My biggest problem, is I like the chain, but there's an inconsistency in the naming of sites between the two brand names that they have, I went recently to the eastern restaurant, and it was nothing like the Allentown restaurant, or the eastern restaurant was a fine sit down restaurant, and the Allentown is more of kind of a casual spot. Then you go to the Bethlehem location and it's again more of a sit-down, but it's got the other branding on the name of the restaurant so it's really confusing I think they need to find a happy medium for the naming and stop confusing customers cuz I don't know whether it's a sit-down dining experience, or I'm going to leave the kids at home, or a informal Ramen House or I can bring the kids and not worry about them bothering the other customers.

Listen...this ramen is out of this WORLD!! I got the Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen and it was the best ramen I've had anywhere which is saying something. They're amazing for just 2 people working they turned out orders so fast! Not many tables but I love that they do take out too. The Mango Green Tea is fabulous. My daughter and mother also got ramen and loved theirs. The dishes they serve everything on are beautiful as well. Will be coming here often!!

The food and the service were good. The only downside is that 90% of the menu comes with pork. They have one appetizer and 1 ramen meal that has chicken (fried).The spicy miso is not spicy at all, and I had to substitute chicken instead of the pork (which I was charged extra for). They also have a bao bun dish on the appetizer menu, but it also comes with pork, and they would not substitute pork for chicken. It is upsetting because their chicken is very delicious.

The food is consistantly good. Inside is pretty small and cramped however, but for being close by overall it's a great ramen shop option.

Honestly the same owner owns both this one and rakki ramen in Bethlehem but I find this location of better quality! Which is great because this one is closer to me. I wish they had a season pass where you pay an annual price to eat all year round id get it everyday lol. It's the only food I'm ALWAYS in the mood for! Spicy Miso for the win!!

Made a detour in the way to NJ to fulfill a ramen craving. The food was amazing! Very fast service in a comfortable environment. So glad I waited to stop here!

Basic options in the Ramen selections, but includes egg and enough additions.Downsides are hot interior - fan no A/C and seating can be limited if busy.
This is a tale of two Takkiis: I accidentally ordered a meal for my children thinking it was the Reading location. Definitely my mistake for ordering from the Allentown location. I found out when I went to pick up the order so called the Allentown location.They did not offer to refund my order, relying on the argument that it is a separate franchise so different money I suppose. That said, I received the best of service and understanding from the Reading location.While I'm sure the food is as good, the lack of working with the customer and ensuring good will was woeful. But hey, you got my $55 plus tip!

Great food and service. Loved that I could get gluten free ramen. Ambiance is fine, simple and clean.

My food is always hot, fresh and balanced in flavor. I love this place ❤️Vegetarian options: They have a vegetarian ramen option that is very delicious :)
I was disappointed that they don't offer a chicken ramen. So I ordered the veg goyoza and shrimp shumai. I was a bit disappointed they were not homemade.... Just pop in the microwave! My husband enjoyed the beef ramen. The staff was very nice and attentive... suggested we go to the Bethlehem store for chicken broth ramen. The place was very clean.

Stopped in for a late lunch. We had vegetable gyoza, okonomiyaki, curry chicken rice bowl, and teriyaki chicken rice bowl. Everything was tasty and fresh. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely come back again.
