Our Take

Founded in Tokyo in 1992 and brought to Midtown West in 2017 by Anan Sugeno, Tonchin NYC is celebrated for its signature broth, fresh-made noodles, and a modern ambiance that balances lunch rushes with evening crowds.

Tried Tonchin’s Tonkotsu and Smoked Dashi ramen plus the Yuzu Matcha. The Tonkotsu is creamy with a seafood twist, balanced and not too heavy. The Smoked Dashi is bolder, smoky with clams and tobiko — great if you want something unique. The Yuzu Matcha was refreshing and cut through the richness perfectly. Overall, high quality ramen worth trying."
