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!“

“Stopped on a whim. I was walking by, hungry and reviews looked good. So glad I tried it. I ordered the miso ramen to-go. The broth was separate in the take away container which meant everything didn’t get soggy while I walked a mile back. Miso was really good. I wasn’t a fan of the noodles. I prefer them a little thinner. Despite that, the miso ramen was really good. The meat was cooked perfectly. Miso was tasty. I would definitely eat here again.“

“The server in the black T-shirt explained the sushi in such detail, which was super helpful for someone like me who doesn't know much about sushi. The ramen was absolutely delicious-especially the miso ramen! It's not a typical broth, but a soy milk base that's creamy yet rich and savory. Highly recommended!“

Recommendations: Truffle Shoyu, Triple Threat, Chicken Karage

This is probably the best ramen place I’ve been to in the U.S. The place is kind of small, but trust me the wait is worth it. They have truly incredible ramen that will make me miss them so much after I leave D.C. If you prefer lighter broth I recommend the truffle shoyu, if you prefer richer broth I recommend the triple threat. They are both so delicious. Every component of the ramen is perfect, and when they combine all you feel is happiness. The chicken karage is very good too, the portion is huge and it’s not that expensive. I’m so happy that I discovered this treasure place, and I will DEFINITELY visit again! Best food I’ve had in D.C.“

“Great food and polite friendly staff.“

“A cool little (very small) ramen shop. Came in to avoid rush hour and so glad I did.

The employee when I visited was just so incredibly kind and polite.

The ramen was delicious, and interesting too (don't think I've ever had ramen with beef instead of pork) and the serving size is sneaky filling. Some of the best ramen I've had in the greater NOVA area.

Prices are a little high but quality definitely makes it easier to accept. The decor inside is definitely interesting, a mix of traditional ramen shop and anime.

Of note, the bathroom is also pretty cool, worth checking out tbh.

Parking: They have 4 parking spots in front otherwise it's street parking“

“Absolutely the best Ramen in Town!“

“One of the best shio ramen 🍜 in DC“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“We tried this restaurant for the first time today using Uber Eats and we really enjoyed our meals. We got the fried chicken bun, Tonkotsu ramen and chicken stir fry ramen. Our food tasted great and we really appreciated that our food was delivered in their insulated bag which kept our meals warm. Will order again in the future.“

“I accidentally found this lovely nice ramen shop but it's amaze me. The food was delicious, The atmosphere was nice and comfortable and the decoration was lovely. I love this place so much. If it was near my house, it would be awesome.“

“I don’t write reviews often but this place deserves one! I’ve only ordered though Uber eats from here but both times they’ve packaged everything so well. I’ll order a mix of hot and cold dishes to eat over the course of a few days and they use cardboard to make sure the hot dishes don’t affect the cold ones while en route to me. I also noticed they use recycled cardboard slips to do this which is so so great!!! The food is also great. The cilabrity and yummy rolls were very good (I like raw fish heavy rolls) and their sashimi cuts are one of the freshest/thickest out of the DC places (funny since it’s not even a sushi only specialty restaurant). Ramen broth and noodles are great and their various raw fish appetizers have been very yummy and the sauces done well! Also I’m not sure if it’s due to the volume of my orders but both of my orders included an item on the house :) reminds me of “service” in South Korea!“

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

“This place has definitely improved.It use to smell really bad but that has changed. The menu changed and for the better. The popcorn chicken is really good, as well as the orange and fish! The friend rice isn’t great. The mango chicken has way too much sauce. Regardless, I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Absolutely so delicious! The best quality sushi we've found in the area, and the ownere is so friendly!“

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

“Had a really nice time upstairs with Ash as our bartender! Sooo sweet! My best friend andnI had a blast. 🩷🙌🏽“

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

“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.“

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

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

“Great food and fantastic staff“

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

“Superb soup dumplings and ramen. The pork and shrimp, and Mala were perfect. The soup was hot but not scalding and the dumplings filling was perfect texture. Super easy to eat. The ramen (duck and Reren) were phenomenal. Broth was flavorful and the ingredients were fresh. The bok choy was tender but still crunchy. Service was friendly and attentive.“

“The food is very well prepared as evidenced by the taste that it offers. You need to wait for your orders a bit more bit I think it's because it's packed when we ate there for dinner and the waiter forgets the orders too. But overall, the restaurant itself is recommendable.“

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

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

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

“How does this place only have 4 stars? Do you all have covid still? Best sushi in town for the price point, even if they're not so used to customer service or the place isn't made for a nice sit down experience (it's Western Market, which is a great upscale food court worth going out of your way for).“

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

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