R4 Bulgi-Miso Ramen is spicy and we could only eat 3/4 and had to take the remainder home...with extra noodles.

Bulgi-Miso - yuummmy!!! not spicy - just lots of flavor.
This says it all.

Vegetable ramen with egg and black garlic oil added
Rice bowls & dessert. Oh and they have a weekday special. The milk tea is more than double the price and gave us tummy troubles.

This place is a hidden gem across the street from the Kalahari resort. We got a Black Sauce Ramen, Bulgogi Miso, and Garlic Pepper wings and they were all so delicious! The wings were cooked to perfection with a nice crunch on the outside and flavorful seasoning. We enjoyed both of our Ramen's as well; the black sauce ramen was bold and flavorful and the Bulgogi ramen was also unique. They are on par with Ramen Tatsuya in my opinion!Will be back again soon!

I came to this location in June of this year and am finally getting around to adding this review (better late than never). Let's get to it, shall we? RamenI purchased the spicy ramen because why not? The key to making spicy ramen is adding a variety of ingredients to create the desired level of heat and flavor such as chili flakes, chili oil, chili crunch, sriracha, gochujang, sambal oelek, or togarashi... I was expecting to dive into this bowl of spicy ramen and have each slurp be packed with bold flavors and a satisfying heat. This was not the case. What could be tasted was the richness of miso, but not the chilli flakes nor any garlic, etc. This ramen was traditionally made but the flavor profile was missing. Chicken wingsThe chicken wings were okay but no extraordinary. They were fried properly yet the taste was not distinctive. Overall, this place is ight, but there are better ramen places in the area.

Been here twice, unfortunately I cannot say I would recommend to anyone to drive out of your way for. First time I went, I brought my son and niece. I can only remember the service was better that time but the ramen was nothing memorable.The 2nd time I went with my bf, there was a gnat in my ramen. The flavor was OK until I saw the gnat floating in there. The broth was thick and creamy from the pork fat but it was really missing meaty pork flavor and salt. They gave a us a discount for the gnat in my bowl but they discounted the price of my bfs bowl not mine (which was lesser in value) I guess that was the best they can do. They also forgot my bfs cola.

Such a cute spot right next to Kalahari! Everything was delicious and service was great. Definitely recommend the black ramen. It is so much flavor and didn't feel super heavy after I inhaled the whole thing. I'll be back to try more!

A first time visit here. After a chilly visit to the LIGHT park at Dell Diamond, this restaurant is secluded in a commercial strip and found by Yelp locations. From the outside it was less lighted, but definitely beams originality and decency. We came for a hot bowl of ramen and we found more. This place was cute! Not many guests at this time 7:00 pm. The staff was friendly. The menu was simple. When asked for a kids menu, we learned that the owners used to have a menu with more than 100 items and now limited the items. They do not have kids items. Suggested was to order an appetizer. Ended up ordering a full meal. The ramens were tasty and very rich. The amount was too little. Definitely not enough broth. Black sauce ramen was the tastiest to my opinion and the spicy chicken ramen was too spicy. Hot miso was actually most balanced. The chicken Karaage that we ordered 2 servings of, was well marinated and soft fried, not as crispy as I would have expected. There was a $2.99 deal for fresh tea boba if you ordered a meal. But added the milk it became $6.50. The milk that was used must have been dairy and not lactose free milk, because we got the tummy troubles. Bobas are commonly served with lactose free milk. And then came the bill: 5 quick small meals for $137....

This place is bad and it explains why we've consistently seen empty the fee times we considered it. This time my wife wanted to try it and we went. I got the R2 ramen with garlic broth, she got the karaage and my daughter got the chasu pork The ramen was ok. The chasu was bad and the karaage was plain terrible. Rice was mushy, meet was soggy and wet, nothing you would ever expect from a karaage. My best guess is this is all frozen and microwaved. Absolutely terrible. And the lack of ambiance didn't help The waiter was so obsequious that it was bothering. They made a big deal that they finally comped one of the dishes and made a point to tell us this was not policy. Never again...

Cuuutee cuuutee cute inside Located near kalahari this is a cute little spot to stop in on a cold day for ramen or boba ! Prices I felt they were a bit high for the quality u are receiving, We got Chicken wings- salt n pepper (wings were huge more sweet then spicy, I'd say light flavor) Octopus balls- wasn't what we were expecting Ramen- isn't the best ramen I've ever had , heavily handed on the green onions, broth wasn't as rich in flavor as I've had at other places Beef bbq- one of the most expensive items on the menu beef is very very very thinly sliced (yes I've had bbq before) but it was on top of a mountain of onions,.. taste was ok but definitely wouldn't order again Chicken wings were the favorite then the Ramen Cleanliness was great Customer service I'd say ,.. I feel bad because I felt they were stressed and underprepared for the amount of ppl. There was no friendliness no walking us to the table (Called out our name after waiting for some time n was told sit over there,.. just wasn't the hospitality u want for the first time at a place) Second was when we were ordering it was very rushed no interaction she wouldn't look at us, we wanted a recommendation n she just pointed to something n was like thts good Again felt they are missing the mark on customer service but looked very underprepared for ppl inside N that's NOT their fault I'll try again in the day time as the waitress did say she wished ppl would come then instead of the evening,.. So in short day time ramen place Go for wings

I came across a recommendation for this place on the Reddit subreddit r/Austinfood, and I was not disappointed!Upon entering, a young man promptly seated me he and a young lady delivered some of the best service I've experienced at a ramen restaurant. I started with the wings, which were irresistible. They were crispy and flavorful, making for a great appetizer--just be careful not to fill up on them!For my main course, I had the spicy miso ramen with black garlic and various added veggies. As I write this I just remembered I ordered bok choy which they left out of my ramen. That sucks!! Oh well it was good without it. My only other complaint was that I wished for more broth.Overall, it's definitely worth visiting! I will surely return if I'm in the area.

Cute vibes, great service, and mid food. I will say that I am a little bit picky about my ramen - I still think the gold standard in Texas is ramen tatsuya. That being said, this place was ok. Prices were in the high teens, portions ok. Soup was flavorful but not well salted - despite this, I was extremely thirsty after my meal. The soy eggs and pork were not bad. My dad got a pork don and it tasted like black pepper - no sauce or anything to go with the rice. Didn't make much sense to me. Takoyaki was covered in mayo, which I guess is a personal preference thing. Overall the service was really nice and atmosphere was clean and pleasant but I would not come back for the food.

First time trying Misaki Ramen and I'll definitely be returning! Ordered the garlic edamame and they had a nice salty and seasoned flavor. Also had the Chicken Ramen and the broth was flavorful and creamy. Overall attentive service and an enjoyable time at this new spot.
