Tanto Gyoza and Ramen is a great spot off the typical path. There is limited parking, so best to arrive early to get a spot. The staff was very friendly, courteous and speedy. We were immediately greeted and never felt neglected.
The gyoza had a nice crispy, but delicate skin. The pork and vegetable filling was flavorful while the vegetables inside provided textural contrast with some crunch.
The Mazemen used a thicker noodle that was in-between an udon and a ramen noodle. The noodles were cooked with a little bit of tooth and chew. An egg on top provided a creamy texture when mixed in. I couldn't help but feel that the noodles need just a slight kick, so the available chili oil on the table was able to hit that note for me.
The Tokyo umami ramen was lighter than your typical Tonkotsu ramen that you would find on the mainland. The dashi and chicken broth mix was light but had nice clean flavor.
Overall I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu as these dishes did not disappoint.
Absolutely loved our experience here. It’s like a little oasis in a parking lot. Really cozy ambience. Fantastic service and food!! Shoyu ramen was 10/10. Please open a location in Detroit!
I like that they change the menu every week. Gyoza is by far the best item since they specialize in making them.
The waiter is very kind. The food is authentic and tasty. We ordered Tanto Tonkatsu red and Tanto Shoyu with dumplings and salad as well as Sapporo draft. Great decor and ambiance as well.
Great place to have a Gyoza. Small but yummy. Their ramen was okay. The soup could be more authentic.
We ordered Shoyu and Miso, both have great ramen and soup. Gyoza is a bit small but tasty.
Don’t sleep on this hidden gem. Gyoza was undeniable. Yamada wings? Hope you weren’t wearing socks. They’re about to be blown off.

We went there a little before dinner rush. Got seated quite fast despite not reserved. Staff wasn't really pay much attention to us. That's ok. we are for food anyway. Food arrive quickly and sadly all were salty. The curry ramen (limited time) were salty. Regular ramen also salty. Last but not least, the chicken wings also very salty and honestly overpriced. 5pcs for 13.75+tax. Gyoza was ok not meet the hype at all. Tonkatsu bite was good but it was pork belly.
Parking: has limited amount of parking in front of the shop. the stalls are somewhat narrow.

Incredible bowl of ramen! ?
Rich broth, tender meat, and a perfectly soft-boiled egg—pure umami heaven and spice . The crispy gyoza is the perfect sidekick. ? Simple, soulful, and satisfying.

By far the best hand rolls I've ever had. The Ramen was amazing, too. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting the island.

Tanto Gyoza and Ramer Bar is a solid and convenient choice for a ramen izakaya.
The restaurant sits on the parking lot behind Nijiya, with a decent amount of seating. The restaurant itself has a nice atmosphere similar to that of a ramen shop in Japan. The menu has a fair amount of items, ranging from rice bowls, hand rolls and of course, ramen.
I ordered the Black Tonkatsu Ramen which was around $18 with a side of One Bite Tonkatsu pieces ($9). Both the ramen and tonkatsu felt authentic and I was fairly impressed with the quality of food. Although it wasn't the best ramen I have had, I would definitely consider going again if I find myself in the area.
Parking: Parking is convenient as it sits in a parking lot. If you cannot find parking here, there is a parking structure behind the Raising Cane's across the street for retail customers.

This is my favorite ramen place in the world. They have world famous gyoza that you can get in a reasonably priced combo with a ramen dish. My favorite ramen is the Tokyo Umami Ramen, which has brilliantly made noodles and delicious charsiu. 10/10 would recommend to anyone, whether the have had 100’s of ramen bowls or this will be their first one
Parking: Parking available immediately outside in the front of the restaurant, in the garage (20m), or the street (50m).
Kid-friendliness: Plenty of good options for younger children.
Wheelchair accessibility: Step free entrance and accessibility parking

Is there such a big difference between takeaway and dine-in standards? The noodles I ordered came with no pork belly, and even most meat were made of fatty pork. Also no egg!I feel very disappointed.
I like their Gyoza. This is a very small piece. Ramen is also good.
