Exciting New Flavor in College Station: Kyuramen Opens Its Doors!
Hey there, College Station! If you’ve been searching for that perfect spot to dive into a steaming bowl of ramen, you’re in luck! Kyuramen, the popular New York-based Japanese noodle shop, has just opened its third location right in your backyard at 713 University Dr.. Talk about a delicious addition to the neighborhood!
What to Expect!
Curious minds (and hungry bellies) at Texas A&M now have the opportunity to experience the cozy ambiance of Kyuramen, where enjoying a hot meal goes hand in hand with raising your Instagram game. Picture this: you’re nestled in a uniquely designed booth bordered by a honeycomb wall, and aromas of flavorful ramen fill the air. Pretty dreamy, right?
According to the restaurant’s recent announcement, its location is super convenient, sitting mere moments away from A&M’s main campus, Blinn College, and various hotels. This means both locals and visitors can quickly satisfy their cravings without traveling far. Kyuramen might just become a staple spot for college students, seasoned professionals, and families alike!
Ramen Perfection Awaits
Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the ramen! When I visited the original Kyuramen in Asiatown, I was blown away by the menu, which features not one, not two, but three distinct styles. You can choose from the rich Kyushu Shio Style from South Japan, the savory Tokyo Shouyu Style from Central Japan, or the hearty Hokkaido Miso Style. It’s like a mini-world tour for your taste buds!
And don’t miss out on the omurice. If you haven’t heard of this dish before, it’s a flavor bomb! Imagine a delicately cooked omelet gently placed on a well-seasoned bed of fried rice, all drizzled with a yummy demi-glace. This isn’t your average meal; it’s what I like to call a food experience!
The Vibe You Can’t Resist
But it’s not just about the food at Kyuramen — it’s the whole vibe of the place that really draws you in. The interior is like stepping into a Japanese village with its bright wood paneling, charming paper booths, and even a wishing tree that hangs proudly over the main area. This magical setting makes dining here feel like a special occasion every time!
The standout feature, though, has to be those signature honeycomb booths. These adorable hive-like seating areas are spread across multiple levels, and they’re perfect for cozy meals with friends or even making new ones. Just imagine snapping that Artsy Instagram pic while you slurp noodles. #RamenGoals!
Plan Your Visit!
Given all the buzz surrounding Kyuramen, you may want to plan your visit wisely. When they opened in Houston, wait times soared up to three hours! So, timing is everything. Kyuramen is open Sunday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. and Friday to Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.. Showing up early might just save your taste buds from a long wait.
With its delicious menu options and charming atmosphere, it’s easy to see why Kyuramen is quickly becoming a go-to eatery in College Station. Whether you’re a student, a local resident, or just passing through, treating yourself to a bowl of their mouthwatering ramen is a must. Can’t wait to see you all soup-ing it up!
