After visiting Japan I've been looking for something that could come close to the tsukemen ramen I tried over there.This place is as close as it can get. I'd even go as far as saying it might even be better as it felt richer than others I've tried without relying too much on fish broth.Takoyaki was also very good!

Absolutely phenomenal! I love this place and it's atmosphere. It's like being in a different world everytime I come here. The portions are great and the food coma is real!
I loved the extreme amount of bean sprouts which added much needed freshness to the heavy broth. A tad too salty and rich for me, but portions were so big I had a 2nd meal of leftovers the next day - this is when I realized the amount of fat in the broth, which slightly scared me. However, overall broth, meat and ramen was flavourful and delicious.

Ambiance (5/5): Having been to Japan, the restaurant had a classic Japanese restaurant style with bar seating onlooking the kitchen. There's a handful of floor dining tables. A decorated wall with photos and sake. It's brightly lit and not loud.Service (5/5): Since I was dining solo, I was immediately seated at the bar. The service was attentive and quick.Their menu prices on the website are out of date— $19 vs $26 (?!)Food (4/5): I ordered the $26 tonkotsu chashu jiro tsukemen. This is a cold ramen dipping into the warm broth. This style is less common so I went this over the ramen. The broth was warm and salty with plenty of toppings, a whole soft boiled seasoned egg, *very* garlic-forward, and had a powerful umami depth. The ramen is thick and chewy; plenty portioned for me that I took half of it for leftovers. The pork slices were large and generous (2 in the broth, 2 outside it) but they were not melt-in-your-mouth texture. Nicely seasoned but can be a bit dry without dipping into the broth. Delicious, satisfying bowl!I can't wait to come back to try their ramen.

Best ramen I've had in a while. Absolutely delicious. The broth I got was surprisingly creamy and had the perfect amount of seasoning. Service was also impeccable. Can't wait to go back.

Food was pretty good but the service was terribleThe Server moved us 2 times due to “Rhinitis” and her claiming the perfume was bothering her. We don’t wear perfume nor cologne. If you’re sick don’t come to work… She tried to stick us in the corner table when we were sitting at the bar. She made it a big deal to stay at the bar even though we moved down.She was talking badly about customers to the kitchen in which we could hear and I suspect thats why she tried to move us. She was rolling her eyes on the phone and complaining that customers wanted soy sauce and had questions about the menu.She then proceeded to lose our tab as she moved us. Didn’t ask what we got and tried to fill in the blanks as we saw her do so.I get some people have bad days but for her to talk badly about her tables and then proceeded to talk badly about us while we were leaving in which we could see is crazy to me.Overall, i’ve never had a restaurant experience like this nor shall I hope to ever have another like this again.The Guy server was pretty chill though.

It's a personal preference but this isn't the kind of ramen I like. I prefer thin noodles and creamier broth. That said, TabeTomo is high quality food - noodles are chewy (thick, closer to udon), flavorful broth (not smooth - with chunks of fat i think and garlic). Chashu was good but not melt in your mouth. It's a HUGE serving though, and they give you spice powder so you can spice it up to your liking. Matcha tea was a bust - barely any flavor, definitely closer to cold water.

Delicious first bite / spoonful but a bit too heavy, garlicky, and rich for that big of a bowl. Potentially personal preference but I’d have preferred a lighter less thick broth.
