I used to work next door at southside flying pizza and would trade food with these guys all the time. They are insanely amazing. Miss their bowls. They constantly have a line around the block.
I used to live in Japan. I currently live right outside NYC and I absolutely agree that Tatsuya Ramen in Austin is the best I've had in America. Please open a spot up here...
Went to this Ramen place last time I was in Austin, and can confirm - it was delicious. Had to wait like 15-20 minutes, but that's pretty normal for Austin these days at the popular spots.
EASILY the best ramen in Texas. I used to travel to Austin JUST to eat here. They got one in Houston now however I STILL travel to Austin for Kemuri-Tatsu-Ya
@David Nope, it actually started from people suddenly thinking that eating 6 meals a day with snacks and dessert was healthy. Aaaaaand that has continued to the present day.
I knew I wasn’t crazy. Ever since I tried it back years ago I felt like the quality was one of a kind. I’ve had ramen all over and their tonkotso broth is top tier.
First had ramen at this place in 2019 and it’s the best ramen I’ve had in Texas by far. I live in Fort Worth and anytime I make a trip to Austin, this place is always on the list. Covid has paused the dine-in experience but the take out is just as good! Can’t wait for the day that I can go back and wait in that long and we’ll deserved line out the door while enjoying a Heabie jeebie ( did I spell that right?). Glad this vice video popped up on my feed.
I’ve had Tatsuya plenty of times and there are other good ramen places as well besides this. Agu Ramen in Houston uses fresh BBQ’d Pork. And Jinya Ramen is always great as well with different condiment options and sides.
@@youaremeish Tamashi is good as well. Honestly there are so many ramen places here in Houston. There’s another place called Iza Robata that had opened up down the road from me and the owner came from Japan and uses his own recipes for the ramen itself 🍜
There should be ramen shops everywhere in America. It should be here already. Its 2021 now and we don't have them in Cali that I know of. Come on people lets get some in Cali and all over America already damn it.
I mean, kinda checks out that they find a Texas ramen place to be pretty good. There's lots of Japanese and Korean influence here, I swear every shopping center has three shops, plenty of "mom and pop" Asian restaurants, and there's a goodly few Japanese and Korean markets around. We're lost in the cultural sauce
I eat at one of them when I came back to spend time with my family and I got my liking it and I truly loved the spicy Miso can’t wait to eat there again
Texas has some of the best Asian food in the world believe it or not. Texas in general is becoming super diverse and like the new California or New York due to the job opportunities and better living standards. Amazing food is just a byproduct of that.
I always go to the South Lamar location and always get the Mi-So-Not with a yuzu kosho bomb and extra noodles. Coming from NYC I’ve never had a better tasting ramen place so that’s saying something.
The one on east 6th is fun too because you can bar hop afterwards. A few years ago in NYC I went to an awesome izakaya spot, I need to find something like that here
I remember the day the grand opening of the first location happened i had tried it with my best friends and till this day when we say lets get ramen, bet your ass we going to the best ramen in America RAMEN TATSUYA 😋
Eric Me cuz this video was released many years ago on Munchies (US Vice’s food channel) but now it’s being put on Vice Asia since it’s regarding Asian food
This is hands-down our favorite place to eat in the United States we are in the military and currently serving in Germany however when we go back to the states to visit we always make a trip to our RAMEN house
For the record, tatsu-ya is not fucking ramen, its garlic broth soup... It's not bad, it's just not ramen... Really expensive too. $20+ for a bowl with regular fixins.
I remember eating here for my 21st birthday a few years ago and I ordered the miso hot. It was good but definitely average at best. And far from the best ramen in America lol. I only went there bc of the hype at the time lmao. Really it’s the small secretive shops you _don’t_ hear about that are divine.
That title is a big claim. Went to Tatsu-ya only once, I liked it but I’ve definitely had better tonkotsu ramen in NYC (btw I’m from Texas so it hurts to say that). I’d also argue there is better ramen in/near LA as well.
I took my Asian mom here and she didn't like it. I didn't care much for it either maybe cause it was hyped so much. Maybe I ordered the wrong Ramen. I don't remember what I ordered.
These ramen places in the US are ridiculously expensive. Ramen in Asia are like fast food places for the average guy and priced accordingly; not like these high price places in the US that serves little tiny servings. You all are getting ripped off while the owners are laughing all the way to their bank.
I lived in Austin for 3 years. I can tell you now, save your money. It’s decent for sure, but the past few times I had their ramen before moving, it was honestly tasteless and felt entirely not worth the money (13+ dollars a bowl). I know I seem like a hater, but there are so many places not listed on here that deserve so much more attention in Austin. There are like 3 or 4 companies that own some of the largest and “best” restaurants in Austin, and for the most part they’re all way overpriced and overshadow the better/smaller spots.
Kevin Luu Casita Nicole’s - amazing machetes and aguafrescas, Las Trancas - best tacos, Tan My - Best Pho in Austin, Sour Sop/St. Elmo Brewing - Amazing food overall and some of the best beer in Austin. Check them out if you can.
Couldn’t agree with you more! Austin just doesn’t really have good ramen. Best ramen i’ve ever had was in New York, however Ramen Tatsu-Ya isn’t terrible. Just not insanely good
KaiTheBoi I was probably being too harsh with some of my criticism of Ramen-Tatsuya, I thank you for making me aware of that. To be fair I did catch food poisoning from it about a week before making this comment, so I’m sure that lead to some bias on my end. I’m moving back to Austin in November and I’m stoked to check out some of the other up and coming places that have popped up since I left. Also thanks for the friendly comment!
RAMEN and PHO are the KING AND QUEEN of ALL styles of noodles, and that is including what you want to call spaghetti, if you want to make it sound like it has its own origin unconnected to the NOODLES for your ego, that would be okay. Life's too short and tasteless to fight over word description.
Why does it have subtitles? They're English is perfect, it is really annoying; if I wanted to see the subtitle I would have select the "subtitle/caption" option on the video. あなたをファック

Is it just me or does eating good food make you forget all the shit problems we facing in the world?
I truly believe and always, real Ramen has the power to stop all wars and hatred. lol
Same bro.same!
A good food can sooth your heart not fix your problems
Like not having onions, cheese and a steak at 3 am becouse store does not open yet?

You earned a like for your screen name 😂😂 I think I found the fellow Texan
I live in Colorado and visited Ramen Tatsuya in Austin a couple years ago. To this day, I believe they have the best curry ramen in the country!
I love me some miso ramen! The ultimate I ever had was in Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan. Choo oishi katta desu nee!
I'm only 38 and still... one evening of doing this would probably put me in intensive care. I have no idea how & why they do this.
I just turned 39 but I USED to do this. That’s a younger mans game. I can still hang but gotta call it at midnight. Father Time is undefeated.
Right? And no vegetables
they clearly dobt do all of that in one day dude power of editing lol
How did they eat like 10 meals in one evening?
Drunk people always eat more and drunken chefs have been training their whole lives for it lol
Whenever I watch these episodes, I realise the chef's tend to be obese
They don't show how long they wait in line between restaurants
Smart! Vice just didn't roll up unannounced, the chefs decided to make it about their buddies as well, super cool!
This party was sick, this is what fun looks like to me. But i wonder how much was spent that day, 10K-ish?
i love the 3 ninjas ref "rocky loves emily" !
"this is like papa John's extreme."
GET OUT!!
Wow 6:20 totally had a 3 ninjas flashback from when I was a child watching that movie lol shout out to those who got that quote he said.
so wait, do these people just cook and eat for a living? I'm in the wrong field...
I've eaten at Ramen Tatsu-Yu, it exceeded expectations.
First had ramen at this place in 2019 and it’s the best ramen I’ve had in Texas by far. I live in Fort Worth and anytime I make a trip to Austin, this place is always on the list.

Love Tatsu-ya! Didn't know it was the best ramen in America but I'm not surprised. The yuzu kosho bomb really sets it off
What can I say? The lone star always Shone brightest.
I’ve had Tatsuya plenty of times and there are other good ramen places as well besides this. Agu Ramen in Houston uses fresh BBQ’d Pork. And Jinya Ramen is always great as well with different condiment options and sides.
I go to tatsuya often too but jinya definitely amazing as well
Jinya is the worst IMO. Tamashi Ramen in Houston is amazing.
@@youaremeish Tamashi is good as well. Honestly there are so many ramen places here in Houston. There’s another place called Iza Robata that had opened up down the road from me and the owner came from Japan and uses his own recipes for the ramen itself 🍜
I actually prefer tamashi over tatsuya. I do like the pork better at tatsuya tho.
Dallas is a different level though.
There should be ramen shops everywhere in America. It should be here already. Its 2021 now and we don't have them in Cali that I know of. Come on people lets get some in Cali and all over America already damn it.
That brisket tsukemen broth looked sounds and looks genius!

Watching during covid and I'm so jealous.
These guys are so chill, I love them
I have about 1% of these guys energy. 1 dinner and 1 bar and I'm done for the night.
I went to the restaurant a couple days ago. The best! Very busy but worth the wait!
Anime lovers everywhere, we have to visit this shop
Lol why?

They seem like good people! Inspired

Dayum I miss the restaurant scene! Hard work but good food
ramen tatsu-ya 🔥🔥.. Well worth the wait
I remember the day the grand opening of the first location happened i had tried it with my best friends and till this day when we say lets get ramen, bet your ass we going to the best ramen in America RAMEN TATSUYA 😋
I was full after watching them eat at the first place
I just realized my friends suck lol after watching this
I live in Houston so jinya ramen is the next best thing for me👌🏽
Come on. There's Ramen Bar Ichi. There's Samurai Noodle. That's two right there besides Jinya. I'm not complaining about Jinya. I like them too.
@@pherron7471 i live on the east side of houston so im fine with jinya
Tatsuya has a htown location!

Yessssssssssssss I'm going today to this restaurant to get some!!!!
Been there many times. It's incredible.
Best ramen in the us for sure. Wish they'd come to Dallas so bad!!!!

Been before many times, can confirm 😋😋😋 🍜
Amazing ! Going to Austin for this food, first chance I get !
Y’all need to branch out from Austin, every time y’all mention Texas it’s always Austin. You know Texas is a lot more then Austin
They're in houston
Austin, Dallas, and Houston that's it. The rest is pretty much cow shit.
@Ungaioo we don't have a nation language idiot it's not our language idiot
This is hands-down our favorite place to eat in the United States we are in the military and currently serving in Germany however when we go back to the states to visit we always make a trip to our RAMEN house
I just hope no one vandalizes this place
I wish I could live like this
Restaurant industry always C.D.S.
Cook. Drink. Smoke.
No one is going to ask for the shot recipe? @ Vice Asia?????
That is a principle of food
For the record, tatsu-ya is not fucking ramen, its garlic broth soup... It's not bad, it's just not ramen... Really expensive too. $20+ for a bowl with regular fixins.

I'd fly back to Austin just for another bowl
Now that’s what I call a great night in Austin, Texas. 😎
Stop charging me for hot sauce!
I thought this was going to be about ramen, but then it became an after hours restaurant and bar crawl in Austin for most of the video.
It defeat the cheap ramen with delicious broth!

Kinda ridiculous because Houston has an enormous Vietnamese population and there are thousands of hotpot style restaurants.
I took my Asian mom here and she didn't like it. I didn't care much for it either maybe cause it was hyped so much. Maybe I ordered the wrong Ramen. I don't remember what I ordered.
I love how Shion kinda sounds like Justin Roiland 😄😄😁
yes this place is great
I wanna be there. Great atmos
Best time u eat ramen after hangover ahaha
I went there recently. My experience in that Ramen place is very underwhelming.
Doesn't seem like a sustainable lifestyle but looks like plenty of fun
I ate here today, the Houston location.
