Tamago: Reviews & Ratings
We booked table of 3 . The staff was welcoming, who took our order promptly after arriving. The ramen was flavourful and we enjoyed all the dishes on the day... Japanese restaurant soul food
Nice selection of Japanese dishes. Very tasty. I had an enjoyable meal there. Portion slightly smaller than expected.
Just had a lovely tasty meal here. I had Teriyaki Salmon & my husband Katsu Curry. The small plate prawn starter we ordered came with the mains but that really wasn’t a problem and they apologised. Eashed down with a nice bottle of Merlot (although it didn’t need to be chilled) It’s a relaxed and cafe style dining but reasonably priced and the ladies serving us were friendly and welcoming. Slightly off the main tourist area but well worth a visit.
Absolutely love this gem of a restaurant! Been coming here for a number of years with friends & family. Although I visited alone this particular time, treated myself to a bento box with fried chicken. All of it delicious including lovely sweet potato fritters. Also had the miso soup with perfectly fried tofu to start plus a side of their delicious kimchi. One of the best things in the menu are the Kimcheese spring rolls - truly delectable ! Highly recommend all items- ramen is great too. Recommend booking.
You can tell their food is cooking with heart! I love the ramen especially the egg! So lucky to try their new dessert Miso caramel apple pie! It's HOMEMADE and DELICIOUS!!
The Ramen is soooooo good, must try if you visit Canterbury
Best experience after we came back from Japan. This restaurant is traditional Japanese cooking food. I have read the bad review and I think they have never had a real Japanese meal before. The host is a Japanese woman and Japanese chef. The owner is honest and gentle person. Her rice was well perfectly cooked !!! We really recommend this restaurant if you want a real Japanese food and no need to pay for the plane ticket to Japan. Our family is very happy and especially our little one, she even said Oishi !!! We will definitely come back again!
This place was great! Good vegetarian options. We had the veggie shoyu ramen, terriyaki tofu bento and some yuzu honey teas for dinner, super yummy. Staff members were very friendly, efficient, and knowledgeable as well. Highly recommend!
