    Shoyu Tonkotsu
    Steph W.

    Ambiance (4/5): Inside is super tight with tables almost sitting on top of each other. However, the establishment has a very cozy vibe with the wooden panels along the walls. The place is dimly lit with a moderate noise volume. It was a full restaurant at 7:30p on a weeknight but I was solo and seated immediately. Service (5/5): Several staff members bustling around but I felt like I was attended to during my whole stay. It took approx. 20 minutes for my ramen to be served. Tonkotsu Ramen (4/5): The broth was umami but missing something (I had to ask for chili oil for additional flavoring/spice). The charsiu pork was a bit on the dry side but at least they were two medium sized thick cuts. The soft boiled marinated egg was delicious. The ramen noodles were straight-cut so not the usually chewy bites that I prefer. I think overall, it was good but not everything I had hoped for.

    When it's cold outside, a warm bowl of ramen usually does the trick. Came across this location after a long Black Friday shopping adventure. Walk-ins are welcomed and we got seated right away. From ordering to the food arrival, it was an acceptable time. For Food we ordered a miso and shoyu ramen. Both were good, but personally the miso was a lot more flavorful and richer than the shoyu which tasted a bit basic. Overall I would recommend coming and trying their menu, will come back again to try others

    A great place to stop by if you're near Washington Square park. This is a spot I frequent that always has great customer service and seats quickly. The space is self is very beautiful with anime and mangas illustrations on the wall and cherry blossoms trimming the wooden panels along the ceiling. The food is great, I usually go for a Tan Tan ramen if not the sushi. Recently tried the YUBU set, it's pretty good the Spicy Tuna was great, it was sweet and filling. Highly recommend.

    Came here for dinner a few weeks ago on a Thursday and it wasn't too busy at the time. We ordered a few things, all of which were great - and service was fast and efficient. The vibe is casual and I can imagine given the locale, it's probably ideal for college students in the area. Would definitely recommend the karaage as well as the chicken katsu curry ramen! The menu is pretty expansive so I'll definitely stop back in to try other items. A great last minute option for an affordable and delicious meal.

    Had to come here since they offer an NYU student discount and are so close to campus, I figured this would be a great place to get ramen on a cold evening. I went with a friend and we shared the "Stern Roll" which was pretty okay, and kinda pricey, even for sushi. I went for the dipping ramen made with chicken and chicken broth (the default might be pork on that one), and the noodles were good but the broth was too salty for my liking. We also ordered the chicken katsu set which is definitely the most bang for your buck and it comes with a Japanese curry upgrade and the curry was so flavorful and definitely worth the additional $2. Service wasn't great, we had to make it in time for class and kept having to chase our waiters down, despite it being not too busy. Come for the lunch specials!

    Avocado Yubu Set

    Great food and quick service! Right near NYU and affordable prices for students, including a 10% discount. Perfect cold day stop with intimate, indoor seating

    Very good ramen! Ingredients were fresh and plentiful. Service was good and even the bathroom was clean and nice.

    Shrimp Tempura; Spicy Pork

    Note that I was there as 1 person and when it was only slightly busy. Ordering was simple, the waiters were chill, and the food came out hot and perfect spice. It was really peaceful in the restaurant too. 9/10

    This is their Shoyu Tonkotsu ramen (picture taken in May)

One of those lucky accidents. Easy to walk past if you're not looking for it. The entrance is subtle, almost like a hallway leading you somewhere. But once you're inside, the vibe is genuinely good. Not trying too hard, just comfortable and cool. I had a couple cocktails while I was there. They have a solid bar program and everything I tried landed.

This place is packed and they have their Michelin Bib Gourmand placard all lined up from 2019 to 2025 at the front, so expectations for a good bowl of ramen is high. I tried their Tokyo Ramen ($22), which overall tasted pretty good. The noodles were freshly made and had good texture to it. The broth itself was light, rich, not garlicky, and tasted really clean. The portion did feel a bit on the frugal side. Service is alright for the most part. The bartender ended up taking the person's order that sat after me, which did tick me off a bit as I was ready to order myself and got skipped over. Ended up waiting another 5 minutes before I finally got to place in my order. A simple question asking if I was ready would have fixed that issue, rather than assume I wasn't.

I have a shrimp allergy and politely asked if the shrimp tempura could be substituted. The server immediately said no, without offering any alternative or showing much concern. He said I can remove it myself. I said so let the shrimp inside the bowl for me to remove? WTH. For a restaurant, especially one serving customizable ramen dishes, with a allergy list post on the wall by the counter where I sat at B1, a little flexibility or empathy toward food allergies would go a long way. The interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming, which made the overall dining experience uncomfortable. Customer service matters just as much as the food, and sadly this visit fell short. The smashed cucumber was good. Spicy dumpling was good. Ramen broth was light, not as rich or flavorful as others. There are so many good ramen places in NYC, this Chinese Ramen place has lot of room to improve.

If you loved Totto's spicy paitan ramen like I did, look no further because Toribro has what you need. I only wish they offered the super spicy ramen with chili oil on the side like the good old days, but the standard spicy packs a punch too! The regular size ramen was plenty, but don't let that stop you from trying the decadent Mega with all of the toppings. The food came out hot and fast too, so my table of two was in and out in less than 45 minutes easily. The menu is pretty straightforward with few choices that are all delicious - a perfect spot for the quintessential quick bite and a fair price to match. Vibe-wise, this place is a true hole in the wall with steps leading down from street level into a basement. The inside is packed and intimate so I'd come with a small party such as a friend or a date who's into good food. There was no line when I visited on a Sunday at opening time, but it got packed quickly so be prepared to wait on the sidewalk or arrive at noon. As someone who's moved out of NYC years ago, I made an effort to visit Totto Ramen every time I come back and now Toribro has taken that spot in my itinerary.
