Torisoba Tonsho

Got The Original, The Dan Dan, and curry rice. Since I personally like spicy food, The Dan Dan was my most favorite. Menu is simple and limited. Street Parking was not easy on Wednesday night. Good vibes and decent service.

Torisoba tonsho has some of the best chicken broth ramen I’ve tasted in LA. The broth was light and flavorful. It’s a great way to have a light ramen meal without the food coma that comes with typical heavy tonkatsu broths. Their chicken was also juicy too! Both the Karaage and the chicken in the ramen was melt in your mouth. Highly recommended’

Excellent food. Every single bite was joyful. The staffs are extremely friendly. It’s definitely my favorite ramen shop!

The tori paitan broth is probably one of the best in LA , right up there with Laki ramen. Get the lemon, butter one. Along with a hint of truffles.. the ramen really came together so well. The chunks of chicken in the ramen were white meat. As an Asian, I would have preferred dark meat. The tan tan men was decent, but I still prefer the lemon butter. The chicken rice was average. I’ll skip it. The gyoza is decent. A crispier bottom will help. I’ll order it again next time. The other great thing is there is ‘free’ 1 hour parking at the back. You’ll have to scan the barcode in the restaurant to avail of it. Overall, I’ll say it is top notch ramen. Daisuke is always there to share a smile to welcome you. Etsoshi is there some other days.

Super authentic Japanese chicken broth ramen!!!! This place is Japanese owned. You can have a real japanese quality food and the experience!!

The ramens were amazing! Awesome flavors that were not like all the other ramen places I’ve tried. I especially loved the Lemon Butter ramen because I could add truffle oil to it. That made it rich, yet easy on the palate. The staff is so sweet and welcomes you with a smile. I will be back!(:

The lemon butter ramen was sensational. It was a beautifully clean broth and the chicken chashu was tender and juicy. Got a side of the karaage and that was fantastic as well, some of the best in LA.

Really delicious chicken broth ramen that I never had anywhere else. Legit restaurant run by Japanese chef from Japan with modern twist. For someone who was born and raised in Japan, I am very pleased with their food. And please spare some broth for rice after finishing your noodle! A modern clean restaurant.

Amazing ramen, nice decor, small spot, casual e ats. Seems like a local business, and cooks/server (maybe owner?) are all Japanese which adds to the authenticity. Server was very nice Ordered: meal sets Original chicken was amazing, I tried some of the spicy version (forget what it's called) which also tasted amazing. It's the right amount of creamy, savory, umami.... Perfect for a cold day :) Tried the chicken karaage and fried rice as well - both great options for sides. Note that if you get fried rice, the bonus egg isn't included. Japanese drinks are pretty good, i liked the Yuzu. It was "Moshi" brand. Also bathroom is clean which was nice to see.

Food 3.5/5: the original ramen tasted a bit blend for me personally, but I put a lot of truffle oil which helped. Dan dan was good but I did not think it was that exceptional, which could be because it's not the traditional dan dan I was expecting. Fried rice was yummy with pepper corn and truffle oil, which I liked more than ramen. The chicken gyoza was nothing too exceptional as well. Overall, the food portion is pretty small compare to other ramen shops. Service 5/5: this place does reflect how much the owner put thoughts into little detail. Ambiance 4/5 I think it's a good place if you want to enjoy some healthy ramen with affordability.

Stumbled upon this place on a rainy day after stocking up on groceries nearby. We were able to walk right in and were seated immediately. The staff was friendly and interior of the space was very nice. Ordered the Dan Dan ramen. At first I was hesitant because I don't do well with spicy food, but it actually wasn't super spicy. It broth was super flavorful and had a nice kick that wasn't overpowering for my spicy food sensitivity. Overall enjoyed this spot and very glad we found it! Parking is in the back (they validate) and options on the street as well!

Very good broth and noodles. Tons of flavor. My only qualm is it's a little bare. I'm used to getting other ramens with tons of chosu pieces and other fillings but this only had small hidden pieces of chicken.

Loved how clean the space is and how nice the staff were. The original was good, the broth could have been better though. The dandan was okay, didn't appreciate the slight sweetness the broth had. But the chicken in both bowls were super yummy. The price for the ramen is also really nice especially considering the area so that was a plus. Personally think that had the broth been better I would have easily given this place a high rating. But maybe I just went on an off day.

This is my new favorite ramen bar none. My husband and I got the dan dan ramen and it's outstanding. It's very rich and flavorful and a bit frothy. It also has real "mala" (Szechuan peppercorn) spice. The gyoza was also great. The restaurant has a nice, clean interior. The server, Patrick, was really nice and helpful, and the chef and manager, Atsushi, was nice enough to come by and talk to us. A really great place for ramen that I highly recommend everyone try!

The menu was packed with enticing options, and I decided to try the DanDan, Lemon Butter, Chicken Gyoza, and Karaage. The DanDan was a standout, with a perfectly balanced blend of chili peppers and sesame paste. The heat was pleasantly lingering, and the rich, nutty broth was incredibly satisfying. The Lemon Butter was a refreshing twist on the original,with the added richness of butter and the bright acidity of lemon. I also enjoyed adding a touch of truffle oil for an extra depth of flavor. The Chicken Gyoza were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the Karaage was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. Overall, my experience at Torisoba Tonsho Ramen was exceptional. The food was delicious, the service was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting. I can't wait to return and try more of their menu.

Some of the best ramen I've ever had. The broth was amazing and the chicken was cooked perfectly. Highly recommend adding the flavored egg. I got the DanDan. Side of gyoza was a great treat and also amazing. Staff was friendly and went above and beyond.

Wow I haven't had ramen like this in LA. Taste like something out of Japan. Such a different flavor profile than what's traditionally made here. We got the traditional chicken ramen, and the broth was so rich and creamy and filled with umami. The chicken was so tender and melted in our mouth. It wasn't dry at all: the lemon added a nice brightness and there was truffle oil on the side which really added an extra layer of dimension. Price is high but I definitely recommend trying this at least once. Food: 4.8/5 Service: (5/5) Ambience: (4/5)

Went during the week at 5:45pm and there was no wait. Ordered the original ramen and omg, the broth was so rich, umami, yet light. I could drink the broth every day and not get tired of it. Added the truffle oil, to give it even more depth, along with freshly ground pepper. Karaage chicken was just ok. That being said, something weird happened after consuming this food. My partner ate the same thing and he started getting red in the face, like he usually gets when drinking alcohol. However we consumed no alcohol, and didn't eat anything else leading up to this dinner. So that was odd. Then, right after dinner, on the way home, I started having shortness of breath, and on the verge of panicking bc of it. But that quickly went away after a few minutes. We aren't allergic to anything, and only ate the ramen and karaage. So I'm not sure what caused it. I'm thinking it may have something to do with the truffle oil?? Anyway, I called Torisoba and let them know what happened and what I think it could've been caused by, and they were understanding and apologetic. This experience is not factored into my rating for this place, bc it sounds like it was a fluke. I'm wondering if anyone else experienced this though. And maybe it was a bad batch of truffle oil.

Small shop with ample seating. Turnaround is pretty fast. Parking on the street or in the adjacent neighborhood. Good service. Be prepared for your food to come out HOT (temperature wise). Amazing. Great broth, flavor. Truffle oil on the tables adds flair to the soup. Karaage was 3 large juicy pieces of chicken. Very filling. As long as their soups come out piping hot, I'll be a regular.

Tonkatsu ramen is everywhere in LA and as much as I enjoy the rich, fatty, comforting pork based broth, it's nice to have other options. Chicken based ramen isn't new to LA either, but the ones that have come and gone weren't that far off from tonkatsu or lacked flavor. Torisoba changes all of that with their flavorful whole-grain noodles and silky, foamy chicken broth. Besides The Original, The DanDan gives you a spice option with nutty sesame paste and the Lemon Butter ups the creaminess while balancing it out with contrasting acidity. The once pop-up from the Shin Sen Gummi is now a mainstay. At the risk of creating a wait the next time I go, I highly recommend trying them out for all the noodle lovers of there.

Torisoba Tonsho has easily become my new favorite ramen spot without a doubt and you know it's done right since they are a part of the Shin Sen Gumi Restaurant Group Honestly, you have to try this place to understand what I mean because their broth and noodles are truly a one-of-a-kind And FYI, this place only serves chicken dishes so you won't find any tonkotsu ramen here if that's what you're looking for Not only are the food good but the staff were also friendly and helpful which made my experience here that much better They have a parking lot in the back through a small driveway to the left of the restaurant and pay by scanning the QR code but it's free when you get it validated or there are also metered street parking

Finally another fantastic delicious Ramen shop near work. I was sad when Kai Ramen closed but was happy to see Torisoba Tonsho open. Torisoba specializes in all chicken products. At Torisoba, they have only 3 different chicken ramen to choose from. The Original, The Dandan, and The Lemon Butter Ramen. I tried them all, and all was fantastic. The broth was creamy, rich in flavor, and a good amount of fat. The Dandan broth has a nice little kick of spice to it. The noodles had a nice prefect chewy texture, and chicken chashu was so tender and moist. All ramen bowls don't come with a season soft boiled egg that is extra. Their chicken karaage are done perfectly. Crispy lightly battered and moist. One order is good enough to share. Also, their chicken gyoza are delicious it's served with a side of yuzukosho. The service was fantastic and friendly. Overall, I highly recommend giving them a try. I enjoyed it. I'll be one of my normal lunch spots..

10/10 the best ramen spot , there's a lot of ramen spots but this one is by far the best one all chicken which is perfect for me ! They close at 2 but open back up at 5 so yummy parking is in the back and you can enter from both sides aswell! Food is made right in front of you from the view of the bar , they do validate your parking so good , service is 5 stars food 5 everything

Wow! This is some of the best ramen I've ever had. The standout was the Dan Dan Ramen. Their signature broth and the hint of the chili made a flavorful and rich bowl of ramen. We also tried the lemon butter ramen, which paired deliciously with the complimentary truffle oil! The chicken gyoza and karage were also tasty and fresh! The service was quick, and the restaurant felt very clean! If you're looking for a great bowl of ramen, definitely give this place a look!

For about $15-16 per bowl, this place is super worth it! Their signature tori paitan broth is so creamy and rich in flavor. The way they froth it up makes it 10x more enjoyable. You can taste all that rich chicken and it just soothes your soul. Partnered with the whole grain noodles, it gives a unique eating experience that elevates the meal. (Personally I might have enjoyed the option of having standard hakata style ramen noodles but this was interesting in its own way!). The noodles came out PIPING HOT which really added to the dish. The karaage was delicious! They serve 3 large pieces together with a slice of lemon over it. It's perfectly seasoned so you don't need to dip in any side mayo like at other restaurants. I will say I might have preferred to eat the karaage in smaller bite sized pieces. It was a little difficult to bite through it all. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bowls. They're all so unique and deeper than they look. Very aesthetically pleasing eating experience.

I love this place! My favorite is the lemon butter ramen, and I normally would prefer pork ramen but it's just so good here!! They have the best chicken karaage in town and service is great! They also validate parking for an hour!

Definitely a new favorite! I met my husband here for lunch and we were greeted by the friendly staff. The menu is small, so deciding what to get isn't hard! We started with the chicken gyoza and chicken karaage. Both tastes fresh and had lots of flavor! Seating is slightly limited - there's a bar seating area and 5 tables that seat around 4 people each. Definitely a great date night spot or small friend meet up! For ramen, we had the Dan Dan and Lemon Butter ramens. The lemon butter was recommended to be had with cracked pepper and truffle -- just wow! The flavor of the lemon butter was rich. If you don't like a heavy ramen broth, this may not be the one for you, but I had nothing but love for it! The Dan Dan ramen packed a punch with spice and was extremely flavorful. The ramens do not come with egg - so if you like egg in your ramen definitely order on the side!

On Friday, I had the dan dan and karaage set. I enjoyed every bite. Dan Dan noodles were cooked to the perfect consistency and the flavor was balanced with the spice. Karaage offered with the yuzu mayo was also so good together. I was so excited to discover this place so I went back on Sunday. This time I got Lemon Butter and Tori men, and it was a little less impressive. Noodles were cooked to a softer texture than I prefer. And the lemon butter was slightly underwhelming. It seems it adds just butter and lemon slices to the original so neither lemon or butter flavors were really there. Lemon seeds and rind add a bit of bitterness to the broth too.

Tried Torisoba Tonsho for dinner with my coworkers tonight and was so impressed! It wasn't too busy at 6 PM, we waited about 10 minutes for a table. All of us ordered the original chicken ramen. I thought this was incredible, and even better than most of the tonkotsu ramens I've had. The chicken pieces were so tender and juicy, and the broth was creamy, rich, and savory! They also provided the table with truffle oil for us to add to our ramen, which gave even more richness to the broth. I could've happily eaten another bowl lol. Price was very reasonable, actually relatively cheap given the quality of the meal! I'm so happy we got to try this place while it's still new, I'm sure it'll be crowded soon once more people find out how good their ramen is!

Server and cook both so kind and welcoming. The ramen was delicious!!! If you enjoy spicy food, go for the Dan Dan! Hands down the best ramen I've ever tasted. The lemon butter is also great if you don't want anything spicy. Will be back!

Very kind staff and delicious creamy ramen unlike any others. It is so creamy and full of umami, yet, light and not oily.

Legit the best ramen ever I got the lemon butter and the chicken potstickers Was so crazy good and for a reasonable price I don't review often unless it's super good or super bad loool

This is the first time I wanted to finish the broth. When ramen is considered "healthy", I usually fear the watered-down noodles and tasteless broth, but it was the exact opposite here. The broth was super light and airy and the whole-wheat noodles (which I feared would be dry), were extremely tender. Plus, the chicken was far from dry. Would come back here again!

torisoba tonsho review serves an all chicken ramen menu which is surprising for a ramen resturant! saw it had 5 s on yelp and had to try it. food: we ordered the lemon butter ramen! the broth was yummy and not too salty. def a place to go for a light warm meal. the chicken was tender and the truffle oil is a MUST. i added three drops and it made such a difference. they do lunch special everyday from 11:30 till 2:30 PM! (including weekends ). they also do 10% off your order if you check in with yelp. service: the lady there was super nice and informed us about all the little niches of each dish. she was so sweet and attentive! vibes were nice and clean. parking: they have a lot in the back! they do validated parking, you just gotta scan the QR at the front desk. etc: i loved the ramen bowls, very unique and aesethic. i wanted to take one home

Yum! Found a new chicken ramen place. Service was very friendly, clean and calming ambience. The soup was so nurturing. Felt like a warm huge from Grandma. I had the original ramen with chicken karrage. Crispy and light. The chicken broth was rich and creamy. Definitely put some lemon in it. I will be back for the Dan Dan noodles. I came in for lunch, but will return for dinner too.

This is the place for the best creamy chicken soup base ramen. I've tried their original ramen. The soup is so creamy and deciduous. The chicken breast strips are so tender and flavorful. Their noodles are so unique which combine 20% of buckwheat with ramen noodles. Texture is between soba and the normal ramen noodles. The tempura is so fluffy and light . Fried chicken is very flavorful and not greasy at all. This place has a parking lot at the back. Don't forget to get validated. Will definitely come back again.

New in town and it's really good chicken broth ramen! My go to is the original tonkatsu ramen base, but this place specializes in chicken broth (no pork) and it didn't not disappoint. Broth was a little foamy for me (not used to it but it was still good). Ramen noodles were nice and firm (wish I had more :)), and the broth was delicious. Tried the chicken dumplings and those were good too. Chicken tasted fresh. Next time, I would like more toppings added. Friendly service, nice clean ambiance inside. Would revisit to get ramen fix!

Such a unique ramen place focusing solely on chicken! I loved the rich broth of the original chicken ramen (so thick and comforting), chewy noodles, and absolutely tender chicken pieces. They keep the menu simple, with only chicken offerings. We also tried the chicken dumplings (great) and the chicken karage (good but some pieces were slightly too burnt). Amazing addition to the area, definitely want to come back!

Pretty good food, really great service! Tried the Dan Dan ramen, lemon and butter, and an order of the karaage. The karaage was my favorite thing! Juicy tender pieces of chicken that were really well flavored. It was different in that the pieces of chicken were pretty large and there was no dipping sauce on the side so not like other karaage you'd find here but better imo! The ramens were good, the broths were super creamy and a bit frothy. The Dan Dan ramen was a bit to salty for me and I felt like the butter flavor in the lemon butter was a little overpowering but I loved that they used whole wheat noodles with a whole different look and texture than I'm used to. Prices were reasonable at about $16 a bowl of ramen.

NOTE: Dined in on 6/25/24. Torisoba refers to the chicken (tori) and buckwheat noodle used here at Tonsho. There aren't many shops that specialize in chicken-based ramen here, but it's certainly a common sight in Japan, where you can even consume raw chicken safely. Don't be fooled by thinking that chicken broth can't possibly as rich, deep, or enjoyable as pork or beef broth - if you drink all of this broth, you'll be sent into a major food coma. Torisoba Tonsho is unassuming, which isn't that much different from most ramen shops in Japan. There's a bar and a few tables, with no frills and minimal decor. The chicken "chashu" here is incredibly cooked - solid enough to not crumble apart when picked up, but somehow comes apart gently once you take a bite. There's so much flavor in there, despite it being chicken breast, due to it soaking up all of the fat and creaminess from the broth. It's certainly some of the best chicken breast I've had, and it reminds me of the chicken dish at Michelin-star restaurant Camphor. I opted for the lemon butter variant, which I felt would cut into the rich broth and provide a better balance. I was advised to add drops of "truffle" oil to taste, but that stuff hardly makes a difference. It's more about the aroma more than anything else and there's hardly any actual truffle in it. At first, the bowl looked like a relatively small portion and I was afraid that it wouldn't fill me up. I ended up drinking every last bit of the broth, and while I certainly don't regret it, I was absolutely stuffed. I'll probably try the original or spicy variant next time, but I have a feeling that the lemon butter is the way to go here. I don't think I'd be able to handle all that broth with the other versions. You could honestly get like a side order of rice or something and enjoy a second meal with leftover broth - it's that good. And it's pretty aesthetically pleasing, since they seem to whip the broth until it's foamy. Not sure if this made a difference in terms of the texture or viscosity, though. The noodles complement the broth perfectly, as they have a medium amount of firmness. I was a little worried, as sometimes soba can easily be served too soft or slightly overcooked. Not an issue here. The broth clings onto the soba, bringing all of that richness with every slurp. Service was quick and attentive, and you can pay on your phone via Toast. In my opinion, this is one of the best ramen shops in SoCal, and I'm very excited to come back in the future.

Overall attentive and kind service with solid food. The dish was very flavorful and the portion was filling. The place was also small and intimate which would be great for a date or meet up with friends.

I'm SO GLAD I can finally get Torisoba in LA!! First time I ever had it was at Ginza Kagari in Tokyo and this definitely scratched that itch. Their fried rice is amazing as well. No alcohol but you can get alcohol-free beer as well as sparkling yuzu. Pro tip: park in the back and pay for parking but ask to scan the QR code when you're inside for 1hr free validation

TLDR: Solid yummy Ramen, clean atmosphere, kind staff. Get the DanDan :3 Walked in here after a doctors appointment on a random Thursday afternoon. Saw the spot was newly opened and thought to try. Ordered the Dan Dan and karaage. Chicken was BOMB. More chicken than breading, hot and juicy. Ramen had a foam layer which I've never seen before. Broth was creamy and noodles were perfect. Staff was polite and courteous, I went when it was dead so no definitive vibes BUT pretty sure would be such a cute wholesome dinner spot. *the pics were taken after a few bites, it was way cuter than this lol

Quaint ramen spot. They specialize in chicken ramen. Service here is quick and attentive. Would recommend street parking since there is no lot. We ordered the Dan Dan, original, and karage. Overall I would recommend this place for ramen. The broth is creamy and flavorful. The Dan Dan tastes the same except with spice. The toppings here are very minimal. They also have truffle oil on the side. Karage was very crispy and large pieces that comes with mayo. Overall a good ramen spot on the area.

Well, damn. A friend of mine took me here based on the recommendation of a Japanese client. It's a different kind of ramen than I'm used to. Milkier and more savory. A change of pace but it's excellent. The chicken gyoza was delicious as well. Service and presentation were superb. No trouble getting a table during lunch co hour, but I'd say go soon before the word gets out and they start having lines down the block.

Such an exciting addition to Weho / Beverly Hills! I got a chance to try Torisoba Tonsho during their soft opening and i absolutely loved the Dandan ramen. What's unique about this spot is that they specialize in chicken broth ramen rather than your typical pork based tonkotsu ramen. With that being said, the broth is lighter but still is hearty with perfect portions. The chicken breast in the ramen is SO juicy and soft I had to do a double take that it was white meat!! I also had a chance to try my friends lemon butter ramen and it was so different yet delicious. I can imagine getting that once in awhile especially during hot summer months.

Great ramen. Don't forget the truffle oil. Dan Dan, has some spice, with a lot of great flavor. make sure to add extra noodles. 9.5/10 The Original was rich and flavorful for a chicken-based broth as well. Would recommend this if you don't want something as spicy as Dan Dan. 9.2/10 Gyoza is large and comes out hot 9/10

The ramen was absolutely amazing, but the service out shined it all. Staff there were very family friendly.

I am insanely lucky to work across the street from this spot. I think this is the best ramen I've had in LA. The depth of flavor in the broth and the chicken is incredible and the noodles are the perfect texture. Everyone who works here is super nice. Great vibe with the decor as well. It's honestly surprising this place isn't always crowded. Come check it out if you're in the area, you won't be disappointed!

New go-to ramen spot, so glad I found it! Got the Dan Dan which they said was the original but with a spice blend as well as some sesame. It was just as good as I thought, heavy and rich with great texture to the noodles (wheat?). Truffle oil on the table for you to add as you please, a small addition went a long way. Fragrant, unique, balanced, delicious chicken ramen. Service was attentive and food emerged quickly, easy place for a lunch break. 10/10.

We were tired of waiting for Sushi Fumi so dropped in here. Wow. What a great move! Got the original chicken plus lemon ramen and chicken gyoza with ponzu. Friendly service. Simple menu. Beautiful decor. Generous portions with the perfect melting egg. Tenderest chicken. Flavors that blew our minds. I loved it so much I took leftovers with me across the street to Largo, stashing it in a plastic to go container in my bag and risking a spill disaster which thankfully didn't happen. We will be back...

Undeniably the best thing to ever exist If I can describe the ramen here in a few words, they would be "timeless", "amazing", "ingenious", "delicious", "tasty", and "refreshing"! Just like all others, I've never heard of ramen made with chicken broth. So this is a first. I highly recommend trying the broth by itself first, then adding pepper and truffle oil to enhance the flavor. As for the service, the staff is amazing, friendly, and they make you feel welcome. The atmosphere is very calm and the interior of the restaurant is very modern. Overall, definitely give this place a try! You won't be disappointed 素晴らしいかったです！ご馳走様でした！

Ordered the lemon butter w/ karage combo. Top notch! Service was great :) parking through a narrow alleyway to the back

This is the best Ramon broth. I'm from Northern California and don't have the pleasure of an experience like this. Simple authentic and delicious Patrick, Cloe and the chef are super sweet. Super clean and satisfing. Come enjoy leave happy . Thank you!

Incredible chicken based ramen. Added a soft boiled egg and a little bit of truffle oil and spice. Also had the side chicken salad with avocado, one the best dressings I've ever had. 10/10 will be back! Service was fantastic too.

We LOVE the food! It was so delicious and the price was unbeatable! They created Miclelin quality food. The service was great and sweet. The ambiance was amazing! We love the simplicity. Definitely coming back.

Their broth is all chicken-based. I had the lemon butter ramen combination with karaage (fried chicken). The broth had a freshness of lemon (not sour) and the sweet richness of butter - sublime! The karaage is the best I've tasted in LA and rivals beer pubs in Tokyo. The service was friendly and attentive and the manager/chef was informative and enthusiastic about his food. Best ramen house in recent memory.
