I picked up Chicken Ramen from this place tonight. I don't typically eat this kind of food but I had a craving for something hearty. It had great flavor and the portion was perfect. I'd go back! read more

Tori Ramen & Chicken - Chicken Ramen - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

Tori Ramen has been on my bookmarked list for a while, so decided to go try it out this weekend. Came here on a day where they were having a town event, so had a lot of trouble finding parking. I think that during the week or on another weekend parking wouldn't be that difficult to find. When you enter, you see the cool art on the walls, and there are multiple booths and tables to sit at. I ordered the chicken ramen and my friend ordered the curry rice dish. Our food was brought out quick. Server was nice. I didn't try the curry so I can't comment on that, but the ramen was pretty average for me. The chicken was dry, but the broth was warm and flavorful. Not sure if I would get ramen here again but open to trying other things on the menu. read more

Cute town with lots of options and things to try. Parking is def on a tricky side but there is a big parking area a few blocks away. Def suggest coming early before the dinner rush to get a spot. With that being said, I LOVE Tori Ramen! The workers are super friendly and quick to refill water and send out our dishes. The wings are to die for! Jammed packed with flavor! There's also boneless wings for those not a fan of the bones (which ya are nuts haha) The ramen broth is thick and flavorful, I tried a rice dish this time and it did not disappoint one bit. Only thing missing was spice but that's my preference and I'm sure I could have asked for hot sauce. BTW It's a BYOB so grab a bottle of soju and sip on some ramen and enjoy! read more

Upon returning after a long time, the food is comforting and delicious, reasonably priced in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend if you want deliciously crisp katsu and lovely char siu, or a steaming bowl of ramen... read more

We wanted a quick lunch and saw this restaurant on yelp. The ramens were very good and flavorful, with the tonkotsu broth being on the peppery side. The soy garlic wings were crunchy and flavor was not too over powering. The service was efficient, and the staff are friendly. It's a nice restaurant with a decent amount of seating. The prices are great so we will definitely be returning. read more

With a real craving for ramen, my boyfriend and I landed in Tori ramen last night. It's a nice smaller restaurant and since it was a Saturday night it was very busy but we got seated right away. Once I saw they had bao on the menu I got two to try - the chicken katsu and the spicy kani. Both delicious and very well portioned. The chicken katsu was flavorful and perfectly crispy. My boyfriend got the udon stir fry with spicy pork which was delicious. It came with some rice cakes as well and veggies. I would actually get this dish over the ramen here - very well seasoned super flavorful. I got the fish and rice cake ramen with added veggies. It was good but a little bland - I was hoping for some chili oil or something to add to the broth. I mean don't get me wrong, I finished it but just wish there was a little more kick to the broth. Overall this is a great place for some excellent bao and noodle dishes. My boyfriend also tried the soy garlic wings and loved them. There was a huge crunch in every bite. Don't sleep on the wings and the bao here. read more

Great apps and food. Service was good and attentive. The ramen bowls had great flavor and depth of flavor. Highly recommend

I come here once a while but I craved their ramen when I was pregnant. They're the only place that offers rice noodles locally to where I live. I'm gluten intolerant and this gives me options to enjoy with my family so I really appreciate it. Nice little place with some great options. read more

Lots of good things about Tori Ramen and Chicken. First off the staff, they're numerous, friendly, and efficient. Their pricing is a deal and so they probably rely on turning around the tables very quickly. Be prepared to know what you want a minute or two after being seated! Space itself is small but they make it work. The food was pretty good considering costs. I wish the broth was less salty. Might depend on the day. The chicken was a tad salty too. They give you an option between sweet & sour or soy garlic... considering it's salty already go with the sweet and sour. I'd come back! read more

everytime we come here we always get the takoyaki. they really do have one of the best - texture, flavor, execution and portion! every single ball always has a nice chunk of octopus and we love it! they are also known for their ramen. So far their kimchi ramen and tonkotsu stood out for us in flavor and was enjoyable to eat. Their pork katsu is pretty good as well - Meaty and crunchy! recently ive tried their spicy pork bowl and it was also delicious! i love that the spice level is tolerable and it has that hint of sweetness in the pork. This is one of those go-to spots in Ridgewood so it can get busy and crowded - hopefully you'd be willing to wait and enjoy the meal like we did read more

We love it there,delicious,friendly service.we go there almost every week.it has reasonable prices too

Solid ramen and food, but busy, busy during dinner (WHICH IS A GOOD SIGN)! Since we're a family of 4, we typically try to go to dinner a bit earlier than "normal" people so that we can get our kids home earlier so we dropped in at 6pm on a very, very warm and sunny Friday Spring day. Honestly, 6pm is later than our usual dinner time, but we didn't expect the crowd that we saw at this local restaurant already chowing down. Almost all of the tables were occupied and, not shockingly, most customers were families with kids, so they had the same idea as we had. Anyhow, the restaurant is average-sized, but tight. The menu was pretty much typical of a classic ramen restaurant - ramens, Japanese-style appetizers and small rice bowls. With the ramens, there were quite a few to choose from, but, more surprisingly, they were VERY, VERY reasonably priced at around $12-13. We ended up ordering: - TAKOYAKI - PORK BUNS 2 Pcs - MEDIUM TENDERS - MISO RAMEN - Miso broth with slices of pork, egg, corn, tofu, rice cake and scallions. - KATSU RAMEN - Chicken and pork broth with breaded pork cutlet, egg and scallio First, the appetizers. EXCELLENT! Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Takoyaki as I never liked the Takoyaki sauce that is brushed on, but Tori might make the best Takoyaki I ever tried! The flavor of the sauce wasn't super strong, but the Takoyaki was still very tasty. Also, the pork buns were spot on. The pork was juicy, flavorful and easily was much larger than the buns themselves. As for the ramen, they were solid like I said earlier. Not close to the best ramen I ever had, but it still filled us up. Yes, the broth was good, but if it wasn't for the broth, I could have mistaken it for instant ramen. Something about the way the ramen looked just reminded me of the ramen we all know and love when we make it at home. Nevertheless, it was OK as the flavors were decent, just something about the look of the ramen. AND, can't forget those medium tenders. NOW, this surprised me. Yes, they're just tenders, but they came out crispy, hot and they came with a soy garlic dipping sauce. Give me this ALL DAY LONG and I'd be good. Even though this was for my son, I loved it, loved it, loved it. Simple perfection. The service was good and friendly throughout. The food did come out unusually very fast though, which can be good and bad. And, be prepared to wait if you arrive at 6:30pm or later on a weekend. Turnover is fairly high, but this place is POPPIN' amongst the locals. Also, parking can be tough during prime times as they only have street parking. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! We went on a rainy evening, which turned out to be the perfect weather for enjoying a comforting bowl of ramen. I ordered the miso ramen and was delighted to find it filled with tender tofu and chewy rice cakes. We also tried the spicy and sweet chicken wings, which were incredibly flavorful, and the pork buns, generously stuffed with a hearty amount of pork. The staff were kind and attentive, making the experience even better. Plus, the restaurant itself is charming, cozy, and spotless. Highly recommend! read more

I went here for a late lunch. Busy place but not overwhelming or a long wait. I got the spicy seafood ramen which was tasty and actually a pretty decent spice level.

Tori Ramen & Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

I've recently become obsessed with ramen, and I am going to different restaurants to try to find my favorite ramen place. This was truthfully one of the worst dining experiences my boyfriend and I have ever had. First off, the waitress asked us to wait outside for our table until it was ready (which was fine) but she proceeded to slam on the glass to get our attention when the table was ready. It was a little rude. We barely sat down and she came by and forcefully asked if we were ready to order. It was overwhelming. They only half-filled our water glasses every time which was really weird also. The only saving grace was the Pork Katsu Bao Buns and my boyfriend's Chicken Katsu meal because they actually tasted good. My boyfriend however waited for a while for his meal (I was almost finished with mine by the time he got his). It was awkward. The ramen I got was the worst ramen I've ever had. It tasted like seafood with no spices or no other flavors. I expected the broth to at least have some other flavor to balance out the seafood. The seafood was also rubbery. Even the onions in my ramen weren't flavorful. I do not recommend ordering the Seafood Ramen. Needless to say, we'll never go back again. read more

I've heard of this place but never took it upon myself to go. That was until I was visiting a friend about 20 minutes out and wanted to bring an appetizer. I came in around 4:30pm on a Saturday and it was pretty crowded. That speaks great things about the food ! I was only ordering to-go. The lady at the front was really friendly! I got the Spicy wings. They were packed nicely with a thank you sticker and one part of the box left open to aerate so that they don't get soggy on the way out. Smart! The wings were super yummy and flavorful, though I'm not sure if my spice tolerance went up? They weren't as spicy as expected. Next time I go when I'm in the area, I'll definitely want to try dining in the restaurant and if I get another order of the wings, I'll make a special request to make them extra spicy ;) read more

A tasty and busy ramen spot with friendly service They have a good variety of ramen including to tonkatsu, miso and vegetarian, as well as katsu rice dishes and other miscellaneous items. The miso ramen was flavorful, with pork, corn, scallions, a half egg. Not huge, huge portions but definitely enough. The chicken katsu was pretty good but probably could have used more interest on the plate (had a salad and rice and a half egg). The octopus balls were a treat; each ball had a few pieces of octopus in it. They did run out of a few things like shumai and snapper katsu, which was a little disappointing. There were plenty of customers rolling in for sit down and takeout but the service was pretty fast. Service was friendly and responsive which helps to turn over the tables. read more

Tori Ramen & Chicken - Chicken ramen one with rice cakes, the other with spicy broth - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

A very pretty restaurant located at main dining area of Ridgewood. They provide both indoor and outdoor seating. We started of with Spicy Kanin(crab) & Chicken buns and Takoyaki. Buns were good, but was little sad to see it only came with lettuce protein and the buns. Adding some sort of sauce would have made a positive impact on the taste. Takoyaki was excellent, creamy with loads of Octopus. We tried the Curry Ramen with chicken katsu and Donkatsu Ramen. Chicken katsu tasted delicious with curry ramen soup, but the curry ramen had very overwhelming taste. Next time I'd go with the chicken ramen. The pork in Donkatsu could have been more tender. At the end of ours meal, we got try some complementary spicy wings. I loved the crispiness and spicy level of the wings. Overall a nice soulful place to enjoy some good ramen and wings. read more

Pretty descent middle of the ground ramen. I got the tonkotsu ramen and my friend got the kimchi ramen. The bowl was well portioned and I thought the ginger was a very nice touch to cut through the saltiness of the broth. My reason for the lower review has more to due with the service. While I understand the space is small and there's a higher need to turn tables quickly, it was a bit off putting when the check was put down on table as soon as we received our ramen bowls. To make things worse, several of the servers kept hovering over throughout our meal waiting for us to put our card down to pay. We weren't even half way done with our meal and I decided to put my card down. It was immediately taken by the server. Once we paid, there was still more hovering happening. It made me so uncomfortable that I left my bowl half unfinished. read more

Tori Ramen & Chicken - Chicken Wings Near Me - Ridgewood, New Jersey

This meal was very tasty. We ordered a variety of appetizers to try a little bit of everything. We all enjoyed everything. My kids love noodles, but one of them only likes it plain and was pleased to know they were able to make it plain with just the noodles. She absolutely loved it! The wings were sooooo delicious! I was so impressed with the little finger gadget they supplied you with so you did not need to get your fingers dirty; it was so cool. The only downfall to is it that it clearly doesn't block the heat from the wings so be careful you don't burn your fingers. The staff was very nice and patiences with us & our kids. Will most definitely be going again! read more

Ehhh, it could've been better. Food was good, the place was clean. One thing I DID NOT like at all was the service. Waiters were okay, but the owner said to everyone "goodbye" and," have a nice night", BUT me. I looked at her a few times and she said nothing. I wouldn't come back. read more

I have never been disappointed when I came here. Vegan friendly ramen and a long list of ramen "add-ons". The idea of "create your own meal" has become increasingly popular these days. When you come to Tori Ramen, you can choose exactly what you want in your ramen, and you can rest assured knowing that each individual ingredient is fresh! For our appetizer, we tried the shrimp shumai. This was the first time we tried these and they were phenomenal! Sweet deal: If you pay with cash, you get a free mochi! Yum! read more

A decent ramen joint in my old stomping grounds, Tori Ramen has all the markings of a place that's trying hard and mostly succeeds in bringing a new dining option to the great suburbs of west Bergen county. My 8-yr old son and I stopped by recently after starving from a day's intense play activities, and we ordered Kids ramen w/ beef ($6.50), a side of tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet, $3.50), and a large tonkotsu ramen ($10.50). Service was attentive - the Korean gentleman who took our order answered my questions and made it possible for me to order the kids ramen (not on menu) since my son can't finish an adult-sized ramen. A pleasant lady refilled our glass of water frequently so we never had to wait too long. Food was less impressive: Broth, the most important part of ramen, was ... unremarkable. It wasn't very deep though it wasn't terribly greasy or too light. It was just "acceptable." Noodles, the second-most important part, were slightly overcooked and quantity was lacking. My son finished his bowl and kept stealing mine (lol)... I guess it wasn't enough. Topping were good, though the side of tonkatsu was disappointing. It was pretty lightly fried and was soft, not crunchy on the bite. Its flavor was also bland with no hints of marinating. Thankfully, the price was fair for being in the heart of an affluent town. Our check came out to $24 including tip. Space is clean, nice, and inviting - a kind of lunch place you'd want to go with your friends on a Saturday afternoon. Owner lady also was pleasant and walked around with a smile to tend to any needs. Overall, I am glad they're here, and I think they'd do well catering to the suburban clientele that frankly, may not be looking for a "top-notch" ramen experience but "a" ramen experience. But in order to stay competitive with eyes for future (i.e. competitor ramen joints springing up nearby), I'd recommend them to study ramen and improve on their namesake offering, even if they have to charge slightly more because Ridgewood patrons are there because they can and will pay more for great food. Until then, 3 stars for encouragement. read more

Solid ramen establishment nestled in downtown Ridgewood. You can choose from a variety of ramen, from miso to tonkatsu to soy, along with a whole slew of different toppings. Personally, I really like the tonkatsu and spicy miso. Aside from ramen, they also have Korean style fried chicken and rice dishes. The restaurant is clean and modern. The staff is friendly and service is relatively quick. read more

Hmm.. Great reviews... the only jam packed restaurant on a Tuesday night... but the food and service.. Not too good. We waited over 65 for our ramen and buns. Thought something was seriously wrong but the other tables were waiting as long too.. complaining. Should have been a fast meal, but it was an overly loud/crowded almost 2 hour dinner. The ramen was okay but lacked real flavor. Just too mild for me. The noodles were cooked perfectly and were good. The curry rice dish was not at all the curry we used to have in the city -- Not quite sure what this was... The place was so crazy we may have been given the wrong dish. But didn't bother to ask. Whatever it was, it was bad. The pork buns-- not too great. Popular place, very fair prices, perhaps just a very off night. read more

Hungover post celebrating a wedding, I was looking for some authentic ramen to soothe and feed my soul. This ramen place which is in a busy area of Ridgewood is nearly impossible find parking for on a weekend evening. My sister and I came here on a Friday night and parking was a real pain. In addition, we were forced to wait to be shown to our seat. There are quite a few number of hands here that serve you and the younger female waitress we had looked like she was really moody and did not give us a welcoming vibe whatsoever. We started off ordering some chicken wings (sweet and hot) which is pretty much their version of the Korean yang yum chicken. The chicken was hot and fresh and the sauce was really tasty. The price of each chicken wing however was around $1 a piece which is pretty expensive in my book. My sister ordered the tonkatsu ramen and I ordered the miso ramen as I often do at Japanese ramen restaurants. Keep in mind this place does not try to fool anybody by saying they are Japanese and really try to embrace being Korean by serving up the very popular and famous Korean fried chicken in their dishes. My sister's tonkatsu ramen was pretty standard, it wasn't abundantly topped with toppings and had a super strong ginger flavor that permeated throughout the entire soup. If you like ginger - this is your broth, if you're not crazy about pickled ginger, the tonkatsu broth is not the traditional milky/ thick broth you're used to. Now onto my ramen - as soon as my ramen came out - I was pretty shocked. It looked so unappealing to me. It literally looked like somebody took miso soup (not even a broth) mind you and dumped noodles in there and topped it off with cubes of tofu and frozen corn. Was so disappointed!! This ramen's only saving grace was that the noodles weren't over cooked and they put a good amount of pork into my soup but beside that I felt like I made a real mistake ordering this dish. Overall, I feel like coming here was a mistake for the amount of effort I put into finding parking and curbing my hangover fix. Next time, I'll go to a place like ani ramen where I know what I'm getting even if it is farther out of the way. read more
