The best! We sat at the bar and our lovely bartender took such great care of us! We started with apple mango soju (tasty!), then a spider roll (our favorite) and crazy roll (spicy! But good). Teryiaki shrimp bento box, delicious Spicy miso ramen, feels like a hug in a bowl, so good. Can't recommend this place enough! read more

Always a great experience!! I highly recommend the spicy ramen especially on sick days read more

The food is always great. The service is even better! I typically get the Spicy Tantan with a chili bomb. It never disappoints! The bento boxes are a great alternative to the Ramen. read more

Great ramen like the spicy mazen one, nice gyoza and their peach iced tea is fantastic! Very nice peach ice cream mochi as well. Excellent service and cool interior dining atmosphere that is very spacious with many tables, counter tops and a large bar area. Recommended if you are in Norman! read more

Nothing like half a bowl of soup. Restaurant is hot and service has suffered since expansion. Calamari was bland and they no longer have baby squid.. shrimp fried rice was good. We always add bean sprouts for extra flavor. You might think at $25-50 a plate customers could eat in a comfortable and service oriented environment. read more

Norman does have some good places to eat and pretty good variety. Tatsumaki Ramen & Lounge is one of them. I like the spicy tantan ramen at this place. It's a tonkotsu style ramen, my favorite type of ramen. I love the runny egg, super yummy to me but some people may not like it. Quality very comparable to Tamashii. The spicy tuna roll was a little small. However, it was only $7 so I can't really complain. It was good but also a very basic roll, nothing special really. I would highly recommend ramen over sushi at this place. It has a decent bar area. Service was good. Slightly less than 50% occupancy on this particular Saturday noon hour. read more

Tatsumaki is genuinely one of my favorite restaurants in the world. This may sound unexpected for Norman, but I have not yet found better ramen anywhere else! When I come to Norman, I look forward to stopping by and always know the experience will be great. I am vegetarian, and their creamy veggie ramen is my go-to. The broth is so flavorful and they load it with toppings. They also have sriracha in case you want to add a bit of spice to it. My favorite appetizer is the vegetable tempura, it is so good, crispy, and light. Service is decent, but the ramen is what they are known for. The ambiance is a little dim and perfect for date night! My only call-out is they offer a 50 cent "chili bomb" to add some spice to your ramen. The ingredients are not listed on the menu, and I recently found out that there is dried shrimp in it, which was disappointing. I will still always go back when I'm in the area (and dream of their noodles!) read more

The last time I went here (about four years ago) the food was a bit disappointing and so I hadn't been back until yesterday. They've expanded their space since then. The food this time was delicious and they have free refills for soda drinks. I'm glad I gave them a chance again. read more

First time trying this place. Wife picked up 3 rolls to go. She did say it was packed and I hear the ramen is very good. This review is only for the sushi rolls, which were very underwhelming. The taste was good, but they are so small. We usually get the Spicy Cowboy rolls at Koto in Norman or GoGo in Moore. Both places are about the same price and both Koto and GoGo are way bigger than these. We were very disappointed and won't be going back. For the money we will stick with our favorites. read more

This is my favorite place for Tan Tan Ramen. I miss living in Oklahoma because Tatsumaki Ramen & Lounge is there. This is a must try place! Pick up service is quick even though they're always busy. The environment for eating in is chill, the employees are kind, the lighting is dim. Highly recommend this place! read more

Yum! Had the spicy pork ramen. It was perfect. Perfect spice. Hot. The service is ok. Not great. But, proficient. And ambience is nothing to write home about. read more

Favorite place in Oklahoma for ramen!! Great date vibes and delicious ramen and sushi.

Found our new favorite ramen spot!! When we first walked in the restaurant felt so overly warm inside, I almost turned around and left for tamashii but I'm so glad we stayed, the food is so much better. Once you're seated it doesn't feel as warm, the ceiling fans help a lot. We started with a spicy California roll and it was delicious, I was tempted to order a second! I had the Tatsumaki ramen and it was perfect. The broth is so rich and silky, the chashu is cooked perfectly. I haven't enjoyed a bowl of ramen this much in a long time. My husband ordered the spicy tantan and he said it was great! Can't wait to return!! My only complaint is the seating. There are no booths and the stools are uncomfortable, I want to bring my kids here to eat but I'm worried about them sitting on the uncomfortable tall backless stools. read more

Great service, great food! Stopped by on a whim, and noticed lots of foot traffic coming in and out. It has to be good, right? I got seated, ordered a Sapporo, and started the meal with shrimp shumai. It was a little more doughy than others I've had, but I gave this a pass. Now for the ramen, I tried the Tastsumaki and added a bit of their chili bomb (a chili flake paste, served on the side) and it kicked up the heat. Just a note: the chili bomb is HOT. So add a little at a time. The ramen broth was fantastic. The pork was tender and the egg was perfectly cooked. The staff was very friendly and was overall a great experience. read more

Excellent ramen - great service - good value! First time to ever have creamy ramen and I'm a fan. Will defiantly add this to our rotation.

The food was great. The service was great and it is a fun atmosphere. Lots of delicious choices.

The food here is ok. It's not the best ramen I've ever had and the broth is definitely lacking in flavor and richness but it hits the spot on a cold day. The service here is pretty fast and they will accommodate requests (ex, extra chili oil, make vegan) Since it's the only ramen/Japanese place in Norman it's always crowded and filled with loud students. There isn't a lot of seating so prepare to wait a while. read more

This place was absolutely amazing. The only downside, was how hot it was in the restaurant. It has an open kitchen, so that made it hot. We had a couple of appetizers, edamame and takoyaki. Very good, just let them cool off a couple of minutes, because when you get them they're like eating molten lava. Then there's the ramen. I had the seafood ramen and my son had the special pork ramen. The broth with seafood ramen was very rich and creamy. It would make for a great comfort food. The broth for the pork ramen would have been good, but my son put a special chili blend in his. It made it super spicy. I tried just a small taste and it was way too spicy for me. It was so spicy that my son had sweat running down his face. Finished the dinner some mango mochi. I would have given 5 stars, but was just so hot in there. read more

Update:the manager called me and said the owner reached out to him to make things right. He apologized, and They refunded the entire order. We have frequented this business MANY times.Today, we got a Togo order. My husband picked it up and he was almost home when I got a call from them that they had given us the wrong order. They asked if we could come back. I told them we don't live in town, we live out by lake thunderbird, but yes he has to come back now. The girl on the phone apologized and said she would discount the food. My hubby got there,!they didn't discount the food AND it was the right order the whole time. When he got home, he told me they didn't discount it. I called and spoke to a gentleman that gave me the run around and said that they couldn't do anything about that. I said your employee offered the discount! The food isn't hot and the sushi roll is sweating and soft , on top of the fact the hubby spent an extra hour commuting bc they made a mistake. Sadly, I won't be back. Just like waitresses expect tips for great service, as a paying customer I expect more than the bare minimum and that isn't at all what we got. read more

Clean, typically friendly service, cool vibe inside, good ramen, sushi, and drinks! Although the sushi always seems to have a wait and takes a lot longer to make and come out vs the ramen. read more

I've been coming here for at least over a year. I love their food. The spicy edamame, creamy chicken ramen + chilibomb, Tokyo fried rice, salmon sashimi, sushi, The Woowoo drink, spicy miso etc. it's all great food! The staff has always been welcoming, attentive and the service is pretty fast even when they're slammed. The pricing is good too and the atmosphere is nice! I know they're getting ready to do some renovations and I'm excited for them. I highly recommend making this one of your restaurants in Norman as regular rotation. Shout out to Taemoor, Thati and Kevin! Thank you all for always being wonderful! read more

Amazing food and service was quick! Would come back. Servers were nice and we get a variety of different plates here and never had a bad experience read more

Good food, good service, and cute place to have dinner! The chicken is definitely a must try! read more

Worst ramen of my life. First of all, the broth, which in my opinion is the most important part of the ramen, is so bland that I had to add salt, soy sauce and chili pepper to give it some life. Also the color looks like they just add milk to a clear broth, tasted like it too. The noodle was decent, egg was a little mushy. But they don't have scallion! I went on a Saturday at 1pm. Peak lunch hour. It's a ramen house and they don't have scallion! The service was really friendly but I won't return. read more

The Spicy Tan Tan Ramen is amazing! Big shoutouts to the gentleman and server (Jenny) who advised me to also add Miso Paste to give the broth a little more texture and spice! The Baby Gecko sushi roll was absolutely amazing and i am grateful they recommended that as well! My wife got Tokyo fried rice and the rice was nice and sticky and the chicken is well cooked! The green tea mochi was a great finish to the food! The environment of the place is awesome and the art on one of the walls is very cool! Music has good energy and the layout of the place is awesome. Jenny did an absolutely amazing job at ensuring we were taken care of and checked in often! She displayed good patience in how long my wife and i took to order. The food came quick as well which was great! Overall a wonderful experience and i'll definitely return. read more

This is a hoppin' little place with an atmosphere that felt youthful and energetic the minute we walked in. It had just gone past noon and a crowd was already gathering on a Saturday. We were taken care of promptly and chose to sit at the bar near the kitchen entrance. You have to scan a QR code to access their menu through your phone. What a brillaint idea! Green and germs free. But as the husband and I have done our research the night before we didn't need a menu, even though I had a really hard time deciding, we knew what we wanted by heart. Our server was pleasant and efficient. Our appetiser came out quickly and our bowls of ramen followed in a timely manner. The buns were buried under a huge pile of shredded lettuce so the husband was somewhat perplexed as to how to tackle it. It didn't bother me, however, I love my greens. The steaming hot broth was rich and creamy, quite an unusual consistency for me. We both loved the chashu. The ramen was firm and chewy and the portion generous. I'm so glad I held back from ordering other appetisers and saved them for our next visit. I already have my eyes on the takoyaki and tonkatsu rice! read more

Tatsumaki Ramen & Lounge - Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

Tatsumaki is an all-around solid ramen restaurant that I'm thankful to have in Norman. Gone are the days of driving up to the city to fill that ramen craving! One of the things I like about Tatsumaki is their very extensive menu. From unique app's to ramen to poke to more specialty ramen to sushi - Tatsumaki is sure to have something for everyone. We've tried the takoyaki and spicy edamame, and they were both delicious. For ramen, we've gotten the Tatsumaki, miso gyoza, spicy tantan, chilled ramen, and shoyu seafood. Everything we've had here has been good! We've ordered the chili bomb for ramen as well and enjoyed that - just make sure you add the chili bomb in small amounts before dumping it all in! You may regret that.. I know we have! Service is generally pretty attentive, too. This isn't my favorite ramen restaurant, but we like it alright, and we'll keep coming back! We still gotta try the sushi and poke! read more

This is the fourth or fifth time i've been and i'm never disappointed. Came with a friend around 7:30 on Friday. We were seated immediately and taken care of. We ordered dumplings to start which were really good, then the tempura ramen. The portions were good sized for a single person and definitely enough to take home extra. The dishes are always seasoned well and taste great. We were sat next to people but table felt like we had our own space. The room is large so there's a lot of option to sit. Bar, Window and traditional table. Reasonably priced and fast service. Must stop by if you're in the norman area! read more

This is by far Norman's best ramen and sushi bar. Fast service, plus staff is always helpful and kind. Also, I love the artwork inside. The Gluten free options never miss. I drive from the other side of town, and pass two other options for ramen with no hesitation. Thanks for the great food and service. ! read more

Outstanding broth. The broth is really the heart of a good bowl of a ramen and this broth is something special. I live in Los Angeles and have traveled to Japan on numerous occasions and can say that the ramen here is just as comforting as a bowl in Tokyo. Wish I had a bigger appetite to try other menu options but I stick with what I know. read more

The server was so sweet and helpful. Management is NOT! Gyoza took 20 minutes - chicken fried rice took exactly 1 hour. Everyone got their ramen before I got my flavorless white rice that is supposed to be fried ..... we got here @5:09pm. Everyone got their food at random times. No excuse honestly. The server tried to comp the rice for me and management told her no. spicy edamame was good! Crunchy roll was really good! Ramen was ok- everything else sucked/ so did the dumb chairs and table set up. read more
