    Toribro Paitan Ramen, Gyoza 6 Piece & Kimchee
    Alvin A.

    Was in need of a quick dinner and so I walked around Hell's Kitchen for some ideas. Have not been back to Japan for several months now, and I think it was clear to me that Japanese ramen was on my mind! Once I entered the restaurant, I was quickly seated by the server and she told me to have a seat right at the bar. Before ordering, I kindly asked if they had a restroom, thank god they had one. Everything felt like I was right in Japan. The small size of the restroom, there were at least 10 seats available, and the chef you could watch while he prepared and cook your meal! Once I placed my order, my Gyoza was delivered within 5 minutes, another minute my KimChee was delivered. Last but not least was my bowl of ramen! Oh how this was perfect and I couldn't have asked for more. Other items on the menu l'd like to try on another visit, they also serve Beer but I wasn't in the mood for alcohol that evening. This would be a perfect spot for Happy Hour as their signage's shows that they have it M-F 12-6:30pm :-) For those who like to dine out with large groups, this may be a tough spot. If you like good Japanese ramen, this will hit the spot. Right in the middle of HK, it's a perfect place and the price is right. They do accept Tap, credit card and $.

    We love to visit Toribro when we come to NY and this was another standout visit! The gyo-za is a must have appetizer and we also got some sake to pair. Love the paitan ramen- I got the Mega and my husband got the Mega deluxe. I honestly think this is the best ramen broth that I've had- it's just so rich and delicious. And they are generous with their toppings. The decide was fast and we were seated quickly even though they were busy. Love this little spot (and definitely sit at the bar if you can). We will definitely be back!

    Great service but small space -- we went mid afternoon and place was packed. Husband had the miso ramen and I had the tantan noodles. My food was spicy -- delicious. Husband enjoyed his bowl. I don't think the noodles here are that great, honestly, but the broth is pretty flavorful.

    I'm honestly not sure how we first came across Toribro, but we find ourselves coming back every time we're in New York. It has that underground Japanese izakaya restaurant vibe, which I absolutely adore. The Toribro Deluxe Mega is a chicken paitan soup that is loaded with pork belly, chashu, fried garlic, garlic paste, egg, scallions, and nori. The soup consistency runs a bit thicker than most, which packs an incredibly umami depth of flavor. Super nourishing and hits all the right spots, especially if you go on a rainy day. Docking off 1 star due to wait times; it is a very small hole in the wall type of establishment so there isn't much seating to begin with. Their service also seems to follow a certain organized structure as well, as we tried to place our order right when we got seated but our server (who was the only waiter) told us we needed to wait as she went about tending to other tables for awhile before even setting down our water, etc. I'd say make sure you're not in a rush when you come here, but it is worth it.

    Their prices seem lower but that's cause eggs and other toppings are add ons with additional costs. Flavors are solid and interior is cozy, with a counter friendly for solo diners. Doesnt stand out as there are so many ramen spots in Manhattan but solid if you're in the area!

    Quaint little underground ramen shop. Not too busy at lunch, if you want to avoid a wait. Such great broth! Gyoza: A nice crispy lacey bottom. Love the crunch against the steamed topside. A perfect mix of textures and tastes. Toribro Deluxe Mega Ramen: Pork overload, in a good way! Pork like three different ways, all delicious. Set aside a right and cloudy pork broth. The noodles were nice and springy. A serious ramen contender in Hell's Kitchen.

    Stumbled across Toribro and would recommend stopping by - but only order the ramen! My friend ordered the Toribro Deluxe Mega ramen, and this was definitely the star of the show. The homemade broth was delicious, not overly salty and was very flavorful. The meat fell apart and was tender, perfect for a large bowl of ramen! I ordered the Pork Chra Siu Mayo Don. The meat and made-in-house mayo were fantastic, but the dish overall felt too light and fell a bit short for me. I ordered the Salmon onigiri, as I was still hungry - But this also fell short for me; There was not a lot of filling and the onigiri rice felt too sticky and difficult to eat. Additional points for the service and space itself - Our waitress was very attentive and kind. They do a great job here of churning customers in and out to keep business moving, yet not making you feel rushed. The space is small and a walk down from the street, but you do not feel cramped while sitting there.

    We got the gyoza and chicken ramen and added an egg. The gyoza was alright. It wasn't that flavorful or had enough fillings for me. The chicken broth was phenomenal! So hearty and unique (in nyc). It wasn't overly fatty, so I wasn't nauseous after eating it. I got the wavy noodles with mine and my partner got the straight noodles. As a person who prefers straight noodles, the wavy noodles were much better in this ramen. The wavy noodles were cooked perfectly Al dente with an eggy flavor. It's the best wavy noodles I've had. The egg was also cooked perfectly and well seasoned. Maybe next time I'll get the pork char siu since the chicken was a bit over cooked in some parts, but I didn't mind it! They get a 5 stars for how unique and delicious the chicken broth is. The chefs were speaking Japanese, so it's authentic!

    This is my first time coming and try Toribro. One odlf my friend recommended this to us and she's not wrong! It's so good and so comforting. Service is really good. The waiter is so friendly and she helped us to open Ramune Overall we love this place!

    This was an interesting ramen option since it was made with chicken broth. I had the Toribro Mega. With chicken broth, sometimes the broth can smell too "chickeny", for lack of a better word, as if the chicken is not fresh. This was not the case here, it was not overly greasy or too light. The bowl was filling. If pork is too heavy for you the broth here might be a good option.

    A hidden gem we just discovered in our neighborhood! This cozy, authentic Japanese spot is tiny but full of charm. I like that they use chicken broth for most of their ramen. I ordered the Toribro deluxe mega ramen, and the broth was rich, flavorful, not too salty or overpowering. The noodles had a nice chew, though they were slightly more undercooked than I prefer. My boyfriend ordered the vegan option, truffle miso with vegetables, which was also delicious but a little salty. We also tried the seaweed salad which was fresh and delicious. The service was good--no complaints. The beer was served cold, just as it should be. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu options. Great find and definitely worth a visit.

    Ambiance (4/5): This is a classic Japanese ramen shop feel--tight high top bar seating that overlooks the kitchen. There are a few tables on the side as well. It was cool seeing the solo chef prepare all the moving parts. Sadly, I did not feel like the seating was very comfortable, as the bottom part moved around on its own and there is no backing. Service (5/5): Came in on a Friday afternoon and there was only 2 or 3 other solo patrons so I was attended to throughout my experience. Toriburo Spicy (3/5): The noodles were a bit on the undercooked side so a little more chewy (which I like/prefer!) I like the homemade spicy paste that gave the dish another level of flavor! For the price point, I was definitely hoping that the pork charsiu piece would be a little more generous in portion size--however it's really only 2 small slices. The flavor was there and a good blend of meat to fat ratio but just really to meager. The dish also does not come with any egg. I think I was hoping for a bit more flavor in the broth to wow me but it's admittedly hard to compare paitan to tonkontsu. Happy Hour pricing Monday to Friday 12-6:30pm during the summer looks like $3-4 discounts off beers/sake!

    Came here with friends and ordered the Deluxe Mega ramen, which comes standard with wheat noodles. This dish is excellent choice if wanting a surprising amount of meats compared to other ramen places for the same price. The drink prices are a bit steep for the area though.

    I came here for a quick preshow meal but unfortunately it wasn't quite as good as I hoped it would…read morebe. We started with the pork belly appetizer which was recommended and stated on the menu indicating it's their featured dish. It was the biggest disappointment as it was extremely fatty with large chunks of fat, while the lean portions were dry. It didn't look very appetizing. The dumplings were just okay--they had decent flavor but I was hoping for a crispier texture. I ordered the Zebra Ramen. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, but the broth was much saltier than I would have preferred. The pat of butter felt unnecessary and made the broth overly rich without adding much depth. The chashu was on the small side and also quite fatty and I assume it's the same as the appetizer but was sliced instead of in large chunks. The marinated egg had good flavor, although the yolk was a little more cooked than I typically like. Another thing is the pork belly appetizer came with an egg. I wish the server would tell us so we didn't have to add it to our ramen with an extra charge. The nori was also completely soggy by the time it reached our table. Overall, the noodles were the only highlight of the meal and the rest were very underwhelming. It's definitely not a place I would recommend.

I was NOT a fan of their mushroom friend rice. It was a plain white rice with sauteed mushrooms and corn. That's it. I expected a bit more and fresh ingredients especially for the price. I thought the rice would be at least been fried? I asked for some soy sauce and spice just to add a bit more flavor to it. However, our service was great and I cannot say enough kind words to the staff. The rest of our company enjoyed their food. My partner ordered a ramen which he enjoyed and wished there was more ramen options available for being a ramen (advertised) restaurant. Overall it was a good experience to try!

    Beyond the usual ramen and sushi--an incredible Japanese spot!…read more When friends suggest Japanese food, it's usually the same rotation of ramen, basic sushi, or curry. This place completely breaks the mold! The chefs here put genuine thought, balance, and incredible freshness into every single dish. The space is small and cozy--perfect for groups of 2 to 4--and our server, Alisa, was attentive, friendly, and never pushy. Here is a breakdown of what we ordered: Sake Flight & Sakura Mori: Smooth, light, and the perfect start to the evening. Ankimo (Monkfish Liver): Super innovative and a total standout compared to other spots. Paired brilliantly with the ponzu-wasabi-soy combination. Uni: Exceptionally fresh with that natural, clean sweetness you always hope for. Toro Tataki: Pure summer vibes! Beautifully fresh sashimi topped with the perfect crispiness. Scallop Roll: Fresh with a great bounce to the texture. Karaage: Fried to perfection--super crispy on the outside, incredibly juicy on the inside, and paired with a delicious house-made mustard dipping sauce. Age Tofu: Super soft texture with a wonderfully balanced flavor profile. Takoyaki: Generously packed with octopus. The sauce was a bit heavy-handed, but if you love takoyaki sauce like I do, it hits the spot! Pork Katsu Curry: Crispy, perfectly fried pork chop balanced out seamlessly by the rice and rich curry sauce. Kurobuta Sausage: More of a casual bar-style bite that felt a little out of place next to the other refined dishes, but saved by that great house mustard. Black Sesame Ice-Cream & Fried Sweet Potato Dessert: We usually skip dessert when we order this much food, but this combination was an incredible, must-order finish to the night! You can tell the kitchen takes immense pride in their craft. I can't wait to come back!
