Toki Underground - Washington, D.C.

Toki is one of the first really popular ramen spots in DC, before ramen really blew up. The decor and ambiance is really unique, though it results in a somewhat small space. Everything tasted great. I tried their Wagyu beef cheek udon which was very interesting and tasted great. The beef cheek melts in your mouth with flavor. But the ?broth? is much thicker than normal ramen so it?s not as enjoyable to drink. I?d probably opt for regular ramen next time but I liked trying

Delicious noodles and fun vibes! I loved both the Dan Dan and Mazeman noodles. Affordable price for such high quality ingredients. Stickers covering the counters create a fun atmosphere. I would definitely recommend making a reservation, the small space fills up quickly. Can?t wait to come back!

Delicious! Vegan options available (vegan dumplings) and also amazing cauliflower bao. We also ordered the full chicken bao and the chicken thigh in eel sauce both amazing. Both bao had good spice and left your lips a little tingly. The chicken thigh was cooked so well and the skin made it taste like it was wrapped in bacon??? We got takeout and it was still good when it got home. Can't wait to go back!!

Absolutely delicious and such a cool vibe inside! I had the Toki Classic and highly recommend! The place is upstairs and small, so you?re sitting close next to other people along the edge of the room and there is alway late 2000s music playing! Definitely a great date spot, might not be great for more than two people. Make a reservation ahead of time. A must visit place for Ramen in DC!!

Great place, great service, and delicious food. It's very tight and seating is limited, so there's a time limit on your visit. My friend, who visited Japan, noted the food was authentic and so was the vibe, for the most part. One thing that I didn't like was the volume of the music. In such a tiny place, it felt more like a club than a dinner spot. And if you don't like rap, you might not enjoy your time there.
