“The best ramen of my life!

I had to sign up and wait for about an hour, but it was absolutely worth it. While waiting, we grabbed a beer at one of the bars nearby, which made the time fly by.

We ordered the chicken karaage and the spice tonkotsu to share, and honestly, it was the best ramen in the world — the broth was rich and flavorful, the noodles perfectly cooked, and everything was beautifully balanced.

On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. I would come back a thousand times!“

“Great food and polite friendly staff.“

“Amazing korean style ramen. I had the combination 1 with the ramen and bao bun and the bao bun was stellar. You have multiple bao bun options and I chose the bulgogi bun and it had a great amount of meat, veggies, and sauce. For my main course I chose the spicy miso ramen with a jeyuk topping on top and I can definitely say this is my favorite ramen in the entire dmv area. The pork chashu on top was cooked to perfection and literally melted in your mouth and the jeyuk was super soft and tender while still being flavorful. The broth was spicy and also extremely rich and yummy. I highly recommend coming here.“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“Don't let the simple outside decor fool you. This place is the real deal. Small but mighty, this place is beautifully decorated. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is also great. We had the chicken Kara-age to start, wonton soup, ramen, and also the ramen with Thai coconut curry. It was the right balance between spicy, sweet, and sour. The bathroom is particularly cool, with sound effects and everything. Worth visiting when in Mclean.“

“Best Ramen 🍜 in Northern VA“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“This is my go to spot in Alexandria, especially for happy hour. The Gin Ramen is amazing and they have a great selection of Sake!“

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

“Great addition to the Wharf dining scene. Big menu with vegetarian options and some healthier options like poke bowls. Appetizers are a must try, my favorite is the miso eggplant and my boyfriend likes the karaage crispy chicken the most. The original tonkatsu ramen is the most authentically Japanese ramen I've had in DC proper, reminds me of a ramen I had in Tokyo earlier this year. I love the hot sauce that comes with it so much, it definitely makes the food taste authentic. If you here with someone, I would recommend sharing a ramen and some appetizers, as the ramen is very big and you wont be able to finish a whole ramen plus appetizers. Ask for Mario as your server, he is the kindest and very knowledgeable about the menu.“

“Food was pretty good, fried oysters however was a bit of watery and tasted frozen. The noodles were great, definitely the go to dish to have at this restaurant. The Japanese fried chicken was ok. Really soft and not crispy. Service I had was lacklustre. Our server didn’t really appear except to give us the dishes.“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“Cute little ramen spot in the heart of Bethesda. Popped in on a Thursday afternoon for a late lunch. My mother and I split an old school shoyu ramen bowl as we don’t eat a ton and it was very yummy! The service was pleasant and prompt and the restaurant and restrooms nice and clean 😊 Would definitely recommend and if we’re in the area again, I’d try their other ramen flavors 👍🏼“

“Delectable food displayed beautifully with phenomenal photography!!“

“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.“

“I got the Teriyaki Chicken with Miso Soup and it was delicious! The teriyaki sauce was thick and sweet, the chicken was seasoned well, and they provided generous portions.

Service was very kind and super fast. I was in and out of the place. Tables were all very clean and the atmosphere was great.“

“best staff best ramen my peace“

“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.“

“Food was amazing and the ambiance was outstanding. You should try the Japanese whiskeys!“

“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.“

“My family dined here on Saturday lunch. It was difficult to find parking spot so we called the restaurant. You have to park at a garage across the street, and the restaurant will validate the ticket.

My family ordered donkotsu shio, donkotsu miso, and grilled hamachi. Ramen are just ok. I would not order ramen again if I go back here. There’s nothing really special about it. Grilled Hamachi was super soft, juicy, and not salty - exactly what I was looking for my young children.

Servers weren’t that friendly and there were only two servers. They were so busy to check on us. I waited like a meerkat for good 10 mins to ask for a check because I couldn’t get their attentions.

Overall, decent japanese restaurant but I am not sure if I would go back unless I am in the area.“

“General Taos chicken is delicious. Sweet and sour chicken was great. The wings are crispy diner wings, not Asian fusion like you’d expect but still good. Had pan fried chicken dumplings (EXCELLENT), shrimp fried rice, and steamed shrimp dumplings. Also the drinks were strong, first time having a blueberry margarita and I highly recommend. Wish they had egg rolls and not just spring rolls. Atmosphere could be better, maybe try dimming the lights? But pretty no-nonsense and straight forward overall including decent service. Def will be adding this to the rotation“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

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

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

“Great service, good sushi, delicious mochi, and great location.“

“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.“

“Entrees are a $17 and up but the portions are big. It's a food court so I only tipped 10% but I guess you could also not tip. Pictures show 3 entrees but we got 4. Two of them were the bolgogi beef.

If we had gone to a restaurant then it would have cost more than $120 but here it was $80. My seafood ramen was good and huge. Husband enjoyed his katsua chicken and dad & son enjoyed their bulgogi rice bowls.

The food court was empty, but clean.“

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

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“Just had an awesome meal at Kusshi Sushi last week with my friend. She is a sushi lover and mentioned the sashimi was fresh and perfect. The sweet shrimp was sweet, dedicate, and tasty. She loved the crispy shrimp head too. The vibe was chill and the staff were super nice. She said the price was only half of what she would pay in New York. If you love sushi, do yourself a favor and hit up Kusshi.“

“Stopped on a whim. I was walking by, hungry and reviews looked good. So glad I tried it. I ordered the miso ramen to-go. The broth was separate in the take away container which meant everything didn’t get soggy while I walked a mile back. Miso was really good. I wasn’t a fan of the noodles. I prefer them a little thinner. Despite that, the miso ramen was really good. The meat was cooked perfectly. Miso was tasty. I would definitely eat here again.“

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

“Legit Japanese food. I’ve visited 6 cities in Japan and this is exactly the type of food I’ve had there. 🍱 🍜 🍣“

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

“I had Jjajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk. It was reasonable price and both were delicious. I had low expectations since the most of Korean Chinese food in America was not good. But this one was not bad and good price. I would come back again. Hope more people come.“

“Wow! It was my first, and definitely not my last, Ramen dinner. This place is unassuming, and fast-food-looking. But after that, the servers were helpful. The choices were overwhelming, and took some Google searches to understand. But the second I ordered from the app the delicious food was at my table. The dumplings (Gyoza) were a hit- soft, and tasty. My son had the Salmon Ongiri, a crazy combination of our parent's spam, salmon, an egg between seaweed/rice outside. He raved. Somehow, separately, be both ordered a tankotsu pork broth ramen named Aka Oni Karaka. If you like the umami satisfying taste, this is it. (I took some of the chili spice out and added it a little at a time.) This place is worth the visit.“

“Kusshi in Downtown Rockville and Bethesda have the best quality fish in Maryland it’s always fresh. We visit this location at least a couple times a week. Jay always goes out of her way to make sure we have a great dining experience. Always friendly service, good food and drinks.“

“I tend to go here multiple times out of the week afterwork to enjoy a unique and tasty cocktail or a savory meal. Everyone that has served me has been incredibly kind and always greeted with a smile! Food was very tasty of course, highly recommended the Sake Fried Chicken, or the spicy wontons for an appetizer. For cocktails I highly recommended the Boba Passion or the Lychee Martini! If you’re in Georgetown, this is the best place to be!“

“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).“
