One of the best ramens we currently have in the state of Rhode Island. It's great for takeout or dining in-delicious! I think the ratio of broth to noodles is better when you dine in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast and friendly service, small but clean interior for dine-in with outdoor seating in the warmer months.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I think the Ichiraku Ramen is my favorite but i have tried a few others... can't wait till Phed Phed opens next door to get food from both in one place! read more

I came here with my mother and sister for a girls date. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Place seemed to have a ton of fruit flies... on the wall, by our food, everywhere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My tom yum ramen was super spicy (like spicier than normal. Spicier than any tom yum I've ever had) and the waitress seemed to be closed off. She was not really talkative and took a while to get to us for orders. Also, I will say the appetizers were better than our actual meals. I hope this place could improve! read more

Tori Tomo - Brussel sprout appetizer and Tom Yum Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

This ramen spot has a neighboring Thai restaurant attached which is cool, and you can order from both menus. Ordered their tonkatsu ramen -- broth was rich but a bit heavy on the ginger flavor, miso ramen was a bit salty, and their yaki udon was delicious. Their pork belly pieces were tender and thicker than most ramen spots so that was a nice surprise. Service was decent but can't really see myself coming back. Street parking only unless you find a garage. read more

My girl and I went to the restaurant since it was close to the convention center in RI! It was just a 5-minute walk to get there! Great location! It might be hard to find parking if you're not parking at the CC. Their ramen isn't authentic (it doesn't really taste like traditional ramen). More of a contemporary fusion Japanese/American ramen. But they tasted GOOD!!!! I liked how they made these taste. My girl liked her ramen so much. Their service was great. Super friendly & deaf-friendly for sure. They forgot to remove the veggies from the ramen for my girl, but they took out the veggies after we pointed it out. Great business, but it might be worrisome for people with allergies. My girl wants to visit the restaurant again, while I am more of a neutral person on that part. read more

I've eaten at many ramen noodle restaurants. Unfortunately the ramen here is just 6.5 / 10 for me. The noodle texture was correct. But the broth was a bit watery and lacking in flavor. My husband makes better pork belly than the restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the pork belly was still good, but I've had better. Also they only give you half of an egg, which was a little stingy, considering the price of the dish. Similarly the takoyaki was 6/10. Yes, I'm spoiled from having eaten better ones in New York city. Will probably not be back the next time I'm in town. Service was ok. Granted there was only one waitress so water came out a bit late. Otherwise she was friendly. read more

I came here with a couple of coworkers to finally try this place out, and we were definitely impressed. I love the variety of Ramen broths that are available. I tried the tomato based Ramen broth, and it was just perfect. The udon noodles were everything I was looking for. My coworker had the chicken Katsu, and I was so jealous once I looked at it. Service was a little weird, but nothing we couldn't handle. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Dining room was clean and organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Currently dining here. Waiter was super sweet but they brought out the wrong cocktails and we immediately told them it was the wrong drink, they said we have to pay for the wrong drinks and could order and pay for the drinks we originally ordered too. So now we have to pay fo 3 cocktails we never ordered. *update: we further discussed with manager and they asked us detailed questions and we assured them we all ordered the same drink and no one ordered the random 3 drinks they brought us. So they then decided not to charge us for the three drinks we didn't order. Such an uncomfortable experience. Thankfully didn't order food yet we we are going to pay the bill and just leave read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Tori Tomo is a hole in the wall Japanese eatery located in downtown Providence. It's casual and decorated with popular Japanese animated movies and anime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a few tables for large groups on one side and tables for two on the other side.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu has a large focus on ramen. They have vegan and vegetarian options, as well as gluten free noodles. Other than ramen, they also serve donburi (rice bowls), katsu sandwiches, and your typical appetizers like edamame, gyoza, and karaage. They even sell liquor! I don't know too many casual ramen spots that serve sake cocktails, wine, and Japanese beer. We ordered the Szechuan wontons ($9 for 6 pieces), Tom Yum Ramen ($16), and Miso Ramen ($16). The wontons were filled with shrimp and pork. They were topped with Szechuan sauce, corn, spinach, shiitake, and beansprouts. This app was average tasting. The filling wasn't very flavorful. The spicy sauce overpowered most of the other ingredients. As for the ramen bowls, the portion sizes were more than enough. All bowls come with half of a soft boiled egg, spinach, bean sprouts, scallions, spice and sesame seeds. Protein choices include chicken, pork belly, beef, or shrimp. The broth for the Tom Yum ramen was very good and tasted exactly like the classic Thai soup. It packed a lot of heat, spice, and tang. There were notes of mushroom, caramelized onion, lemongrass, Thai chili, cilantro, and lime. The broth for the Miso ramen was savory and umami - but it wasn't as rich or deep as it should have been. The pork belly was tender, but needed more seasoning or longer marination time. I'm disappointed with the noodles. They looked and tasted like they came from the cheap Instant Ramen packages. Service was great throughout the meal. Our server was attentive and friendly, refilling our waters right away when we were dying of spice lol I don't think the ramen here is anything to brag about, but it's certainly enough to satisfy your craving for a reasonable price. read more

Tori tomo has a good variety of asian foods! I ended up ordering the ichiraku ramen since I was craving it and I usually get tonkotsu ramen. I was satisfied with my meal, but it tasted more like a miso or soy sauce based broth rather than the usual creamy tonkotsu. The pork was also a bit dry. The server was sweet to give me a new egg when I dropped mine though! read more

Tori Tomo - Ramen Near Me - Providence, Rhode Island

I love ramen. Ever since my Los Angeles days I have been on the hunt to get my fill of the perfect bowl. I'm a man of habit and when I find something I like I stick to that- I simply love their Ichiraku ramen. Since Ganko (on Thayer) and Ken's (now Tori Tomo) closed down, I have been looking for something to fill my ramen cravings. This does the trick and does not disappoint. Definitely worth a try. Fast service, small inside with nice decor and limited outdoor seating in the heart of Downtown Providence. I often get takeout and would recommend. read more

We haven't been to Tori Tomo in a while, but still had fond memories of this place so when we had a ramen craving, we immediately decided it was time to stop in again! We dined in over the summer (sorry i'm late to my reviews this year) and it just didn't hit the way it used to. We ordered the pork belly baos to start. and when they came out, there was an egg on each one. My fiance and i were confused cause we don't remember an egg being included the last time we were here, although that was quite some time ago, we thought maybe they changed the ingredients in this item to include it. Ramen was okay, was luke warm. We got the bill and they charged an extra 2$ to add the egg on the pork belly baos that we DID NOT ASK FOR nor were we asked if we wanted to add it. We ordered pork belly buns assuming it was just that. Yes it's only 2$ but to sneakily do that without asking or informing the customer just doesn't sit right. Very disappointing meal, and likely will not return. read more

I visited Tori Tomo to grab a quick lunch - I was immediately seated and it got progressively busier as I was dining in. A good sign. For an appetizer, I ordered the Wonton Szechuan, which was DELICIOUS! Super flavorful and filling. Absolutely loved it. For ramen, I ordered the Ichiraku ramen. I thought it was fine. Broth was fine. Plentiful of ingredients that paired well. It just wasn't my favorite. If I were to come back, I will try another ramen dish. I would also try the other appetizers and their alcohol specials as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Although the location is small, it is still worth checking out for some ramen in the city.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I have to be honest, we only ended up here because the restaurant next door had an hour wait. However, I am glad we had dinner here as the food was delicious and service was so prompt. We had the ramen and the pho poutine, the latter was a special for the day. Both were really good, especially the ramen. The cocktails were also good and reasonably priced. We were able to get in and out within 45 min, perfect since we were exhausted from a full day of traveling and glad to get some good quick food in order to call it a day. read more

As I sit here thinking of what to write, the words "good stuff" come to mind. There is nothing mind-blowing about Tori Tomo, but at the same time, I don't have any complaints. I ordered the pork belly bun and the miso ramen. Decided to keep it simple today. The pork belly bun was likable with great savory-salty flavors, but a little sauce would have been welcome. The meat was tenderish but did not melt in your mouth. I also liked the pickles that added crispness and acid and would have loved some more. Also, a quick note: I ordered these with the tea egg (there is an option without), and while great on its own, together with the bao, it seems extra and unnecessary. The ramen was similarly solid and had a very flavorful broth with a pleasant texture. The noodles were great, and the pork belly pieces within were very tender and did melt in your mouth. While I would not have minded a bit of extra protein (who does?), it was well-balanced. It had a fair amount of vegetables in the form of bean sprouts and very flavorful mushrooms. The broth's heartiness made me forget that more pork would've been welcome. As for the service, I found it to be attentive and speedy. The location, meanwhile, is small but inviting and trendy (goodness, I hope I'm using this word right). While I may not return to Rhody for this place, do take notice of Tori Tomo if you're nearby looking for a solid bowl of Ramen at a reasonable price. read more

This was my second time at Tori Tomo. Located right in dowcity, they have options to sit inside or outside. There is a huge anime drawing on the wall when you walk in. I had the Pretty Pineapple cocktail which has diamond sake, hibiscus tea, pineapple juice honey, rose prosecco. It was very refreshing. We shared the curry croquettes that we saw on the specials blackboard. This had really good flavor. Other apps that I had before was the wonton Szechuan and that was pretty good too. I had the Gyu Don donburi (rice bowl) which is thinly sliced sirloin beef, organic mushroom medley, caramelized onions, broccoli, sweet soy and brown butter for $14. I felt like the portion was a little small, but it was filling. This was delicious and enjoyed every single bite. My husband had the ichiraku ramen which is pork tonkotsu broth, pork belly, shitake, narutomaki for $15. He enjoyed it as well. Though there was only 1 hostess/server, service was great. The wait for food wasn't too long and we were seated right away when we came. read more

Ichiraku Ramen - The pork tonkatsu broth was flavorful, a bit salty but that's a typically ramen broth lol The pork belly was tender and good amount of shitake mushrooms. Tomato Ramen - Great tomato broth and absolutely loved the organic mushroom tempura! Also loved how they used FRESH corn instead of canned corn. There was lots of tofu and vegetables! read more

This is one of my go-to spots for a quick bite when I'm in Providence. Specializing in Ramen, they don't have a ton of options but the options they have are great. I always get the edamame and a bowl of ramen here. Reasonably priced and quick on getting food out even when it's packed, the only downside with this restaurant is that it can be tough to get a table because seating is limited. I usually try to go right before or right after the diner rush and haven't ever had to wait very long. read more

A large group of us came less than an hour before closing but the staff were still accommodating and provided great service. My partner and I ordered the pork belly buns (with eggs), and I ordered the miso ramen and he ordered the ichiraku ramen. The pork belly buns tasted better than they looked and I enjoyed the pork belly flavor. The pork belly fell apart easily too. The miso broth was better flavorful than the ichiraku in my opinion. The noodles were ok. Decent ramen, but it seems like good ramen for the area. We also got a yuzu lager which was good and I recommend. They also have a few unique ramens like tom yum, mapo tofu and tomato. Service was great and both staff members were very attentive. There was a mix-up on a food order, but they did their best to fix it. The restaurant itself is clean and well decorated. There is indoor and some outdoor seating. Inside is small and there are two large tables (fits 8 people) so it can be difficult to fit a large group. read more

I'm sold. I stopped by for lunch to satisfy a ramen craving when I was too lazy to walk a bit further and uphill to another ramen spot I had previously tried. I'm so glad I did! Not only is it a cozy and cute spot, but the menu is quite dynamic, and the food I tried so far was excellent! I opted for the miso ramen and it was absolutely delicious. I'm pretty particular about my pork belly too, and I found it was a perfectly melt-in-your-mouth texture and I would happily order this dish again in the future. I found many other menu items appealing as well, and I definitely plan to come back to try more of the menu, although I'm pretty sure I will be tempted to just keep ordering the same ramen I so enjoyed at today's lunch. read more
