Kyuramen x TBaar - Knoxville

The atmosphere is top notch. The honeycomb seating on the far left is so fun. The service is fantastic, everyone is nice. Our server was great. There was even a little robot that delivered some people’s drinks across the restaurant. The food was pretty good. I ordered dumplings and spring rolls for appetizers before my noodle bowls and they were okay. The dumplings were kind of dry I guess, and too black so my daughter who normally loves dumplings did not like them. The wrapper of the spring rolls was thicker like an egg roll so it wasn’t as light and crispy as the spring rolls I prefer. The popcorn chicken was not super hot when it came out so maybe that’s why I don’t think it was great. It was a little rubbery and dry. My kids did not like it and just ate the extra plan noodles we got. The ramen was good though, the spicy ramen wasn’t too spicy. I could have bumped it up a notch but I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to eat it all if I chose the hottest hot so we just got the average to try. Overall this place is near our house and a fun place to sit on and eat so we may be back, but there are better ramen places if you’re into just the food or doing take out. I am giving them a 4 because of the ambience being a 5 and the food 3-3.5.

From the moment you walk into the restaurant, you immediately feel excited just by seeing the ambiance, the décor, and all the beautiful details around you. The atmosphere alone makes the experience feel special. The service was excellent, and the food came out pretty quickly. Even though my friend and I had never been there before and took our time deciding what to order, the staff was very patient and kind with us. Out of everything we ordered, the absolute top item was the deep-fried gyoza dumplings. They were so good that we ended up ordering two extra portions to go! XD The only dish that really disappointed us was the Omurice. Unfortunately, it was quite bland for our taste. It came as a combo with matcha pudding. We honestly couldn’t even eat 10% of the Omurice, but we were still charged for the full plate. So I guess you could say I paid $20 just for the pudding which, to be fair, was actually super delicious! Overall, it was a great experience because of the atmosphere, service, and those amazing gyoza. I would definitely go back, just not for the Omurice.

Kyuramen Knoxville is a great spot, especially the Honeycomb area—it has the perfect atmosphere for a date night. I went with my wife, and we had a wonderful experience. We ordered a mix of small-portion appetizers with about five different items, along with the chicken ramen and the spicy tonkotsu ramen. Everything was delicious, but the chicken nuggets really stood out—crispy, flavorful, and honestly one of my favorite bites of the night. The ramen was perfect for a cold winter day: rich, comforting, and very satisfying. They also serve house-made spicy radish, which was very spicy but incredibly good. It added a nice kick and paired perfectly with the ramen. Overall, great food, cozy vibe, and a lovely place to enjoy a meal together. We’ll definitely be coming back next time!

The atmosphere is SO cool. They have a huge wooden tree covered in little messages people have written on wooden tags. You can eat in a honeycomb pod. It was super packed when we went on a Thursday night, so we were only able to get bar seats, but it was cool watching the chefs cool and the lighting and design of everything was such a vibe. Their menu has so many unique options. We had a great time trying the honeycomb appetizer platter. The takoyaki was great, as was the shrimp tempura. We also split a bowl of the Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu ramen that came with a pork bar bun and a matcha pudding, all of which was incredible. And to top it off, the passion fruit boba tea was some of the best I've had. I would highly recommend coming here. It's a little expensive but it literally feels like walking into the heart of Tokyo in Knoxville. Very much worth your time, money, and appetite. There were so many good looking things on the menu, we will have to come back to try them all!

Smells weird but man tastes so good. I wish would give more meat but did fill everyone. The people are really nice and the design of the restaurant seating is unique. Try them out. 2nd time and loved it again, I missed they have prizes if you finish. Find the red label at bottom. Added fun for us. See image on prizes.

First timers, we got there 10 minutes before open. We got one of the honeycomb spots, and really enjoyed the design and atmosphere of the place. We interacted with a couple of waiters and staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. Our drinks were topped regularly and the waiter checked on us multiple times. The food came out at a good pace, spicy dumplings and octopus balls as appetizers - delicious. #1 Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu white garlic and #2 Katsuobushi Pork Ramen - delicious. Note: Nori and bamboo shoots have a peculiar texture and taste. For dessert we got the Matcha Tiramisu, I liked that it is not overly sweet, but not my wife’s favorite. Conclusion, we had a great experience, like any other restaurant that showcases the culinary tradition of other countries, you have to go with an open mind and try it.

We tried something new today and loved it. The takoyaki and bao bun appetizers were delicious and our ramen was hot and fresh. Service was excellent. Kimmy suggested items from the menu for us newbies and was so friendly. She also suggested we stop at Sunrise Market and that was really cool too.
