    This was our first stop when we got to DC. My son had the fried chicken and he really liked it. I had the spicy ramen and it was amazing. I've only had real ramen a few times and so far this one is at the top. Service was great, the staff really know what they're doing. The dining room can get a bit noisy depending on who's there. I definitely recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

    This super cute and well-decorated spot boasts an ambiance reminiscent of a bustling izakaya, but with the added bonus of being much more spacious. Ramen Nirvana: I had the Shio Paitan ramen, and it was absolute bliss! The broth was incredibly flavorful and authentic, reminding me of the delicious ramen from Japan. Freshness Reigns Supreme: You can truly taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients in every dish. Plus, everything arrives piping hot and ready to devour. Friendly & Attentive Service: The staff is great. They're friendly, attentive, and happy to answer any questions you might have about the menu.

    Super cool delicious chicken based ramen. I have been a fan of this ramen restaurant for 5 plus years. It's really unique and has a fun tasty menu. I love chicken ramen and this place does it right. The noodles are a great match for the stock. Thin and springy and the stock flavor is rich and deep. Must get an egg topper too! Most importantly, get the rice and chicken drippings. It's so epically good. White rice? Chicken fat flavor of amazing on top? Decadence done right. Service is always great. The tables are separate or along a combined bar like setting. It's normally very busy so I try to go at odd times so I am not waiting. There is not much space in the restaurant for eating or waiting so timing is key. Bathroom is on the top floor, clean and convienent. The decor is fun and modern even though it's been open for a while now. No parking really. I have always walked there from a garage in the area or from the metro. Many a nights watching the capitals and hitting up this spot first. Their desserts are good too and their drinks are delicious. The donut is a meh for me but the sweet tea? I would drink it endlessly. So much sugar. So much joy. Sweet tea done right!

    Such a cute, quirky spot. A great place to meet with friends and enjoy good food. I had the Shoyu Paitan which tasted good, but wasn't my vibe. The garnish was beautiful. Our server also gave us good recommendations. I also tasted the sake which was great. My boyfriend ordered the Nashville fried chicken which he loved (also very filling). This is a place he frequents.
