this review is only for vegetarians. i had the vegetarian ramen. the broth was bland. no spices to it. i had to add so much spicy oil to it -- still didn't help much. lol. can't customize it either. the broth for the vegetarian ramen at the other ramen place in the same plaza is more tasty. i'm sure the other ramen here are good since they have such good reviews. read more

Finally tried Tengu Ramen and it for sure lived up to the hype. The vibe inside is super cool and intimate and our server was honestly so sweet. We lucked out and got there at a perfect time because right after we sat down, people slowly started flowing in. My husband ordered the udon and my daughter got the beef bowl and both of them absolutely loved their food. I wasn't super starving, so I just loaded up on a bunch of appetizers instead. I tried the fried dumplings, takoyaki and the fried tofu. The tofu was a total surprise, seriously crispy on the outside and silky smooth on the inside. The takoyaki was perfectly cooked too. There's nothing worse than biting into one that is still running inside! Everything came out hot, fresh and delicious. I like that it's fairly close to home and that the location has plenty of parking. If you're in the area, you should definitely stop in for a bite! read more

First timer! Good to see a ramen shop here in the area serving lots of people in this northwest community. Came here for dinner and was hungry. I ordered the spicy kimchi ramen, good portion size, noodles were not soggy and perfectly done. The broth was good but can be richer. My husband got the dragon roll that was nicely packed together. No loose rolls here, and it's not over packed with too much rice. It was great. My kids got the pork katsu rice that came with a salad on the side. For me it was a little dry but the kids had no complaints at all. They ate every bit of it and that's all that matters. So it was a 5/5 from them :) They have a good selection of asian beers, my husband got two. Customer service was great, super friendly and kind staff. They adored my children. The ambiance was nice, not a huge restaurant but was nice and intimate. Our food came out 10 mins. Not too long at all. Will be coming back. Thanks read more

I met up with my best friend for lunch, we had agreed to give this place a try since we've both never been. Arrived a few mins before 1230pm thankfully no wait! I was greeted and seated immediately. Our server was very kind. Brought us water and gave us time to look over the menu. I ordered the spicy miso ramen my friend ordered the chashu ramen. We also each order a roll: salmon and Philadelphia. Orders came out quickly. The ramen was hot and plated beautifully. The spicy miso was bomb!!! It was soooo good not too spicy, the ramen was perfectly al dente! The broth was so flavorful and they didn't skimp on the topping and the meat! The egg was so silky and it just melted in my mouth! The rolls tasted fresh. This place is amazing!!! I was eyeing their curry so I will surely come back for that! Service was amazing, food was delicious! Highly recommend! The place is clean and beautiful inside. It's not a big place so I'm sure the wait be long on a busy day! But they do work fairly quick! read more

I love it. If you want an affordable eat, cheap date night this is it. The food was pretty good. Is the quality on par with its higher end ramen spots? No. But for the price it's pretty dang good. Anddddd they provide pictures for their menu items. That's a win in my books. Shrimp tempura udon: broth was tasty, udon noodles were chewy. I'd definitely get this again but the only change I'd make is to ask for the tempura items on the side. I didn't like that my tempura got soggy. Other than that delish! (4/5) Takoyaki: standard, good. No complaints. (4/5) Tengu maki: for $14 that's a great price. The roll was delicious! (5/5) Spam musubi: very basic. I wished they pan fried the spam in the teriyaki or something. Just spam and rices (3/5) Overall, I'd definitely come back. It's very affordable. Service was good. Ambiance was great. Little tight but that's okay. read more

The customer service upon entry was amazing. The place was over half full upon entry and similarly occupied when we left. The ambient sound is not bad against their music. PORK KATSU CURRY RICE so dang delicious. It gets better the more I eat it. 4.25 out of 5. BBQ CHICKEN RICE BOWL had that smoky teriyaki aroma that brought me back to an old Manchester Mall joint that I totally miss. Nostalgia, Ratatouille-style!! We were so happy with the Food and The price that we ordered additional to go food for the next day. The BEEF RICE BOWL was freaking delicious and tender. The only downside is that their California roll says it uses crab meat, but you can see that it is the imitation STICK crab, which is fish. So not terribly happy that they don't properly communicate this. (I didn't remove a star for this, as I was aware enough to not order it.) Definitely worth coming back to try out more. read more

TLDR; pretty good ramen, cute little interior kinda spaced away from everything else though, with some decent sushi and all right appetizers. staff is new and still working out the kinks. I got a chance to try: 1. Chashu ramen: really yummy and well sized bowl. Noodles are great and broth is flavorful. 2. Seaweed salad: standard salad, wouldn't get again. 3. Sweet fried chicken: comes with sauce on the side, and I thought it was well presented, albeit lacking some flavors 4. Spam Musubi: really felt like this was just a bunch of rice, could done better with 2 pieces of spam instead of 1. 5. Edamame: lightly salted, if you like it, you should get it. 6. Dragon roll: Well crafted, artistic presentation, and flavors that work together well, least fishy I generally wait for everyone to get their food before eating, but we ended up waiting like 15 minutes+ for the last person to get their rolls before eating; that felt pretty bad. I would've preferred either a slower rollout of appetizers so we could've synchronized our eating of our main course options. read more

The place just recently opened but I've been waiting for a while for them to open. Our family decided to come and try it for dinner yesterday. The restaurant is small and intimate. I don't remember how much the occupancy size is but it looks like it can hole up to maybe 25ish people. I didn't take a photo of the inside at the time since there were other diners and didn't want to intrude on their privacy. But it was really cute inside with beautiful art on the walls. As you walk in you're immediately greeted and seated. We had a party of 5. It's a booth/chair combo type seating arrangement except for one table of 4 by the entrance. Our drinks were taken and brought out immediately. The young gal was training and did a fantastic job. We ordered quite a bit of food (plain udon with no toppings, plain curry udon, chicken curry udon, dumplings, spam musubi, sushi rolls (Rock n roll, fresno, hangover, and okey dokey). Our food came out pretty quickly. My son loved the udon and said it's his favorite restaurant. The chicken curry had a lot of rich flavors. The broth was quite thick almost like a gravy consistency (which is not my preferred type of soup), but Nancy came over to the table and asked how the food was and if we had any comments/suggestions. She listened to us and took my opinion gracefully. The sushi rolls....I can eat here at least 3 times a week just for that. The rolls were delicious and for the price I'll definitely be back. Most places are charging a ridiculous amount for sushi rolls. This place is worth a try and my family and I will be coming back! Especially since my son said it's his new favorite restaurant. read more

I noticed they just open and decided to stop by and have some sushi rolls. The location is a bit small with a couple medium size tables and the rest are 2 seaters. The staff was very friendly and there was no wait time. I ordered a seaweed salad which was very delicious and fresh. I then ordered some salmon nigiri and a Philadelphia roll. The nigiri was delicious and the rice with the salmon tasted really good. The Philadelphia roll which is one of my favorites, definitely didn't disappoint and I enjoyed mixing in some of the sauces they had on the table with my sushi and nigiri. Definitely will be returning to try more of the menu. The food was high quality and location was clean. read more

I was traveling through Fresno for an appointment Friday and afterwards decided to get some dinner. I wanted something different and noticed a Japanese restaurant, Ten Gu Ramen had recently opened and wasn't far away. When I arrived two young ladies immediately greeted and seated me. The interior of the restaurant was richly decorated with Japanese art, wallpaper and super cute geisha dolls. It set a great warm mood. The ladies both went over the menu with me and were helpful to decide what I wanted. I ordered calamari rings, spicy shrimp ramen and a coke. The calamari rings came out in just a few minutes and were huge. They looked like large old school onion rings. Excellent calamari. Panko crusted, firm and tasty. The ramen came next. Also, just a few minutes after the calamari. Very good as well with just the right amount of spiciness to accent the broth. The broth had great body and flavor. Shrimp and vegetables were great too. Only suggestion for improvement is to allow the ramen noodles to soak up that broth and soften a bit before serving. A pretty minor observation for what I felt was a great find and excellent experience. The portions were very sizable and I ended up taking home more than half the meal. The next day I found the ramen had softened up having soaked up that broth. Oh it was delicious. Lastly, the price was right! read more

I went here for dinner last night and enjoyed it so much came back for lunch today. I did not have ramen but my father in law said it was excellent. I had a Dragon roll and California roll last night, both were delicious. I also tried my mother's eel roll which I liked. Today I had a spicy snow crab roll per the girl on the phones recommendation and she knocked it out of the park. I had my parents try it and we all thought it was great. I also tried the Boston roll(good but be aware it's got a distinct flavor). Had the takoyaki(awesome). Last night we the yuzu cheese cake. My wife and I split it, very good. The waitress last night recognized me today, she was very nice. Got to mention the ambiance, it's my kind of place. I'm originally from Huntington Beach so I'm very picky when it comes to Japanese restaurants but this has great ambience, especially for the size. I'll be here once a week moving forward. This checks off all the boxes. read more

This was an excellent restaurant very tasty. My wife is Japanese and we try to eat tasty Japanese food whenever possible. I ordered the pork cutlet curry. It was delicious. I've had Japanese food all over the world and that was actually really good from a small restaurant in Fresno. My wife ordered. Dragon roll and croquette. The croquette was mushy and not very good but the dragon roll was delicious. The Boston roll was delicious and the pork cutlet curry was delicious. Overall, I would say this was a really good restaurant for Fresno and we're lucky to have it. read more
