Comment: Miso ramen all the way! Wow. The broth is legit and the ramen was prepared perfectly. We had such a lovely experience even with our two young kids. They provided our kids with chopstick helpers and snacks while they waited. My kids said it was the best ramen they ever ate. I would have to agree!! What a lovely place to eat. So glad we stopped by!

Comment: It was one of the single best meals Ive had in years!An unsuspecting ramen shop owned and operated by an incredible couple and wonderful team. Youko and her team are so incredibly generous & we had smiled so hard after finishing our ramen. My team & I agreed that we need to go 2x a month to get our fix.The miso & shio vegan ramen are all made with quality ingredients. There is no MSG, added salt, and zero sugar. The bone broth in the miso has a spectrum of flavor Ive never experienced anywhere else in the country. The same can be said about the shio ramen.The biggest takeaway here is that good ramen is steeped in tradition & Youko takes the necessary time to put forth the most incredible flavors. I would argue that this shop deserves a Michelin Star for their top-notch performance & dedication to excellence. Be prepared for an educational experience as well on how to properly enjoy ramen like it was intended. Anyone who leaves a review to the contrary simply doesnt understand the level of love and care in every ingredient here.

Comment: Note that reservations are needed. Ramen was good but not great. We found the service very attentive, although our party of four was seated at the bar, which was a little disappointing. The aesthetics of the restaurant were very cool.

Comment: Just incredible!Tanma Ramen is a small, unassuming restaurant in Kingston, New York, but it serves some of the best ramen in the Hudson Valley. The broth is rich and flavorful, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the toppings are fresh and delicious. Ive tried the miso ramen and my wife had the shio ramen, and both were excellent. The miso ramen is hearty and comforting, with a deep, umami flavor. The shio ramen is lighter and more delicate, with a clean, salty taste.I was super happy to find they have gluten free options for the ramen! An absolute rare treat.In addition to ramen, Tanma also serves a variety of other Japanese dishes, including gyoza, karaage, and udon. My wife also tried the gyoza, and they were some of the best ever. The dumplings were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside.The service at Tanma is friendly and attentive. The staff is always happy to answer questions about the menu and make recommendations.Overall, Tanma Ramen is a great place to get a delicious bowl of ramen in Kingston. The food is excellent, the service is friendly, and the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend it!5 enthusiastic stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Comment: The ramen here is amazing. Im Japanese and grew up eating a lot of ramen and consider myself critical, but their miso ramen was one of the best Ive had! The broth is light and delicious, and the noodles were the perfect texture. Yoko-san is so friendly and making a reservation with her was easy. The other people working there were also very nice. Well definitely go back whenever were craving ramen!

Comment: Absolutely incredible. I havent been able to get my hands on ramen this good since visiting Japan in 2020. Well worth a visit! Wouldnt recommend if you are picky or have a lot of dietary restrictions but the menu does have a vegan ramen option. Very authentic ramen bar where you can watch your food being made while chatting with the incredibly friendly staff. Will absolutely be visiting again.

The ramen was incredible.I have a gluten allergy (celiac) and the owner was so helpful to make a ramen bowl that was clear of cross contamination with rice noodles.I felt really cared for and will definitely be back.

Comment: Love this spot. One of my favorite Ramen shops outside of Japan - likely because it and the owner remind me of little spots in Japan every time I stop by.Today, its hard to find a ramen thats truly nutritious - thats Tanmas mainstay noodle.

Comment: The ramen is simply phenomenal. The broth is rich and layered and oh so flavorful! The Miso Ramen is my favorite. The gyoza are also handmade and amazing, both the veggie and the pork. Their beer list and sake list are also great. Top it off with the two wonderful humans who run it and it is by far one of the best restaurants in the area.

Comment: This was my first time visiting Tanma Ramen in Kingston, NY. Youko (a family friend of mine) is the business owner of this intriguing restaurant, and the miso ramen is by far my favorite along with a side of kimchi.Although I made a reservation ahead of time, I still forgive Youko for missing out on my reservation. Lesson learned: ALWAYS make a reservation beforehand.I like to give this place more than 10 out of 10. Its just what I highly recommend to anyone who would love to try some authentic Japanese ramen.

Comment: Walking around with my daughter. Was definitely hungry but the last thing I thought about was having the best ramen EVER. Though that’s what it turned into, as I was greeted by a gentleman with my same name, ordered the first miso ramen of the day. Ate it till plate was empty and honestly at first I just wanted food but the experience was truly authentic provided by the owner and staff.

Comment: Interesting spot, but not for the spontaneous-minded. You must call ahead to dine in, and you should also call ahead to take out.Not knowing this, I dropped in to request something to go. They said it would take 15 minutes, but ended up being closer to 25. The noodle bowl, surprise surprise, turned out to be a finish at home kit, which was not made clear up front.The gyoza and seaweed salad were excellent! And yes, when I finally got home and prepared the noodle bowl, it was delicious, too.I do plan to return, but will make arrangements in advance.

Comment: We used to drive to New Paltz for this chefs delicious onigiri and dumplings, and we were thrilled to hear that they were opening nearby in Kingston. The wait was completely worth it.The handmade dumplings are still quite remarkable, but where this shop really shines is in its ramen! The bar sized is the perfect size for our hungry 10-year-old, and the full size will leave your stomach groaning with liquid deliciousness and total satisfaction.The sake selection is also something of note, and the cozy bar would be a great place to sit with a friend.Make your reservation and enjoy!

Comment: Tanma Ramen is the real deal. When I was in Japan a few years ago I ate a lot of ramen. It was always a fast, filling and delicious meal. If you want a taste of what that was like, minus the 14 hour plane ride, check out Tanma. I had a full size miso ramen and some yaki gyoza. The broth was delicate and refined, the noodles were the perfect consistency, the pork and the toppings added perfectly to the overall bowl and the yaki gyoza were served on the cast iron they were cooked in, keeping them nice and warm and crispy. They have a great selection of Japanese beer and sake, and are adding new stuff all the time. Everything is reasonably priced and the staff are warm and friendly. The owners, Youko and Kazuma are wonderful people who really want you to have the true Japanese ramen bar experience and they do just that. Check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Comment: Very personal experience. Despite having just opened in October 2021, this place set a golden standard for Ramen and for Japanese cuisine and culture in the Hudson Valley. When I arrived, I was greeted by friendly wait staff and a very positive atmosphere. After being seated at the Ramen bar, we were offered drinks. The teas and authentic selection of other beverages was awesome. We ordered the Yaki Gyoza, shown in one of the images. They were steamed and crispy on the bottom and very flavorful. We also ordered tofu, which was soft and delicate and extremely flavorful. The miso Ramen was the star of the show. It was presented beautifully. But actually, the real star was the head chef herself. She was very passionate about her food and loved explaining how to properly eat Ramen and the tradition behind it. She loves talking about her recipes and experiences. She made you feel like you were the only people there. Unfortunately, due to covid, the seating is limited and it is reservation only but they do very impressive and fun Ramen take out. They give you all the components and explain how to cook and assemble it yourself at home. This restaurant deserves more publicity and when covid restrictions lessen, I can see this place as an awesome hang out spot where you can stand in a portal to Japan in the middle of downtown Kingston.

Comment: The artistic interior of this new establishment really catches you as you enter. The gentleman behind the bar was helpful and polite.We were lucky to be the last customers and so had the chance to speak with Kazuma and Yoko, Yoko even taught us the right way to eat Ramen. They were both a pleasure.Every plate of the meal was incredible and speaking to Kazuma ingredients were a mix of organic, local farms and importing from Japan.10 out of 10, I will be back as much as possible!

Comment: Quality, authentic ramen has finally made its way to the Hudson Valley! We went for the first time on New Years Eve, and the cozy and warm atmosphere of their space was immediately inviting. Their menu (at least for now) is small, but that allowed us to try almost everything they offered. From our seat at the bar, we could watch the chef as she prepared each dish, and it was like watching an artist at work - her level of care and eye for detail was mesmerizing!The food was delicious - most of the appetizers highlight simple ingredients but are executed to perfection. We loved the avocado sashimi and gyoza, and their kimchi was incredible. The ramen itself was also fantastic - the broth was rich, flavorful, and deep without being too salty. All of the ingredients within the ramen were also very yummy, including the pork and scallion! We also enjoyed some great sake and Japanese beer that I havent seen available in other restaurants.On top of all that, the food came out quickly and the service was really friendly and warm. Im so happy to have them in the area and sooo excited that they are FINALLY open!

Comment: My husband and I made reservations here for a recent dinner and we have been talking about our experience to everyone that we know ever since. We both agree that this is by far the best ramen that we have ever eaten. Not only is the ramen authentic and delicious, but the owners are so kind and made us feel very taken care of while we were there. The ramen was so flavorful and afterwards I felt so nourished from the organic bone broth used for the base. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the toppings very fresh. I am so happy with our experience and intend to go back soon!

Comment: Some of the best ramen I’ve eaten outside of Japan. Delicious and complex broth, high quality ingredients, perfectly cooked noodles. Fried yaki gyoza appetizers were incredibly fresh with a refined dipping sauce. Menu is compact and simple, and the friendly proprietors offered careful advice on the best way to taste and savor the large steaming bowls of ramen. They even served up small scoops of green tea and red bean ice cream, on the house! To top it off, the meal was very reasonable priced.In Summary: Authentic Japanese ramen - highly recommended!
