Dragon Warrior Ramen Shop - McAllen

While ordering, I felt like they were only anticipating the items I had initially mentioned. Since it was my first visit, especially with their ordering system, I found that a bit confusing. After I paid, I was shown to a table. While waiting, I noticed there was a 4% fee for non-cash transactions, which seemed odd in the post-COVID world. I would recommend they consider a better POS system, but that was just a minor inconvenience. My ramen arrived about five minutes before the bao buns, which several other diners have mentioned previously. However, the food itself was genuinely good. The ramen had a nice spicy flavor, and the pork belly buns were incredibly satisfying. Overall, I found the meal to be filling and delicious!

The ramen was fantastic, but I had three main issues. First, you have to pay before you eat, which I find a bit unusual. I usually tip based on service, and I left an 18% tip, which amounted to $27.36 for just ramen and edamame. They also assumed I wanted water without asking. Second, the edamame arrived after the ramen, which seemed to be the case for all the appetizers. So, I recommend coming here just for the ramen; it was truly amazing. However, the delayed spicy edamame left me feeling a bit salty, which is why I'm only giving it one star.

I'm extremely particular about food due to my allergies, but the staff here were incredibly accommodating. My tonkatsu was absolutely delicious—I finished it in no time! The restaurant is conveniently located near a college, making it perfect for people my age looking for a tasty, quick meal. Plus, everyone there is really friendly! Dietary restrictions: Mushrooms.

Loved the spicy ramen , waiter and waitress was super friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere! Highly recommended.Food: 5/5

I got the vegan ramen bowl and was amazed, it's so good it deserves its own cult, the chef whoever he may be should be considered a god emporer and and immortalized in history. Besides the food being great I really enjoyed the style of the restaurant, it really matches the vibe of a japanese ramen shop and the music is great, just one banger after another, 11/10 would come again. Servers are great, nothing but friendliness and smiles. It's nothing but love. The food is all made from scratch and as someone who has digestive problems it was such a refreshing experience to be able to enjoy something so delicious without suffering for it.Vegetarian options: The vegan bowl, edamame, and spicy edamame are great. Lots of umami, highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: If you have acid reflux you should be able to eat this food without issue.
