"Tonchin is a busy place. It is so busy, in fact, that if you try to make a dinner reservation at their Midtown location there will probably be nothing available for the foreseeable future. But that’s why you should go to Tonchin for lunch. There are tables for groups in the back, in case your coworkers realize that a ramen lunch is the best idea you’ve ever had, and a bar up front for a quick solo meal. Get the $25 lunch special with the classic tonkotsu ramen and an unagi rice ball, and end with an enormous matcha shaved ice. " - will hartman, willa moore, sonal shah, neha talreja, kenny yang
