Great ramen bowls and sushi!
I made my second visit last night and will continue to return. The food is great, the service is excellent, and the price is just right.
The Tamashi's Menn bowl came with delicious pork and grilled shrimp, and was wonderfully savory. I also tried the Curry Tsukemen bowl, and it was so full of flavor that I could have died happy. The crunch of the fried kani was a fantastic compliment to the creamy broth and the cabbage soaked the flavor while providing another bit of crunchy texture. The soft-boiled eggs in both dishes were great additions. Seriously, check out the rest of the ingredients in these dishes, because there are a lot!
The sushi that we've had has all been fresh and delicious. The Houston Roll was a favorite, and my partner, who doesn't usually like cream cheese in his sushi, enjoyed the way it blended with the other ingredients in this roll. The Hot Papa roll was one of my favorites as I enjoy fresh, raw sushi with a little something spicy. My favorite roll of the night was the New Moon roll. The sweet chili sauce gave the roll a very light sweetness that enhanced the fresh fish and balance the spicy salmon and pepper tuna.
We had the Brussels sprouts and the chashu don 2.0 on our first visit, and we were pleased with both. The Brussels sprouts could have had a touch less sauce, but the pork was divine!
We also got the Mount Fuji Roll, and while we all liked it well enough, it was our least favorite. First of all, it's quite messy to eat as crunchy bits go everywhere. Also, the masago is rarely balanced with each bite because it is piled on in a pyramid structure with four pieces of sushi in two piles. I enjoy all of the ingredients; perhaps the structure of the presentation just wasn't the best for our tastes.
One other criticism I would add is about the tiny stools opposite the booths. They're very cute, but not comfortable to relax in. I don't mind sitting on a stool at a bar, but if I'm eating a lot, I want a back to my chair to lean into once I've stuffed myself! Not a big enough gripe to detract a star, from, though, especially considering how good the prices are.
Overall, this place rocks! I wish that they served alcohol, but sadly, they do not. I'll have to pre-game with the happy hour at the wine bar next door and go eat sushi and ramen to sober up again. Not a bad...
Read moreAfter reading the reviews I had to check this place out.
Went in for lunch at about 12:30 pm on Thursday and there were two people dining. I was politely greeted by a couple of smiling employees. They were courteous and quickly brought a menu followed by my drinks as I looked the menu over. They did not rush me even as the place started to fill with hungry clients.
I decided to go for their signature Tamashi Menn ramen bowl. Very pleased in my choice as it was delicious and filling.
The ramen noodles were cooked to perfection as was the chicken, shrimp, egg and more. The broth was very tasty but not spicy enough for my taste untill added hot sauce to kick the heat up after a few bites.
By 1 pm there were was only 1 table and 3-5 seats available.
The food was top notch and the service and prices are hard to beat.
I would recommend this place for Ramen and let you know when I try the fresh looking Sushi @ Sashimi. Look forward to...
