Ordered the basic ramen. Very bland and not what I'm use to. The customer service was really good but I don't think it's worth the trip. Microwave ramen would be better. I hope they adjust their recipe

Service was slow. I was never offered anything to drink even after receiving my food. I had to ask for water. I didn't love the ramen I ordered. The broth seemed thickened with a thickening agent and there wasn't much protein.

If you love authentic Japanese food, go here. Their ramen is amazing - No weird twists or anything, just made how you’d expect and want.

Excellent food and portions. Fast service during lunch. Soup was as delicious as the best pho.

Best Ramen place ever! We are now frequent visitors and look forward to our next visit. Service was very quick & food is seasoned with the heart!

Came in on our way through Richmond and so glad we did! Amazing food that came out quick and the staff was very kind! The kimchi ramen was the best! I would recommend this place to anyone. :)

Been looking for good veggie ramen in Richmond and I think we found a decent pick with Grace Noodle! There are a few vegetarian / vegan options, so we shared two bowls of ramen (one Miso Ramen, one spicy whose name I forgot) and both were slurpable and satisfying. Service was pretty good and not overly attentive. We would come back to Grace Noodle for a cozy bowl of noodley goodness!

Grace noodle is my favorite hole in the wall for ramen. It is authentic, fresh, and flavorful. I have been here probably about 10 times overall but didn't want to submit a review until I tried their carry out. Usually my order is Wanton Ramen with chicken and an order of grilled dumplings. I also really enjoy their shrimp and veggie cold noodles. I'd say after trying the take out I'd still give them 5 stars but definitely prefer dining in. I appreciate how they packaged my take out to avoid the noodles getting soggy and the broth was still just as hot when I got home. The chicken felt a bit dry so maybe if I get takeout again I'll try pork (have never had that issue before). Dining in to me is a bit better only because you can customize your broth and spice level with the sauces and chili oil on the tables. Prices and portions are reasonable too.
we were actually going to Ethiopian restaurant when we discovered it was not open for lunch. quick change of plans and we discovered this place (based on Yelp reviews); so we came here for the noodles on a cold day and we were pleased. I had the Tan Tan ramen, wife ordered I got the Tonkatsu ramen. Mine was a spicy as was indicated on menu (I like spicy food!). I tasted wife's and actually liked it more as it had more depth of flavor. Mine, while good, was more spice-forward so that you couldn't appreciate the broth. Tonkatsu had the requisite pork and had the fish balls cut into fine slices that had the pretty pink on the inside, the seaweed, half a boiled egg, etc. A positive note: restroo were spacious and well maintained (often not the case). overall decor was very appealing in a relaxed fashion.

Apparently the "it" place to try so we came here for the noodles on a cold day and we were pleased. I got the Tonkatsu ramen while Hubby had the Tan Tan one. His was a spicy one and when I tried the broth all I tasted was heat. He tasted mine and liked mine more. Mine had more depth of flavor as if it had sat on the stove for hours vs. his which was more of a let's just add as much spice to it so that you can't taste anything else. Mine had the requisite pork but it did melt in my mouth. Also had the fish balls cut into fine slices that had the pretty pink on the inside, the seaweed, half a boiled egg, and veggies but somehow my camera malfunctioned so my photos disappeared but thankfully hubby's didn't. His was pure spice. I did have to ask for a glass of water because none is provided.

Went here for lunch today and will start by saying that the food is DELICIOUS! I got the spicy kimchi with chicken and fried dumplings. The broth is excellent! Like top tier. and their dumplings were really tasty. The reason for the 4 stars is because of the service. Very sub par. There was only about 1-2 other tables that were being serviced along with my table (only 2 people at each table) and we only saw the waitress a couple times during the time we were there. she stayed in the back for the majority of the time. When she did tend to us she was very unwelcoming and overall dry. But maybe she was having a bad day. IDK. but i do know that i'll be back to Grace Noodle anytime i have a hankering for ramen

This is a place I have been meaning to go to for some time. My son invited me out to lunch and chose. Grace Noodle, and I was thrilled to be able to finally get a chance to see what all the fuss was about. This is a small family run business in Shokoe Bottom. I always like exploring this area because of its rich history, and the fact that there are many little small restaurants along Main Street. This is a classic Ramen house with a variety of takes on the ubiquitous Asian dish. I had the seafood Ramen, and my son had a pork Ramen. I can't remember the exact name of his but the broth was absolutely fantastic! There is something very comfortable about a nice big bowl of Ramen on a winter day. I've gobbled up my food too quickly to post a picture, but there seems to be many on this page that look exactly like what I had. The prices are reasonable, the service is friendly, and you need to get down here and get yourself a big bowl of Ramen!

This is my absolute favorite place to go eat. The food is fresh and hot, the service is super fast, and the quality is consistent/exactly the same every time. 11/10
