Toki classic all the way. And do yourself a favor and get the pork belly. Thick with the fat nicely rendered.
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
The dumplings are handmade to order. So tasty! And save room for dessert, which is a nice mix of sweet-savory.
Washington PostFebruary 13, 2014How long is the wait? An hour or less during the week, but up to three hours during the weekend peak. You will receive a text message when your spot is ready. Read more
Maria IribarrenSeptember 26, 2014Food is great! But you might have to wait for a while to get seated.
Mike ChauJuly 7, 2013Try the Toki Classic Ramen - Tonkotsu broth with chashu pulled pork. With chicken Karaage add-on. Awesome.- 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!
- Mike ChauJuly 7, 2013Try the Chocolate Chip Cookies With Red Miso Buttercream - Amazing. Made fresh to order, piping hot, with ice cold milk.
Sabrina ZahidMarch 11, 2014Kimchi ramen, add pork cheek. Spicy and delicious! I prefer mine without the pulled pork.
Ryan KDecember 29, 2014For the drink, Hello Kitty is pretty awesome! Red Miso Ramen is also pretty legit
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.
Alyssa GuoAugust 11, 2014While ramen is good, I really loved the chicken dan dan mian. Very well made
Worth the wait. Go downstairs and drink corruption on draft until they text you.
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.
I'm obsessed with the steamed veggie dumplings, and the curry chicken ramen. Get it with extra noodles.
From the special card, try the Dan Dan Mien, when it's too hot for soup.
So worth the wait, but if you cant, do take-out (a little known secret).- It's well worth the wait and the dumplings are must to start with.
- NOM NOM BorisJuly 27, 2012Stop by for some awesome deep fried dumplings!!!! Like Pork Dumplings (5/5 NOMs). More tips & pics @ nomnomboris.com
- 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.
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

The cookies and milk desert is so amazing, you'll call the waitress mom and ask her to tuck you in.
NickAugust 15, 2014Kimchi and chicken curry ramen...ozeno IPA, Echigo Red, and two $3 sakes...om nom.- My favorite is the miso ramen. And get the soft-poached egg to top it!
Worth the wait! Wish they could expand their ramen bowls more though.
Aman CAugust 9, 2014I really wasn't blown away. The service was mediocre. The food was pretty bad. For some reason the broth seemed soapy. I had the classic and it was neither spicy nor flavorful.
WEI WEIFebruary 23, 2018Had Red Miso. Soup tasty but a bit too heavy; noodle not bad; egg very undercooked...
