Behrad EatsJune 27, 2016The Sui Gyoza are delicious boiled chicken dumplings with chili oil that are super meaty with just a hint of heat.
- Behrad EatsJune 27, 2016We loved the Shoyu Tori Paitan Ramen but whichever Ramen you choose, make sure to add on the roasted chicken quarter!
- Behrad EatsJune 27, 2016Don't like ramen? There might be something wrong with you, but they got you covered w/ the massive Fried Chicken Dinner including mac & cheese, corn on the cob, coleslaw, mashed potatoes, & biscuits!
- Greig RoselliAugust 10, 2017In the Summer, cuz it's hot, try the cold chicken Ramen. Also the bathroom has a mess of rooster photographs. Talk about sticking consistently to one's branding.
Julia MMay 21, 2017fun vibe, awesome servers. Their CHINTAN is absolutely amazing. Ask for Shio Chintan (secret menu). Fried chicken plate is on point - chicken drippings over rice. Spicy miso ramen good too.
Kelsey HuseDecember 9, 2017This place is one of the best Ramen I've ever had - spicy miso is so good, not that spicy really but you can add spice.
- Lucas BlairJuly 19, 2019Spicy miso is the best around DC. Skip going Daikaya around the corner. This place has the great ramen you are looking for.
- Hannah AlkadiNovember 3, 2023Super cute place for halal ramen! The creamy chicken ramen was incredible and the fried chicken out of this world. 🍜
- Adriel BarnettMay 14, 2017The Spicy Miso Ramen was incredibly and extremely rich in flavor and had a really nice thick broth. Thought it was cool how it was a non pork ramen spot.
michael kellerOctober 12, 2019The spicy miso was really good. I went with the spice bomb for more heat. I got a little sweat going, but it didn’t leave my mouth burning.
abigail.March 22, 2017They do have a veggie ramen it's just not on the menu. It comes with butternut squash - next time I'll ask them to hold it as it doesn't add anything to the (very good) ramen.
The ramen is excellent. Be sure to get the rice with chicken drippings. It’s small but it’s so rich and delicious.
Danielle DaSilvaJuly 12, 2018SUPER casual, SUPER chicken ramen. Eclectic decor, awesome food, and a rotating cocktail on draft; can't be beat!
Hot chicken is great. Rice with the chicken drippings is a must. Spicy miso is great, too.
Nicole BinuyaApril 25, 2019Ramen is great but limited selection with the same toppings for all kinds. Skip the fried chicken if you're looking for spicy.
The food is good, but if you get takeout, there’s a very good chance they’ll forget a portion of your order.
Sunny KimAugust 24, 2016Service was disorganized and lacking. It took four people until I finally got my order in. The food was mediocre with the exception of sui gyoza. Will not be coming back.

"The Sapporo-style Shoyu offers a lot of complexity and depth to its flavor due in part by the sautéed garlic, onions, bean sprouts, and ground pork. Do it big with some extra nitamago and pork belly!"

"Spicy ramen ftw. I still dream about it...."

"One of the most authentic Chinese restaurants in DC's gentrified Chinatown! A lot of legit Chinese dishes. I'd recommend the Signature Lamen and the Handmade Dumplings. Good meal for around $20."
