Tonchin: An authentic taste of Japan in the heart of CDMX
A corner of Tokyo in the Mexican capital
Located on Av. Paseo de la Reforma, one of the most iconic avenues in Mexico City, Tonchin is more than just a restaurant: it is a sensory journey straight to Japan. Since 1992, it has established its reputation as a benchmark in the city for those seeking authentic Japanese cuisine, particularly highlighting its Tonkotsu ramen, prepared with a creamy and flavorful pork broth that is cooked for hours.
Specialty that has delighted since 1992
The star of the place is undoubtedly the ramen. Made with fresh, soft handmade noodles prepared daily, it is the perfect example of how Tonchin pays attention to every detail in its kitchen. This restaurant also impresses with a carefully selected array of gyozas, tebasaki (Japanese-style chicken wings), steamed buns, and frozen desserts like kakigori, a typical Japanese shaved ice that refreshes and enchants.
