“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!“

“Tucked away in an unassuming building is probably one of the greatest bowls of tonkotsu ramen I’ve ever had. The depth of the broth is incredible and the chashu is thick and tender. I ordered an extra cut of chashu to go along with my ramen combo, but honestly the initial cut they give you feels like the right amount because of how thick it was. In total it was $19 for the combo that a chashu bun and generous serving of ramen plus $3 for extra chashu. 100% coming back here and 10/10 would recommend!“

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

“Great atmosphere, food, and staff 🥰“

“A friend and I were craving ramen after a long day. The was food amazing and it came out in a timely manner. In addition, Mya, Rizi, and another gentleman who recommended the happy hour chicken (can't recall his name) made our experience at Jinya memorable. They were friendly, attentive, and accommodating. Quality customer service, food, and atmosphere are hard to find in DC. I will be returning to try brunch soon :-)“

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

“I went to Maki for the first time and it was an amazing experience. Although there might be a wait, it’s worth it.The waiters were very helpful and friendly. This place is Vegan friendly and offers full customization when making Ramen. I recommend getting Miso or spicy miso bases and if you want to spice up your ramen I recommend adding fire ball You’re not obligated to have meat in your bowl. If you’re vegan and like sushi, I recommend getting the Garden roll and also the Avocado and cucumber roll. Overall if you are vegan and like Asian cuisine this is the place for you!“

“This is the best sushi spot in Adams Morgan, I have been going here for over 3 years and this is my go to spot. Sushi is always fresh and the owner cares about his customers.
Highly recommend going here if you’re in the area.“

“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.

“Great food and fresh ingredients“

“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.“

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

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“Fantastic ramen. The best I have had outside of Japan.“

“We absolutely loved Marumen. From just walking in, the staff was warm and welcoming. Food was absolutely delicious and especially at such a great price. Portions are huge. We couldn’t finish it so we got another meal out of it. We will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“With all the shopping in Georgetown, I needed a place to have a drink and a bite but somewhere I could actually relax in. First time I went, I drank an exclusive beer only in China (had quite a few) and enjoyed a tour of dishes that had me full of happiness. The next time I went, I sat in a comfortable table near the window and completed work on my laptop while eating perfectly small dishes. This place is amazing, and parking is right across the street. They have TVs too, so I can drink, watch sports and eat in peace. Love it!!! (Lastly, the staff and manager are so informative and passionate)“

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

“It was wonderful! I forgot to snap a picture of our food, but the tom ramen was great! The broth was comforting in the chilly weather, and the noodles were well cooked! Overall, great delicious food for a worthy price, I was only so sad that it was empty, it made no sense for such a cozy place“

“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.“

“Good food, friendly servers.“

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

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

“Great experience ! Great food ! We tried the All You Can Eat option there, sushi is so fresh and well prepared . Sitting outdoor and having unlimited sushi , what a great dining experience!
I would definitely recommend this place!“

“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.“

“Waraku Japanese Restaurant, located in the Twinbrooke Shopping Center in Fairfax, offers a diverse menu featuring appetizers, Japanese skewers, sushi and sashimi, ramen, signature rolls, poke bowls, udon, bento boxes, and a variety of drinks. They are known for generous portions and reasonable prices for the food they serve. The service was slow, as only one person was serving and taking orders, but overall, it was okay. Sushi and sashimi for one person were large and could be shared between two, offering a generous selection, although nothing particularly stood out, even though they were fresh. The pork skewers were also large in portion, and the price was excellent, but the quality of the food didn’t meet expectations. If you are a big eater, this restaurant is definitely an excellent choice.“
