   The ramen I ordered could have been a bigger portion or more varied portion for the price. The broth is delicious but I would wish for more different veggies and not just a big bunch of cheap noodles. The waitress was initially quite nice but didn't mind us anymore as soon as we had ordered so it took an annoying amount of time to finally pay.

   Nice place, tasty food. Service; training needed. Being charged without seeing the bill especially where the optional service charge was included in the price is very poor standard.

   The food was tasty. However, the portion is small and only 2 pieces of meat with the price we are paying

   Vegan and vegetarian going for ramen and felt spoilt for choice, everything looks like it can be made vegan and tasted absolutely amazing - unlike certain chain ramen places where it seems to be an afterthought. Please open for lunch as well so I can get more!

    I discovered shortly before our booking that there were no gluten-free options available but that they could facilitate vegan. As I am only intolerant I thought I'd risk the discomfort by at least trying the place out; nonetheless I was kind of surprised they couldn't do rice noodles. The element I found most difficult is that you have to order from their QR code so there is no flexibility with the menu e.g. I don't eat pork but I couldn't request the Mushroom Ramen with the Chicken Broth and therefore had to settle for the Vegan Ramen. I felt it was pretty narrow in who it can facilitate by there being pork in the majority of Ramen as it's fairly common for it not to be eaten. The table we sat at, next to the stairs on the far side of the restaurant, got occasional whiffs of the urea from the bathroom downstairs and that retracted from the general vibe of the restaurant. That, and the chipped glass I received, lessened the experience somewhat. What was great was the portion sizes, there was a good amount of the ingredients besides the noodles, but there was a fair amount of those. I really enjoyed the texture and flavour of the Tofu. The chicken is the one thing I will likely be recommending as I found the flavours on the plate to complement each other extremely well, I loved the curry dipping sauce smeared on the plate. The texture of the outside of the chicken, and the moisture of it on the inside were impeccable; if I wasn't GF generally I'd come back again for that. (It is the one thing I am most likely to recommend coming for)

    Tomo no Ramen is considered to be the best Ramen place in Bristol. Whilst the food is 100% authentic, hence there are only a few dishes on the menu as it takes all day to make the beautiful broth. I would disagree with it being the best. The food was indeed amazing and a good Ramen is all about it's melt in the mouth meat, chicken broth and pork cha-siu in our case, and it delivered on that front. The broth was simple and simply beautiful and full of flavour. However the atmosphere, or lack thereof, really let the place down. You have to order via an app that is cranky and difficult to use at best. Once its on there you have this app on your phone that you may not use again. There is very little human contact in the restaurant and the decor is very sterile. There is no choice of non alcoholic drinks and all the drinks are British beers, a serious let down when it comes to such authentic food, I would have thought to have seen at least an Asahi or some Sake on the menu and non alcoholic drinks would be nice. Saying that I would go back just for the Ramen and certainly it's great food for eating at home. In conclusion. amazing food, but needs a better restaurant experience.

    Tomo No RamenResponded on 7 June 2022Hey Tiffany, I'm sorry you weren't a fan of the ordering system. Just FYI, it is not an app, nothing is downloaded or installed onto your phone - it's just a website. As I'm sure you have heard there is a massive staff shortage at the moment. The QR code ordering is our way of dealing with this, but we are trying to move away from it. For the beers, we want to highlight the fantastic beers that Bristol has to offer, hence why all of our beers are brewed within 2 miles of the restaurant. James.

    Did not like being seated in the window at a "bar". We did ask to be moved as the seats were too short for the bar height, we were told the table we could have was needed for the next booking so we did have to watch the time. Ordering is done via an app. No menus, no help from waiting staff - you are on your own. The food was OK. Two bowls of Ramen, the meat one was fine but the tofu dish was bland. Overall, very disappointing. Will not return.

    We found the lack of menu quite frustrating. We came out to be away from our screens so to have to do all the ordering ourselves really did spoil the evening. There was no soy sauce available, or alcohol free beer which would have been nice. The door was constantly left open and our table was ever so close to the door. The food is remarkable though and the staff really lovely. I love the place and hope you provide better menu and table service to suit the quality of food :)

    Maybe my expectations were a little high but given the wonderful reviews I’d read and the difficulty we’ve had trying to get in here before I expected amazing ramen and I was disappointed. The Shoryu broth I had, although it did have addition of some garlic flavour, was quite thin. The noodles were perfectly good noodles but not wonderful. Maybe some of the prices of ingredients at the moment are making it hard to achieve the same quality… but yeah I was disappointed. It did also seem very quiet for a Saturday night considering how hard it has been to get in here. And serving stopped very early, we had some friends trying to drop in who were turned away. All a bit confusing really.

    Nice venue and menu seemed interesting but overall the food for the price was disappointing. Portion sizes seemed small (with only half a bowl being served) for the price and only got two pieces of meat and an egg on top. The broth was delicious however. Personally not a fan of the scan to order and pay as feels impersonal and less interesting. Overall wouldn't rush to go back.

    Fantastic experience overall. Arrived 5 min early, was promptly seated and directed to order via a QR code. Food was brought out within 15 min and tasted fantastic. We got the spicy ramen and karaage (it would be nice to see other sides available in future). I've travelled to Japan many times and always enjoy ramen when I'm there, it's nice to know there's a place in Bristol I can visit when I'm home!

    Having researched Tomo No Ramen I have to say I was a bit disappointed. My vegetarian guests did not enjoy their broth. I’ve enjoyed some exceptional Ramen in my time, this has some way to go to match the depth of flavours experienced elsewhere. The fried chicken was excellent, as was the green pepper side dish. I also found ordering using the app quite stressful, especially as I had a weak 4g signal, which was not a great way to start a meal.

    No paper menus - menu only available on phone not really my thing. To order you have to register your contact details again unnecessary hassle when going out to eat I don’t really want to be looking constantly at my phone. The food was good all that aside. I felt like I was annoying the staff with my request to have actual table service if I want to order food on my phone I’d use derliveroo and stay at home.
