Ramen once had a reputation as cheap fast food for thrifty college students, but in recent years the dish has undergone a bit of a renaissance as inventive restaurants have done their part to present ramen in new varieties with fresh ingredients. Sure, the noodles of old remain — although now they're typically made with more care, served in a hearty broth made from scratch. However, they're now paired with fresh vegetables, seasoned proteins, and much more.
The area near Elan East offers a few places to enjoy this renewed version of ramen, including Austin's Daruma Ramen. This restaurant serves lunch and dinner daily, offering ramen dishes like Shio Ramen with soft-boiled egg, boy choy, seaweed, and more, and Miso Ramen with shredded chicken, bean sprouts, soft-boiled egg, and scallions. Vegetarians and vegans will find a few tasty options here, like a Veggie Ramen made with veggie broth. The stock's made from whole chicken broth.
