SO GOOD - takeout was packed so well - literally every ramen place should take a lesson. First come, first serve, so I ordered on the phone and ate in the car. It was seriously so good. I got the miso butter ramen and even though I'm just here 1 more night, I might just have to go back. Seriously impressed.

Holy cow. This place is delicious. Parking is not great, but it's worth dealing with parking to eat here. The shoshito peppers are a must. The spicy ramen is just spicy enough. And the drinks are perfect. I had a sake-tini with pear sake. So good. Our group was seated pretty quickly, but I could tell we were lucky in our timing as by the time we left there was a huge wait. Check this place out!

If you enjoy ramen, you'll undoubtedly enjoy Tamashii. I've visited the Midtown and Edmond locations, and both are different. The downtown location is dark and crowded with a hole-in-the-wall feel, while Edmond is more modern and upscale. The important thing is both have great ramen and outstanding service. What's funny is that - unlike pho, khao soi, and other Asian noodle dishes - traditional ramen really fills me up. I love it, but I feel it in my gut the rest of the day. So on my most recent visit, I decided to try the mazemen. OH. MY. GOSH! It is amazing. Be sure to get the egg mixed in. The noodles are thicker than regular ramen, and they are sauced so well. The portion is large enough to fill up and have a decent amount left for lunch the next day. The flavor is wonderful. I will probably add corn the next time. As mentioned previously, service is always great. Ramsey served us this last visit, and I credit him for recommending the egg.

Adding an additional review where I got their butter corn ramen, curry with karaage, pan fried rice and shishito peppers. Prompt and attentive service and the interior atmosphere will always be cool. Recommended and I want to try out their new spot in Norman!

I absolutely love Tamashii! I get ramen at least every couple months if I'm in the downtown area and it is always delicious! Only downside is if you come with a party- all members must be there to be seated and they don't take reservations! I have tried all the ramen flavors and my favorite is the classic Tonkatsu ramen. You cannot go wrong with it!! The flavors are perfect, and I alternate between Shio and Shoyu because I always forget what I ordered last, lol. My least favorite is the curry ramen, but mainly because I already make a mean Japanese curry and I'm used to it being on rice instead of noodles! My husband likes this one though! If you're craving authentic ramen, this (and Goro) are the places to go!

Get here early. We happen to be driving in from Dallas and walked in. We were lucky enough to grab 3 patio bar seats. Otherwise indoor seating was packed and there was quite a wait for a table. The bonus about sitting on the patio is that there was a heater above us so we were nice and toasty (it was a bit of a chilly day, 50deg) Even tho the host said that the noodle maker was on the Fritz, we got our ramen pretty quickly. Butter miso corn broth was milky and full of flavor. We loved searching the soup to find corn, scallion, and sliced bamboo. The best part was the noodle. It had a bite to it and paired with the silky broth, you just kept wanting another bite and another bite.. The chashu bowl was so savory and the pork was chopped and sitting on top of the rice. Great alternative to ramen if you aren't craving noodles. The bowls are kinda small so do you self a favor and order the large (it's not large like usual Texas size bowls.) I loved the shishito pepper appetizer, has a great sauce and out of all the peppers only one was spicy.

Experience was fine. Not too long of a wait on a Friday at noon for a party of 4. Takoyaki was crispy and octopus chunk was good. Spicy miso ramen with tofu subbed in for meat was good, a bit too much corn for me. The noodles had a great consistency though! I'll probably opt for a different ramen next time for better toppings hehe. Service was kind and refilled my water as needed :) Took a long time to collect our bill. Overall, a good experience!
