My first visit to "Japanese Kitchen Dosunko," on a Friday afternoon, circa 1230 hrs. Immediately were able to get two seats at the kitchen bar, closest to the open air kitchen. The place was full of customers, and they continued to fill the place throughout the entire time I was there, very popular.
Tried two items, the Dosunco karagi (Japanese fried chicken) and the Dosunco ramen. Both very well made and tasty. The Japanese fried chicken was lightly dusted, krispy and tasty. The dosunko ramen was a tasty product, the ground beef was a surprising and welcomed touch.
I look for my favorite type of ramen every time I visit a ramen place which is the tonkatsu ramen, unfortunately it is not available here. I am going to have to return to I Ai Sushi on Waters.
The service was horrible, mostly because they are understaffed. The main kitchen staff was working hard to deal with the kitchen, one individual dedicated to the dining room with the help of one main kitchen worker. I saw no help from the rear kitchen.
Overall prices is a bit on the high side. Tonkatsu ramen with slices of pork is $8.50 at "I Ai Sushi, " here in Dosunco, the most inexpensive ramen is $10.00 with an additional cost of $3.00 for pork slices.
My overall view of this restaurant is a positive. I would like to return to try other items on the menu. With time I hope the service will improve.

This new ramen shop is showing lots of promise and is a welcome addition to our city. I tried the Shoyu Ramen on my last visit and it was refreshing and affordable at $10 for a big gourmet ramen bowl. The restaurant gives you sporks that help chopstick impaired diners like myself.

The ingredients tasted great and the broth goes perfectly with the noodles although the broth by itself is a little salty due to the soy-base, just for your information. My friends udon noodles looked tempting and I'm thinking about getting a shrimp tempura udon next time.

The dining room could use some work as far as seat arrangements/efficiency and the turnaround time for ramen sent out can be improved, but for a new business that is paving the way for ramen in Tampa - I can be patient.

The appetizers are affordable at under $5 as is the sake with many prices at around $6. Complimentary barley tea is available which is a very Asian kind of drink, but anyone from Asia will appreciate the added item. The green tea mochi ice cream dessert was $2 and was delicious.

Parking is limited so try to carpool. I'm hoping the hours will be extended as business picks up as well. Ramen for lunch would be amazing.

I will definitely be back soon!
