gmarco .February 19, 2015The ramen is amazing and extremely comforting in winter after a broadway show :)
Angela DanilaNovember 22, 2013Extra spicy ramen is soooo good! and i just realized their playlist is also really cool. good job japanese :-)
Raj S.October 5, 2011Absolutely incredible. Small place, but great food. Grab the extra spicy ramen. Not for the fainthearted. A little expensive, but well worth it.- Burrito BoomerOctober 17, 2013Ramens pretty good. Beware: there's almost always a 20 to 45 min wait at any given time. And sit at the counter! It's crazy watching them make it
Lorgio JimenezJune 16, 2013Always at least an hour wait..but vahella isn't far away for a drink. The ramen is probably the best in the city.
Michael NicastroMay 10, 2012Life changing ramen experience! The broth was delicious! This place is small and gets busy, but worth the wait. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Try to get a seat at the bar - the chefs are super friendly and talkative. Ask them what's inside the secret white pouch.
Anton SlyusarFebruary 12, 2016It's smaller than you think :) There is no interior, you sit right in front of the kitchen ovelooking the process, etc. The ramen is good.
Noah MAugust 15, 2011Amazing ramen spot in Hell's Kitchen. This place is the real deal. Tiny space + high demand = expect to wait outside for a while.
Katy FiveApril 7, 2011This is my favorite ramen, added corn this time and loved it! Definitely worth the wait! Remember it's cash only and you can't get anything to go.
EchoDAMarch 7, 2012The place is tiny, but it's absolutely worth the wait! Eating at the bar in front of the chefs is great, and ramen is delicious!
Amaury TouchyourTrililiJune 17, 2017Great ramen. Expect to wait outside cause pretty long line in the weekend. Cash only.
Margarita KrupOctober 7, 2014The ramen!! Add the spicy sauce for some extra kick. Get the spicy ramen with an egg.
Kathy MatthiesenNovember 17, 2017What's the difference between this location and 51st street Totto? This one serves pork based broth, while the 51st street location is chicken based broth
MaryDecember 4, 2012Brush up on your Japanese and bring your appetite! The ramen is amazing but don't forget about the awesome pork buns.
jon nguyenMay 20, 2013Try the Char Siu Mayo Don - torched pork belly with mayo over rice...proper fat kid way to start off this awesome lunch
Mario de matosDecember 12, 2015Among the top 3 places for Ramen in the city and they open until late
Zac SniderOctober 6, 2014They were playing slipknot, so that's kind of cool I guess. The ramen was good, I'm not sure it lived up to the reputation though.
Mandar MDecember 3, 2013Dance to Japanese pop music as you blow your nose and chomp down that extra spicy ramen :) yum yum dance .. Domo arigato !
Make sure to try the Uni Don or a Char Siu Mayo Don otherwise the Spicy Totto Ramen is my favorite, especially on a chilly night.
Rob KischukDecember 17, 2014Very good spicy ramen, but I have to imagine the 2 other locations nearby have a shorter wait
Rie KuzumotoJune 24, 2012Their original chicken broth was very good. Lively and friendly. Inexpensive.
Francis UdlerApril 23, 2013The wait is 200% worth it. Ramen was delicious and that broth is so flavorful. Now i get that crazy line
Don't let the crowd outside intimidate you; the place has a system. They manage the wait beautifully.
Kartik DasJune 7, 2013The totto spicy ramen with pork was really good, could be spicier, but definitely full of flavor!
DKNLMay 27, 2013Average not worth the 2 hr wait. Just ate here with my partner. We had the mega ramen & miso ramen with various toppings. Ramen Misoya is just as good & Ippudo definitely has better ramen.
The place is tiny, so don't go in large groups (2-4 people is ideal). There's almost always a wait time of 30 minutes or more, but it's so totally worth it.
Julius TarngMarch 30, 2013Put your name down and go around the corner to kahve. One column of names takes approx 30 min on Saturday afternoon- jon nguyenMay 20, 2013Try the Seared Sea Urchin - UNIIIIII....nuff said...all i need to wash down that bowl of delicious ramen
ドーラMarch 7, 2011Needless to say, one of the best places in Midtown to get yummylicious ramen!If you haven't been here, you don't know how tasty ramen can be.
Chicken Paitan Ramen w/pork + spicy bamboo shoots + boiled egg + Sapporo. Perfection. And worth the wait.
