(Overdue review) The food is excellent as the lovely waitress as well. They offer you free tea! I started with the yummy potato croquettes and for the ramen I had the Kara Miso which was delicious. Not too spicy and the broth is rich. See pic and video uploaded. :) read more

Tamashii Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Astoria, New York

I came here for an early dinner with my brother and sister on Friday night. We easily were able to get a table and our order was taken quickly. For an appetizer we had their takoyaki. I loved that the inside was full of chunks of octopus. I ordered their miso ramen as my entree and I really enjoyed everything about it. The broth was very tasty, the noodles were cooked perfectly; next time I would just ordered extra meat since it only comes with 2 slices. It was such a big bowl I had to take some home. I tried their moshi Fuji apple sparking water and thought it was very refreshing. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be returning when I'm in the mood for some good ramen. read more

Pulled up to Tamashii Ramen in Astoria ready for battle Ordered the miso ramen w/ spicy chili paste--deep flavor, noodles with that perfect chew, egg yolk creamy like it owes me money. The charred chashu? That little flame kiss is the difference between "good" and "don't talk to me while I eat." Food came out fast, staff moved like ninjas, water refilled before I even thought about it, and the place looks exactly how serious ramen should feel. Affordable, authentic, no shortcuts. This spot gets respect.Soft lighting, wooden accents, and the gentle clatter of chopsticks create a cozy, lived-in feel. Conversations hum quietly in the background while noodles are slurped without judgment. read more

This placed is too good! I strayed from the beaten path and ordered basically everything aside from their ramen this time around and was pleasantly surprised - I got their spicy pork donburi, some takoyaki, gyoza and onigiri. The spicy pork Doburi was the star of the show with this pleasantly crunchy & spicy chili oil layered over it. The gyoza was a little bland, and the onigiri (although tasty and execellently seasoned) came empty and devoid of the shrimp I ordered it as. Cheers to a new forever customer! read more

I'm blessed to have this ramen place down the street from me. I love going solo for a quick lunch. Their lunch special pricing is a bonus. Great staff. read more

Tamashii Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Astoria, New York

Food 8/10 Quite surprised by how much I enjoyed the ramen. The miso ramen had a relatively thicker broth, nicely portioned chashu, eggs, bamboo shoots, and a thicker noodle. Usually, I prefer thinner noodles and light broth, and despite this bowl being the opposite, I enjoyed my meal. The agedashi tofu was also not bad, but not the best I've had Atmosphere 7/10 A very standard ramen shop interior. They had these electronic kiosks for ordering, which reminded me of Asia. Service 8/10 Efficient. read more

The food is amazing and the service is excellent. I always have a good time when I visit their establishment.

I have ordered takeout here before but this was my first time doing dine-in for dinner with my boyfriend. It's a very intimate setting with cool Japanese lanterns and lighting above head. Would not recommend for large groups but for 2-4 people would be great since it's a quiet and low key setting. No reservation needed at dinnertime Friday night but it was almost full when we walked in, no wait. We ordered the signature Tamashii ramen, unagi don and the okonomiyaki. Everything was delicious! Broth was flavorful. Portion sizes were good and the service was very quick. They also kept refilling my water frequently. Since I drink tons of water when I go out to eat, I definitely appreciate the attention to that during the meal. Great intimate place for date night or catching up with friends. It's a lively enough vibe with upbeat music but quiet enough to have a conversation with those around you. read more

Slightly better than Tamashii Blue, its counterpart in LIC. The broth is a little thicker and tastier. Noodles are classic thin round ramen noodles. Chashu was tender and fatty. Service was quick and nice. Busy atmosphere with a warm vibe but we were seated quickly without a reservation on a weekend. read more

Ambiance is awesome! Very warm and cozy :) Wait staff is attentive and always filled up our glasses of water. Takoyaki Verdict: Good! A little heavy on the batter but lots of good flavor, the lemon is a must! Miso Ramen Verdict: Good! The pork was delish but wish we got a little more :( noodles were perfect! Nice and chewy!! The ground meat on the bottom was ok. Overall great experience! Would go there again but would order different things from the menu. read more

Ordered: Kara Veggie Ramen (~$13): with shoyu broth, topped with onion, bok choy, carrot, mushroom, scallion, and egg Kaarage (~$9) Aya's take: I'm going to be honest, I wasn't eager to come back as there's nothing "special" about the ramen here and that could be because my options are limited since I don't eat pork, but I found myself here for dinner on a cold, rainy evening. We were seated right away as 2 people, ordered soon after, and our food hit our table within minutes. I went with the Kara Veggie Ramen and was immediately a bit disappointed that the noodles weren't the typical wavy noodles that typically go better with shio or shoyu-flavored broths. Aside from that, the straight noodles were cooked well and there was a good amount in the bowl. The bok choy was fresh and had a nice crunch and the egg was decent too. Since there's really no protein here, we got the Kaarage on the side. It lacked basic seasonings like salt and pepper but it was fried well and the spicy mayo on the side paired well with it. I admit I didn't leave feeling that satisfied but it was definitely filling and prices are reasonable. read more

Located right in the center of busy Austin Street, this gem was a great choice for delicious and filling ramen at very affordable prices. Before you enter, you'll find yourself staring at the wooden, cozy storefront that screams "comfort food". To start off, we had the kara-age and takoyaki which were good with a drizzle of lemon. However, the main star was my kara miso ramen with pork, which had a hearty miso soup base with a dab of spice sauce. There are also non-pork options such as the seafood yaki bowl, which my friend had. Despite the full house on a friday evening, the service was great and very attentive. We left with a full stomach and a warm soul. Highly recommend :) read more

Tamashii Ramen - Kara-age and Takoyaki - Ramen Near Me - Astoria, New York

Delicious ramen that has decent portion and reasonable price in the area. We went there for dinner and service was quick. You can also get beer, sake as you wish. I got the ramen with spicy miso soup and it was better than I expected- miso not overpowering the spice. The ambiance is nice for hanging out and catching up with friends as it's not noisy. Would go again! read more

Tamashii Ramen - Kara Miso Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Astoria, New York

This has long been my go-to ramen spot in Astoria, and since my first review 10 years ago I have to say I've really fallen in love with this place. I've tried almost every ramen on the menu here at this point, but the one I get most often has to be the Chasyu ramen, which is their signature ramen but with additional slices of pork piled in there. Whenever I order takeout from here I'm shocked not only at how fast it arrives, but always appreciate the way they pack the noodles separately from the broth so that it doesn't get all soggy and soak everything up. The few times I've dined in rather than ordered have been pleasant as well. It's a no frills counter with a few seats. A solid place to eat ramen alone, during lunch you'll see plenty of solo diners taking advantage of their lunch special deals. 10/10, no notes. read more

My flight from LaGuardia to Greensboro was cancelled. I got one of the last roms at a local hotel and set off on Yelp and an ordering app to find dinner! I ordered Tamashii and got a very good vegetarian ramen dish. I've had better Ramen all over New York City, the U.S., and of course, Japan, however this was definitely not average. I would order again if I was in the area, so I would recommend it. read more

I have to agree, Tamshii offers outstanding Raman and service. I ordered a Tantemen Raman full of broth and vegetables. For starters I ordered portatoe croquette and ice cream for dessert. This restaurant does everything right from customer service to checking proof of vaccines. The restaurant has nice artwork and tasteful art and interiors. i will be back read more

Since visiting NY, this is the ONLY restaurant we've gone to twice. We loved it the first time and it was even better the second time. The food is outstanding. The woman who works there, I'm guessing she's the owner is so nice. Upon entering, you're immediately seated and given enough time to look through the extensive menu. We never felt rushed, but the food comes out super quick. The restaurant is small, but doesn't feel cramped. The bathrooms are clean and cutely decorated. I really wish we lived in Astoria so we could frequent Tamashii Ramen regularly. read more

Very quick service I do highly enjoy here. The ambiance is very nice as well, many pictures of the food menu items hanging on the walls. Surprisingly, I was shocked by the overwhelming menu. Usually ramen restaurants I tend to go to only have so many items, so that's a plus. However, I only rated a 3 due to the food. It was very delicious however I feel that it lacked flavor. Even the additional chili oil was giving a sesame flavor. However my palate is different from others so I will still recommend to those who are trying ramen for the first time. read more

The staff were so nice, I say 10/10 for overall excellent service and food. read more

Right after movie, daughter wants Ramon , so we walk over here, ready to try this place again, total of 4 of us, only ordered 2 orders for the kids, and the server just bring over 2 cups of water, wifey is upset and asked the server if this is the way to service, the server confirmed that we only order for 2, so she is only giving 2 cups of water, if I don't get comfortable, how can I order more? And not with that kind of service attitude! We will not return to this kind of business!!!! read more

3.5 Stars Not sure if they advertise it, but, I believe they are "Korean style" ramen. The ramen dishes we ordered seem "fusiony" to me. They definitely have a style of their own when it comes to their broth. No traditional feel to their ramen IMO. Our server was friendly and attentive. The establishment has nice decor. read more

I've ordered carry out from this place about 15 times. Always the same very specific order: Veggie champon, no shrimp, less salty, less spicy. The order has been wrong three times. 1 time they added shrimp, 2 times they made it very spicy. I ignored it one time and reported it on two occassions. The mistake is not so much the problem as is their reaction to being informed of it. They tend to aggressively deny having made any mistake. The first time I had to send them photographs of shrimp in the dish despite the fact that I was going to return the dish anyway and was not even asking for a refund (I only alerted them because allergies can make this mistake dangerous). Most recently, when I called to inform them about the spice error, the hostess claimed that it is impossible to make the dish less spicy and it has never been made that way. When I informed her that I've had the dish prepared 12 times not spicy, she insisted this never happened and put the chef on the line. The chef proceeded to claim that they've never prepared the dish less spicy. Eventually I just asked "Why are you lying to me, man? I don't mind paying for the replacement" At which point there was a silence and he offered to remake the dish less spicy. I thanked him for that and told him I would stop by shortly. I stopped by and returned the incorrect order. At this point the hostess asked repeatedly if I had put the spices in the dish myself. I told them to keep the money, the tip, and the returned order but not to prepare a replacement. I explained that the mistake is not a big deal but the lies are. I have to be able to trust the person preparing my food and this bizarre gaslighting strategy is a bridge too far. Won't be back. Food 4 stars Customer Service 1 star Advice: 1- If ordering carry out check the food before you leave the restaurant. No amount of repetition on the phone will prevent an error. 2 - Paying in cash in person is discounted. I usually give it back as part of the tip but it still feels good to cut out the labor exploitative apps and credit card servicers. read more

Who doesn't love food that moves? Ha! I had the pleasure of experiencing bonito flakes. You just have to! Cool experience and delicious addition to many types of dishes. I got the fried chicken ramen. Ramen is always good. I did reach out of my comfort zone and tried the shrimp and squid pancake. At least I think that's what it was. It was good. Just try everything, don't ask what it is. read more

With such raving reviews I knew this was another ramen spot I had to try. I've been trying to find a time to try out this place for a while now! I ordered a Tamashi Ramen to go, and the menu device at the door was very easy to use - please note only card at the machine! The Tamashi Ramen was great! You can choose what kind of noodles you want (soft, firm), so I picked soft. If you've had Kyuramen, these noodles feel slightly more firm than those, not the softest. You can customize your toppings as well if you prefer but I stuck with the original - some pork, half an egg, seaweed, scallion. Portion size is ok, not the most full afterwards but alright. They bundle up your ramen and soup really well in the take out bag, and it was very hot and nothing spilled when I opened it back at home! Nice job for packaging! Looking forward to coming back to try other menu items! read more

Came in for a late lunch/early dinner. Got seated right away. The appetizers were enjoyable and were split between two people. We got the Agedashi Tofu, Avocado Salad, and Takoyaki balls. We added on the rice bowl, which was a bit less to my liking - Either too much soy sauce or another type of marinade, it appeared darker and had a slightly bitter taste. Service overall was great and fairly swift. Since not much people were there at that hour, we weren't kicked out after paying for our check. read more

Inside seating is nice & decor is cute. Wish the chairs had backs, but that's a personal preference for comfort. The agedashi tofu was tasty & the spicy miso ramen was good-nice thick noodles. The chasu pork in the ramen had nice flavor. I have heard the other food that is not ramen is subpar. read more

I went to Tamashii Ramen with some friends and was excited to try some Ramen . When you walk in, it has a great vibe and it's small but intimate. You will even see some posters from Anime shows like Dr.Stone and Inuyasha. I got the Shoyu Ramen which had Pork, Egg, seaweed, and soy sauce. It was delicious and the broth was so flavorful. read more

We've been excited to try this for a while and it was much more crowded than we expected when we came. We thought it was a low key spot but it was bustling! The prices are fair for NYC. About $13-16 a bowl of ramen and the portions are decent. We started with the ikura don and although it was not bad, I was fairly disappointed because it looked nothing like the pictures they posted on Yelp. The portion is no where the same as the pictures. Don't be fooled! The Kara ramen (spicy) and tamashi ramen were good and filling. The kara ramen was a bit thick and very salty. I found myself chugging a lot of water after. The tamashi ramen was nice and clean as it was described on the menu. Perfect for a not too heavy dinner on a cold day but I could've used a bit more flavor to it. The staff was friendly and nice and we didn't have to wait to long for a table! read more

I ordered through Grubhub and it arrived on time and everything was delicious. Food arrived nice and hot. I ordered the Katsu and Pork Bao along with Ramen. The Katsu did arrive very soggy which was disappointing. If you're ordering anything Katsu ask for sauce on the side. That was my mistake for not adding it in the notes. It was still delicious and enjoyable. The Bao was out of this world delicious. The pork was tender, juicy and the bun was so soft and sweet. By far my favorite. The ramen came dried with wet broth separately. It was actually really good. I'd definitely order again and again. read more

Stopped by for lunch with my boyfriend and a few other friends. We ordered takoyaki, ebi potato, a chicken katsu and 4 ramens. My kara veggie ramen was just ok. I'm not a big fan of pork broth and was disappointed that they didn't offer a chicken broth option. For a veggie broth, my kara veggie was light but slightly salty. Everyone else seemed to enjoy their food. Not sure if I would return for their veggie broth. read more

Came here with a group of 6 on a random Tuesday night and didn't have to wait for a table at all. Our group ordered a variety of ramen including okinomiyaki, raw squid, and cold noods. I recommend everything just because the broth is SO rich and even the raw squid and okinomiyaki were super crunchy and fresh. My friends actually ordered extra noodles after finishing their first serving because there was so much broth left and no regrets at all! Their noodles are fresh, bouncy, and just what you want in your noods. For a group of 6 and all the ramen we got, we only paid $25/pp with tips. Worth it! read more

Dined here today for lunch and I had a great experience! I always pass by this spot but never stopped in but glad I finally did. I loved the interior design of the restaurant, very festive? and warm. I ordered the fish katsu and it came with two large fillets, vegetables and rice. It was the perfect portion, not too much, not too little. They also gave me three sauces on the side and I was so happy about that. I love my sauces and many restaurants skimp out on sauce!!! The fish katsu was perfectly cooked, not too oily or too much breading. The vegetables were also great to have on the side to balance out the katsu. The service was also really great. Both the waitress and waiter? bus boy? were so attentive and prompt with their service. I will definitely be back to try their ramen! read more

I came here with a friend for dinner on a Friday night. They were pretty busy, but we were able to get seated immediately once the staff was done setting up all the take-out orders they had. We ordered takoyaki and the miso ramen. The takoyaki comes as an order of 4 pieces, which I felt was unusual since other places serve 6. Generally, they were good but really doughy. I wish they would have used bigger pieces of octopus given the size of the balls. My friend and I both ordered the miso ramen as our main dish. Warning to those who order this but our broth came out EXTREMELY HOT! We had to wait a few minutes before we could enjoy it. Even though the broth was hot, some of the toppings (i.e. egg) were cold in the center. It's likely they use the broth to heat up toppings left in the fridge. On the positive side, the noodles were cooked to perfection and al dente. This place has a very chill ambiance and I see a lot of friend groups coming in here. The staff were really nice. They do follow COVID precautions from the moment you enter. I also felt really comfortable on how far apart the tables were. read more

We randomly decided to dine at Tamashii Ramen not knowing about the great reviews, but after eating here, I'm confirming that they're right y'all When you enter, there is a kiosk to order from if you're doing take-out. Inside, there is a good amount of seating. There aren't many tables for big groups, but I imagine they can pull the small tables together if needed. They also do a good job at maintaing a good indoor temperature in this cold, cold weather. I took off my jacket and did not feel any draft whatsoever. There's a staircase in the back, but unsure if they have a second floor. The ambiance is also very nice, the inside is covered in anime action figures, very cute. Inside it's not too loud, there's some chatter in the background, but you can have a good conversation. Their music choice is also nice The service is also great, the server would frequently check-in and was very accommodating Prices are also very affordable, and they also have lunch specials. Great for students! Finally, onto the food. We were super hungry when we went in and left pretty satisfied. I got the Kara Miso ramen and it was nice overall, even without additional toppings. I do wish the broth was a bit more rich and that there were more noodles. As for the menu, I couldn't tell if they had meat/seafood alternatives to pork-based broth, but would've loved to see that, or the option to swap out pork for a different meat All in all stellar, and will recommend read more
