Tonchin

We visited Tonchin near on a Wed night. We made a reservation thru Open Table but arrived a little early. They had seating for us at a table but we asked to sit at the bar. The service was kind, helpful and attentive. We had Old Fashions to drink. They did a nice job with them. We each ordered a Ramen dish, seafood a and a more traditional dish. Both were good, but if you're looking for something different different go with the seafood Ramen dish. Unique, tasty broth with the a fair amount of baby clams. Frankly the best part was the ambiance. The restaurant sinks from the street and had great music, decor lighting and the buzz from a near full seating at about 930pm+ Recommended . Enjoy!!!

Loved the ramen, the portions are big and they are tasty; regarding the food i dont have any issue; Regarding the place, my only issue is that it feels like a place to go with friends/many people, if you go with someone on a date/plan this is not the place since the tables for 2 are too close to each other so you wont be able to have a private conversation. Also, if you are planning to go at peak times, call and make a reservation at least half an hour before, in our case, we wanted a table for 2 and we had to wait around 15-20 mins, which wasnt bad but given that that day was raining moderate, i feel that if you go on a day/night with great weather, you will not get a table under an hour probably

This place is fantastic! From the appetizers to the main course to the amazing dessert this is absolutely the best Asian food I've had in CDMX and I have lived here over 3 years. I included a photo of the Shaved Ice Matcha Dessert one of the most creative Desserts I've seen in ages.

Came here for the grand opening to the public! This is their 4th store ever to open originating from Japan. I was super excited to try their vegan ramen and was fortunate to watch the cutting ceremony. Once we were inside you’re immediately transported through the dim lights and classy Japanese style decor. Theres a room where all the noodles are handmade for guest to see. They have comfy booths, cool coasters and pretty bowls. The music and vibe of this place is impressive. The food came out quick and looked beautiful and tasted even better- taking me back to when I visited Japan. The serving size was the perfect amount as well. We also tried the mezcal drink and margarita and they tasted beautifully, I could’ve easily stayed there all day. Shout out to our wonderful and helpful server Melanie! Highly recommend this place, now that it’s officially open to the public, if you’re near by or craving ramen!

Overall, Tonchin is a great spot for a nice date night or ramen outing. Atmosphere and service are great, and I enjoyed my meal here. I will say, for the price, the ramen could improve. There are several nearby, authentic ramen spots that are significantly cheaper and just as good (but lacking the romantic atmosphere) On the plus side, the cocktails are delicious and cheaper than most places around (180 or 200MXN)

Started the night with a Yuzu Margarita Cocktail, and oh man, this drink slaps. The yuzu’s bright, citrusy zing cuts through the tequila with such finesse, tart, refreshing, and just the right amount of boozy warmth. It’s the kind of cocktail that wakes up your palate and screams, “Buckle up, foodie, you’re in for a ride.” Followed it with a Mikan Aperol, which was like sunshine in a glass. The mikan’s sweet-tangy orange vibe danced with the bittersweet Aperol, making it dangerously sippable. I could’ve downed three, but I had to save room for the main event. Then came the Classic Tonkotsu Ramen, and let me just say, finally we have authentic ramen has in Mexico City, and all the other ramen spots can just pack it up and go home 😂. This bowl was pure soul food. The broth? Creamy, porky perfection that clung to every noodle like it was meant to be there. Hours of simmering went into that rich, umami bomb, I could taste the dedication. The noodles had that ideal springy chew, and the chashu pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender with just a whisper of char. The marinated egg? Jammy yolk heaven. Every bite was a love letter to Japan, and I was ready to propose to the chef by the end. For dessert, the Matcha Kakigori stole my heart. This wasn’t just shaved ice, it was a fluffy, green-tea-infused cloud that melted on my tongue like a dream. The matcha flavor was bold but not bitter, with that earthy depth I crave. And the surprise? A generous pile of red beans tucked inside, adding this sweet, nutty chew that balanced the whole thing out. It was like a hug from a Japanese grandma who knows exactly how to make you happy. This place isn’t just serving food; it’s serving vibes. The attention to detail, the balance of flavors, it’s clear they’re not messing around. Mexico City’s ramen game has been officially upgraded, and I’m already counting down the hours until I can slurp that tonkotsu again. 10/10, no notes, I’m obsessed.

Nice service and food, but the tables are way too close together. The waiter accidentally hit me twice while serving the next table, and I ended up overhearing their entire conversation. The place looks cool, but in a city like CDMX, there are way better options that don’t feel this cramped.

Tonchin is here!! Like the brand in NYC this restaurant is a fantastic experience for japanese food. Everything was incredibly delicious and full of flavors. Every dish I tried was amazing. My favorite besides the ramen is the shishito and the edamame, looks like any other start dish that you get but I assure you it's great!
