Here’s What You Need to Know About the Tatsu-ya Restaurants in Austin

When I attended St. Edward’s University, I went on a one-week trip to Japan to learn more about the Japanese culture, as part of a global business ethics and responsibilities course. The trip was amazing! Everything about the country blew me away, especially the food.

Luckily, we have our fair share of authentic and mouth-watering Japanese cuisine here in Austin. I’m sure you’ve heard of one of the restaurants I frequent: Ramen Tatsu-ya. But did you know the Tatsu-ya group has three other restaurants in Austin, with a fourth on the way?

Yummin’ Austin Ramen: Daruma

Daruma Ramen Austin

Cute little fat ninjas love ramen

Everyone has gotten excited about the ramen excursions I’ve been doing for the Austinot. As a result, my ramen posse has expanded quite a bit. When Annie told me that the EIGHT people coming to Daruma might be difficult to accommodate, I didn’t realize how right she was.

If Daruma Ramen is the sister to Kome Sushi House, it is the LITTLE sister. Their space holds a grand total of 29 people, at two long tables and two high bars. Daruma can be found with a magnifying glass at 612-B East 6th St.

To Daruma’s credit, they fit our big party, even though we took up pretty much a whole table at primo lunch hour. [Read more…]

Yummin’ Austin Ramen: Kome to Me

Kome Japanese Restaurant in Austin

Not a straight ramen joint

In the interest of being hungry fair in my assessment of Austin’s Ramen Offerings™, I’m trying places that don’t necessarily specialize in ONLY ramen.

So for my next foray in the Yummin’ Austin Ramen series, I checked out Kome Sushi Kitchen, located at 4917 Airport Boulevard.

Kome is mostly famous for their fresh, delicious, sushi. With the surge in ramen popularity, however, they opened up a ramen-only “sister” restaurant called Daruma this year (review forthcoming). [Read more…]

Yummin’ Austin Ramen: Michi Ramen

Michi Ramen Austin

“Glamorous” exterior

Ramen. Ramen, ramen, ramen. It’s all I can think about. Or tweet about. Or eat about.

After being introduced to Austin’s red-hot take on the Japanese noodle phenomenon at Ramen Tatsu-Ya, I immediately started scouting out other local ramen places, to see how they compare.

I conspired with my Austin Twitter posse, coordinating a group lunch expedition to Michi Ramen at 6519 N Lamar Blvd. [Read more…]

Yummin’ Austin Ramen: Ramen Tatsu-Ya

You’ve heard your friends talking about it: RAMEN FEVER has come to Austin. It’s appropriate, considering our feverishly hot season is coming too. Will delicious hot Japanese soup sustain its hype during the summer months?

It is our clear CULINARY RESPONSIBILITY at the Austinot to examine EVERY ramen place in Austin (with our stomachs), and so I took the “great burden” upon myself to visit Ramen Tatsu-Ya at 8557 Research Blvd. in Austin. [Read more…]
