Tenka is very good. I wish the servings were bigger but it's the closest I've had around here to what I had in Japan.

Tenka downtown is great - they just have weird hours. Aforementioned Ramen Spot on grace is decent, but my favorite is Takara out on broad near sam's club. I wish it was in the city, but it's worth the drive. The new spot opening in church hill should be good. I had it when they were doing pop ups at the jasper during COVID, and the tonkotsu was pretty banging, just interested to see how they flesh out the rest of the menu.

Takara was alright. I should give them another try. And yes tenka has weird hours.

Takara was way below Tenka in my opinion. Tenka was great for lunch when I had to be downtown.

The Jasper folks are opening one in Church Hill (https://richmondmagazine.com/restaurants-in-richmond/food-news/when-the-broth-hits-the-lips/) I think they've had pop ups in the past, but no direct experience with how it was then.

Is the Ramen Spot on Grace not good? Never been, just seen the name.

I’ve eaten there twice and enjoyed it both times but I’m far from a ramen connoisseur so I have no idea how it stacks up with other spots. Service was fast, it was warm and tasty so no complaints.

Real not good, bland

I like that place, the Ramen is solid

e: It's not ramen tetsu ya, but I've ordered several times and never had a bad experience, some of these sound like one offs or people not realizing what they were ordering.

That place is terrible. Went there one time and the ramen I purchased had Philly Cheesesteak style meat and it was missing obvious ramen ingredients. Highly recommend not going there.
