Menya Hosaki is a renowned ramen restaurant that offers an exceptional dining experience for both meat-eaters and vegetarians. The menu boasts a small but mighty selection, including shoyu, tonkotsu, tantan ramen, and Onomichi ramen, each with a remarkably flavorful broth and fantastic, springy noodles that are perfectly slurpable.
The restaurant's vegan and vegetarian ramen options are particularly impressive, with a rich, creamy almond milk-based broth infused with sesame oil and, in the case of the tantan ramen, a delightful hit of housemade chili. The truffle shoyu and triple threat ramen are standouts—light yet rich, with every component combining perfectly. The chicken karaage is crispy, juicy, and generously portioned, making it a must-try.
Menya Hosaki is widely regarded as one of the best ramen spots in the DC area. The restaurant's interior is small but cozy, with a streamlined, no-frills decor that creates an authentic ramen bar atmosphere. While the popularity of the restaurant can make it challenging to secure a table, the line moves quickly, and the exceptional quality of the food makes the wait more than worthwhile.
The service is delightful, with kind and friendly staff ensuring a warm dining experience. Whether indulging in the truffle shoyu, triple threat, or Onomichi ramen, guests can expect fairly priced, amazing Japanese food that leaves them eager to return. A must-visit for ramen enthusiasts.
