January 20, 20196 yr Not sure exactly what you are looking for but Ten In Sylvan Thirty kicks ass. It’s the chef of Tei An creating a Tokyo like ramen experience. Stand up only; no frills but damn it’s good.
January 22, 20196 yr Jinya Ramen is a pretty solid chain that is supposed to be opening a Deep Ellum location soon. Looks to be a block from Pecan Lodge. I recently ate at a Houston location and it was excellent.
January 22, 20196 yr Jinya isn’t excellent. Fourth best in houston and I’ve only been to four places. Tatsuya has a good broth but their chashu is just too hard. Hopefully Dallas gets some good ramen Edited January 23, 20196 yr by PRONG HORN
January 23, 20196 yr I was taken there by an Asian friend who is local to Houston and he loved it also. The place was packed and apparently is most of the time. For comparison purposes, i recently ate at a Michelin starred ramen joint in Tokyo, so I’m not completely clueless on ramen. Not doubting there are better places, but I stand by my review that the food was really good, and obviously I’m not alone in that assessment.
January 23, 20196 yr Fwiw jinya ramen isn't thought highly of amongst the Asian population.I will take your word for it despite it being packed with Asians and my Asian friend suggesting the place.

January 23, 20196 yr This may be helpful: Guide to DFW Ramen Seems like Ramin is the new poke. Lucia sous chef Justin Holt has been doing ramen pop ups for the last couple of years. He is going full time with a brick & mortar ramen and yakatori place in Bishop Arts: Salaryman. Should be open soon.
July 15, 20232 yr So ever since Santouka in Plano closed during the pandemic, there hasn't been a ramen place here in DFW that I thought was any good. Nothing compared to the places in Cali that I used to frequent when I lived over there. Tried a new place in the old k-town for lunch today. Pretty damn impressed. I just hope they can stick around as the food court was pretty dead and that market's days may be numbered with a new H-Mart opening up in that area in the future.
August 4, 20232 yr Our go to place for Ramen. Excellent every time we go. https://www.dallasobserver.com/restaurants/nikugen-steak-and-ramen-houses-creamy-udon-dishes-will-warm-you-13554664

Well fuck me, had no idea that the guy who opened Salaryman was diagnosed with leukemia and they were forced to shutter the restaurant. https://www.salarymanoakcliff.com/ https://www.gofundme.com/f/helping-heal-justin-holt?fbclid=IwAR1-6jdadl_y8mi21_C3kgtjzA6CHMhZk7iy5320zqF7LgS4a9joCmlBNks
