This is such a chilled, tasty and beautiful spot for dinner. The place has such a great vibe and is so clean and well presented. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. And I was impressed by the choice of vegan and vegetarian options!

I've been looking for a fairly local place that does ramen and Tomoko Ramen was what we found.
A few things. This place had very few reviews and a high rating. This left me and my party somewhat skeptical, especially when we found out that this place has been open for over a year.
Why so few reviews? Two reasons. #1: The opening times of Tomoko Ramen are somewhat unusual. #2: It would appear they do a lot of business on apps such as Deliveroo / Just Eat, so there are more reviews on there than there is on Google. Anyway, back to the review.
The food here was brilliant and the menu is set out in a way that is easy to understand. The menu isn't huge but there's enough on offer. I found it hard deciding between several options as many of their menu items sounded really good. Also, very good takoyaki here, albeit a bit smaller than I'm used to, but still very good!
The service here is great. Very accommodating and friendly. Overall very polite. There's also a stamp card for drinks made in-house which is a nice touch.
The atmosphere is very cozy. Tomoko Ramen is VERY small which adds to that coziness. I'd say it's a bit smaller than what I'm used to as for most of our time there myself and my party were the only ones there. But if you're looking to a place where you want quiet and music to accompany the atmosphere, this is definitely the place.
We'll definitely be coming back here at some point!
Amazing food and such aesthetic restaurant!! Loved the hospitality and was so pleased. Highly recommend so much flavour in the food!!
Food made with care. It's worth every penny. Nice quite chilled out atmosphere with amazing food!
Clean, friendly, and tasty. My family certainly has enjoyed their cheeky stay. The menu is professional and simple.
We had 3x Ramen for 12.50 GBP each and 3x Coke for 2 GBP a can.
Points for consideration: Offering 'eat-ins' without the provision of a toilet is a real downside although it is not a requirement with fewer than 10 seats.
Serving time, and taking orders: 23 minutes seems a long time for letting the customer select their food. Since there was no other customer in the store we favourably assumed the kitchen must have been busy with orders.
Although the prices are a nudge too high for us to return, we shall recommend the food when asked.
My partner and I both love eating here, the food is fantastic and they have some menu items that I haven't been able to find elsewhere. It's really worth making a journey to eat here!
Fantastic little gem hidden in the heart of Parkstone. Lovely atmosphere and amazing food. We definitely recommend!
Really lovely cafe with a great, chilled out atmosphere. I tried the fish shaped biscoff and Nutella waffles, which were amazing. I will definitely be back to try their gyozas!
I've been here a couple of times now, once with friends and once with my partner. Everyone who has tried the food has loved it.
The selection isn't large, but it's big enough that it's hard to decide each time. There are some interesting drinks and dishes. Eg. fish balls as a ramen topping, yuzu soda and talyaki(fish shaped sweet waffle)
The takoyaki is the best I have had, the sapporo ramen broth has a good level of spice to it or if you are feeling a bit braver or you just like spicy food try the Kumamoto ramen this has a real kick to it.
This is a must try if you like Japanese, ramen or are just in the area. I will definitely be coming back to work my way around the menu.
Fantastic coffee. If I ever pass, will go here again. Wish there was a small bite to eat here too and would’ve purchased something if so.
This place was amazing. Found it wondering down Ashley road. I will be going back Monday again. 10/5 stars.
Absolutely delicious Japanese food! I went in for my birthday and took my family, not sure if they'd enjoy it since they've never eaten Japanese food before. They all loved it! We'll be eating there again! And the taiyaki waffles were *chef's kiss* delicious! A great way to end a wonderful lunch!
And the honey and yuzu drink has become my all time favourite drink!
I highly recommend this cafe! The staff are so nice too! Allowed us to bring two tables together to accommodate our party. If I could rate 10 stars I would without hesitation!
Sat in with my daughter and had a light lunch of beef gyozas with ponzu sauce and karaage fried chicken with teriyaki dip. an iced americano for me and a pineapple soda for my daughter. All the food and drink was delicious and served quickly. The cafe was spotless and very relaxed.
Tried this new cafe this morning. The breakfast rolls were really tasty and something different to try. Very good value and friendly service. Will definitely return to try the lunch menu! A really welcome addition to Ashley Road.
Really lovely atmosphere. Pleased with accessibility for mobility scooter or wheelchair, friendly staff and food was delicious. One of the nicest Katsu Curry and Rice dishes I have had in a while.
Discovered this place walking down Ashley Road. The udon noodle soup was delicious and one of the best I have ever had! Going to try the ramen next time. 🍜😎
Lovely little place for lunch
