Ramen Tatsu-Ya has achieved cult status in Austin for their deeply flavorful, soul-warming ramen. The tonkotsu broth simmers for over 60 hours, producing a creamy, pork-bone elixir of extraordinary richness. The original North Lamar location maintains a fun, punk-rock attitude with hip-hop playing and late-night hours. The menu features several ramen styles, each customizable with extra toppings and spice levels. Their mazemen (brothless ramen) is equally addictive. Lines are common, but the noodles are worth every minute of waiting.
