Tonchin
A refined tonkotsu off Herald Square — seared gyoza, steamed buns and a Bib Gourmand.
On a Garment District side street a few blocks from Herald Square, Tonchin is a ramen restaurant you can sit down in for a full dinner, not just a quick bowl. The broth is the reason to come.
The tonkotsu is the house favorite — a refined pork broth, rich without being heavy. Start with the crisp-seared pork and ginger gyoza and the steamed buns filled with ground chicken and pork, and don't overlook the kale salad with its umami vinaigrette, which earns its place. Michelin gives it a Bib Gourmand.
Editor’s tip
Share the gyoza and buns, then order your own tonkotsu.
