Boru was more authentic and fresh than other DMV ramen places I’ve been to.
Spicy miso Ramen- 5/5 The meat was tender and carried all the flavor of the miso. The umami flavors blended well with the spices. Definitely the best ramen I’ve had in DC
Crab Ramen- I had a bite of my friends and it was definitely worth a try.
The decor and art here is good. There’s a bar for you to sit at and socialize as well.

My pregnant wife was in labor and could only have broth, after being turned down at another place and scrambling to find something nearby I stumbled upon Boru Ramen. Walked in and asked for a bowl of their Tonkotsu broth, even offered to pay full ramen bowl price. Got served with a fairly large portion in a take home bowl and only charged as a side add-on (you can order extra broth for your ramen along with many other options.)
Wife and I came back a week later with our newborn and had some sushi.
Is it the best sushi in the area? Not quite, but it's close and priced reasonably, the service is outstanding, and the atmosphere is quiet and enjoyable.
There are places in the area that serve only sushi and ones that serve only ramen, this does both and more. Those former places tend to be flashy and loud, this is cozy.
The menu isn't anything fancy, but if you are craving for some ramen, or some sushi with a side of gyoza, or all of the above without breaking your wallet, I'd highly recommend it. Perfect for a middle-of-the-week evening date.

This ramen place seems to be one of the most authentic Japanese ramen places in the DMV area. The servers were friendly, the atmosphere was great, and the fried oysters were delicious. I would visit here back again! 👍🏼

The curry they serve with chicken katsu is the best I have had in the states. The katsu itself was cooked to perfection.

Very delicious food, flavor was amazing! Service was friendly and fast
I have wanted to visit during business hours but due to my work schedule I haven’t. I walked in 9:50 pm attempted to place a take out order although I was at their register the Lady said they were closed. ? I have been craving that Tantán-Men ? not today.

Food was delicious! Definitely reminds me of authentic Japanese food. The takoyaki was perfectly cooked and a must-try! I also had the yakisoba, which was well portioned and amazing as well!

Of the two ramen places I have tried in Arlington, this one was the best so far. Also reasonably priced and a good value. Will come back.

Quick and easy for an online pickup. Very flavorful broth and overall really good. The spicy miso wasn’t too spicy but I added some of the pepper on the table. Only indoor seating.
