Finally tried this place. The highlight for me suprisingly was the appetizers. Tried the crispy chicken thighs and fried dumplings. The chicken thighs were moist, flavorful and the coleslaw that came with it was delicious. The dumplings were cooked pretty well too. As for the ramen, I tried the red miso ramen. Good broth, but the noodles were a little tough and I prefer traditional chashu pork over their pulled pork take. But other than that, it was a pretty good experience. read more

This review is LONG overdue (literally, like years lol). So here goes it! Visited during happy hour, boy was it a nice crowd! We headed upstairs and found a spot with view outside, perfect for people watching. It's a pretty cozy place, expect to be sitting pretty close to others! The ramen was delicious, full of flavor! I remember the pork belly (which was reduced in price for HH) being the one item that I wanted to make sure I came back for. read more

An out-of-body experience. This ramen place is so unique and does a good job of incorporating American flavors with traditional Asian Ramen. It honestly tasted like a Texas BBQ smoky flavor in ramen form. Portion sizes are hefty and definitely go for the beef ribs! Quite easily my favorite ramen shop across the US. read more

It's the worst Ramen place I have ever tried. This place was beyond disgusting. and believed me I had been to a really bad establishment. The health department needed to close this rat household. I you care about your health don't eat here you will definitely get food poison and a trip to the hospital. The music was so loud that the roaches came up dancing from every angle disgusting. Just check those pictures below. It is such a shame that it had great reviews. Never ever stayed away. read more

**This is a to go order review. Noodle Night means Toki Underground in our house! We love the Taipei Curry Ramen - and the red miso ramen (pictured) is a new addition. I substituted the regular ramen noodles for yam noodles - crunchy! **This is a to go order review. The service and the ambiance not reviewed.

I was almost scared to post this review, knowing how much love there is for Toki Underground in the community! I went last weekend and was sadly disappointed in every dish I had. Let's dive into it: 1) Decor/vibes: 10/10. The space is so funky inside, with a blue light setting a moody tone with artificial trees and anime/cutesy animals all around. 2) Space: this place was PACKED. We had reservations for 8pm, which I made 1.5 weeks in advance. Folks were being told it was 2 hours of wait without reservations at the door. The space is tiny, making you feel "exclusive" when you walk in, but this positive feeling was quickly extinguished shortly after I was seated. There is no where to put your jacket, with only a small metal hook under the counter to place your purse. The people next to me kept elbowing me. We sat on stools which was fine short term, but was uncomfortable after a while. I also can't remember the exact time limits TU sets, but I'm pretty sure our waiter let us know we had 75 minutes after seating before we would be asked to give up the space. 3) Brussel sprouts: Soooooo salty. Not very crispy. It was a decent portion. 4) Pork dumplings: Pretty bland. I will say, if you check in on Yelp you get a coupon for free dumplings so that was a very nice surprise! 5) Toki classic ramen: I was shocked at how flavorless the broth of this ramen was, since this was a Michelin awarded ramen joint known for its ramen. I did like the egg on top- it was perfectly cooked and added some depth to the dish. Everything else about the dish was just "fine," nothing to rave about and nothing to complain about. Maybe I ordered oddly, or the kitchen was having an off day? After this experience, I'm not convinced Toki lives up to the hype. read more

Ordered delivery so I can't speak to the location. I do appreciate how they packaged the food and added utensils (those are scarce now with deliveries). But of a wait to get my food but understandably since it's such a popular spot. Toki Classic Ramen: 4/5. Over all the ramen was great! The ingredients were fresh and the kale was crunchy. Glad they packaged it so neat and pretty. The egg was perfectly boiled. The meat had good flavor but was a little tough. I wanted more of a punch of flavor from the broth. I felt like I needed to add to it so I could really enjoy it. However, nothing was bad. I think it's just my personal tastebuds. Might try a spicy ramen bowl next time. Highly recommend their ramen. You won't be disappointed in what you try. read more

I really like Toki Underground, but I think that "Best Ramen in DC" is a strong claim to live up to. Toki has a really cute vibe, but I do wish that there were tables instead of just counter seating along the perimeter of the space. It was also a little bit hot in there when I went. Service was great. The food is really good. The Wakame cucumber seaweed salad had great flavor and was very reasonably priced for the serving size. The Pan Fried Pork Dumplings had amazing flavor and texture, and were much more elevated than your average pork dumpling. The Fried Chicken Steamed Buns were my favorite of all of the appetizers. The chicken was so crispy and flavorful. The Crispy Chicken Thigh was just alright. In terms of the ramen, I thought the broth to noodle ratio was a little bit off. I wished there was more broth. My only other "complaint" is that both ramens had a lot of scallion in them, and the flavor became a little overpowering. The broth in the Toki Classic Ramen and the Taipei Curry Chicken Ramen had great flavor. The egg in both was a little under-done for my liking. The braised pork in the Toki Classic was some of the best ramen pork I have ever had. read more

This place was worth the hour wait for our table when we weren't able to make a reservation ahead of time. I would recommend getting one if you have the opportunity. The restaurant is small but there's not a bad seat anywhere. The dumplings were delicious, so good I forgot to take a photo. There's also a dive bar downstairs if you need to fill time before or after you eat. read more

Generally, I was underwhelmed by this restaurant. I got invited back and I think the food quality did improve for what I tried, but there were still some things that I really wanted to see improved. Unfortunately, our experience was cut short as there were hairs in 2 of our dishes. I can overlook a hair in one dish, but when it was in the second, we could not finish our meal. After the first dish I think they should have double check each plate that was going out not just to our party. Ambiance: (3/5) The area does have small restaurants, so it's not their fault, but it was really cramped as most of the seating was against the wall (bar style seating). The music was nice. Price: (4/5) I thought $17-$19 for ramen is very reasonable especially considering the location. I also tried the cauliflower buns and dumplings that were reasonably priced. Food: (3/5) I got the dumplings and they were okay the first time, but after trying them again, I think they improved the sauce and they were crispier. Last time, I got the kimchi ramen which was good. The broth was seasoned well and pork was tender. My egg was completely cold on the inside which was disappointing. I tried it again and the egg in the ramen and it was cold again. It seems the eggs are premade. Lastly, I also thought there should be more kimchi if it's called a kimchi ramen. Service: (5/5) Food came out quickly and the waiters were very nice. In conclusion, I don't recommend coming to this place. There is better ramen around. The reason for the two stars was the multiple hairs in multiple dishes. read more

The service was amazing. Our waiter was extremely nice and helpful. I recommend the Japanese root beer. It has a really good taste, very rich. The noodles are extremely tasty. The broth just blows my mind. The mood was amazing. It was nice and lively. The music was pretty loud, but otherwise it was perfect. read more

It wasn't our initial plan of eating here. The place we originally wanted to go to was closed so this was our next option and I'm glad we chose this place. We walked in and reservations were booked but they were able to squeeze us in, which was awesome! Service was great despite the busy-ness. I ordered the Taipei Chicken Curry and it was reaaaaaally good! Spicy on a hot day, but GOOOOD! I heard this place is known for their karaage so I believe I was able to try it out on this dish and it was really good! PLUS, with a side of Sapporo beer? 100%. Despite the lack of AC, I still enjoyed my time. Highly recommend to try! Its real cute but cozy. read more

Toki has been around for a while and I had to see what the buzz was about. Food: Fried Chicken Ramen Ramen was very good. The broth was hearty and tasty. The toppings were fresh and plentiful. My chicken on the ramen was a tad bit overcooked, but still really good. Fried Chicken Steamed Buns: Delicious and fried to perfection. The Japanese mayo compliments the sweet chili sauce and to top it off, pickles and cilantro seal the deal. Drinks: Sake Flight: Great selections of Sake, I recommend this! read more

So...... I have to give this place one star because the decor was great and it's a beautiful intimate space. The food though.. disgusting.. I had the curry ramen and it was bland. It tasted like water with noodles and waiting for over an hour to get a seat just made things worse. The chicken that was in it tasted like somebody just threw salt on it and tossed it in the broth, it did not compliment the ramen at all. I even got the fried chicken buns and that wasn't good either. Everything was just flavorless and honestly, I could of made a better ramen by getting a 25 cent pack from Walmart. At least when it says beef flavor, it taste like beef flavor. The Apple soda was delicious though and I would recommend getting that as a drink. It was one of my gf favorite place to get ramen but watching her eat her miso and lose all faith in this place was heartbreaking. So.. Oki bowl is still my top ramen spot of choice. Do not bother wasting your money to eat here unless you're into bland noodles in water. read more

Came here with really high hopes. Too high. The ramen was just alright. The broth was too thick it reminded me of gravy and there's so much kale in the bowl that adds no value. The dumplings we got for checking in were good and our cocktails were fine but we came for the ramen as it is highly reviewed and it didn't live up. Also, the pork is shredded so not your typical pork belly, we didn't like this. read more

When I say Toki Underground is BAE... I mean it with all sincerity!!! Everything about my first visit (soon to be first of many) was amazing. From the eclectic-hipster feels, brought it with everything from upcycled skateboards as foot stools to a faux cherry blossom tree mounting - everything is a vibe! And I haven't even gotten to the food yet - oooo me oooo my, I can definitely say this is my favourite ramen spot in D.C!!! The highlights from my visit yesterday with the food menu were: Charred Brussels Sprouts w/ Tangy Miso, Sansho Dry Rub Ribs & Red Miso Ramen (with add-ons: Berkshire Pork Belly & Shiitake Mushrooms ) Their cocktails are also A-MA-ZING!!! Consider this a 5 star ++ rating!! Hehehe read more

almost walked into a slightly terrifying h street bar trying to find this place upstairs - this hidden little spot is quite the scene, very limited only bar stool seating surrounded with neon lights and endless posters and dive bar decorations - the tapei chicken ramen was delictable but totally bummed me out they wouldn't do grilled chicken instead. the egg was perfectly cooked, the broth flavorful but not too thick, the ginger added a little kick, and the bokchoy added a freshness the fried chicken needed. - the classic toki bowl was adored. their ramen noodles have a slick coating on the outside and were salty and delicious - the chicken thigh appetizer was just weird, disks of chicken with eel sauce served in a cup. tastes totally fine and wasn't expensive, I was surprised and literally hate when sit down restaurants use disposable cutlery or plating - although the energy and food was good, the bartender (who was 1 foot from us the entire evening) was a bit too eccentric and abrasive for my liking....kinda an uncomfortable situation read more

The karaage was to die for! So delicious. I got the mala ramen and it was so flavorful. The edamame was also really tasty! It has a chili crisp/oil thingy on top and it's unlike any edamame I've had before. My friend got the curry ramen with karaage and that looked amazing as well. My only thing is it's pretty cramped in there so I'd imagine it'd be annoying to come during winter time (where would I leave my coat?), but honestly I'd say it's worth it :) I'd come back just for the karaage! read more

Ambiance was cool but quality- super average. read more

There's definitely a wait to get in here. They don't have very many tables available. Get reservations if you want to avoid the wait. The restaurant is on the 2nd floor, so it's easy to miss the restaurant when you are walking on the street. If you want to get your food faster, I'd recommend ordering for pickup. The curry chicken ramen is good albeit a bit heavy. You can get 1.5 meals out of each of the ramen. The fried chicken was delicious and I would definitely recommend ordering that. read more

I got the Taipei Curry Chicken Ramen and it was really good and filling. I couldn't finish the bowl which I felt kind of sad about because it was delicious. The fried chicken has a bit of a kick on the back end which I appreciated. The broth was rich and savory. My partner got the Chicken Mazeman (Brothless) and enjoyed it immensely. We split an order of the battered Cauliflower Steam Bun (4pc), honestly, it was a lot. We probably could have done with the 2 pc, but we weren't sure. The buns were great and the cauliflower was crispy and flavorful. I enjoyed the pickled veggies! read more

Cute spot to grab a drink and a bite with a friend! Not the best place for large groups (anything greater than 2 people). Make sure you make a reservation before coming! Came here with a friend after hearing about all the hype Toki Underground had online. I was a little underwhelmed by this place. SEATING: 3/5 - There's only a few seats available in the restaurant, all of them being bar seating (no actual tables). Be aware that you won't be sitting face-to-face with whoever you go with. Seating was VERY tight, but the restaurant was overall good about being efficient with the space they had. NOT good for groups. SERVICE: 5/5 - Although I did not like how the space was set up for seating, Toki's service overall was great. It was easy to place our orders, as the servers were attentive. And food came relatively fast (~15 min). FOOD: - Taipai Curry Chicken Ramen: 3.5/5 - Unique dish, but I wasn't too wow-ed. The broth tasted like watered down curry. I was expecting the the chicken to be Taiwanese Fried Chicken (since it was called Taipai Ramen), but it definitely was not. Noodles were cooked to perfection though. - Toki Classic Ramen: 4/5 - Good ramen overall! There were a lot of components in this ramen and the flavors of the broth were really good. I actually really liked their food, but for the price we paid, I expected to be wow-ed a little bit more. Still a solid ramen place though. read more

I went to Toki Underground for the first time in years this last week. I was really excited because it was a good day and I'd hyped the Kimichi ramen up to my friend. Unfortunately, the ramen lacked the flavor it once had. I don't what they difference was but the broth did not taste as flavorful and hearty. I was hoping the flavors use needed some time to mesh but the last and first bite lacked flavor. I was definitely bummed! We also ordered the pork dumplings pan fried and they were however just as amazing as I remember. So much so that we ordered a second batch. read more

Cyndy's Bottom Line: Still onolicious after all these years. ~Reservations on RESY ~Take out available ~Street parking Our tastebuds seem to have forgotten just how delicious the ramen and food are at Toki Underground (TU). We were happy to find out that the consistency of the food still remains to be outstandingly tasty! This is what we ate/drank: *Toki Monster -Japanese whisky, vanilla-orange syrup, bitters & grilled pork belly. A well done whiskey cocktail with a bonus of unctuous pork belly grilled to perfection. *Dumplings (6 per order) - pork or vegan. pan fried, deep fried or steamed. So many choices - but the best is the pork dumplings pan fried. The dumplings are amazing as well as the presentation. *Pork Belly Steam Buns (two) - pressure cooked pork cheek, kimchi, scallions, grain mustard-mayo. Yummy pork belly with crispy edges. Love the grain mustard mayo too. CyndyTIp: save the mayo dip for the chicken karaage *Red Miso - red miso infusion, braised pork, greens, soft egg, pickled ginger. A rich deep broth and the succulent braised pork makes for a hearty bowl of goodness. *Shiitake Dan Dan Noodle- (vegan) Broth-less noodle, pan fired shiitakes, miso -chilli paste, sesame, roasted cashews, cilantro, beni shoga, scallions. The noodles are cooked al dente with a nice chew. Layers of flavor profiles and textures. *Karaage Fried Chicken Crispy crunch outside, moist and tender on the inside. ~Highly recommend ~Friendly and attentive service from Noel! read more

Everyone loves a good bowl of ramen right? This intimate & cozy asian fusion restaurant serves everything from ramen, to dumplings & even steamed buns. To all my gluten free followers, they even have a gluten free options so you can join in on the deliciousness! We decided to start off with a few appetizers while we waited for our ramen. The "Pork Dumplings" were extremely tasty & perfectly topped with miso-chill ponzu sauce that added a little kick. We also went with the "Charred Brussel Sprouts" & the "Pickles Plate" which were both delicious. Now for the main event, the noods! I had the "Kimchi" infused ramen only because I can't get enough when it comes to spicy food. This bowl had the perfect balance of tonkotsu (pork) & kimchi then with all of the additional toppings? chefs kiss. My only complaint though is that the music can get a little loud which makes it hard to hear your friends but overall, the food & service was great! read more

Let me paint a picture for you. Your best friend makes reservations for 5. Two bail at the last minute because they "weren't feeling like Ramen (You black list from invites for the next 365 days). You Uber from your hotel and arrive across the street because the uber driver DGAF.... You find it because you're super good at land nav and reading street signs and building numbers. You walk in and up a narrow staircase to a tree house vibe that is filled with positive energy. The host (he's handsome AF) greets you and has the seats ready. Your best friend explains that two people bailed. He says it's no problem and asks for a moment to fix the seats. He's back before you know it and walks you to the bar directly in front of the kitchen with a full view of the bar and rest of the restaurant. It's not big but they know how to work it.... I am no longer a size queen... Within moments of scanning the menu QR code, we are introduced to Noel (Also beautiful with such positive energy and the most grounded vibe). They ask if we have any questions on the menu, take our drink order, and my best friend jumps right in at ordering some small plates for us. Here's what we ordered: Sapporo: 4/5 (the glasses were tiny but chilled so that was nice). Maybe I am not cultured and I'm the problem so take the review for what it is. I would have preferred a pint glass, but I'm a Pisces and people pleaser so I would never EVER have asked for a pint glass. Miso-Garlic butter Corn: 5/5 - light and delicious Pork Dumplings (6 per order): 5/5 - so flavorful!!! Fried Chicken Steamed Buns - order for four: 6/5 - this is the best fried chicken I've ever had. The spices and flavor are extraordinary. Pork Belly Steam Buns (two): 5/5 - so tender and delicious. The pork belly is cooked to perfection Crispy Chicken Thigh: 5/5 - we almost ordered another order. So easy to eat and forget that you have a main course coming. We were strong and resilient. Main Course: Toki Classic x 2: 5/5. The variety of spices and flavor is unheard of on the west coast. I'm so happy we found this place and cannot wait to return to DC because of this place. Pork belly Mazeman: 5/5 - I should have ordered another one to go. I'm glad I did not because the hotel room only had a mini bar and no room in the refrigerator for leftovers. Stupid Ritz Carlton needs to do better. Overall: 5/5!!! For ALL the reasons!!! It's giving "I'll be back"... Thank you to Noel and the amazing and gorgeous team (those bartenders tho!!!). Also, best for last: the all woman kitchen team is the main reason for the 5 stars. The food that they created was so extremely delicious and prepared quickly without jeopardizing flavor and quality. Thank you all. Highly recommend! Be sure to make reservations and treat the staff with kindness and respect AND tip well!!! They deserve it. read more

The mediocre lukewarm ramen is not the part that made me give it a bad review. It's the cleanliness. The place is disgusting. Don't look up at the neon sign at the top of the stairs, it's covered in dust and grime, which is carried on throughout the place. It's dirty, grimy, and gross. Just like the dusty books and toys displayed. If you like dirty dive bar restrooms, you'll like the vibe. To the management: Just take one day, and do a deep clean of the place. Would help a lot. I don't even want to see what it looks like in the kitchen. read more

Very quiet Sunday. Seated right away. Ordered the Toki Monster Cocktail which was well crafted but small in serving size and Pork Pan Fried Dumplings to start. I appreciate how the pork fluff is still incorporated as garnish, flavorful, perfectly cooked. The plate for the dumplings was broken in two places. I didn't mention anything to the host/bartender (as they were the ones rounding the floor) Ordered the Red Miso Ramen, didn't have any taste outside of what you would think boiled pork bones would taste (I understand pork broth is used in all ramen dishes at this location) Nothing jazzed it up, no real effort to make it pop. I look up and see another large chip on the side of the bowl. I bring it to the bartenders attention (who was very short in his interactions which in customer service is perceivably rude) he took the bowl and says I'll switch it out. Same plating which I'm grateful for however the broth is still lack luster. The bartender comes back over to check in, asks if everything is ok, I say "ehhh, it really doesn't taste like anything". He then asks if I want it off the bill and if I want my check. I said yes and got out of there as soon as possible. I'm not too sure if Toki is under new leadership but this isn't it! I've been a Stan of Toki for the last 7 years. Something is off. read more

A+ for ambiance! But unfortunately, the ramen was only so-so for me and the sake was crazy overpriced. I ordered the red miso ramen and added mushrooms, and I also got a flight of sake. The sake flight cost $20 ($2-4 more than a carafe) and contained an unacceptable amount of product, just 2 sips for each of the 4 flavors. I'm not sure why the pours were so stingy, maybe because the bartender was doing some sampling of his own between pours? The ramen came out quickly and the egg was beautiful! Not ajitama, definitely a poached egg, but I really liked it. The broth was flavorful, but unfortunately tasted mostly of the braised Chinese-style pork (as opposed to a roasted pork belly). The noodles were chewy and the yellow style, which I associate with the grocery store and not a $17/bowl restaurant. Multiple people were turned away while I was eating but the restaurant never filled up; definitely make a reservation in advance if you want to give this place a try. But beware, you can likely get much better ramen elsewhere. read more

Take my review with a grain of salt as I'm not a Ramen fan. This is only the second time in my life I've had real Ramen actually. My nephew visited me last week and he's a huge fan of Ramen, so I took him here. The location is small and cramped but cool. The bartender was attentive, and the drinks were ok. One was only half full which I thought was odd. I won't give it rave reviews for drinks at all. The steamed pork dumplings were tasty, and the Toki Classic Ramen was pretty good. Overall, I find Ramen to be tasteless. The broth wasn't thick which I enjoyed as thick broth just fills me up way too much. The portion size isn't outrageous either. Overall, it was a cool experience. We sat at the bar, and I kept elbowing the lady next to me because it's a very cramped space. Not being a Ramen guy, I wouldn't visit here, or any Ramen place for that matter, unless someone I was with was really craving it. However, my nephew said it's great Ramen, so I trust his judgment as he's had it at several places. read more

Service was great and we had reservations right at 5pm when they opened so we got seated immediately. We tried the Toki Classic which was good, but not the best ramen I have had at other establishments. The restaurant is small, has only bar type seating and was a little warm although they had fans. I thought it was a bit pricey for ramen, size smaller than I expected, and drinks also were pricey. Gratuity is also added automatically to your bill. read more

This Taiwanese style ramen place was recommended by a friend! The restaurant is unique in several ways. The entrance is just a small single door that leads you to a stairs. The wooden decoration resonate traditional Japanese sake house. All the sittings are bar design. We ordered Toki Classic ramen, Pork Belly steam buns, and Karaage Fried Chicken. The ramen portion is just right for one person and we shared karaage chicken and the pork belly steam bun. We finished all and are delicious. They do have Taiwanese root beers. And at the check out, they also give out Taiwanese guva candy. The service are prompt and friendly. They knew we had shared dishes. They immediately handed out the small dishes. Here is the tip: Since the restaurant is not too big, they only take reservation. make sure check out their website for their business hour and make reservation! read more

UHMM CALL THIS PLACE RN AND MAKE A RESERVATION. This is a small but AMAZING place to dine at. If you walk in GO EARLY or you might not get a table. Started with the seaweed salad and vegan dumplings. Never had a dumpling with raw garlic as one of the ingredients, so different but very tasty!! The seaweed salad was crunchy and fresh. It was a hot day so I also got a watermelon mint juice - never had this combo before and it was exactly what I needed to cool down in 90 degree weather. For the main meal, I got the vegan ramen. Never had ramen with beet root nor raw mushrooms and the broth wasn't too too spicy - it was a little sweet and savory. It was different but very tasty!! There were many reviews about the Cashew Dan Dan (it's vegetarian) so got that as well. It was the best Dan Dan I've had, had a nutty flavor which paired well with the noodles!! 10000/10, if you're in DC COME HERE but make sure you have reservations!!!! It gets packed quick read more

From the high number of great reviews and how close it was to where we were staying, decided to give it a go! The place is SUPER SMALL. If you have claustrophobia, this is a challenging place to eat if it's busy. Service was great! It may have been because it wasn't super busy at the time, but our server was nice and was quick with cleaning up and everything. Now to the food. We got the gyoza and chicken steam buns for appetizers. The gyoza was simple, maybe from frozen packaging, but tasted good and the sauce completed it. The steam buns were delicious, mostly because their fried chicken was really good. Highly recommend it. The ramen was disappointing. It wasn't bad, but it was okay. That's it. For a place that's supposed to be about their ramen, was kinda expecting more than basic. But at least it didn't taste bad. We would recommend this place for their appetizers and fried chicken. Ramen, not as much. read more
