    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Jair M.

    Fantastic ramen, even better service, we were a little confused and it was our first time in the gentlemen helped us understand what ramen was what. When we got our plates it was delicious and good portion sizes. It was a little slow so it was just two other people in the a little quiet which was nice. Their Tonkotsu is amazing.

    While in the Lubbock area, I was looking for a ramen spot and came across this place--what a great find! I tried the tonkotsu ramen, and it was delicious. I also ordered some egg rolls, which were really tasty. The location is convenient, and the service was friendly and attentive. If I ever return to Lubbock, I'd definitely come back here.

    I wish I could leave a 3.75 star on this restaurant. The food is great ramen has lots of flavor and the fixings go great with it. If you want good ramen would recommend. My only complains are that It was a little expensive at 15 dollars a bowl. The service was alright we didn't talk much but he got the order out quick which was great. I'd say the atmosphere isn't the best, beat up seats and pretty dark.

    First time here. The lady behind the counter was wearing a mask for some reason and we couldn't hear or understand her. She finally pointed to the popular dishes listed on post it notes by the register. They could certainly improve the ordering process. I had the Cajun spicy ramen. This includes shrimp, a boiled egg, chopped green onions, corn, sausage and noodles in a wonderful spicy broth. I may never order anything else. It was hot both from the stove and the spices. My wife noticed a tear or two during the process, but I couldn't stop eating it. And there was plenty to take for leftovers. The spicy edamame was an excellent appetizer too. I would like a fountain drink option with ice, but it's not a deal breaker. 4 stars for the food.

    Thoughts on the poke bowl: - white rice was a bit hardened on some parts of it, like as if it was day old rice - probably won't get the seared ahi tuna again, it was just covered in too much seasoning and pepper The strawberry smoothie tasted so artificial and like Pepto Bismol.

    Very quick and friendly service. And the building is nicely decorated giving it a formal feel, while still Being causal. For the Poké bowls, I personally didn't like how big the chunks of seafood were, or the texture. But they do offer free extra rice! Also had the chicken kaarage and it was just chicken nuggets, and mostly fatty. Will have to try the ramen!

    The perfect comfort food located near Texas Tech campus. The curry ramen and tonkatsu ramen were both extremely flavorful and ingredients tasted fresh. The service and atmosphere are nothing special but the food is definitely worth the trip.

    OVERALL Hawaiian Poke & Ramen had good ramen, but I'd probably opt for poke next time. RATING BREAKDOWN Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Ambiance: 4 | Price: 4 PARKING Free parking in a plaza lot. LOCATION/AMBIANCE The restroom was clean. There were indoor booths and tables available. The only thing I suggest they do is minimize all the signage. Seems a bit complicated without needing to be. THE GRUB + regularly-seasoned edamame ($5) - my kids & I loved this snack! They season it nicely. + Curry ramen ($12.95) - really enjoyed this, but the flavor wasn't quite there + Tokatsu ramen ($12.95) - this had good flavor, but the pork was not as tender as we like + classic milk tea with crystal boba (since they were out of regular tapioca boba) $4.49 - it was good with nice, chewy boba LITTLE YELPER'S CLUB No kid's menu or sizes available. SERVICE The employees were very welcoming and brought our food out to the table as quickly as it was ready. MY FAVORITE PART... Being able to share a hot meal with my girls on a freezing day. At around 11:30AM on 12/23/2023 it was 12°F. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I agree with my daughters - wish there was a bit more flavor to the Tonkotsu and that the pork meat was more tender. TIP Order online for takeout.

    I was looking for something different for dinner. I love poke, and thought I'd give this place a shot. Ordered through Yelp, food was ready when I arrived. That's where the good part ended. I ordered a bowl with brown rice, spicy tuna, beef tataki, avocado, jalapeños, cucumbers, and fried wontons. When I got back to my hotel, I was a bit put off by the presentation. It was as if everything was dumped in one ingredient at a time with no thought. The rice was one big clump. The tuna tasted like it was from a can, but it was almost the consistency of baby food. There was barely any beef at all. The vegetables did taste fresh. With a lot of sauce, I finally ate some of the rice and veggies. But 80% was thrown away.

    Ordered to-go (during COVID) and really enjoyed this poke restaurant. I got a poke bowl with white rice, spring mix, cucumber, spicy tuna, and salmon. For the sauce I got Hawaii Poke Sauce and Spicy Mayo. My favorite part about this poke bowl is that you can add as many toppings as you want for no additional cost. I have never been to a poke place like this and normally you can rack up the price quite a bit by adding toppings. But NOT HERE! I got edamame, spicy crab, corn, and mango for my toppings, all free of charge. The service was okay. It may have just been because we walked in as a group of 5, but the staff seemed to be rushing us quite a bit when deciding what we wanted. As soon as we walked in and glanced at the menu they were rushing us along to start ordering. I wish they would have been a bit more patient, but besides that, the poke was good and I would recommend it!

    Yanagi Ramen is a solid addition to the area and a place I'd definitely return to. While it wasn't…read morethe most mind-blowing ramen I've ever had, it was genuinely good--especially for the location--and clearly hits the spot when you're craving something warm and comforting. I really appreciated the variety of vegetarian options, which felt thoughtfully done rather than like an afterthought. My bowl was flavorful and well-balanced, though worth noting: even after asking for heat, it wasn't spicy at all, so spice lovers may want to temper expectations. That said, the experience had a bit of a rough start. We arrived right at the posted opening time (11am) and ended up waiting outside in the freezing cold, unsure if they were actually open. We had to call to confirm, and only then did someone come to unlock the door. Once inside, I asked for hot tea--pretty standard at most Japanese spots--only to be told they were completely out, which was surprising. All things considered, Yanagi Ramen delivers a dependable bowl with good vegetarian choices and a clean, modern space. A few opening-hour kinks and missing basics kept it from being great, but the food itself was enjoyable, and I'd happily come back--just not for spice, and hopefully next time with hot tea ready to go.

You can tell it's been cooked with care because every bite tastes authentic and comforting. The noodles have the perfect texture, the pork is tender, and the toppings all work so well together. Easily some of the best ramen I've had in town. Their sushi is also really fresh and well made, which makes the menu even better. The restaurant itself is very clean, relaxing, and has a great atmosphere. Friendly staff and consistently amazing food every time!
