Tomoko

I've been here a couple of times now, once with friends and once with my partner. Everyone who has tried the food has loved it. The selection isn't large, but it's big enough that it's hard to decide each time. There are some interesting drinks and dishes. Eg. fish balls as a ramen topping, yuzu soda and talyaki(fish shaped sweet waffle) The takoyaki is the best I have had, the sapporo ramen broth has a good level of spice to it or if you are feeling a bit braver or you just like spicy food try the Kumamoto ramen this has a real kick to it. This is a must try if you like Japanese, ramen or are just in the area. I will definitely be coming back to work my way around the menu.

Had the sapporo ramen with pork belly which came to 17.00 for that money it was a little bland tasting, could do with more pork though, paid the extra for it and got 6 tiny little chunks of pork. Coffee is really good though.

Clean, friendly, and tasty. My family certainly has enjoyed their cheeky stay. The menu is professional and simple. We had 3x Ramen for 12.50 GBP each and 3x Coke for 2 GBP a can. Points for consideration: Offering 'eat-ins' without the provision of a toilet is a real downside although it is not a requirement with fewer than 10 seats. Serving time, and taking orders: 23 minutes seems a long time for letting the customer select their food. Since there was no other customer in the store we favourably assumed the kitchen must have been busy with orders. Although the prices are a nudge too high for us to return, we shall recommend the food when asked.

I've been looking for a fairly local place that does ramen and Tomoko Ramen was what we found. A few things. This place had very few reviews and a high rating. This left me and my party somewhat skeptical, especially when we found out that this place has been open for over a year. Why so few reviews? Two reasons. #1: The opening times of Tomoko Ramen are somewhat unusual. #2: It would appear they do a lot of business on apps such as Deliveroo / Just Eat, so there are more reviews on there than there is on Google. Anyway, back to the review. The food here was brilliant and the menu is set out in a way that is easy to understand. The menu isn't huge but there's enough on offer. I found it hard deciding between several options as many of their menu items sounded really good. Also, very good takoyaki here, albeit a bit smaller than I'm used to, but still very good! The service here is great. Very accommodating and friendly. Overall very polite. There's also a stamp card for drinks made in-house which is a nice touch. The atmosphere is very cozy. Tomoko Ramen is VERY small which adds to that coziness. I'd say it's a bit smaller than what I'm used to as for most of our time there myself and my party were the only ones there. But if you're looking to a place where you want quiet and music to accompany the atmosphere, this is definitely the place. We'll definitely be coming back here at some point!
