Ramen Restaurants near Mclean, VA

“A cool little (very small) ramen shop. Came in to avoid rush hour and so glad I did.

The employee when I visited was just so incredibly kind and polite.

The ramen was delicious, and interesting too (don't think I've ever had ramen with beef instead of pork) and the serving size is sneaky filling. Some of the best ramen I've had in the greater NOVA area.

Prices are a little high but quality definitely makes it easier to accept. The decor inside is definitely interesting, a mix of traditional ramen shop and anime.

Of note, the bathroom is also pretty cool, worth checking out tbh.

Parking: They have 4 parking spots in front otherwise it's street parking“

“I’ve never had ramen soup this delicious before. So far I’ve eaten the spicy miso with chashu (pork) and the Volcano with chicken katsu. Both were amazing, but bonus points go to the chashu because it was unbelievably flavorful even after sitting in soup.

I am now constantly craving the food at Maki.“

“Delicious spicy beef noodle soup“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🥘🍜 🍛🍱👌🏼the best Ramen“

“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 👍🏼“

“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 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.“

“The food is amazing! The service is not. This was the 2nd time myself or someone else asked for something different and was told no... The person i was with is allergic to onions, so he wanted just plain rice. He was told no, but they can make the fried rice without onions. So they can take plain rice he wanted and add a bunch of stuff, but no onion, and then cook it... but they can't just give you the plain rice... which they do offer with some of the other dishes. If the food wasn't as good as it was, I would not go here or recommend it because of the service and lack of a willingness to work with someone.“

“I don’t write reviews often but this place deserves one! I’ve only ordered though Uber eats from here but both times they’ve packaged everything so well. I’ll order a mix of hot and cold dishes to eat over the course of a few days and they use cardboard to make sure the hot dishes don’t affect the cold ones while en route to me. I also noticed they use recycled cardboard slips to do this which is so so great!!! The food is also great. The cilabrity and yummy rolls were very good (I like raw fish heavy rolls) and their sashimi cuts are one of the freshest/thickest out of the DC places (funny since it’s not even a sushi only specialty restaurant). Ramen broth and noodles are great and their various raw fish appetizers have been very yummy and the sauces done well! Also I’m not sure if it’s due to the volume of my orders but both of my orders included an item on the house :) reminds me of “service” in South Korea!“

“This is my second time trying Honoo and I’m very pleased with the food and service. We tried the yakitori, tacos, mentaiko udon, sushi rolls, and other appetizer dishes - they were all delicious! The interior is also very modern and the ambience is nice. I highly recommend.“

“excellent ramen and customer service. I am beyond impressed!!! Great job!!!!“

“just want to tell you...the best in DMV 5☆“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“it was great especially the music, if like Anime.“

“Good food, friendly servers.“

“Came here after a long day at work to grab a drink and it was worth it. The staff were kind and attentive from the hostess Zoe to the bartender Emily. I tried her own concoction of the shiso mojito and it was amazing! She really knows what she is doing, will be back here more often after work! 10/10“

“Superb soup dumplings and ramen. The pork and shrimp, and Mala were perfect. The soup was hot but not scalding and the dumplings filling was perfect texture. Super easy to eat. The ramen (duck and Reren) were phenomenal. Broth was flavorful and the ingredients were fresh. The bok choy was tender but still crunchy. Service was friendly and attentive.“

“amazing food and service at the urbana, MD location“

“The food is very well prepared as evidenced by the taste that it offers. You need to wait for your orders a bit more bit I think it's because it's packed when we ate there for dinner and the waiter forgets the orders too. But overall, the restaurant itself is recommendable.“

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

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

“Loved the food. I got the salmon Lover sushi entree. So much quality salmon and they have a pickled something on top of them that were yummy. Really good spicy salmon roll too. My boyfriend had the Tonkatsu (pork), which was yummy. Both were large portions - at least two meals. The bench in the booth needed repair and the service was occasionally slow, but still in love because of the quality of the food.“
