Daruma Ramen

This was my original review for this place. “This place was really good. The place was cozy. The drinks and food were served promptly. Will definitely come back again.” This is the best ramen ever! It’s so sad to see you closed down due to COVID, but you have a very valid and strong decision to do so. Please let us know if you do relocate once it is safe to do so. I would love to continue supporting you guys. You will be greatly missed! 😭

We were passing through Austin and had a craving for a snack so had to stop for the best "ume onigiri" in town! We tried calling in a "to go" order but was told we had to order when we got to Daruma. There was an empty parking spot right in front of the door so it was meant to be! We got 3 orders to go - so delicious!

Really enjoyed this spot! I didn’t tell my husband that the broths were all chicken based here (except for the vegan one), because as a traditional pork broth person, I thought he wouldn’t agree to come. We sat at the bar and I had the Shoyu while he had the Shio. We both agreed that we liked mine a bit better but they were both great. What really stole the show though was the fried chicken appetizer. Perfectly battered with a great little sauce for dipping. Another highlight was the Kyoto Yuzu beer. It’s not cheap ($9), but worth it! Also, if you go anytime soon ask for the pumpkin ice cream. Not sure how often they switch out flavors, but this is no “basic b” pumpkin; it’s made with Japanese pumpkin and it’s downright amazing. This place is a must try!

No complaints. Great value. Friendly staff. Laid back environment. I got the Shio Ramen. The broth was so yummy. I asked for some kick and it was very...kicky. 😁 I also got the Shumai, dumplings with shrimp and pork. They had onions in them so I didn’t like but they were nice about my pickiness. I recommend.

First time going there during RTX at the convention center. Me and my friends came in and place our name for the wait. It took about 10-15 minutes so not long at all. Place smelled great. I ordered the Shio and it was wonderful. Dont remember what my friends ordered but they really enjoyed there's. If I'm ever in Austin again I will be stopping in for some more.

Their ramen is very tasty, soup is full of flavors but not salty, and their noodle is cooked to the perfect softness. The restaurant is fairly small, so might need to wait in line when it's busy. Ordered their karage as well, it's a little too crispy outside, but the chicken is very juicy. PS. 5:30pm to 7:00pm Monday to Friday is their happy hour, all sides are $1.00 off.

Delicious 😋 noodles 🍜 for a great price. Thoroughly impressed with the food 🥘 here. They sell beer 🍺! It’s a small intimate place! The servers were nice 👍🏻. I’m glad the other options nearby happened to be close! My favorite spot to eat near the dirty 6th! Too bad the close before the street party does!
