Amanda and I were seeing Wicked nearby and we decided to make it a dinner + show date:both were amazing Totto specializes in chicken-broth ramen called Chicken Paitan,which is lighter and clearer than the other popular ramen broth called Pork Tonkotsu made from pork bones. What made me happy was seeing their giant trashcan-sized stockpots on the fire behind the counter,filled to the top with chicken and bones. If you like things spicy,you can make this tasty chicken broth even better by getting it “Spicy”with a dollop of spicy chili sauce,or “Extreme Spicy”where they just give you a whole dish of the chili sauce on the side. You’ve been warned…the spiciness builds! All in all,I would recommend this place over Ippudo. This place is cheaper,doesn’t have ridiculous waits,and I personally like the lighter chicken paitan broth over the cloudy pork tonkotsu broth. Totto’s menu options might be a little sparse compared to Ippudo,but when you’ve got a hankering for ramen,does it really matter what else is on the menu?

After sufficiently exploring the area near our hotel,we drove around Central Maui to try and find some local grub. Posted by manda on January 26th,2011 Aloha everyone! This is the first entry from our Hawaiian adventure. Lahaina is on the shores of West Maui and most of the businesses here cater to the nearby resorts. Here are some that we tried out.  | |
