Amazing every time!! My go to is the beef ramen but have tried all others and they never disappoint!!

What a lovely experience today! Pictured is the spicy miso ramen, and the karaage fried chicken. Tastes like what dreams are made of! Service was fast, and pleasant. Quiet ambience! Next time I will ask them to add some extra spiciness to my ramen, because my heat tolerance is very high. But still I can't complain. We will be back for more

This review is to highlight the lack of available options on the menu. My friend and I were looking forward to trying Takkii Ramen all week and it was a major let down. The only broth they offer is beef or pork, no chicken (even for the fried chicken ramen). It was shocking that they do not offer bao buns, either. I figured this place would be booming with options based on its perceived popularity and multiple locations. I don't always get it right, because this time, I was wrong!

Great food, a bit pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Only bad things I can say is if you order extras of certain ingredients they're a little cold with the ramen and they got rid of a tea I had when they first opened. Definitely worth the drive for me I hope they open one closer to where I live.

We visited for dinner and the restaurant was empty. The decor is modern and clean. Their equipment looks very high end. You order at a screen, pay and then receive a number and take a seat. We ordered chicken karaage, one spicy miso with added cabbage and one black garlic tonkatsu. The appetizer arrived quickly. It was a nice portion and good cut of chicken meat. However the breading was scant, not what we're accustomed to. The sauce was tangy, but I didn't care for it. When we received our ramen the broth was just kind of warm. The flavor of the garlic tonkatsu was underwhelming. I tried my fiancé's spicy miso broth and the flavor was unappealing. Our eggs were ice cold and I gave mine to him. There were two pieces of pork, which was nice because they were smaller. They were charred on one side, but slightly over cooked. The pork is usually very tender when we've had it at other restaurants. The noodles are the thin straight variety, which is fine, but the option for wavy would be nice. My fiancé told me the cabbage in his was raw, just like what they used to garnish the karaage. Overall we were very disappointed. I'd like to see the business succeed. The two employees seemed very nice. Hopefully the owner reads the reviews and takes into consideration customer feedback. The broth flavors need improvement, the eggs should be warm, the broth should also be hot and the spoons are not very good for eating ramen with. If improvements are made I would eat here again.

Ramen and chicken karage, tako Yaki were very good. The slushies were also very good. The ramen was one of the closest to the ramen I ate while in Japan that I have had outside of Japan. The tako yaki had more octopus in it than most places so that was a nice surprise.

We found this place on Yelp, looking for ramen while we were briefly in the Allentown area. First off- the food was really good, once we figured out how to order on the tablets at the counter. This was actually a really good way to do things because it allowed us to review our choices before submitting. This is one of those places where you order at a counter and then people bring your food out to you. The menus on the wall didn't exactly match the ones in the tablets, but that was okay. I appreciated the open cooking area where we could see things being done. We started with gyoza and what was supposed to be calamari, but was definitely octopus. The octopus was a little chewier than we have previously experienced. I had the Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen and my hubs had the Takkii Beef Ramen, spicy, with extra beef. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. I feel like I should note that we were there at traditional dinner time and they had many takeout orders but only two other tables had diners seated at them. We had good service too.

First time here and not an expert on Ramen at all. The establishment is clean, staff was friendly and mouthwash in the men's room! Got the seafood Udon as I love seafood. Everything was cooked correctly and the presentation was nice. The broth was nice and complimented the noodles but the shrimp and mussels needed a bit more flavor. Not sure if they are prepared separately and then assembled with the broth and noodles but just need a bit more flavor. The mushrooms stole the show.I've been to many Japanese establishment that serve ramen but always opt for sushi/sashimi. I'll have to try ramen elsewhere to see if I'm missing something.Either way I'll definitely come back, it's a great lite lunch.

I love ramen, but really struggled to like this place. Only positive thing here is the portions are large. Ingredients are extremely bland. Eggs taste like they soaked up a whole bottle of soy sauce. I had extremely high hopes about this place too. Very expensive for such a poor quality.

Delicious! So happy they are in my neighborhood…being from NYC, it was refreshing to be able to get great Ramen in PA! I highly recommend.
So currently been waiting for food and watching as the seven orders before mine get served. The guy running the counter is just dropping food off to wrong tables and can't keep anything straight. Has govern my order away twice already.

First time having real ramen and this place is awesome. We did pick up and food was still hot, and packaged nicely. Utensils were in bag, ready to go! Portion size is perfect for us. I got spicy miso and my husband got fried chicken ramen. Both were tasty Staff was friendly, we will be back to try more!

Pork belly rice bowl was good, but fried chicken was tough as if it were a day old. Overall, not worth the money in our opinion. Ramen broth was just ok compared to others.

Don’t listen to the bad reviews. This is a great place to grab quick ramen that’s flavorful, without having to drive to the city. Casual small spot
