Service was fine, nothing to complain about there. Unfortunately, the rest was terrible. Overly sweet eel sauce on unagi. The spicy miso ramen sort of tastes like dishwater and the tonkatsu was far too sweet with no umami to speak of. Overpriced as well. I guess the people of Wake Forest have never had good ramen. Also what's with the name (TDLLO)? It doesn't even make sense as an acronym.

I had Ramen, it wasn’t great. My friend had the curry, it wasn’t great. I also had gyoza, I’ve had better frozen ones for much cheaper. The sushi was OK. Would not return

We have dined here quite a few times now and have enjoyed our experience each time. The sushi is slightly more pricey than other nearby sushi establishments, but the quality is worth it. I always start with Nigiri and it is always the freshest tasting around. My only complaint is the Nigiri flights come with 6 pieces of the same exact fish. I was hoping for some variety. A "flight" to me typically means a small sampling of different items from the same category, so when I ordered the Tuna Nigiri flight, I expected different types of Tuna or at least different garnishes for each piece, but it was 6 pieces of the same Bluefin Tuna prepared the same way topped with Roe. They do have a Chefs flight Nigiri which offers more variety, but I don't like all the options included in that and it is an upcharge to swap anything out (even if you're swapping a more expensive fish for a cheaper one). I have also tried their Ramen, Yakisoba, and various specialty sushi rolls and all have been delicious. Great atmosphere and always good service here.

Fantastic service, friendly bartender, quick service, beautiful hostesses, mediocre ramen, price does NOT reflect… Yet to try the sushi 🍣. I would come back for the atmosphere and to try the sushi. Ramen is poor quality meat was dry, and had some weird piss sticks, that reminds me of piss.

Just WOW! I took my 6 year old for lunch. Lauren, our server, was absolutely amazing, attentive, and super nice. The dishes were well presented and delicious with nice portions. We had the kids chicken hibachi, sunomo don, and spicy ramen. Mochi for dessert. All of which I would highly recommend. We will definitely be back! I'm so glad we tried it out today.

This review is for a to go order. The order was timely and packaged very well. I had the meat lovers ramen and felt that it lacked flavor. The pork was the best part, but I was disappointed in the broth. The sushi was the best part. I would definitely come back for that!

Places my order online and ToastTab would not let me change the pick up time. I called immediately to ask if they could hold for about 30 mins later, they were no help. When I arrived I stood at the front desk for 5-10 minutes with no greeting and other staff members walking around the restaurant. It smelled odd in there. Also, when I got my food home they put seafood sushi in with a veggie roll - good thing we didn’t have any allergies!!

I had heard great things about this and have been wanting to come. Finally made it and it did not disappoint! The Ramen was great and my wife really enjoyed the Hibachi Chicken.

The only thing I wish I had different was the going meat in my Ramen was lacking in flavor not bad just wanted more flavor in that particular meat. All the other meats were great

Sushi Experience №23

The sushi is fine but their ramen is impressively tasteless. I had the spicy miso ramen and not only was it not even remotely spicy, but the soup tasted like watered down chicken broth. The bok choy they added seemed like it was boiled in water without a hint of any salt or spices and then added directly to the soup, which probably made it even more watery. The bamboo shoot topping tasted straight out of the can and the ground meat was overcooked and bland too.

The service was quick and the staff was nice but it's not worth the price for something that's worse than instant noodles.

Excellent sushi and reasonably priced for the quality. It had a great atmosphere except for a colored light strip that went across one wall. Didn't quite match with the classy feel of the rest of it. It also changed colors which was kind of annoying to sit next to.

Went here for a birthday dinner and it absolutely did not disappoint! This was the first time I've have ramen cooked properly at a restaurant and damn was it good! I now feel like I need this on a weekly basis!
For an appetizer we got the Bao and the Takoyaki and they were both so good. The pork in the Bao was cooked perfectly and the Takoyaki was brand new for us and it was damn good. For the ramen I got the Shoyu, the broth was super flavorful and the pork was cooked to perfection. Our sushi rolls were the Crunchy Roll, Godzilla Roll and a deep fried roll, they were all very flavorful! I will definitely be coming back here.

Bao - 9/10
Takoyaki - 8.5/10
Shoyu Ramen - 9.5/10
Crunchy Roll - 7/10
Godzilla Roll - 8.8/10
Deep fried roll - 9.1/10

Had a wonderful experience this past weekend at Tdllo! Our waitress was wonderful and took our drink/ appetizer order immediately. When our appetizers came out looked exactly like the picture and had amazing flavors’, my husband didn’t care for the quail egg but I liked it. Our kids got the Tonkatsu Ramen and the beef Ramen, they love it. My husband and I got the small boat, I must say the sushi is the best I have had in the area. So fresh that the leftovers the next day tasted great, this has never been the case for us with other places. At the end we even ordered a Tonkatsu Ramen Togo for lunch the next day. The flavor is out of this world. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

I've been to TDLLO a few times now, and I've been very pleased to find Gluten Free options, both in the Hibachi and Sushi menus. Right now they have a separate GF supplement to the menu, but my server told me they will be printing new menus soon with GF items and options clearly marked in the menu. The food is good, the wait staff knowledgeable about gluten allergy needs and friendly. This will definitely be a regular option for me.

Excellent ramen and sushi which is surprising because I've had sushi in many different countries. The only annoyance was a athletic class being held next door was pounding the music away. The restaurant won't do it but they should honestly rip the wall out and install sound deadening. It was extremely distracting to an otherwise great meal.

Really fresh and delicious food, cool friendly atmosphere. Tried a variety of different sushi and absolutely loved everything. Delicious spring rolls, fried rice, etc. Can’t wait to try many more dishes! When we walked in and asked what time they were closing, we realized we were cutting it right before they were probably getting ready to clean up and close down. We told them that we will come back another time when we aren’t cutting it so close. The hostess actually ran out after us outside and insisted we come back, that it was fine and they would love to serve us, no problem at all. That’s excellent customer service right there!!!! Highly recommend!!

I've been to a lot of sushi places while traveling the country but this is by far one of the best. I tend to dine alone and sometimes the staff can make you feel a tad awkward. Absolutely not the case here. When i was given this rainbow roll the Waitress and I both shared a good chuckle, I mean in the presentation alone this place deserves a 5/5. Top quality fish and the staff is very warm and inviting. I will be returning 🤗

We got take out this evening. We have been here quite a few times and it has always been good. Tonight the prices have obviously gone up a bit but we ordered anyway. The food was just ok. Nothing great and you could tell not a lot of care was taken with it. If you are going to charge that much at least keep the quality up. We probably won’t be back. Super disappointed.

Try to be fair with this review, went to this place today for lunch with my wife and disappointed with the food as we order 2 appetizers and it taste as frozen fried food. As for the main dishes, we order the pork katsu bowl, shrimp yakisoba and the spicy miso ramen. Where should I start? The katsu bowl was so salty which the chef probably pour the bottle of soy sauce on to the pork, the yakisoba noodles was ok and last the spicy miso ramen was down right disappointing.

Very nice selection of dishes, sushi & sashimi and sakes. Attentive but not annoying wait staff.
Only minor negative was it was a little cool inside, and our table was right under an ac vent. High ceiling, so her light shawl/wrap was enough for her to be comfortable.

$168 for four people which included two apps, a large bottle of sake and a nice tip for waitress was very reasonable to me for the high quality of food and service.

My classmates and I went to this restaurant on the 22nd. After a couple of bites, I found a hair in my food. I informed the waitress and she took my plate away. I informed her that I didn't want a replacement plate. What was so disappointing is, the manager never came over to apologize or to see if she could set things right. She only came over, an hour later, to explain a dish that my classmate had ordered. Our server, Tabitha, was very polite and demonstrated good customer service. As a manager, she should have tried to ensure that she would have a return customer, but I, nor my classmates will be returning.

We come here at least once a month and it never disappoints. The service is always wonderful, food always delicious. This last time blew me away, though. I lost an envelope of money there and didn't realize it until a few days later. I stopped in and the lovely hostess had picked it up from the floor the night I dropped it, put it away at the desk, and then the manager kept it in a safe spot for me, not even knowing whose it was! I was so thankful for the kindness and honesty displayed by the staff. I am a lifer!

This place calls itself a ramen bar but the ramen is bland and overcooked. The appetizers are definitely not made to order they taste freezer burnt. Save yourself the money and make ramen at home it’ll be better than eating here. The building is very small and cramped, when the workout classes start next-door the wall shakes and music blares. Also noticed servers gathering at the bar talking loudly creating an overall weird environment.

I’ve always had a good experience here on the few times that we came. The food is always great. The last time that I came here which was today (Mother’s day) was not a good one. I came today to celebrate Mother’s Day with my 2 children and my husband. Upon arrival, the host takes us to a table so we requested the host to put us in a booth instead. Each time we’ve gone there we’ve always sat in the booth as it’s just easier with 2 kids and more private. I’m a breastfeeding mom and needed that bit of privacy to feed my baby as I’ve done the last time there. The host replies that he cannot take us to a booth because the stroller would be in the way of the servers bringing food. This has never been an issue. We could’ve easily taken the car seat out of the stroller and put it out of the walkway like we’ve always done. But instead his response was to be unaccommodating and not give us a booth as requested. I found that to be unprofessional and distasteful considering it is Mother’s Day. We decided to leave after that and go to Asuka Asian bistro which happily accommodated us.

The owners here need to be aware of what their staff is doing. As a customer seeing the bartender vaping behind the bar and hanging all over, whom I’d assume to be her girlfriend, is extremely unprofessional. Not to mention the comments heard coming out of her mouth as we left. Very unprofessional and we won’t be coming back.

In order to accommodate more customers, they have placed the tables too close to each other. This makes it too stuffy in the restaurant.

Sushi is great. We had mixed experiences with Ramen after 2 visits. The broth in the ramen is the best part. The meat is the worst part. It was unevenly cooked.
We also tried Hibachi and it was yummy.

I've been here a few times over the last couple of months. I've never had a to wait for a table, but I could see possibly having to wait when the restaurant is full (it's not very big). I go here primarily for the sushi. The food looks beautiful and it taste great too. I have not been disappointed yet with any of their sushi rolls. I like to try different ones each time I go here. All the people I have gone with have also enjoyed the sushi. I have tried the ramen. It was good, but I will probably just stick to sushi in the future.
The chicken katsu over rice is very good as well. The drinks from the bar have been great. I liked the ginger tea pot when ending the meal. It was so refreshing.
The service is great. All the hosts and servers have been friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable with the menu. The place is very clean looking as well. It was very cold the last time I went, so I would recommend bringing a light jacket. It was difficult to enjoy because of the cold air blowing directly down.

We started with the gyoza. They were fine. For lunch, I got the shoyu and my wife got the spicy ramen. We both agreed that our dishes just weren’t too flavorful, but the main thing was that the beef wasn’t cooked properly. It was a little tough while also being mushy. The noodles were underdone. I’m a big fan of ramen, so I have a good idea of what to expect, and this place just fell short of other places I’ve been to.

That said, the services was excellent and the atmosphere was nice. I might go back to try their sushi at some point, but not the ramen.

We had a lovely meal. Our server Jess had great recommendations based on our tastes. We enjoyed the shoyu ramen with spice in the side, pink lady roll, and tuna amazing roll. My young nephew enjoyed the kids hibachi with ramen noodles. Great meal. Thanks again Jess from the odd couple.

This place was amazing! From our bartender Jess walking us through the drink selection process and the amazing fresh made sushi it’s hard to beat. We sat at the bar and couldn’t have been happier with that decision, she made our whole meal. It was not crazy busy when we went so we had the pleasure of having a sustained conversation with Jess to learn more about her and her life. She made our experience flawless could not recommend the restaurant and sitting at the bar with Jess enough!

One of our family's favorite dinner spots. It's not the cheapest as ramen bowls run $17 to $19 but it's consistently delicious and the portions are more than adequate. The Seafood Ramen is my favorite and I always order it with a side of wakame salad and hamachi nigiri that I share with the Mrs. (the ramen is all mine though!)

The service is consistently good and the craft cocktails are pretty tasty as well. As expected, they get busy during prime time on the weekends especially.

One thought, with summer around the corner, how about some karaoke on the side patio.

In Hibachi, Chicken was overcooked, dry and almost not chewable. Noodles were ok but not as great as I was expecting, service and atmosphere was good though. In hibachi dish there were very small portion of veggies.

Came here for lunch for the first time today, I ordered the lunch chicken yakisoba and a small avocado/cucumber roll. The chicken was delicious as was the sauce on the noodles, and the miso soup was very flavorful and yummy. The pickled ginger with the sushi was the most delicious I’ve ever tasted. My husband ordered the shoyu ramen and he said it was also delicious. We’re excited to go back!

Update: they’ve unfortunately changed to a new pickled ginger that’s lower in quality imo. It smells like pine sol now.

I’ll start with the food. Nothing tasted good maybe the shrimp shumai at best due to not being made in house.

The chicken tempura roll the worse I’ve ever had. It was a chicken tender literally wrapped in the so called sushi rice and seaweed that instantly fell apart. It wasn’t even fried in the panko as it usually is in other more legit sushi restaurants. I won’t even waste my time on the other food.

The waitress was nice but disrespected me in a way I have never experienced in my life. I went to eat with my 5 year old son just him and I. Boy do toddlers love to use the bathroom at the most inconvenient times. I had my huge work bag with me which contained my work computer, I would never dare to leave that behind especially without anyone to watch it. The bathroom is on the opposite end of the where the front door is all the way towards the back. Also the restaurant is not very big so it’s easy to keep track of folks. My son and I got up I grabbed my bag for obvious reasons passing our waitress going clearly into the bathroom. As my son is using the bathroom by the sink on my work cellphone answering emails and messages.

I notice a woman enter but I did look up from my phone to see who it was. The woman didn’t use the bathroom just began washing her hands. No big deal I said to myself some people like to wash their hands before they use the bathroom. When the woman was drying her hands she begins talking to me and she said would you like a box ? I’m like huh ? It was our waitress. She really followed me into the bathroom to ask me about my table if I wanted a check to see what if I was leaving ? I have never been treated so disgusting like I was here. She could have waited for me leave the bathroom to ask this.
I planned to never return due to the food but this lack of unprofessionalism took the thought of let me go back and try something else right out the window. Please people they are better more legit sushi places than this trash.

I had been waiting for this place to Open, and I am so glad it finally did!
I love the giant fish on the ceiling, and the whole look of the inside.
Sushi is one of my favorites, and this place does not disappoint--for delivery, take out, or dine-in.
Their selection of rolls is refreshingly different from most places, and it's served beautifully--I almost feel bad eating the masterpiece that arrives.
But only until the first bite, because after that I need to do my yummy food dance, and finish the rest as fast as possible.
Great choices for Saki, and hot entrees also!
The staff has been so welcoming everytime, I cant wait to go back!!

I ordered the hibachi shrimp with fried rice for lunch, and it’s one of the best hibachi meals I’ve ever had! 👍🍤 The veggies were fresh and crisp, the shrimp were large and the sauce was delicious — not too salty, not too heavy on the soy sauce. The sushi also looks amazing and the 2 bites I tried were very good. There is a lot of sushi to choose from on the menu, along with ramen bowls. 🍜 Our server was very sweet and friendly, and the atmosphere was modern, and peaceful. I expect this restaurant to do well as more people discover it.

Our server, Jessica, was extremely gratuitous and helpful when we asked for suggestions for ramen and sushi. Was very happy with all the food we got, definitely recommend getting any ramen with their soft boiled egg. I will say, we spent roughly $35 for each myself and my fiance, but we got way too much food in the end. More than likely you could leave the restaurant with a meal for two less than $60 with tip. Very good prices, excellent and very quick service. Spent less than an hour total in the restaurant and left full and happy

Hey everyone, just wanted to share my thoughts on TDLLO Ramen & Sushi, where we ate recently. The place is really nice inside – beautiful decor and everything on the tables is set up just right.

So, when we sat down, they gave us the menus. There was a main one and a lunch menu. It was a bit confusing though, because it was 4 o'clock and they told us lunch service ended at 3. Not sure why they still had the lunch menus out – kinda wasted our time looking through it.

Now, the main menu was great. It's big, with clear pictures and descriptions of everything. Super easy to choose what you want.

We ordered a couple of ramens and takoyaki. The ramens were awesome – I had the chicken katsu one. But, the takoyaki wasn't our cup of tea. We love Japanese food and usually like takoyaki, but these ones were too basic, not much filling, and sadly, no octopus. They looked good on the plate, though.

About the service – it was quick, which is good because the place wasn’t busy. But the vibe from the waiter was kind of off. They weren’t rude or anything, just not very warm or welcoming. As someone who runs a business, I think it's super important for the staff to be friendly and make customers feel good. Waiters should create a welcoming and positive atmosphere as they are the face of the business.

As for the restaurant, we plan to visit it again to sit at the bar, try some cocktails, and other dishes for sure. However, I want to draw the attention of the management and owners of the restaurant to the staff, specifically their energy. As I mentioned before, the waiters represent the restaurant, and some details need to be improved. For instance, having the lunch menu at 4 pm, when lunch is served until 3 pm, is unnecessary and confusing. Or, when we finished our food, we asked for the bowls "to go". However, our empty plates were not taken away. Later, when we asked for the bill, it was brought to us, but again, the empty plates were not taken away. So, we sat at the table with empty plates for the last 10 minutes, which is not critical. But, if we pay attention to details, it could have been avoided.

We tried this place tonight, recommended by our community web. The service was excellent. The atmosphere & ambiance was quaint, we had a big crowd & can hear everyone clearly on our table. Our server was very attentive & made good recommendations.
The setback was the food…. I had sashimi/sushi/& a roll, & went home with a belly ache (everything came out in liquid), the shoyu ramen looked great but the broth was not hot (in temperature). The spicy miso ramen was bland (spicy, but bland as if someone forgot to salt or add soy sauce) also the broth could be a little warmer in temperature too. We ordered “sunset sushi” and gyoza for appetizer & they were great! I was really excited to see new establishments come to Wake Forest, but was a little disappointed on our first experience.

First off let me say this would have been a 5- star review had it not been for the smell coming from the restroom to our table, we moved seats and it only slightly helped. Smelled like a bad sewage or someone destroyed the bathroom. But I digress, on to the service. IMPECCABLE!! Laura was our waitress, she was extremely friendly, knowledgeable of menu items, and gave great suggestions, I tried the Tonkotsu Ramen on her suggestion and the flavor was phenomenal. I didn’t even need the noodles. Next time I’ll take her suggestion on the spicy ramen bowl. The volcano roll was good ( although not spicy) and the dragon roll was good with the eel sauce. Had plenty. My husband had the special bang bang oyster roll which he demolished before I could try it. But he says it was amazing. He had the green dragon roll which to his surprise has diced mango on top, he enjoyed that as well. This was our first trip here and it won’t be our last. lol! Cute little hidden gem.

Went for lunch to try out the sushi. I got the Passion roll and the Crazy Salmon roll. The sushi was good - have had better but also have definitely had worse. Good quality fish but the flavors of the rolls were bland. The price of the sushi was a bit high in my opinion. For the price I could go down the road to Mizu and have better sushi and 3 rolls for the price I paid for two here.

The music playing in the restaurant was loud and what I believe to be Japanese music... it was a bit much as well. The waitress only came to my table when my mouth was full of food which was fine because I didn't need anything I just found that funny.

All in all would come back if other places were not available/open. I would like to try the Ramen next time.

I ordered twice via GrubHub (sick and didn'twant to go in person)... both times half my order was missing. The bag was stapled shut when it was delivered. That tells me it was the restaurant that didn't bag my order correctly. Menu prices are a bit high to not double-check a delivery order before it leaves the restaurant.

This is my new favorite sushi place. I’ve spent my birthday here, several girls nights etc. love it. I would like to review based on takeout only. I’ve done takeout 2x and one delivery (DoorDash). Takeout will give you a time to pick up but it’s never right. It’s either way earlier or way later. DoorDash was super confusing and time was off. I also want to say they really cram the sushi rolls in TIGHT. so if you have a sauce one one roll it will be all over the other. Don’t love that.

All in all the food is soooo good!!! Just wish takeout was a better experience.

Came here yesterday for lunch - and the sushi was amazing, but I was appalled at the managers behavior in front of customers. She had an employee doing things off of the clock, and when the employee jokingly said "I will do this out of the kindness of my heart" the manager threw her hands up and said "you'd only be making like 2 cents anyways" and a few other incredibly rude statements. That is no way to treat your employees, and especially loudly in front of customers. Highly disappointed.
