“Loved everything about tonchin! This was a highlight of our trip - everything from the chicken wings to the ramen was AMAZING. All bowls we got from the tantanmen (perfectly spicy!) to the tonkotsu were top notch. Service was quick and efficient. The vibe of the place is hip and upbeat. Love this place and can't recommend it more!”
“We shared everything family style at Tonchin New York, and every dish was fantastic. It’s easy to see why this restaurant has been recognized in the Michelin Guide since 2019. For appetizers, we had the Original Tonchin Maguro, Tebasaki Curry + Cheese Wings, Gyoza, and the Unagi Rice Ball. Everything was packed with flavor and perfect for sharing. For our main course, we ordered the Tonchin Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, which was rich, comforting, and exactly what you want from a great bowl of ramen. We finished with the Kaki-Gori Mango Shaved Ice and Tokyo Banana, and honestly, the desserts stole the show. I was completely stuffed, but I couldn’t stop eating the mango shaved ice—it was so refreshing and the perfect way to end the meal. Every dish was amazing, and this is definitely a spot I’d come back to again.”
“I went to Tonchin New York and the experience was exactly the kind of combination of Japanese authenticity and modern execution that you look for in a city like New York. The ramen was, without exaggeration, the highlight – rich, well-balanced soup, with depth of flavor and ingredients cooked correctly. You can clearly feel the attention to detail and respect for the original recipe. The eel temaki was a very pleasant surprise – intense, slightly sweet, perfectly balanced. The kind of dish that looks simple but is executed at a high level. The finale was “heroic”, as any memorable meal should be: the Kakigori. An extremely well-constructed dessert – light, refreshing, but at the same time complex, with the combination of fine ice, ice cream and banana that works flawlessly. A big plus is also the location – very well positioned, close to the main tourist attractions, which makes it an ideal stop after a busy day in the city. Overall: a restaurant that delivers real quality, not just hype. Definitely worth a visit if you're in New York and want an authentic yet refined Japanese experience.”
“Awesome hole in the wall. Came across this ramen shop not knowing it was a Michelin star restaurant! Service was so friendly and the atmosphere brought me back to Japan. We got the Tonkotsu, Smoked Dashi, Mikan Aperol & ofcourse the Matcha Kakigori! Loved the meal and experience overall. Relatively short 10-20 mins wait time cause we popped in with no reservation around 4pm! Will definitely be back next time!”
“The Smokey miso noodles was SO GOOD! The dipping noodles was also excellent. Love the thick noodles. Both noodles had a nice texture and chew while the broth popped with flavor. I used to work in the offices above over 20 years ago. It would have been great to have a noodle shop here back then. This is definitely in my top 10 ramen spots in NYC. Don’t need to fly to Japan for an excellent bowl of noodles. Come here.”
