We're visiting from the USA. Our cab driver recommended this place. When we arrived we ordered from the kiosk and then the hostess was super nice and helped us with completing the order as it's very different from anything we have in the USA. Every seat was busy but people quickly ate their food and made room for new visitors. We sat down and started chowing down. I've never found ramen that I liked. This was special. I devoured the noddles, the meat was cooked perfectly and broth was so flavorful and delicious. I would eat here multiple times a week if I lived here. I really enjoyed the experience. Thanks TONCHIN!

Order via self-service kiosk. They accept cash or credit card payment. Had a bowl of miso ramen. Food was good.

The noodles were cooked perfectly. The broth is flavourful. The meat was perfectly cooked too. It was one of the best I had while I was in tokyo.

Just as expected! We wanted pork broth ramen and that's what we got! You order using the vending machine but it has pictures and was easy to use. Service was quick. Just like another review said it's mostly men 😅. They do offer a chilli oil, spicy soy bean paste, and spicy pickled vegetables at the seat. They were all good additions. We did come at an odd time, 330 to 4pm, so there was no wait.

I appreciate the cleanliness of Tonchin. The kitchen floor of a typical ramen shop is usually messy but theirs is not (or at least what’s viewable from my angle). Aside from being well-kept, Tonchin looks very inviting with its bright lights. It also has a team of three efficient staff in the evening. Their tonkotsu ramen looks exactly like the picture displayed on the ticket vending machine and tastes good. I think you’ll also enjoy like I did the unusually-shaped chashu, seasoned menma, and ajitama, along with the straight noodles that are boiled to just the right firmness. I am wondering why some reviews here say otherwise (but I do agree that the miso ramen isn’t as good as the tonkatsu ramen). Maybe I don’t have much experience yet in knowing what makes an excellent ramen excellent. Or maybe the recipe changed and the current one pales in comparison with the previous one. I should mention that the store has counter seats only and is patronized mostly, if not all, by male customers.
