Incredibly good tonkatsu ramen!! Broth smelled great and delivered. The spicy tonkatsu though, didn’t deliver nearly as well as the original. A bit dissapointed on that front, but otherwise, the rest of the restaurant delivered excellently. Really nice employees as well.

We were told by the staff the Vegetarian Creamy Ramen is the current vegan option. The vegan ramen is creamy with a coconut broth. We did the buckwheat noodle sub. Very satisfying dish, with a good balance of broth, veggies and noodles. I would order again. We added spicy sauce. Staff was friendly and eager to help with the self ordering kiosk.

The main dishes (ramen, rice bowl) taste decent but the appetizers are quite small portions.

Price is outdated in google. Ramen is about 20 dollars with extra add ons for 5 dollars to 6 dollars each. No garlic options, ramen has no customization when ordering. The spicy tonkotsu broth just tasted spicy no collagen rich taste at all that you get with that type of broth.

The spicy ramen wasn’t so spicy but tasty yet not salty. Good job for this bowl of ramen. The spicy chicken was a little too dry but tasty. Definitely will be back for ramens ?

glad i stopped here for lunch today! the restaurant was very clean and organized, ordering was easy as we just ordered ourselves on a screen, and the food came out QUICK! the staff were very helpful and friendly. there also wasn’t tap water, it was self-serve purified water which was a plus for me. definitely recommend! expect to spend $17-$22 per dish on average. i ordered the shoyu ramen and my boyfriend ordered a teriyaki chicken bowl; we both enjoyed our dishes.

Tasty ramen spot on Alvarado Street. The gzoyas were very super cripsy and the ramen broth was spicier than most.

Awesome takeout experience while staying at the Portola hotel and spa. The extra pork belly was a bit steep. But some of the better Ramen I have had.

Magnifique! Food is delish! Smells amazing and friendly employees! It has gotten a bit pricey, the egg addition used to be 50¢ but is now like $2... a bit much but with this economy... can't be that mad. I get the vegan ramen and the broth is AMAZING!! Perfect combination of ingredients, textures, flavors.Definitely recommend!!

my husband and i came here for dinner on a weekend. we knew that this place gets pretty busy so we went right as they opened at 5 pm. lots of other people entered the restaurant at the same time as us so they must have had the same idea--it's truly a testament to how great this place is to have it be swarmed as soon as they open their doors!i loved being able to order our meals at the tablet up front, entering in the table number we're going to sit at, then having our food brought out to us. it was super easy, fast and convenient.the food itself was amazing. i ordered the tonkotsu; a simple yet rich bowl of noodles. every new city i visit i always check for a decent ramen place and toribashi exceeded my expectations. i would highly recommend going here if you're in the area looking for some yummy ramen!
