Tamashi Ramen Sushi- Silber Spring Branch

My friend and I came here to get some food 20 minutes before watching a movie in a nearby cinema. I was worried that it would take much time for them to prepare/cook the 2 different ramen orders but to my surprise, we fortunately got our ramen in 5 minutes or less. The waitress Jade answered me promptly when I asked about our different noodles. She was accomodating to us and she cleaned the other table neatly and no noise. Kudos to her! It's not my first time coming to this location of Tamashi. It has always been clean here and service is fast.

Greatest experience! The waiters were sweet and always made sure to check up on us. The food was absolute perfection! The anime manga decoration is eye catching. We loved it and will be coming back again soon!

Came by after our mani-pedi next door. Food was good, service was prompt. They also have a point system card.

Inexpensive and delicious ramen (miso and tonkatsu). The salmon and California were great, too. They also have a Malaysian menu!

Service- went on a Friday evening- there was a brief 15 min wait for my cousin, sister and I. But upon arrival the hostess and servers were so sweet Food- the flavor speaks for itself. The brussel sprouts are delicious, sweet savory sauce but it's a minuscule portion- not worth the cost. Also ordered the salmon roll- it was good. The chicken Karaage was top tier- came out piping hot and season well. And for the main entre I had the Tamashi's menn. With extra chili paste- it definitely hit the umami spot.

Another great location of consistently great ramen, sushi, rolls and other Japanese favorites. Go to spot for ramen and sushi. Fast casual midrange Japanese food with friends and family. Consistent execution of good ramen and sushi. Reasonable prices and good quality provide provide value which makes it our goto spot for a nice meal. This isn’t an upscale romantic dinner place and you don’t pay for that ambiance either. Service is friendly, helpful and efficient. The slightly smaller venue can lead to wait times especially if you have more than four people in your party. If you only have one or two and are willing to sit at the sushi bar you can get in and out very quickly. There’s a good amount of parking right in front. It’s located along the outskirts of the Marq center so parking isn’t crowded and fairly accessible.

This is primarily a Japanese restaurant, but they also offer a surprisingly authentic Malaysian menu with dishes that truly capture the essence of Malaysian cuisine. It’s a unique combination that adds an exciting twist to the dining experience.

food is amazing, service is amazing and the spicy tonkatsu ramen is to die for, ive been coming here twice a week just for the ramen and sake or sometimes soju!

Best ramen place I've been to in Houston. Reasonable price ramen for very close to ramen in Japan. Kata robata has slight edge but pricing is not comparable.

Went to this location last time. It's not our first time, but it's my first time trying the shrimp ramen. The soup was delicious, however, for someone who doesn't like seafood taste, the soup might be too fishy. My husband was not able to handle the shrimp soup. However, other ramens were great and the shaggy dog rolls were yummy. Only downfall, this location is smaller and less parking, so if you come during rush hours, might need to wait.

Tamashi is always my go to when I'm craving ramen. Me and my friends got the Tamashi mein and the curry ramen. The Tamashi mein is my favorite thing to order because of the sweet and savory broth, the perfectly soft boiled egg, the delicious shrimp skewer, and charsu pork! You really get a lot for your money and it all pairs so well together. (10/10) The curry ramen is also extremely flavorful and perfect if you are looking for a richer and more spicy broth. The cripsy fried imitation crab is also such a unique topping of the ramen and adds so much to the flavor. (9/10) The staff is super friendly and attentive and the service is quick. I highly recommend for a casual cheap eat!

The staff was super friendly and was very kind to me. After a long day, this was a great place to relax and enjoy some delicious Ramen and Sushi. The quality was very very fresh and flavorful! They had a movie on with subtitles, which I enjoyed by myself. However there are plenty of other tables to bring others if you prefer company! 100% Recommend visiting here. You will not regret it!

First time here and everything was amazing! Place was packed and we had a short wait. All staff were very attentive and nice. Food came out fast, hot and fresh. Will definitely be back.

The food was so good. My ramen, I had the tamashi menn, was delicious and I added fish cakes too. We had two apps, the fried octopus and the chicken nuggets, and those where just amazing. The staff was so attentive and paid attention to us even when the restaurant was beginning to fill up. The restaurant was small and quaint, nice for a quick meal or even to eat with friends!

Service was good, clean inside, they even decorated for Halloween! The ramen was really good. Broth was fantastic and had great flavors. The meat in it wasn't too fatty and the noodles were cooked perfectly. It was also the perfect serving size too!

I ordered takeout and it was fantastic!! Definitely want to dine in some time soon. I got the skydiver roll and the sushi sashimi combo. Both were fresh and delicious!

Greeted as we walked in and seated right away. Service was fast and pleasant. Casual family friendly but hard for large groups. The space is small. On the menu there is lots to choose from... but I wanted noodles and soup and when I saw curry... the decision was made. I ordered the Curry Tsukemen (delicious full bodied curry soup with a fun display of toppings, the noodle had a nice chew to them. A hug in a bowl). Shared parking lot. I guess it's all about turnover. They were very quick to clear a dishes and bring the bill. I'd come back.

For lunch I ate sushi here and food was good but the prices was super high! Me alone, the bill was $30 with hot tea (on a cold day) and I got 2 sushi's. I recommend but if your ok paying those prices I do recommend it

This place is so good! And the customer service is really great! I'm not a big fan of ramen but today i decided to be adventurous and try something new, this place did not disappoint.

Decided to try tamashi for the first time and it did not disappoint! The shop is tiny and has cute decor on the wall. The ramen is a pretty good price! I had the shoyu ramen and it was delicious. It was the perfect amount and came out so fast. Service was great, they came by to constantly fill our waters. Great spot for fast and good ramen!

OMG LOVE!!!! I absolutely love the Tamashi's menn ramen. As a ramen lover but not a pork eater; it's extremely hard to find ramen that doesn't include pork yet taste delicious. Adorable and delicious, what more could you ask for ?! :)

Wanted to try a new sushi place. This place is super cute! It's tiny on the inside, probably fits 20 people at one time. There was no wait for lunch on Monday. The service was fast and great. Everything came out perfect and cooked to order. The ramen was not the best but it truly wasn't bad. the sushi rolls were all good and the gyoza too. Good prices! Definitely recommend.

This place is a gem and hole in the wall! It's a small little restaurant in a busy area. When you arrive, there's a sign up and you wait a little bit but there are benches for guest to sit. Most tables accommodate 2- 4 people, so smaller groups. There's also seating at the bar. The customer service is efficient, you don't have to wait long for your water, menus, utensils, and your orders. The menu is short and simple so it makes for a quick decision. I was impressed by their Tamashi Menn Ramen. That is very unique to their restaurant. It's a sweet and savory shrimp broth. The noodles were a different texture than what I am used to for Japanese ramen. I drank every last bit of this delicious broth. The Takoyaki balls were delicious and comparable to other places. The Sushi Platter was pretty typical, nothing outstanding. The sushi rice was just ok...I felt like it was missing something. Overall, I would definitely be back to try the other ramen. P.S. Don't go during peak lunch and dinner time if you're hangry. You may get hangrier if you have to wait a while outside.

We love going to Tamashi Ramen & Sushi. The service is super efficient & we can get our food, eat and leave within 45 minutes. We ordered brussel sprouts, karrage, tonkotsu, rainbow roll and crunchy roll. Ramen was delish & warm. Broth is very good. Brussel sprouts are actually very yummy and full of flavor. Karrage is good, I typically ask for a side of spicy mayo. The sushi rolls are actually very good & perfect serving. I get the crunchy roll without avocado and really enjoyed it. Definitely have to come check it out. Pricing is reasonable as well!

Hidden Gem in the Soring Branch area. I've tried Ramen several times and I am not a fan. Tamashi Ramen has changed that. This place is great. The Ramen I ordered was flavorful with a bit of spice. It's a tiny place but service is efficient and prices are reasonable. I have been back twice since the first time I tried it last week.

Hole in the wall Heaven. Oh my good Lord. Wow. Tamashi is a great stop for a quick meal. Service was quick. The Houston Roll was freaking amazing with a pleasant balance of creaminess and freshness. Like tiny bites of joy, the Raku roll was fresh, too, packing a nice spicy punch (there's no picture because we devoured it). I will definitely return to Tamashi Sushi. And, while not enough to change my rating, the walk to the bathroom is....disconcerting. However delightful the food, the long trek to the restroom made me feel like I stepped through a sushi paradise into the middle of a human trafficking target area.

This place has amazing ramen. I would recommend their tsukimen cold ramen. it's different but I feel like it is my favorite way to eat ramen. The broth clings to your ramen and and meat as you dip it in. Their Tea is also amazing! I get it every time I go and the customer service is always top notch.

This place has the best ramen I've ever had, and their other dishes aren't too shabby either! This is my go-to place for ramen. I almost always order the Spicy Miso ramen, which has a milky, almost creamy, texture with an excellent flavor. As a side, I often get the Brussels sprouts, which are fried and have a sweet and savory sauce on them. The sushi is also good. I usually don't get sushi when I'm here, because I'm here for the ramen, but the sushi IS good if that's what you're wanting. Several good sakes are available, as well as beer, wine, and soft drinks.

Honestly the food here was not an issue. I've been to this location twice now and I would give the food a 4/5. I didn't need to wait long and everything was fairly tasty from my ramen to my sushi. (If you're on the fence about trying their curry ramen I would reccomend it. It is not as heavy as it looks) FOOD - 4/5 Service was pretty mediocre. If you compare this place to the Bellaire location it's not close. The Bellaire location has immaculate service and I've been there many times. SERVICE - 3/5 My main issue was the billing. I ordered a bowl of Ramen and 2 rolls of sushi which totaled to about $43. That was fine with me except my bill came out to $51 because there was a "tip" added to my bill of $8! I was in a party of 5 people including myself and I've never seen automatic tips in parties smaller than 6 or 8 (whichever one it is). The automatic tip wasn't stated on the menu or anywhere BUT if it was feel free to correct me and ignore my overall rating. BILLING - 1/5 Ah yes my toilet review. The mens bathroom was fairly clean. My war with my bowels, not so much. The hot papa sushi roll likely sent me there. It was tasty but not friendly on my stomach. RESTROOM - 4/10 TOILET AFTERMATH - 2/5 (mostly on me bc my stomach sucks)

I've been here multiple times, getting the tamashi Men and curry ramen. They are both very good - although the ramen lacks protein so I'd suggest ordering side dishes or a roll of sushi to complement it.

The Tamashi Menn tastes way too shrimpy. I think that's why you're supposed to get that ramen, but in my case, I wasn't a fan. I normally like shrimp. Just didn't like that one. The spicy tonkotsu ramen is much preferable in my book. Consistently good ramen.

When you crave ramen, tamashi is no brainer. I usually get tonkatsu ramen, but today I wanted to try the miso ramen and it was very good. With ramen, crunchy roll goes so well. There is not alot of seatings available so there may be some wait time during busy hours. But it has very cozy feel to it and also has izakaya feel in the restaurant!

Delicious food with a good portion size. The restaurant is casual but really nice to eat and sit in. It's a great option for solid ramen!

My husband and I order sushi and ramen from this place every two weeks or so. We never get tired of it. We mostly order takeout which is never disappointing but we have also sat inside and enjoyed our experience there as well. A great intimate place to have dinner with a partner or some close friends.

Cute little ramen and sushi place. The sushi here had a fresh and clean feeling to it, with large pieces. The Tonkotsu ramen was also delicious, and had a nice hearty broth. The only dish I didn't fully enjoy was the Takoyaki. There was almost no octopus, and the inside was very soggy and mushy.

This little restaurant has the best ramen that I've ever tasted! The 7 spice is so good. Fresh noodles with a coconut creamy broth.

I loved the ramen and the Brussels sprouts. I wasn't crazy about the service. I arrived at 8:30 (an hour before close) and I was asked to wait outside until my guest arrived. It really wasn't a big issue because there was a bench but it was raining and also there was 2 chairs right inside the door. I think it would have been kind for her to invite me to sit there. She came twice to ask how far my guest was. She told me they stop the kitchen at 915. We got seated at 9. She came several times in a few minutes with an unpleasant attitude to see if we were ready. Though I understand kitchens wanting to shut down and clean, I feel as though our experience was less important than locking the doors and cleaning by 930. I won't be back to this location.

Love this place, can't go wrong with any of the menu items. My favorites are the Hot Papa, Rockets Roll, and Chasudon 2.0, all taste great. Staff is always friendly, they stay on top of checking on you to see if you need anything else such as refills or to order anything else. Efficient service, because since it is a smaller establishment, there can be a wait. It's nice that they have 3 locations as well.

Cute little place tucked into a strip center. Cali roll to start off and Tonkotsu spicy to finish it off. Everything had a good taste, service was good - very attentive. Wish there were more noodles in the ramen, but still good

Stopped by for a late lunch around 3. As expected not many patrons for this time of day. I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen which was served fairly quickly. The soup was good and pork just right. Main gripe would be the portion was a bit small and I wasn't even hungry. Order more sides if you are!

I loved this cute little ramen shop. They have 3 locations, I went to the location off of silber road. The service was amazing and the food was top tier. I was recommended to try this by a friend. They are the only few places in Town that have Shrimp Ramen and it was simply amazing! Definitely check this place out if you have the chance l.

Good sushi at reasonable prices. The shrimp ramen is awesome and is a must-try. Small and quaint, but service is fast and makes good suggestions

This is the 3rd Tamashi Ramen & Sushi branch I went. Me and my friend always ordered the same noodles and we never had any issues. The broth this time was not even warmed. The waiter was so irresponsible and told me if I want super hot, next time I need to tell them in advance! Totally BS to me. Ended up I'm tired to argue with him and he just heat it up with their Microwave. That female waitress, looks like the manager, also had some unwelcome behavior. Will not go to this branch again for sure.

Came here on a Friday night for dinner. There was a bit of a wait but that's expected for a Friday. Once we got seated we were served relatively quick. We got some sushi for starters. A spicy salmon roll & two of the specialty rolls. Overall they were just ok. I had the spicy miso ramen for my main course & it was pretty yummy, I really liked the broth. & added a little bit of a spicy sauce to it for an extra kick since they didn't have any chili oil. The place is relatively small so in peak hours expect a wait. But overall it was a good experience. And it's very close to where I live so would definitely order some ramen from here again.

Excelente calidad de servicio, muy buena comida y precios muy accesibles, recomiendo el rollo Philadelphia

When you're craving ramen, you just gotta have it! I stopped by around 8pm on a Saturday. The place is pretty small (~25max) so we had to write our name on a list outside and wait outside. There was some confusion with which parties got there first because some people wrote their name on the next page and others just added it to the bottom of the paper, but we worked it out. We ordered dumplings for an appetizer and they were good. For dinner I tried the Tamashi ramen which is a shrimp based broth. It's different, but I enjoyed it. The thing I didn't love, was that the pork was 70% fat, 30% actual pork meat. That's always disappointing. Despite this, I would return and maybe get the standard miso next time or swap out the pork.

After getting out of a movie at Edwards we wanted something to eat. Wondering down the way we saw this place and thought we'd give it a try. I'm glad we did because the ramen here was delicious! Since our eyes were bigger than our stomachs we also ended up trying some sushi. I enjoyed it all and the service was great.

Not sure how long Tamashi has been open, but we live 1-1/2 miles away and made our first visit last night. When we arrived there was a sign-in sheet on the wall next to the front door, so we signed in and waited (impatiently) for our name to be called. By the time they called our name we entered a full restaurant with three parties behind us. A really good sign on a Monday night!! Very small dining room and about 6 or 7 four-top and 4 or 5 two-top booths, with about 6 or so stools at the sushi bar. But the servers were hustling and working to make sure everyone was served quickly. Started out with Edamame, Takoyaki, Gyoza and a Shaggy Dog roll; there were three of us, so we didn't want to run out! Excellent on all four dishes!! The dumplings appeared to be deep-fried not pan fried and they were chrispy with a tasty ground pork filling. Edamame, well it's Edamame what can you say. The Octopus balls weren't fried as crisp as most, but not a drawback and at the price ($5.75 for 5 balls) you couldn't expect them to be chock-full of octopus, but they had enough to make the grade. The Shaggy Dog roll was outstanding! Freshly made, plenty of "stuffing" and nicey presented. After those gems, we went on to order the "main", which included a Houston Roll, Curry Tsukemen, and Tonkotsu. The Curry Tsukemen was OUTSTANDING, best Ramen I've ever had, in the US or Japan!! So much flavor in a single bowl, just enough curry for flavor but not so much it took over the dish. It a must try for anyone's first visit. A couple of bottles of Sake and the meal was complete. The food is FIVE STAR, the ambience, waiting outside, small dining room and cramped tables are down to FOUR STARS, but had to keep the FIVE STAR rating. But definitely a keeper. Very young crowd, probably because the food is great and the prices are very reasonable, actually GREAT for the quality and portions. I took some pictures of the first course before we starting eating, but when the second course came, we did wait for pictures, we started eating immediately, before I could get any pictures.

Being a long-term local in Oak Forest, I was really surprised to find such a good sushi bar.

Love this ramen place it's really nice just that the place is really small one of the servers she's short around her 35-40s she's very rude! Place is really small! But great ramenSpicy Miso RamenRoll ComboRamen Bowls2 Roll Combo

The food was pretty good and atmosphere was really cool. Hubby ordered the shrimp broth ramen and it was probably the best of the two. I had the tonkotsu ramen and it was pretty decent, the chashu pork wasn't the best but was still good. Overall we had a pretty good experience! My favorite part was probably the one piece wall!

Finally a sushi place that I feel the price and the quality matches! Decided I really wanted sushi takeout and I found Tamashi. There's two locations and I ordered from Silber Rd location, close to IKEA. Easily placed an order through the phone. The employee was pleasant both on the phone and in person. The dining area is not too big, about the size of 3 aisles of tables. There were some people dining inside. I think it's a great deal to have a two or three sushi roll combo. It comes with seaweed salad as well! It all tasted very fresh and delicious. Spicy salmon actually had a kick to it. (It's not like other places that claim it's spicy when it's really not. lol). I wished there were more places like Tamashi. Will definitely return again to try more sushi and the ramen. :)

We get takeout (and also occasionally dine in) here and every time has been great. The only thing is the restaurant is pretty small and there is almost always a wait. Our favorite is the Tamashi Menn! The portions are healthy and the broth is soooo flavorful. We also love the brussels sprouts and have tried a couple sushi rolls as well. Love for when we want some comfort food by the house.

First time here and happy to find a good ramen spot in Spring Branch. Got the Tamashi's menn with extra noodles and tried out the karaage as well as a dragon roll. Food did not disappoint, good flavors in the broth and the meat was tasty; it was a decent lunch crowd for a small venue. Everything came out quick and the service was good. Will definitely be back!

After you walk 9487383 miles in Ikea... you work up an appetite & Tamashi Ramen and sushi was there to save the day! Me and my husband came right at noon and clearly beat the lunch rush. No wait when we came but maybe 10-15 min later there was at least 5 groups waiting. This is a small place, wouldn't be ideal for groups over 4-6 people. If there is a wait you sign your name on the clipboard outside of the front door and they'll call you when a table is available. The wait staff is very efficient and quick. Look at the menu before you come to get an idea of what you want lol. The minute your hits the seat... they are ready to serve you! Without a wait, took only about 15 mins to receive our food. If you don't care what order it comes in. I had the Karaage and spicy miso ramen. The karaage was hot, crispy and full of flavor! The spicy miso ramen was GOOD, definitely one of the best I've had in Houston. The only thing was the chashu pork was a little over cooked and almost taste liked brisket. But, the broth was soooo good I had to order more noodles. I would definitely come back!

I don't like mashed potatoes... they're Too Mashy. Luckily they don't serve those here. (I actually love mashed potatoes when done right) Simply one of the best Ramen shops I've ever been to. Their Sushi is good but their Ramen is spectacular. And I'm not even into Ramen, even though all the hot girls on earth seem to be into Ramen (hi to all of you). Including Barbie. But when it comes to Tamashi, I love it and it's delicious and I'll definitely be back here again. This might be the original location certainly was the first one I came to. Service was pretty friendly too, and lots of very good looking people come here to dine - especially Barbie. Having said that, the friendly, polite but quiet owner didn't seem too thrilled that we hung out for a long time after the meal inside the restaurant (they were kinda busy so I felt bad, and suggested we go outside after maybe 20 mins of talking), and then hung outside for a long time (probably an hour or so, on the bench in front of the place). Usually I would downgrade by 1 star for that kind of thing, but it wasn't too bad, it was more subtle passive aggressive shifty looks, and he didn't actually say anything, so I can't knock off any stars for that, and wouldn't want to anyway. Besides, the meal was excellent, and it's a local place, and well worthy of five stars. There are now locations in West University (very popular) and in Chinatown (brand new) and up in the NW (new too) and probably some others, and they are well worth your time. And if I ever get to go out with Natti Natasha, I'd like to "TourNatti."

The Japanese word, "tamashi," translates to the the word, "soul." (Well, at least in anime it does, LOL). You could say these guys pour a lot of it into their ramen, but not so much of it into their sushi--perhaps in that case it would be called "Tamashi Sushi & Just Ramen." So what are my gripes? 3-star seems petty low. And I agree. If I could give a 7/10 or 3.5/5, I would--and I just can't bring myself to round up. I went to this place nearly back to back nights. There's no better way of getting a feel for the place, wouldn't you agree? I went serious reviewer mode for these guys because a friend was highly recommending them and my first experience was just "meh." Let's talk ramen: Noodles--interesting. It's almost like angel hair pasta, just al dente (not so soggy). I heard there was a hack that you could essentially "bleach" or whiten pasta... I wonder if they use it. Anyway, the mouthfeel to these noodles is pretty nice. Broth is good. It's mild in flavor but it's definitely got body/umami. I finished my shrimp broth--I wasn't as keen to doing that for the tonkotsu. Charsiu was.. weird. There was this hint of bitterness or metallic after taste. I thought it might have just been the cut or just that instance but having two bowls back to back on different days kind of sealed the deal. So what's the deal with that? Shrimps on a skewer was neat. Flavorful. Really brings up the appeal factor of the bowl. The sushi? Amateur level. Cold rice bazooka; rice is melted together into a single block. Prices are rather affordable, though... but as an enthusiast, I can't recommend it. Come for the Ramen--their shrimp ramen is especially enough alone for you to give them a shot. I think this place can easily be anybody favorite, it just isn't mine (yet). The annoying line I'm constantly running into of regulars speaks for itself.
