Walked about 5pm and the place only had a few guests in it (a quiet experience), which has been the least busy we have seen it. We were seated right away. I really like the idea of the call button once you are ready to order to avoid multiple check-ins or on the spot decisions for some people who take longer to decided on food. We ordered the spicy miso ramen with additional chicken karrage and extra chili oil to add more spice. The noodles have always been perfect and broth well flavored. Tried the gyudon beef this time too and found the flavor of it to be like bulgogi which was tasty thin sliced beef, with pickled ginger, sautéed onions that were actually translucent so they had a slight sweetness to it, half an open faced egg (it was cold) and a massive bed of rice under the meat. The pan seared dumplings and potato shrimp were delicious served with there creamy dipping sauce. What could have been improved is mostly for the gyudon dish: there was much more rice to meat, I would have liked just bit or and or have the rice been a little more saucy to really absorb the flavor being there was so much rice. read more

Delicious food with generous portions. In my ramen there were shreds of pork belly that were so full of flavor. It's a bit chilly inside but it made the soup taste better. Warm and welcoming staff as well. I did not get the chance to try dessert so I'll have to come back some time. read more

Inu Inu Ramen - Takoyaki - Ramen Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Easy parking. Prompt and friendly service. Delicious appetizers. Potato shrimp and takoyaki tasted hot and delicious. Unfortunately both the Mayu and Inferno ramens were disappointing. The broth for both dishes tasted watered down and not salty enough. I ordered extra bean sprouts but it came in a tiny ice cold side plate suitable for holding soy sauce and things. This consequently caused the broth to get lukewarm fast. The noodles were a bit on the overcooked side too. Maybe I ordered it on their off day. I have no idea. The brown sugar boba had the hardest chewiest pearls I've ever had in a drink. I wouldn't reorder. Other tables were ordering rice based dishes like katsu curry that looked delicious. I wouldn't mind returning but wouldn't order ramen or boba drinks the next time. read more

I came on a Saturday afternoon and got the karage chicken ($7) and inferno ramen ($16). The karage chicken was freshly made (still very hot and crispy!). The sauce complimented the chicken. The ramen eventually came out after about 20 mins, it was definitely worth the wait! The ramen was spicy and savory! Egg was cooked right and had a nice soy flavor. The pork was tender and seasoned well! Noodles were also cooked perfectly! Staff were friendly here. Overall a fantastic ramen meal with good vibes inside. I'd definitely come back here again!

Visited Inu Inu Ramen for the first time.. Another spot i have drove by but i thought Id give them a try. The service was quick and the server recommended that I try their Teas and it was really good - I will return for that alone! I ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen & Gyudon as my entree and it was a good selection & I enjoyed it. I visited during lunch time and it's definitely a convenient choice if you're looking for a casual place to get in and out. AMBIANCE: Casual eatery with raised ceilings, modern lighting, tables, and comfy booths. Theres a button to call waiters & ordering is easy. The space is always clean. The restaurant is comfy for groups snd solo dining. FOOD: I ordered the following things: Appetizers: Deep Fried Gyoza, Chicken Karage, and Bao Buns. Entrees: Tonkatsu Ramen & Gyydon. All the food was really good. My favorites from what i ordered were the Bao Buns and The Gyudon. The flavors were there & very succulent. FYI: They give huge portions & be ready to try something else off their menu. Don't miss out on the rest of their bubble teas, bowls, ramen, appetizers, and deserts. SERVICE: I was very impressed with service during my Visit. The Customer Service was excellent. You are genuinely greeted upon entrance. Waiters are super attentive, responsive, and friendly. #food #foodies #japanesefood #ramen #hillaryduff read more

Takeout was just okay. Let's start with the good -- the pan-fried gyoza were amazing! Super crispy, flavorful, and probably my favorite part of the meal. The strawberry lemonade with popping boba was also delicious and really refreshing -- just a heads-up that it's super fresh, so I found a couple of seeds in mine. I ordered the vegetarian miso ramen with extra tofu. The tofu was fried nicely and had great texture, but the broth just wasn't my favorite and the noodles were kind of meh. I usually like a bit more flavor, so next time I'll try a different broth to see if that makes a difference. read more

I went on a Tuesday afternoon for a late lunch, and it wasn't too busy. The decor was cute and the servers were friendly and well informed, as they answered my questions on the menu. Anyway, I ordered... Shrimp Lolipops - I love it. It's crispy and flavorful. Creamy Chicken Ramen - This is just ok. It lacked depth of flavor and was not as robust as I like it to be. I had a similar creamy chicken ramen in a Japanese restaurant in Singapore last year, and it blew my mind. This one did not come close. Brown sugar boba tea - Good but not great. I've had better. Overall, 3.5 out of 5. read more

Had a taste for ramen and decided to try this place and it didn't disappoint.....we were seated promptly and given menus...we ordered the vegetarian ramen and it was good..they have a button for you to push, when you are ready to be served.

Quick service,the staff were very friendly and attentive. I ordered the deep fried Shumai, which was very fresh! Some of the best Shumai that I have ever had. I also got the creamy chicken ramen, which was mid. I'll definitely try a different flavor when I come back. This restaurant is nice for solo dates, family dates or outings with friends. read more

This place was pretty delicious! I would say probably some of the best ramen I've had in the area. I do think it's run by some Chinese people but doesn't Ramen originally come from China? Service was speedy. Lots of people in the shop. You push a button on the table to call for service otherwise they leave you alone which I really like! I had the ramen with the garlic oil in it. Really delicious! I like that giant piece or two of shashu pork. I didn't think to do anything added and it was really good as is. They do have the kids menu. Some appetizers and some bubble tea type drinks. I just wanted my ramen cuz even though I wasn't hungry, I ate the whole thing! read more

Another date night dinner We arrived around 6:30 and had about a 10 minute wait. Service was super fast as the button made for easy ordering. We ordered: Purple Sweet Potato Fries- Probably our favorite out of all we ordered. Battered in tempura batter then fried to the utmost perfection. Calamari - Squid was perfectly breaded and prepared as it wasn't rubber in the slightest. Creamy Chicken - This ramen and its contents were yummy, but it felt somewhat blank as far as flavor. It needed to have chili oil added to boost any kind of taste in the dish. Mayu - Same issue as above, but this one had slightly better taste. Gyudon - Onions we're caramelized on a sweeter side with complimented the savory flavor of the meat. Great amount of rice included, probably more than needed. Matcha Tiramisu - Super light and fluffy , matcha was very refreshing. read more

I was really excited to try this establishment and was pleased that the wait was minimal. They have ten or so tables so it's not a huge place but it's very inviting. I'm a huge fan of Ramen and have been on the hunt for a closer place (favorite spot is in DC). We were trying to figure out where to go for dinner and my husband suggested this place. Before he finished talking, I think we were all in the car waiting for him to catch up. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We were able to place our orders relatively quickly. We ordered edamame, shrimp tempura, several orders of vegetable miso ramen and the inferno ramen. Everything looked appetizing and freshly made. My husband enjoyed the shrimp tempura and said his inferno ramen was amazing. He said it had the perfect amount of spice (he has a high tolerance). My daughters, granddaughter and I are vegetarian so we got the vegetable miso ramen. It came with plenty of tofu and vegetables but unfortunately the broth lacked flavor. It was extremely bland. When we asked if they offered spice bombs or chili oil we were told no. I may decide to give it another try down the line but in the meantime, I'm still in the search for something to rival the DC spot. read more

Everytime I go here, I spend 65 minutes WAITING. WAITING for my meal. I got the char siu bowl this time around and there's too much rice vs. meat ratio. Price isn't too bad at least, but man, the service was at a snail's pace. Expect being there for 2 hours if you do want to go. The food is good just super carby. read more

The interior was spacious and well decorated. The bathroom was also clean and modern. The service was super easy use with a click of a button at our table. The ramen was great, super creamy and nice chewy noodles. The chicken karaage was so tender and paired with a great sauce. I would love to try more appetizers. Overall would come again! read more

I was craving ramen and heard that Inu Inu Ramen opened not too long ago so I headed over around Noon on a Sunday to dine in. The restaurant was a bit small but thankfully, there were a few open tables so I was able to be seated right away. A server walked me to a table, handed me a few menus and directed me to press the "call" button that's on the table when I'm ready to order. I looked over the menu at the different ramen options and decided on the Inferno. As I waited, I overheard the server mentioning that they were out of a few different items due to them still being in their soft opening phase so keep that in mind. My ramen was served in about 15 mins and it was amazing! The broth was savory, the eggs were cooked perfectly and the pork was tender and flavorful! To me, it wasn't spicy at all but I literally ate the entire bowl. I did have to wait to get someone's attention to refill my water but I'm sure I could've hit the "call" button. I will say as I was finishing up, a family sat next to me on both sides and they were quite close. It would be nice if the tables were a tad bit further apart. As I was leaving (around 1pm), it was pretty packed and folks were standing and waiting to be seated so keep that in mind. Overall, the ramen was very good and the staff were very nice so I'd definitely return! read more

I ordered the pork tonkatsu ramen and subsequently 3 mochi to share with my friend. Pork tonkatsu ramen was okay. The broth wasn't as robust as I normally want it to be. The pork slices were so fatty, there wasn't any lean portions that can be eaten. We chose mihi Mochi flavors of ube, mango and strawberry. The color of the mochi seemed not vibrant color due to being in the freezer for some time! May be an off day...??! read more

I drive by this restaurant all the time and decided to give it a try. Food: I got the hakata tonkotsu ramen and the chicken karaage as an app. The ramen was delicious and creamy. It had a nice flavor, and I love the toppings that it came with. The noodles were bouncy and the slices of pork were packed with flavor. The chicken karaage was standard, it was just lightly breaded chicken that's deep fried. Service: The service was fast and friendly. They greeted us and we were seated immediately. They brought water to the table and told us whenever we were ready to press the button at our table. Our food probably came out 11 minutes, after we ordered. The servers were super nice as well. They do add a fee if you pay by card. Ambiance: I do like the ambiance of the restaurant. It was very clean and spacious. They definitely had space weather you want to do solo dining or with friends! read more

Adorable new ramen restaurant! They are still at soft opening, but they have plenty of menu items available to try including apps, variety of ramens, katsu curry, and donburis. Service was great despite the fact they are soft opening. 5/5 Gyoza: pan fried perfectly 5/5 takoyaki: huge chucks of octopus 5/5 chicken katsu curry with white rice, the chicken was fried so light it was delicious! 4.5/5 inferno ramen, huge portion of chewy ramen, rich fatty bone broth with spicy miso. The pork belly was fatty and melts in your mouth. My only is that the egg was slightly overcooked, but well marinated. Not too spicy, I honestly would ask for more spicy next time. I LOVE katsu and ramen so I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend a try! read more

Stopped by Inu Inu and had a great experience. The ambiance was super cute, and the staff were incredibly friendly and informative. The Maya ramen was rich, garlicky, and perfectly hot--definitely the standout. Honeydew milk tea was dangerously addictive, and the house-made matcha tiramisu was smooth and well-balanced. Solid starters too. I'd definitely come back! - Kee Lashay TV read more

My husband and I originally were going to a different ramen shop but I'm so glad we decided to come back to Inu Inu Ramen. There was no wait time. The servers greeted us and got us a table right away. I love the way the shop looks with their different dog pictures and other Japanese decorations. Just in case anyone does not know, "Inu" means "dog" in Japanese which is the character here that you will see a lot. I have pictures attached of what their bowls look like. The food is delicious. I had the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen and my husband had gotten the Charshu Don rice dish. We also had gotten the Kara-age Calamari as an appetizer which was so yummy. For drinks, I ordered a Mango Fruit Tea which was so sweet and one of my favorites. We'll be back again! read more

When we arrived, we were seated within a few minutes. The inside had nice Japanese decor. For an appetizer we got the potato shrimp, this was delicious. For the main meal I ordered the gyudon, it had a nice sweetness to it and was a very hearty meal. My sister got the Hakata ramen. Japanese ramen is known for rich, delicious broths, which unfortunately was not the case for this ramen. The broth didn't taste good at all. I expected better flavored ramen for a place with ramen in the title. We also had to pay for chili oil to go in the ramen due to the bad flavor. Other ramen places have chili oil available free of charge. We had to get the charge removed because the waiter never brought it to the table but had it on the ticket. Overall, some of the food is good, just not the ramen. read more

This is a cute and new spot in the Virginia Beach area! I think the Shiba Inu theme is a super cute choice for decoration. It makes it stand out! The service was good, you can use the buttons on the table to call the waiter/waitress when you're ready. The ramen was tasty, although some of the broths tasted super similar. I think the highlight of the ramen was the egg and the pork chashu. The pork melted in your mouth, and the eggs were boiled just right with a delicious soy sauce marinade. The chashu bowl was yummy, just pork and a sweet soy sauce on rice. Nothing super special. They used the same chashu for the buns, the ramen, and the bowl. So it was kinda getting old, I wish they changed it up a bit more for each dish. Overall though, a cute new place to add to the ramen scene here in Hampton Roads. read more

Tasty! Not a bad place to grab a quick bite for lunch or dinner. I had the inferno and it had a nice kick! Enjoyed it. But tbh the service was over and beyond great. The server was super helpful and provided recommendations. The place is cute, makes you feel like you are in Japan. The decor was it! They even have little buttons at the table in case you need something. I didn't use it, since my server kept checking on us. Definitely will return. read more

This has been the best ramen restaurant that we have been to in the Seven Cities. After moving from Northern California with several great places, it's good to have somewhere that is on par. The chasu is exceptional in that the fat melts in your mouth. The broth for the tonkatsu is also well done. We also had the chicken karaage and potato shrimp for appetizers, both great choices. The service was prompt and courteous as well. The ambiance was also nice with modern tasteful decor and fun JPoP playing in the background. read more

So so goood! Having recently moved from San Diego, I was in desperate need of a good ramen spot! I'm so glad I found this place! I had chicken katsu curry and it was A+++!!! Service was wonderful too! I can't wait to be back!!! read more

A new ramen spot in Virginia Beach. I've lived in Japan and if you're looking for authentic- this is not the place. First off - the food. In my opinion, it was ok. Our order consisted of: * pan fried gyoza * purple potato fries * chicken karage * chicken katsu curry * and tonkatsu ramen. I also had a Taro Milk Tea. I liked the food however it did lack flavor. Specifically, the ramen. Unfortunately you have to pay $1 for a little sauce platter of chili oil. Most places offer these condiments for free but you pay extra at this establishment. The appetizers were good and crispy. Interestingly the chicken karage tasted like chic-fil-a nuggets. The chicken katsu curry is a good size. You can order an extra chicken patty for $8!! The taro milk tea was ok. Boba was a bit undercooked. The service they offered is excellent. There's a call button on the table you can press for service. The ambiance is like a modern, fun atmosphere with kpop or jpop music. It's family friendly. Would I go back? Probably not. There are other ramen establishments in Virginia Beach that taste more authentic than this place. But to each is their own. Give it a try nonetheless. read more

I was looking for a spot for dinner and this happened to pop up on my feed and said it was soft opening. We decided to give it a try. This is located off va beach blvd in the aldi shopping center. I made reservations on google and got seated once we arrived. The staff were friendly and welcoming and it was really cute inside. This is the perfect spot on a cold day or actually any day because I love ramen. This is delicious authentic ramen!!! I ordered the tonkatsu and it was soo good. The broth had the perfect flavor and the noodle were al dente and not soggy. The pork was super tender and very flavorful. We all finished our bowl and it definitely hit the spot. My kiddos also got the strawberry banana lemonade and it came with boba at the bottle. They loved it! The music playlist that was on that evening was great and we were singing along while eating. We all loved our ramen and thought this was better than the ramen spots close to our house. We will have to come back for more. Definitely give this place a try!! *BONUS* there's a mochi donut spot a few doors down so you can grab dessert read more

Place is cute inside, with all the Japanese and Shiba Inu decor! It was colorful and cool. Staff were extremely friendly and nice. As for the food, as much as I wanted to love it, it was just okay. The pork broth was bland. The pork in my ramen was half fatty, half okay to eat. The fried octopus balls were okay too. I didn't come across much flavor. Parking was ample. Place is located in a popular shopping center. I'd go back to try some of the bubble teas and more of the purple and mango mochi desserts! Yum! read more

Fast efficient service in a nicely appointed setting. It was just a bit too crowded and noisy for me. The decor was cute and whimsical with pictures of the Shibu inu dog eating ramen and smiling. I ordered steamed shrimp shumai, which was very tasty and the creamy chicken ramen, which was a hearty meal full over wonderful flavor from the wood ear mushrooms, the boiled egg, and the tender and creamy chicken medallions in a bed of ramen soup. It was so satisfying with every last bite. Not only was the creamy chicken ramen delicious, the presentation was beautiful! Highly recommend for the food, service, and beautiful place just not on opening day because of the crowds.. read more

Let me be straightforward with you--this place was a major disappointment, and I don't see any other way to describe it. My husband and I decided to give it a shot after spotting some positive reviews online, thinking we'd try a new spot for ramen. We went ahead and ordered the creamy chicken ramen, so my feedback is specifically based on that dish. When our bowls arrived and we dug in, it was honestly one of the most bland and underwhelming ramens I've ever tasted. It felt like a cheap instant noodle pack you'd grab from a convenience store when you're in a pinch--just basic noodles in a broth that tasted like watered-down nothing, with only three tiny pieces of chicken thrown in for good measure. No depth, no flavor, nothing that lived up to the hype. I don't want to come across as just another unhappy customer, but this wasn't my first time here--it's actually my third visit, and each one has left me more disappointed than the last. I'm keeping it real here; I'm not sugarcoating anything. My advice? Save your money and head to a different spot until they figure out how to get their ramen game together. read more

Inu Inu Ramen - Creamy chicken ramen - Ramen Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

I am always on the hunt for great Ramen. I had seen this place when it first opened it sits next to one of my favorite sandwich spots. I'm a Jersey Mikes sub in a bowl fan. Well I had it on my list to try. While perusing the streets of Tik Tok Inu Inu kept popping up on my feed so I just happened to be on that side of town yesterday and decided to grab some takeout for me and my daughter. I got the inferno bowl with extra chili oil on the side I like things hot and spicy. I got my daughter the chicken Katsu bowl normally we frequent fly to Osaka, which is my favorite Ramen spot. I went straight home. The portions were undeniably large I can give them back. I put my bowl together do my usual prayer and began to dig in. I don't know if it was because I had takeout or if the experience dining in is totally different but everyone kept saying it's so flavor packed it had flavor yes but it wasn't as flavorful as others I've had then there was the heat even though I got the extra chili oil inferno it was not. I will try and give it one more chance by dining in, but as it stands right now that Ramen bowl was basic my daughter was kind of upset because I don't know what Osaka does to their Katsu bowl, but she was not feeling it at all. read more

I woke up this morning, craving ramen so we decided to come here and give it a try. We ordered just a few min after they opened and we were already order #8 so others obv had ramen on their minds this morning as well. After reading several reviews, I decided on the inferno ramen. I ordered mine without pork, without seaweed, without fish cake, and I added an extra egg. They gave me pork and seaweed and my extra egg. No biggie. I was able to take the pork and seaweed off and hubby got to eat that as a bonus with his Tokyo ramen. The broth for the inferno was good, but was not spicy enough so I added some chili oil at home. I like my spicy foods to be spicy. Hubby liked his Tokyo ramen and said he would eat it again. We also ordered deep fried shrimp shumai and pan fried gyoza. Both were amazing. Shumai is pretty hit or miss for me. You either make it well or you f it up. They made theirs well. Both appetizers were outstanding. We got there to pick up the food at like 12:20 and the dining room was PACKED. They were full full. There were two others waiting for their to-go orders and then two other sets of four people waiting to be seated. The staff was friendly and the place was cute. I also liked all the doggy decor. I'd come back for sure. read more
