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

“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 spicy beef noodle soup“

“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.“

“The food is amazing! The service is not. This was the 2nd time myself or someone else asked for something different and was told no... The person i was with is allergic to onions, so he wanted just plain rice. He was told no, but they can make the fried rice without onions. So they can take plain rice he wanted and add a bunch of stuff, but no onion, and then cook it... but they can't just give you the plain rice... which they do offer with some of the other dishes. If the food wasn't as good as it was, I would not go here or recommend it because of the service and lack of a willingness to work with someone.“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“This is my second time trying Honoo and I’m very pleased with the food and service. We tried the yakitori, tacos, mentaiko udon, sushi rolls, and other appetizer dishes - they were all delicious! The interior is also very modern and the ambience is nice. I highly recommend.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Korean restaurant, and the experience was fantastic from start to finish. The food was bursting with flavor—especially the kimchi, which was perfectly fermented and spicy. The bulgogi was tender and juicy, served sizzling hot with a sweet-savory marinade that lingered delightfully. I also loved the variety of banchan (side dishes), which added layers of texture and taste to the meal. The spicy tofu stew was a standout, with rich broth and just the right amount of heat.

Beyond the food, the restaurant itself was clean and welcoming. The staff was friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. What really impressed me was the bathroom—it was spotless, well-lit, and smelled fresh. There were plenty of supplies, including soap, tissues, and even a touchless hand dryer. It’s clear that cleanliness is a priority here, both in the kitchen and throughout the facility.“

“excellent ramen and customer service. I am beyond impressed!!! Great job!!!!“

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

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

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

“What a great poke place. I ordered the Korean Classic and it was delicious.“

“It took me years to find a good ramen and sushi place, this place is the best! The owner is so sweet and welcoming, can’t find customer service like what she give anymore. My husband and I make it a point to god every month or two, you always get quality. As being spoiled by NY and NJ for several years we’re picky but this is our spot.“

“I visited a take-out Japanese restaurant at the H-Mart Fairfax Food Court with modest expectations regarding the quality of the food. Surprisingly, the Chirashi Salad Bowl and the Sashimi Combo were fresh and flavorful. Initially, I thought the Chirashi Bowl might be too small for one person, but it was just the right portion. However, considering its price, I found the Sashimi Combo to be relatively small. For those who prefer to dine in, there is a shared seating area in the center of the food court accessible to all the eateries.“

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

“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.“

“Loved the food. I got the salmon Lover sushi entree. So much quality salmon and they have a pickled something on top of them that were yummy. Really good spicy salmon roll too. My boyfriend had the Tonkatsu (pork), which was yummy. Both were large portions - at least two meals. The bench in the booth needed repair and the service was occasionally slow, but still in love because of the quality of the food.“

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

“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!“

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