I get Tenka at least once a week ever since I learned of its existence. Being a vegetarian can be very limiting but this is the best vegetarian ramen I have EVER had. I always get it with extra tofu - not because they dont give you enough but because I just love it so much! Its so crispy and perfect and fried to perfection yet the tofu is always perfectly cooked inside. Extremely reasonably priced and made very quickly!! Also pictured - mango bubble tea. Very good as well!
A cute little spot for ramen! I got shoyu ramen and takoyaki. Very authentic atmosphere! Takoyaki and the pork belly were very tender and delicious. Feels just like sitting in an anime scene. The server was nice and brought my food out hot and quickly despite it being a strange time of day.
A must for ramen. Chill, casual place for an excellent eat. Tonkotsu ramen and gyoza was top-notch! It's the best ramen I've eaten in uptown/midtown - Highly recommend. Great atmosphere. Limited table seating in the smaller space, but was not an issue at all on an early Tuesday evening. Very friendly service.
I ordered the chicken karaage and the shoyu ramen. The karaage was really juicy and the two dipping sauces on the side were extremely flavorful. For the ramen, the pork belly melted apart when it was consumed. Moreover, the broth was amazing and the noodles had the right firmness. The atmosphere was great with all the different Japanese decorations.
Just met the owner today - such an incredible hard working women. Love coming here for the food, service, and atmosphere. Definitely best ramen in Mpls.
We came here craving a hot meal on a day when the temperature was 0°F and were extremely satisfied.
The place is small and cozy and you need to order at the counter before you take a seat.
We started with Japanese Pork Bun and Gyoza. The Pork Bun was excellent and the Gyoza was delicious. We also had Spicy Miso Ramen and ended the meal with Taro Boba.

Yummy Japanese ramen! Due to inflation, price has gone up. Be ready to pay a few buck more but that’s everywhere now.
Broth was very flavorful and the pork was tender. The tokoyaki was good and had lots of benito flakes.
Small little restaurant, just order from the menu by the register and seat yourself and they’ll bring it out when ready. Would definitely go again.
Absolutely amazing. I drove 90 miles just for lunch it was that good the first time. Then brought friends the third time and one had to order a second bowl it was that good . I have no clue how he ate that much!!!!!! Their pork belly is what dreams are made of. Those who say others don't know ramen who give it a good review .. 🧐.... Every vacation I take we must as a rule stop at one candy store and eat ramen once if available wherever we are in the world...

Came into town for a business conference, on the last day, I had a few hours to kill and decided to grab some lunch and relax before facing the airport madness (turns out Minneapolis airport is superbly easy to get through and the staff had very friendly attitudes).
I looked up for a ramen place and all of them in the city seemed rather expensive with mediocre food/portions. Another reviewer said this place had generous serving sizes, so I booked a Lyft and came to check this place out.
The atmosphere is great, feels like a nice little family run ramen shop. Tip: the less fancy a ramen shop is, the more likely they have good tasting dishes.
I made my orders and sat down, and my food arrived in less than ten minutes. Like the reviewers said, their normal portion is good, but if you get extra soup or noodles, be prepared to get absolutely stuffed!
I'm the kind of guy who chomps down on a 24 ounce steak without problems, so imagine my surprise when I found myself super full after one tonkotsu with extra soup & noodles. It was basically a second serving without the toppings.
100% value for money.
Takoyaki was pretty good; I never tasted the sauce they used before so I was caught slightly off guard, but nice and chewy center with crunchy skin is nothing to complain about.
Enjoying delicious and hot ramen by the window while the cloudy cold winds blow outside was a perfect way to finish up my trip to Minneapolis, if I revisit some day, you bet I’m coming back here again.
I am so glad I found this hole in the wall here in Minneapolis. This place is beyond amazing. The ramen is so flavorful and each ingredient compliments each other so well, the bao buns are soft, and don’t get me started on the pork. Talk about melt in your mouth. I got the Tonkatsu ramen, Taro boba tea, and pork bao bun. Normally I am disappointed with bao buns but this place makes me want to come back for more. So good. Please take the time and make the decision to eat here! You will love it.
