TONCHIN BROOKLYN

Very cool natural wine bar with fantastic food. Ramen is excellent, noodles are cooked perfectly with the perfect chew, broth is rich umami. "Mini" ramen is the perfect size. Interesting cocktail list. Chill vibes. High tops for two are available for walk-ins. Highly recommend!

On this cold winter day I was in quite a quandary about whether to go for pizza or ramen. Walking through Williamsburg I tried going to LEO on Havemeyer Street but found it to be crowded. Unable to get pizza I decided to head for Tonchin since I found their food and service to be impressive at their Midtown Manhattan location. Upon scanning their menu I saw that they had a pizza ramen made in collaboration with the very pizzeria I tried to go to. The ramen had a thinner broth than the spicy Tan tan ramen I had but the it was flavorful. The tea and appetizer was just as good. I'm grateful that I was able mollify my craving for pizza and ramen simultaneously.

@tonchinbrooklyn has some of my favorite ramen in NYC! Their noodles and broth tasted super authentic and had me reminiscing on my time in Tokyo back in 2018. Highball Shiitake Hummus Wagyu Yakitori TONCHIN CLASSIC TOKYO TONKOTSU RAMEN (homemade noodles, tokyo tonkotsu broth, roasted cha-shu pork, nitamago egg, scallion, menma, nori seaweed)

Really lovely dining experience. The food was spectacular. I went for restaurant week and got a tasting menu that was really great.

Had a wonderful dining experience at this ramen place! We didn’t have reservations but managed to get seated immediately upon their 5:30 opening, avoiding any wait despite a growing line. The menu was a treasure trove, starting with oysters. We tried both types offered, with the non-Island Creek variety standing out for its sweeter, meatier taste, enhanced by a delightful yuzu umami vinaigrette. The wagyu carpaccio (coulotte) was okay, though it made me realize that thinly sliced raw beef isn’t really my thing. The curry+cheese wings, on the other hand, were a hit – perfectly flavored without being too intense. The grilled hamachi was as expected, but the ramen selections were where this place truly shined. We had the Tonchin Classic Tokyo Tonkotsu Ramen, the Smoked Dashi Ramen with its unique smokiness, and the Spicy Goma Tsukemen, which was mildly spicy. The texture of their ramen noodles was exceptional – curly and springy, just how good ramen should be! We wrapped up with the Tokyo Banana dessert, an amazing treat that wasn’t overly sweet and reminded me of the authentic Tokyo Banana snack. The service was fast and efficient, making our dining experience smooth and enjoyable. While not everything was to my personal taste, the overall quality and variety of the dishes were impressive. A must-visit for ramen lovers and those looking for a taste of Japanese cuisine with a twist!

Fantastic food and service! The rice balls were more traditional in the sense that they werent dripping in flavor. Each part of it had flavor but combined, it was more subtle. Everyone has their own flavor preferences though. Their spicy ramen was phenomenal. The broth had great depths of flavor but wasn't too heavy. Their noodles were freshly made and were thick enough to retain the broths flavor but not too thick that it felt like udon. I always judge a ramen place for their eggs. Here, it was a perfectly soft boiled marinated egg that complimented the dish. I tried my first high ball here. I don't have a reference point but I could tell they made an effort by the fresh lemon. Their fresh ginger ale was to die for. A fantastic combination with their food and fantastic for the stomach after a heavy meal. The staff was extremely kind and helpful, even sneaking me an extra candied ginger that garnished their ginger ale and was extremely delicious. If you're looking for a fantastic ramen shop I would highly recommend this. There was seating that had a date atmosphere in the front of the restaurant and an open concept in the back for friends and family. Would recommend!

One of the better ramens in Williamsburg. Their chicken wings are very tasty as well. I recommend getting their lunch deal if you’re hungry! Last time I was here, I had the miso ramen which is vegan. The ramen was good but I will be honest that I’ve liked the tonkotsu much more. The design of the place is minimalist and beautiful. Will be coming back for sure!
