We came to Tanaka Ramen after being advertised for boozy boba, which didn't disappoint! The boozy boba drinks we got were a piña colada, sakura lychee martini, and mojito. All were delicious and some cane with popping or regular tapioca boba. For food, we got the karaage, agedashi tofu, Tanaka classic, and Tanaka spicy miso. The karaage was delicious (dipped in spicy miso broth) and crispy. The tofu was slightly soggy but super flavorful. Ramen was delicious as well and broth was rich and flavorful. Will be coming here again soon!

They are so friendly! And their tapioca boba tasted homemade. Try the tonkatsu curry, it’s so good. Perfectly crispy. My boyfriend enjoyed his ramen.

Food variety and quality is great. Service is pleasant and wonderful. There was an issue with our order and our server not only solved the issue but made up for it as well. Will definitely be going back to try the boozy boba!

The owner came and talked for 20 minutes with my family, treated us like his best friends! We had the most amazing server, very patient and welcoming. The atmosphere was chill and unique, with a very clean table and area. The Ramen was exquisite and had amazing flavor profiles, with a million toppings possible! This is a great place for a meeting with friends, a date, or a family dinner! We had a family of 5, and absolutely no wait for a table. 10000% will keep coming back!

It looks great, and the service was fine. This is my second time eating here and I waited 30 minutes for my noodles to be very overcooked, which is disappointing since it’s a ramen shop. Other than that, broth and fixings are decent.

I ordered from Tanaka Ramen through DoorDash, and it was honestly pretty frustrating. I would’ve loved to enjoy my meal properly, but they didn’t include any utensils. So I just had some tea and sipped a bit of broth—which was bland and not salted at all.
I asked not to include green onions, and they listened—so thanks for that, at least.
But it would’ve been nice if they also included the corn I paid over $2 for. Seriously, if you’re going to charge extra, the least you can do is make sure it’s actually in the order.
Now I’ll be eating the rest of this meal five hours later after work, cold and disappointing. Not a great first impression.
