K Ramyun

What a great fun place with amazing service! The food and toppings taste incredible. Great selection! You will not be disappointed. I love going to a place I'm already thinking of coming back to. Cool Korean concept! Can't wait to be back!

K Ramyun offers a truly unique and interactive dining experience that any ramen lover needs to try. The self-service ramen concept is not only cool but makes for a fun, hands-on meal. From the moment you walk in, the friendly and helpful staff are ready to guide you through the process. If you're a first-timer, they'll walk you through choosing your ramen, preparing your broth, and even show you how to customize your meal with different cook times and temperatures.The variety of ramen choices at K Ramyun is impressive, with a wide array of rich broths, savory proteins, and delightful noodles to suit any palate. On top of that, the add-on option (from veggies and proteins to extra spice levels) allows you to create a bowl tailored exactly to your taste.While it can be on the pricier side, the experience is well worth it. Crafting your own bowl of ramen in a casual, friendly environment makes for a memorable outing. Whether you're a ramen connoisseur or just looking for a different dining adventure, K Ramyun offers a fun and flavorful experience that's sure to leave you satisfied.

I am not going to bury the lede:Are you willing to pay 15 bucks per person for a gimmick?If the answer is yes, then this is a good place to do so. Kpop playing in the background. Clean, No frills, decent selection ordered from non spicy to spicy. Kind and polite service. They're skimpy on the toppings. But again, you're not paying for the toppings. You're paying for the gimmick.The place gets busy on the weekends. I saw a line the first time I was in the area and gave it a pass. Lunch hours on weekdays seem to be good for a quick pop in.As far as gimmick restaurants go, it's not bad. And there's nothing wrong with a gimmick. I love a good gimmick. America was built on gimmicks.Gen Z and Alpha, check the game tip:This is the perfect first or second date spot. It's only a few bucks more than McDonald's but is a bit classier, gives you something to talk about.

I'll start off with the good things because there were some things that K-Ramyun does super well. I love how there are so many different options for for the type of ramen you want to make. And you can include however many you want in your order, given you're willing to pay for it. Like you don't have to just pick one packet, you can mix and match to your heart's delight if you really want. The owner is also super friendly, attentive, and helpful. I also saw him cleaning the noodle cooking area after each use to ensure the place was clean. The workers make sure you know how to use the machines, and the food was tasty! However, my biggest complaint is that the markups are so ridiculous. Especially when you realize that this concept came from sensationalizing the experience of going to a Korean CONVENIENCE STORE. You can get a pack of ramen with 4 packs inside for like $6. I already knew this place would be overpriced so I expected each individual pack of ramen to be like $5. To say I was shocked to see that it was actually $9 or even $10 of you chose a "premium" noodle is an understatement. Then you have to pay for each topping you want in it. I kind of expected like maybe you can get two free toppings and additional would be extra. But nope. Each normal topping is $0.99 and "premium" toppings are $1.99 each. And the serving size of the toppings are like small sauce containers. You don't even get to scoop as much as you want which might make the pricing make more sense. I know for a fact you can get a can of corn for like $0.64 but here, a small handful is $0.99?? A slice of Kraft American cheese is $0.99?? And they didn't even have that wide of a variety of toppings. If you want a drink, the prices themselves aren't too bad. But the fact that you have to pay for the ice and cup separately is just . And honestly the ice doesn't do that much, if you really want a drink, just drink it out the pouch. I ended up getting a non premium noodle, one premium topping (like 4-5 mini sausages), and a drink and the total came out to be almost $18. And that's without tip! Even though you're basically cooking your own noodles anyways. If you're gonna be spending that much on ramen, I recommend going to an actual ramen restaurant where they load your bowl with in house made stock, huge chunks of meat, vegetables galore, an egg, and fresh noodles. The experience itself was nice because it was new to me. But unless the prices drop, I don't see myself coming back again. This could very well be recreated at home for so much cheaper. It's not like they have special toppings or ingredients that you couldn't easily get from hmart. So it was not worth it at all for me.

Wonderful service. Delicious ramen and such a fun experience! Lots of toppings to add your own flair and a Photo Booth to remember your visit with friends. :-)

A self serve Korean Ramyun (noodle) place!? After hearing about this from a friend on social media, I had to immediately check it out for the theme alone. Thought simple and quaint, the overall idea and process is quite homely and charming, which in it's own right is worth a visit.Atmosphere: Small and simple, but very convenient store type feel. Similar to ones you may find overseas.Food: I went with a simple cheese Ramyun, the owner was very nice and helpful to assist me in the process. Basically you choose a packet and then pick a few sides and then complete your order. Though not over yet! Then you go over to their little Ramyum machines and wait for it to cook your food while you stir and let the noodles form. The overall process takes about 4 minutes. The food itself, is tasty, though with so much selection it's really up the user themselves. Service: As mentioned earlier the owner and other servers were very nice and helpful since this process is quite unique to the Austin area (at the time of this writing), though that's what makes the experience all the better.Can a lot of these be made at home? Yes. Is the experience reproducible at home? No. Is it charming enough to warrant multiple visits? Yes. I loved the overall simplicity and vibe you don't often seen within the USA and certainly would recommend for anyone looking for a different kind of experience for instant noodles, best of all no clean up.

Now this is one of my favorite places to get Ramen. I love that you get to make it yourself adding in exactly what you want. They are attentive and offered to help me right away. They showed me exactly what to do and explained the literal WALL of ramen to choose what I wanted for the base. The only down side is that it is small, very small. I went by myself but would love to good with my friend group. Though I'm not sure where we would sit.

Me and my friend came here for the first time to try the place out, we were met with service that was mediocre. And if you ever go here please don't use the Photo Booth. We weren't able to change our props because we had such a short amount of time, and if you are paying with cash you need the exact bill of the amount you are paying. Overall, the place was really great and some many options of ramen!!!

Super cute! I will say it is very expensive for what it is. We paid $43 for 2 ppl which is crazy for instant ramen. The experience was nice though :)Great date idea!

This spot is pretty cool and we all really enjoyed our Ramen's. The girl at the checkout counter wasn't very friendly and they actually have to walk you through the cooking process which ranges from 3-5 minutes. That was pretty painful but, we made it through. Afterwards we had to awkwardly stand around until some people got up and left so that we could have a place to sit. Their seating consisted of 3 tables and some bar like seating against the wall. Do not recommend for big families or small kids. For a family of 5, with 5 drinks and lots of toppings our total was $85. This is actually a good price for dinner for 5 but, I understand some people might think that's steep for instant ramen.
