Tanto Gyoza and Ramen Bar

February 4, 2025FREE PARKING the day I went.Upon entering the lot the arm automatically lifted up and it didn't require me to pull a parking ticket. It seems like the parking lot got a facelift and it was newly paved. Parking in a stall near the entrance of Tanto's. When I left the exit arm automatically lifted and let me out without payment. Came back this time for the Ramen. Ordered the Tonkotsu Black which is delicious. Service was great. I definitely recommend this establishment. I'll be back.

Me and a couple of friends try to get together about every other month, and we decided on trying this place for the first time. We had reservations and were seated. It's a small, clean place, but it feels pretty spacious.As we looked through the menu, the waitress brought us some water. We decided to share an order of their gyoza. They are on the smaller size (similar to ones in Japan) with a nice crunch and taste. We all ordered our own ramen. All the food came out promptly. The ramen was tasty, with the noodles cooked perfect and the soup base full of flavor. Overall, we enjoyed the food here. The parking wasn't too bad (but it was a Wednesday night). We would go back and try some of their other menu items, like their appetizers. Maybe we can invite a lot of friends and do the 100 piece gyoza!!!

Very small quaint place in Puck's Alley. You would never notice it unless someone takes you there! Very extensive menu! I ordered the Combo lunch that included choice of Ramen, salad, gyoza and rice bowl. Shoyu Ramen was delicious with 1/2 egg, and garniches. My piece of charshu was chewy! The gyoza was cute and tiny but crunchy and delicious! Took my rice bowl with chicken karage for take home.

Went here on a Saturday night and overall had a pretty good time. First, a heads up--there's only paid parking, and they don't validate, so keep that in mind if you're driving. We got there to find all the inside seating was taken, but they had space outside, which worked out fine. We started with drinks: a lemon sour and a lilikoi version of it, both in the "mega" size. Unfortunately, these were pretty disappointing. Both were way too watered down, and there was just a ridiculous amount of ice in them, so the flavors kind of got lost.On the bright side, the cold tofu with spicy sauce was really good. The tofu was firm and had a nice texture, though I was hoping for a bit more spice in the sauce. Still, it was a solid dish.My husband and friend ordered the 16-piece gyoza, and they absolutely loved it. They mentioned the gyoza had a perfect balance of crispy and juicy, and it came with a trio of sauces--salt, ponzu, and chili oil. I couldn't try it since it's pork, but they were raving about it.I went with the Tanto Creamy Goma Ramen, and wow, it was so delicious. The broth was creamy without being too heavy, and I had them put the ground meat on the side. Honestly, I could've used a soft-boiled egg in the bowl, but the broth alone made up for it. It was so flavorful, I'll definitely be coming back for this.Despite a couple of hiccups with the drinks, I'm really glad we found this place. The ramen alone makes it worth coming back, and I can see it becoming one of my regular spots for sure! Also, the staff were super nice, friendly and helpful. I Always appreciate great staff.

So cute, very clean and organized unlike many little Ramen and Islzakya joints. The Sake clams were fantastic and I could drink the broth. Loved the red tonkatsu ramen not that spicy. Use app to pay for parking in little lot. No tickets no need to checkout just leave the lot.

12/27/24Well, we're back This time I had the shoyu ramen and tried the thin sliced pork with ponzu. Both really good. Their waitlist app works great! We signed up as we were approaching. By the time we parked and ealk d over our table was ready. Mithras really busy. People are nice and they sure hustle. Thank you again! Wanted a light dinner, Japanese noodles. Yelp came through!Searched and found Tanto, signed upOn waitlist and headed over. Easy parking, enter through University Ave. We were in the queue for a table. Seated, server made suggestions and in no time, we had our ramen. Tanto is so convenient. Service was good, ramen was good. I had the creamy sesame with thick noodles, flavorful! We had the order of 8 gyoza... seemed like a vegetarian gyoza. It was ok. In and out in 30 minutes perfect for our Sunday night quick meal. We will be back

Great find in Pucks Alley! Gyoza is on point. Nice crispy bottom, tasty stuffing. Comes with a small dish of salt, chili oil, and ponzu but you really don't need it because the gyoza has tons of flavor. I ordered the 3G Ramen. Garlic 3 different ways...roasted, fried, and garlic powder. This dish had tons of flavor! Wow! The noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy. My wife and son loved their ramen dishes also. Would definitely go back and try their different ramens dishes.

Came here on a weekday night for dinner. They were working on the parking lot so we had to park on the street.We ordered the following itemsTakowasa - standardGyoza- good but they only brought out 2 sauce trays for 3 peopleRed tonkotsu - favorite broth of the 3 ramenShoyu - one of the better shoyu broths I've had recently Red hot chili ramen - spice adds up over time plus my friend got it even more spicy.Lilikoi hour - refreshing drink and not too sweet !Both times I've been here i have been satisfied with the food. Portions are are a little smaller than other ramen shops but taste better than many others.

Ramen was ok for $17.75 Takoyaki $9.757.5|10I was ordering "Ice Green Tea" and it comes out just like other unsweetened ice green tea with the basic skinny tall glass then I knew I was ordering the wrong drink so I apologized to the server then show her the picture with the name of the drink I want to order. It came out with the exactly same glass, same color of green tea just look exactly like the 1st one I ordered and it's not what I wanted... it's just nothing like the picture, the glass, the color of the drink and I got charged $6.50 for that. The correct name of the drink, price, and container should be Green tea high $6 and the glass just like the picture I showed to the server. Thank you. We love the ambience. 10|10 Parking : 1st hour FREE then $3/hour

Amazing gyoza and great and friendly service! Ramen is good too. Nice ambiance inside and outside. Highly recommend!
