I ordered the chicken karaage and the shoyu ramen. The karaage was really juicy and the two dipping sauces on the side were extremely flavorful. For the ramen, the pork belly melted apart when it was consumed. Moreover, the broth was amazing and the noodles had the right firmness. The atmosphere was great with all the different Japanese decorations.

Saw a TikTok about Tenka Ramen, so I decided to stop in with a friend. We were greeted right away, and ordering was simple and easy. Our ramen didn’t take too long to come to our table. I ordered the #2 Tonkotsu Ramen. The pork belly and egg were tasty, but the broth was lackluster; didn’t add much to the overall flavor of the dish. In addition, there was too much chopped scallions in the dish (for my preference). Overall, not particularly impressed by the ramen, but I’d eat here again.

A must for ramen. Chill, casual place for an excellent eat. Tonkotsu ramen and gyoza was top-notch! It’s the best ramen I’ve eaten in uptown/midtown – Highly recommend. Great atmosphere. Limited table seating in the smaller space, but was not an issue at all on an early Tuesday evening. Very friendly service.

We came here craving a hot meal on a day when the temperature was 0°F and were extremely satisfied.

Every city I visit, I must have a good ramen before I leave. I chose tenka ramen based on their overall reviews and I was quite disappointed. A red flag went up immediately when I saw a sriracha sauce at every table – authentic Japanese ramen places do not give you sriracha sauce to enhance the ramen flavor because it does the opposite – it *offsets* the pork ramen broth flavors! As I predicted, their shoyu ramen was one of the worse I have had. I noticed right away that the broth was quite oily and that pork ramen broth flavor was very minimal. Chashu pork was about 7 out of 10 as it was a bit tougher than what I get at legit ramen places.

My sister and I have been wanting delicious ramen and have had a difficult time trying to find one with decent reviews, prices, and hours. This is IT. The person who greeted us to take our order was so friendly, I wish I had grabbed her name. It’s definitely a small place, but with the location, it’s somewhat expected. The menu is also small but that’s ok because everything is delicious. We had the gyoza, tonkotsu, and shoyu. I don’t know if I’ve had a better tasting ramen up to that point. It’s definitely worth trying! Thank you Tenka Ramen, we will be back!

Absolutely amazing. I drove 90 miles just for lunch it was that good the first time. Then brought friends the third time and one had to order a second bowl it was that good . I have no clue how he ate that much!!!!!! Their pork belly is what dreams are made of. Those who say others don’t know ramen who give it a good review .. …. Every vacation I take we must as a rule stop at one candy store and eat ramen once if available wherever we are in the world…

I always come here for takeout and for their pork bun. Best pork buns I ever have, the meat was thick and not fatty, tasted great with the sauce and cucumber. Their ramens are also great, one of the best in state, although could be a bit salty but I assumed that’s how it supposed to be. The only downside is they only gave you half an egg and it was sweet, I don’t really like my entree sweet but it still a hit and their service definitely made up for it. They also have the bar stools set up for more individual dining, giving the vibe of Japan. If you want great foods with great atmosphere and don’t mind the downtown parking you’ll definitely won’t regret it.
