Ramen Tatsu-Ya

In no surprise, Austin chefs/DJs Tatsu Aikawa and Takuya Matsumoto got a lot of love from our readers. Revered for their tonkotsu broth, Ramen Tatsu-Ya includes vegan options as well as a take on traditional Tokyo-style chicken broth. Pro tip: Order extra noodles to sop up every last drop of leftover broth.
