Great stop and quick bite to eat as the little man wanted ramen again. Food was amazing and fresh. We ordered 4 ordered of the crispy spring rolls lol yup I know but it was so good as well as an order of the karaage chicken. The pot stickers were also simple yet amazing. Staff here was very kind and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place was nicely decorated and love all the dog decorations throughout the restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Would definitely come back for another quick bite when in the area. Love it here. read more

We love tacos and we love ramen, and were surprised that we had never heard of this spot with excellent reviews and lots of vegetarian options until recently. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came on a Sunday evening and about half the small restaurant was filled - the space is super cute, with an inviting dark blue color scheme and cute posters and photos of inspirational quotes and dogs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered the Tofu and Eggplant taco and Mushroom and Zucchini taco to start - both were delicious. The mushroom and zucchini one actually had slightly more flavor, but the sauces on both were really tasty with good contrast in flavor, and the veggies were fried just right. For mains I got the Vegan Miso ramen with egg noodles and my husbans got the Vegan Spicy Kimchi ramen with egg noodles. I LOVED my ramen - the broth was deeply savory, the corn added nice pops of sweetness, and I really enjoyed the soy patty - it was chewy and had a great bite. My husband also enjoyed his ramen and said it was one of the best in the city - the kimchi flavor was very different than any ramen I've tried before. Service is good and overall I will definitely come back to Taco & Ramen and maybe try a new item. Yum! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Has such a comfortable and welcoming vibe here with the chairs, layout, staff, decor, and everything in between.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]That alone makes it a very cozy spot when getting some ramen to warm up on a cold day.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have a variety of taco and ramen choices, as well as boba tea and other beverages. Tried the tonkatsu ramen: tasty broth, fair amount of noodles, and the pork, egg, and other veg was good. Shrimp tempura taco was tasty and had a nice creamy aioli sauce drizzled on. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Both taco and ramen are pretty good, and the atmosphere makes it great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Thanks read more

Was supper hungry after the Philadelphia Eagles parade. I got a table for 3 and chose this place specifically because I knew it wouldn't be over run by hungry college kids! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small spot on south street and when you walk in you immediately feel welcomed![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Walls are dark navy blue with cute positive affirmations a long the tables against the walls to your right. It was dim and ambiance was Valentine appropriate![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Food: pan fried pork gyoza immaculate! With a cute heart shape carrot. They also have this ginger, garlic oil dipping sauce for the gyoza but she informed me it's for everything! I used this to my advantage with my edamame. Yummy! My Ramen was so so so good! I got tan tan noodles spicy organic ground beef, bamboo shoots scallions bean sprouts. Amazing pork bone broth. I couldn't get enough of this food and how fast and well prepared it was. If you're on South street and hungry for some good Ramen I highly recommend. I didn't get a chance to grab a taco but I have high hopes for it being everything I tasted was so delicious read more

Taco & Ramen - Smoked Eel - Vegan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The shrimp tacos we had were so delicious, that we ended up getting another order at the end. However, we really only ordered the 2nd order bc our ramen really lacked protein. The ramen that my husband and kids ordered has 2 extremely thin sliced of pork in it and mine had maybe a tbsp of the ground meat in it. It also really lacked different types of veggies that most ramen places provide (corn, bamboo, mushrooms, etc). Don't get me wrong, the broth itself was delicious though. I just really wish I got more than mostly noodles and bean sprouts. Service was really nice. She came often and made sure our waters were constantly filled. read more

Discovered Taco & Ramen last night for dinner with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by the fantastic Shrimp Tempura Tacos, delicious Japanese soda drinks and boba, and yummy ramen. I'm a shrimp tempura lover and will be back for the tacos! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The environment of the restaurant itself is very cozy and cute inside! Great for a hangout or date.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was also pleasantly surprised by the holiday goodie bags they handed out for free--I've never encountered that type of customer appreciation and thoughtfulness. It had a cute Japanese keychain and dum dums inside. For me, 5 stars! read more

The perfect place to go when your group can't decide on a cuisine! Just like the name says, this restaurant has a wide selection of tacos AND ramen!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant itself is cozy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It can only seat maybe 25 people, so don't come with a big group.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But it's perfect for a date night or group of 4.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]A clean, modern space off the calamity that can be South Street, Taco & Ramen offers authentic flavors with positivity (you'll see when you get here what I mean by positive uplift). Fun music and relaxed ambience for a Friday lunch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For those also sensitive to or allergic to gluten: While the menu currently doesn't state it, there are gluten free taco options here. You can get a triple taco meal with soft corn tortilla and sautéed (not fried) options like shrimp, zucchini and/or mushrooms with a gluten free sauce. The staff are very friendly, approachable and caring about your dining experience. They're still investigating the best version of a gluten free noodle for ramen that is healthy for digestion. The fact that they care shows the chef's integrity and pride in the food they serve. And the boba is spot on. They know what they're doing. read more

Taco & Ramen - GF Sautéed Zucchini and Mushroom Tacos (3) - Vegan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

We tried the mayu ramen and spicy kimchi ramen which were both quite good. The spicy kimchi ramen is not super spicy so there's no need to worry in terms of spice tolerance. I'm not the biggest fan of their egg - the yolk part seemed sort of solid and chunky at parts so maybe slightly overdone? Shrimp tempura taco was as expected. Service was quick. read more

Taco Ramen was such a pleasant surprise. I ordered the Mayu Ramen, and it was absolutely amazing. The pork bone broth with Mayu oil had such a rich, deep flavor, and every bite melted in my mouth. The roasted pork, Chashu, was tender and was a good amount. the crispy garlic chips added the perfect crunch, and the seasoned boiled egg brought everything together. I finished every drop because just couldn't stop!! I also got the pork gyoza, which was incredibly delicious with a memorable flavor that I'd definitely come back for. What really stood out was how accommodating they were. Most of the places we initially wanted to go were fully booked, but Taco Ramen made sure to fit us in, which I truly appreciated. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A fun little detail I loved was the mugs they served the tea in. It had llamas with a quirky twist, plus other animals like a tiger, which mine had as it was a cute touch.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was excellent, attentive, friendly, and welcoming. The staff even encouraged us to come back next time we're in the area, and honestly, I will! Also it's byob. So expect that before coming! read more

We called ahead on Valentine's day a half hour before and were seated right when we arrived for 3 of us. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a small dining area but I felt it was cozy and beautifully decorated.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We were given menus and our orders taken right away. They have all different kinds of ramen but I expected more of a selection of tacos since its in the name. I ordered the pork gyoza and the traditional ramen. We all had hot ginger tea to drink since they do not serve alcohol. The tea is served in the cutest mugs! The gyoza came out with this sauce to dip we loved with garlic and ginger. My friend ordered edamame and dipped it in the sauce too. The ramen was huge and delicious! The waitress was very attentive. I would definitely come back when Im in the area for a warm comforting meal. read more

Taco & Ramen - Miso Ramen - no veggies - Vegan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This place was SOOO cute. The stairs down to the bathroom were plastered with dog and cat cartoons. These people love tacos ramen dogs and cats. Who says these things shouldn't go together??? The food was very good. We both got ramen. Though admittedly I don't remember which is one, only that I added corn. My husband got the coffee boba with bubbles and coffee jellies and that was interesting. The waitress was super nice. I fully recommend this restaurant unless you have a mobility problem... Because the bathroom is downstairs and you WILL have to pee after boba and ramen. Maybe get the taco if you have to find other pee arrangements? read more

We had boba tea, dumplings, spring rolls and ramen- so delicious. The service is wonderful and we will come back again

I obviously came here because I was craving falafel & borscht.... I kid, I kid. But one thing I'm not kidding about is tacos and ramen being among two of my favorite food dishes ever, so when I saw them combined in one restaurant I was instantly intrigued and ready to indulge. Still I had my uncertainities when it came to trying to figure out if this would be a successful fusion of the two, or a fusion confusion that failed while trying to bank on putting two viral foods together.But after first bite I'm happy to call this one a winner! With tacos and ramen you definitely expect to see a lot of meat-heavy items on the menu, and their were indeed some notable staples. But it was also good to see a plentiful assortment of vegan and vegetarian options making a good spot to share with thse friends. I also appreciated that tacos could be ordered by the single or trio, making it easy to combo up with a bowl of ramen to satisfy your curiosity of both. For tacos, a birria special and a grilled chicken taco were the only familiar options that you'd expect to see. But I appreciated the Asian fusion of the shrimp tempura taco and loved that it was the vegetarian tacos that really shined and the fried zucchini and mushroom taco that I ordered was a serious banger! For ramen, I was craving something familiar with an extra kick, and the spicy kimchi ramen with charsu roast pork, a seasoned boiled egg and all the veggies delivered that and then some! T & R also has bubble tea on the menu, and the honeydew option was the perfect thing to wash it down with. Toss in the usual Asian apps like takoyaki and gyoza, and interesting options like an Italian egg roll with all the hoagie fillings, and you have plenty to enjoy! read more

My partner and I were looking to try a new spot on South Street and found Taco & Ramen on Yelp and immediately walked over.

I had the shoyu ramen and really enjoyed it- the broth was delicious, the noodles were cooked perfectly, but the pork was a little tough for my liking. We cannot wait to come back and explore the menu more! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute spot on South St, decorated with a lot of dog pictures / signs and comfy chairs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu is vegetarian and vegan friendly, with options clearly noted. It's like a fancy fast casual restaurant with the kitchen sectioned off in the back. We had shrimp tempura and tofu/eggplant tacos, and they were lightly tempura battered. They were tasty, but we thought they could use some slaw. The ramens were also large and pretty good. I didn't see fish cake add ons, which made me a little sad. I'd be interested in trying more kinds of tacos and apps next time. With the appetizer + 2 ramens and 2 individual tacos, it only came out to like $60, which isn't so bad, and the service was QUICK. We were in and out in an hour. read more

Service was kind and prompt. I think the current online ratings are overstating this place, and likely because they have both Mexican and Japanese. Raters reward variety. The shrimp tempura tacos were good. The shrimp could have been crunchier. But the composition was good with the toppings and spicy mayo. The Mayu Ramen was OK, but not incredible. I found the broth too be flavorful, but not intensely so. The charsiu pork was a bit chewy and not perfectly tender. Overall, I think the food is good, but not incredible. If you want to be able to order both Mexican and Japanese, this is not a bad choice. read more

Taco & Ramen - Shrimp Tempura Tacos - Vegan Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Small cute place on South Street offering two completely different tastes - as can be seen by its name We both went with Ramen. They were similar as to what was in them (pork - bean sprouts etc) but the broths and some minor items were different. One broth was pork, the other chicken and the tastes were different as well as very good. There are a choice of 6 ramens with the last two noted as spicy. We had #'s 3 & 4. With a very good hot Honey Citrus & Ginger Tea and a soda the bill before tax and tip was around $33.00. Worth checking out if you're in the area. read more

The thing I appreciate most about Taco & Ramen is that it has something for most people: soup, salad, tacos, ramen, all with vegetarian and some vegan options. We started with the Italian Egg Roll (homemade Italian hoagie egg roll with spicy mayo), which was interesting and tasty. I greatly enjoyed the Tofu & Eggplant Taco (soft flour tortilla, fried tofu, fried eggplant, fresh salsa, red cabbage, sweet onion sauce, cilantro, vegan spicy mayo). My fellow diner wished the Shrimp Tempura Taco (soft corn tortilla, fried shrimp tempura, fresh salsa, red cabbage, cilantro, eel sauce, spicy mayo) had a bit more zing. Overall, nice taco offerings, but not the best tacos you're going to get in the city. Likewise with the ramen: I enjoyed the Spicy Kimchi Ramen (spicy miso and pork bone broth, kimchi, roasted pork (chashu), bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, chopped scallion, sesame seeds, seasoned boiled egg), especially the seasoned egg, which they nailed (not always a given at ramen shops!) and the chashu and kimchi was delicious, but I wanted it to be spicier (yes, I added the spicy oil, etc.). My fellow diner enjoyed the Tan Tan Ramen (spicy pork broth with miso sesame paste, spicy organic ground beef, bean sprouts, bok choy, sesame seeds, chopped scallion, seasoned boiled egg), but thought the beef overpowered the bowl. Overall, nice ramen offerings, but not the best ramen you're going to get in the city. That said, service was lovely and prompt. read more

FOOD I came here around 1 p.m. to meet up with friends for lunch and were seated immediately. We ordered the grilled chicken tacos, the mayu ramen, and the avocado salad with fried tofu. All of them were delicious, fresh, and filling for the given price point. The tacos had the option of a flour or corn tortilla with the staff recommending the flour over corn. The chicken was flavorful and the toppings paired well. I'd definitely come back if I was looking for a casual dine-in. DRINKS We also ordered the peach and taro bubble teas. The bubbles were a little mushy and the only other complaint was that the tea was a little farther on the sweeter side for my liking. When returning, I would definitely ask if the sweetness could be adjusted. SERVICE The staff here are very kind and attentive. We took a bit longer than usual to order as we were catching up, but they were more than patient. Our orders also came out within 15-20 minutes upon ordering. AMBIANCE The interior is modern and decorative with Latin art and a community poster wall. Asian decor lines the back of the restaurant as well. The music isn't too loud, and it doesn't get too loud inside either. PARKING Paid street parking is available at a limited capacity. read more

My friends and I stumbled upon here while walking around on the waitlist for a restaurant nearby. Being starved, we decided to eat here instead. It is quaint restaurant with typical Japanese decor I'd expect for a ramen shop except this ramen shop also has tacos. Food: My friends and I each decided to order a taco and a ramen, as the name suggests. I absolutely love how they have plenty of vegan/vegetarian options for both tacos and the ramens. I ordered the fried mushroom & zucchini taco and the vegan miso ramen. The taco was absolutely delicious. I would come back for the taco alone. The vegan miso ramen was good, but I've had more enticing vegan ramens if I'm being honest. Service: The restaurant is small and has a small crew. However, the servers were friendly and we were never waiting too long for anything. Our tacos came out first, then our ramen. TL;DR - it's all in the name, get both while you're here. read more

Found this place by accident looking for food near the TLA on south street. They were able to seat three right away even though it's a relatively small space inside. Service was great and the food was too. I got the shrimp tempura taco (which is recommended on the menu and I can see why - would definitely go back for more), the spicy kimchi ramen - good broth and lots of accoutrements and the table shared and order of takoyaki. Would definitely go back! read more

The ramen was okay but disappointing. There were far too many scallions. I could barely take a bite without a mouthful of them. It was like an equal amount of scallions as there were noodles. It made the experience less enjoyable. The broth was okay. The whole dish felt incomplete like it was missing something. The tacos I had were pretty good though. I had the eggplant & mushroom taco and the shrimp tempura taco. I'm unlikely to come back for the Ramen. read more

Insanely good. The service was phenomenal. I had reasonable expectations coming in and this was the best ramen I've had since being in Japan. The tacos were so fresh and were full of flavor.

Really enjoyed my meal here with friends. We came on a Monday around 6/6:30. This was a perfect time because we were able to grab a table. By 7 there was a 30 minute wait! I love that this place has a ton of vegan/vegetarian options while also catering to meat eaters. I ordered the vegetarian spicy ramen and an almond milk bubble tea. My friend ended up getting some tacos and my husband also got ramen. The food came out quickly and the service was attentive and friendly. They were very accomodating considering my friend had a wheelchair. My ramen was delicious and I like that they give you condiments to customize your spicy level. I will definitely be back (especially if i need a meal before going to the TLA down the block). read more

Love this cute and trendy ramen and taco restaurant with surprisedly delicious bubble tea. I usually only get my milk tea at a bubble tea place. As for fruit smoothie, only at bubble tea places or Vietnamese restaurants. Taco and Ramen is very promising for bubble tea and fresh fruit smoothies. Taco and ramen are good. I also had takoyaki, which was also good. My only issue is that the takoyaki and ramen didn't come out burning hot. I like my hot food really hot especially broth items.

For entrees, everyone ordered their own specific ramen. I ordered the Mayu Ramen and WOW! I would go back and order it again. Extremely flavorful and hearty. The noodles were cooked to perfection. No complaints. Grateful as well that the staff was open to me cutting a birthday cake. Will definitely be returning. read more

The name says it all: tacos and ramen. Easy simple delicious. Finally came here last night and it did not disappoint. We HAD to get that shrimp tempura taco and we're pleased ordering one or two instead of three was an option because it was really just to try. So we got 2 of those and they were Huge!!! So good too I would definitely order 3 next time as my entree and be full. They're massive and so freaking good. But we each tried the Mayu Ramen dish which is their recommendation. It was very good and a good portion size ! Worth the price and even came with chili powder without having to ask. How did they know we needdddd Chilli powder or oil for our ramen? We hate Ramen without spice (do it right or don't do it at all right?). So pleased with the service really sweet people. Ming was great. We also got taro boba teas and they were so cool and cute!
