The ramen that changed Austin's dining scene, Ramen Tatsu-ya serves rich, deeply developed tonkotsu broth that rivals what you'd find in Japan. The Tonkotsu Ramen with extra chashu pork and a soft egg is the move, and the gyoza are excellent starters. Expect a wait — they don't take reservations — but the line moves and the experience is worth every minute.
