" Looking for something satisfying? Toribashi offers a casual dining experience with quick service. The ramen was good, but I found it a bit bland compared to other places. The environment was pleasant though, making it a decent spot if I’m nearby. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the chicken karaage as a side, which was good but could use more seasoning. The miso ramen I tried was flavorful but did not pack as much of a punch as I had hoped. It’s a nice little spot, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit frequently. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was eager to visit Toribashi after hearing so many good things, but my experience was a bit disappointing. The ramen I had was not particularly flavorful; it felt like it lacked depth. What really bothered me was the service - we waited a while before someone came to take our order. The setting was nice, though, so I might give it another shot for the sake of the reviews. " (*Curated Review*)

" Toribashi has everything I need for a perfect lunch. The noodle texture was excellent, and I was pleasantly surprised by the portion size. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, and I was seated quickly. Overall incredibly enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I loved the atmosphere at Toribashi! It felt welcoming and vibrant. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen, and it lived up to the hype: creamy, rich broth with flavorful toppings. While I appreciated the serving size, I wish I had more options for customization. Overall, a solid place for ramen lovers! " (*Curated Review*)

" The self-service concept is great and made ordering a breeze. I went for their vegan ramen, and while I appreciated the fresh ingredients, the flavor was somewhat lacking. The staff was friendly; just wish the food had a bit more zing. Atmosphere-wise, it’s a cozy spot, so might try something different next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the miso without knowing it was one of their specialties. The flavor was rich, and I loved the veggies mixed in. The staff was prompt and quite nice! I would highly recommend coming here if you’re a ramen enthusiast. " (*Curated Review*)
