Toki Underground

Loved the food at Toki Underground. They offer vegetarian options as well, which is what we ordered. The Pan fried dumplings had a little tough edgesnot on the fried side, off course but otherwise it was good. Loved their Cauliflower buns. It’s definitely a snug place that will have a wait time of 90+ minutes.

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!

The place was small but the atmosphere was fun. The food was incredible and was served extremely quick. I can't say enough about how great the staff was, our waiter even ran out to catch me as I had left my bag there. This is a must visit whether you're a local or a tourist. Just make sure to have a reservation

Awesome spot!!! Definitely is a place to visit in DC. The fried chicken steam buns were amazing! And you get to build your own bun so you get more fried chicken than you think. The traditional miso was good as well I wish I added some spice and asked to have the picked ginger removed.Food: 4/5

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 something different, no regrets. Auto 18% gratuity was added just for a party of 2, but no complaints as service was really great all around.

Trendy, artistic and casual dining scene serving top notch food. Perfect place to devour Bao buns before moving on to a ramen or noodle bowl. I ordered the wagyu beef ramen - the beef melts in your mouth and works perfectly with the broth and udon noodles. Be sure to book a table in advance and turn up hungry because you will want to try everything!

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.

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!!

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!!

Nayeli's: honestly if you are going to try ramen for the first time ever, this is the place to go. I got the kimchi ramen, it has a spicy flavor to it but its not so spicy. it was still very good because it felt like the spiciness was very well balanced out. The broth is thick which makes it even better. The noodles are so good, its just an amazing place to get ramen. My bf and I then decided to get the fried chicken steamed buns. It was sooooo gooooddddddd!! the buns were so soft and the chicken had so much flavor. I would dip my bun in my broth and it tasted so good like that as well. The place is a bit cramped but its not bad at all. It has a nice bar theme to it. The decorations were cute as well. Matthew's: All I need to say is, best ramen place in D.C, and possibly in the whole DMV itself. No overexaggeration, all truth. 100%. Also tried the fried chicken steamed buns and those were amazing too. I got the Tonkotsu Tsukumen that comes with the broth on the side. Broth was flavorful and tasted good, so good that you wanna drink the whole damn bowl. Best ramen.
