I was very skeptical at first as I was very hesitant about trying new things, especially if I didn't end up liking the dish. BUT I WAS BLOWN AWAY, I specifically had the dragon warrior ramen dish, and IT WAS FREAKIN DELICIOUS. It was as if the food gods had blessed the dish with glowing warmth, favor, savoriness, and texture. I don't know how to use chopsticks BUT I MADE IT WORK! The broth down to the ingredients and noodles was downright perfect especially during chilly weather as well! in other words 10000/10 Also our waitress Miss Karen was very nice, friendly and attentive.
Oh my gosh this place was SO GOOD. I was blown away! Really! I grew up in the valley and have moved and lived outside of it for about 10 years, coming back to visit every so often. Never have I tried such a good place like this in the valley. So freaking good! The staff was helpful and super friendly and welcoming. We went during the day on a weekday and they don't do table service at that time, but on the weekends I believe they do. Well, I had their vanilla tea and IT WAS SO GOOOOOD. Everything they make here is fresh, no preservatives and farm to table, which was so refreshing to hear that, as I've never had a farm to table experience in the valley before. We had their brussel sprouts side dish and that was phenomenal! My friend ordered some ramen, I believe it was the duck ramen, and I had the pork bao buns. THESE WERE AMAZING! I wish I could go back for more! My friend really enjoyed his ramen. Great experience and I will be back the next time I'm back down visiting.
It was a cool small place. the food surprised me The broth flavor was delicious. Loved the pork belly buns were really good. Server was very attentive and helpful.
Dragon Warrior has the most delicious ramen in the RGV. The appetizers are amazing, and my go to plate (the Spicy Warrior), is to die for. So far, everyone I have recommended this place to has had the same opinion. The only downside of this place is their frequent relocation. Their current location, since I've known them, must be their 3rd location. Another downside are their chairs, very uncomfortable wooden boxes. If you can see past these two cons, you will be able to enjoy their delicious house made ramen
This place was amazing the food was great loved every bite. I have to say my wife agreed as well if you haven't tried it please do. I highly recommend the dessert as well the pictures speak fo themselves. The person that waited on us was super awesome made some great recommendation s as well. The environment here is really kick back it's relaxed and feel s welcoming.
My first time ever and I truly enjoyed all I ordered, I ordered the bao buns and the Tonkotsu everything was delicious. I liked the small and dark setting and the customer service was great. Will definitely be coming back again to try the spicy warrior next time.
They Ramen is delicious. I tried 3 different one but my favorite was the spicy Warrior. It has pork and has a kick. Great flavors in the food was super hot. Great customer service and chill atmosphere. I'll definitely be back with my daughters.
