday night. It's very popular. While waiting the bartender helped me pick a Japanese whisky. It was so good I went the next day and bought a bottle (Akashi Ume). She was very helpful and picked a great one. Our waiter was lovely. Food came out medium speed. The chicken app was good. If you like chicken hearts the sauce on them is really good. My issue was the ramen broth had a grill taste that wasn't great but otherwise it was good. Overall, I'll come back and try again and try other dishes.

I tried this new ramen place with my mentor! They used to be inside the food court at the Post but relocated to the upper Kirby area. They are like an izakaya with a huge menu of appetizers, ramen, skewers, rice dishes, and noodles. The interior is decorated very nicely in a way that would make you feel like you're in Japan. I got the tori paitan ramen and she got the Sapporo miso. We also got the salt wing skewers, tori nanban, and torched salmon as our apps. The tori paitan is a chicken based ramen broth with chicken and some yuzu. I thought my broth was decent but I definitely prefer the stronger pork broths, yuzu ramen does tend to be in the lighter side. The chicken itself was a little tough so overall the ramen was just meh to me. My mentor's Sapporo miso ramen had really thick cut chashu that was also tough so that was also disappointing. I prefer thinner sliced shashu. The egg was also not fully soft boiled, it was a little hard boiled around the edges. The appetizers however were really really good. The salt wing skewer had sake, garlic butter, and shichimi. The wings were really big, with crispy skin and juicy meat inside. The tori nanban was karaage that was marinated with ginger soy and topped with egg tartar. I really liked the egg tartar sauce on top, it's creamy, rich, and savory and adds a lot to the chicken. The torched salmon had bonito mayo, garlic oil, and ponzu. It was good, but I did not get any torched taste out of it. I would definitely recommend this place for their hot and cold apps but not their ramen. They have a big variety to choose from too

Love the atmosphere and food at this ramen spot. It's so cozy! Menu was huge too, there were so many options. Got the spicy black ramen with side of corn. The chashu was tender and paired well with the ramen broth. The noodles were not too thin and the texture was great.

My friend and I came to Ramen Moto after a concert. The parking lot was very convenient and spacious. The interior was designed well and the place was very clean. Service was great as well. However, I feel the food was a bit lacking. The skewers were the highlight of our meal. I wish we had just ordered a bunch of them. The chicken thigh was tender, juicy, and flavorful. The baby octopus had an interesting chewy texture but delicious seasoning. We ordered two types of curry rice dishes and they fell flat. My nikumiso curry was spicy... but that's about it. The flavors were a bit one dimensional and not a bomb of different delicious spices as you would expect from curry. The stale, lukewarm rice was a turnoff as well. I wish there had been some sort of vegetable to balance out the curry and rice instead of the tiny portion of red pickles. I tried my friend's katsu curry and it was very underwhelming as well. I would stick to the skewers if you plan on visiting.

Omg we FINALLY have a late night spot in this area, and it's actually BOMB!! Ramen Moto used to be a small ramen stand at the Post food hall, and they have now expanded to a brick and mortar. It's open until 1am everyday except Monday. Wow-- the ambiance is so reminiscent of Tokyo with warm lanterns and real wood tables and booths. Parking is easy and accessible in the lot. We stopped by on a Friday night, and it was not crowded and dishes came out quick. I love that they play Bad Bunny which makes it energetic and lively. The ramen is good, but where this place really SHINES is their alcohol selection, small plates, rice dishes! Alcohol- They have an extensive selection of Japanese whiskey, Toki highballs on tap, shochu, sake, Asahi on draft and other Japanese beer by the bottle, soju, even plum wine. If you are looking for something, they probably have it here. They have several flights (Nikka, Mars, Shibui + shochu and sake) to choose from as well if you want to try a little of everything. Sake can be bought by the bottle, can, glass, or by a carafe which has several servings in it. Their cheapest sake takara nigori is very light and creamy-- highly recommend for only $10 for a carafe! We also tried every cocktail and were not disappointed. All cocktails are made from Japanese liquor, so it pairs perfectly with the food. If you like sweet, Roppongi Hills is like a lychee martini, and Ichigo Punch is a creamy strawberry mango drink. They also have a frozen yuzu margarita and lychee margarita, both you can't tell by taste, but they are pleasantly strong. Otherwise, the Shibuya Shouga is refreshing pineapple-lime, and Old Fashioned has a nice aroma of grapefruit. Small plates- Their menu is huge so a little intimidating at first, but you can't go wrong with anything. The larger grill items like hamachi kama and ika yaki (squid) take a bit longer but worth it- great smoky flavor and perfect to share with a group- tip: order first so they come out on time! Of course they have all the classics like gyoza, okonomiyaki, tori nanban (karage or fried chicken nuggets), and ika geso (calamari), but you're missing out if you don't branch out here. The keema paratha was OMG so flavorful, beautiful fusion of Japanese and Indian curry, and if you are dying for more (which you will be), there is also a whole keema curry rice dish entree with the same keema beef! Other highlights for cold dishes are salmon yukke with a raw quail egg yolk, hamachi chili (yellowtail), takowasa (octopus) with real wasabi, and yodare tori (tender chicken with spicy Szechuan sauce). For skewers, everything was perfectly smoky and charred, but for sure get the wasabi ribeye. These also take awhile, especially the salt and soy chicken wings. Ramen- Their best ramen is the Tori Paitan, which is chicken-based. SUCH clean, warm, rich chicken broth with SUPER tender and juicy chicken breast, complemented by bright yuzu and a cute lotus chip. Omg to die for and so unique. The add-ons come out on little small plates and are more bare bones. For example, the butter corn is literally corn from a can with cold butter on top. I would say save your stomach to try a lot of small plates instead, and maybe share 1 ramen bc they are huge. They also have dipping ramen, and the spicy tsukemen is truly spicy. Rice dishes- so underrated!! Did not expect much from these, but the curry dishes are better than the ramen. Katsu curry is more of your traditional Japanese curry but with the addition of pickled radish and a onsen tamago (lightly poached egg) which TRANSFORMS the dish. Nikumiso curry is a fusion of Japanese and Indian beef curry (keema), very well done. The only thing I would not recommend is the kaisen don as you can get better sashimi/raw dishes from the cold small plates. Dessert- LAVA TOAST is a MUST!!! Made from thick Japanese milk bread and pan fried with butter, the salted egg yolk in the middle melts with the condensed milk. If you don't like too sweet, ask for condensed milk on the side. The yuzu sherbet ice cream is unique and refreshing with chamoy and tajin. Service- everyone, from the bartender to the servers, are very attentive, and I love that they keep your table clean. The GM stopped by our table and was very friendly! 10/10 Overall, definitely stop by with a group of friends for izakaya (small plates and drinks)!!! You can hang as long as you want and keep your appetite up with skewers, sashimi, or ramen, there is truly something for everyone. Love the food, ambiance, service, I can't wait to return!

Amazing service and even better food. My girlfriend and I love coming here with friends. It's a great group environment and they really take care of you.

Went here with the girlies after a Tinashe concert, it's open late which is amazing. Ambiance was so beautiful, the dining booths are so cute and feel very private. We ordered ribeye skewer, chicken thigh skewers, tonkatsu ramen, spicy chicken ramen, and a vegan black garlic ramen. Each dish was absolutely amazing with special shout-out to the VEGAN BLACK GARLIC RAMEN was to dieeee for!! 10/10 will definitely be back again soon.

Great ramen. Service was good. If you're on this side of town, I would say it beats out of a lot of other ramen places with lots of other choices if you want something other than ramen. I would definitely come back again.

Just amazing food and wonderful decor. It transports you to Japan! Definitely worth a visit

The best ramen my kid said she has ever had and she gets lots of ramen from different places. I really liked my chicken ramen and she had tonkatsu. And the dessert toast was delicious too! Only not so appealing thing is the bathroom kind of stinks. Food wise we could say 5+ stars. Bathrooms are great with the paper towels that are touch free but needs a bit more cleaning/ airing out somehow. We will definitely be back! Oh and I forgot to mention the hostess was very nice and I think her name was Darling? She really was a darling!

I'm not exactly a Ramen guy but ate every last bit of my Tonkotsu and loved it all. Also got to try some of the Tuna and it was also delicious. Service was also great so overall this seems like a great new place!

Parking was good, service was good, ambiance could be better as it was kind of too dark inside. Food took awhile to come out. Waiter used same towel to wipe table and chair. Got fried chicken and squid for appetizers, it was good, but wish it came in smaller pieces. Water cup was too small. I had to constantly refill my water cup. I got the spicy miso ramen and it was extremely salty. Like salt doesn't cost money kind of salty. I think I'll need to take a blood pressure medication from the amount of sodium in that bowl of ramen. Chashu wasn't packed with flavor, and the soft boiled egg was super bland. Imo does not taste like ramen in Japan.

I can't get enough of this place. They have a very similar menu at my favorite restaurant in Chinatown called Toukei. Their manager checks up on you to make sure you're taken care of and the ambiance feels like a mini Tokyo joint. It's a must try food joint.

Amazing. So glad to have this place in my neighborhood- will definitely come back. Very cozy ambiance. Fast service. Great food. Menu feels izakaya + ramen shop + expansive whiskey collection all at very reasonable prices. My favorite was spicy tseukemen. There aren't too many places that do dipping noodles and make it delicious!

Was looking for a new Ramen spot and found this place slightly off the busy roads. Having gone in the place is new with a huge selection of premium Japanese whiskey and other alcohols. The menu is vast and the two items I tried were amazing and the server was very helpful in any questions we had. Highly suggest and can't wait to try something else there!

Our first time trying ramen moto! Food was delicious & came out quickly. Solid option for ramen & the skewers were great!

Great ramen and ambiance. Their fried squid is well done as well. This place used to be in POST but it looks like the saved up in enough good boy points to open a well earned brick and mortar location.

i came to Ramen Moto because of a tiktok. i saw the ambiance and i wanted to go right away. so i did i went on a double date both of us pregnant and we went with an apatite. food portions were great the taste was great. to start...the non alcoholic drinks were just fountain drinks nothing special...why was there a floating little black bug looking speck in my sprite ? and the server said "oh it's probably a piece of mint" maam...what mint ? it came from the fountain machine the wait time was 0 but if you don't have servers of know you can't handle another table why sit us? my waiter came and rushed our drink order and we weren't ready so she just gave us "time" and waters the "time" she gave us was 15 minutes for drinks.. she came back gave us drinks and then took our order, my order was edamame, 2 spicy chicken ramen and 2 pork ramen..easy. we sat next to the kitchen were they have stools and the workers were getting food and eating infront of the kitchen while it took us 35 minutes to receive ONE chicken ramen and ONE pork ramen. they gave us 1 of each and after we were halfway done they brought the rest. the server was never attentive the service made us all keep our great tips and our future visit because as pregnant women and paying men it was so devastating.

Ordered takeout and got the spicy miso ramen without mushroom or tofu and it was really really good. The service was great and very clean and inviting vibe. We came pretty late so they were out of my first options of the udon and soba noodles but will have to come back earlier next time to try those.

Food taste good prices are cheap open late ...great option for a date ...I got the spicy miso and pork belly ...it was so tasty I'll definitely be back

This place is weird. We walked in and stood at the hostess stand like dopes for awhile until someone finally came over and told us it would be a 10 minute wait despite there being a ton of empty tables. She took our phone number and we waited in the car because there didn't seem to be anywhere to wait inside. The wait wasn't 10 minutes but when the hostess called us to let us know our table was ready we said we will be right in and she said "how long?" Ummmm.... We are right outside, that's why you took our number, with the assumption that we will wait somewhere outside of the restaurant We went inside and the hostess smiled at me so I went up to her and she said "let me just seat this other party" and it was like a huge party of a family with kids. Why call us if you're gonna make us wait some more? Why are you not making other people wait for a table but you're making us wait? Seems like the kitchen was backed up so they told employees to act like they didn't have tables ready when in reality the kitchen just couldn't handle a normal capacity of diners In terms of the food, the broth and the noodles were good, but that's it. The egg was an ABOMINATION. Hard boiled. That's not a ramen egg. And it was cold on the inside. The place has a ton of kids there and it seemed like the food is cooked for a kid's palate. I'm not sure this place will last long. Too many other ramen places that know how to make an egg and won't create an awkward situation just to get seated at a table.

Insanely good ramen and every appetizer was grade a fresh. I can't wait to come back truly and it's open till 1

This place is so good. The service is super attentive and quick, it's always welcoming. We come here probably twice a week. It's open late which is perfect, and it's right in the neighborhood with easy parking. Inside is a really nice vibe, dim lighting and wooden booths, it's comfortable and chill. Everything we try is always really good, the food is great and not ridiculously expensive. My boyfriend likes the spicy miso and the spicy tsukemen a lot.

We tried the fried squid tentacles (ika geso), baby octopus, and the garlic edamame. All are very tasty! The ramen is decent but a tad salty. Overall a great late night joint.

This is hands down the best Ramen I've had here in Houston and I've been to quite a few! The servers are very informative and attentive. On our first visit, been there three times in last two weeks, the server was able to help us select the best appetizers and Ramen with her recommendations. She didn't steer us wrong because everything was delicious! We had fried squid, pork belly, and chicken heart skewer for appetizers. We both chose the spicy black garlic ramen. Everything was flavorful and just delicious!! The decor is simple yet inviting. I highly recommend this place to anyone who loves ramen. They also offer a great selection for cocktails, sake, and whiskey that includes Japanese whiskies! Definitely will be back again soon!

Great service, great ramen, and good ambiance. The owner was very welcoming. Will definitely return.
