Tama Japanese Ramen & Bar

I got the spicy tonkotsu ramen and king mushroom kushiyaki and both were phenomenal. Everything was so flavorful and the pork in the ramen was so well cooked and tasty. Will be back again! Service was also great, and I’d recommend the lychee cocktail! A new favorite ramen spot.

Zach at the bar was a delight! Knew everything about all the dishes, drinks, and even the history of the shop.
WILL be returning next time I'm in the area.
Food is excellent, service just as good. Beautiful location. I'd give it more stars if I could.
Ate my ramen before I remembered to take a picture. Steamed pork buns were great!

Tama is a great addition to a fairly desolate area of Canton. It's at the edge of Blue Hills and is right on the main drag, not too far from the highway and also near Trillium Brewing.

They offer a variety of Japanese dishes including sushi, ramen, Teriyaki, rice dishes, and quite a few other things. They have a beautiful, long bar with plenty of seating and a decently sized dining room. The decor is sleek, and very red with beautiful lanterns hanging from the ceiling. It's a tad dark in there however with little to no natural light.

The food itself is tasty - the crab Rangoon ($8.50) weren't traditional but tasted good and the pan-fried pork dumplings ($8.50) were excellent. I also really enjoyed the eggplant skewer ($4) cooked in the Kushiyaki style which I thought was awesome.

The Tama TanTan ramen ($16.50) was interesting. It came with Spicy oil, egg, ground pork, onion, scallion, bamboo shoo, corn and overall it was a very solid bowl of ramen with excellent depth of flavor of the broth. The only puzzling element was the ground pork which I swear tasted like Italian sausage. My wife who had it agreed that it was a bit weird tasting and heavy on the fennel. It didn't feel traditional and while it wasn't bad, it also felt out of place.

Service was attentive and friendly and I look forward to returning and trying out more of their ramen and other dishes.

I have only been here twice, but will be back very soon. The food is amazing. I’ve had two kinds of ramen and got their pork dumplings both times. The pork belly in the ramen is so tender it just melts in your mouth. The drinks are great and the staff are extremely friendly. 10/10 overall experience.
