Small cosy atmosphere. We were there for Sat lunch and had to wait for seats to clear. It's a small place, and likely you will have to share a table. Food Presentation and service were good, but the ramen was so so. The noodles were soft and soggy. They taste and the texture were identical to frozen microwave noodles quality that you get from Asian supermarkets. The soup base was on the bland side. Not the best or above average ramen I have had. read more

Very small place. Only one table with seating for 6, otherwise a bunch of bench seats. Great broth. The tiger ramen broth is a combo of pork, chicken, and fish stock. Great flavour, it's on the lighter side which is fine. The ramen is chewy, pork chashu is tender and a bit fatty which I like. Great place to stop by for your ramen fix on your travels. read more

What an awesome find. Thanks fellow yelpers for directing us to Tiger Ramen. We were headed up to Sun Peaks from Seattle for a Ski vacation and were super hungry. At first I was a bit skeptical because it's so small....a family style table and stools at the bar. That's it. Got there at 1:30pm on a Tuesday and there was a wait. Not too long. Got three spots at the bar and quickly ordered - two miso bowls with lean bbq pork and a soy sauce bowl with pork & vegetables. The temps were perfect, the flavors were perfect, the protein was yummy and the noodles rounded out arguably the best ramen bowls we've eaten. Go figure....not in Seattle, not in San Francisco, NY or even HI...but Kamloops BC. Awesome job, and thank you! read more

As a first time customer Comfortable but a little bit crammed but The amazing service and wonderful home style atmosphere made up for it. all in all would recommend and is now one of my favourite places to eat read more

Great place with delicious ramen, we tried both, the miso and soy ramen and both were great. We had the BBQ meat, which was nice and tender. The place itself is super cute and small, seats maybe 15, so expect a bit of a wait. read more

Best RAMEN EVER!! I've been to so many ramen places from here to Vancouver and I can't find anything like this place. Get there early because it fills up fast!!! Mmmmm Tiger Ramen read more

I got the Tiger Ramen Special while my wife got the Vegan Ramen. Both bowls were ok. They were not bad but not great. The portion size is justified by the prices. The broth is decent as are the noodles; the toppings are mehh. It's a good spot to stop at for a quick bite but probably not somewhere you would specifically go to for a great ramen. read more

My husband has been raving about this place for so long so when we decided to attend his office Christmas party and drive up to Kamloops, we made sure was part of our agenda. The place can accomodate about 25 people max. It opens at 11.45 am. Very odd opening time I know. We were there by 11.30 am and there were at least 7 people waiting outside. They probably also thought that opening is 11.30 LOL As soon as it opens we were greeted by a very friendly staff and seated us by the bar. The menu is not overwhelming. The ramen is divided into 3 types, a) soy sauce b) miso c) sea salt. My eyes wondered at the description for each type. I chose miso as it says creamy pork broth. How can you go wrong with creamy? Right? I chose the Tonkatsu (hmmm pork) in Miso and upon recommendation from my husband asked for a spicy ball as add-on. Spicy ball is a type of spicy paste that is scooped out like a ball and placed on top of your ramen. Now the moment of truth. I mixed the spicy ball with miso broth to create this so creamy soup base. First sip of the broth takes you to miso ramen heaven. It was delicious! First bite of the thinly sliced pork and it was soft and tasty. The ramen noodle was cooked to perfection, al dente, just the way I like it! If you happen to be in the area this is a must place to try. If you love ramen like I do then I highly recommend this place. read more

I had the soy sauce ramen with 3 dumplings. It proved that Ramen can be a great choice for the first meal of the day. Perfect when it's raining out as well. Flavorful broth amd the pork was perfectly cooked. We sat at the bar and had a front row view of the chef masterfully handling the stove. Great food. read more

Tiger Ramen - First time here - Noodles Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

Fresh ingredients, homemade noodles, so delicious! Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff.

Quick lunch here before getting under way. Loved the soy sauce ramen. Food came out hot and texture of noodles was perfect. Only seats approximately 16 people so get there before the rush or be prepared to wait. read more

Having just come in from Vancouver, we were pleasantly surprised by this place. It was 445 and the tiny place (seats approx 16) was packed and we had to wait. Friendly staff, reasonably priced portions, simple unpretentious menu and the ramen...mmmm good serving size and full of flavor! I ordered the miso pork ramen with extra noodles, kids ordered the soy ramen with pork and wife ordered the vegan ramen with a spicy factor of 2. The first thing I noticed was the temperature of the ramen broth came out piping hot! Usually its warm to hot, but this one was hot and stayed so for quite a while. Secondly the ramen texture was fantastic! It had a great chewy texture and are thicker than the ones in Calgary. My only "complaint" would be that they served lean pork on the ramen and I would have preferred a fattier cut, plus the pork seemed like it was just boiled and sliced it, therefore it lacked any real flavor, unlike calgary and Vancouver where most places I've been to they roast the pork. 4 bowls came to $45, in calgary this would have easily been a $60 meal. Great place to stop in kamloops! read more

After looking at all the reviews, we decided to drop in for an early supper before checking in to our hotel. The kitchen staff/servers were friendly, attentive, and efficient (the tables turn very quickly here). The ramen bowls(soy, vegetable, and miso) range from $9-11. I ordered the tonkatsu soy ramen (fish stock and pork bone base ). This was the best ramen broth I've had in a long time; it was steaming hot with great depth of flavour without being too salty. The sliced pork(not your traditional Chinese style char siu) was so tender and juicy that you could cut it with your chopsticks. The handmade ramen was firm and delicious--our son ordered extra ramen for $1 and was slurping his soup contentedly. Tiger Ramen is well worth the drive from Calgary. We are definitely looking forward to our next visit here when we pass through Kamloops! read more

First time coming here in the Kamloops area and was scoping out the area and stumbled on this place. Was in the plaza pretty early in the morning and so just happened they were just opening up for the day. I was the first one to go in before the lunch rush. I had ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen with extra noodles. For a small city like Kamloops, this ramen place is very good for the area. The soup base was very flavorful, the noodles had good texture and was chewy and not too soggy. The pork wasn't bad either despite I was hoping to get larger slices but the overall meal was delicious. I highly recommend to get extra noodles which only costs $1. I know that whenever you eat ramen there is always leftover soup base so it's best to try to finish it up. Just wished they had more selection on the don bowls since they only have one and everything else is ramen. But definitely comes back and try other ramen bowls. read more

Tiger Ramen - Tonkatsu ramen - Noodles Near Me - Kamloops, British Columbia

Ordered green tea and Tonkatsu Ramen. The green tea was VERY nice, rich in flavour and pipping hot !! Menu is divided into three sections of Ramen - soy, vegetable and miso. After I ordered I heard people talking about spice level - shoot cause mine now won't be spicy - well that's ok, gives my an opportunity to really taste the broth. They had no black garlic (what a shame). But the Ramen arrived and the homemade noodles were very nice and in my Ramen Bowl was a beautiful piece of cooked pork and two pieces of seaweed and a little bit of spinach there was nothing else nothing. I was used to an egg included so I didn't realize when I ordered that you had to order everything else that you wanted in your Ramen. No big deal it was still a very very good broth and the pork was cooked beautifully and the soup was amazing I really enjoyed it ! Small place, seats about 18 people, top 10 music plays and on top of that people talking, laughing, the kitchen noise of plates/bowls and the ding of the cash register; the place is not quite. read more

The Red Spicy Ramen and the Tiger Ramen special was very good. Comparable in quality and price to the good ramen joints in Vancouver. Service 5/5, Food /5, Cleanliness 5/5. I have tried a few of their other ramen but these two are my favorites; I hope the special becomes a regular line up menu. read more

For 40$ I got two litre containers of noodles with broth inside of the same containers. By the time I got them home (ten minutes) there was like two table spoons of broth left, maybe. I repeat, they were over 20 dollars each and the noodles were not packed separately. Ramen is already the cheapest takeout with highest markup. read more

I was on my way to the hotel and then I found this Japanese restaurant. Overall the noodle tasted good. I've been to many Ramen restaurants. I have to say this is not one of the best but it is the best one in this area. For someone who wants ramen, this is a good choice. The price is good; the choices are many and got my food fast enough. Not going to be picky for getting what it is supposed to be. Great Asian taste restaurant. Therefore a 5. read more

Tiger Ramen is possibly the best place to eat in Kamloops in terms of deliciousness, value, and consistency. I have never been disappointed by the food here, and I have probably been close to a hundred times since they opened about four years ago. It stands up to any of the best ramen places in Vancouver (Marutama, Kintaro, Ramen Butcher, Santouka) and is the only real ramen joint in Kamloops. On top of that, super friendly service and charming Japanese pop culture atmosphere. I highly recommend Tiger Ramen to anyone who's never tried it. My personal favourite: Tonkotsu Miso Ramen with extra noodles and a spicy ball. read more

When we were considering moving to Kamloops from Vancouver, lunch at Tiger assured my spouse that we could live here... and they've only gotten better since then by switching to their own noodles made in shop! My favourite is always the eponymous Tiger Ramen, a soy sauce flavoured mixed tonkatsu/chicken/fish broth, topped with half an egg, but sometimes fun to change it up with a Tiger Miso topped with butter and corn. Be sure to double check their Facebook site for hours or closures as it's small, local and family run. My only complaint is that other patrons eat too slowly! read more

On a cold snowy night some hot ramen sounded like a good plan. Unfortunately this place disappointed given the strong Yelp reviews. The noodles were nice, but everything was bland and none of the ingredients popped. There was no spark to get us wanting more. We also got a garlic chicken and rice bowl, which was terrible. The chicken was dry, and even the sauce tasted dry and pastey. read more

My favourite place in Kamloops to get ramen from. Staff is always friendly and the restaurant is very clean and cute.

As usual, the food was only surpassed by the wonderful staff and service. Malcolm read more

I had a rough day, but after my tonkotsu ramen, I had a wonderful evening! The flavor was spot on, service was delightful, and the ambience was authentic. I got to read some classic BeeBop Highschool manga comic while I waited! I'm a bit of a ramen snob, and was so wonderfully delighted with the honesty and simplicity of their offerings, unlike so many of the "westernized" ramen shops of our continent, where they tend to turn everything up to 11. Thank you, thank you, thank you! ごちそうさまでした^_^ read more

Wow! I can't believe I waited so long to try out Tiger Ramen! I'd eat here everyday if I could. As a vegetarian, I have always avoided ramen joints as more often than not there is nothing for me on the menu. However Tiger Ramen offers two different vegetarian options, which is a lot considering how small their menu is! I usually go for the spicy veggie ramen which they offer at whatever level of spice you can handle. The ramen here is amazing!! It is chock-full of veggies and noodles and if that isn't enough for you, you always have the option to request additional noodles for a small charge. The bowls look intimidating at first but somehow I always manage to finish mine off. As for service and atmosphere, Tiger Ramen is first rate! As other have mentioned, it feels like you've left Kamloops and walked into a small noodle joint in Japan. The servers are always smiling and friendly. It's always a treat to come here. read more

A favorite haunt for fans of both Ramen and Hayao Miyazaki and Manga - this place can do no wrong. I try a different ramen everytime but the veggie is by far my favorite. Stuffed full of veggies with a kombu-rich broth, it was once a university staple of mine. While you wait, take in the Miyazaki classic Ponyo, that is most frequently playing or read one of the many manga comic books they have on the shelf by the door. This small eatery offers kind and friendly staff coupled with a clean, cosy eating space and huge portions, this is a Kamloops must! (I deducted 1 star from what really should be a 5 star rating due to the loud Japanese pop music that is constantly played. I'm a fan of J-pop myself, but it makes for very difficult dinner conversation when you and your guests are shouting over each other whilst discussing Miyazaki's extensive body of work) read more

Between the delicious noodles, the friendly staff and miyazaki on the tv, there's nothing not to love. I've had ramen in Vancouver and Berlin and tiger ramen is as good as those places or better. For our small town, this place is a gem. read more
