Perfectly prepared ramen.
Although slightly pricier, you should try the tan tan tonkotsu. Silky broth with tasty hand crafted noodles. The char siu is sliced thick and adds a great compliment to the bowl.
Very high marks on the broth and Iidako. The wait staff was not well trained, the wait time for our food to show after ordering was bordering on absurd and the noodles were nothing special. That said the broth is very balanced and absolutely divine. A cut above other Houston ramen joints which I have visited. In spite of the poor marks, the broth alone was good enough for me to return later that same week with more co-workers. All of whom enjoyed the food while questioning the poor and slow service. However I must note that the noodles were much better upon the second visit. This place could be a big hit if they clean up the service and kitchen times. I plan on returning later this month with out of town family.

Have I just been on a ramen craze, or has Houston been trending with new ramen spots?! It might be a little bit of both, but I ain't mad at it (especially with this cold weather coming through). Agu Ramen recently opened its doors (3 of them) in Houston, so I stopped by the closest one to my area in the Energy Corridor.
I went to eat with a group of 6, and easily found a table around 11:30A on a Saturday. The space is filled with booths, community low bars (similar to Jinya), and tables. There are industrial style light fixtures hanging with exposed wires and large bulbs, and gray washed wood accents throughout the restaurant. It's kid friendly, but questionable for a large stroller to be pushed through.
The staff was friendly, and would come by to refil waters, or remove any lingering plates. My only wishes were that the staff had more personal recommendations, and the gyoza available for order (since that's what my daughter wanted). Overall it was a good experience and I truly enjoyed their ramen!
Some of my favorites: Karaage, Spicy Kotteri
The Shio Tonkotksu is very good but I could a little bit more noodle. Portion is rather small for a hungry adult man.
Dont bother trying their more expensive specialty dishes. No bueno. Just stick with the you-cant-go-wrong tonkotsu.
The food and staff were absolutely wonderful. I will definitely come back again. I highly recommend Agu Ramen
I had the spicy Kotteri level 2. It was delicious, definitely on the same level as Tiger Den. I will definitely be back!
Ahi tuna poke is unbelievably delicious! My server Keegan, top notch, excellent server. I highly recommend this location.
Came for lunch with my wife, and we ordeded the Shio and Hakata ramen. It was delicious!
Great place and ramen is amazing. Tiger Den has some competition
Nice ambience. Bit pricey but ramen was great.
The black garlic parmesan "hot mess" ramen is definitely worth a try.
Really good Ramen! Great friendly service
Good food, good service, small portion
Much better Tonkotsu than Tiger Den
Excellent food, nice ambient.
