Absolute best ramen in SA. From the dumplings to the bao buns all of it was delicious. This was always the spot for my wife and I to take people who were visiting. So sad to see this place goes but will always have the memories from here.

Yesterday; Went to this place and ordered 4 pulled pork bao and got two orders of red miso ramen with me and my partner. Food and service was great. And if you are reading this owner, I wish you well on everything in good health and happiness out there.

Absolutely loved this ramen spot! The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and every bite felt comforting and fresh. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was cozy. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to again and again! 100/10 🍜✨

This place was great!! The food was really good, the employees were nice, and the music was pretty cool. The prices on the menu were a little confusing though (dollar signs would help).

Let’s take this back to April 2019, when we stumbled upon this newly opened shop. The owner Chef Mike took his time to explain the menu and go over alternative options for our 3 year old. Fast forward to 2025, it remains our favorite noodle shop in all of Texas. I know pretty bold statement, but my husband and I have tried many shops and have been disappointed by lack of flavor, atmosphere, attentiveness and quality of their noods and meats. Here I have watched how Chef Mike takes his craft very seriously- it’s respectable knowing that he cares about the quality of his food and how it is being served/presented. I’ve been to places that still serve food that should be trashed. He has always found ways to elevate his dishes all while using high quality ingredients. I truly don’t know where I will find another Hakata Ramen (my favorite ramen on the menu) like his. Aside from the food, the atmosphere is comfortable, with different options for seating and an arcade section that has always made our kids happy after dinner. I cannot recommend noodle tree enough. I have brought friends, family, and co workers to this establishment and they have all left extremely satisfied and return on their own with additional company. It’s like a chain reaction and I love knowing Chef Mike and his dishes have left a great impression on them. I think the best thing about this place aside from the food is knowing that the owner takes so much pride in his establishment that he will greet his tables, take orders, serve, and ensure that they have had a good experience. I hope that whoever comes across this review is convinced to try this place out. 😊 Also edited to add: if you’re new and don’t know what to try, get the Hakata ramen with kick back sauce.

If I could give zero stars, I would. The manager here treats his only server in a way that’s honestly unbelievable. Instead of appreciating the fact that he’s running the entire front of house by himself, he talks down to him, snaps at him over things that aren’t his fault, and creates an environment that feels hostile and exhausting to watch — let alone work in. All of that just to find out he’s a new guy too. This isn’t the first time other people witness it too. maybe you’d have more help if you weren’t a jerk. It’s stressful for you but imagine how much stressful it is to the new hire.

This was the first time visiting Noodle Tree. We received great service from Taylor. She recommended the birria bao. These were excellent. We were informed that customers complain when they run out. We see why; they were fluffy kind of like a pork quesadilla. Make sure to dip in the broth. The ramen was very filling. We had the spicy kimchi ramen. Great taste. I ordered mine without scallions. Make sure to park in the garage in the back. The first floor is marked for retail. We had made a reservation but didn't need it. Try it you'll like it!

My friend & I shared the spicy kimchi ramen - a bit expensive for the lack of meat/protein you get but the flavor packed a punch and the noodles had a nice bite! Enjoyed the kimchi add-in as in the name. We came pretty late, around 9:30 pm, but they still allowed us and other people in which was nice. Service was prompt.

Have been pretty happy with the food I’ve had here so far (the birria bao, the tofu, and the kimchi ramen). The ramen was good, though the had to make a substitution of the purple garlic cabbage for corn because they were out. The pork chashu was juicy and flavorful, though it didn’t have what I would consider a more traditional flavor profile and was more reminiscent of like a good pulled pork.
Overall, I’d say this ramen is a solid option if you’re in the area. Better than bakudan, imo, but I still prefer Jinya as my favorite ramen spot in San Antonio.
