Even though Houstonians are obsessed with pho, ramen has a major foothold in Space City. Whether it’s the creamy broth, springy noodles, or endlessly-creative takes on this classic Japanese dish, Houston boasts many excellent bowls of noodles and broth.
In search of a classic bowl of tonkotsu, vegan and vegetarian options, or something a little more innovative? Houston's ramen scene has it, and with all the offerings, it’s hard to choose just one.
