Another great experience at Tonchin. Made a reservation for a Wednesday dinner at 6:15. Was able to…read morefind street parking around the corner. Person at the front checked us in and walked us to our table. It was my first time using the Blackbird app and the server (didn't get her name) was super nice and walked me on how to use it (thank you!). We got the fish baos and the unagi "rice ball" to start with. Both great, the bao was really good, the sauce was great, the cilantro gave it the perfect touch. I thought the fish could have been a bit more flavorful but still great. The unagi rice ball was great, just really hard to eat without it falling apart. As for the ramen, we got my favorite, the smoked dashi ramen, and their classic tonkotsu. They also had their OG tonkotsu ramen on a special menu, which is similar to the classic but the main difference being the type of pork meat that they use (pork belly). The smoked dashi ramen was as good as I remembered it, but the classic tonkotstu ramen was tasting a bit better surprisingly. I wish the smoked dashi ramen had the option to choose between clams and pork. For dessert I was really excited to try their banana pudding and also got their matcha kaki-gori (shaved ice). Although the banana pudding was not bad, it was the kaki-gori that blew my mind. The tonchin honey cream sauce was absolutely delicious. The overall texture of the kaki-gori was perfect, not chunky at all. And best of all, this was free thanks to the Blackbird app promotion! (Shameless plug to use my referral code bb-4r9xyi to get you $20). If I had the choice, I'd go with the kaki-gori instead of the pudding if you're only going to have one dessert. I can never go wrong with Tonchin. My absolute favorite ramen spot. Vibes are great, music not too loud, great date spot. I will be back again soon!

Pro tip - order both the Tokyo banana and the matcha kakigori for a unique Macgyver experience and probably my favorite combo here... it is essentially a banana pudding matcha kakigori. Have been here 3x just for the dessert options and the staff were very nice about it. Ambience is casual and dim.

We're very picky on how we like calamari and we all enjoyed it. The branzino was served with potatoes and blanched spinach. The fish was cooked perfectly where it was soft on the inside but nice and crispy on the outside. The potatoes were also seasoned and cooked well however the spinach was slightly salty to our liking. Now the pizza... it was not a margherita pizza, it's just cheese pizza, like you can find anywhere else. The three of us were pretty disappointed so I would recommend getting a different pizza or trying their pasta dishes. Most folks around us seemed to be having pasta dishes. The tiramisu was delicious and a nice way to end dinner. We were very full but was able to make room for it. The service was well, very friendly. My dad asked for a white wine that went with the main course and the server gave a good recommendation. I judge an Italian restaurant by their margherita and it was by far the most disappointing so I'm not sure I'll be back, but if pizza is not your thing, don't let that stop you from giving this place a chance!

They make you a drink based on your preference. There is no menu. I feel like the only thing that they are missing pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee, pee is a better interior decor.

I've been coming here for months and love this place, which is why I was shocked by what happened…read more The bouncer named Issac publicly shouted accusations at me inside the bar without cause, refused to hear me out, and when things got heated, he completely fabricated that I used a racial slur to justify banning me. That slur is something I would never say. I care about this place, but having a doorman make false claims and create scenes in front of regulars is going to drive people away. I have had three separate problems with this Isaac gentleman and recommend avoiding this bar if you see him working there. Thankfully, anybody that knows me knows that I would never use a racial slur, but that doesn't make it okay.

Where is every body? They are missing out! They have 50% off appetizers on Tuesdays.

Hugh recommend you come by, they validate parking here! We have had the honey cream apple slices, kimchi pancake, corn cheese, yakitori (octopus balls), sharing ceviche and truffle fries. Every single thing has been bomb. I really want this place to survive, so hope it gets more traction in the future. Also the vibe is really cool, very retro and is inspired by a night in 1980s Seoul. Never been to Seoul, nor was alive in the 80s, but it is a great place to LARP.

However, I had a pretty awful experience with their red headed bartender, the one with the long beard. I waited at the bar for 10mins and watched him take several drink orders from people who arrived after me. I put my hand up to try and get his attention, only to hear him shout "YOU DONT NEED TO WAVE AT ME, I CAN SEE YOU!", all while not looking at me and continuing to serve everyone but me. Eventually one of the other bartenders came out from the back and helped me. Definitely put a damper on my afternoon. Why work in customer service if you're going to hate customers for no reason?
