    I've eaten inside before but this time I did take away. It was so tasty and everything was packaged so nicely. Just as tasty as sitting down at the restaurant. It's lovely I can order something here safely with my shellfish and seafood allergy and not have to worry. Thank you!

    Loved, loved, loved this place! From the moment you enter with the authentic Kon'nichiwa salutations to the moment you leave and all the delicious bites of food in between. It's clear the menu has been well-thought, the dishes reasonably priced, and the staff trained to maintain a level of excellence. This place took me back to eating ramen in Japan! Definitely recommend for authentic, delicious food!

    Sometimes you just have to take yourself on a date and eat the things you love most. Tamashii Ramen is by far my favorite Ramen in the City. Always delicious and you can’t go wrong with the Garlic fried rice! Wash it down with some sake while enjoying the new fall weather and you have got yourself a pampered person! Enjoy!

    Small dining room and wait times goes up FAST. Can’t check in online or via phone, so must show up and be prepared to wait. Once seated had a wonderful experience. Waiter was very helpful for several of us first timers. Ramen had wonderful flavor, but honestly the Garlic Fried Rice was the star of the show - sharing it as an appetizer with the table worked perfectly for us. Will be visiting again!

    Arrived a little before 3pm and was seated right away. Hostess was very nice and polite. Server was also very nice and informative. Food did not take long at all to come out and it was as good as everyone made it out to be and I'm glad we were able to go. We had the buttered corn miss (regular and spicy) w/extra braised pork. We added egg and mushroom but did not receive the mushroom but it was delicious regardless. We also ordered the potstickers and the garlic fried rice. It was well worth $60! Even so, we ordered fried rice to go. It's small inside but cozy and quaint. I will definitely go back! We wanted to try the ice cream, but we were full and satisfied already so maybe next time. Yummy yummy in our tummy!!😋

    Gyzoa was fabulous. Garlic Fried was phenomenal, best ever. Tonkonstu Ramen was amazing regardless of which seasoning (classic or soy sauce). The spicy Ramen was devoured by my husband. We also tried the Mochi, coffee and mango. Fresh and tasty. Absolutely zero complaints. We will be back!

    My family and I visited Tamashii Ramen for the first time today. We waited about 45 minutes for our table, but it was well worth the wait! We started off with gyoza and garlic fried rice. Both of these appetizers were totally delicious! We had 4 different ramen dishes, including Tonkotsu Ramen, Curry Ramen, Spicy Ramen, and Miso Butter Corn Ramen. The Spicy Ramen was the family favorite followed by Tonkotsu. I wasn’t a fan of the Curry Ramen. Our waiter George was amazing! He was very attentive, gave us tips on taking photos and let us know about the secret menu items that we’ll definitely try on our next visit. The manager came to our table and offered me something else since I wasn’t a fan of the Curry Ramen. I thought this was very kind and it was definitely unexpected! If you’re looking for a great meal with great service, visit Tamashii!!!

    The experience at this Ramen restaurant was truly exceptional. From the moment I stepped in, the cozy and inviting atmosphere welcomed me. The menu boasted an array of delectable Ramen options that left me spoilt for choice. I opted for their signature tonkotsu Ramen, and it did not disappoint. The broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles cooked to perfection, and the toppings added a delightful burst of flavors. To accompany my meal, I decided to try the Orion beer that was highly recommended. What a fantastic choice that was! The Orion beer complemented the Ramen impeccably, enhancing the overall dining experience. It was crisp, refreshing, and paired wonderfully with the savory flavors of the Ramen. The attentive and friendly staff were an absolute delight, providing top-notch service throughout my visit. They were knowledgeable about the menu and offered insightful recommendations.

    I honestly want to give this 5 stars but I can't based on many reasons. The first reason would be that we had to figure out how to even get a table. There is a sign In the front that tells you to scan this qr code. If you miss the sign and walk in employees here make you feel as if you should have seen the sign. Next would be how our server made us feel rushed. The place was not really busy but she acted as if she was and made us feel rushed. Third would be the broth if the ramen. I've eaten at alot of ramen places and yes this ramen was good but not to my liking when I think of ramen.fourth would be that they were out of gyudon. We love this dish but for some reason they were out. We eventually ordered the garlic ramen. The ramen had flavor it wasn't lacking there, were it was lacking was the broth and creaminess you would think of with ramen. It seemed more water with garlic then a garlic type broth if that makes any sense. My wife ordered the spicy ramen. Same thing with the broth it was flavorful but lacked the thick creamy taste you would expect. It was more water and sesame flavor. We also ordered the garlic fried rice. That was good but as my wife stated it was more egg then rice, we wish it had a little more rice. There really isn't a kids option but they do have things they can offer for kids. I do wish they in the future take to consider adding kid friendly items. They got fried chicken and rice. The chicken was good compared to the ramen shops I have been to. This place ensured it was more Chicken then breading and it was cooked perfectly and not dry. Some other cool aspects are the decor. They had projectors playing Anime which was really cool. Please have the audio for the show instead of music. The manager Lewis did a great job checking on us. He then asked about our experience and what we thought of the place. I honestly can say the ramen had flavor and was good, just the broth wasn't to my standard of how I like my ramen. I would say for sure with the experience we had and the experience with the food it would definitely get a 4 out of 5.

    There were 5 in our group. Only 1 person had ate here before, so the other 4 newbies. We all had a good time. The atmosphere was cool. We chose to eat inside, but there was a patio to eat outside. The service was quick once we ordered. I had potstickers and garlic fried rice, along with the Japanese fried chicken... SO YUMMY. I know we will be going back to eat again.

    I would rate this place higher than 5 stars if I could. The food is phenomenal and one of the best ramen spots I’ve visited. It can easily go head to head with spots in Los Angeles and Houston. I had the Spicy Ramen with egg and it hit the spot. Our group also had the Garlic Fried Rice with chicken. We had it cooked from the secret menu and that is increíble. The best part was the customer service and seeing how proud people are to work here and make sure customers are welcomed and feel at home. Call in advance to reserve a spot because there is a wait but it’s worth it. If you get cold they sell sweatshirts and hoodies as well.

    We tried 4 different items and I all were good. The garlic fried rice topped with chashudon was amazing! Best fried rice I've ever had. The curry Ramen was good as well. The curry chicken was probably my least favorite. Not that it wasn't good but it didn't wow me

    Great dining experience. My wife and I stopped in for lunch. I had the garlic ramen with spicy bomb and my wife had curry ramen. We also had potstickers. Everything came out fast and hot. Tasted great (the eggs are a real star in these bowl). The spicy bomb added a nice kick without being too much. Service was great and the restaurant was clean. I do wish there was some seafood options, but really my only critique. Can't wait to go back.

    Nice area in mid-town. Parking lot needs a little help. All the people waiting outside for the alert on their phone to go off is a giveaway to how good the food is. Really nice environment with anime projected on the walls while you eat. Everything I tasted was amazing. One of my new favorite places.

  • 5/5 Shanna H. 1 year ago on Google
    We went kinda late, round 9:30. Had quite a wait for a seat as no one really wants to leave the place! But it ended up worth it. We sat outside under the heaters on their covered porch. The hot green tea was fantastic 👌. The food was exceptional, top notch. And the alcoholic drinks my boyfriend had were very tasty although pricey. My favorite parts of dinner were the pork belly and the eggs in my Ramen. If we come visit and go here again I will ask for extra. Good grub!

    Went to dinner here to celebrate a Grands birthday. We've never been. We got a table for 10 after a few minutes wait. We did have to have entire party there 1st, even though they weren't crowded. Insid isn't very big, but they have a nice outside area. The server was excellent! The food was very good!

  • 5/5 Octo K. 1 year ago on Google
    We came across this place as we were starving. They have both free parking and parking meters. There is a QR code to scan to ensure you get a spot. Seeing how this place fills up quick, it is highly recommended to scan the code. After being seated, the atmosphere is dim, but lively at the same time. Our waitress was amazing and very informative on the menu. We had the gyoza and some ramen. Both were very tasty. Portion size for the price was reasonable. It was overall a wonderfully positive experience and highly recommended to try. They also play anime as a bonus!

    This is probably the best Ramen place I've been to. Location is great, decor is awesome, service was great. Annie was our server and had excellent recommendations which I followed to my delight! ☺️ I actually had a fried rice dish and my friend some Ramen. It was sooooo good!!

    Best Ramen restaurant. Been coming for years every time I am in OKC. This time took the family. Everyone loved the food and drinks. I had Garlic Ramen for the first time and absolutely loved it

  • 5/5 Mike T. 7 months ago on Google
    My daughter picked this restaurant for her birthday meal. First time to visit for all of us. I’m no expert on ramen but this was delicious. Between us we had the Vegan and the Ninniku Tonkotsu ramen, Garlic Fried Rice, Edamame and Gyoza. The staff were very friendly and helpful, great service! We didn’t have a long wait for our table but there isn’t a lot of seating so it seems like it could be possible.

  • 4/5 C M. 6 months ago on Google
    Not the best ramen I've had, but not the worst. However, that may be because I chose a ramen that I had never tried before. I ordered the Tonkotsu Shoyu (Soy and Fish seasoning. Dense and creamy, this dish is topped with chashu, negi, menma, and nitamago. Finished with a drizzle of mayu [black garlic oil].). It was good, just different. It arrived very quickly and was piping hot when it arrived. I liked the way that it was packaged. All of the ingredients were cooked, but the broth was packaged separately so that nothing was overcooked.

    Very neat atmosphere! Anime playing on the walls to each while enjoying delicious ramen. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Diogo S. 7 months ago on Google
    This place does ramen the right way. I knew they had something going when I pulled up and there were a ton of people waiting outside for a table. Luckily I was alone and got a bar seat pretty fast. Food was delicious. The crunch on the gyoza was next level. Tonkotsu broth was very flavorful. The garlic rice was amazing. I for sure ate way too much. If I had to find negatives, there’s no Coke zero, just diet, and the mochi wasn’t great, just okay like a store bought one. Everything else was pretty awesome!
