Ramen Restaurants in Washington, DC

“I came here when they first opened in 2020, and I came again recently (2026). The flavor and quality remains great, although the line these days is really long and their opening hours don't make it easy for those outside of DC to stop in for a taste. I would recommend coming to give this place a try if you haven't been before, but it's not really worth the 1-hour or more line for a second visit.

Also, for their vegetable-only toppings, the portobello slices are decent, but for $21 base price for a smaller, more shallow bowl of ramen I would love a serving of heartier, tastier grilled maitake or king oysters. But with the higher costs, taxes, and fees of operating in DC, I could understand how the economics of that might not work well.“

“Great food and polite friendly staff.“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“I ordered this from Postmates.

I am originally from Oregon so it was my first time ever being here. I got really hungry and I stay home alone due to family leaving. But I was craving sushi so I ordered from here. I ordered 1 potsticker and got one for free. Then a shrimp tempura roll and I ended up getting a free cheesecake and salad. This genuinely made my day since I’ve had so many bad days and depression. This has improved my mood by so much. The food was amazing too! I am definitely going to order again during my vacation. I recommend this place. Thank you so much’“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“Amazing service and delicious food! We spontaneously stopped by because the place looked so nice and it was a great experience! The server Alisson recommended great dishes and answered all of our daughters’ questions since it was their first time in a ramen restaurant. Will come back again!“

“Truly excellent ramen. The broth is the critical element. Theirs is simmered for 18 hours to extract all of the umami. Our server, Karl, was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He made our experience. Great cocktails on top of amazing food. Highly recommend.“

“Let me tell you about this awesome ramen place! I placed an order for Miso Ramen through Uber Eats and when I got to the Grace st location I was told I put in the order for the wrong location. Well I just accepted that I made the mistake/would eat the cost but Hirro (I believe he’s the owner) remade my order without hesitation. I’d truly accepted that was not going to have my food (I’d been having a terrible day) but his kindness & customer made all the difference!! Also the ramen was delicious and this coming from someone who has had authentic ramen! Will be coming back and bringing friends :)“

“We had an absolutely outstanding experience! Our very kind server Randy was attentive, knowledgeable and gave great reccomendations on dishes to eat & cocktails. Food was very flavorful! Atmosphere lovely! Highly reccomend. Really a great kick-off to our families weekend away 🎄“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

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

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

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

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

“I ordered the Pho for take out and it was done pretty quickly. It took about 15 minutes. When. I went to pick up the person there made sure to verify my name. The food itself was good. It was not how I expected it to be but was good nonetheless. The protein in it was cooked pretty nicely and tender. The herbs had some brown spots but we're still edible. I definitely would order here again to try another soup.“

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

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

“Best daily spot in the foggy bottom area. I’ve been a student here at GW and now in my senior year I’ve realized this place is a part of my daily life. The staff is more than welcoming and serve me and multiple friends with love and care. There’s a reason we are here 3x a week and the food definitely is a huge role in that too.

Chicken Katsudon Boxed Entree is my go to!

P.s. regarding the racism part, my group and I are from all walks of life and I don’t say that lightly. We have never personally ever had any form of racism in our experience. Regardless on our skin color, facial hair or physical appearance at all.“

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