    pork buns are great! so is the spicy miso ramen but the broth is a little thick because of the miso paste. I like that they give you the spicy sauce on the side so you can cater to your own taste.

    The mega paitan is delicious. It comes with different meat choices with the noodles, all of which are very delicious.

    Totto Spicy "Nibo" Ramen - spicy fish flavored rayu chili oil with paiten ramen, topped with pork, scallions, bean sprouts, onion and cabbage in a rich chicken broth. Get this. Flavor with a kick.

    If you're interested in a lot of meat, get the Mega Ramen - its topped w/ a variety of char siu pork, garlic, onion, bean sprouts & scallions in a chicken broth. A lot of pork!

    Shorter lines than the Totto Ramen on 9th Ave, but same amazing ramen. A bit more seating, in the form of barstools and long tables.

    Service is quick esp if you sit at the bar. Watch them prepare the ramen right in front of you. Complex broth with great textured noodles.

    Awesome spot. The mega spicy Paitan was so flavorful. Broth was top notch. A lil garlic heavy but one of my favs

    Great ramen but a bit of an awkward set-up with seats along the counter and waiting times. The pork buns were amazing though!!!

    Totto Spicy Ramen is still the best bowl of ramen in the city. But if you want more heat, you can get the extra spicy ramen and ask for the spicy sauce on the side.

    This is the Broiled Char Siu Pork - house specialty pork broiled and placed over a bed of vegetables. There's enough to share for two.

    Pretty good ramen, albeit a bit pricey. Broth is good and rich, but could be a bit more flavorful. Noodles were a good al dente. Sit in the back for AC because it's hot at the bar. Cash only.

    Chicken ramen was superb. Get the poached egg and corn with it. The pork char siu was excellent too.

    Less of an ordeal than Ippudo. Cozy laid back vibe, often possible to just walk in and the ramen is great.

    A great chain known for chicken broth ramen opens a midtown east location! Same great taste with less wait. Cash only.

    Work in the city? Prepare to wait about 30 to 40 minutes for a seat. Start with a pork bun, unbuckle your belt and annihilate a MEGA RAMEN. Be sure to warn your coworkers and the toilet prior though.

    You know the ramen is good when the broth is the best part! Great prices. And the sake is great as well

    Their spicy veggie ramen has one of the best vegetarian broths around (& I've tried a bunch).

    This relatively new location on the east side is not as good as the original one in Hell's Kitchen, but good enough for a bowl of ramen.

    Best broth in the city. If you would combine it with ippudo's noodles it would be a perfect!

    Delicious ramen, wonderful experience. Super tiny place, but unbelievably fast service. This is what a true noodle stand feels like in Japan!

    Spicy paitan was delicious! Savory broth and a tender chicken breast on top. One of the best noodles I've had in NYC.

    I like this location better than the original because the food tastes cleaner and better. But they need to still work on their service and work out the new restaurant kinks.

    Fantastic ramen. Try the spicy or extra spicy. Don't let the wait scare you off - they move customers in and out quickly.

    Quick service and delicious noodles. Spicy miso ramen is definitely a winner. Will hit your ramen craving for sure.

    The ramen here is what's up. If you're starving, get the mega ramen - it's huge! Quite possibly the best in the city. 🍜

    Spicy miso ramen is where it's at. Easily eat it three times a week. I'm gross, but whatever cuz it's so good. The pork buns are meh though.

    If you want pork ramen, go upstairs to Hide-Chan (same owners); if you want chicken stay here for the best bowl of chicken soup ever.

    Just like the original but so much more space! I'd recommend the Paitan ramen with pork and a side of pork buns, yum!

    The ramen is great. But you better in finish it because there's no option to doggie bag it. Combined with cash only, they are really low on flexibility.

    Best miso ramen ever! Small and crowd place but it worths. People usually eat fast so I don't think it's a big waiting.

    They have the boiled egg down to a perfected science. Seriously, I know it's just an egg, but they cook it perfectly every time.

    Paitan ramen, Miso ramen, and spicy ramen are all amazing. Also get some pork buns to start.

    The food comes out really quickly and the broth is always on point! They have vegetarian broth for vegetarians.

    I feel like totto ramen on the west side have a better broth but the crowd it's less so better seating and bigger space.

    An excellent place to go if the wait at Hide-Chan Ramen is too long. I love the cucumbers appetizer.

    Another great Totto Ramen store. Try Hide-Chan next door for something equally fantastic, if not better.

    Enjoyed the spicy nibo. Good broth, but a little too much pepper. Egg and pork were a great addition to the dish.

    Located below its sister, Hide-Chan, and both owned by Bobby Munekata, come here if you want chicken broth. Go upstairs for the pork broth.

    I ordered chicken Paitan ramen,love the broth and noodle,but the chicken breast is too dry and tough,and the onion is too pungent and too much in this bowl.

    The spicy vegetable ramen is a bit disappointing. For one, it's not spicy. All you taste is pepper. As for the veggies, it was like eating a toss salad with broth.
