Don’t worry: there’s plenty of time to read the menu while waiting to slip into the underground sliver of a restaurant that is Totto Ramen (with seats for only 20 at a time). I’ve eaten only one thing here, the spicy ramen, and it seemed to me a perfectly balanced bowl of tender, springy noodles, smoky char siu pork, and chili oil—spicy enough to make me sweat but not overwhelmingly. (I had the regular spicy ramen, marked with two hot peppers on the menu, and not the “extreme” spicy, marked with nine peppers.) Here’s the Time Out review, which goes into a bit more detail about the whole experience.
Yum! Thanks for taking me there the other day... thoroughly enjoyed it. Wouldn't even have minded waiting longer than the 25 minutes we did wait when we got there only 5 minutes after the opening at noon... I'm already hoping to go again soon since reading the review has made me hungry to try different items. Great find!!
ReplyDeleteNext time, the nine-pepper ramen!
