Ramen Tatsu-ya

I've dined at every Ramen Tatsuya location except for their newest. And I do have to say, for whatever reason, the flavor changes each at each location you dine. So, while I rate this particular location a 5 - some others would receive a 4 or even 3. And last but not least, I have also noted a very slight change in the recipe at this location sometime after the pandemic. It's still amazing and the best you're going to get in town, however, the original signature flavor was undeniably better. I've been going here for years and years, about a decade now, and order the same dish every single time. At one point, the old crew would see me walk in (as I did on a near weekly basis) and would have my order rung up 15 feet later as I arrived at the register. How's that for customer service!? Even though folks on the team have come and gone here, they still live up to the very high standard of quality and customer service!

The OG brick-and-mortar location! What I loved: the whole Ramen Tatsu-ya menu, with savory broths, marinated eggs, and intriguing monthly specials; easy parking in the strip mall. What I didn't love: terrible lines (get there right when they open, not at 12); the slightly elevated prices. You can't go wrong in the off hours, though.

Came here for my birthday May 2023. It was AWESOME. We LOVED everything we ordered. I wore my traditional FAVORITE Japanese print birthday shirt I got from UNIQLO. We ordered The TSUKEMEN no egg, 2 orders of GYOZA, MUNCHIE KATSU SLIDERS, 2 orders of KARAAGE. Kids ordered some other Ramen dishes but forgot which ones. They loved them. And a Mexican Coke for me. Very reasonably priced. Ambience was a bit stuffy because of the Texas heat. It seems people didn’t linger. They ate and left and we did the same. I HIGHLY recommend this place to all my RAMEN-lovers. I am going back soon; very soon. Btw…the bathroom is a TRIP.

It was my first time trying Tatsu-ya Ramen, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations. While I've had ramen in Singapore before, the experience there didn't compare favorably to the one I had here. The service is minimal, but self-serve water is readily available. The ambiance is decent. The food arrives promptly; we waited no more than 5 minutes! We ordered the OG and the Mi-So-Hot. The flavors are delightful, particularly the soup. However, I found the noodles a bit firm. Next time, I plan to request them to be cooked a bit longer. Overall, I would rate this place 4 stars, and I'm definitely looking forward to returning for more.
