Food could have been a bit better for the prices we are paying. The service was top notch our server treated us with respect and made sure to check to see if our food was ready for when we picked up our order. The atmosphere is very laid back. No one was super loud and it was really nice in seating area outside.

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.
We came by this place on accident—now it’s going to be a staple when we come to the NoVA area. Even the edemame tastes better than most, but what was really special was the Tom Kha Ramen—perfect Japanese-Thai fusion. The broth was so creamy. Ambiance cozy and kawaii! Will definitely come back and have already told everyone I know who lives in the area!

Was confused because based on the name and reviews I originally thought this was a ramen restaurant. It seemed like more of a thai restaurant with ramen as an option. The ramen was just okay, egg was not soy marinated and slightly over boiled. Tonkotsu broth was a bit salty and didn’t seem to have enough collagen. Thai food was good.

So, so yummy! Vibes were perfect and our waitress was so kind! Thank you again 🩷
Amazing service, amazing ramen, and a quiet cozy environment with manga plastering the walls.
I had the Tonkatsu ramen, and it was delicious. You get a good portion and the staff are always around if you have any questions.
Would highly recommend if you are looking for a place to enjoy ramen while working, reading, or just relaxing.

We have been here twice and have been impressed each time. The restaurant is fairly small but there are some seatings outside. The food is really good, very rich in flavor and the portion is also very reasonable. The service is outstanding, the servers were very friendly, helpful and fast. I’d definitely recommend this place, and we will be returning customers.

Since I moved out of McLean for college several new restaurants have opened, and this is one of them! My friends and I were one of two groups in the entire restaurant (which is fairly small). The restaurant is very anime themed and cute.
They have a lot of unique menu items, and I went with the drunken ramen. It was good, although a bit too salty. The owner is a very nice lady and service was great.

Best ramen in Nova & likely most of DC! This is coming from someone who craves ramen even when it’s 100 outside. This place is so good that I went back the next day for takeout. We got both the spicy miso & black garlic tonkatsu & agreed that the tonkatsu was our favorite. The broth is so flavorful & love the texture of the wavy noodles. The ramen portions are huge! Excellent value. Love the chili oil on the tables. I could drink it & put in three heaping spoonfuls but beware as it definitely gets spicy with the more chili oil you use. The spicy miso was also good. The kara-age & pork buns were also really yummy. Huge plus that they have alcohol!
Takeout was also amazing! Everything else is separated from the broth & the ramen portion is equally as big as if you were dining in.
This place is tiny (6 tables inside?) but love the atmosphere. If you love cats, you’re in for a treat! Gotta checkout the bathroom. Really cute patio & limited parking. Last but not least, spectacular customer service. The service is some of the best we’ve ever had. The waiter is so sweet & was very honest about a unique matcha IPA that is apparently quite polarizing. Really appreciated his honesty! I had to resist going back a third day in a row but only because I need to lose weight. Will go here every time I crave ramen!
