I love shopping in little Japan. The food at express is fresh and delicious. My daughter and I are frequent visitors. You can't go wrong here.

I'm a great fan of Tensuke Express. I've eaten at a few ramen restaurants in the area and Tensuke Express is hands down the best place to get ramen. I had the tonkotsu ramen. The noodles are handmade and have an exquisite bouncy texture. The broth is rich and creamy and just the right level of saltiness. The restaurant is consistently clean and bright and the staff are pleasant and efficient. If you are going for lunch, I would recommend going right at 11 am, since the restaurant is least busy at this time.

Just got the udon since we also brought over some sushi from tensuke market to eat, but it was really good! The udon broth was really light but still rich and satisfying. The noodles tasted really fresh rather than like the frozen ones you can just buy from the store. And it was lot more filling than I expected. The service is also really quick. The whole process from putting in your order to getting your table and receiving your food is really efficient and it's not too hard at all to find seating.

We tried the ramen, gyoza and had the kimchi pork as a side. Everything was really good. The food came out really quickly, the staff was really helpful and knowledgeable and the restaurant was really clean.

This place is tied for my number one ramen spot in the Columbus area. Their Miso broth is crazy good. They are located in a small Japanese market with other Japanese establishments. Inside is clean and they have lively Japanese music. The staff doesn't really communicate with customers and just tap in orders. Their menu recently changed, and I am still trying to decide if it's better or worse. One thing that bothers me in this place is that their disposal is separated by item and there's a tub of mixed ramen fluid by the trash and it makes my ramen come up every time I look at it. Besides that, this place is a must-visit.

We loved Tensuke Express - very tasty and just what we wanted. Two of us had ramen -- I picked the miso base with pork added. So good! Hubs had the chicken ramen, the chicken pieces were big and the broth was good and mild. He might try a more spiced up ramen next time. Daughter had the Chicken Karaage and a pumpkin croquette. She said they were both great!The restaurant was clean and bright, ordering was easy and staff were efficient. We waited a bit for our orders, which wasn't surprising on a busy Friday at lunch time. Everything was hot and tasty.I would definitely go back, and check out the Japanese bakery and gift shop in the same center again as well.

Craving for some udon and Tensuke Express is the place to go. I added a side of pork katsu and an order of Takoyaki. They recently introduce a Japan Food Tour series and they have a combo set of special menu from different part of Japan. I actually didn't know I have to order it as a set until the staff mentioned that to me. So sadly I skipped this time as udon is what I felt at that moment.

I absolutely loved the ramen here. You order your food at the front and they give you a buzzer. The wait can take a while depending on how busy they are. The place itself is spacious with lots of seating. I highly recommend the tonkotsu ramen with char siu. Their broth is so flavorful and everything is just right!

If you are in the Columbus area, I highly recommend Tensuke Express if you are in the mood for ramen or curry. Their prices are great per portion for the most part; due to inflation it looks like they're cutting back on their generosity a bit (look at the amount of katsu they gave me in each pic)But everything tastes great. Love it.

I've had better Ramen but the pork cutlet and portion size is great for the price. It's a big hard to find a spot to sit and not for large groups. Self service .
