When I say this is the BEST ramen in Lakeland, I mean it. The vibes? Perfect. The service? Immaculate. The food? Crafted with real skill and integrity — worth every dollar. If you haven’t eaten here yet, you’re missing out. 🍜💯

Don't get the ramen if you're used to authentic ramen. I couldn't eat it. My husband's was okay. They also charge 1.50/half egg- not a whole and don't specify that. (I hate when ramen shops do that).
If you're not used to authentic ramen, I'm sure it's great 👍. If you are, you'll be sorely disappointed. It tastes like a chicken bouillon cube with added salt.
Service was good.

Went for the first time on a Wednesday and we had an amazing experience! Service was so quick and the food was amazing! Employees were extremely helpful as far as answering questions in regards to the menu. I’ve never been to a ramen restaurant like this one but I got the black garlic lover ramen bowl and it was delicious! A big portion as well, I had enough for lunch and leftovers for dinner! The only possible downside was there was no music or anything. So it was an extremely quiet atmosphere but that didn’t bother my two friends and I at all. Was a delightful meal in a peaceful environment. Can’t wait to go back!

One of my favorite ramen places!! They have a variety of broths, noodle types, and even add ins you can add to your ramen! They have really delicious appetizers as well, I generally recommend their bao buns, which is essentially a steamed pork bun, they are absolutely phenomenal!! 10/10 recommend!!

This is the most white washed ramen place ever. I’ve got told about this place a lot because I’m a huge ramen person but honestly this was so disappointing. I don’t see the hype. I honestly didn’t even finish my food. I
Absolutely delicious, as well as traditional! 10/5 stars! The wait staff was extremely polite, and food was outstanding! 👌 A staple in my repertoire of dining out eats!

To me, this is the best ramen spot in all of South Lakeland. Everything is prepared right in front of you—always incredibly fresh. Ever since I moved from Miami, bringing with me the taste and expectations of that city, I’ve never stopped coming here. I always enjoy a glass of wine with my meal, and it never disappoints.
Thank you so much for existing—I truly love your food. I’ll continue to visit two or three times a month. Much appreciation.

Oksumi Ramen Bar in South Lakeland is one of our absolute go-to spots whenever we’re craving something cozy, flavorful, and totally satisfying! 🍜🔥🇯🇵
Every visit is a win—from the friendly staff to the casual vibe that makes it so easy to relax and enjoy. Whether it’s a laid-back dinner or a full-blown ramen emergency, Oksumi always hits the spot. Always.
We’ve got our favorites down to a science: we always start with the Takoyaki—crispy little battered octopus bites topped with their signature Oksumi mayo. It’s one of those dishes where you’re genuinely sad when the last one’s gone. 😍🐙 And don’t even get us started on the apps—we’re obsessed with the Gyoza, Oksumi Bun, Calamari, Veggie Spring Rolls, and that crispy, golden Karaage (Japanese fried chicken). Every bite is packed with flavor and perfect for sharing (or not—we won’t judge 😋).
Now for the main event: the ramen. My go-to is the Spicy Tonkotsu—a rich, savory broth with a slow-building heat that’s just right. My husband is all about the Ultimate Tonkotsu White, especially when he’s craving something savory with a hint of shellfish flavor. We almost always kick it up a notch with extra spice, because let’s be honest—spice makes everything better! 🌶️🍜 When we’re in the mood to get creative, we go for the Build Your Own Ramen—a fun way to tailor your bowl exactly the way you want it (and yep, mine’s always spicy!).
Oksumi nails it with a perfect balance of authentic Japanese flavors and playful, customizable options. Whether you’re a ramen purist or love to explore, there’s always something new to love here.
If you’re anywhere near the Lakeland area, do yourself a favor and stop by. We’ve been coming here for a while now, and we’ll absolutely keep coming back for more slurp-worthy goodness! 🥢🍥💛
