Ramen Restaurants near Alexandria, VA

“The food was overall very delicious. Since it was raining yesterday, my coworker and I decided to get a quick lunch from here. My only gripe is the price is a little steep for the serving size. My coworker got the short rib for 19, and it seemed like more of an appetizer. Also, gyoza was $10 for four
I got the red curry ramen, which was very delicious, so there were really no complaints there. I got the bulgogi to go with it, and it was very flavorful and tender.“

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

“Just had the most incredible meal at Ñoños Taqueria! The Birra ramen was out of this world – rich, flavorful broth with perfectly cooked noodles and the freshest ingredients. And don't even get me started on the Quesabirra tacos! The unique combination of flavors was mind-blowing. 🤤 Seriously, if you haven't been here, you're missing out! Big shoutout to the whole team for creating such a fantastic spot. #SupportLocal #NonosTaqueria“

“It all started when my best friend and I individually drove past Sushi Jin and somehow both said “hey we should try that Sushi place on the corner!”. Well we tried it out one night, and the rest was history. In the time she lived in Arlington, we ate at, or ordered Sushi Jin at least once a week. The restaurant is comfortable and modern, and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Every time is just as good as the last. The extensive and creative vegetarian options are so delicious and delightful. A true testimony to how sushi can still be just as unique and satisfying- yet plant based. I find this to be a rare quality in sushi offerings elsewhere. They are all amazing choices, but the fried avocado roll is my favorite item on the menu. The spicy Mayo is always just right. The grilled edamame is incredible. They know what they’re doing. Eventually my best friend moved away, so I don’t find myself going there as often without her but she will frequently text me about how much she misses it too. It will forever be a very special place to me. Sushi Jin is hands down the best sushi. Love you guys.“

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

“Tasty lunch special! First time here, first time Onomichi Ramen, and looking forward to next meal! Love the music~
P.S. To be the first group enjoying the meal, please arrive 30 minutes early! Arrived 13 minutes early and did not make the first group…“

“Great food and polite friendly staff.“

“Amazing cocktails and wonderful cuisine! Cool atmosphere and timely reservations!“

“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“

“Great atmosphere, food, and staff 🥰“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“Absolutely the best Ramen in Town!“

“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.“

“One of the best shio ramen 🍜 in DC“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“This place seems like a clean traditional Korean snack bar with a male owner and a female owner. All the delicious food is here. Squid kimbap. Jjolmyeon. Awesome, awesome. I want to go eat again

Vegetarian options: Jjolmyeon with vegetables. Freshness. Highly recommended“

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

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

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

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“Another welcome addition to the neighborhood!

Large menu, with lots of options beyond sushi

Some rolls are great and some are good. Standard pricing with generous servings.

Recommend : TNT Truffle, Misty Forest - smoky, and Fire and Ice - rich but the flavors work well together.
OK : Rising Sun - a fine rainbow roll, and the Yellowtail Jalapeño roll.

Service is very friendly but a little slow - in fairness, it was very busy

Seating outside and inside“

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

“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).“

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

“Excellent, fresh, very authentic. best sesame balls I have ever eaten.“

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