    cute toppu dish!
    Christine L.

    Toppu is an underrated hidden gem in Quincy! Recently opened and located in South Quincy, Toppu serves Japanese cuisine, ranging from ramen to sushi to omurice. First, we got the vegetable tempura to share. It was light and crispy, pairing well with the sauce they provided. My personal favorite was the sweet potato tempura! They also offer a terrific sushi combo special; 2 rolls for $15 or 3 rolls for $19.45. We got two 3-roll sushi combos and I personally opted for the Spicy Salmon, Spicy Scallop, and Shrimp Tempura rolls. My favorite roll was the Spicy Scallop roll, but all the rolls were amazing! The Spicy Scallop Roll is a MUST TRY here. The fish is so fresh and they give a lot of fish (perfect fish-to-rice ratio!). I love how the tempura was crispy in the sushi rolls as well. Overall, the quality of the food is solid too, and it's a great place to get some tasty sushi. There are probably about 8 tables max at Toppu, so it's a great spot to grab some takeout. They have their own parking lot and there's tons of street parking right in front of the restaurant. However, I definitely recommend dining in though! The restaurant is clean and cute. I love how they have Toppu dishes and glasses. The staff is also very friendly. One thing to note though (which is the only reason I'm giving Toppu 4 stars instead of 5) is that the service can be a bit slow when they're busy. It took some time to get our food and the bill. There was only one waiter working as well. I'm sure once they've been open for a while they'll figure it out! I recommend giving Toppu a try! I'll be back soon to try their ramen and omurice.

    I'm going to be honest with you all: I love ramen! After a disappointing experience at another place, I was worried. I was worried that I had fallen out of love with it, and/or that my palate changed for the worse. Still, me being me, when I discovered Toppu was open, I made it a point to stop in and give it a try. This time I was not afraid of the heat, and ordered the spicy "Volcano" Ramen. I've had my tail absolutely handed to me a handful of times, but I decided to trust the server that it wasn't crazy hot. Well, I am glad to report this was the best bowl of ramen I have had in a long time. It was so good, even though it has been less than 24 hours, I am tempted to go back and order the same thing again. This is one of those rare cases when I cannot think of anything negative to say. Yes, this means I have experienced perfection! I have to start with the broth: the broth had the perfect amount of salt, was very savory, and had a hint of extremely pleasant sweetness. True to the server's word, the heat level was on point. It was spicy enough to be noticeable, but not at all overpowering or overwhelming. The definition of pleasant heat. The Chashu was also great! It was grilled/roasted instead of being boiled, and it had a good balance of fatty and meaty. It had absorbed a little bit of sweetness from the broth which worked wonders with the protein. For the noodles, these were cooked to perfection with just a teeny tiniest amount of firmness for texture. The egg was also cooked perfectly. For the veggies: I love the use of bean sprouts and bamboo shoots for added freshness and crunch. The use of Nori (which I think also counts as a veggie?) was also excellent and added a new dimension to the bowl. Finally, for the service, other than me wishing that an empty water glass was noticed a bit faster, no complaints here. The service was kind, polite, and speedy. When it comes to the location, it is clean and bright! They did a truly lovely job renovating in rehabbing the Dunkin' Donuts that used to be here. With this, I am absolutely a fan of Toppu, and I'm going to make a point to stop in at least one more time before I leave the state for good!

    Another new ramen shop was added to the Quincy Center location. The place is small, with around 6 to 8 tables. We got here before 6 p.m., so it wasn't busy. More people came as we were about to finish our meal. The waitress was friendly, but she made an error on our order, and the kitchen might forget the order as well when it's too busy. Affordable price, don't expect high quality. It is a place for quick meals, but they serve slowly once it gets too busy. We order the following: Classic Japanese Omurice with Katsu Deep Fried Pork served with Miso Soup--they forgot about the katsu and served the rice first. It does take a little longer to make the tornado eggs. Also, they forgot about the miso soup after they served the katsu, and we nearly finished the meal. Adding $3 for the katsu, it worth it (Did not take picture of the katsu and miso soup since they served separately) Toppu Tonkutsu - chewy ramen, but the chashu was too thick and soft. Even the meat and fat were balanced. The soup base was thick and too salty. Volcano Tonkutsu is spicy, chewy ramen. I wish the chashu were thinly cut, and the soup base was too thicker than the nonspicy version. My favorite was the egg. Too much msg, I drank whole cup of water. Volcano roll - not too much rice and huge shrimp tempura, too much tempera flake and little cooked scallop and crabstick. They added bonito which ruined the taste. Spider roll - nothing really special Eel avocado roll--but they gave us eel cucumber. We did not bother changing it since the chef took too long to make it. The sushi was served after nearly finishing the rice and the ramen.

    New sushi restaurant in Quincy that just opened. The place is modern and clean. The restaurant is small, there are about 5-8 tables. Food breakdown: Volcano Tonkutsu (Spicy): It had a slight kick of spice. The ramen was surprisingly pretty good as I usually dislike ramen cause it is overly salty or the broth is way too thick. I would honestly order this again. Spider Roll: Crispy soft shelled crabs. Flavor was decent. Alaskan Roll: Rice was a bit cold (this was for all the maki rolls ordered). Sushi rice should be room temperature or slightly warm. They used the perfect amount of rice. The fish was so little, I was honestly just tasting the avocado and cucumber. Eel avocado: Again very little fish. Roll was mid. Takoyaki: Over cooked, takoyaki was very dark in color. There is a small piece of octopus. Missing scallions and ginger. Also takoyaki needs more sauce. Overview--I would stick with the ramen and maybe just get a roll if you are craving for sushi as well. The maki rolls are pretty average. Staffs were friendly and place was super clean though. Would come back for ramen only.

    What I ordered...

    Disappointed.. Half the meal was either raw chicken or some other type of meat. It was pink and rubbery. Either way it was def not fried chicken as advertised.

    My partner and I ordered a classic Japanese omurice combo w miso soup (plus katsu pork and curry sauce), takoyaki, karaage don (plus black pepper sauce), and any 3 rolls (spicy tuna, spicy salmon, eel avocado) - TASTE: 4/5 - twas better than anticipated! Both sauces, the curry sauce for the omurice and the black pepper sauce for the karaage, were super tasty. The spicy tuna and spicy salmon were actually seasoned and spicy, unlike other places TEXTURE: 5/5 - the omurice was more of a flat tornado-style egg vs. rice wrapped in egg or a fluffy egg cut open to reveal its runny center. Still enjoyed it though, plus the crunchy katsu pork and breaded takoyaki PRICE: 4/5 - total came to $76, more than I expected SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - satisfied us for dinner and still had leftovers SERVICE: 3/5 - ordered online via Chowbus and our food was ready/on time when we arrived 20min later. The space was empty at ~5pm on a Saturday. Unfortunately realized we were given a chicken teriyaki dish, instead of our karaage don, when we got home ATMOSPHERE: 4/5 - was only inside briefly for pickup, but Toppu is bright and cozy w Japanese decor. Definitely a departure from the former Dunkin Donuts space lol PARKING: 5/5 - ample parking in their dedicated lot

    Inside was cute, decorative and has the feel of street vendor. Pricing is comparable to other venues. Sashimi and sushi: tasted fresh but wasn't anything unique to write about. For the Chefs Sashimi platter it came with a tuna roll, we requested it to be spicy tuna and they had to up-charge $1 for that. Usually other venues would just count it as an easy switch, not sure why they up-charge. The nigiri was also odd, they use the mayo as the paste to glue the fish to the rice, I'm used to wasabi being used. I don't like the mayo as glue. Ramen: passable, I didn't try it but the kids liked it. The soup looked creamy and the noodles looked on point. The charsui was tender and juicy. Mochi ice cream: 1 order comes with 2. Save your money and go to Hmart down the street, that's most likely where it came from. Service: was fine, but the waitress didn't look happy to be there. Overall, the quality and price doesn't beat the competitions down the street. Tip, the location of the restaurant is confusing. If you see that big Dunkin' Donuts sign, it is there! Just find parking on the street.

    I'm glad I decided last minute to come try toppu after driving by 4x a week. When we walked in it was nice and bright and clean, the decor was refreshing. The staff is welcoming and attentive. The menu was easy to read. My niece picked a Katsu ramen, the deep fried pork was huge, crispy and thick. My husband got the roasted duck ramen and added chasu. I ordered the twice fried ribs, it was crispy from the 2nd batter coating. I wished it had more of the sticky brown sauce. I loved the fall of the bone meat. For sushi I got the red dragon roll, it was very filling, but lacked something. For me the portions were pretty big, I was able to share and taste their ramen. We were able to pack up some items to bring home. I can't wait to come back and try the duck tacos and the omurice!

    Classic Japanese Omurice with Katsu Deep Fried Pork
    Tony T.

    This was the first time I heard of omurice and it was labeled as a signature item. I didn't realize it was nothing more than just rice with omelette on top. I got it with the curry sauce and pork katsu. Overall it was good and not bad for $20, but I wish the portion sizes would be a little bigger.

I would go to the original Brookline location but this one is a little easier for me to get to. My go-to is the OG miso ramen, It's very rich and hearty, leaving you quite satisfied after eating. If you want a "cleaner" flavor, then shio is a good choice. The portions are rather generous and they don't skimp on the toppings. You actually get a 1/2 egg included, which is becoming rare these days. The karaage (fried chicken) isn't the crispiest I've ever had but it is really flavorful and tender. The marinating and using boneless chicken thighs lends itself to having those two traits. Service is generally friendly and prompt. The area inside is a little dark, and uses artificial lighting to stay somewhat bright, but it's fine. This is a less cramped space than the Brookline location and since it's in a strip mall, there's parking. The area is rather devoid of ramen shops, so this was a much-welcomed addition.

I tried, but they are intriguing. The main downside is the broth quality compared to the price. There are definitely more authentic ramen spots in the city if you are a purist. You can tell the base is not a homemade tonkatsu broth, which is a bit of a letdown for what they charge. Still, it is a decent spot for a quick meal. * Tempura Ramen (7/10): The tempura is a total highlight because it is served on a separate plate to keep it from getting soggy, though the broth itself is fairly standard.
