Brilliant tonkotsu stock in all the bowls. I generally go with the Classic with pork belly and extra noodles.
Everyone here is nice and the atmosphere is casual. Really awesome decor, check out the cool figurine collection. Keep an eye on the specials - they're amazing.
The dumplings are handmade to order. So tasty! And save room for dessert, which is a nice mix of sweet-savory.- NOM NOM BorisJuly 27, 2012You must try some of their amazing ramen like Kimchi Ramen (5/5 NOMs). More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com
Carsten SchmidtAugust 14, 2015If a bowl of salt with ramen on the side is what you crave this is the place for you. But if you prefer just reasonable amounts of salt in your food then avoid the ramen and stick to the dumplings
Ryan KDecember 29, 2014For the drink, Hello Kitty is pretty awesome! Red Miso Ramen is also pretty legit
Mike ChauJuly 7, 2013Try the Toki Classic Ramen - Tonkotsu broth with chashu pulled pork. With chicken Karaage add-on. Awesome.
Toki classic all the way. And do yourself a favor and get the pork belly. Thick with the fat nicely rendered.
Washington PostMarch 13, 2013Toki's kimchi ramen is a standout. It's a pork-laden, vinegary soup that's a perfect follow-up to a pile of dumplings. Read more- Mary NamestnikNovember 28, 2015Ramen is amazing and the chef moves so quickly! Try Miso Ramen and Chicken Dumplings!
Maria IribarrenSeptember 26, 2014Food is great! But you might have to wait for a while to get seated.
- Mike ChauJuly 7, 2013Try the Chocolate Chip Cookies With Red Miso Buttercream - Amazing. Made fresh to order, piping hot, with ice cold milk.
- NOM NOM BorisJuly 27, 2012Stop by for some awesome deep fried dumplings!!!! Like Pork Dumplings (5/5 NOMs). More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com
Worth the wait. Go downstairs and drink corruption on draft until they text you.
Sabrina ZahidMarch 11, 2014Kimchi ramen, add pork cheek. Spicy and delicious! I prefer mine without the pulled pork.
Alyssa GuoAugust 11, 2014While ramen is good, I really loved the chicken dan dan mian. Very well made
KαÖωWɑäηMay 19, 2016I was so excited to have a ramen here after I read a lot of good reviews. When I tried a bite, I was disappointed. It was not as good as I expected. Don't waste your time waiting in a line.
IlariaAugust 4, 2018Place is cozy but small and crowded, we could not feel the AC. Ramen was good, I had the classic one that was too spicy imho. Overall, it doesn’t worth the waiting time.
Renato SoguecoApril 30, 2011Main fare, ramen, dumplings, etc is all good but try their freshly baked cookies, either choc chip or Chinese almond. Choc chip had a hint of citrus.
NickAugust 15, 2014Kimchi and chicken curry ramen...ozeno IPA, Echigo Red, and two $3 sakes...om nom.
I'm obsessed with the steamed veggie dumplings, and the curry chicken ramen. Get it with extra noodles.- It's well worth the wait and the dumplings are must to start with.
So worth the wait, but if you cant, do take-out (a little known secret).
Karissa WarmackMay 4, 2013Toki Classic all the way! And if you are a burbn dranker you better not foget the Toki Monsterrrrrrr- NOM NOM BorisJuly 27, 2012You can never go wrong some some super nomnom pan fried Seafood Dumplings! More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com
From the special card, try the Dan Dan Mien, when it's too hot for soup.
Worth the wait! Wish they could expand their ramen bowls more though.
- When the prawn heads are available as an add-on, get them!
FiOS 50November 28, 2011Try the curry or kimchi ramen at this Taiwanese-Japanese hybrid of a noodle shop with a tiny dining room and plenty of attitude.
