Tatsu-Ya Restaurants operates a family of Japanese-inspired dining concepts in Texas, with a focus on ramen and izakaya experiences. The group began in 2012 when chef Tatsu Aikawa launched Ramen Tatsu-Ya with Chef Takuya Matsumoto and his younger brother Shion Aikawa after returning from Los Angeles, aiming to introduce authentic ramen to Texas. Its portfolio spans Ramen Tatsu-Ya locations in Austin and Houston, the Domo Alley-Gato Tatsu-Ya bar, Kemuri Tatsu-Ya (a Texas izakaya), and Tiki Tatsu-Ya, with national recognition from organizations such as the James Beard Foundation and major publications. 

Based in Austin, Texas, the group is a mid-sized restaurant operator with a multi-concept portfolio that has expanded over the years, including Kemuri Tatsu-Ya (opened early 2017) and Tiki Tatsu-Ya (opened 2021). In June 2025, the company announced a new Austin location, planned to be its eighth Texas site, scheduled to open in fall at 2416 Guadalupe St.
