Totto was a friend rec and didn't disappoint! Felt super cozy with it being the local neighborhood ramen shop. The show stopper ironically was the Tokyo friend chicken with the chili crunch topping - YUM. For the ramen, the broth was creamy and noodles were chewy with love but meat not so tender. Service was excellent and felt like I was back in asia - 100%.

A quiet and relaxing restaurant with a unique theme/design. On one side, you see a typical Japanese izakaya design. On the other, you see a run-of-the-mill Chinese tile back alley design. The services are fast and the waitress is polite. The food is a bit of both good and bad. The curry ramen's broth did not really blend with the curry powder well, making a weird blend. On the other hand, the Firebird Ramen was superb. Spicy, but not overwhelming and maintaining it's flavor. The char siu bao are delicious, although I find it crazy that only one bao is $5. The fried chicken is also good, although it may be too salty for some patron.
I enjoyed the ramen here! They have a wonderful variety and the broth is very rich and flavorful. When we went, they only accepted cash so that is something to be mindful of. I’m not sure if that has changed, however. The service was good as well. I’d definitely recommend this place!

I recently dined at this restaurant and unfortunately, my experience was less than satisfactory. Upon entering, I was immediately asked to pay for my meal, which felt rushed and impersonal. Then, to my annoyance, I was directed to sit at the bar, despite my preference for a regular table. However, the most disappointing aspect was when my food arrived in a bag labeled "To Go," despite my intention to dine in. This made me feel unwelcome and excluded from the dining experience. Overall, the lack of attentiveness and disregard for my preferences left me with a negative impression of the restaurant.

Just got out after having lunch....please avoid this place... the worst ramen I've ever had. Tasted like uncooked flour.. the pork bun was covered with sauce all over.. the draft beer was not even cold.
The ramen was very good and the price was right! Recommendable!

Needed something quick and filling. Stumbled upon this ramen shop, which specializes in a chicken paitan soup. I really enjoyed the different flavors of the broth. I got spicy which wasn't really that spicy. The egg was a bit overcooked for me. Overall if you're in a pinch, the customer service was quick and fast.

Mega ramen was full of delicious meat. Broth was balanced. Noodles perfectly good but a slightly small portion. Unfortunately the massive serving of chopped raw onions was overpowering.
As many others have said here, Totto Ramen has gone downhill. The ramen is just OK now. The waitress kept shouting to us from 10 feet away rather than coming to our table. The loud music in the main dining area competes with totally different loud music in the kitchen/bar area.

Like the house special, a soup with noodles, veggies, etc. Crowded, unfancy place. Okay service.

If you know the real ramen, you know this ain’t it. The chicken too dry and the taste of the broth too bland. I’ve had Totto Ramen in other places and this one wasn’t the best…to say the
