Tenko Ramen

Went to the Pearl and came across this ramen place and decided to try it. I got the Tokyo Shoyu, and I enjoyed it. The portion size is just right and I was able to leave full. It came with a single, large piece of cha shu that was very tasty and flavorful. I also got the miso popcorn buttered Edamame, which was pretty unique and tasted delicious. Highly recommend you to try this one.

I personally had the Chicken katsu sandwich and the okonomiyaki fries and both were very flavorful! The chicken had a wonderful crunch to it. The fries were basically “loaded fries” with kimchi, toasted garlic, bonito flakes, togarashi, green onions and kimchi mayo! It would be awesome if they were hand cut fries, but they were basic frozen fries. The toppings made them delicious! My boss had the Spicy miso tantan-men ramen and it looked fabulous! I will need to try some ramen next time!!

Probably the worst ramen I have ever had. The photos show that we were only able to make it through about half but couldn't eat it anymore. The one with the chicken had so much ginger that it was disgustingly over powering everything else. I would not recommend this to anyone as it is also very expensive for this quality of bad food.

The ramen itself is not amazing but it was done surprisingly fast. Of course it is not authentic Japanese ramen but well. I enjoyed a beautiful view of pearl brewery while eating ramen.

Tenko Ramen just catapulted into the best ramen in town. It is one of the stands in the Bottling department Food Hall at the Pearl, a great casual dining place for hipsters, pictures attached. Just be patient, in winter the table space is limited, there is plenty of tables just outside for warmer days. The ramen is great if you like authentic Japanese, might be out of some people's comfort zone. You must try the spicy ramen with its Sichuan peppers if you like spicy, otherwise the others are not spicy at all but loaded each with their unique flavor. They added xanthan gum for the authentic mouthfeel, it's not fat. Choices fairly limited but very unique and a great experience, a slice of Japan in San Antonio.

I had the Tokyo Shoyou Ramen and the portion is great for two people. I think it was good but the pork has a lot of fat and the ramen broth is pretty greasy so make sure you have a soda with you.

Good ramen on a busy day with the Pearl! Even during a hot summer day, I enjoy a bowl of ramen. Don't know what all the negative reviews are all about, but the nice man at the register explained all the bowls to us and was friendly. My wife and I enjoyed it and recommend Tenko! PS: My wife doesn't like eggs so I had two half of an egg shown below, normally it comes with half an egg.

I went here with my sister-in-law and husband; they said the soup was delicious. The lack of seating inside the building was a major turn-off and I wish they had another veggie option, but the customer service was spot-on. I would take my husband and sister-in-law here again if I was in the Pearl.
