Agu Ramen has built a reputation on the island — as well as its seven Texas locations — for its eclectic toppings.
Craving cilantro or corn with your noodles? Those are options.
You can even get your ramen with Parmesan cheese or garlic butter or both, it’s called the “Hot Mess.” Agu’s ramen bowls are packed with flavor — even if your bowl isn’t topped with shredded cheese — from the golden, milky tonkotsu to the refreshing, slightly spicy yuzu jidori, made with yuzu pepper and chicken char siu.
You can even control the spice level of your bowl, from 1 to WTF (a habanero pepper sauce).
Save room for some pupu, or appetizers, too, including the crispy karaage.
