Been to a lot of ramen places in Japan and I think this is the best in Tampa I've tried. Also nice to see a little touch of the capsule machines, which are ubiquitous in Tokyo.

This spot is tucked away just off Kennedy in a small plaza--just a heads-up, parking is limited! Despite being on a busy street, the inside is surprisingly quiet and has a nice, relaxed atmosphere.The service was excellent, and the food was delicious! Everything felt very clean and well-maintained. They do close for lunch at 2:30 PM, but even though I arrived at 1:50, I never felt rushed. I placed my order, asked for the check in advance so I could wrap up quickly, and still had a great dining experience.The portions were generous, and the flavors were spot on! I'll definitely be back.

I went to Dosunco a while back when I was craving ramen. The restaurant is super cute! Staff were very friendly and eager to provide their menu recs. I ended up going with the dosunco ramen which is their base broth plus miso. Got the pork belly on the side, but the ground beef in the soup. The ramen egg and the pork belly were both delicious. The ramen broth was very warm and soothing, but honestly lacked flavor for me. The broth was also very salty which was unfortunate. I might try Dosunco again to see if it was just an off day, but would probably order a different menu item next time.

One of the best places in town to get karage. It's super crispy without being overly breaded.For the ramen... I appreciated the ingredients they put in and the quality of noodles used. I've been here before over 5 years ago and the ramen broth wasn't impressive then and unfortunately that hasn't changed. The broth tasted watered down. Interior is very nice and customer service is good.I would come back here, but I would not go out of my way as I have tried better ramen broths. Parking is VERY limited.

Cute small no frills eatery. Seating is somewhat limited, but we had no issues finding a seat. The ramen bowls are huge and pack a lot of flavor. There was both pork and ground meat in my ramen along with an egg, so it's definitely filling. The spicy edamame are pretty good. They good probably use a bit more flavor throughout. If you're in the area and want some pretty legit ramen, look no further.

First timer at Dosunco and I was impressed by the taste of the ramen! I ordered the Spicy Ramen and it was very delicious. I paired my ramen with a green tea and a side of takoyakiz, which was also blessed by the chefs behind the counter.It's a small location in the corner of a small plaza in the heart of Tampa. Limited parking just like everywhere else in Tampa. Our server was very kind and not intrusive. I definitely enjoyed my time and the food. Will be back again when I'm in the area and in the mood to get spicy for lunchtime.

Very small establishment and parking is a squeeze! 1 parking spot left when we arrived so I guess it was meant to be. Upon entering you are not greeted by anyone, instead there is a hostess stand with a pad of paper for you to sign in with your name, arrival time, party size and phone number. The paper also advises to sign in and wait outside. It's small inside and PACKED so I know why the advisement! I'm really not a fan of ramen places but hubs is so I went along. Not a fan because I feel like I can make better ramen at home for the cost. And to be honest, it has never been really rave worthy to me. So this place is in that same bucket for me. It was ok and that's it. We started with the Karaage which is basically Japanese fried chicken. It came with a dipping sauce similar to spicy mayo. It was piping hot. Breading was light but the chicken had chewy areas that grossed me out. I am very picky about my chicken and that 1 piece did it for me where I couldn't eat anymore. On to the ramen. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen without the bamboo shoots because they are just weird tasting and gross. The flavor of the broth was tasty, better than my hubs Dosunco Ramen. To me his had a bad aftertaste. My pork was melt in your mouth tender. I left satisfied with the ramen. Service was ok. Just be prepared to be patient, I only counted 3 people working and I'm sure due to the place being crowded and limited staff was why it was slower service.

One of the best ramen spots in Tampa. The broth was divine and the craft beers are gulp-worthy. The gyoza are a must-order. Those saying they thought the karage was bland prolly didn't put the lemon juice on it to draw out the flavours. Service was also quick and the ambiance reminds me of a casual ramenya.Btw they also have vending machines in the back where you can get lil Japanese collectibles. I got a Hello Kitty pin :)

Cute little spot for Ramen. I wouldn't come here if you have a large group...it is a quaint establishment. With that being said, we were seated immediately, considering it was a Friday night. The waiter, who I believe was the manager, was very accommodating and professional. The menu is not large. Pretty straight forward. The Karaage chicken was phenomenal! 5 stars for size of chicken pieces, crunch and flavor. The ramen was good but I truly have had better. I'm not sure if it was the noodle texture that wasn't my fave. I did like the pork as well as the ground beef combo in the ramen. It did add some heartiness.

I really liked this place. Authentic Japanese food it is not, but if you're a little weeb just looking for a hot bowl of soup in a really cute themed restaurant, this place is fantastic. The service was impeccable and the food was all great. I'd definitely come back here on future trips to Tampa.
