A small corner restaurant with a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. I’ve eaten here numerous times, often making a point to try dishes I haven’t previously had, and not once have I been disappointed. Each and every dish has been utterly delicious, and with hearty portions that fill you right up. All in all, I highly recommend a visit here; I’m always looking forward to my next one.
We randomly spotted this place yesterday and decided to go there for lunch.My husband and I both lived in Shanghai for 11 years and the city has many great Japanese restaurants. So far in Richmond we’ve been having some troubles finding good Japanese spots.This ramen place reminded me so much Japanese spots in Shanghai. Everything we ordered was great, and they served it incredibly fast.The atmosphere was so cozy there, I don’t know, I felt really comfortable there. And the background music was so pleasant.It’s a decent, affordable place and we would definitely return here again.
If you are a person of color you will be treated differently here! Placed an order for pick-up and my partner, who is black, went in to pick it up so we wouldn’t have to find parking. The lady at the counter gave him an incredibly hard time even though he provided the name and everything in the order. She still tried to refuse him the food as someone brought it from the kitchen without a confirmation number which was never provided when completing the online order. Check your prejudice!

I enjoyed a nice bowl of spicy miso ramen while in Richmond briefly. The server was friendly and attentive. The food came quickly and parking was easy to find even in a busy location.The broth has a good depth of flavor and was actually served piping hot, as it should be! The charchu pork is fall off the spoon tender. The noodles have a good chew to them.The egg was seasoned fairly well, but was a bit overcooked. I love a good soft boiled, jammy egg in my ramen. The spicy miso ramen wasn’t particularly spicy, but the bowl did have good flavor.All of the flavors of the broth, noodles, charchu, egg and veggies came together to create a cohesive dish.Overall, this is a great ramen spot. It has a low key, chill vibe. The prices are quite reasonable as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to stop by again the next time I’m in town and would try the tonkatsu ramen next time!

Good affordable little spot. Definitely recommend going for
This is only my second time coming to Ramen Spot. Yesterday was my first time finding them so I had some ramen to-go. Loved it so much had to come back today! My mom and I enjoyed our meal immensely. She had the miso soup (literally the best) and roasted chicken over rice with teriyaki sauce and it was so delicious, better than what you can imagine. I had the Shoyu Ramen, Seaweed Salad and Shrimp Tempura- so good! I can’t wait to come back and try more dishes.
I never write reviews but Today the food that i received disrespected me. I was served HOT WATER as Ramen Broth. I asked for 2 miso soups . They made a big deal over the phone like I was inconveniencing them. I asked for 2 miso soups and got 2 FUNKY HOT WATER SOUPS. NO FLAVOR NO TASTE. I got miso soups before so I know what they look like. I was lied to and i believe it was on purpose.
Extremely bland and sub-par for the price. Frozen ramen from Costco is much better. It may have been because I got the vegetable broth, but still way over-priced for what it was.

Awesome ramen, good service. Only a few tables for dining in.
Pretty mediocre food honestly. Service was a little slow. Really weird bathroom situation. Not terrible just not good but it's cheap and you get good bang for your buck.

The servers were very nice. The ramen was very good. Loved the spider (soft shell crab).
Not to be missed in
