Ramen512

I don't know why I waited until now to try this place. I used to think Ramen Tatsuya was the closest to the tonkotsu I ate in Japan but this place is much better. Also, their broth is not overwhelming salty at the end. Please try their delicious tsukemen (I think it's only seasonal) This has become my favorite ramen in Austin.

Gotta admit, it’s hard to beat the gold standard of Ramen Tatsu-ya when it comes to serving ramen in ATX, but Ramen512 really knocks it out of the park! Everything cooked to perfect consistency. Flavors are deep and balanced, lending themselves to a well-rounded finish with every bite (or slurp, if you will). Props to the chef and owner—it’s clear they’ve done their research and diligence when it comes to serving great ramen!

The star of our visit was the Karaage. I ordered the Tonkotsu Tan Tan. It was really good. The chashu, egg and and broth were spot on. I liked the noodles but I’ve had better in Japan. Have yet to eat the perfect noodle here in Austin. My friend ordered the classic Tonkotsu. Hers was good and she liked it but the soup was too bland for me. I really liked the spiciness of the Tan Tan. Overall a really good meal.
