Authentic Japanese food and hot stone bowls at Kazzan Ramen in Houston

HOUSTON - Kazzan, meaning "volcano," is a new style of ramen with thick noodles and vegetables, served in a 350-degrees Celsius hot stone bowl, topped off with the hot soup and poured in a cylindrical top at the table. It causes the steam to rise from the lid resembling a volcanic eruption.

Diners can choose their ramen flavor. Kazzan offers signature flavors such as Shio, Shoyu, Karamiso, Curry, and Veggie Tantan.

But as Katie Stone discovers, Kazan Ramen isn't all about noodles and broth, they also serve other types of authentic Japanese cuisine, including rice bowls, sides, vegetarian offerings and desserts.

Located in the Heights at 191 Heights Boulevard (at Washington), the restaurant and cocktail bar is open Monday-Thursday 11 a.m.-11 p.m., Friday-Saturday 11 a.m.- midnight and Sunday from 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
