Ramen, sizzling plates, pork buns, and probiotic yogurt drinks
"Every bowl of ramen at this Japanese-Taiwanese restaurant in Houston arrives fast, scorching hot, and beautifully composed with thick cuts of rich chashu pork, aromatic broth, and a really cute wooden spoon. We crave the signature spicy tantan ramen with its double pork (chashu and spicy ground pork), squishy kikurage mushrooms, and thick, chili-spiced broth. And the tonkotsu black garlic ramen with silken pork broth, a deep and comforting garlic-umami bomb. After filling your stomach with noodles, Toyori also gives you a bottle of gulpable probiotic yogurt to help your body process all that richness." - anne cruz
"Toyori is an excellent ramen and sizzling plates spot in Chinatown. Served quick and hot, the signature Spicy TanTan Ramen has ground pork, thick chili-bombed broth, and perfectly cooked noodles. You can also take ownership of a personal sizzling plate, which is kind of like a fancy frozen dinner that someone tossed a fried egg onto. Even better, no one working here will ever use the word “tapas” to describe anything." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"The combination Japanese-Taiwanese restaurant Toyori serves up some of the best ramen in Chinatown. Every bowl arrives fast, scorching hot, and beautifully composed with thick cuts of rich chashu pork, aromatic broth, and a really cute wooden spoon. We crave the signature spicy tantan ramen with its double pork (chashu and spicy ground pork), squishy kikurage mushrooms, and thick, chili-spiced broth. And the tonkotsu black garlic ramen with silken pork broth, a deep and comforting garlic-umami bomb. And after filling your stomach with noodles, Toyori gives you a bottle of gulpable probiotic yogurt, probably for something digestion-related, and we just think that’s nice." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
"While the ramen at Toyori is totally craveable, you also get an adorable tiny probiotic drink at the end of the meal, which, you know, cute. The nondescript interior dark walls, rows of utilitarian booths and tables make the floor-to-ceiling gold Toyori mural feel like a special backdrop once you taste the glistening pork buns or spicy tan tan ramen. Maybe the menu resembles ones at other ramen shops, but the quality and consistency keep us coming back for bowl after bowl. What to order: Toyori bun, spicy signature tan tan ramen, signature rib steak sizzling plate" - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
"ToyoIf you’re wandering around Don Huang Plaza in Chinatown, unsure of which of the many restaurants will offer you shelter and sustenance, fear not: Toyori, a ramen and sizzling plates spot, will provide you sanctuary. Dig into the spicy tan tan ramen, or order one of Toyori’s sizzling plates, essentially a super-charged version of a Salisbury steak TV dinner with a black pepper sauce and a pile of spaghetti. The food arrives fast—you’ll likely eat it just as fast—and the space is casual enough so you don’t feel rude occupying a whole booth for yourself." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas
