Just moved to Austin. Where's the best ramen?

ramen tatsuya and it's not close, imo
Good ramen, but not a good place for an introvert, in my experience. First is the interminable wait in line. If you survive that and place your order, seating is hell. If you are by yourself, you will be forced to sit at the bar so close to other patrons you are practically in their lap on a stool made to torture a monk. If you are worthy of a table seat by having friends, then you are in one of those fashionable metal seats invented by Torquemada’s welder buddies.
I’ll second that. Serious umami. Maybe it gets crowded, so go at an off hour. I go solo, no problemo.
Michi Ramen if you like things a bit non-traditional.
