Toki
Underground
is
putting
on
a
ramen
clinic!
Their
newest
location
in
Baltimore
definitely
knows
how
to
dish
up
a
solid
bowl
of
ramen.
The
last
time
I
had
Toki
Underground
ramen
was
10
years
ago
when
Eric
came
to
Charm
City
to
collab
with
Spike
Gjerde
at
Artifact
Coffee
for
a
magical
night
filled
with
sips
and
slurps.
However,
tonight's
experience
brought
back
some
good
memories.
The
restaurant
itself
is
hip
and
trendy,
giving
off
Shinjuku
Tokyo
bar
vibes.
On
the
food
front,
everything
was
on
point.
The
appetizers
came
out
fast
and
furious
(Tokyo
drift).
From
the
riff
on
karage
chicken
to
the
mushroom
spring
rolls,
each
dish
was
one
umami
bomb
after
the
other.
And
of
course
the
main
event,
the
ramen
was
a
slurptastic
good
time.
I
opted
for
the
classic
Toki
pork
ramen
and
went
for
the
glutenous
kaedama
(extra
noodles)
to
keep
the
party
going.
The
drinks
were
also
straight
fire.
I
had
both
the
Toki
Monster
which
was
their
version
of
an
old
fashioned
but
included
a
grilled
pork
belly
garnish
(!!!)
as
well
as
the
Last
Samaurai
which
cleverly
used
the
Japanese
root
beer
cola
soda
Hey
Song.
Both
were
fantastic
examples
of
mixology,
being
perfectly
balanced
down
to
the
last
sip.
Overall,
I
have
nothing
but
praise
for
my
Toki
Baltimore
experience
and
can't
wait
to
come
back
again!
