This is a must-try restaurant!! The ramen is one of the best I’ve had in the area. Ambiance: The service was really good, and there wasn’t too long of a wait. I honestly liked that you pay and order online, it was very efficient. Ramen: Everything about the ramen was great. I loved that the broth wasn’t too salty and had a nice, creamy flavor. The pork was insanely good. The portion size was great as well, and there were just enough noodles. If you need more, the side order of noodles is enough to make almost a whole second bowl of ramen.

Ok I want to emphasize this review is coming from a vegetarian! So take what I say with the grain of salt. I am so appreciative of a ramen spot having a vegetarian choice for all us vegetarian people. I went with my husband and a friend on a Friday evening at around 6 PM. There was a slight wait and they have an iPad in front that you can add yourself to a waitlist. I didn’t see an option to add ourselves on wait list prior to arrival. The service was great - they were constantly checking people in even with the waitlist and trying to clear tables out to keep the list moving. We probably waited around 15 minutes for a table. So really 5 stars on the service they were constantly checking in on us and refilling our waters. I got the vegan tan tan and though the noodles were great, I found

Ordered the Signature Shoyu and Tonkotsu Tan Tan. Bold and full-bodied broths. The ramen noodles were average, not much of a bounce or chew and failed to retain the flavor of the broth. Solid chashu with a light char. The price was a bit high for what was presented. A good but forgettable bowl of ramen. Had to wait a relatively long time after ordering until the food arrived which was unexpected given ramen is supposed to be quick.

Best ramen in Austin, hands down. Every meal I have had here has been awesome. I rarely spend money on eating out but this is one of the exceptions. Appreciate the regional specialties that are done as specials, really cool way to try bowls that are a little more unique. Noodles are made in-house and you can definitely tell - 10/10. Worth the drive any day!

Sunset Shoyu 10/10. Best ramen I’ve had in Austin so far. The broth and noodle texture is closest to authentic Japan. Definitely worth the drive! Come try!
