    Cucumber Salad
    Ri M.

    Broth was flavorful without any oiliness to it and ramen had the perfect bite however the pork belly had an off putting "boar taint" taste. I could not eat the meat. Service was quick & ambiance is casual with view of the kitchen. The appetizers were satisfying.

    Cup of water because water quality matter!
    Angel C.

    This was a great spot to grab dinner with some friends. The menu is straight forward and they are well honed in on what they do. You might notice a picture of the Water with ice, I included it because the taste of a restaurant water is very important in FL, and their water is great, no tap or sulfuric taste. That tells me they care about all aspects of the meal. We had the karaage which I would say is a must try we also had the dumplings and onigiri, all great starters. We had the Spicy miso, tantan with no pork, and the dumpling ramen. Our friend had the broth less tantan with noodles and he thoroughly enjoy it. Their broth has a richness to it that makes it very satisfying and they ground pork they add to it makes the broth more flavorful as you work your way through it. They are also not stingy with the toppings which are very fresh. The place was busy so we had to wait to sit but it was worth the wait! I also appreciated that they did not hurry us up even though they were busy and the staff was just lovely and knowledgeable about their menu items. If you are a ramen lover you will enjoy this place, this cold weather is also the perfect time for it. ごちそうさまでした

    Ramen Takagi is a ramen bar that's clean and modern, yet simplistic in design. It's a small restaurant with several tables and open kitchen counter you can view. The service was reasonable even though it wasn't busy. The server was nice. There's a variety of Japanese drinks you can order with your meal. We ordered the spicy miso ramen, black garlic tonkatsu ramen, and the fried karaage chicken. I've been to the restaurant at least a dozen times in the past five years and it's always been a good spot for ramen. Lately, I've noticed the change in the quality. I used to enjoy all the flavorful spices and richness of the broth, but this last time I felt it lacked the same robust taste. Perhaps there was a change in recipe or cooking method. At one time the ramen could be comparable to Domu or Jinya's elevated versions. I have been to a lot of fabulous ramen bars across the US, and this one use to be exceptional in past years. However, I want to emphasize that for this area of town it is still considered a good option for someone craving ramen. What I enjoyed most was the fried chicken karaage. It was still crunchy and had nice spices and a creamy dipping sauce. There's a small parking lot and many food options in the same plaza.

    Tonkotsu Ramen with added spicy paste
    Alexis F.

    This is hands down the best ramen in Orlando. While this ramen shop is lesser known compared to other ramen restaurants in the area, I think it surpasses other shops in both quality, quantity, and taste. My go to is the tonkatsu. The pork belly is so yummy I could rave on and on about it but take my word for it. They give you so much broth and meat that it has become customary to also get an additional side of noodles to go with my leftovers and it's like a second meal. My boyfriend loves the spicy miso. While it's spicy (as the name implies), the servers allow you to add the spicy paste on the side to customize to your spice desire. Both broths are incredible and no matter which ramen you order you won't be disappointed. I also am a big fan of their karaage. It is always so fresh and perfectly fried. The fried part of the chicken is flavored to perfection and the side sauce is delicious. Only downside to this restaurant is it is smaller in size and can fill up quick, but given it is a mom and pop shop, it's worth the wait and to support local businesses is always a plus. The service is always fast. Each time I go I get so surprised with how quick they bring food out. I love the open concept of the kitchen. You can peak right in when sitting at the counter and watch them cook your food. I love you ramen takagi!

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Felicia K.

    Ramen is easy to make, but Takagi puts in a ton of unique creamy flavored goodness. Eggs are soaked in soy sauce that adds another layer of Flavor. The pork is thinly sliced, tender and perfectly falls apart when using chop sticks. Loved the big wooden soup spoon to gathering a little bit of everything while using chopsticks and also taking a sip of the broth. Welcomed in with good instruction because it was busy. Waited outside for about 10 mins. Well worth it. Simple decor with pleasant colors, nice calm music able to carry conversation at your table.

    Mazesoba and Shoyu Ramen
    Vivian Y.

    My favorite ramen shop in Orlando! I love how their broths arent too rich, and the ramen is really close to ones I've had over in Japan. I tried their mazesoba and the texture is great, with the crunchiness from the negi mix, with the chewiness from the noodles, and the flavor from the chopped chashu. They also have onigiris!

    Rice balls
    Christine S.

    I'm usually not in this area, so they've been on and off my radar for a while now. One of my co-workers recommended that I need to try them, so I finally got around to it. The restaurant is nice. It's small and cozy. There are only about five tables and a bar area for seating. The waiter was nice. I ordered at the host podium and was sat immediately after. I got the salmon rice ball and the pickled plum rice ball. I've had both in Tokyo, so I have high hopes for these being amazing! They were good! The salmon had a nice and fresh grilled flavor. The plum was salty and sour, just like I remembered! Tasty rice balls! I'll have to come back to try the ramen!

    Spicy Miso Ramen
    Carla S.

    I'm so happy I finally try Ramen Takagi. I have been on a hunt for good ramen in Central Florida ever since I came back from Japan. The first time I wanted to try Ramen Takagi I didn't check the time and they were almost closing so we didn't stay (I hate to be those parties that expect service five minutes before closing) and the second time there was a bad storm and we couldn't go as planned. Well, the third time is a charm and it was worth the wait. We ordered the spicy miso and tonkotsu ramen. Oh wow! They were phenomenal. The broth was so rich and flavorful and the egg too. We also ordered the gyozas as an appetizer and we loved them too. The portion was perfect and fulfilling. The place is small with regular and counter seating. So it reminded me a little bit of Japan. I will definitely be back here. It is delicious. Not at Japan level but it is a good option nearby.

    Shoyu ramen

    Love the flavors here! I got the shoyu ramen and it was delicious! Everything is made fresh to order and the staff is very kind!

    Karaage
    Simran B.

    We visited ramen takagi on a Saturday afternoon. I had been looking forward to trying another ramen place since I've struggled to find a new favorite since Sapporo closed and Seito stopped serving ramen. We started with the karaage which was super fresh. The mayo with it was delicious, and it was super crispy and delicious. I don't usually go for fried chicken, but they knocked it out of the park with this one. I got the tonkotsu ramen with corn and my companion got the signature garlic with extra egg and noodles. The tonkotsu broth was amazing. It was rich and flavorful, everything that I wanted. The noodle serving was plentiful. The pork melted in my mouth. The eggs were amazing. The corn had a slight char to it. Overall, I couldn't have been happier with this ramen. The signature garlic ramen was also very good. Everything that this place did, they did well. I'm very happy with the experience. The service was quick, and the food was tasty. I'll definitely be back for more.

    Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen
    Stephanie L.

    If you're hunting for a cozy, casual ramen spot in Orlando and don't need fancy décor or superfluous menu items, Ramen Takagi is definitely worth a shot. Their classic bowls of tonkotsu, miso, shoyu are solid, with flavorful broths, decent toppings, and a vibe that's more authentic ramen than tourist trap. Service was amazing!

    Shoyu Ramen
    Jessica P.

    Still after all the time has passed since our first visit. This is still by far the best ramen in the Orlando area. The food is incredible. Very tasty and cooked fresh to order- worth the wait! The location is small and intimate, and the service is great. The owner is so nice and remembers us every time we go in- even if months have passed. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for real authentic ramen!

    Spicy tonkatsu ramen soup - 18.50
    Arun K.

    My friends and I wanted to do ramen near their area, and they really enjoy this place. We arrived on a Wednesday and luckily got a seat immediately. I was able to wait and take some water before my friends arrived as well. We sat in a small table near the front. I went with the spicy tonkatsu ramen soup for 18.5. I was offered a slice level and chose hot. The soup came pretty quickly. The broth had a small amount of heat that I coughed a bit from swallowing a pepper, but not too hot to make me cry. It could have been a bit spicier for more flavor honestly. The noodles were nicely portioned and al dente. The pork was tender, but could have been more flavorful. The egg was nicely soft boiled. I did enjoy the scallions and mushrooms, but I held the pickled ginger as I only eat it with sushi. Overall, the soup was pretty filling and satisfactory. The service was quick and friendly. The atmosphere is pretty small and casual. There weren't many tables, so there could be a wait if it gets crowded. It looks like alcohol isn't served and Japanese soda plus other drinks are available in a fridge. Music seemed to be easy listening vapor wave music, which is good for chillaxin and studying. While I found Domu and Soupa Saiyan to have slightly better ramen, Ramen Takagi still provides a nice ramen soup in a very casual atmosphere. Great for UCF students to enjoy a good comfort food and for Oviedo residents as well.

The karaage was highly disappointing, the sauce was overwhelming and made the fried chicken coating slightly soggy. I think a dry seasoning would've paired better. The beef cheek had nice presentation, but didn't really impress with the flavor; there's better places for yakitori. The otoro we got was decent. The ribs were my favorite of the night with good sauce and they fell off the bone. And then my real favorite of the night was the ube cheesecake, so delicious and flavorful! The service was great and the server was helpful in bringing us a happy hour menu after we asked. Interior was dark and had good vibes for a date night.

The restaurant was nicely decorated, much nicer than most of the casual Japanese restaurants that we have recently visited including some in the fancy parts of Winter Park. Nomi has quality chairs and booths! Too many casual food places use these cheap aluminum chairs, not this place, Nomi has first rate chairs. You know it matters, if you're spending hard earned money you shouldn't have to eat on picnic table like furniture. Well, at least I think so... The food selections allow for budget conscious people like me, plus there are other items on the menu if you're looking to splurge, which I bet are amazing. We had a mix of appetizers, shrimp tempura and sushi rolls -everything was great! The place is located in East Orlando at the end of 408, just off E. colonial. There is usually only minimal traffic in this area, and Nomi had plenty of parking out front. We all agreed, Nomi will be our go to place for casual Japanese dinners.

Everyone received their starters, the blonde waitress asked if I wanted one as well. When I said yes, she responded with "bro, it's not going to be free," which made the interaction very awkward for everyone at the table since I never even asked for the starter in the first place and was just very unprofessional. Later, one of my friends received shrimp tempura that was translucent, raw, and slimy in the middle. When we politely mentioned it, both the waitress and host repeatedly questioned whether we were sure it was raw. At one point the waitress even asked something along the lines of "so do you want this for free or something?" which felt accusatory and uncomfortable. We're familiar with tempura/sushi dishes in general and understand that something can be fried on the outside but still undercooked inside. The repeated doubt came across as dismissive and a bit condescending. She also said she would "pray" for one of my friends which was a very strange and off-putting comment in that situation. It just felt like she was doubting us and in general it made us feel bad for even bringing it up in the first place. The item did end up being comped, which we appreciated, but that didn't change the interaction we had or the comments that were made. We weren't there trying to get free items, so the assumptions and tone from our server made the whole situation feel uncomfortable and strange. Overall, we did enjoy the food, but the service made the dinner uncomfortable and left us feeling judged rather than welcomed. Since I've had good experiences here in the past, I hope this feedback is taken constructively so future guests have a better experience.
