A nice change of pace after most places only having tonkotsu ramen. We got the spicy chicken broth ramen and it didn't feel super heavy. The pork chashu was also tender and not too salty like they can be normally. I got the chicken chashu, and it was basically just a tender piece of chicken breast. Pretty nice after a long night of drinking! The chicken karaage was also decent, but I've had better.

Still so solid after all these years. Got the spicy miso Peitan with pork cha siu, and the rich, creamy broth really hit the spot for a late lunch. The pork wasn't as tender though as I had hoped, hence the 1* deduction. But all in all, it is a great choice in Midtown East.

Am I allowed to give a review from Oct 2nd, 2015? why not. lol Me and my boy was fresh in new york for the first time. Like on any hurricane day you want some ramen. Food: I think we got their most popular ramen. I STILL remember how amazing that ramen was. I was blown this placed had a like 1000 plus reviews back then. Service: it was busy, we waited like almost 30 mins before we can get seated down. But man when the food came, the food was gone as soon as it touched our tables. We demolished that thing! Ambiance: im looking at the pictures now, everything is clearly updated. I wasn't a big picture taker back of the inside of locations, but we had a great time. I will give a 5 star from 2015. Haha.

Chilly weather calls for ramen, and I'm always eager to try new variations of this cold-weather classic. Totto Ramen's bowl features a creamy, chicken-flavored broth (paitan). New to this style of ramen, I ordered the Original Chicken Paitan with chicken char-siu (vs. pork). The rich, savory broth was delicious, and I'd definitely order it again. The chicken char-siu tasted slightly dry to me, but the broth and al-dente noodles were solid. I echo someone else's comment that I wish the bowl came with more toppings, but I enjoyed the garnish of scallions, nori, and soft-boiled egg. While Totto doesn't accept reservations, there was no wait for a table around 5 PM on a weeknight. Our food was served quickly, and we were very satisfied with our meal.

Great spot in midtown east. Some of the better ramen in the city. I've been here before when I lived in the area. Still as good Staff is polite and the food comes out pretty quickly. There is a bar alongside the kitchen to eat at and then 6-10 tables in the back. Came in for a quick dinner. We ordered: fried chicken ramen: very good. Chicken was very tender and flavorful. Broth was pretty good. Not too spicy, not too salty Spicy miso ramen with chicken: miso was a great add in to the ramen. Deepened the flavor a bit. Unfortunately there was only one small piece of chicken. This dish was a tad salty for some reason. Definitely a good neighborhood spot. There is also one in Hells Kitchen

Atmosphere (4/5): The front of the establishment is a long bar seating that faces the kitchen. The back opens up to a dining room with some tall tables and some regular tables. It is not loud and well lit! Feels like a casual ramen dive spot. Service (4/5): Our appetizers came out a lot longer after our ramen. Food: They have a happy hour menu until 6pm with discounted drinks and 2 options of appetizers. Spicy Paitan Spicy Miso (4/5): The broth was so savory! The half seasoned soft boiled egg was prepared just right. The pork cuts were seasoned well but on the drier side! The wavy noodles were cooked firmer as I requested. I wish there was more toppings to it but it hit the spot. Namban Fried Chicken (2/5): Not sure what they were trying to do with this dish but the fried coating was very uneven. The spicy sauce was okay but the whole dish was underwhelming.

I absolutely love Totto Ramen.This place apparently has long lines, but I arrived right when they opened. The staff was attentive and pleasant. Spicy Paitan Soup (chicken paitan soup topped with housemade spicy sesame oil, bean sprouts, nori, and char siu) is a must-order. You can choose pork or chicken. I like it with pork. Oh! so hearty and satisfying. 4 stars.
