Such a hidden treat. The restaurant doesn't seem to be well known but their service and flavors are well worth the trip. The staff is friendly and super helpful if you've never tried items. The ramen broths are super flavorful and cozy. And meats so tender they instantly fall apart. Even the spicy broth was delicious! We'll be coming back here for sure! read more

Maybe it isn't fair to base a review on take-out alone, but that's what this review is about. One dish, one experience, one take-out. Japanese chicken with straight ramen noodles. I expected homemade noodles and perhaps they were, but I could tell little difference in the quality of the noodles as compared to pre-packaged noodles. One strike. The broth was so salty we couldn't eat the meal that we planned to split. I know when you're working with miso and soy, salt is part of the equation. If you're wanting to avoid salt, or at least have a reasonable amount of salt, this is not your place. The chicken that topped the noodles was flavorful and cooked to perfection. All in all, I could have made this dish as presented, just as easily at home. Sorry guys. Not impressed. read more

Ordered Tonkotsu Ramen for delivery & I was amazed at how delicious the broth & noodles were. Only reason I rated 4 stars instead of 5, was the ajitama didn't live up to my experience of what ajitama should be. read more

This was my first time eating at Mitaka at the recommendation of my friend who I was with, and who often says it's the best place for ramen in the area. I was not disappointed. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere to it, spacious and decorated with kitschy Japanese posters and figurines. We were told that we could sit anywhere we liked. We started out with an order of dumplings and an order of crispy squid - both tasty and very generous portions. Now for the ramen. I ordered the spicy seafood ramen and asked for the udon noodles as a sub. I was impressed with the depth of the flavor profile of the broth and is one of the best I have ever had. It was also spiced at the perfect level for me. The udon noodles were delicious and perfectly cooked. In order to score full points, I would want to see the following addressed: for a seafood ramen it was a disappointing portion of seafood (basically 2 muscles, 2 shrimp and 2 squid rings); I would prefer it if the egg was more soft than hard boiled; and I was not expecting a $2 surcharge for the udon noodles (when I asked to sub the waitress said ok and did not mention the price increase). Overall was very impressed and will definitely be back, though will also try one of the other ramen options for comparison. read more

Last week, I took my father out for ramen at Mitaka Japanese Ramen House . We both really enjoyed our meal. This was our first visit, so I was excited to check the place out. We walked in and we were greeted immediately and told to sit anywhere. Service was good throughout our visit. We started out with some pork belly steam buns & karaage chicken. For our mains we ordered one bowl of miso ramen and one bowl of spicy miso ramen. Our steam buns and chicken came out quickly. Both items looked good. The pork belly was nicely seasoned and very tender. The karaage chicken had a decent crisp on it and the dipping sauce was one point. Our ramen came out next and looked amazing. The broth had great flavor and texture. The jamy egg was perfect too. We both enjoyed our ramen. Overall, we both really liked our meal. The food was tasty, service was quick, and the location was convenient. We will definitely be back soon. read more

Good quality food? Friendly staff. A few dollars over priced. Don't order a beverage. See attached photos and you will see what I mean. All in all a very good meal. Two bowls of soup and two iced teas was $65. That plus a tip is a little bit much for that type of food. read more

This place is bomb! I love it we go there all the time it's wonderful experience I would highly recommend

Came here for some ramen! I got the Tori Paitan ramen and I got to taste some of the curry rice bowl too! I like the noodles - they were chewy and not over cooked. The curry was flavorful though more curry would be appreciated! We also got the geso karaage. It's squid tentacles which is honestly the best part to be eaten fried! read more

We ordered the Miso ramen and the Tantannem ramen, which are both Miso-based. I would recommend the Miso ramen for first-timers but not the Tantannem considering it is a more flavorful and a tad spicier. I love the way the restaurant is decorated, lots of anime figures and the area was overall really clean. The service was also good, the server was attentive and wrapped up our leftovers neatly. I would definitely ask the server for recommendations if you've never had authentic Japanese ramen. Give this place a try! * Miso Ramen 8/10, Tantannem Ramen 8/10, Takoyaki 7/10 read more

It is always a pleasure dining here. Whether for dinner or lunch, it's always been excellent. The people & service are kind, the place is clean and comfy, & the food is great. I can get in & out during lunch break without rushing which is a big bonus for me. read more

The service was nice, the server was lovely and took care of us. I enjoyed the meal I had and the appetizers. For appetizers I had karage chicken, spring rolls, katsu chicken bun. For the meal, the hubby and I had Duck Ramen. Everything was good, everything and would definitely come again, I will also tell people about this place as well :) this place was recommended to me to enjoy for my birthday, so I decided to dine here on my birthday. I have no regrets. The decorations in the restaurant were nice (please be respectful, and don't touch any of their decorations, anime figures, signs etc, they also have signs not to, but I'm sure you all will know not to touch something that's not yours) This place was out of my way but I don't have an issue with going there whenever I can. read more

02.21 Came in with kiddos after spending a few hours at the beach. They were HUNGRY and wanted noodles. We're small eaters so only ordered pork buns, a bowl of miso ramen and extra noodles. I was not impress. Pork buns had slices of pork with more fat than meat. Noodles was the thick kind which I don't like but the kids devoured theirs. The broth I didn't care for either, I prefer chicken broth and should have ordered the Tori. Would like to give this place another try. Down side; only had one server to a full restaurant. Waited 25 min for our bill. read more

Local ramen lover approves of this spot whole heartedly! Moving back to Bradenton from Portland, I was weeping internally thinking of the lack of real ramen or pho I was about to enter. To my surprise I found this spot 15 minutes from my house and it is a dream! Super delicious ramen, gyoza, shumai, and more! I've had nearly everything on the menu and highly recommend the classic Tonkatsu ramen for newbies. I just had the Duck Ramen for my birthday and have a new favorite! YUM For non-ramen folks, definitely order the steamed buns! The sweet potato and cucumber are crunchy and tasty. Sake list is long and gorgeous and service is 5 stars. Not much more to want! Portions are massive and prices are fair. Go go go! read more

First time here. Our server, Brooke, was so nice to answer our many questions. With several choices of the bao buns, we chose the pork belly. Great choice! The seaweed salad was so vibrant and crunchy. Loved the sesame on it. Veggie roll appetizer so crispy with a tasty dipping sauce. Minced pork rislce bowl was served piping hot. Broccoli was still crisp-not over done. Pork had just the right level of spiciness. Rice well-cooked and plentiful. Th interior is well decorated and welcoming. We will definitely return. read more

Definitely a MUST in Bradenton and you will definitely go home with a food coma! The service was fantastic, the staff was friendly and they definitely did not bombard you with check ins.

Oh man. What food. Definitely gotta come in and have some ramen and some Calamari tentacles. Tonkatsu is the best here for sure. Everything is on point. The place is spotless and the staff are attentive and quick to serve. Prices are reasonable as well. Figure about $15-20 per person. Bottom line: This joint is terrific. A real treat in the otherwise boring Bradenton food scene. read more

In need of ramen while down in FL and found this place. I would say 3.9 overall. Ramen was solid. Chashu was a little different than what I am used to after living in Japan for a few years.

I found Mitaka around Covid times years ago and have been going back since when I want to enjoy my favorite ramen this side of the state of Florida. The other place that makes vegetarian ramen I love is Domu in Orlando & Sabu Ramen at the Joinery food hall in Lakeland, Florida. There are two places in Tampa where I go to for ramen which are nice, Dosunco and Otsuka Ramen but Mitaka by far is my #1 and I gladly make the 65 mile plus round trip drive there when I crave that happy state that good ramen transports me to. I don't know how yet, but they manage to give their vegetarian ramen that umami creaminess that pork bone broth ramen lovers enjoy in Tonkotsu ramen. That is no small feat! I also start with their Tofu Steamed buns and ask for a side of Sriracha and spicy mayo to balance out the sweet hoisin sauce they use in the steamed buns for the crispy tofu. I like that they carry Pokka brand unsweetened oolong black tea as well. Mitaka is worth the trip, worth the detour and it's also nice to know that they're on a main road in Bradenton that leads to the Anna Maria Island beach zone so it's quite a convenient location they're at. Also look into Kefi Streetside Café and Oscura Café for phenomenal food and drink in the area. Mitaka closes on Tuesdays. read more

Absolutely the best Ramen I've had in Florida. Ordered the Miso Ramen, Gyoza and Pork Belly Buns. The Ramen has delicious Pork Belly in it with Corn and Bean sprouts just like when I lived in Japan. Service was outstanding and of course could not have ramen with out Beer. Defiantly recommend if your ever in Bradenton FL read more
