“It was our first time here, and we really enjoyed the food! We had the spicy miso based ramen with chicken katsu, the volcano base ramen with bulgogi, the chicken katsu curry rice and a Phoenix Special Roll. From the side salad & miso to the size & freshness of the roll (could've been spicier;)) and the simplicity of the soup bases and even the curry-- everything was delicious! Even my picky husband said it's some place he'd come back to;)“
“First time customer, i love this place! I had their Peach Oolong Green Tea with Honey Boba after asking Jay for their favourite tea, and I'm glad I did! I'll def be going back again to try the food too. The atmosphere and interior design is beautiful as well, not to mention how kind and welcoming Jay was. My only problem was finding the shop! I was looking for Pearl Lady and i had to go into the winery next door to ask for directions! Turns out the sign to look out for is DomoIshi, and after you go inside you'll find Pearl Lady. Can't wait to go again!“
“This is our second trip to Kabuto, hibachi and sushi, and we enjoyed our meal very much. Our waiter is especially friendly and helpful; it’s almost impossible to believe that he is also the bartender, based upon the amazing service that we got, we will definitely come back with our friends again and again, and again and again. Get vegan love: it’s AMAZING!! .“
“This place is AMAZING!! The wings are so crispy and juicy with the sauce, the crab rangoons are so good too so as the spring rollls, everything was so fresh and delicious and everyone in there is so friendly and nice! This is dining hall seating so you can sit anywhere and it’s so so clean and smells so good inside, I’m shocked there aren’t that many people, it should be packed“
“This is the best food I've had in the past couple of years!!!! Very fresh, well prepared, excellent customer service, everything I've had in this restaurant tasted amazing. I highly recommend this place. If I ever win the lottery or something, I'll eat here every day 3-4 times per day :)“
“The Spot has many options for any restaurant we can eat. It is very friendly to the environment. That does make me feel welcome to go to that place. I enjoyed viewing the general food. That is so wonderful. I had a great time eating a dessert. My day is the best. What a blast I love it!“
“Everything at Menya is completely mind-blowing and it's the best ramen I've had outside of Japan. It's a little hard to visit here especially with their hours but every time I can make the trip over to DC I always make an effort to come here. Their food stays consistent and service is incredible. It's amazing to watch how in synch the entire team is and they have an open kitchen where you can watch the staff make the endless bowls of ramen! The karaage is a MUST-TRY it's so incredibly crispy on the outside but perfectly juicy on the inside. It's also paired with a yuzu dipping sauce and it brings the chicken to a whole other level, 10/10. My favorite ramen is the Spicy Tonkotsu because it includes a house made chili spice that really brings a nice kick to their traditional Tonkotsu broth. You really can't go wrong with anything on their menu because each type of ramen is so incredible in its depth of flavor.“
“Carlos was the best bartender and the food was deliciousParking: The parking is free on the street which is wonderfulKid-friendliness: You can also bring your family and friends as well. The food is great with vegan choices and my favorite is the spicy chicken ramen if you like to eat meat?“
“This is a chain ramen establishment which I found to be a fine place for a warm bowl of Japan. There is some depth with their broth and it's pleasing. Not sure I'll come back with the area yielding in my opinion better options. The servers are great with being super friendly. The atmosphere is fun and everyone inside like me was having a great experience. I do recommend this place and till next time....“
“This ramen shop is really excellent. The noodles are made in house and fresh. The broth is really well made as well and has excellent flavor.I had the takoyaki as an appetizer and felt it was a little strange that it had egg salad as a base. I still felt that the dish was really good.I asked for no spicy sauce in my dish and they were able to accommodate.I would say that my only complaint was that it was loud and had fairly loud music. But I feel that I'm also just more sensitive to loud environments.Overall the Ramen is great and I highly recommend going here for some really fresh and nice ramen.Dietary restrictions: They asked about any dietary restrictions.“
“Revisited for Jiro Ramen.I increased the rating one star. They did good job of making Jiro ramen. The taste was good and it is good to enjoy Jiro ramen here in this area. Very rare opportunity.However, I ordered Mt. Fuji Jiro which costs about 10 dollars more than the normal Jiro, and I was expecting that Mt. Fuji Jiro would be equivalent to Jiro with 'Mashi Mashi' vegetables etc. however, Mt. Fuji Jiro's portion was quite disappointing. It would have been better ordering the normal Jiro with adding some toppings like bean sprouts etc. It's way pricy than Yume Wo Katare in Boston. Considering all these, yes I increased one star rating but it would not be enough to give 5-star. I wish they will offer another Jiro days and bring true Jiro spirit here (Jirorians (Jiro enthusiast) love and enjoy 'Mashi Mashi' portion)***********************************It is ok taste, not very bad. This shop does not have a parking so you should park at a parking lot nearby. The service was ok. It is a bit pricy but understandable because of its location.It says a real Japanese ramen which probably true, but I, born and raised in Japan, have never heard Zao ramen when I lived in Japan. I looked it up on google and it looks like Zao ramen (蔵王ラーメン) in Japan is not that popular (the rating is like 3 out of 5) and I totally agree with the rating (I do not know if this Zao in Bethesda is related to Zao ramen in Japan though).“
“as someone who’s had ramen in japan, this is the only place in america (that ive been to so far) that can even compare!! all of the food is so good and the bubble tea is a perfect companion!! the staff are also incredibly sweet and very accommodating. DEFINITELY try the tonkotsu ramen it’s sooo good ???“
“I came here around 9 pm on a weekday night because I was starving and craving some Japanese food. This place is technically located inside Kusshi Sushi, so you would just be seated regularly there and can order food off their menu. For Donburi Dojo and Ramen House, the food items are listed on the Silver Spring online menu (but you can still order them here at the Bethesda location!). I ordered a pork katsu don. It blew me away with how good it was and totally surpassed my expectations. All of the katsu pieces were cooked well and mixed great with the egg and onions. The sauce was my favorite part because of how flavorful it was, ultimately creating a slightly sweet dish that completely hit the spot for me. It's easily the best katsu don that I've had in the DMV area!“
“First time visiting & it was good. Dining in with beer & sake:Takoyaki: exceptional, definitely order them if visiting.Shrimp Shumai: good.Gyoza: tried steamed and probably be better to order fried.Rolls: Philadelphia & Salmon with Avocado - both good.Suggestions: Takoyaki & Shumai, any rolls. Could skip Gyoza.General information: this place is pretty busy, so you may want to make a reservation for a party. Seating consists of dining room & outside patio. Place itself across from Whole Foods. Parking garage is 5 minutes walk.Pricewise: about $85 with 3 appetizers to share, 2 rolls, sake & beer.“
“Nishiki Ramen is a culinary gem that transports you straight to the streets of Tokyo with its authentic flavors and vibrant atmosphere. The moment you step in, the warm welcome by the staff sets the tone for a delightful dining experience.The takoyaki here is a revelation – perfectly crispy on the outside while being delightfully gooey on the inside, each bite is a burst of umami goodness, complemented by the tangy sauce and delicate bonito flakes that dance on top. It's a must-try appetizer that primes your palate for more.Moving on to the kaarage, Nishiki Ramen's rendition of this classic Japanese fried chicken dish is nothing short of perfection. The chicken is marinated to the bone, ensuring each piece is succulent and flavorful. The golden-brown crust is audibly crisp, making it an irresistible treat that pairs wonderfully with their array of dipping sauces.But the star of the show is undoubtedly their eel dish. The eel is grilled to a smoky tenderness, glazed with a sweet and savory sauce that enhances its natural flavors without overpowering them. It's a delicate balance that Nishiki Ramen masters, offering a dish that's both comforting and luxurious.Whether you're a ramen aficionado or a curious foodie, Nishiki Ramen's dedication to quality and flavor shines through in every dish. It's a culinary experience that leaves you planning your next visit before you've even left your seat. Highly recommended for anyone looking to indulge in the best of Japanese comfort food!“
“Our Server and the Sushi Chef were very nice and friendly. The menu is very extensive. It was hard to choose because of so many good dishes. I had the Rainbow Sushi and the Avocado salad. The salad had avocado and seaweed salad on a bed of lettuce. Two of my favorites. When I'm in Germantown and need lunch this is the restaraunt I always go to.“
“No frills. Just amazing ramen, chanpon, tan men, and tsukemen.After many a bowl here my favorites are the hot & sour ramen (a must) and the garlic men. I'll give the curry ramen a shout out as well but the hot & sour ramen rents space inside my head for free.“
“Just finished dinner at RanKen Noodle House in Kentlands- it was really good. Gyoza we’re perfectly cooked, I got the Ramen and my husband had Udon Tempora. I had been hesitant previously, and then kept coming by at the wrong hours. So glad we finally made it and we will be back.“
“Gyuzo offers an exceptional Japanese dining experience, made perfect by Amanda's impeccable service. From her warm welcome to expert menu guidance, Amanda ensured a memorable evening. The dishes, including delectable sashimi, ramen, and Wagyu beef, showcased Gyuzo's culinary excellence. Amanda's attention to detail and seamless service left us eager to return.“
