(4 out of 5 stars) The spicy tonkotsu ramen--layered with both beef and chicken--lands confidently in "done right" territory. The broth is rich and well-balanced, carrying heat without overwhelming the depth that good tonkotsu demands. Proteins are tender, thoughtfully portioned, and clearly not an afterthought. Add to that a pleasant, well-kept location and genuinely friendly staff, and the experience feels polished without trying too hard. A strong bowl in a comfortable setting--absolutely worth a return visit.

Really cute place across from multiple hotels in the area. We easily walked from our hotel and enjoyed our meal. The poke was fresh and delicious. Ramen was good as well. Great local meal in an area full of chain restaurants.

I stopped by Toki on a quick trip through Cookeville. It was cool and rainy, so ramen was appealing to me. We arrived at the end of the lunch rush and got seated right away. It took a little while to get orders in, though food was served quickly upon ordering. Service was mixed - slow at first, good in the middle, and slow to get checked out. I had the miso ramen, the kids shared a salmon poke bowl and some of my ramen. The miso ramen was full of fresh vegetables, good broth, fried tofu, and good noodles. The poke bowl had fresh toppings, though the rice was mixed quality and the salmon not as fresh as I'd like for poke. It wasn't bad, just not as smooth, consistent texture and slightly more fragrant than the fresh stuff. When I am back in Cookeville, could come back for a bowl of ramen, but will pass on the poke.

Slow in mid-afternoon, had the place to ourselves. Pleasant and cool on a hot afternoon. service was univrusive and definitely did not feel rushed. My custom Pokè Bowl was very good. Intend to return for a Ramen bowl when the weather gets colder.

White yum yum sauce. 2 out of 10

Ask a poke bowl place the options are limited. And this is the first poke place that I've been too that doesn't have masago as an option. And also they have "shredded cheese" instead.....? Like what, and why? The yum yum sauce is nasty. Looks like mayo with seasoning in it. Not the usual orange color. And the ponzu sauce taste wierd. Not sure what's going on but if you like your spicy tuna in the usual square cut chunks. Look elsewhere because here you get the mushy cat food scrapings that they scrape off silver skin of the tuna. Also no marinated tuna option and wierd toppings for a poke bowl place. Mushrooms cheese and broccoli just sounds crazy to have on the menu fore poke. 3/5

Spicy Miso Ramen with Udon noodles, spinach, tofu, broccoli, asparagus, corn, and soft boiled egg.

Toki is the reason I choose Cookeville as my halfway stop on my way to Memphis 3 or 4 times a year. Because there are easily, less congested on-off stops nearby, but I look forward to a bowl of their Spicy Miso ramen during my entire drive. It's my "reward" at the end of a day of driving. So delicious. The decour is pretty bland... but I don't care. The ramen is delicious.

This place was delicious, we stopped in and the service was super fast. It smelled so good in there and was a cute little restaurant. The ramen bowls are hugeeee for a great price. We both appreciated how its build your own so you can really choose what you like. The gyoza was absolutely delicious too. Great place!

I really wanted to like this place and I'm not saying I won't give it another try, but right now I'm highly disappointed. The restaurant is nice, clean, and spacious. The atmosphere was rather quiet, with a few parties eating in. I was greeted, but then somewhat rushed to order which I declined to order at that time because it was my first time visiting and I needed to browse the menu for a little. I ordered to take it Togo. Their packaging for takeout was awesome. I assumed they would mix everything prior to, but you were able to add the base once you reached your destination. (This May actually be common at other places if you take it Togo, but it was my first experience having it packaged this way) lol I was conflicted....it's either get a poke bowl (something I've never had) or ramen (something I love). I went with ramen, because why not give this place a try to see if it lives up to some of the other ramen establishments I've had that were great. Ramen.....ehhhh it was ok! Not a huge fan of the broth. The broth lacked flavor tremendously. There was a handful of spinach leaves as if I were planning to eat a salad that I wasn't used to having. Once I lifted the spinach leaves I found corn kernels, this was a major raised eyebrow moment...I've never had corn in my ramen. Kinda odd but okay! For the protein I chose chicken, which were two grilled chicken pattys placed on top. A slither of seaweed that didn't crunch and 2 eggs that seemed to have been sitting for quite some time that didn't ooze when cut into. (I honestly hope I don't get sick)!!! I also ordered a bao bun appetizer that's prob the best thing I ordered tonight. The meat inside the bao bun didn't have much flavor, but the sauce provided for dipping made up for the lack of tastiness of the meat. Based off the other reviews it seems like this place is a hit, but for me not as much. It was worth the try. I suggest you go and try for yourself in hopes you'll have a better experience.

Spicy Ramen with Pork....so ono
Bryan H.

Ramen very ono...takes me back to my Hawaii days...I'm pulling out atmosphere, cleanliness, etc out of the equation or it would bring down the score...5 stars on just the food...there's only so much you can do with an old Mexican restaurant joint. The Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen base...so very good, the ingredients fresh. Service was friendly. Passion Fruit Tea. I hope this place lasts, you locals need to come try it out and give them some business before it's gone....keep them going.

K Pocha - Kimchi jigae  sooo good!

I love Korean food. There's a few regular spots that I usually pick in Knoxville. K-Pocha is a…read morerelatively new entrant in this space. So, I was curious if this would be a new top contender. To me, it's not quite as good as the other options. The beef bulgogi bowl was pretty good and the egg on top was nicely done. But, I'd rank the taste/flavor as not as good the Gogi Korean and Won Korean. Also, no banchan (Korean appetizers) like Gogi and less appealing interior atmosphere. There was a smell of rank cooking oil that seemed to permeate the dining area. That bothered me the whole meal and made it hard to enjoy the food. Also, comparing K-Pocha to competitors, it's more expensive. If I am paying more, I expect it to be better. Service was decent and prompt. So, no issues there. Just not my favorite place for Korean food. Overall: It's just ok.

The food was pretty good! I think the chicken was fried perfectly and the white snow onions are…read morevery much something not within my normal ordering but its totally worth a try! The cheese pull on the fried rice was awesome and the cheese fries have that artificial cheese flavor in the best way possible (like a cheese curl or whale crackers). Our server was more than happy to explain any of the food to us and was on top of our drinks. The decorations are pretty cool too and they play a lot of popular kpop music as well. Overall a pretty great first visit for an adventurous eater! :D
