    While Tonchin's on the pricier end, they have a pretty intriguing and well-executed menu. I came in January and was so glad I made a reservation for two at 7 p.m. because it was packed by 7:30-8. The two of us split the smoked dashi ramen and the pizza ramen, which complemented each other well. The smoked dashi ramen was packed with rich, umami flavor, and I loved the clams and soft-boiled egg, but after a few bites it got pretty salty. Enter the lighter, vegetable-leaning pizza ramen, which provided great contrast. The blend of tomato sauce, tonkotsu broth, basil, and cheese worked surprisingly well together, and I was amazed that the breadsticks somehow remained crispy until the very end despite being submerged in broth. I'm constantly on the hunt for good kakigori, and the mango shaved ice was excellent. It's a massive combo of soft ice and layers of mango syrup, topped with velvety yet fluffy honey cream. It was a refreshing, not-too-sweet treat, the perfect follow-up after the ramen. I wasn't as fond of the soba panna cotta, which tasted like a rich blend of black sesame and coffee. The amount you get looks like very little, but the flavor is kinda heavy, so that makes sense. I'm glad I tried it but it was a little too much even for my savory-dessert-loving palate. Overall I enjoyed my meal, and hopefully I'll return at some point for the kakigori alone!

    Tonchin has interesting ramen flavors and great service, but dark and depressing decor and expensive prices make this an OK recommendation from me. While everything was solid, our favorite was easily the tsukemen which came with an amazing dipping sauce. The noodles were also perfectly chewy and cooked. Overall, I think it's worth a try, but I would probably not come back again.

    Homemade coke, PIZZA RAMEN, and mango shaved ice!!! This meal felt like something out of a dream, everything was so distinctly flavorful and while it was all excellent, the mango shaved ice stands out as the biggest surprise because it was so well presented and easy to share with a table (they serve chilled bowls with it to allow you to scoop into your bowl without it melting). As far as the ramen itself... also outstanding. I never would have imagined "pizza ramen" would exist in this world but it somehow does and it is DELICIOUS. Service was a bit slow but I'm not docking any points here because it's a lovely environment to eat and hang out in and it didn't bother me one bit that things took a little while. Good things come to those who wait, and if the food is gonna be this good, they can take as long as they need to as far as I'm concerned! We also ate around 7pm on a Saturday so the place was likely at its busiest.

    I didn't want to like Tonchin as much as I did. I came in with a closed mind and looking for things to dislike. To me, ramen should be affordable and tasty. But wife wanted to try...once again she's right! The decor is very romantic. It's a warm Japanese-esque interior and the mid dining area gives you the feeling of dining outside. Pretty cool. We got the classic tonkotsu and ginger miso ramen. Out of this world. The ramen was chewy enough to be fun and broth was heavy enough where you can drain the bowl without feeling too guilty. I didn't want to like the ginger miso since I was forced to have it. I don't eat pork and ginger miso was my only option. But I loved it. The service was also fast and friendly. No complaints there.
