Andrew Lam: Awesome ramen (topped with pork belly, pork shoulder and poached egg) and succulent pork buns, which you can still get Fri-Sat from midnight-2am if you come down with the late-night munchies.
Emma W: Fantastic ramen. Top quality. Very popular so there can be a long wait for a table.
Amber: Good ramen, great pork buns. Really great pork buns.

Barton Smith: Solid competitor to Ippudo with a wide variety of broths to choose from. Tonkotsu ramen was great with fatty, tasty chasu, as was the chicken karage appetizer.
Kendra Borowski: Delicious ramen and really friendly service. Try the ginger or yuzu shoyu. Also those cucumbers are intensely flavorful. It's pretty busy and the tables turn quickly
Joe Kiley: The ramen lunch special is an awesome deal. Spicy miso was the way to go

Tushar Khandelwal: Their ramen is to die for. Try the Tonkotsu basic! =)
Matt Duckor: Yes, Ippudo is my top pick for ramen but this is a great neighborhood alternative. Plus, the spicy miso ramen can't be beat.
Nicole Stroot: Pork ramen is excellent- the gyoza are perfectly cooked

Hsini: The Kyoto ramen is so good with a mix of fish broth and chicken broth! Try a cocktail or three...there is no holding back of alcohol in the cocktails!
Kay Brock: Love the ramen, but the drinks are the star of the show. I love the Pineapple and the Pisco Sour.
Gabriel M.: Creative cocktails and delicious ramen, a fun combination. The place is tiny and has a strong oyster smell, but it's definitely worth a visit.

Charles Guerrero: I'm so glad this is now closer to work. This location has great soba and donburi, if for some reason you don't want the excellent ramen. The kakuni ramen with Filipino style pork is amazing.
Amanda Williams: Excellent Ramen with Miso being my favorite! The pork buns are the best starter and they also have a great sweet katsu curry.
Charlotte Chan: Ramen is obviously awesome but the mushroom and burdock appetizers are delightful!

Nicole Aptekar: The veggie ramen is delicious! Comes with a roasted tomato, which is pretty surprising.
Quan Nguyen: They text you if there's a wait, so nearby bars are great options. The shio, shoyu, and spicy chilli, ramens are great. Solid broth and noodles in all of them.
Sam Logan: This place is definilty worth a visit. Great traditional ramen AND interesting "American" ramen dishes. The fried chicken is bonkers good. Funky, hip decorations too.

Belle Huang: One of my favorite ramen spots in the city. The spicy ramen is where it's at. Make sure to add the seasoned boiled egg and get the pork buns.
Noah M: This place is a godsend for HK. I'll go on record and say Totto does some of the best ramen in the city, in the traditional sit-at-the-bar, slurp-it-down style. Miso and paitan ramens both rock hard
Kasey Ma: THIS PLACE. Best ramen in the city. Better than Momofuku and Ipuddo. Their spicy miso ramen is bomb & so is their homemade spicy chili sauce. Pay the the extra $1 for it.

What's Good Here: If you're interested in a lot of meat, get the Mega Ramen - its topped w/ a variety of char siu pork, garlic, onion, bean sprouts & scallions in a chicken broth. A lot of pork!
Casey H: Their spicy veggie ramen has one of the best vegetarian broths around (& I've tried a bunch).
Delon: Great spicy ramen options. Really nice and well done!

Leo Sumulong: While their house specialty is beef ramen, the other types are pretty great too. Probably the best ramen in the UES, whether you eat it there or get it delivered. Check out the seasonal specials.
Jason Pickens: Curry soy ramen is delicious. Definitely give it a try.
Erin Mclaughlin: Chicken bun, special Ramen, fried pork Japanese curry!
