Comment: Very cool natural wine bar with fantastic food. Ramen is excellent, noodles are cooked perfectly with the perfect chew, broth is rich umami. Mini ramen is the perfect size. Interesting cocktail list. Chill vibes. High tops for two are available for walk-ins. Highly recommend!

Comment: On this cold winter day I was in quite a quandary about whether to go for pizza or ramen. Walking through Williamsburg I tried going to LEO on Havemeyer Street but found it to be crowded. Unable to get pizza I decided to head for Tonchin since I found their food and service to be impressive at their Midtown Manhattan location.Upon scanning their menu I saw that they had a pizza ramen made in collaboration with the very pizzeria I tried to go to. The ramen had a thinner broth than the spicy Tan tan ramen I had but the it was flavorful.The tea and appetizer was just as good.Im grateful that I was able mollify my craving for pizza and ramen simultaneously.

Comment: Had a wonderful dining experience at this ramen place! We didn’t have reservations but managed to get seated immediately upon their 5:30 opening, avoiding any wait despite a growing line.The menu was a treasure trove, starting with oysters. We tried both types offered, with the non-Island Creek variety standing out for its sweeter, meatier taste, enhanced by a delightful yuzu umami vinaigrette.The wagyu carpaccio (coulotte) was okay, though it made me realize that thinly sliced raw beef isn’t really my thing. The curry+cheese wings, on the other hand, were a hit – perfectly flavored without being too intense.The grilled hamachi was as expected, but the ramen selections were where this place truly shined. We had the Tonchin Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, the Smoked Dashi Ramen with its unique smokiness, and the Spicy Goma Tsukemen, which was mildly spicy. The texture of their ramen noodles was exceptional – curly and springy, just how good ramen should be!We wrapped up with the Tokyo Banana dessert, an amazing treat that wasn’t overly sweet and reminded me of the authentic Tokyo Banana snack.The service was fast and efficient, making our dining experience smooth and enjoyable. While not everything was to my personal taste, the overall quality and variety of the dishes were impressive. A must-visit for ramen lovers and those looking for a taste of Japanese cuisine with a twist!

Comment: Fantastic food and service!The rice balls were more traditional in the sense that they werent dripping in flavor. Each part of it had flavor but combined, it was more subtle. Everyone has their own flavor preferences though.Their spicy ramen was phenomenal. The broth had great depths of flavor but wasnt too heavy. Their noodles were freshly made and were thick enough to retain the broths flavor but not too thick that it felt like udon. I always judge a ramen place for their eggs. Here, it was a perfectly soft boiled marinated egg that complimented the dish.I tried my first high ball here. I dont have a reference point but I could tell they made an effort by the fresh lemon. Their fresh ginger ale was to die for. A fantastic combination with their food and fantastic for the stomach after a heavy meal.The staff was extremely kind and helpful, even sneaking me an extra candied ginger that garnished their ginger ale and was extremely delicious.If youre looking for a fantastic ramen shop I would highly recommend this. There was seating that had a date atmosphere in the front of the restaurant and an open concept in the back for friends and family. Would recommend!

Comment: One of the better ramens in Williamsburg. Their chicken wings are very tasty as well.I recommend getting their lunch deal if you’re hungry!Last time I was here, I had the miso ramen which is vegan. The ramen was good but I will be honest that I’ve liked the tonkotsu much more.The design of the place is minimalist and beautiful. Will be coming back for sure!

Comment: This was my first time at the Brooklyn location and I was surprised by the different feel from the Manhattan location. I enjoyed the ramen as always. The dessert stole the show this time though! I dont know if this is just new or exclusive to the Brooklyn restaurant but the Tokyo Banana is incredible. Very stylish and equally delicious!

Comment: One of the better ramens that Ive had recently. I usually shy away from the tonkotsu because they are too heavy for me and I need to be in the mood for it.However Tonchins is not overbearingly heavy nor is it salty. You can drink the broth comfortably after youre done with the noodles.I love ramen and I never get extra noodles for the places that I like because I dont want to get tired of it. I like to be at the satisfied state but slightly wanting more.No, I didnt get kaedama here 🤗

Comment: Upscale ramen spot in Williamsburg! I had the smoked dashi ramen which was very different, but in a good way! The noodles were fantastic too. For the price however, I did find myself wishing there was more variety in the bowl. Otherwise, the vibe was dope and they had fantastic music choices!

I had a wonderful orange wine to pair with it. Next time, I want to try their mango shaved ice and banana pudding. The staff was very friendly and just amazing service. I recommend people to go here for some delicious food.

I couldnt stop myself from drinking all the soup. This dish was thought through and carefully executed. A dish I would come back for.

Comment: A culinary masterpiece at Tonchin Brooklyn! 🌟🍜 From the moment I stepped in, I was transported to a realm of exceptional flavors and exquisite craftsmanship. The ramen, a true work of art, boasted rich, savory broth that danced harmoniously with tender noodles. The attention to detail in every element of the dish was truly commendable, creating a symphony of taste that delighted my senses.

Comment: Overall pretty good ramen. We got the spicy tantan ramen and vegan miso ginger ramen. The noodles were nice and chewy and the broth was flavorful. The ramen is a little bit on the pricier end but that might have to do with the fact that the midtown one is Michelin rated. We also shared the mango shaved ice. By the time we ordered dessert it got super busy and we waited quite some time for the dessert. There were bits of mango that was pretty fresh and other bits that were not. Im not sure mango is season so that would explain it.I would say this would be a good date spot but it got so loud later on I could barely hear my friend

Comment: It is a sister restaurant to Ramen Tunchin in Midtown, which opened in 2017 and has won the NY Michelin Bib Gourmand for three consecutive years since 2019. Unlike Midtown, it is restaurant-style, offering creative Japanese menus paired with natural wines and creative ramen. Especially this time, the pizza ramen that was made in collaboration with LEO, a popular pizza shop in Brooklyn, was outstanding.It was a high quality ramen that was a perfect marriage of margherita and pork bone soup. The restaurants cuisine is highly creative, with dishes that make good use of fermentation and paired with natural wine. I recommend it

Comment: We were so courious about how Tonchin presents Pizza x Ramen with LEO so we decided to give it a try today.I personally love their salad which was refreshing and appetizing.Reviews said it’s one of the must-tries but we were a little disappointed since the taste of curry is not that rich as smell. Moreover, our chicken wings were dry inside.The Pizza Ramen was the best tonight. The ramen tasted exactly like pizza which was amazingly delicious. We enjoyed the rich and creamy tomato sauce broth with appetizing smell of basil. I love to eat the dough stick dipping with broth.

Comment: Upon entering we were greeted and seated right away. We had reservations for a Wednesday evening at 7:30pm, got there a little early and the process was very smooth.Upon being seated we got the food menu as well as the extensive wine menu (bonus)!The waiter was able to answer all of my questions and the water was continuously refilled in a timely manner. (Only criticism I would have, is that the staff / waiters should always ask if anyone in the party has any dietary restrictions or allergies)The decor and ambiance were the highlight of the experience for me.Though the food was good, I’ve had better ramen in the city. I will have to come back and try more options next time.I ordered the Tan Tan Ramen. I did like how it wasn’t too spicy. The bits of nuts and chili ground meat at the bottom of the bowl complimented the broth really well.The drinks were great, even the non alcoholic green lemonade blew me away. The matcha, lemon, and mint were perfectly balanced!The staff was super cool. Atmosphere was AMAZING! Food was good. I’ll be coming back soon for a final review 🙌🏽

Comment: Incredible ramen spot. Miso ginger ramen was incredible and a great option for vegans or those who don’t eat pork. Noodles were extremely fresh. Only frustrated that the waiter recommended the green tea lemonade and when the bill came I see it’s $12 ?!? It was tiny — about 6 sips in total. Not worth it :/

Comment: A very interesting take on the classic Ramen approach that makes Tonchin Brooklyn stand out from the plethora of ramen shops that have popped up around the city in the past few years.Takes the fantastic ramen from the OG Midtown location and pairs it all with really interesting and well executed appetizers and entrees.All topped off by a complex wine list, the sommelier there was great at guiding me through it all to find a perfect pairing with everything. Also plenty of sake, beer, and whisky, & mocktail options to accommodate any taste.This with the ambience makes a great experience. Suggest making a reservation!

Comment: Great ramen, and having been to the midtown location previously, the Williamsburg Tonchin has a much nicer atmosphere despite not having many seats total. The Kakigori is a must-try if you eat here, the mango and coffee flavors are best

Comment: The ambience was great, perfect for a date night or small group gather (4 ppl max).The small dishes were great, the potatoes were cooked to perfection, but a bit salty for my preference.Both Yakitori pieces are worth getting, with the chicken standing out a bit more than the wagyu which I felt was a bit too well done.The ramen was delicious on a cold night like this. Personally not a fan of how the chashu was presented but the broth was flavorful with depth to provide that allowed the noodles to carry it into my mouth.The desserts were really good as well. The banana pudding reminded me of magnolias but not as sweet with some graham crackers pieces included, a nice crunch. The shaved green tea ice with cream was also refreshing, but could have used a bit more red beans.Overall great experience at a reasonable price point!

Comment: I have been to the Manhattan location multiple times over the course of a few years and have enjoyed the food and the atmosphere there. This location has similar vibes and the food is just as good. The menu here is smaller, but it has all the necessities. Their classic ramen is just as delicious and I would recommend trying the shitake hummus from their bites section.Overall it was enjoyable and clean. The only thing i did not like was how dim it was and how loud the music was playing. It seemed like everyone had to yell to be able to have a conversation.

Comment: Last minute decision, went in and asked if a table of 2 was possible. They said hour and half wait, no problem. We werent hungry just yet. We waited and a bit over hour and half but got a nice table inside due to a cancelation.We ordered the wagyu coulotte and it was amazing. Very flavorful and light. Boyfriend ordered the classic tonkotsu and was superb. I ordered the smoked dashi and you can really taste the dashi in the broth. It was really rich! For dessert we had the soba Panna cotta and it was delicious. Not too sweet, had a nice crunch from the soba, creamy and just decadent. Overall, the wait is well worth it. Only bad thing was the place was very loud!

Comment: The place is a bit dark, so it’s perfect for a date. I ordered the Shiitake and Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen. Both are perfect!!! The ramen noodle is not chewy but with a medium tenderness. The tonkotsu broth is not too greasy and without any weird ingredients. The menma and chasu are perfectly balanced in the whole ramen. Definitely would recommend!

Comment: The traditional way, or the best way, to have ramen is to stand without waiting.I know it’s a hit and especially on the weekend, but it’s no way to eat ramen with a long wait.Thankfully, Tonchin provides stand table for the customers to get drinks, or even food, when they wait for table to be seated.I get Dashi ramen this time and chicken skewer, beef carpaccio, and a hot sauce(really spicy, not kidding).Dashi and clam ramen is great but rich, not for everyone but I’m ok, and chicken skewer is great. I’d get 5 skewers only for the next visit.The only problem is the wait for ramen too long, although we do order some appetizers, I’ve finished 2 beer before the ramen comes.Draft Sapporo is a highlight, totally different from those in Japanese markets, strongly recommend!

Comment: Been here a few times and is a good place for ramen! Their classic tonkotsu ramen is done well, but other noodles such as the tan tan ramen are worth a try too. Would definitely recommend getting the banana pudding and trying the kakigori. The banana pudding was not too sweet and very light, and loved the addition of cream for kakigori with very sweet fruits.

Comment: Excellent all around restaurant. Low lighting in a small setting that makes for an intimate experience-great for a date. Very aesthetic and flavourful appetizers, especially the wings & tartare, that a complimented by refreshing and simple cocktails featuring some fine imported Japanese spirits. The ramen, by all accounts, is best/my favorite thing on this menu. The spicy tan tan is phenomenal, but if your someone with a tree nut allergy- their classic is just as good and you can always ask for the spicy sauce to give it a kick. To top it all off, Tonchin has a lovely staff that is very convivial and very accommodating. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for some authentic Japanese cuisine.

Comment: I don’t know where to begin… Imari always makes sure I have an amazing experience at Tonchin. I went on my birthday and everything was so perfect. The ramen was delicious as ever and the staff were so kind — especially Dylan (sorry if I misspelled this) and the receptionist with a broken arm 😬 who took care of me. I arrived an hour early but he was happy to let me wait at a table!The Brooklyn location is spacious and beautiful — perfect for a date night 🥰 As a Japanese living in NYC I always appreciate their ramen, which is creative but still very authentic! Will be going back very soon.

Comment: Come for the ramen, stay for everything else on the menu. Tonchin is known for their ramen (one of the best Ive had in the city) but I was taken away by how great everything else was. I saw the raw bar when I walked in and knew I had to try it. The white tartare was fresh and delicious. The potatoes and the wings were my other favorites off the menu. If you love ramen or Japanese, you must try Tonchin

Comment: The atmosphere was modern and very intimate- great for a date. We ordered the white tartare to start and it was amazing. Probably my favorite dish. The tebasaki wings were good as well if you like a hint of spice. It was our first time there so we tried the classic Tokyo ramen (which our host recommended) and it did not disappoint. Definitely will be back to try the spicy tan tan. Dessert was the perfect finisher; not too heavy at all but still great flavors. We had the mango shaved ice (massive!) and panna cotta. Great experience and can’t wait to go back!

Comment: Such an amazing experience. The decor of the entire place is beautiful. Reservations are highly recommended.We had the 2 appetizers - coulotte and shiitake mushroom ones - both were great but the latter was AMAZING. The shiitake mushroom had a hummus x tofu like blend to it and it was delicious.We both ordered the miso ramen as it was the only one without pork in it. Its probably the best ramen Ive ever had. Highly recommended.Only downside is the chairs are all wooden so it kinda gets uncomfortable after a while. Still wont knock off starts though lol.

Comment: One of the best meals I can remember. We had the original salad, the shiitake spread, the potato, the wagyu yakitori, the tebasaki wing, and then we split the classic tonchin ramen and the spicy tan tan ramen. Everything was amazing. However, the real heroes of the night were the tebasaki wing and the classic ramen. Fried to perfection, the chicken wing exploded with flavor and was easily the best appetizer anywhere in Brooklyn. The classic ramen broth is a thing of beauty. We could eat that ramen seven days a week. Fantastic meal and wonderful dining experience!

I had the classic ramen, and it was awesome. Service was attentive and friendly. The restaurant space itself was beautiful, it wasn’t too loud and tables aren’t crowded together.

Comment: Tonchin in midtown has been one my top ramen spots for years, so when I’ve heard about another location opening in Williamsburg I could barely hold my excitement.Little did I know that it’ll blow my expectations out of the water.Everything was simply above and beyond. The food is delicious. Not just ramen — we’ve tried their wagyu carpaccio, yakitori, and white fish tartare. If I had to find something to improve it’s that some beef pieces were a bit tough. The meatballs on both skewers were incredible. The white tartare melted in my mouth exploding with flavors perfectly balanced in all the right places. Carpaccio was paired with (marinated?) chives and mustardy sauce. I wanted to lick the plate after every appetizer.The smoked dashi ramen didn’t disappoint either with its ridiculously flavorful broth and meaty pieces of menma that felt like they were just charred over an open fire.I also loved how well-done everything felt besides food — the decor is very organic; think Muji, with its soft colored pastel ceramic plates, wood accents and diffused lights. As if this wasn’t enough, our waiter came with a charming British accent and was attentive and just the right amount of helpful, the dishes came out fast and without any hiccups, the sake recommendation was on point.The price point is a bit high and I wish they served cocktails. It also gets pretty loud. Other than that, a must visit when in the area.

Sommelier was excellent and knowledgeable. Nice variety of mocktails and further showcased creativity. The white tartare, oysters, and shiitake starter was spectacular and a must get! Their classic Tokyo tonkotsu ramen was out of this world and with a great depth of flavor. Soba panna cotta and mango shaved ice was amazing, refreshing, and a perfect way to end a meal.
