Decided to give Tanto Gyoza and Ramen Bar another try! It’s close to my work and yeah I did get tummy ache before but I think that’s just me and not their food. They are known for the gyoza but the ramen is good too! I’ll admit that I still like Wagaya better but this place is good too! And they are pretty fast at whipping out the gyoza and ramen! Tanto is located in the same lot as Nijiya Market in Manoa, free one hour parking. This is yet another restaurant where we went over the hour by like five minutes. I had to pay by machine again!!! This time it was $3.00.

Tanto Gyoza Hamamatsu Style (16 pcs) | $15.75

From top to bottom: Magic Gyoza Salt, Garlic Chili Sauce, Gyoza Sweet Ponzu Sauce

We got the gyoza to share as a table! Delicious gyoza. It was kind of funny, they brought out the gyoza and apologized that it was missing one piece and that it was coming out soon. Well, they then brought out three more so I guess we got a few for free! Score!

Mix Black Mazesoba | $17.75
tonkotsu shoyu & miso sauce with black garlic oil

My ramen! Yummy, I love black garlic oil. And I was hangry so I ordered kaedama (extra noodle) too which was $2.50 extra. I didn’t need that kaedama but I ordered when I was hangry so there we are. Very good ramen! We all enjoyed our dishes! I would recommend!
