Bakudan Ramen

First time here and the Garlic Chicken Noodles was fantastic! Fast, hot, fresh, rich broth, fresh ingredients and daily made noodles!Service was fast and the drinks were kept full!Nice and quiet late lunch.I'll be back!

It was my partners birthday yesterday so we wanted to try something we usually don't eat. When we got there we were seated right away and a few minutes the waiter was there getting us drinks. The food was good and it was very nicely decorated but I won't say it was anything to go crazy over. The service was okay maybe they were having an off day which is understandable. That doesn't take away that the soup sizes were huge and my bowl I ate and also was enough to feed my four year old.

Decent experience! This place has a nice variety of ramen bowls and some Asian fusion dishes. I ordered the Veggie Hot pot and it did not disappoint. I love how the hot stone bowl crisps the rice and keeps the whole dish steamy and fresh! They offer table service and/or takeout. My server was very attentive and brought me a fresh drink without me having to ask for a refill. The decor is beautiful and gives you an authentic Asian vibe. Would definitely revisit if in the area again!

Delicious ramen and great service. I had the vegetable ramen and added broccoli. Broth was great! My sister liked it better than her meaty one.

Bakudan on Bandera.. A Terrific ExperienceLast weekend, my boyfriend took me to lunch at Bakudan Ramen on Bandera. It holds sentimental value to me as it's where we had our first date at the RIM. Celebrating our anniversary, we opted for this location to avoid parking hassles at the RIM and liked that it was conveniently situated off I-1604 and we enjoyed half-priced apps during Happy Hour.During this visit, I'd like to highlight Ava, our efficient and delightful waitress, who promptly seated us after a warm greeting from the manager. Ava's smile and attention to detail created a 5-star experience and she quickly took drink orders and returned promptly to retrieve appetizer orders. While, the Shishito peppers, Gyoza, Shimp Tempura, Sriracha wings and Spicy Tuna Nachos were tasty, I told my boyfriend that we didn't need them all. I must note that while I understand inflation, appetizers are becoming increasingly expensive, and should not cost around the same price as a meal and without the Happy Hour prices, I probably wouldn't have purchased them. While we enjoyed our apps, our meal orders of Garlic Tonkotsu, Gyoza Chicken and Spicy Shoyo Ramen were out within minutes. The added apps, while tasty were not needed as the wait was minimal.The food was incredible, and the ambiance, along with Ava's excellent service, made our experience memorable. I shared with her boss how wonderful she was and look forward to returning for more memorable moments with my love.Highly recommended~Da Islandgal29412

This is one of my favorite Ramen places in San Antonio. The homemade noodles are really what stand out here. They have a pozole ramen on the weekend only that is one of my favorites. The broth is always very flavorful. The staff is always friendly. They have beer which is also a plus. There is plenty of parking since this is located in a shopping center. The dinning area is a bit small so there can be a wait if you come here during a busy time. The one complaint that I have is that sometimes the music is too loud which makes it hard to chat.

We stopped by Bakudan because I've been dying to try this popular ramen spot, and I'm glad we did! When you walk in, the atmosphere is very cool, casual, and creative. I love the floral installments on the ceiling and all of the fun art on the walls.The staff was super friendly and catered to our big party with multiple kids - I know how challenging that can be!The starters we ordered were the gyoza and both wing flavors. The gyoza was so crispy and had delicious filling. The wings were probably my favorite part of the whole meal! The tebasaki wings were perfectly soy glazed, and the honey sriracha wings had the best balance of sweet and spicy. The texture was on point and cooked wonderfully. For my main, I had the garlic ramen, which was definitely garlicy - in a good way! I chose the bulgogi beef as my meat instead of the traditional pork and loved the combo. The ramen was solid, not the best I've had, but I would definitely eat there again. Next time, I want to try the bulgogi bowl!This place is worth a visit for sure, especially for those wings!

great food, fast delivery, never regret ordering from them. Fabulous ramen, fabulous octopus balls

Wow!! This is the best Ramen I've ever had in my life. And the service is amazing. Alejandra was on point with every recommendation that she made. And then the manager actually came over to welcome me since it was my first time at this location.. I would definitely be back when I'm in San Antonio!
