“We had to get take out because the place was so full but the food is AMAZING and the people are really nice. They open at 5 pm but people start living up at 430 pm ish and they are packed the entire day. If I could I would give it six stars the flavors are amazing and it is really nice to eat after a long day or something. The wait is totally worth it.“

“Delicious food, cozy place!!“

“I ate at Kozy Ramen Bar for the first time today and I’m really glad I did. It’s a little tricky to find, and the outside of the building looks a bit sketchy, but don’t let that fool you. This place is a hidden gem of ramen goodness.
Once you step inside, the atmosphere completely changes. The décor is cute, cozy, and relaxing, and it’s a really pleasant place to sit and enjoy a meal.
The server was kind and attentive, the portions were generous, and the ramen was seriously tasty. Definitely the kind of place that makes you happy you gave it a chance.
I’m looking forward to coming back again for more ramen soon.“

“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 ☺️“

“Great ramen and a really nice atmosphere at JINYA Ramen Bar. The broth was rich and flavorful, and everything tasted fresh.

Our server Cakra was friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service. Definitely a spot I’d come back to! 🍜“

“Best Ramen 🍜 in Northern VA“

“We had a great experience at JINYA Ramen Bar! Our server Belsy was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. The food was absolutely delicious, and we truly enjoyed our time there.

Before leaving, we ordered a matcha to go, and it was served beautifully and tasted amazing. Everything from the service to the food made our visit memorable. We’ll definitely be back! 🍜🍵✨“

“The food at Akira is delicious, both as takeout and for dining in. All of their ramens are great, and we especially love their vegetarian version. The agedashi tofu and the chirashi are also excellent. Plus friendly and effective service!“

“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.

📍 Kajiken 7505 Leesburg Pike D, Falls Church, VA 22043“

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I love the Tan Tan Men here — it’s so creamy, rich, and full of flavor. If you like spicy food, try the Gekikara Miso Men at the highest spice level, but be careful because it is really spicy!

The restaurant uses a self-pay machine at the entrance. You order and pay first, then take your number and choose a seat yourself. It’s simple and convenient.

The owner, Pason, is incredibly kind and welcoming. He’s Japanese, and his wife makes the noodles in-house, which makes the ramen even better. The noodles have a great texture and taste amazing.

To finish, I had the crème brûlée and a matcha oat milk drink — both were so rich and delicious.

I will definitely be back again!“

“Best Ramen I've ever eaten“

“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.“

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

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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! 🍜✨“

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

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

“Great food and fantastic staff“

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

“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.“

“The Tom Volcano Ramen at TomRamen is a fiery, flavor-packed bowl that lives up to its name. Its rich, chili-forward broth delivers intense heat while still offering deep umami comfort. Springy noodles, tender chashu pork, and a creamy egg balance the spice beautifully. At $16.95, it’s a hearty, satisfying choice for anyone craving bold ramen with a kick. I will be coming back again“

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

“I had one of the best bowls of ramen here and I’m still thinking about it. The broth was incredibly rich and flavorful, with that slow-cooked depth that warms you up instantly. The noodles had the perfect chewy texture, and every bite felt satisfying. The chashu pork was tender and practically melted in my mouth, and the soft-boiled egg was cooked just right with a creamy yolk. You can really tell they put care into every detail, from the toppings to the presentation. It’s the kind of comfort food that makes you want to come back again the next day. If you’re craving authentic, hearty ramen, this place absolutely hits the spot. Highly recommend! 🍜“

“Five stars for our waitress Jai, she made the experience! We went on a Sunday around 4:00-ish and had so much fun. We ordered three rounds of sushi and dessert. It is $15-20 a specialty roll, but they have really good portion sizes. Jai got our food out fast, was consistently swinging by to check in, and was prompt with the check. She also totally sold us on their sushi brunch, which we will be going back for!“

“Whenever I'm having a hard day I work, I buy a very specific ramen order through Uber Eats. The kind workers always go out of their way to specialize my ramen and provide a relaxing meal to soothe my workday. 2 years in and I've never been disappointed.“

“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.“
