Tamashi in Houston

Tried their tamashi menn Ramen and chicken karaage. The Tamashi Menn is a bit bland but their shrimps were really delicious! The chicken karaage is decent, like any other crispy chicken.

The menu looked promising with a variety of options from ramen to sushi to skewers, however the taste of every dish was disappointing and leave you unsatisfied. Squid and chicken heart had the same sauce dressing. Chicken heart was small and dry. The sauce was too sweet and doesn't go well with either the squid or chicken. Chicken karaage was huge but tasteless. The spicy miso broth was sweet and tastes off - no hint of miso. It was also too condensed considering the amount of noodle and toppings. Chashu cuts were big but tough and dry because of the lack of fat. The Tamashi men with shrimp broth does have a distinct taste of shrimp, but sadly faces the same problems as the Spicy Miso.

Looking for a nice hot bowl of ramen and not break the bank during this cold front? Tamashi is your place to go! If you're facing the HMART it's on the left, plenty of parking in the complex. The menu is quite extensive, if you aren't feeling ramen you may very well get any of the sushi or meal plates. But for this review I'm sticking to the ramen. I ordered the Spicy (mild) Tonkasu ramen and extra chashu pork on the side. What I love about it here is you can customize it as you see fit! Don't like the black fungus or bamboo shoots? Ask to remove it! The mild def had a big kick and was spicy but not overwhelming where you can't even taste the meat or broth. Will be back for sure!
