About The Company
In fall 2012, Chef/Owner Tatsu Aikawa started Ramen Tatsu-Ya with Chef Takuya Matsumoto and younger brother Shion Aikawa. After spending some time at the Michelin-starred kaiseki/sushi bar Urasawa in Los Angeles, Tatsu decided to return to Austin in the pursuit of introducing authentic Japanese ramen to Texas. With the help of friends and family, Ramen Tatsu-Ya became a reality and soon after opening, the shop quickly became a local sensation boasting national accolades, including Bon Appétit’s “Top 50 Best Restaurants.”
The Tatsu-Ya Family currently has three Ramen Tatsu-Ya locations in Austin and one in Houston, as well as a new bar concept, Domo Alley-Gato Tatsu-Ya, which opened in Austin in 2018. We also opened Kemuri Tatsu-Ya in early 2017, a Texas izakaya that has received national recognition from The James Beard Foundation as well as the honor of being named one of the Top 10 Best New Restaurants in the U.S. by Food & Wine, Bon Appétit, GQ, and more.
