“Best Ramen 🍜 in Northern VA“

“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!“

“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“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“Great atmosphere, food, and staff 🥰“

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

“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“

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

“Awesome sushi and accompanying delicacies. Service was amazing and cool was very personable. Highly recommend. Everything we tried was off the chart here. Decor was pleasant and different. Our 9 yr old son was even impressed. Definitely returning soon.“

“Loved the food and service at Fujisan. Everything was beautifully plated and there were definitely creative items on the menu. My favorites were the seared salmon belly, Ishiyaki where they cook the beef on the hot iron stone, wagyu uni (simply gorgeous and delicious), sushi tacos, and salmon volcano rice. Yakitori platter was great because we had a variety of tastings. The mushrooms and pork belly were my fav! My friends ordered the soup dobin mushi which comes in the cutest tea pot. If you want something beautiful yet the Fujisan box deluxe. Never seen anything like it, so colorful and lots of fresh raw fish, eel, fish egg, etc. Nice to have something different than your typical sushi boat. The ambiance is really nice too. Very beautifully designed with blues and golds. Very classy. The sushi was very fresh I find that some places don’t have fresh cold fish how it should be so I’m glad this place did not disappoint. As for desserts the green tea mochi, tempura ice cream, and cheesecake were amazing. Personal favorite is cheesecake. Highly recommend!“

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

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

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

“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.“

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