About Toki Underground

Toki Underground is a cozy restaurant with a warm atmosphere, offering a variety of options to satisfy most tastes. The menu includes popular dishes like the Toki Classic Ramen, Brontosaurus Ramen, and pork belly buns, which can be enjoyed as build-your-own buns, adding a fun touch. The food presentation is excellent, and the flavors are delicious and creamy, with some dishes like the Mala Garlic Tonkatsu being very flavorful with an almost numbing sensation. The ramen options are highly praised, with some being very salty and rich, but overall, the food impresses diners. Many customers describe the ramen as immaculate, with the broth being light and flavorful, and the noodles chewy and well-cooked. The Toki classic has a wonderful umami broth with perfect seasoning, and the curry chicken ramen features a curry broth considered the best tasted. The restaurant features a unique underground ambiance, with a half-outdoor seating area and a view of the kitchen while dining. The decor is very cool, and the staff is friendly and personable, making conversations interesting. The menu offers many options for those with dietary restrictions, including very good gluten-free noodles and attentive staff ready to answer questions. The drink menu is also notable, offering a good variety of sake and innovative cocktails, some of which can be hit or miss. Service is often quick, although sometimes slow and laggy, and the main dining room can fluctuate in temperature during winter, making one side hot and the other cold near the doors. Parking can be limited during busy times, but the overall experience makes Toki Underground a great spot to enjoy a meal or celebrate a special occasion.
