Tonchin - New York

Delicious, creamy, and loaded ramen. As a party of 5 walk in/no reservation we had to wait a little over an hour for our table. It was well worth the wait. My family enjoyed the Classic Tonkutsu and my son and I loved loved the vegan ramen. The only thing I found weird was that there was no vegan protein included although the menu stated soy protein (assumed tofu) but that may have been a misunderstanding on my part. Anyways, the ramen was heaven and I’ve tried out so many ramen places (not in NYC) and this one definitely stands out in its own unique way. This is definitely on my top 5 ramen spots I’ve been to.

The restaurant doesn't offer a wide variety of vegan choices, but the vegan Ginger Ramen is absolutely delicious. I also tried the Edamame, but be sure to specify that it needs to be vegan as they typically use fish oil. Overall, it is a lovely establishment with friendly staff. However, it is quite popular, so you may need to wait or book a reservation in advance.

Perhaps I am a bit of a ramen connoisseur? I have visited many ramen restaurants. The atmosphere was upscale, the appetizer was delicious, but the ramen itself was unremarkable. While it did feature fresh ingredients, it lacked that special flavor element. There is only one vegan ramen choice available here. For a wider selection of flavorful vegan ramen, I recommend visiting Ramen Ishida in downtown instead.

Probably the best Ramen I've ever had. They earned their Michelin stars for a reason, and it shows in every single dish. The balance of each and every broth combined with the fresh ingredients keep the broth breathtakingly rich yet light. My only regret is that I could not fit another bowl in my stomach. Absolutely worth a visit and any kind of wait.

Great ramen! The broth was very flavorful and had the perfect amount of thickness not too overwhelming or oily. Shaved ice dessert was awesome as well. The service was also super attentive, one of the best I’ve experienced in the K town area! : Definitely recommend coming here Will be revisiting for sure.
