Tomo Ramen and Izakaya

I've been here twice in the last couple of months and I absolutely love this spot! Great, authentic food, friendly staff and pretty decent prices especially for the quality that you get. The presentation of everything is so pretty too! On top of all that, everyone there is very patient with me when I try to use some of my very limited Japanese :)

We were surprised to find this place empty on a Friday evening, especially considering how delicious the food was. We ordered the Sake flight, a Gokyo sake bottle, Tonkotsu ramen, chicken Donburi, chicken Nest Ramen, Gyoza, and Edamame. Every dish came in generous portions—a rare treat these days—and we all left with leftovers. The ingredients were high quality, and each broth was rich and flavorful. We did add extra chili oil for a spicier kick, though that’s likely just our personal preference. The restaurant had a calm, inviting atmosphere, and the staff were friendly and attentive. The only downside was that my Tonkotsu had a bit less pork belly than expected. Still, it was a great experience overall. Definitely planning to come back.

so delicious! one of the food carts nearby that we wanted to go to was closed so we have this place a try. so glad we did! the service was wonderful, all the ladies were so sweet to us. prices were amazing for the huge portion sizes. food was absolutely delicious with beautiful presentations. we will most definitely be back!

This place was literally so perfect and amazing. The staff was SOOO nice and sat us right away, food was INCREDIBLE and so delicious, not to mention the portions are HUGE. The place was so cute and perfect to take pictures

Amazing food. A few excellent gluten-free and gluten friendly options. Comfortable outside dining area.

Must visit! Best ramen place by far. Soyu chicken broth has more chicken flavor than the creamer Classic chicken broth. Bowls were huge and more than I could eat. So much meat! 3 pieces of chicken breast, a whole chicken thigh and drumstick grilled to perfection! Prices range from 17 to 21, however, Easily good value for money too.

delicious food, hostess/server was super sweet. I'm gluten free and asked if the chicken kara age was GF, she said they usually use wheat flour but thought they could use potato starch instead. She went to the kitchen and the chef whipped up a GF batter and fried the chicken, they taste tested before she came back to let me know they could make it happen :) hard to find such quality service and quality assurance testing ;) portions are HUGE

Great vegetarian selections. We used to come here when it was Shoko. Sad to see it go, but grateful that there is still a really great ramen place there. We've been to the other location multiple times and got to say, it doesn't disappoint. We usually order agadashi tofu, but was pleasantly surprised by the jalapeno poppers, lightly breaded, tofu was mixed in with the cream cheese and the little garnish side salad was sesame oil based. I always get the veggie miso ramen and my husband ordered their classic tomo ramen. They have a great sake selection as well. Delighted in every way.

I grew up in this neighborhood and it's great to comeback to some amazing food! This was my first time eating here and I give it 5 stars. The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, and the staff was amazing! The food was excellent on top of everything. Fresh ingredients, big portions, and it all came out very quickly. Will be coming here again, thanks for the amazing food today.

UGH!! They played loud rap music in the background that left me with a headache for the rest of the day. It was annoying and didn't really suit the atmosphere of the restaurant. We ordered the food from a kiosk that was right in front of the door, so if someone was trying to get in, they'd have to wait for the people using the kiosk to move. That layout was strange. The food portion was generous and filling! We ordered the karaage don ($16.60), tonkotsu miso ramen ($17.50), and spicy seafood ramen ($20) and we feel like the karaage don was the best out of everything. The chicken was juicy and I loved the sauces that it came on the side. My family felt like the ramen was average, even a little bland. It did come with a lot of toppings though, which was great. The service was also a bit slow and it was borderline agonizing having to listen to the loud rap music playing in the background while we waited for the food to arrive. I'd recommend trying this place for the food, not to experience the ambiance.

Love this spot. One of my faves. Great food and Japanese beer on tap. Sake flights. What more can you ask for.

AMAZING authentic ramen. Great 80s music. Love this place. Totally worth the price. Would go back 100 times. And I'm pretty picky!

If you've been to the first location on Hawthorne, quality and service is the same. The bowls of ramen are larger than other restaurants. As far as taste, I'd give it a 3/5. Staff was very attentive and the food came out very quick.

I got the tonkotsu ramen and it was alright. The broth was ok, the meat was pretty good, but I think there was a bit too much of the other toppings. Service was pretty good, everything came out quick.

I'm a huge ramen fan and my spicy seafood ramen last night (my first visit) was among the best I've had. The seafood was abundant, and the noodles and spice level perfect. This is a bold statement in Portland, but it's better than Afuri, and less expensive. Not horribly busy (yet). Great service. And Japanese-American owned and operated. I'll be back soon and often!

I was concerned immediately when picking up an order for takeout that felt like it was 20lbs. This place is to Ramen what Saburos is to sushi. Huge portions, terrible quality. The Chashu pork was large, but dry, too thickly cut, and tough chunks of fat. But the worst part was the Tonkatsu broth which should be the star. It's like they ran low on broth, and then watered it down with tap water. My wife will normally eat anything we've already paid for, but once she tasted the broth, she put her utensils down and went hungry. It was that bad and concerning. Overall just a bizarre experience. They should cut the portions in half(or more) and focus on quality, otherwise I don't think this location will last long.

With many good reviews and a cute restaurant vibe we gave this place a try... and immediately regret our decision. This is the most low brow ramen we have ever encountered. The broth, which for many ramen shops is often the star of the show, was so watered down there was no flavor. The meat was dry, tough and flavorless. The noodles cheap and unappealing. The food, while abundant, was inedible. Adding condiments did not improve the fare. I hate wasting food but this ramen was so terrible we couldn't eat it and threw it out after a few bites.

Best ramen in town. We loved the Hawthorne location and this new location in Woodstock lives up to the legacy. Noodle to toppings ratio is perfect, broth is super flavorful, and service was excellent. Highly recommend. Great layout for kids!

Great place to eat, imbibe wiskey & beer. Service was fast, friendly. Nice presemtation, nice ambience

Big portions, tasty, and quick service! I could go on but I am too busy eating the delicious chicken Ramen I just ordered while enjoying a beer and sake.

staff are friendly, the place is clean and has a nice modern vibe with mostly black and red colors. the ramen was alright. i think it needs a bit more noodles and a bit less of everything else. they don't skimp on the toppings thats for sure! The cha su pork was honestly a bit too much because they gave alot of very thick slices, but they melt in your mouth and actually have flavor compared to other places. The prices may look a bit high and im not too sure if its worth the price, but you do at the very least get a very large bowl of noodles.

Tomo is amazing and one of the beat Ramen houses I have ever been to. The new location in Woodstock has excellent service and atmosphere. The miso Ramen is to.die for so lucky that it is now in my neighborhood.
