“Chicken kaarage was the star, battered nicely and crisped to perfection. The yuzu mayo was bright and creamy and paired perfectly with the chicken. The spicy ramen was ok, I ordered extra mushroom and thought the noodles were well cooked. The broth was very rich but felt like it was lacking some acidity to cut through the fattiness. We got in line around 4 pm on a Friday and were the second party to be seated, and the line started to grow quickly around 4:30“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“Best Ramen 🍜 in Northern VA“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“I ordered this from Postmates.

I am originally from Oregon so it was my first time ever being here. I got really hungry and I stay home alone due to family leaving. But I was craving sushi so I ordered from here. I ordered 1 potsticker and got one for free. Then a shrimp tempura roll and I ended up getting a free cheesecake and salad. This genuinely made my day since I’ve had so many bad days and depression. This has improved my mood by so much. The food was amazing too! I am definitely going to order again during my vacation. I recommend this place. Thank you so much’“

“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!“

“I recently moved to Annandale and was looking for good food and Kozy Ramen and bar did not disappoint! I love the original Tonkatsu Ramen with Chasu bun combo and pork Gyoza. The Ramen and the pork and everything is just so good and flavorful. I’ve been disappointed several times by Ramen restaurants in NOVA but I will definitely be returning here. The service was also great, and the staff was very friendly.“

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

“The service is the best! We ordered, Golden corn ribs, Chicken kara-age, Edamame, Gyoza, Chashu pork bun, Shrimp tempura, Black garlic Tonkotsu Ramen, and Spicy Miso Soup Ramen. Everything was very delicious and Cosy atmosphere. We’ll come back for more ☺️“

“Amazing service and delicious food! We spontaneously stopped by because the place looked so nice and it was a great experience! The server Alisson recommended great dishes and answered all of our daughters’ questions since it was their first time in a ramen restaurant. Will come back again!“

“Truly excellent ramen. The broth is the critical element. Theirs is simmered for 18 hours to extract all of the umami. Our server, Karl, was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He made our experience. Great cocktails on top of amazing food. Highly recommend.“

“best staff best ramen my peace“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“If you’re a fan of authentic Japanese comfort food, Kajiken in Falls Church is a spot you absolutely shouldn’t miss.

We started the evening with Gyoza and Takoyaki, and they were the perfect way to begin the meal. The gyoza were nicely crisped on the outside with juicy, flavorful filling, while the takoyaki were warm, soft, and savory — a classic street-food favorite done right.

For my main dish, I ordered the Teriyaki Tori, and it truly stood out. The chicken had a wonderful aroma and a beautifully grilled texture with a slightly crispy bite on the outside while remaining juicy inside. You can really tell it was grilled with care and precision. The flavor was incredibly satisfying and unique — honestly, I’ve had chicken dishes in many places, but it’s hard to find one quite like this. Paired with the noodles, the combination was rich, comforting, and perfectly balanced.(And if you’re not a noodles fan, you can easily ask to swap the noodles for rice.)

My husband ordered the Sukiyaki, which was warm, savory, and deeply comforting — the kind of dish that makes a dinner feel complete.

To end the evening, we treated ourselves to dessert: Matcha Crepe Cake with Matcha Ice Cream, and Taiyaki with Vanilla Ice Cream. As someone who truly loves matcha, I have to say the matcha flavor here is the real deal — smooth, fragrant, and beautifully balanced without being overly sweet. The crepe cake layers were delicate and light, and paired with the matcha ice cream it was absolutely delightful. The taiyaki with vanilla ice cream was also a perfect sweet finish.

From the appetizers to dessert, everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. A wonderful dining experience overall — we’ll definitely be coming back again.

“Really nice homy spot for ramen. Used to be a go to but something changed when they rebranded to their current name. The broth and other food hasn’t been quite as good as it used to be and the menu options have changed slightly. I hope they regain their footing so it becomes as good as it was when it was Zao Stamina.“

“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.“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“We had an absolutely outstanding experience! Our very kind server Randy was attentive, knowledgeable and gave great reccomendations on dishes to eat & cocktails. Food was very flavorful! Atmosphere lovely! Highly reccomend. Really a great kick-off to our families weekend away 🎄“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Honoo Ramen Bar! Honoo Ramen Bar is an absolute gem and a must-stop in West Falls Church! From the very first bite to the last, everything was exceptional. The Tako Wasabi was perfectly balanced—fresh, briny, and addictive. The Sake Steamed Clams were rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor… pure comfort in a bowl. The wagyu and toro sushi were incredibly fresh, buttery, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious—clearly top-tier quality. And the shrimp dumplings? Steamed to absolute perfection: tender, flavorful, and expertly made. Do not leave without trying the Green Bliss Roll—it’s a standout and an instant favorite. On top of the amazing food, the service is attentive, friendly, and genuinely welcoming, making the entire experience even better. Honoo Ramen Bar delivers on every level—food, service, and vibe. If you’re anywhere near West Falls Church, this place is an absolute MUST STOP. I’ll be back again and again! 🍜✨“

“Let me tell you about this awesome ramen place! I placed an order for Miso Ramen through Uber Eats and when I got to the Grace st location I was told I put in the order for the wrong location. Well I just accepted that I made the mistake/would eat the cost but Hirro (I believe he’s the owner) remade my order without hesitation. I’d truly accepted that was not going to have my food (I’d been having a terrible day) but his kindness & customer made all the difference!! Also the ramen was delicious and this coming from someone who has had authentic ramen! Will be coming back and bringing friends :)“

“Great food and fantastic staff“

“It was our first time. The food was wonderful and the hospitality was amazing!“

“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.“

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

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

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

“Today I had a really satisfying meal at K-Street inside K Market.

The pork cutlet was very comforting and balanced — just a classic, reliable donkatsu flavor.
What impressed me the most was the tuna kimbap. The ratio of egg and carrot was excellent, and the flavor was clean, mild, and not salty or overpowering at all. It felt very different from the typical overly seasoned $9.99 kimbap.

Everything tasted fresh and well balanced.

I’d definitely recommend the donkatsu and kimbap at K-Street inside K Market if you are looking for a simple and satisfying Korean-style meal.“

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

“I ordered the Pho for take out and it was done pretty quickly. It took about 15 minutes. When. I went to pick up the person there made sure to verify my name. The food itself was good. It was not how I expected it to be but was good nonetheless. The protein in it was cooked pretty nicely and tender. The herbs had some brown spots but we're still edible. I definitely would order here again to try another soup.“

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

“Been our favorite Uber Eats sushi spot for years because of the great food. Came in solo for my first time dining in before a movie next door, and when I told them I had a movie in a bit, everyone working there made sure I got in, had a great meal, and made my movie all at once. Highly recommend!“

“I think I’ve found Alexandria’s best-kept secret. TomRamen is a true hidden gem that punches well above its weight class! I ordered online, and the process was incredibly quick and easy. One thing I really appreciated was that I wasn't overcharged for ordering through their site—it’s refreshing to see a local spot keep their prices fair for online customers.

The food was remarkably fresh, but the real standout was the flavor. It is authentic, rich, and absolutely delicious; you can tell they don't cut corners here. To top it off, the customer service was amazing—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. If you’re in Alexandria and looking for top-tier ramen, look no further. This place is a 10/10“

“The guy at the front was super nice and very attentive. The food came out fast loved the fries and the gyoza’s were pretty good as well. Was not a fan of the Ramen’s we ordered at all. The meat was tough and the broth wasn’t that good.“

“Tried Kusshi in Bethesda recently and overall had a really good experience. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere without feeling too loud or crowded, and the location in Woodmont Triangle makes it a nice spot for dinner before walking around downtown after. Sushi tasted fresh and presentation was really well done. You can tell they pay attention to quality instead of just rushing plates out.

We ordered a mix of rolls, appetizers, and drinks and honestly everything came out pretty quickly. The crispy rice and specialty rolls were probably my favorite part of the meal. Staff was friendly and checked in often without hovering too much which I appreciated.

Prices are definitely on the higher side compared to casual sushi spots, but that’s kind of expected for the area and quality level. Overall a really solid place for date night, dinner with friends, or just when you want sushi that feels a little more upscale than average.“

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

“Enjoyed delicious sushi and curry coconut udon! The service was great and the atmosphere perfect!“

“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.“
