“Just ordered from here for the first time and the food came quickly and was impressively good. I recommend the lamb/chicken combo.“

“Really enjoyed this place. The atmosphere and food quality are great; plus the customizable “create your own” options.Only caveat/downside is that the cost can add up really quickly with the DIY options. (My $8 Red Curry Noodles went up to $18 when I swapped tofu for Chicken and added shrimp).It still tasted really good, though. Next time I want to try one of their salads (they’re huge!!!). I would eat here over Noodles & Co.“

“Awesome salads“

“I’m thrilled to write this review, and with 214 previous reviews, it’s clear that many others share the same sentiment. My husband and I visited Gin Ramen for lunch, hoping to try something new, and we were in for a real treat. We sampled a bit of everything, and honestly, every single dish was a 5-star experience! From the bang bang shrimp to the bao buns and our individual ramen bowls, everything was fantastic.

We didn’t stop there—we also indulged in their cocktails and desserts. If there was a section on the menu, we tried something from it! I’m still thinking about the bang bang shrimp, the flavorful curry ramen, and the unique (but delicious) pumpkin cheesecake tempura. The chef really nailed it with that one!

The atmosphere, decorated for Halloween, added to the fun vibe, and the service was absolutely top-tier. All of our dishes came out promptly, with no long waits, and everything was prepared to perfection—nothing felt rushed.

I can’t wait to return to explore more of the menu, especially the desserts and cocktails. This is definitely a restaurant that will be around for the long haul!“

“I've been here a handful of times since the restaurant has opened. It's conveniently located near one of my favorite theaters, and Andy's Pizza is the perfect spot to meet up with friends before or after a screening to grab a bite to eat and a good drink (Atlas Brewery being part of the same space is a cool touch, and I've had a couple of good brewskis too). Great service, delicious pizza. I love a thin crust and getting a single slice or two served up on a classic white paper plate really hits the spot when you want some 'za. Happy to have a casual, fun spot in the Eisenhower neighborhood. Special shoutout to Marcos, who was a great server and got me extra Parmesan 😁“

“My husband Adam is on chemo for pancreatic cancer. Today was the first time in three weeks he felt up to going out. Because of the chemo, he has changes in taste and unexpected issues with food textures. The manager replaced his first meal with something he could tolerate and enjoy when he realized he couldn’t eat his usual favorite menu item. Excellent and caring service. The manager himself delivered my Adam’s replacement meal. Thanks so much, it is a little thing but made our day much brighter!“

“Excellent service and food was great with large portions!“

“Just had a phenomenal sandwich here.

The old town waterfront doesn’t have many(read: any) fast takeout/lunch options. This place would’ve been great just by virtue of being the only option, and yet here they are, being actually great on their own merits.

Excellent bread, fresh meats, succulent sweet peppers. Top tier stuff that the waterfront has desperately needed.“

“The food was Very Good. Detroit Style had crisp, buttery edges, soft dough. The thin & crispy was ultra thin. Had a crunch with every bite. All the ingredients were fresh. And the brownie, OMG.... it would be worth going here just for the brownie. I'll be back 100%“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! Every sandwich we tried was bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection.“

“Fresh natural decor, open layout and engaging music. The small pita included perfectly spiced protein and fresh veggies with a wide array of veggy sauces and dressings. Great taste and value.“

“Absolutely amazing. Food was outstanding. We had the beef curry, normaly my husband loves the chicken but the beef was so tender. He didn’t even take leftovers! We were so impressed the owner came out to ask how our meal was. Price point was great! Looked like there were alot of to go orders while we were here. Would highly recommend this as your go to Thai restaurant!!“

“We enjoyed a quick supper and it was fabulous! Great service, generous portions, reasonable prices and yummy too! Thanks for a wonderful first visit...“

“Used to really like this place but we were denied seating on the patio unless we had a dog. We have two young children and it is much easier to manage them outside and there was no one else out there. Thanks for the quick respons Sisters at Old Town North Alexandria you guys have been one of our favorite places and I hope we can visit again in the future.“

“I have gone to this stone hot pizza for quite a number of years. The pizzas are fresh and light. The bread that comes on the side with the wings is spectacular. About two years ago, this came under new ownership, and the food got even better qualitywise.
