Overall take: disappointed.
I was excited to go here after reading the reviews online. The ramen was average +. It is a self serve restaurant much like Chipotle (order at front and wait for food) and shocked to see the default for tips was 18-25%. Don’t mind tipping but not sure what I’m tipping for, I tip this amount for my full 1+ hour service meal at Coopers Hawk, not Token.
Restaurant felt underwhelming. For a mini chain that is growing, they could do a better job with the atmosphere.
Ordered the Tonkotsu and Spicy Tonkotsu. If you’re in the area and are craving ramen, this is an ok establishment. If you are thinking about coming out of your way to eat here….PASS, go somewhere else.

Token Ramen & Tea (Kung Fu Tea) opened two days ago at The Shops at Wiregrass!
They are located right in the main entrance between Grillsmith and Cantina Laredo. The interior is nicely decorated with ample amount of seating on the inside and they have four tables on the patio for outside dining.
We got our food to go:
- Ninja Chicken Nuggets
- Takoyaki
- Black Garlic Ramen
- Mega Pork Ramen
- Honey Oolong Tea with Boba
- Passionfruit Green Tea with Boba
Overall the food is really good even with just take out instead of dine in. We are glad that their food and drinks are consistent with other Token Ramen locations!
The Mega Pork Ramen was really good: the broth is super milky but a tiny bit salty in my opinion. However, you can taste the different flavors of the pork chashu slices from the Pulled Pork Chashu and the Mega Pork Chashu. The eggs are perfectly seasoned as well.
The broth in the Black Garlic Ramen is definitely smells garlicky and looks on point, but I expected more of the black garlic taste in the ramen. It is still good overall but I had high expectations lol
I’m going to get a little technical with drinks because I have a family member who works at KFT in SoFlo:
The drinks are made perfectly just we ordered:
- Honey Oolong Tea with no milk, no ice, boba, and 100% sugar
- Passionfruit Green Tea with no ice, boba, 30% sugar (less sweet)
The two girls at the front making the bobas were very consistent and well versed in their orders: they poured all of the drinks over ice first before capping them off. Overall I am super appreciative of the bobaristas because not every place gets our order correctly and usually leaves something out.
Here are a couple of tips to keep in mind before you visit:
- You will need to fight the mall parking because they are inside wiregrass. So be prepared to drive around to find parking!
- They just opened two days ago (on Friday) so they are very overwhelmed in the kitchen so BE PREPARED to wait for your food!
The drinks are not an issue and come out within 5-8 minutes max, but the food took over 40 min for it to come out. You will need to order first before you can sit down at a table so the cashier will tell you that the food will take about 40min wait. The service is super nice and friendly and they are very apologetic about the delay.
- You might be able to order ahead (if you are lucky) because they are super busy and sometimes they don’t pick up the phones. We tried calling them a few times and we decided to just head over there and order in person instead.
Overall we are super glad that this place opened up and now we get our boba within 5 min from our house! We will definitely return again for the food in a few weeks when they have adjusted to their routines.

Fantastic ramen and gyoza. We ordered the tonkotsu with the spicy sauce on the side. Both normal and spicy were very delicious. My husband says it’s better spicy! Although the prices are the same for both tonkotsu and spicy tonkotsu, if you order it the way we did, you will pay an extra $1.50 for the spicy sauce.
We also ordered the coffee milk tea boba and it was good as well. Came here on a Saturday and it was so busy at 1pm! Definitely recommend.

First time here and didn’t disappoint. The drinks were rich in flavor and the boba tasted fresh. Also, I tried the chicken salt and pepper which was cooked crunchy on the outside and juicy in the middle the sweet sauce on the side gave it a nice contrast. Overall friendly customer service.
