Tondou Ramen makes a virtue of its narrow footprint. A long timber counter runs the length of the space, lined with red stools that nod to the bowl, while diners look straight into an open stainless-steel kitchen — the theatre of the ramen-ya.
Exposed brick, warm spot lighting, a paper lantern and bold red accents give the room its energy and authenticity. Small, honest, and unmistakably a ramen bar.
