“I was craving ramen last week after seeing everyone and their mom's going to Japan so I decided to make a trip to Tonchin after hearing all the hype. TLDR: I was thought it was trash.”

“Tonchin is my favorite ramen broth and noodles in the city but their pork chashu is weak. I have no idea why they think it’s acceptable to put those thin cold cut looking things in an otherwise wonderful bowl of ramen.”

“For recommendations, you should really try to pizza ramen. It sounds bizarre, but it's shockingly good. In appearance and texture, it looks exactly like ramen. In flavor it tastes exactly like pizza.”

“They did, however, recently revamp their tsukemen with a richer broth and new house-made whole wheat noodles. It's even better now.”
H3
“The mushroom appetizer is a must (as a mushroom hater, I couldn’t even tell it’s mushroom and went for seconds). Edamame was also heavenly. The tuna maguro was also delicious if you like tuna tartare”
H3
“I’m STILL thinking about it. The broth was so interesting! Rich and flavorful but not heavy. The Dashi mixed with the clam flavor so well. Had the white tartar (red snapper) that was too expensive for its size but it was so delicious. Strawberry shaved ice. Soba panna cotta. Peach highball. DREAM meal but not cheap.”
H3
“their broth and noodle texture are also on point and have a nice, bold flavor. The spicy miso is also extra delicious and their kakigori is next level.”
H3
“I thought it was pretty good - but could have used more seafood tbh (it was a seafood ramen). The broth was had a very strong umami flavor which I loved.”
H3
“Ordered the spicy tan tan and the mezcal cocktail. Both were quite delicious and worth the hour wait. Wish they gave you more pork though than those two thin ham-looking slices.”
H3
“I agree about the broth, seemed watered down/not rich enough. The wavy noodles were an interesting choice for place that only does tonkotsu, but after tasting the soup it seemed more like a cop out so they can use the same noodles for their miso ramen and save money. On a positive side, the presentation is very nice, it's a beautiful bowl of noodles. But yeah, over hyped.”

“I will say that as someone who loves Ramen, I find this place good, but a little overrated”

“really good, their edamame is a must order, and i personally believe their ramen is better than ichiran. sue me! 9.2”

“Although I love spicy food, the classic tonkotsu was the best to order here. Overall, it was satisfactory.”

“The standouts were the Chicken Sandwich at Commondore, Tonkatsu Ramen at Tonchin.”
H2
“The vegetables here were incredible. From a simple salad to even the dressing on the edamame.”
H2
“This time I thought the tonkotsu was just okay, and my husband thought it was bland. He got the smoked dashi, which was much better. I'd only go back for the latter.”
H2
“Tonkotsu ramen at Tonchin has completely ruined all other ramen for me permanently, ever. I wish I was joking.”

H2
“This is an amazing creative dish that’s executed perfectly. Cheesy, tomatoey, savory, so flavorful. I got the vegetarian version and my friend who got the original was equally blown away. Highly recommend”

“how does a bowl with an egg cost me $30 and is half the quality of Tonchin or Minca, which are both cheaper?”
H2
“Tons of great ramen including Japanese chains like ichiran and ippudo. Tabetomo in EV for tonkotsu, Okiburo house of tsukemen for handmade tontorri, Ishida for Tokyo shoyu or shio ramen, tonchin for Tokyo tonkotsu.”
