Toki Underground

Vegan mushroom spicy ramen with extra spice and egg was superb. One of the best ones we have had. My friend had the numbing pork ramen and loved it. The cocktails were good also. The Brussel sprouts were excellent. Small place so book ahead. Wednesday evening is as wide open. Must stop for Ramen!!

As a self-proclaimed vegan/vegetarian ramen taster in the DMV area Toki’s Mushroom Shio ramen was definitely worth my buck!! I loved the broth, the shiitake mushrooms was yum This place is tiny and intimate. As a solo diner I liked the high chairs and nooks to have my food in peace ✌🏻 Staff are on toes and friendly I would suggest to have a prior reservation as seating fills up quickly. 8.5/10 recommend 🔥

Toki Underground completely lives up to the hype. When you read this is the best Japanese food or the best ramen in DC, it’s not a marketing ploy. This place is truly off the charts. It’s very much a hidden gem: no sign outside, on the second floor, and only about 15 seats total. The space is tiny with all counter-style seating, elbow-to-elbow, which makes it perfect for singles or couples but definitely not ideal for groups. Food and drinks came out fast. Service was friendly and quick, though we did feel a little rushed despite not lingering. For example, we were never asked if we wanted a second drink, and the check was dropped without asking about dessert. A few missed upsell opportunities. Still, our server was warm and efficient overall. To drink, I ordered the Toki Monster, which

My girlfriend and I just had a delicious dinner here. We got the Brussels, curry ramen, and matcha tiramisu. The Brussels were good, but the ramen and tiramisu blew us away. Some of the best food I’ve had in a while! We got seated at the bar, and the bartender Daniel was super nice and even gave us a very informative political history lesson. My only concern is that the setup of the seating is unideal for groups bigger than two. But overall a great spot, and I hope to make it back again.

I want to start by saying the food was fantastic! The Bao Buns, Curry Ramen, and Dan Dan Noodles were all packed with flavor and I would happily order again. This being said, the service was shockingly snarky and rude. The host wasn’t friendly at all. It’s really a shame, because the food was so great! Hopefully it was a one time experience, but it definitely was off putting.
