    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Carissa C.

    Came here on a whim on a Friday night. We were seated right away. Waitress service fast and to the point. I got tonkotsu flavor broth, they also had a low sodium option, which I opted for. It came with mushroom, corn, soy egg, bamboo shoots, and pork belly added in bok choy for 1.5 dollars extra. Overall broth was typical and I was happy to get the low sodium option as it was flavorful. The pork was good melt in your mouth. Only thing the noodles were too chewy but overall great spot!

    The service is amazing. The ramen is crazy good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]And the place looks great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I really think it deserves more people

    gyoza, spicy miso ramen, tonkotsu ramen

    price - $80 including tax and tip food - 4/5 service - 4.5/5 ambiance - 4/5 overall, this is definitely one of the better japanese restaurants serving ramen in the bay ridge area. i highly recommend the spicy miso ramen because its filled with flavor. it has a perfect balance of spice and miso flavor. the tonkotsu was good but it wasnt as good as their spicy miso ramen. their gyoza was AMAZING. it was crunchy on the outside yet moist and soft on the inside. these dumplings only contain beef so its definitely halal friendly within the bay ridge area. the service was top tier, serving us water and giving us ample time to figure out what we wanted to eat. they also checked up on us numerous times. [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance is definitely very chill but the chairs are slightly uncomfortable so thats something to beware of in the future.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] definitely try this place out!!!!

    Tonkotsu Ramen

    Got the tonkotsu ramen and black garlic tonkotsu ramen at Tanoshii. There was no wait on a Friday night and the staff was very friendly. The food came out quickly and the portions were good. It's not quite traditional Japanese ramen, so beware if that's what you're looking for. Overall, the ramen was ok, flavorful but a bit salty. I subbed the pork in the black garlic tonkotsu for tofu, but that might've been the wrong move. The tofu is fried, and retains the oil so that, plus black garlic oil, made my soup too oily and difficult to finish. The ramen noodles were cooked well though and the roasted pork is very flavorful. It's not chasiu but it's got a nice crisp outside and the flavor is strong. Overall, it's a decent place for a hot bowl of ramen on a chilly day.

    If you're looking for delicious ramen you've stopped at the right spot. I've put my coworkers on to this spot and they all love it as well. We get it delivered and once it arrives I take the egg out, put my broth, mix it up and put it in the microwave for about 2 mins to get the noodles to my liking. Plus I prefer my soup hot as well. I always order a side of the spicy sauce and sometimes an extra.

    Spicy Miso Ramen

    Stopped by for a quick bite after a massage next door, & I was pleasantly surprised by the ramen here! I ordered the spicy miso ramen ($15) and received my order within minutes. The spicy miso broth is flavorful and mildly spicy, and not too rich! Ramen noodles were perfectly al dente and complemented the broth well. The spicy ground meat was also one of my favorite toppings as it was really flavorful, but everything else was nothing to write home about. Portion size was perfect for me, though I could also see it being a bit small for others. Service was incredibly attentive and kind - there was only one server, but she frequently checked in to make sure I had everything I needed. The restaurant itself is a bit small but well spaced - perfect for grabbing a meal with a friend, but not great for large parties.

The Ramen was really really delicious noodles perfect , veggie in it perfectly cooked and pork belly was delicious. Broth had such s nice flavor my husband loved it!

    Chicken Bone Ramen

    Such an amazing ramen spot in the area! Not only is the staff very attentive and hospitable, but the food is delicious too! I would highly recommend the chicken ramen and the wings. The broth for the ramen is super flavorful and the noodles had a great bite. The wings are well seasoned and well fried. The food is healing and comforting. Would come back to try their other dishes and would definitely recommend this spot to satisfy any noodle cravings!

    Spicy Miso Ramen
    Serenity G.

    Spacious and has good amount of seating. The service is really friendly and they're really accommodating. I really wanted to like this place because of how nice they were but the ramen does need more work. My husband and I ordered 2 ramens (spicy tan tan and spicy miso) and crispy Brussels sprouts. Portion was good. I did like the pork that came with the ramen, it was very tender. However, the flavors of the broth was definitely more Chinese and less Japanese. Brussel sprout was pretty good, I would have liked it more if it was more crispy.

    Some yummy food!

    I love this restaurant. The food is delicious!Everyone should come to eat here! The service here is amazing and fast! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is great! You feel very comfortable and relaxed.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is a very nice place to be. P.s. you should try the noodles and edamame beans.

    You have WiFi?

    No WiFi. Not a place to hang out. Ramen is eat and go.

    Do they serve alcohol here?

    Yes they do, but I believe its limited.

    Is this more of a Chinese Ramen, or a REAL Japanese Ramen?

    This place is owned by Korean people so it's more like Korean Ramen, like the one in the city on University place

Some of the staff has been here for a while, which tells me it is a well managed operation. Quality is still the focus at TONCHIN. Table comfort is still not. I love to bring my children when not crazy crowded so they can also enjoy one of the best ramen restaurants in the world. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I haven't found better yet. Summer soupless ramen with perfectly chewy noodles and slightly spicy sauce is a great addition. The vegan ban ban kinoko as well as its chicken version are great also during summer. The maguro is delicious but I don't find it as satisfying as the noodles. Mind spiciness level for the younglings. In the winter, the spicy tantan or Tokyo ramen always hit the spot. Fish bun has been improved slightly over the years but thank ramen-sama, it is always as messy to eat as the first time I tried it 7 years ago. Desserts are surprisingly delicious. Typically Japanese ramen restaurants lack in that domain but not here. The Tokyo banana is perfectly crafted: creamy crunchy tasty. The shaved ice are great and super fun to eat. To many more years of happy reviews, and good fortune.

The tables, floors, and bathrooms were all very clean. This will be short and sweet. I ordered the Shrimp Bao. It was very good. The shrimp was crispy and tasty, but I think there should be 2 per order. One was not enough. 5/5 for taste 1/5 for quantity. I also ordered the Oh So Hot ! Miso. This consisted of pork and chicken broth, spicy ground chicken, spinach, bean sprouts, cabbage, and nori. I ordered it spicy, but I should have gotten it hot instead.

We started with the pork belly appetizer which was recommended and stated on the menu indicating it's their featured dish. It was the biggest disappointment as it was extremely fatty with large chunks of fat, while the lean portions were dry. It didn't look very appetizing. The dumplings were just okay--they had decent flavor but I was hoping for a crispier texture. I ordered the Zebra Ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, but the broth was much saltier than I would have preferred. The pat of butter felt unnecessary and made the broth overly rich without adding much depth. The chashu was on the small side and also quite fatty and I assume it's the same as the appetizer but was sliced instead of in large chunks. The marinated egg had good flavor, although the yolk was a little more cooked than I typically like. Another thing is the pork belly appetizer came with an egg. I wish the server would tell us so we didn't have to add it to our ramen with an extra charge. The nori was also completely soggy by the time it reached our table. Overall, the noodles were the only highlight of the meal and the rest were very underwhelming. It's definitely not a place I would recommend.

No complaints, except that I guess I prefer Tonkostu (pork bone) over Paitan (chicken bone). I appreciated sitting at the bar to watch the lone ramen monger stir around the next batches of broth, hand-torching some chashu; boiling, whip-drying, and gently nestling my noodles, then manually laying out the toppings. The dish feels real, personal.

This spot delivers the kind of authentic paitan that reminds you why people used to line up on cold sidewalks just for a bowl. I ordered the Paitan Ramen Deluxe, and it genuinely lives up to the name. The broth is silky, rich, and comforting without being overly salty which is exactly what a proper paitan should be. The bowl comes loaded: tender shredded chicken, seared chashu, marinated soft-boiled eggs, fresh scallions, bamboo shoots, and a sheet of nori that ties everything together. Every topping tastes intentional, not just filler. The texture balance is what really stands out fatty chashu that melts, shredded chicken with real flavor, and noodles that hold up beautifully in the broth. You can taste the care in the soup base; it has depth, not just heat or salt. If you loved Totto Ramen back in the day, this feels like its modern successor same spirit, new precision. Toribro isn't trying to reinvent ramen which they're just doing it right. And in NYC, that alone makes it worth a visit.
