So Many Ways to Eat Meat on a Stick

Meats on sticks. There can never be enough. Ubiquitous at state and county fairs, though, the carnivore-friendly lollipops become more scarce when it comes to dining indoors or outside the vicinity of a ferris wheel. But while it may be tough to find a deep fried pepperoni-and-mozzarella stick at a restaurant in the District, there's a plethora of other varieties of skewered meat available for...

Eater's Cold-Curing Chicken Soup Guide

Ask readers about their favorite chicken soups and they tend to fall into two categories: the Jewish penicillin that is matzoh ball soup, and the lemony Greek classic avgolemono. D.C. actually has a variety of chicken soup standouts, whether it be classic renditions, ethnic spins like Pho Ga, or the aforementioned versions. Here are some of the standouts.

Chefs Talk 'Plop-Ins', Pop-Ups and Takeovers

DC's chefs are an experimental bunch. As soon as a space and concept are locked down for a restaurant, they're suddenly mixing it up and doing something different. To get that desire for change out of their systems (however temporarily), chefs may do a weekend pop-up in an underused space or take over another chef's kitchen for an evening. Or as Union Kitchen and Blind Dog Cafe's Jonas Singer...

Best ramen in DC

Average Rating

80

There is always a wait. Best to go early or late and not on a busy night (Thursday/Friday/Saturday). Veggie ramen and red miso are incredible. Fried chicken buns are amazing. Friendly service.

Best Ramen

I'm obsessed with ramen and always look for new places that serve it. Toki is by far the best and richest ramen I've ever had.
The restaurant itself is also really cosy and cool. Highly recommended!

Great ramen but slightly overpriced

Average Rating

Toki Underground is an extremely popular restaurant in the vicinity. They do not take any reservation and its a tiny place so could be challenging to get a table right away. My friends and i were here on a Thursday evening for an early dinner. We were lucky to be seated right away.

The restaurant is really tiny and...

We visited here after seeing it in TV and it lived up to the hype. They were busy but fortunately they had 4 seats right next to the kitchen available for us. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful when deciding what to order and how to beat eat the meals we ordered. The chicken fried steamed buns were...

High Tech Wait, Tiny Space

Toki Underground is a local hotspot known to have people waiting. We arrived right at 5, when they open for dinner, to find that there already was a line. Another patron said that the line starts around 4:15 or 4:30. After admitting the first group, the host collected names and cell phone numbers to make the waiting list, then we...

Try Toki classic, Taipei curry chicken, vegetarian, red miso ramen. Pick your choice of beef, pork, seasonal vegetable, chicken, or seasonal seafood dumplings that may be either pan-fried, fried or steamed. $5 will...

DC's First Taiwanese Ramen and Dumpling House.

Posted on January 29, 2014. Brought to you by twitter.

Toki Underground was the first ramen shop to open in DC and has been a popular restaurant in the Atlas district since Chef Erik Yang poured the first bowl of ramen noodle soup in 2011. A blend of Taiwan and Japanese cuisine, the menu is simple, consisting primarily of ramen and dumplings. The restaurant itself is small and thus intimate; diners pull a stool up to the bar that wraps around this...
