These are the questions that come up most often about visiting Bakudan Ramen — locations, hours, ordering, and the menu. Everything below is answered directly, without padding.

A Note on What's Not Covered Here

This FAQ sticks to what's verified and current: locations, hours, ordering, and menu basics. If you have a question about something more specific — gift cards, catering, or dietary restrictions beyond what's listed on the vegetarian and kids' menu items — the most reliable answer is to call your nearest location directly, since that's not something covered in general marketing content.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Bakudan Ramen locations are there?

Three, all in San Antonio: Bandera Road, Stone Oak, and La Cantera.

What are Bakudan Ramen's hours?

Monday–Thursday 11:00 AM–8:30 PM, Friday–Saturday 11:00 AM–9:00 PM, and Sunday 11:00 AM–8:00 PM, the same at all three locations.
