Daikoku - Spring

I tried the spicy pork tantan-men and gyoza at this restaurant, and both dishes were incredible! This is definitely the best ramen spot I have ever been to. I am looking forward to coming back again soon.

We visit this restaurant frequently, at least twice a month, and the food is consistently excellent. The service is also fantastic, with the staff always being friendly and accommodating. While the prices may seem high, rest assured that you will not leave hungry, as the portion sizes are generous. Our favorite dishes are the ramen bowls and the hirata buns, which are deliciously soft, pillowy, and full of flavor. They also offer a diverse selection of Japanese snacks for a fun dining experience.

This is the worst Japanese food I have ever eaten. I ordered four items and the only thing worth eating was the octopus balls. The cooks at this restaurant should seriously rethink their positions. There are plenty of other talented chefs in Houston who know how to cook. Disgusting.

Let me just start by saying I 've never been to a ramen place that I do not like. That being said, I was really excited to try this place because of all the good reviews on Google and Yelp.My buddy had the seafood ramen, and I had the spicy tantan men to start. My friend said his seafood ramen was O.K. best, and really only enjoyed the octopus. My tantan men was honestly inedible. I tried, I really tried to eat it but only got about three bites in before I started feeling nauseous. Completely confused, and slightly embarrassed I went up to the cashier/host and explained that I may have ordered something I didn 't like before that the dish just wasn 't made right. I asked if I could please maybe get a discount on a different menu item or a substitution. Instead of answering my question she just rang me up for the other dish I wanted to try. In total. I ended up paying about $30 for one very mediocre ramen that had discolored beef, and one completely inedible tan-tan men. ??As for the atmosphere, it is not very cozy, and almost seems like some kind of pizza joint. The place seems like it was just kind of thrown together. Also, despite the fact that I love country music, it was slightly off putting being in a ramen joint with Luke Combs playing. Overall the atmosphere was not terrible, just very odd.Personally, I would not recommend anybody to this restaurant that truly appreciates ramen and pho. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere slightly more tasteful and authentic.

We had a great time here and the ramen was better! The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful with the menu. Our group went before a show we had at the Pavilion. I had ordered a large ramen bowl to share with my sister; they offered to split it in two different bowls before serving which I thought was extremely thoughtful. I need to come back soon!
