Uchi Ramen & Tea

Stopped by Uchi Ramen and Tea in Kokomo, and it’s a solid new addition to the Asian food options around here. The restaurant sits in a very visible spot with an open, easy-access parking lot that it shares with the neighboring business. Inside, the place feels clean and well-maintained, including the restroom, which is always a plus. Ordering is pretty convenient with their self-service kiosks, and there’s even a drive-thru option. I imagine it’s mainly for the tea drinks? I tried the ramen, and while it was good, it didn’t stand out as anything particularly special. The broth had nice depth, though I wish the flavor popped just a bit more. I also ordered the karaage chicken, which came out crispy and satisfying, but again, fairly standard. Service was smooth, and food came out in a reason

All I can say is WOW!!! This place blew my mind from the flavor of the food, to the affordability and to the friendliness/attentiveness of the staff. I ordered the Beef Rib Ramen and the Chicken Katsu and it far far exceeded my expectations for both. The beef rib was cooked to perfection, extremely moist and tender. The broth was everything you imagine, extremely deep and rich with flavor. The chicken katsu was out of this world. Crispy, juicy and delicious. I didn’t realize both were entire meals alone, so I had plenty to bring home to enjoy later! I can’t wait to bring my family back here!!! By far the best in Kokomo and in my opinion, all of Indiana!!!

The Ramen was great and the service was very good. My six year old dropped his spoon and she had another at the table immediately. We very much enjoyed eating there and will return often.

Service was quick, came here for a quick quiet date. My Pork Ramen was absolutely amazing I got it with medium spice very flavorful cooked to perfection. The beef Ramen was decent but not as flavorful as the pork. The sushi in the picture as you can tell was over sauced I ate a piece and sent it back but it was fresh. The calamari had a lot of flavor but was not as tender as I would like. The pot stickers were ok. Not pictured my a Lychee tea that was very good if you are into the sweetness. Overall I will be coming back mainly for the Tonkatsu shou Ramen...I probably spelled that wrong😅.

In a word: Awesome! We've been looking for a Poke Bowl to replace our favorite from the last place we lived. We found it here, and then some. The food was delicious and the serving size was huge. Great, friendly service and drinks that taste like dessert.
