Came here for the 1st time with high expectations. Upon arrival we were put on a 45 minute wait-list since the place was packed since this was the newest spot in town to eat.As soon as we were sat, we placed our order.It took about 30 minutes for the food to come out. Again, this is understandable since it was a new place.AppetizerFried Cheese 4/5Pork Belly Bun 5/5Takoyaki 5/5MainTokyo Ramen 3/5Chicken Donburi 3/5Stir fried Shrimp Ramen 4/5The appetizers were tasty. Fried cheese were similar to fried cheese curds served with ranch, the buns were delicious, and the well portioned takoyaki were good.The mains were alright. The Tokyo Ramen had very good charsiu pork and noodles, but the broth seemed to lack the rich depth of flavor you would get in a tonkotsu broth. The chicken Donburi with fried rice was good but very oily. The shrimp ramen was tasty.Will definitely need to come back at a later time to retry.

One of the best noodle shops in Tupelo with amazing noodles. I go for the sides really though. The octopus balls and soup dumpling are to kill for, I kid you not. A must go if you are into Japanese type foods and ramen noodles.
Stopped by for my first time today. This will be new favorite ?. Service is fast, friendly and food came fresh and hot ?. I had the coconut shrimp and crab jalapeños ? were delicious!Dietary restrictions: I'm eating keto. My order is keto friendly

Delicious real ramen! The ramen is delicious and very filling. I haven't been able to finish a whole bowl either time that I've visited. The Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen is super tasty!

Please ignore the reviews by the people who’ve only eaten Asian cuisine from Mt. Fuji or China Capital and the people who have “had ramen in Japan”.The quality of food that this restaurant is providing is spectacular, especially for the region.

This place was incredible to eat at. Everything felt new and looked clean. The service was extremely fast. My girlfriend and I said what we would like to eat and it felt like 3 minutes passed and my shrimp fried rice and her chicken katsu ramen came out. The food came out on one of those robotic cats; we both found it very cool since it was our first time seeing one in person. My rice tasted like I was in a hibachi restaurant, which I loved, personally. I tried a bite of my girlfriend’s chicken and it was very good as well, and she enjoyed her food as a whole. The music that was playing felt odd at first, but how calming it was began to fit in with the restaurant the longer we were in there. One detail I liked a lot, for some reason, was how smooth the tables were, I didn’t know tables could feel that smooth. Overall, our experience was great, and our waitress, Madison (I believe), was very kind and punctual.

I’ve never had a bad experience here and as someone who originally wasn’t s big fan of East Asian style dishes I was pleasantly surprised. You get quite s lot of food for your purchase. Sure it might be s but pricy for noodles but it’s worth it.The atmosphere is calm, the waiters are nice and they have a robocat that brings your food out. I’ve been told it sings happy birthday too you so fair warning if your not into that.They also have special little booths that feel like an old style ramen stand (for anyone that likes anime you will know what I mean) over all really chill place to eat.

Presentation was good but the flavor wasn’t very good on the ramen the fried rice was one of the only actually good meals sat at our table. The pork dumpling was also really good.
Takumi Ramen. Thank you so much for being a bright spot on chicken alley, haha. Takumi brings a wonderful ramen experience and something different to the area. Clean modern interior, the food delivery robot is adorable, and it's great to go on your own or with friends and family. The food itself? Delicious! The waitress was sweet and recommended the spicy miso ramen (which is my go to at ramen shops. Wanted to try and branch out, but it looked too good to resist.) the noodles were bouncy, the broth was spicy but not too spicy just a bowl of flavorful goodness. 10/10 would recommend. I'd love to try some of their appetizers too! Now, to keep it 100% I wanted to give this place 5 stars so bad, but the primary reason I had to take a star off? The boba. I've had some of the best boba around both in Mississippi (Shout out Snow and Boba in Ocean Springs) and in other states. The drink itself tasted OK enough. But the experience of the actual boba pearls? They were flavorless and undercooked and reminded me way too much of why I didn't like boba when I first tried it. If it's something they improve on, maybe I could give it a try again. But I won't be doing that anytime soon. I'll stick to the food, and enjoy the vibes.

This is honestly some of the best Ramen I’ve ever had. I’ve had ramen in London, Japan, and Guam! This is the best in the twin state area for sure.

The food here is fantastic, likely the top spot for authentic ramen. There's no other restaurant in the city quite like it. Hopefully, it maintains its commitment to serving high-quality food. If you order Bubba, be prepared for a long wait. Interestingly, your food often arrives before your specialty drinks for some reason.Vegetarian options: One dish, vegetable ? ramen
