Our East ATX shop turns six today! Keep reading for some insider facts about this 6th street spot👇 or check out this throwback piece from Eater Austin 🔗 bit.ly/eater-east-atx

6️⃣ Back in 2018, Tatsu hired a zen master and held a smudge ceremony before transforming the space.
6️⃣ To embrace 'wabi-sabi,' the appreciation of imperfections, the team covered up damaged parts of the floor with steel patches instead of reflooring.
6️⃣ The pyramid mural (and mascot) was created by artist Xavier Walkerz.
6️⃣ Domo Alley-Gato Tatsu-Ya transports you to the festive streets of Tokyo right next door (and you can order from the Ramen Tatsu-Ya kitchen till 10 p.m.)

P.S. Don't miss tonight's Domo / Jaicaranda (IG ) churro pop-up with Shion Aikawa, Sara Mardanbigi and Chef Edgar Rico starting at 4!

Life would be ruff without friends like these. ICYMI, dogs are radically welcome on the Domo Alley-Gato Tatsu-Ya patio 🐾

Hot Chx fans, there's a new chilled bowl in town starting July 1st (and some dope news!)

This one's got our twice-fried chicken karaage tossed in house-made hot dust, plus all the elements of our summer staple, Spicy Chilled.

Pork lovers, don't freak; you can still get it your way — and drum roll... 🥁 it's here to STAY ON THE MENU!

⚠️ Now you can slurp chilled noods with pirikara pork ALL YEAR LONG (cause this is Texas and it's hot as f*ck) but keep in mind, the Chx version'll fly the coop before long!

Where's your fave spot to slurp outside, and which bowl are you bringing?

The weather's getting hotter, but it's still 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 spring; take advantage of and get that (vitamin) D before Texas summer goes full tilt.

We've got a brand-new, ice-cold dessert, available at our Round Rock shop all summer long!

🍦Creamy Calpico USA soft serve is garnished with toasted, ground black sesame and fresh strawberries.

Pssst... Head to our Insta to enter our naming contest!

Some say ramen is the OG fast food 💨

The noods we serve with our tonkotsu are thin for a reason; not only does each slurp deliver the purr-fect amount of our well-balanced, 60-hour broth...

They're also quick to cook and easy to eat! Their roots lie in Fukuoka, Japan, where food stalls offered fishermen something fast and filling on their lunch break.

Noodle-heads who stay near Round Rock (and anyone else who likes free s**t) 📣 here's your reminder to come through every day this week at 2132 N Mays!

We know you caught the news that we're live and slurpin' at our seventh ramen shop, and we don't want you to miss all the freebies, raffles and more happening NOW to celebrate opening week (dine-in only, while supplies last).

Check our stories daily to see what's up, or stop by the new shop anytime this month to enter to win a YEAR'S WORTH OF RAMEN!

The chilled bowl is back.

With summer-worthy toppings like sweet tomatoes and crisp cucumbers in a citrus-soy dressing, this dish has all the elements of a salad, BUT WE SWEAR IT'S NOT👇

🧊 Cool noods and spicy pirikara pork make sure you're fully fueled
🌶️ Chili oil and a swipe of karashi mustard add that final kick of signature Tatsu-Ya flavor

It's not a salad, okay (but it might hit just right if you're craving one).

One thing you can always count on for comfort is our rich, creamy tonkotsu broth; it's kind of what we're known for.

We've purr-fected our own recipe with 60 hours of pork-bone simmering and a ton of flavor, but legend has it we've got the ramen gods to thank for the process.

Story goes Tokio Miyamoto came up with the original recipe in 1937, but it didn't become the silky, flavor-packed broth we know and love until 10 years later, when Katsumi Sugino left a pot on the stove for too long 🔥

Here's to happy mishaps!

EVERYBODY CHILL! Spicy Chilled is headed back to shops on May 20, juuust in time to cool you down while the Texas heat goes full-throttle 🔥🧊

A limited-time slurp sesh that's more refreshing than rich, this dish offers chilled noods tossed in a tangy citrus-soy dressing, topped with fresh, cool cucumbers, summer tomatoes and spicy pirikara pork.

A drizzle of chili oil and a smooth swipe of karashi mustard add an extra kick to this summer staple.

Way-past-ready for RTY Round Rock?! We're making big moves over here (literally) with signage almost as tall as you (swipe for the finished product).
