Tanaka Ramen & Izakaya

I ordered carry out from Tanaka Ramen for lunch because I thought the lunch special of a free appetizer with any entree seemed like a good deal. The food was ready for pick-up on time but after I got back to work, I noticed that the appetizer hadn't been included. After driving back and explaining, the server was apologetic, offered a free drink and said that the kitchen was very busy (there were a grand total of 6 people in the restaurant) and assured me that the food would be ready in 3-5 minutes. 15 minutes later he comes back to apologize to both me and a delivery driver who said that his order was over 20 minutes late as well. It was another 10 minutes before my food was finally brought out. I think the food here is pretty good and you could tell this poor server was doing his best but the management and the kitchen in this place are total garbage. This place is probably fine for dine-in but NEVER order takeout, unless you enjoy being shortchanged and having to wait 2-3 times longer than they tell you to get your food.

In a town where so many restaurants have left me disappointed for the money I spent, Tanaka Ramen has given me hope and set a gold standard. Great portion sizes and just incredible tastes that are sustained through every bite. Flavor? In my dishes?! Say it ain't so The spice level for the ramen is actually to be taken seriously; Level 2 was considerably spicy even for someone like me who devours spicy foods all day. The tonkotsu pork is exactly what you'd always want it to be: tender and explosive in umami. I chose fries as the complementary side to the ramen out of curiosity (I usually dismiss fries in restaurants that aren't burger joints as cheap filler). Even the FRIES are banging. They stay crispy even after cooling 10 minutes later and every crinkle fry is perfectly seasoned with salt. The takoyaki was great a medley of saltiness, savoriness, and textures. The mochi ice cream particularly the pink berry-flavored one is phenomenal. In the words of Gordon Ramsay: "Finally, some good ----ing food."
