Solid spot for a quick meal! You order through a self-serve kiosk, and the staff is super helpful if you need anything. They have a wide range of vegetarian options, which is a huge plus.
We tried the Creamy Vegetarian and Miso Ramen, both had nice flavors and good-sized portions. The broth is standard and doesn’t have any heat, so I definitely recommend adding the spicy sauce (extra cost) to give it a kick.

Conveniently located on the main street of Old Monterey, an easy walking distance from our hotel and nearby tourist attractions. Touchscreen ordering was easy and the self-serve water station reminded me of ramen shops in Japan.
The paitan was really smooth and mildly flavored, and my main complaint is that it wasn’t served piping hot. To drive it home, the yolk of the flavored egg was cold. The garlic chips were a nice touch in addition to the oil, and there was good variety in the toppings. Loved the wavy noodles and soft chashu.

Stopped here after visiting the aquarium, loved the food and the atmosphere was very positive. The workers definitely made us feel welcomed and made sure we felt comfortable. They helped us with the menus and explained to us how to order. Food didn’t take long to come out as well. Will definitely Come back!

Stars are only due to the food, staff was great. First bite of my Tonkotsu ramen was very underwhelming and plain. I was able to enjoy it after adding chili powder, salt and chili oil however my partners Spicy Tonkatsu was not salvageable and her ramen was just very watery. Wouldnt recommend as it made my least favorite ramen spot in my hometown seem amazing compared to this.

Toribashi Japanese Restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere that really sets the mood for an enjoyable dining experience. The decor is stylish, and the ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot to sit down and enjoy a meal.
The food was absolutely delicious. I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen and Chicken Karaage, and both dishes were outstanding. The ramen had a rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and tender, crispy pork. The Chicken Karaage was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and seasoned just right.
However, the service was a bit slow. It took longer than expected to receive my order, and they forgot to bring my drink with my meal, which was disappointing. I had to remind the server, and while they did correct it, the delay took away from the experience.
Overall, the food and atmosphere make Toribashi worth visiting, but the service could use some improvement. I’d definitely come back, hoping for a smoother experience next time. 4 stars.

This was our first time here and was delicious, after seeing it on YouTube with how there are many different types and ways of eating it. Very appreciative and grateful for having to eat this dish.
This is how delicious it was, nothing left

The food was very filling and tasted good. I’m not the biggest fan of Tonkatsu and would’ve liked if they had a chicken option but nonetheless, the broth was smooth and very flavorful.
The service was great however you needed to order at a kiosk which for first timers is not ideal. Atmosphere was nice and vibey.

Enjoyed a meal at Toribashi and tried the TONKATSU-Spicy Ramen and vegan ramen. Both dishes had good flavors, though slightly subtle. The ambience was relaxed, making it a comfortable spot for a casual meal. Overall, a pleasant experience! They do have a lot of vegan & vegetarian options.

I’m a big fan of the spicy tonkotsu ramen. I also liked the spicy shio ramen. Both broths are rich and flavorful. If I have to say a negative, I like my eggs a bit more runny in the yoke. Also, the ordering process can be a bit confusing for a first timer.
