Tsuta Ramen & Poke

Place is a more than a bit sad and desolate and service is strained, but food is actually alright. Strip mall Ramen and Poke place that seems to have seen better days. Fountain soda machine is out of service. One side of the dining room was roped off. One TV was fairly loudly playing a Japanese TV channel but several others were off. There was only one worker during the dinner hour. As a result of the limited help, that worker needed to take orders, man the cash register, make the food, bring the food out and bus tables, clean, etc. There were only two other tables occupied when we went but service was overloaded. The worker needs to make each dish, one at a time and then bring them out. I can see if you are behind a few orders that the wait could be quite lengthy. And they charge a mandatory 15% tip for dining in when this is not a full service restaurant, due to "tough times."We ordered pork buns as a starter and I had a Tonkostsu ramen bowl. We waited at least fifteen to twenty minutes until the worker came over and I was surprised that he brought the Tonkotsu, not the pork buns starter. Frankly I wasn't expecting much given the general situation visible here, but the ramen was fairly decent. Not great but a fairly decent bowl, better than many I've had. It had a creamy tonkotsu broth with a slightly funky taste and an ok assortment of toppings including a few thin slices of braised chashu with a nice flavor, a half egg that could have been slightly more well done, bamboo shoots, scallions, some spinach (not nori) and some ok noodles. Then we waited about another 15 minutes before he brought out the pork buns and a Poke bowl. The pork buns were a bit different with a fairly thick piece of pork covered with barbecue sauce and carrot bits and some small crunchy bits. So-so on the pork buns. The Poke bowl was reported to be good. There are worse places, but would not go out of my way to come here.

We ordered out via Doordash from Tsuta Ramen & Poke. I hadn't been feeling well and Ramen was the only thing the sounded semi good so I thought let's give it a try. Our order was set to arrive between 5:30-5:50, but at 5:27 I received an update that it would be delayed by a hour. Not the end of the world, but a hour is a significant delay. Once the food arrived I can confidently sat it was worth the wait! Wow, was it good. They charge by ingredient for the build your own bowl option so it is pricey, but if you do not want the hassle of making it yourself this is the place to go!We ordered a build your own poke bowl with Carrot, cucumber, jalapeno, spicy salmon, cilantro, onion, green, tempura flake, dried seaweed, sesame seed, chicken, white rice, and spicy mayo ($20.50). We also got a ramen bowl with cilantro, spinach, green onion, hard boiled egg, chicken, tempura flakes, beef broth, ramen noodle ($29.25). Both were very good and we will be returning!

Im not really a ramen person so ordering was a bit of a challenge but with a little assistance I had an awesome bowl of Ramon with spicy miso soup, bamboo shoots and duck that was just awesome. The spicy miso was so tasty and the duck was delicious. They offer both takeout and a dinning room and we chose to dine in. The service was great with the good individually prepared so there was a bit of a wait. Highly recommend a visit!

I went here one night with two friends, two of us got Poke and one got Ramen. The ramen was OK but nothing spectacular- it hits the spot if you want something warm and nourishing, but there's better Ramen in town. The Poke was fresh and lovely. Service was a little slow but very kind and pleasant. And the service was slower because everything was made from scratch and Ramen takes a little time to assemble, we were there just before closing so there was only one cook. That's fine but if you're in a big rush, don't go just before close. It was a lovely meal and I'll go back when I'm in the neighborhood again.

Pretty good. I never understood the hype about going out to eat ramen before. Finally came to a ramen place and I totally get it now. The food was good. The staff was friendly and helpful. The establishment was kept clean.

Just to clarify when I said "the food may be great" - we chose not to buy any food. If the food is great, we will never know.

TERRIBLE service. I was there with my family today, ordered on the counter, and when it came to tip, I skipped it because I didn't have any service. The employee said they were going to cancel my order, or change it "to go". Turns out there is a 15% mandatory tip in order to sit at the restaurant. RIDICULOUS!! We ended up ordering to go, and eating in the car. Food was just fine. While waiting 40 minutes for our food noticed the rest of the restaurant was messy and unkempt. Won't be going back.

The food wasn't great. Had mandatory tip in order to dine in (because times are hard) yes they said that when I asked why. $80 was insane. I've made better tasting ramen at home. Not worth the experience and definitely won't be going back. The portions of the food could barely feed a 5 year old for what we paid. It was just terrible all together

Place was a mess and the gentleman at the counter was rude. We still tried to order but he kept saying there was a 15% service charge to eat inside the restaurant. He clearly didn't want us to stay so we left. There are a lot of other Poke places so I'd recommend going elsewhere.

Delicious food, big portions, clean restaurant, friendly owners! I go here a few times a month. The spicy creamy ramen is amazing. The poke bowls are so good. Can't go wrong with miso or creamy mushroom ramen either. Everything we've ordered is delicious.
