" What a fantastic dining experience! I was thoroughly impressed by Tonchin's ramen. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, and the noodles had the perfect chewiness that I love. I also appreciated the cozy atmosphere which made it perfect for a date night. The service was top-notch! Our server was attentive and made excellent recommendations. I can't wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonchin is the real deal! The depth of flavor in their ramen is reminiscent of authentic experiences I’ve had in Japan. The only issue I faced was the slight wait time during peak hours, but the quality of service made up for it. The ambiance was perfect for a night out. Overall, I'm excited to go back and try more future dishes on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" I finally made it to Tonchin and it did not disappoint! The atmosphere felt upscale yet inviting—a perfect setting for both casual meals and special occasions. I had the smoked dashi ramen and was amazed at how well the flavors were balanced; it was unique but still had a classic feel to it. Service was impeccable throughout our visit, as our server was attentive without being overwhelming. Definitely recommend trying the desserts too; the matcha kakigori was to die for. Can't wait to bring back some friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Simply put, this is the best ramen place I've ever been to in LA! The quality and flavors are incredible. I tried the classic tonkotsu and it did not disappoint—so rich and creamy! The service was quick and friendly, and the atmosphere was perfect for a casual dining experience. I even enjoyed the mango shaved ice for dessert, which was the perfect end to our lunch. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonchin truly impressed me! The food was divine—the ramen had layers of distinctly rich flavors, and the extra toppings just elevated it further. The vibe was classy yet casual enough that you can just come in after work. Service was attentive without being bothersome. The only downside was the pricing, which is on the higher end, but the quality justifies it. " (*Curated Review*)

" My first visit to Tonchin was delightful! I loved the contemporary design of the restaurant, which created a great vibe before I even ordered. The ramen was authentic, with a robust broth that made each slurp delicious. The service was impeccable—efficient and welcoming. I only wish the portion sizes were a little larger for sharing family-style. Overall, this place is a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently visited Tonchin and had some expectations based on their Manhattan location. While the food was good, I found the ramen broth to be less rich compared to what I had in NYC. The ambiance was lovely, very contemporary and cozy. Service was friendly but a bit slow at times. The mango shaved ice was a highlight and quite refreshing, though. Overall, a decent place but not quite what I hoped for. " (*Curated Review*)
