Tokyo-born tonkotsu with a Midtown polish: creamy broth, springy house-made noodles, and an izakaya-side menu that’s stronger than most ramen “supporting casts.” The move is to keep it ramen-forward—one signature bowl plus one starter—because the room can get busy and pacing matters. Tonchin traces its roots to Tokyo (1992) and opened its U.S. flagship in Midtown (est. 2017), with Michelin Guide recognition boosting confidence in repeatability.
Must-Try Dishes:
Classic Tonkotsu Ramen, Smoked Dashi Ramen, Seared Gyoza
What makes it special: Tokyo-rooted tonkotsu with house-made noodles and a Michelin-noted bowl.
