Love this place for ramen!!! The food is delicious and it's easy to order from the self serve screens where you can look at the photos. Food comes out relatively quickly, which is nice for kiddos, and the atmosphere reminds me of Japan. The rice bowl portions are HUGE and our kids happily devoured it.
Price is outdated in google.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.
food portions are enormous and the spice is incredibly hot. but the noodles and egg are quite delicious. would recommend if extremely hungry, and spice tolerant
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.
Had the creamy vegetarian with buckwheat noodles (gluten free) soup and noodles super yummy! So glad we stopped in for lunch. You order on the order pad, food came super fast. Was so hungry forgot to take a pic lol. Coming back next time I’m in town!
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!

Decent place to get some Japanese ramen. Our noodles were not steamy hot as preferred. Average portion on the small size. Quick self ordering service …
