With three locations in Austin and one in Houston, Ramen Tatsu-Ya takes your taste buds on a trip to Japan without ever leaving Texas.

No matter which location you choose, the atmosphere is like stepping onto the streets of Tokyo.

Traditional Japanese décor covers the walls, creating a calm and peaceful vibe that keeps you totally relaxed while eating.

Start your meal with one of several appetizers, with options ranging from spicy edamame to pork dumplings to the ever-popular Japanese croquette.

When it comes time for the main course, you'll quickly realize there's a ramen for everyone.

Vegetarians and hardcore meat eaters alike can slurp noodles alongside one another, as both dietary preferences are catered to.

Each bowl of ramen consists of either pork, chicken, or a soy and mushroom broth, with pork belly, ground pork, or tofu as the protein.

All seven varieties differ slightly in their toppings, with over a dozen available add-ons to choose from.

A summer special, this Spicy Chilled ramen is the perfect way to beat the unrelenting Texas heat.

It features ground pork, cucumber, tomatoes, and a runny egg, all drizzled with mustard, chili oil, and citrus soy dressing.

Everyone deserves to be looked at in the way this customer is eyeing his ramen, don't you think?

It really is that good.

We almost forgot to mention drinks!

From traditional beverages like sake to more unique offerings such as a kimchi cocktail, you can rest assured you'll find the perfect sip to wash down your meal.
