“ This spot is a hidden gem! Honestly wouldn't have known about it unless my brother told me to go. This spot had some really great udon! The noodles were big firm and bouncy while the broth was so warm and cozy. I loved how they had the tempura on the side instead on in it so it didn't get soggy. I really enjoyed eating the bao buns as well and the aged tofu. The service was really fast and kind and honestly the restaurant was so clean and well kept. ”
“ The food here is better than a lot of places that sell the same food. I have been here few times, never was disappointed. Service is also very good. I would recommend this place if you want some Korean/Japanese food. ”
“ With the food we ordered, they also brought around free salad, along with the sides of sauce/veggies. The spicy pickled radish was yummy, and the sliced cucumbers were savory with the sesame oil. The miso soup was tasty, along with the soft and flavorful tofu. The chicken katsu was cooked well and crispy as it should be. We liked the cabbage salad that came with it, being a bit sweet and savory/spicy. The one thing that might have made the dish better was if there was some sauce or curry with the plain sticky rice. The yakisoba has great flavors and refreshing with all the well cooked veggies. The portions were enough for the price as well. The servers were quick to come and they were attentive when we asked for extra hot sauce. It's a small restaurant with fairly open seating. We chose the booth side. It's clean and quiet, no loud music. It deserves a visit for those that like Japanese and Korean food and conveniently located at Pan Am shopping center near the Vienna metro. ”
“ First time here! Big open space and had no issues with seating. I got the spicy chicken ramen and it was fantastic! The bao bun was okay but not bad. Overall we enjoyed our lunch here... not sure if I'll come back again but def worth a try if you haven't been. ”
“ We were large party and they were very gracious. Tons of food was sampled, lots options for everyone's taste including vegans. Solid place for easy get together that doesn't break the budget. ”
“ All of the ramens on the menu looked like instagram material. I tried Yaki Shoyu because it had skewers and Chadol. You can taste grill flavor in Yaki Shoyu, and skewers are very tender. Chadol was decent but had a lot of meats. In terms of portion, it is really generous. Price is little cheaper than Jinya, but portion is much larger. However, it is like Korean Japanese fusion, so if you are expecting typical Japanese ramen, this place is not for you. I would love to try other ones in the menu as well. Service was quick and nice. There was only one sever when I was there, but you would be surprised how quickly everything is served. I personally loved the way it looked inside. It looks modern and clean and has very young vibe. ”
“ Food/Drink, 4.5/5: The food was great! From the buns to the ramen! Everything was good, just enough seasoning and spice. I recommend the buns, the meat was seasoned really well! Pricing, 5/5: Not badly priced for the area that it's in! Service, 5/5: We were one of the first people in the restaurant for the day. Our server was really nice and the food came out quickly! Aesthetic/Atmosphere, 4/5: It's a simple look, but the restaurant looks very clean and simple. Overall Experience, 5/5: I'd come back here for a warm meal! Their food has a nice kick to you! ”
“ Yummy! Perfectly spicy. I happened upon this place and it had the magic word in the name. Ramen!! Newly opened. There were only 2 others in the restaurant. I ordered the spicy volcano miso ramen. It had yummy tender bites of chicken and the ramen noodles were nice and al dente. Plenty of chicken to fill you up. You probably won't need an appetizer unless you can put away some food. The soup came out very close to what the picture looked like on the menu. I'm not even finished eating and will def return to try the other soups. The decor is very simple and Asian chic. The server was nice and prompt and kept the table clean! A nice water pitcher comes to the table. The restroom was super clean. Bonus! Highly recommend if you want some spice ramen noodle soup! ”
