It was Easter Sunday. Apr 5, 2026. This was my first visit to TDLLO Ramen & Sushi. There was a…read morecocktail bar and a sushi bar. I opted for a table (not the booth). The decor included dark wooden furniture, hardwood floors, door curtains for kitchen, and a ceiling lamp in the shape of a fish. On each table was a pale bottle with a small spout and a large stopper. This was for the black sauce, and the first time I have seen black sauce provided at tables in anything other than the small transparent bottle with double-spout cap. Next to the kitchen doorway was a black board announcing "What's New". The menu is printed on black-colored pages bound by black leather cover, which matched the black uniforms of the staff. I ordered my usual ramen: tonkotsu. It was served with a renge and a fork, the latter for those uncomfortable with using chopsticks. That didn't apply to me. I put the fork to the side and used the wooden chopsticks. The tonkotsu had three thick pieces of chasu, lots of menma slices, some kikurage strips, and a soft-boiled egg served in two halves. Though a little saltier than I would like, the broth was still delicious and complimented the food well, especially the chasu. It had a mild spiciness that caused slight irritation to my throat, but otherwise was worth consuming the entire bowl. It was about 11:10am when I arrived. Besides myself, there was one other party of two. The cocktail bar had two large TVs, one playing CNN and the other playing a sports program. The volume level was barely a whisper. Most of the time, I didn't hear anything. By 11:45am, two more parties of two showed up. The atmosphere was quiet the entire time, and definitely a great place to relax and enjoy a meal during lunch time. As I was leaving, I took a look at the outdoor dining area. It is housed in a patio next to the building. It has plenty of seating and is almost enclosed but for a cased doorway. I was impressed that TDLLO is accommodating to its customers during rain or shine (unlike Noodles Blvd in Cary). I returned on Jul 3, 2026, this time with a friend. We chose a booth and were served by a young lady Lexi. My friend and I ordered veggie ramen and shoyu ramen respectively. Had I paid attention to the picture in the menu, I would not be surprised when the shoyu ramen was served. It had two thick slices of chasu, a soft-boiled egg cut in two halves, lots of corn kernels, slices of fish cake and menma. Essentially, it was tonkotsu ramen with more ingredients. The pork broth tasted saltier than the tonkotsu's but without the mild spiciness of the latter. The saltiness was also apparent in my friend's veggie ramen. The shoyu ramen I had at S.E.A Ramen & Asian Kitchen (Knoxville, TN) had a different broth. It was shoyu, not pork bone, and the flavor wasn't as strong. In contrast, TDLLO's shoyu ramen had a much richer flavor. The saltiness didn't ruin the dining experience. Like the last visit, there was plenty of seating. The quiet atmosphere was conducive for conversations without having to raise our voices. Customer service was smooth. Lexi made sure we were pleased with everything. As we were leaving, a male staff gave us a polite farewell. My friend was impressed with not only the food but also the restaurant's decor. Once again, TDLLO Ramen & Sushi has my recommendation.

The place was clean and so were the menus. Unfortunately there weren't that many diverse options for sushi, my partner isn't a big fan of tuna and likes salmon but there weren't many salmon rolls.

This wasn't our favorite sushi as all of the fish tasted very fishy and maybe not as fresh. The salmon in the bento was good though. We did not like the Subaru roll at all, extremely fishy and the daikon enhanced that flavor. We even tried squeezing lemon on our fish but it didn't help too much. The screaming o and piano were okay. The rolls also weren't rolled the best, especially the California. Completely fell apart when you picked it up.

The staff was incredibly friendly, offered excellent recommendations, and checked on us regularly without being intrusive. Our food came out surprisingly fast after ordering, which was a nice bonus. The restaurant was very clean, including the bathrooms, which says a lot about how well they maintain the entire place. The music was at the perfect volume, and the lighting and overall ambience created a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere. The food was excellent from start to finish. The sushi was fresh and delicious, with the Monster Roll easily being my favorite. The hibachi steak was cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and seasoned just right. The crab rangoons were the best I've ever had--crispy, flavorful, and generously filled. Even the kids loved their meals and cleaned their plates, which is always a huge win. On top of everything else, the prices offered great value for the quality of the food, service, and overall experience. If you're looking for outstanding sushi, delicious hibachi, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend OKOME. We're already looking forward to coming back again very soon!

It's imitation. Many imitation crab contains wheat. Again - ask ask ask. Guess what? It does contain wheat. So they served us both of our allergens. The manager came over and explained the hibachi they served us also contained wheat. And he blamed the waitress. When we explained that it was not her fault but the kitchen's he said he'd go ask the "chef" for his explanation. He returned and told us that the crab roll has gluten in the mayo too. He wasn't sympathetic or understanding of the severity but did go right back and added GF to several menu items that may or may not be gluten free The ambiance in the restaurant is too loud.

DO NOT EAT HERE! A woman came in who asked if there was only chicken in the pot stickers like the menu said and in reality there is pork as well she had been eating pot stickers with pork in them for a month she asked for verification that there was pork after finding out there was which is against her religion but it was not listed on the menu. This restaurant while it is good is a complete scam towards the people that work there. Workers do NOT get paid by the restaurant! They will lie about your money and are also taking YOUR money when you order to go.. to pay for a new system for them!! This restaurant is also extremely illegal.. one time I was in there and a woman was being interviewed but over heard she did not have a ssn... a PART OWNER asked her to take someone else's. This business needs to be shut down it is all a scam. read more

We've been to Thai Café several times now. Two times for take-out, one time for eat-in. Take-out was good - I had the Pad Thai once (tasted fishy, but otherwise good), and another time I had a broccoli and chicken dish (again with the fishiness - I know fish sauce is a staple ingredient in Thai cooking, but is broccoli and chicken SUPPOSED to taste like fish?). Both times I thought it was a little expensive. BUT the time we ate there it was lunch time and they had I thought a really good lunch special menu - less than $10 for a lemon-curry chicken dish, coconut soup (best part of the meal) and we split egg roll appetizer (second best part of the meal). The entrée itself was fine. I work nearby so I would definitely go back for lunch. read more

The atmosphere of this restaurant is really nice - I like the bright walls and the roomy layout. The food is great, but sometimes they seem to skimp on some things. For example, one time I ordered the eggplant curry noodle bowl, and I literally counted 4 small chunks of eggplant in the entire (very large) bowl. Everything always tastes great, I won't deny that. But I think there are other Thai restaurants in the area that are more authentic and more generous in their portions. read more

Love their food. Tasty and reasonably priced with a comfy, relaxing atmosphere. I've never had a bad experience here. I regularly order takeout. The chicken noodle bowl is delicious, though I don't understand why they include the lettuce when ordered for takeout since it gets mushy, but it's easy enough to ask them to leave it off. The pad thai is also a favorite of mine. The staff is very friendly. You won't regret visiting. read more
