"A newcomer to Dorchester’s South Bay, Totto Ramen opened in late December 2019, joining its Allston and Somerville siblings — all part of a small New York-based chain. While other restaurants might sneak meat into their broth as a flavor booster, Totto’s vegetable ramen boasts a soup base of seaweed and shiitake mushroom. Add mild-flavored kikurage mushrooms to the seasonal vegetable offering for a textural interplay with the noodles." - Nathan Tavares
