A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Totto Ramen is a small shop on Brighton Ave., sandwiched between a hair salon and Tavern on the Square. There’s no place to wait inside, so we wait on the street – looking at signs that say no takeout, no delivery and cash only. Standing out on the street brings back memories of when Tavern on the Square used to be the Kells…

We are able to get in on a Friday night, in under 15 minutes. The restaurant is crowded – with every seat at the counter taken and three people squeezed onto tables meant for two.

I’m liking the Totto Extra Spicy ramen, check out how many chili peppers there are next to it. Not for the faint of heart!

If you grab a seat at the counter, you can catch a glimpse of guys hand pulling noodles.

We order on extra spicy ramen ($11) with a side of extra noodles (no brainer) and added in some corn. Super filling, we almost didn’t finish it all. We also had the Paitan Ramen ($9.75) with chicken in chicken broth. The service was good and we would definitely go back again!
