Ramen Restaurants in Washington, DC

“Great food and polite friendly staff.“

“The best ramen of my life!

I had to sign up and wait for about an hour, but it was absolutely worth it. While waiting, we grabbed a beer at one of the bars nearby, which made the time fly by.

We ordered the chicken karaage and the spice tonkotsu to share, and honestly, it was the best ramen in the world — the broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles perfectly cooked, and everything was beautifully balanced.

On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would come back a thousand times!“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“Great addition to the Wharf dining scene. Big menu with vegetarian options and some healthier options like poke bowls. Appetizers are a must try, my favorite is the miso eggplant and my boyfriend likes the karaage crispy chicken the most. The original tonkatsu ramen is the most authentically Japanese ramen I've had in DC proper, reminds me of a ramen I had in Tokyo earlier this year. I love the hot sauce that comes with it so much, it definitely makes the food taste authentic. If you here with someone, I would recommend sharing a ramen and some appetizers, as the ramen is very big and you wont be able to finish a whole ramen plus appetizers. Ask for Mario as your server, he is the kindest and very knowledgeable about the menu.“

“I cannot say enough good things about the service here! I originally placed an order at a sister location, but after facing a significant delay, I called this shop by mistake thinking it was them. Once I realized and switched my order to this location, the team here was incredible. They prepared the food lightning fast and even included some extra items on the house because of the inconvenience—even though the original delay wasn't their fault at all! It is so rare to find a business that goes above and beyond like this. The food was delicious and the staff is top-tier. Highly recommended!“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“Food was amazing and the ambiance was outstanding. You should try the Japanese whiskeys!“

“Just had this for the first time. Got the red ramen. Easily one of my favorites in DC. Don’t let people who rate 1 star because their kitchen isn’t a “normal” restaurant deter you, people have gotten creative with their businesses to make them most sustainable since the pandemic. The food is fantastic.“

“General Taos chicken is delicious. Sweet and sour chicken was great. The wings are crispy diner wings, not Asian fusion like you’d expect but still good. Had pan fried chicken dumplings (EXCELLENT), shrimp fried rice, and steamed shrimp dumplings. Also the drinks were strong, first time having a blueberry margarita and I highly recommend. Wish they had egg rolls and not just spring rolls. Atmosphere could be better, maybe try dimming the lights? But pretty no-nonsense and straight forward overall including decent service. Def will be adding this to the rotation“

“Great service, good sushi, delicious mochi, and great location.“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“Hands-down best ramen I have ever had.“

“Both the service and food were outstanding 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟The spicy miso soup was delicious, and the noodles were incredibly chewy. I loved it!“

“Best sushi in town. Don't waste your money anywhere else. Quality and price come together.“

“Legit Japanese food. I’ve visited 6 cities in Japan and this is exactly the type of food I’ve had there. 🍱 🍜 🍣“

“I tend to go here multiple times out of the week afterwork to enjoy a unique and tasty cocktail or a savory meal. Everyone that has served me has been incredibly kind and always greeted with a smile! Food was very tasty of course, highly recommended the Sake Fried Chicken, or the spicy wontons for an appetizer. For cocktails I highly recommended the Boba Passion or the Lychee Martini! If you’re in Georgetown, this is the best place to be!“

“Enjoyed delicious sushi and curry coconut udon! The service was great and the atmosphere perfect!“

“Cool little spot. Great service and very fresh tasting food.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Instant Favorite

Just had the BEST no pretense miso ramen I’ve had in years. The broth is rich, rustic, and deeply miso-forward. The pork is chunky and tender. The greens are unfussy and perfect. One sip and I was basically transported back to 1980s provincial Japan.

Fast, friendly service and true ramen-shop energy. For $15, I got nostalgia, comfort, and actual joy in a bowl.

I’ll be back. 🍜🔥😎“
