    [[HIGHLIGHT]]This less than 20 seater use very tucked or and was packed the whole time we were there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was amazing. Starting with the octopus balls and Brussels sprouts. The miso sauce was amazing, is definitely a staple. The fried octopus was creamy and crispy. The ramen and was so fresh and spicy. The server was very kind and I appreciate how they separate the broth from the nodding in the to go container. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's very intimate and a great vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    I haven't been back for a while. Always like their ramens. Service is good. The only negative I have , it's the super limited parking spaces. That's why when I plan to go here, I always do it early before the rush hours arrive.

    Officially my favorite ramen in Houston. Service is super fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is small and very casual so keep that in mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is the star of the show.

    Can't go wrong with this place! [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's not that big inside, so make sure you go during a decent hour.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The dip ramen was flavorful and we even got an order to go!

    Came here for date night and my date was blown away. I've been many times, and ramen dates are our thing, and I think Tamashi is his favorite! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is very small and there is very limited table space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The visit this week is the first time I've gotten there and DIDN'T see a line outside of people patiently waiting. There's an unspoken feeling of hurriedness. You sit, are greeted immediately. Appetizer is out in 10-15 min. Entree in 5-10. Check dropped shortly after. Come. Eat. Leave. None of that loitering business. .... But it's worth it!!! The ramen broth is rich and fresh and hot. The sushi is perfect. It's a staple in my rotation.

    We really enjoyed the flavorful ramen here. Overall had a very good experience. Wonderful service too!

    This is a little spot right off of holcombe in close proximity to the med center and rice village offering a quick nice bowl of ramen that is perfect for this time of year. The food -- I ordered the spicy miso ramen. I overall really enjoyed my bowl. It was a little on the sweeter side which I balanced with spice. The spice wasn't too spicy but can ask for it on the side if you want to add as you go. The spot -- not much to it. Pretty small with some tables for indoor dining. Recommend keeping your party size small. A good spot if you're dining alone as well. Parking spots are available in the front and behind the building. Service - nice but simple: I overhead you can call or order online for pickup to avoid fees. Overall I really enjoyed my bowl here. Will definitely be back when I'm craving ramen on this side of town.

    We were a party of 3 coming in on a Wednesday evening, around 7 PM. The restaurant is super small, with probably 5ish tables and a couple chairs for some higher seating options. This is not a restaurant to bring large parties to (parties larger than 5/6+). Just like the seating inside, there isn't much parking right in front of the restaurant either, so be prepared to find alternate spaces nearby. We thankfully and luckily got one as someone was leaving. Service was great! We sat down and we were approached right away. Our server also answered all of our questions we had about the menu! To eat, I had the Tonkatsu Ramen: Non-spicy Ramen with a thick, creamy pork bone-based broth. It was topped with chashu, black fungus, bamboo shoots, green onion, fish cake and a soft-boiled egg. De-lic-ious. Hit the spot, would definitely recommend ordering a side of extra noodles if you can. Couldn't get enough of the wonderful flavors from the broth. Along with my ramen I ordered the "Sexy Mama Roll": a roll, made tempura style, with soft shell crab, shrimp tempura, kani, cream cheese,soy paper, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. BIG mouthfuls, generous portions and wonderful flavoring. Highly recommend this roll. Overall a wonderful experience, again just keep in mind the spacing! But will definitely be coming back for my ramen or sushi cravings!!

    Absolutely my favorite ramen spot in Houston. the restaurant is located in an unassuming corner, seating only 21 guests but the food is consistently delicious. Service is always quick but servers are courteous so we never feel rushed. Their sushi are also always fresh but their affordably priced chirashi really steals the show. their brussel sprout, chashudon 2.0 and Curry Tsukemen are also to die for.

    The pen!

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]We visited Tamashi Ramen & Sushi during lunch hour and absolutely loved the peaceful ambiance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was quick and efficient, making it a great spot if you're looking for something fast and easy. Just be aware that parking can be a bit tight. Overall, I definitely recommend giving this place a try!

    Tamashi's Menn Ramen
    Ariana V.

    My husband and I ordered from here via Uber Eats during a short stay in Houston and it's definitely some of the best Ramen I've tasted in Texas. We both ordered the Tamashi's Menn Ramen, which comes with a shrimp skewer and pork, plus a shrimp based broth. The broth was packed with flavor and was definitely unique as I typically order pork or soy based broths for my Ramen. I had mine with fresh garlic and extra bean sprouts and they give you an option to make it spicy or add other extras, including double noodles. I also really appreciated how the staff packed our order by separating the broth from the other components of the soup. This helped to maintain the quality despite ordering for delivery. They also managed to prepare our order quickly and it was delivered within 30 minutes. WOW! I'd definitely order from here again or stop in the next time I'm in Houston!

    I want to love this place, and in fact, I've really enjoyed myself here before. However, after my last visit, my friend and I both received mild food poisoning after ordering ramen. I forgot to order my ramen broth extra hot like I usually do. I noticed the ramen broth was lukewarm when I received it. The flavors were still tasty. By the time I left, I started feeling some serious gastronomic distress and had to pull over at a gas station. At our second destination, my friend started feeling gastronomic distress as well, which was relieved after a long trip to the ladies' room. The fact that we both ordered ramen with the tonkotsu broth base says it all. She didn't finish her bowl, so her response was a bit more delayed. I should have paid more attention to the numerous listed health code violations. Ugh.

    Classic ramen spit can never go wrong menu might be limited but each thing on it is hands down delicious! Service is very attentive you can order on ur own but if you sit they will come around and help you no problem !! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restaurant is very tiny sometimes will have to wait and seating is very tight will definitely be sitting nevt to a stranger but food is worth bumping elbows(:[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Do you have Vegetarian Sushi options, something without seafood?

    They only have a cucumber and an avocado maki roll; their specialty rolls primarily use fish, sauces, and these two ingredients so there is not much else in the kitchen to choose from. For other vegetarian options there is a great brussels sprout… 

    Wool you be open on Thanksgiving?

    Are the noodles made in restaurant?

    Don't know. The curry ramen was delicious

    Are Sunday nights crowded?

    Yes weekends are generally crowded. It's a small place and table seating is limited. I highly recommend take out, they're quick!

    Does the location has alcohol yet?

    Yes, a few kinds of sake

    Are there any happy hour food or drink specials?

    Hi Marc F, We do not have any happy hour on food or drinks, Thank you.

    Is this place good for a date?

    I think if both you and your date loves ramen, it can be. It's a very small and intimate place. But I wouldn't say it's romantic. It all depends on the type of environment you're looking for. This is a more casual type of restaurant where if you and…

I decided to have small bites so broccolini and chicken bites. The broccolini was really good, it was topped with quinoa which I wonder is added for texture because it didn't add much to the actual meal but it still tasted good over all. The chicken bites were super hot and fresh. Much larger than I was expecting as well. I tried the kiwi mocktail drink which was pretty yummy as well.

    I had a great experience at ramen Tatsu-ya. It was my first time here & I was very impressed…read more I ordered the "mi-so-hot" & it was amazing. First - the ramen came out super fast. I was very surprised. And my broth was so delicious. It had such a rich umami flavor due to the miso & I thought the spice level was perfect. Honestly - I could eat jhst that broth for a whole meal. Unlike buldak or some other spicy ramens - the main selling point wasn't the spice. You could get an additional "spice bomb" if you wanted some more heat. The ramen toppings were good but not outstanding - same with the noodles. I thought the "mi-so-hot" was easily 3x better than "the og". The broth in "the og" was pretty interesting and more unique tasting. It felt like the main notes were just umami, pork, and oil. Not bad, but felt like it was missing a little something to make it truly good. If I had just got the OG, I'd rate this place a bit lower - but as it stands I'd 100% come back here for the "mi-so-hot" The interior was pretty nice. It was more "communal style seating" with a couple of big tables. There is also some smaller booths. It's an "order at the counter" type restaurant as well. I saw several comments about parking & was a bit concerned when driving over. I know that part of westheimer is always packed! But there is an attached parking lot & at 3pm on a Sunday, there was plenty of parking! Also - there is some street parking in the neighborhood north of the shop. Overall - will 100% be coming back for some more spicy ramen. Would recommend

Sushi Flight (6 Pieces, 4 Flavors) - Somehow 1,050 calories??? - Raw Salmon x2 - Strangely, I would have liked this colder. It was just okay. - Cooked Salmon x2 - I liked this a lot more than the raw salmon because it had a deeper flavor. - Scallops - Probably my favorite thing on this platter because of the smokiness they imbue with the torching. The sweet aftertaste was definitely worthwhile. - Shrimp - Not as fresh as I would have liked, as someone who's eaten a lot of shrimp, but I still liked the taste. Still, pretty mediocre. Tantan Tsukemen - Very interesting broth. Potent, salty, and full of bold flavor. My friend swapped the pork for chicken, and the chicken worked really well with the broth. They serve the chicken as a cold cut. This is a double-noodle dish with a soy milk-based dipping sauce. I normally would have ordered this because I LOVE tantan ramen, but I had to forgo it for the limited-time Creamy Truffle Ramen. Creamy Truffle Ramen - LOVED the broth. It was very light and creamy. I actually liked this a lot more than tonkotsu ramen. The truffle wasn't too overwhelming--just mild enough to hint at its flavor without becoming the only flavor profile you get. Truffle is like baking with rose water; finding that balance is quite hard. I will admit the whole table smelled like truffles, though. The torched king oyster mushroom paired wonderfully with the dish, and the broccolini was an equally interesting topping choice. I also found bits of melted Parmesan throughout the ramen, which the menu listed as an ingredient. The egg wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was still a decent soy egg. As I kept eating, the truffle oil became more intense, and the fattiness started to get a bit overwhelming without washing it down with water. Great flavor overall, but I think this dish is best paired with an appetizer to help cut through the richness. One of my favorite things about this place, which my BF mentioned, was the noodle texture. I noticed it too as I ate--a good bite with a slick texture that was just starchy enough to cling to the broth. We had leftover noodles from the Tantan Tsukemen at the end of the meal and ended up using the Creamy Truffle broth as a dipping sauce. Honestly, no regrets. The cold noodles didn't work quite as well in this dish, but the broth was definitely a banger. This was also the first ramen broth I couldn't finish but desperately wanted to bring home. (Obviously, I did.) Their to-go containers are surprisingly sleek, too. It's a weird thing to compliment, but I almost wanted to keep the container as much as the broth. Special comment on the utensils here--the soup spoons are ridiculously cute! Would love to have a similar set at home. Overall, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was thoughtful. The music wasn't too loud, and it wasn't that crowded for a Saturday night. They do play a lot of popular Japanese songs, so if you're an international music enthusiast, you'll appreciate hearing "Mayonaka no Door" by Miki Matsubara.

I chose the curry topping, and although it paired well with the pork and omurice, I found the complete bite lacking a bit of punch. So the dish itself was 4/5 for me. Maybe the sweet glaze would have helped bring the mouthful together - I'll try that next time! We also tried the purple yam fries (4/5) and they were nice and crispy. This place was pretty packed when we showed up on a Sunday evening around 7 pm. We ended up sitting at the bar, which had call buttons for service, ordering, check, etc. Overall service was good but the call button for the check didn't seem to work. Pressed it like 3 times in 10 min and no one seemed to get an alert so we just flagged someone down. The inside is pretty neat, with an upstairs and downstairs (as well as a bar area). They did a really good job maximizing their space. Definitely worth trying if you haven't had omurice before.

One waitress served everyone in the restaurant while I was there. She was speedy in taking and delivering orders. She seemed very nice! Food: ordered Tonkotsu Gachi and my mom ordered the yuzu. Food arrived very quickly, though we ordered no appetizers. The tonkotsu broth was rich and velvety in texture, but more like a mild umami in flavor. The chashu pork was pale, but melt in your mouth buttery and bursting with savory pork goodness! The marinated egg wasn't brought up to temperature with the broth -- a little cooler than room temperature, with a medium oozy yolk. It felt like the marinade penetrated all through to the yolk -- it was great! I welcomed the novel choice to use red onion over the usual scallions. It was a nice touch of color and brought in that bright, juicy onion flavor that I crave. Noodles were perfect texture. Not too hard or mushy. This bowl feels made to focus on the broth and flavor and not so much an instagram post. Delicious!! My only complaint was a very very very slight bitterness in the background. I couldn't pin where it was coming from. Maybe that's a risk of simmering bones for so long. I'll keep this short because I couldn't just eat my moms bowl... The Yuzu shio broth was clearer, with bright, citrusy, and savory body. The bamboo shoots were golden (grilled?) with a little snap to it. Reminds me of a king oyster mushroom. This is really a unique broth and I haven't had anything like it. You should definitely try it! Restaurant: clean, neat, every table literally has its place /orientation. Deep wood furniture, honeyed lighting, and dark window shades give the restaurant a cozy chic ambience despite visiting around noon. Good food, great service. Great prices. Large portions.
