I finally got a chance to enjoy this place on the recommendation of a friend. The Friday night crowd means a packed house so we sat at the bar which was as busy as the open kitchen. I enjoyed two appetizers including the KFC (Ken's Fried Chicken), the Shrimp which were fried light and very tasty with the sauce and my main course was the Drunken Noodles with shrimp. This was the first time I have enjoyed this array of veggies in my drunken noodles as I usually have the Thai version, but I enjoyed the zucchini, bok choy, peppers and scallions and the noodles were cooked to perfection. It was very fresh and the portion size required a to-go box. The owner came out to greet us and to apologize for the back-up due to a short staff and a busy kitchen but I thought they did a great job. There customers ordering a wide variety of dishes including Ramen bowls and the house specials. I also added the Sailor Moon cocktail which was much larger than I thought it would be in the days of shrinkflation. I will definitely return to try more dishes.

The food is okay, too oily and not quite authentic. There are happy hour and daily drink specials. The atmosphere is pretty cool, fun place to hang out, but it’s quite loud.

We had a great experience at Main St. Dragon. The stir fry shrimp was delicious! All of the staff was very friendly and accommodating. It was fun to get to sit at the table in the window pop-out.

We LOVE this place!! I work late in Richmond proper and had a dinner here that was so amazing I wished that my stomach was a bottomless pit. After that encounter, I dragged my spouse who is incredibly picky of asian cuisine (being raised in a Cantonese culture) and he fell in love. We have come to eat about 4 times already.
We moved from the west cost to Richmond in the summer and this place made us feel like home.
Thank you for the wonderful meals. You have made regulars out of us!
We have tried the Chef Kens Chicken, Spicy Bangock Ramen, Gyoza, Spring Rolls, Crab Ragoons, Edamame, Satay Skewers, and Pad Thai.

This is one of the best ramen places in RVA, if not the best! I’ve always loved coming here with friends to enjoy a hot meal while chatting. The staff is incredibly friendly, and I highly recommend giving it a try.
I had the Malaysian Style Ramen with egg and chicken. I also tried the shrimp, but I enjoyed the chicken more personally.

It’s a pass if you’re going for ramen. Questionable noodle texture, broth flavor, and lazy toppings.

This is the best ramen I've ever had, and truly in the top foods I've ever eaten in 45 years. I had the Indonesian ramen with no bean sprouts and 2 eggs as the protein. Wow. The flavor of the broth is just amazing. The depth and complexity, the noodles being perfectly done and after a long delivery at that. Just extraordinary. I plan to try a variety of additions and next time, I will get extra broth too. We also had the Thai fried rice with chicken, which was good. I think it could have had a bit more flavor and I didn't realize there were no cashews. Next time I would request them extra. But if you can find better ramen than that, I don't even think I'd believe you.

This is a solid place to eat with a wide variety of Asian options. The appetizers have the largest variety and there is a happy hour from 4-7PM for drinks and wings, shrimp, and gyoza. Admittedly I wasn’t too sure about a place that had so much variety in different Asian cuisines, but I was pleasantly surprised. The Japanese ramen was a large portion with rich flavor, just make sure to mix in the mushroom reduction all the way. The pork was sweeter than I prefer but good on its own. The noodles were not my preferred style for ramen though.
