I was not much of a fan of the DC location as it is too hip for me and the food not worth the long waits. I finally tried it when they did a collaboration with a favorite chef, Colin Liang of Watersong. The collaboration was simply incredible. We got in with no wait just as they were closing. We never felt rushed and the food rocked. Since then we have been back 2 times and both times the food was really really good and the service superb. The portions are not huge so we k ow to order a starter and main for each of us, plus an extra dish. Their beverage service is very good indeed. We would be here more often if it were closer in. It is a hike for us to get there but we do it regularly. And now we are going to some theaters nearby so we can visit more often! read more

I've heard good things about the Toki Underground in DC and was happy to hear that one opened up in Baltimore. The area isn't the best, but when we walked into the restaurant, it was like we were transported. It was very cool and trendy inside with its own hipster-y flair. We made reservations and were sat right away. We were seated outside. They have an AC unit, but with the large roll up door opened on the other side, it doesn't really do much. They have fans everywhere to keep you cool, although if you have long hair (with baby hair at the top) it makes it a little harder to eat without eating your hair. But the food is worth maybe accidentally getting your hair in your mouth. My friends are vegan, and they had some good vegan choices. They got the fried vegan dumplings for an appetizer, which they raved about. My husband got the silk tofu appetizer (which I believe is also vegan), and we were blown away. The miso ginger sauce it came with paired perfectly with the super soft tofu. The baos also looked fantastic (as we creeped on what the other tables ordered). I might get the shrimp next time. My friend got the vegan ramen with their special endorphins sauce on the side. Our other friend got the Dan Dan noodles that were also vegan and commented how creamy it was. My husband and I both got the toki classic. Wow, that broth is ridiculously good. I'm not the biggest ramen fan, but I can appreciate how flavorful that broth was. My mouth still waters thinking about that first bite. My husband loved it and also got a side of the endorphins sauce on the side. He didn't really find it spicy at all. One of the waitresses was an absolute hoot and so much fun. Service all around was awesome. They do include an 18% gratitude on your check already, but it was well deserved! They also have cool little set ups in the walls. There were little Pokémon figurines in the one closest to us! Overall, we really really enjoyed our food and overall dining experience. I could see us coming back a LOT which might be dangerous for our waistline. I have my eye on the yam noodles next time. Parking was pretty easy on the street! read more

Toki Underground - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I used to go to Toki DC all the time back in the day, glad they opened up a spot in Baltimore! Still love the Tapei Curry Chicken ramen and pan fried gyoza. The pickle plate was quite good. + easy to make a reservation on Yelp + lovely staff + cool vibes and decor - $3.50 can of soda eeeeeeeeee read more

Toki Underground - Taipei Curry Chicken Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

Food wise, this place is a 5. We had a large group and they were very accommodating. The ramen was very flavorful and tasty. The inside was very cool with exposed brick and small things around to make for a great time. I will definitely be going back as the managers went out of their way to make sure I had a 5 star experience. That says a lot about a business. Run, don't walk to this place as I assure you, you will enjoy your experience. I had the curry ramen and they got it right. The chicken thigh was amazing. You won't be disappointed. read more

In my opinion, the ambiance (indoors in particular) is one of the coolest and best parts about this place. Such a fun vibe! Outside is a little rougher although still cute - I say this because there were cans of bug spray on each table, which indicated to me that there are some creatures in the outside area. I sprayed up and was fine, but still. The food is good - as a gluten free gal, I just appreciate that there is an option for me. The broth was delicious! No point in talking about service, as you are charged 18% either way. read more

Summary: Temper expectations Don't get me wrong, the food wasn't bad, just that I went in with much higher expectations. The chicken on our steamed bun appetizer was slightly overdone. The ramen and mazeman were decent. We actually liked the drinks but don't think the drinks by themselves would draw us back. Service was good but not exceptional. Note that they have a mandatory service charge 18%, which is fair, but wasn't communicated. Location wasn't the greatest and parking could be tricky although we lucked out. The ambiance was really good. Good options with the inside and patio seating. Not sure how that would fair on a really warm day. Prices weren't too crazy, but I think it was definitely more than what I though the food was worth. read more

HECK YES Toki Underground has come to Baltimore! I've tried their DC spot a few times and was pumped to see them expanding, better yet so close to me. I've been stalking their socials to see the designs, ideas and opening dates. After a soft launch they opened up Yelp reservations and I was able to make a reservation very easily! We arrived at the newly opened restaurant with excitement! There is parking available but street parking was ample. When we arrived we were seated promptly. The space is upbeat, detailed, and purposeful. From the open kitchen to the skateboard moving above your head - you can tell a lot of thought has gone into this space. We sat at the counter and were greeted by several staff members. The service was impeccable! Friendly and very thoughtful. I've had a lot of ramen but still had questions, the server was super helpful and made recommendations I probably wouldn't have gone with. My favorite dish of the night was definitely the pan fried pork dumplings. You get six dumplings on top of a sauce that is very flavorful. Within the sauce there were notes of garlic and scallions with addition to fresh scallions on top. I went with the red miso ramen and my husband got the curry ramen. Both were excellent dishes with very flavorful noodles but I felt the red me so could have used a little more flavor or saltiness. I will try it again with the spice bomb added! I'm excited to keep discovering all the little design choices within the restaurant and try more menu items. Make sure to check at the bathroom, they are a lot of fun! I look forward to trying some of their drinks as I really enjoy them when I'm in the DC location. Welcome to Baltimore, we are excited to have you! read more

Overall this place was amazing, the staff was super friendly & the food was delicious I wish the portions were bigger but I'm not sure if it's because I came during happy hour it was my first time but I do plan on coming back soon read more

One of the worst service experiences my partner and I have had. We had no reservations, and were asked to wait 15-20 minutes for a table. After standing for 30 minutes, we were sat at the edge of the bar with a random computer covering half the table, little to no light, and the hostess gave us glass bottle water with no cups. What makes it worse is that this spot had no one sitting at it for the entirety of our wait. We sat for another 15 minutes, waiting for our cups, a server, or anything for that matter. Needless to say we left read more

Baltimore just got another superior ramen spot. The space is large, but still feels intimate. The main dining room is open to the kitchen, so you can watch as the magic happens, and there are several counter seats that put you feet away from the action. We tried a variety of items from the menu, and they were all superb. The curry ramen was rich and had layers of flavor. The vegan ramen was so much more interesting than the usual vegan option. It was spicy, but had a mild sweet undertone from pickled beets, and also came with some sort of mushroom bomb that added depth and richness. For the ramen you also have the option to add an "endorphin bomb," which is a very tasty spice blend that will likely make you sweat, curse, and cry for your mother. The real star of the meal was the mushroom Dan Dan. I'm not entirely sure what made it so good, but it was silky, lush, and really just something special. The pork belly bun was a close second best, coming deconstructed so you could add the sauce, kimchi, and slaw to it in the ratio of your choice. Overall, I'm thrilled this place has opened and can't wait to go back. You're probably gonna want to make a reservation because this place is gonna be packed. read more

I was able to visit yesterday in the early afternoon and I had high hopes since I knew it was a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The moment I walked it it had such a cool, modern but also retro vibe that was a perfect atmosphere for dinner. I took a seat at the bar and it was the best choice because i was able to get my food immediately, and see it being easily made as well. I started with the wakame salad which had a great vinegary taste, and the vegan dumplings which we super filling. Next, the Toki wings had an such a unique batter taste and had a good amount of meat on them. The star of the show though was the mala garlic tonkotsu, which I would probably drink straight if I could. It starts off as a light flavor but the packs a deep punch, different from typical ramen spots. The chashu was unique in being a thin strip, but it didn't miss any of the char or taste. Their new dessert thats being rolled out next week, Purin, had a complexity of flavors from the flan, the sauce, and the crunchy nuts on top. The icing on the cake were the Hinoki Mori and yuzu thai iced tea- they were so so delicious and perfect pairings to the meal! read more

Food, service, and ambiance are all 5-star! I usually get the Toki Classic Ramen, extra spicy, but this time I went for the Shiitake Dan Dan noodles. It wasn't spicy enough for my taste so I just asked for extra chili oil. My niece got the Tokyo Curry ramen, and that was super flavorful. And we devoured the Mango and Passion Pavlova for dessert. We love Toki Underground and we'll definitely be back! read more

Shop is in a "hole in the wall" Once you walk in, it's a warm climate with warm, dim lighting. You can sit in a half outdoor section as well, however we held off since it was a bit chilly. Service was good. The floral lemonade was strong, tart and a bit sweet. Good, nonetheless. 7/10 They give you a bottle of water to distribute via glass for the table. The chicken that comes in the curry ramen and can also be ordered as a side order is good. Great crisp on the breading, juicy and tender chicken. The curry ramen was creamy, flavorful and delicious. 8.5/10 Chicken wings were a unique seasoning and sauce. Nothing like I've ever tasted before. 7/10 Shrimp dish comes out as 3 jumbo shrimp on a bed of spicy mayo. I prefer my sauce on the side, so it's not overpowering, but it wasn't a big deal. 7/10 The pork belly in the pork belly mazeman is AMAZING. 10/10 The Brussels sprouts were tossed in a great sauce. Cooked perfectly 10/10 read more

Toki Underground - Inside - Ramen Near Me - Baltimore, Maryland

I have never had better food than I did here! They were able to accommodate our group of 12 pretty last minute, there is street parking and they have a gravel parking lot just a little bit up the street, and we came when a thunderstorm was suppose to hit and the outside seating has a covered portion so we stayed dry! The food came out quick, the drinks were amazing, and I wish I could have ordered 1 of everything on the menu. The inside is such a cool vibe and they have little "easter eggs" throughout that you can search for. This is a MUST GO if you are in Baltimore!!! read more

Met my daughter and her friend last night for dinner at Toki Underground and had a wonderful time. Such a unique decor, cozy high tables around a bar area but it was not noisy at all. I'm not one for drinking but the girls had ordered two different kinds of sake and I discovered I REALLY like Ozeki Nigori sake. It's creamy, velvety, and a little sweet and I did not have my usual allergic reaction to alcohol (my face turns red, and I have some trouble breathing, which is why I don't typically drink!) We ordered many appetizers: Dumplings 3/5 (pork filling was a little hard/mouth feel was off) Cloud shrimp 5/5* - the kimchi kewpie mayo aioli was so delicious, I used it on the bao bun too! Pork belly steamed buns 4/5 - came with cucumber slices, scallions, a grain mustard/mayo aioli which was not as good as the kimchi kewpie mayo aioli and the pork belly was very thinly sliced and a little tough Chicken kaarage 4/5 - flavorful small pieces of chicken with kewpie mayo aioli Then we tried three of their ramen: red miso, classic, traditional tonkatsu We frankly couldn't tell that much difference between the red miso and the classic in terms of the soup flavor. Only the tonkatsu tasted significantly different and I liked that one the best: 4/5 - largely because of the quality of the pork belly (see note on bao bun - similarly very thin slices and tough meat which is weird for pork belly). It's also hard to rate ramen in Baltimore well against ramen in Jtown in LA or Tokyo! But if you're in Baltimore and looking for good ramen and apps and that Ozeki Nigori sake, give Toki Underground a try. read more

A proper Ramen bar. I'm not sure what else needs to be said. I sat the edge of the bar. I ordered a Toki Classic. I ate it with gusto. Quickly, but enjoying everything. I finished quickly. A pair of what I'm guessing were undergrad girls talking next to me as the Super Bowl went on without any televisions to mark it. The food was excellent, the environment was oblivious and stellar. I will probably be back. read more

I could eat this soup every night. It's hearty and creamy and just perfect. The fried chicken bao are fantastic as well. Truly there's nothing here that I've tried that hasn't been fantastic. There tends to be a wait, but for food this good, it's worth it. read more

Delicious food in a nice intimate setting! Stopped by Toki Underground for dinner as it has been on my list of places to try. First off, the service was amazing. Our server was really knowledgeable and I respected that he asked us upfront about any allergies or dietary restrictions and had a bunch of suggestions based on what we said. The food was delicious as well! I tried two appetizers: the sake-battered cauliflower steamed buns and the shiitake-yake. For the sake-battered cauliflower steamed buns, I thought all of the items to make it complimented each other well but I wish the steamed bun was a little bit fluffier and the cauliflower a little bit crispier. The shiitake-yake was like a potato dumpling with shiitake and some other veggies stuffed inside. The exterior was crispy and the inside soft which kind of gave me a hash brown vibe. For the ramen, I tried the Toki classic. The ramen broth was nice and rich and the chashu pork belly was very delicious. Also, I liked that they used Chinese broccoli as the veggie in the ramen as Chinese broccoli has a nice crunch to it. Overall, would definitely recommend coming if you're in the area! Note: We did have a bit of difficulty finding the restaurant as there's no huge sign saying Toki Underground but if see the ramen noodles display above the outside of the restaurant, you are at the right place! read more

Toki Underground is a creative ground for Japanese Izakaya-inspired ramen and foods. Located in Baltimore's Harwood neighborhood, Toki Underground develops a modern and slick space in an otherwise unsuspecting location. The ambiance is thoughtfully designed here to be intimate but casual enough to bring a small group for an outing. Upon arrival, staff are quick and eager to recommend and advise. The menu is curated to showcase Japanese classics plus adaptations from other Asian cultures. The karaage was crispy and juicy, paired with a lemon and aioli to cut through the subtle fats from frying. Definitely would recommend this appetizer. The pork belly bao on the other hand was divine. Though filling components were separated and had to assembled individually, each ingredient shined and delivered in taste and quality. The pork belly was one of the crispiest pork belly slices I have ever experienced. I would say this dish is a must have coming here. Finally, the Toki Classic Ramen is unique experience if not a satisfying meal by itself. The toppings of scallions, Chinese Broccoli, soft egg, pickled ginger, and nori were quality but not the main show. The broth and noodles were by far the most interesting features of the ramen (as should be). The broth upon initial contact was underwhelming to be frank. It was less rich than typical ramens and didn't really taste like anything special. However, given enough time to introduce all the components of the ramen together, you experience something truly new. The pork topping dissipates a rich savory flavor while the flora components introduce a subdued but present flavor of freshness. This ramen is innovative with its transformation over time and thoughtful additions of different toppings. Overall, a dish worth trying. Overall, Toki Underground is a breathe of fresh air to Baltimore's local food scene. Though I don't see this place being my go-to for ramen, I do encourage everyone to try this place and experience it themselves. Cheers! read more

Delicious wings that go fantastically w Sapporo Lager. Still thinking about it the next day, and that is a good sign. I also enjoyed the Classic Ramen, the best parts of which were the Chinese broccoli and runny egg. Thumbs up for friendly service from both the host and the waiter. read more

I went to the Jinji chocolate Valentine's dinner with my partner and we were both thoroughly impressed. Both the quality of food and the portion sizing were extremely well worth the cost of the meal. I personally loved the additional menu items for the event, such as the Seared Duck Breast in chocolate and orange sauce, as well as the passionfruit drink "My Bleeding Heart". Every table was decorated with a candle and a vase of roses, creating an intimate atmosphere for the night. The wait staff was extremely attentive and friendly, from host to server. Will definitely try to attend their future events as well! read more

Having been to the one in dc numerous times, I was excited that they opened up a location in Baltimore! It's a little bit bigger than the dc location, which is great to serve more people. I had made a reservation even though we went for like a senior citizen dinner around 5:30, lol. We had no problem parking right out front at that time of day, and we were the only people in there when we arrived, but it quickly started to fill up on a Friday evening. We enjoyed the pan-fried pork gyoza, the pickle plate (which I was expecting pickles, but it was actually pickled things, which was a fun surprise!), I had the Dan Dan Noodles (no shrooms, add chicken), and hubs had the Brontosaurus bowl. Everything was delish! Wanted to try the dessert but we were too full. 1 cocktail for me, 2 for the hubs, with a bill totaling $100. Will return! read more

Finally! An awesome ramen place in Baltimore has finally opened. Toki not only has delicious, slurp-able ramen but also has a wide array of mouthwatering appetizers. My friend and I went for New Year's Day lunch and indulged on the brussel sprouts, pickle plate, kimchi, pork potstickers, and the shrimp bao buns. The appetizers were all amazing except for the potstickers which came out cold and crunchy to the point of almost stale. Kind of disappointing but not a huge deal, since everything else was pretty on point. I tried the lobster ramen which rich, creamy with a soft boiled egg. Hands down the best ramen in Maryland! The service was great, everything came out super fast and we loved the ambiance inside!! read more

Toki Underground has hit the Baltimore food scene and what a wonderful addition it has made! The space is larger than their DC location, and many of the same items are still at this location. I walked in and was warmly greeted by the staff. I loved how spacious it was inside, and that there was a comfortable heated patio connected. The bar area is perfect and the decor was edgy and very fitting for their unique menu. My friend and I split some great quality sake, which was perfect for the cold day. Additionally, I got the classic Toki broth and shrimp bao. I absolutely love their classic broth and wish I had more room for their ramen, but this was a perfect introduction to this location. I can't wait to come back and enjoy some of their cocktails and ramen dishes. Don't walk, run! Be sure to make a reservation since this place does get busy. read more

I highly recommend this place. I came here on a whim because I was in the area and have been MEANING to try this place. They were kind enough to let my friends and I dine 30 minutes before they closed the kitchen, and still gave us excellent customer service. The decor of the restaurant is very chic, with the darker decor definitely compliments the restaurant and its location. It sort of felt like a speakeasy that wasn't so secret. Now the food and the drink I ordered. Marvelous. 10/10. I highly recommend the Yuzu Sake. Specifically the hot one. Now I ordered the chilled version, still fantastic, but I 100% guarantee the warmed version of this drink will melt in your mouth. Definitely will be trying it next I'm I go. The karaage was good. Tender and excellent with the curry broth. The shrimp bao was *chef's kiss*. I could literally eat 10 of them. It was super tasty. My total was $28, I'm actually surprised it wasn't more. The portions of everything were a nice size. Definitely recommend this place. read more

It was my first time and I'm honestly giving it a five because of the service and the ambiance. I obviously can't speak to everything on the menu but my server was super nice and he didn't like hover. He read the room and knew when to approach and when to not interrupt mid convo/excitement. I got the kimchi ramen. The broth was very rich and flavorful. The noodles were cooked just right. The bok choy was so delicious and absorbed the broth. I wish I asked is they had chili oil because I drizzle of that would've taken it to the next level. The location is cute, I love the cool spinning skateboard installation they have on the ceiling. It's nice and intimate. I'd definitely go back to try the rest of their menu, I had my mind on the pork buns but I was worried I'd get too full. read more

Service was great. The fried chicken bao buns were delicious, I was expecting it to come already arranged(with the chicken, mayo, ginger in the bun) but it's not a huge deal that it didn't. I was very disappointed with the ramen. It had no flavor, the noodles tasted like they came straight out the plastic. The broth definitely needs more work. read more

Great food and vibe! I love the decor inside. I made an easy reservation through Yelp and we were seated right away. I didn't have any issues parking right outside the restaurant. My friend and I shared the pork dumplings and kimchi. I got the Toki classic ramen and my friend tried one of the broth less noodle dishes. The ramen and broth were both delicious and the portion was generous! We opted to share the miso-butter-creme cookies. Really unique! It was the perfect blend of sweet and salty. I took off a star because it was uncomfortably hot in the room we were seated in. We were in the side room (that was really cute, I could see it having a cool vibe when the weather is nice!), it just got very warm (and I'm generally a person that runs cold). I was definitely sweating by the end of eating hot ramen in a hot room! But overall it would not keep me from coming back :P read more

The moment I heard that Toki Underground was coming into Baltimore, I was excited, then I saw that the restaurant was going to be less than half a mile from my house, and I jumped for joy. I had lived in DC before coming to Baltimore, and I cited in those long lines to slurp up some of the tastiest ramen around. I'd always go with the Classic, but then supersize it with extra noodles, nori, and egg, and there would still be plenty of broth. So when it came time that the restaurant opened it was a whole new ball game. Reservations take a lot of work to go by, as with any new restaurant, not to mention when you get in there; it is a small space. My wife and I made a 5:00pm reservation, the first service of the day and the only remaining reservation. The building could be more inconspicuous in Greenmount but closer to 28th Street. There is artwork, but one landmark that can help is a rainbow archway that serves as an entrance to a community garden across the street. My wife and I were seated and promptly served by Shelby, who was fantastic from start to end. The only blemish that I have is the lack of a beverage program. There was only one cocktail on the menu. A pork belly old fashion; however, it left my wife wanting more; it was an old fashioned with a piece of pork belly on top of an old fashioned, there was a hint of smoke, but it just felt like it lacked something. The restaurant does collaborate with Peabody Heights Brewery, a Yuzu Gose, and it does well with the ramen, whether you take it spicy or regular. I have faith that the beverage program will improve, the restaurant has been open for less than a month but will continue to get better. I would go with my usual, but I did want to try other items on the menu, so I went with the Mazeman; although tasty, I am going to lean back on my usual with the occasional time I will do something different. At the end of the evening, we added a round of beers for the staff because you can do that, and you can see that they are working hard and will continue to work hard so long as the community and beyond will continue to show. As far as my family and I are concerned, we will. read more

The rumors are true: Toki is here, and they're open in Baltimore! This place is MUCH more spacious than the DC location which gives it a much more relaxed feel. There's also a parking lot, which gives you another incentive to check it out. The increase in space also allows you to take in more of the decor and art while you wait for your food. Let's talk about the food. I got the Taipei curry chicken and the Red Miso ramen. We also got the cold tofu (major banger!!!) and the chicken buns. The broths were layered, savory, and made my knees a little weak. Despite its size increase, this place is gonna get busy fast - try and make a reservation if you can! read more

I'm no ramen expert but I really enjoyed my meal at Toki! The decor and overall vibe of the place is so cool, I love when businesses take the time to make the interior of their restaurant stand out. I've heard people say this location is larger on the inside than their DC one but I found spacing to be a wee bit cramped, I sat at the bar with a lovely young lady and it felt like we were elbow roommates lol. I'm sure it intended to be that way to give the authentic ramen bar experience. It may even be a neat way to get to know your neighbor and talk about the restaurant together if you're an introverted lil baby like me. The ramen was very plentiful in noodles, broth, and veggies was however lacking in flavor a little bit. All of their ramen come not spicy, you'll have to request for it to be hot. I love spicy foods so the extra sauce was definitely needed to make the ramen stand out a bit more. Service was great too! They have a lot of working hands in the kitchen and you can really taste the freshness in the ingredients. Overall great, I'm excited to try their bao buns next! read more

Our Baltimore edition of Toki is just as excellent as the DC one we've loved for a long time. Great ramen, with super flavorful broth and lots of topping options - we love the spice bomb. We've been a few times and enjoy that there are a few extra options showing up on the noodles list depending on what proteins are available - but I haven't been able to tear myself away from their classic bowls to try the visiting ones yet. Strongly recommend making reservations - they're quite popular. read more

**overall: large portioned ramen, hip vibes. broth is bit on salty side** I got a red miso ramen, and I love that it included nori and veggies! The Chinese broccoli was actually quite nice. The egg was poached, slightly different than the usual soy marinated ones I get in ramen. But I enjoyed it. Overall plating is beautiful! I will say the broth was pretty salty, and the braised pork felt like it was falling apart into my soup. Not a huge fan of that but others may like that. This isn't a very traditional ramen shop; all the menu items are more "Asian fusion." Which is cool! The vibe is hip and nice; I sat at the bar and it was cool to sit close to other people. Similar to how they do it in Japan. It does get loud though. Also, their AC was not very strong (I only saw one unit on my side), so be prepared to sweat a little! **service Servers are very attentive and nice, despite there being so many other patrons. **logistics There is NOT a lot of parking nearby. A different review said there's a parking lot, but I asked the waiters and they said it's not for customers. So street parking it is! Plan ahead--I had to drive around for 10 minutes before I found street parking. read more

A night out with the bestie. We popped into this corner spot to enjoy some ramen on a chilly night. We didn't have a reservation, noted for next time and suggested for future patrons. We ordered much more food than pictured, this was one of those "oh no I ate it before taking a picture" moments. We got the wings and vegan steamed dumplings. They were very good. Best part is that since we sat at the bar to eat we watched the guy who put all the garnishes on each plate. A little uncomfortable and possibly unsanitary to sit that close to the pass but there we were. Service was excellent, food came out fast and the energy and vibe of the location was so relaxing. read more
