Ramen Restaurants near Alexandria, VA

“Been here twice and the food was fantastic each time!“

“This is my go to spot in Alexandria, especially for happy hour. The Gin Ramen is amazing and they have a great selection of Sake!“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“The Tom Volcano Ramen at TomRamen is a fiery, flavor-packed bowl that lives up to its name. Its rich, chili-forward broth delivers intense heat while still offering deep umami comfort. Springy noodles, tender chashu pork, and a creamy egg balance the spice beautifully. At $16.95, it’s a hearty, satisfying choice for anyone craving bold ramen with a kick. I will be coming back again“

“Emily, our server, was very sweet and patient with us. The food was fresh, fast and amazing! There are so many sushi options for us to try. Today we had the rock n roll, spicy moon and fusion salmon. All amazing! We will be back! Thank you!“

“10 out of ten would recommend my server Alexis was amazing definitely having to come again“

“Great food and polite friendly staff.“

“Definitely tasty! To be quite honest the wait on a Friday night was 3 hours (we arrived at 5:45pm), and I wouldn’t quite say it was worth it. They should get a bigger space or take online reservations so that folks don’t have to physically arrive to get in line. Love the vegan options though!“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“The service is the best! We ordered, Golden corn ribs, Chicken kara-age, Edamame, Gyoza, Chashu pork bun, Shrimp tempura, Black garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, and Spicy Miso Soup Ramen. Everything was very delicious and Cosy atmosphere. We’ll come back for more ☺️“

“Great atmosphere, food, and staff 🥰“

“Great ramen and a really nice atmosphere at JINYA Ramen Bar. The broth was rich and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh.

Our server Cakra was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. Definitely a spot I’d come back to! 🍜“

“We had a great experience at JINYA Ramen Bar! Our server Belsy was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, and we truly enjoyed our time there.

Before leaving, we ordered a matcha to go, and it was served beautifully and tasted amazing. Everything from the service to the food made our visit memorable. We’ll definitely be back! 🍜🍵✨“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“These guys are the absolute bomb. The food is amazing and the service impeccable. I ordered for me and my mom because we’ve had it before, she likes it, and she recently had surgery and was finally cleared to have a bigger and nicer meal. I asked in the delivery instructions if they could draw her a smiley face and write feel better soon on a napkin for her since she’s been feeling down. The amazing staff not only did that but also included a cute little blue glittery keychain for my mom. She thinks it’s so cute and was so happy that they were willing to do that for her.

Not only is the food here awesome, but so are the staff. The chefs are clearly passionate about their craft and the servers are amazing and so kind. If you are debating on going, definitely do! You will not be disappointed.“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“Now that the hype has somewhat died down, ramen enthusiasts like me can return and enjoy a bowl of ramen without the crazy wait times. Initially, the restaurant didn't handle crowd control well in their early months. There was no waitlist system, making it hard to justify waiting a couple of hours just for a bowl of ramen. But now that the curious crowd has dispersed, I've come back a few times to check the consistency of the flavor and to see if it might become my go-to spot for ramen. For this visit, we ordered the Classic Omurice Combo with curry sauce and the Spicy Kyushu Tonkotsu. The Omurice Combo really stood out. We chose curry sauce over demi glace, which was a great decision – the curry sauce seemed to have more depth and paired better with the dish, in our opinion. The egg was cooked to perfection, not too thick and not too runny. The Amazing Lemonade drink with cucumber added to the experience, being refreshing and elevating the taste to another level. The Spicy Kyushu Tonkotsu was also impressive. It featured thin slices of pork chashu, similar to my favorite ramen place in NYC. The smoky flavor of the chashu was excellent, adding aroma and depth to the dish. The slightly salty seaweed, along with the soft, sweet bamboo shoots, made for a good combination, enhancing the dish's flavor. The marinated egg, with its balanced taste and just-right cooking, was another highlight. Overall, Kyuramen delivered a memorable meal, with each element of the dishes complementing one another beautifully. The flavor has remained consistent during my recent visits, really standing out. This makes it not only the top spot on my ramen list in VA but also probably my second favorite spot overall in the East Coast. What sets Kyuramen apart is that it's the only ramen place in Northern Virginia that gives you the authentic feel of a ramen store. Sitting at the bar and watching the ramen-making process is a unique experience that adds to the charm. It’s definitely worth visiting for anyone who enjoys a mix of well-prepared flavors and dishes.“

“If I could give xtreme 6 stars I would! I should have know from the reusable insulated bags this place was nothing to play with! Chef kiss delicious food and presentation! Pork belly buns, Korean chicken, spring rolls, ramen. Me and my family ate like kings. Even my son was impressed by everything. One draw back was the grub disregarded my delivery instructions and left the bag on the fence for anyone to come pick it up.“

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

“just want to tell you...the best in DMV 5☆“

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

“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 🎄“

“It was our first time. The food was wonderful and the hospitality was amazing!“

“Entrees are a $17 and up but the portions are big. It's a food court so I only tipped 10% but I guess you could also not tip. Pictures show 3 entrees but we got 4. Two of them were the bolgogi beef.

If we had gone to a restaurant then it would have cost more than $120 but here it was $80. My seafood ramen was good and huge. Husband enjoyed his katsua chicken and dad & son enjoyed their bulgogi rice bowls.

The food court was empty, but clean.“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

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

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

“I had one of the best bowls of ramen here and I’m still thinking about it. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, with that slow-cooked depth that warms you up instantly. The noodles had the perfect chewy texture, and every bite felt satisfying. The chashu pork was tender and practically melted in my mouth, and the soft-boiled egg was cooked just right with a creamy yolk. You can really tell they put care into every detail, from the toppings to the presentation. It’s the kind of comfort food that makes you want to come back again the next day. If you’re craving authentic, hearty ramen, this place absolutely hits the spot. Highly recommend! 🍜“

“it was great especially the music, if like Anime.“

“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!“

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

“I had Jjajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk. It was reasonable price and both were delicious. I had low expectations since the most of Korean Chinese food in America was not good. But this one was not bad and good price. I would come back again. Hope more people come.“

“I've gotten take-out from here several times. I've tried several ramen dishes, sushi, and the grilled mixed veggies. All scrumptious!

My husband and I dined in for the first time today, and we were both very impressed with the atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. Hayden was our server, and he showed exemplary hospitality skills. He made us feel welcome, checked in on us frequently without feeling overbearing, and made sure we knew the AYCE menu is double-sided.

Speaking of, the AYCE is such a great deal! I used to live in Vegas, where AYCE sushi is very common. Unfortunately, for most of them, since the focus is on quantity, the quality suffers. This is not the case for Toryumon! Maybe it's because it isn't strictly an AYCE place. You can absolutely order items a-la-carte from their regular menu (as I had done previously for take-out). The items are exactly the same whether you order from the regular menu or the AYCE. Same quality, and, this is important, same size! Yes, you will receive a FULL-SIZED bowl of ramen if you order it from the AYCE menu.

Not all of the menu items have descriptions, and I was surprised by some of them (not in a bad way, just wasn't what I was expecting), such as:

The avocado salad. I was expecting it to be cubes/chunks of avocado tossed with a dressing. What came out was a lettuce salad with sliced avocado on top. The dressing was good, slightly sweet. It was a good salad, just not at all what I was expecting.

The sweet potato sushi roll is served warm, the sweet potato is deep fried, and there is eel sauce on top. The sweet potato rolls I had other places were not fried, and served cold. I really enjoyed this one!

Everything seemed very fresh, not a hint of wilting greens or brown avocado to be seen!

I am so grateful to live right down the road from this amazing establishment. If you enjoy ramen, sushi, and other Japanese items, def give them a try!

There are bathrooms available for guests.

What my stars mean:

5 is outstanding, memorable, a place to write home about! A must-experience. Someplace I would love to recommend to tourists, and visit myself again and again.

4 is great, somewhere I'd love to return again and again. Back-up recommendation for tourists.

3 is good. A solid option if I am in the area. I may recommend to locals, but would probably leave it off my list of recommendations for tourists.

2 is ok, but only because it a great value, unique, and/or convenient.

1 means I would not return.“

“All the food here is Amazing. Made with love. The staff is awesome too. One of our fav’s.“

“Cozy atmosphere, prompt & friendly service, extensive menu, plenty of parking.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. 🍜🔥😎“

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