It's our first time here at super kyuramen. The food was great and ambience was stunning. Our server Elisah was amazing, very professional and welcoming. read more

steven was literally the goat best server ever he was so sweet and so was the hostes it also didn't take long to be seated .

Came here for my husband's birthday and we were lucky enough to get the table upstairs without a reservation. What a cool experience! The service was nice and efficient from check-in, getting our food to paying our bill. We liked all our food....ramen, fried calamari, boba, and 3 sushi rolls (all cooked and veggies). Next time I will try their sashimi and that would be a make-or-break moment for me. read more

Super Kyuramen was hit or miss for us during our first visit!! First off, whoever designed and decorated this place did an amazing job. It's adorable inside with the honeycomb seating and a small hallway with private rooms tucked behind. The menus and food presentation are also really inviting. But they definitely have some kinks to work out. First - we stood at the entrance wondering where the host was so we could get a table. Several employees walked past us without saying anything. Um, hello? Finally, the host got to us and apologized. There were a couple of seats in the honeycomb but she said they were reserved. Womp, womp. So, we got a normal table. We ordered some sushi and ramen. Everything was presented beautifully, but the flavor wasn't there for some of the dishes. Especially in the ramen! The beef and street cup ramen were so bland. The meats and broths especially. Disappointing! We sent them both back, sadly. The sushi was more successful. We got the toro uni appetizer that came out beautifully presented with dry ice. So cute! And very yummy. The fish was tender and well seasoned, and uni very creamy. We also got the sushi carousel which is very playful the way it rotates. I found the fish cut well, not too big and fresh. The omurice is definitely a must order! Again - presentation so good. They cut the egg in front of you and pour the gravy over it. And it was tasty! But, it could have used a bit more salt. If you're looking for a cute spot to eat, this is definitely the place. But, the food could use some work. read more

Went for the more unique dishes here, such as the Mentaiko Cream Udon and the Lobster Chashu Salad Balls. These two dishes were decent but nothing mind-blowing. The ramen was very good with the spice that was for on the side. The ambiance and layout of the restaurant was very nice. I would easily say that this is definitely an Instagram worthy location. Service was very good, thank you Destiny for your attentiveness! read more

The ambience is amazing and very IG worthy. We had one of those rooms and I'd love to check out the honey comb seating next time. We tried the ramen and shared the okonomiyaki as appetizers. The ramen was quite spicy and salty so I didn't finish the broth but overall pretty good. read more

I wish they were closer to downtown bc I could see myself here a lot!! We split a number of things, including the sushi conveyor, the omurice, the mentaiko udon, pan fried gyoza, spicy chilli dumplings, karaage, Yinyang ramen, cherry blossom jelly, matcha pudding, and a brown sugar boba. Everything was delicious, but I especially liked the mentaiko and the chili dumplings. Our server was really nice and apologetic about how slow the food and drinks came out. The honeycomb seating was super cute and made for a really fun atmosphere. My biggest complaint was that while the menu and the illustrations were super cute, I would've appreciated more detail about certain dishes (like the sushi conveyor) read more

Came here with a large group (6 people). They have the Japanese-style rooms but they are not big at all. 6 would be the ideal number. They do have 1 party room. As for the food, I got the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen. They have an option of "spicy" & "hot". Depending on your spice tolerance, I felt like the "hot" was not spicy, like mouth numbing, but it did have a good flavor to it. A good spice that can also have you enjoy your food. I would recommend the corn ribs appetizer and the squid (not pictured). The squid comes with a spicy seasoned soy sauce that added some flavor to it. read more

Fun ramen place with an extensive menu and ample and eclectic seating. The private booths with different themes are like little train cabins. Would love to sit in the graphic novel library one next time. The wooden plates to write your name and message and hanging by red threads is like an inviting canopy. Attentive service. Now to the food: Vegetable miso ramen 5/5-broth is light, the addition of dumplings makes it heartier. Kale noodles instead of usual white is a welcome addition too. Steamed chicken dumplings (ordered without chili oil) 5/5-vanished from kid's plate before we knew it. Steamed pork bao buns 3/5-pork was a tad chewy and the bun too doughy. Popcorn chicken 5/5 Kyoto Veggie Tempura Roll 6/5-there continues to remain a dearth of vegetarian rolls beyond avocado and cucumber, this one was an exception. Burst of flavor from truffled yuzu and kizami wasabi. The asparagus tempura wrapped and presented inside a lettuce leaf shaped like a flower is beautiful. Purple rice add to the visual appeal.

The vibe and aesthetic of this place is really cool! It was on our list to try since we are big ramen lovers. The service was unfortunately a little so-so and they're working out some kinks from being somewhat newly opened, like not having their liquor license. The ramen and apps were delicious overall though! read more

Almost like we inconvenienced her by being there. * restaurant is new yet paper menus look old and messy.

I have been here twice, it's been delicious! The amazing lemonade is refreshing! I got the appetizer sampler, the popcorn chicken, the tofu, shrimp, and edamame were simply delectable! I really enjoyed the tonkotsu ramen, pieces of the charushu were so tasty! It's a very cute vibe here, definitely on my favorite places! read more

The Kyushu Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen is the right amount of spicy, nice firm noodles, plenty of vegetables and for a limited time, there is a sign at the bottom of the bowl. If you get a certain sign, you get a free meal or drink. Truffle Salmon Carpaccio was a favorite--lovely truffle sauce with roe with salmon. A bit salty but still delicious. Kaiten Sushi Carousel is mainly for vibes and ambiance. It's cute because it rotates but it is a lot of rice to fish ratio. Premium Sashimi boat was good but the ebi was very slimy. It had plenty of variety and the quality was alright. Lovely staff but some times they forgot about us. We got Thai tea after and they took 10 minutes before we were able to flag anyone down and they didn't have tapioca for my friend. And the server kind of gas lit us into thinking there was. But we could see there was none... so we told her again there was none when we tried it and she left and came back and said "oh the reason why we don't have it is because we ran out"... It kind of was a bit annoying that they charged us the extra topping and it was a very weird interaction because we could obviously tell the tapioca was not there and they took a really long time to tell us that they were out and they left the charge on. read more

Weekend lunch. First time visiting. Social media marketing is what brought me in, but the food and service fell so short of expectations that I left feeling like I'd been baited by the hype. - (3/5) Honeycomb Platter $13.49 - (2/5) Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen (Black Garlic) $17.99 - (2/5) Katsuobushi Pork Ramen $17.99 - Extra Noodles $3.00 - (1/5) Matcha Pudding (Slurp & Win, Red Stamp) Sadly, this experience felt all too typical: average food and forgettable service. Ramen broth lacked the depth and richness that are hallmarks of good Japanese ramen, and overall the food fell noticeably below the standard I generally expect from Japanese cuisine. Service was equally underwhelming. Staff interactions felt indifferent and transactional, with little effort made to be welcoming or attentive. read more

You can tell the restaurant is fairly new. They're sorting through things. It seemed a bit unorganized, every few mins the staff would bring someone else's food or beverage to our table and we had to tell them we didn't order it. The bubble tea spot located inside of the restaurant ran out of milk tea and when they made more I tried it and mine tasted like coffee lol. I would say this is a spot to come back to when everyone is trained up. It was a bunch of college looking students. I'll steer clear for now. We didn't make a reservation and came here on the fly on a weekday for dinner. There was a short wait so we hung out and ordered bubble tea. I got the milk tea with bubbles it was a 2/5. It didn't taste at all like milk tea. It tasted like coffee. Initially they told us they had ran out but were making a fresh batch. I may have gotten the wrong thing though. My husband ordered their fruit tea which was actually really good and refreshing. Whenever we try this place again I'll get their fruit tea. After 15 mins a table was ready for us. We ordered the ramen 2 person B1 Classic combo. It comes with an app, entree, and two desserts. The broths were actually decent. It surpassed my expectations in regards to flavor. It was so chaotic I didn't think it would actually be good. Popcorn chicken 4/5 Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen 3.5/5 Sapporo Miso Ramen 3.5/5 MatchaPudding w. Red Bean 2/5 Japanese Cherry Bicesom Jelly 3/5 There's some good deals on the menu. Also, there's opportunity for freebies. The interior is nice and there parking but it's for the entire shopping lot so parking may be limited. read more

Do yourself a favor and skip the wagyu fried rice... for almost $30 you'd expect a bit more than tiny little pieces of beef which is falsely advertised on the menu with bigger chunks. The fried rice was nothing special and nothing else in it besides some egg. There was also a huge puddle of oil under. The service was also okay... we pressed the call button multiple times which didn't seem to work. The other dishes I did enjoy! I really liked the cucumber salad, lobster balls, corn ribs, shrimp tempura, and speciality sushi! The yakitori platter, ramen, and mapo udon were standard. The fruit drinks were also good but nothing special. They were out of a bunch of items like the omurice, mentaiko udon, grilled squid, etc. Overall this is a mixed bag depending on what you order, but I did enjoy the ambiance and decor. I hope to try the out of stock items next time. read more

Expect to wait. It took 45 mins for 3 of us to get a seat on a Friday night. The place is big and there are many open spots but there doesn't seem to be enough staff. The Super in the name should suggest the size of the menu. I counted the 70+ options (not including the bubble teas) while I waited. That can be overwhelming both for you and the staff. The decor is quite polished. I like the dimmed lanterns, small private rooms, and the overall Japanese vibe but the hexagons weren't working for me. It is still a pretty spot for a date or a hangout. Getting a parking out front would be like pulling a Charizard. It's a busy area. Don't fret though. Drive all the way to the right side of the buildings. There's a big, free parking lot next to Hello 2 India. Oh, btw, don't stop by Hello 2 India for Tuesday dinner because they have a portal straight to India's street food stalls. We got 3 ramen bowls, takoyaki, matcha tiramisu and matcha pudding. My Japanese friends have high standards on ramen so my view can be a little skewed but objectively speaking for the general population around the area, the ramen here was fresh and delicious. If you don't get the spicy version, the soup can feel very rich. I was reading a review about Andrei being the most friendly, helpful waiter while I was waiting and we were so stoked when our server showed up with the name tag "Andrei"!! Dude has a good aura. He recommended #3 Shoyu beef ramen, #6 Spicy Tonkotsu ramen, Paradise roll for sushi, and matcha tiramisu. I tried two of his recommendations and they were fantastic! I'll be back for the sushi later! Don't go there super hungry but definitely check it out! read more

Super Kyuramen is their new location in Herndon! I began with the Thai iced tea which was refreshing and a great way to kick things off. For food, I tried the Negima yakitori and really enjoyed it. It was juicy and not dry at all with good flavor throughout. For my main, I had the Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen which was really comforting in the rainy weather. The chashu pork was tender and not dry and the broth had a nice richness to it. To finish, I had the matcha tiramisu. It was decent and enjoyable but a bit one-note in flavor compared to the rest of the meal. Our server Christian was really sweet and kind. It was a really enjoyable experience overall! Good especially for a rainy day! read more

I got the ika geso kara-age (fried calimari), the sweetness of the squid was apparent & mentaiko cream udon was chewy and well balanced. I wish it was slightly thicker cream sauce but still coat the udon well. Friend got the Kyuramen street cup & Tokyo Oden bowl and liked it. Andrei was a friendly and attentive server. The overall restaurant was also very pretty from the decorations down to the plates and bowls. read more

The ambiance was really neat and our server was really friendly. It was also cool that we could get bubble tea from the TBAAR next door. I've never had ramen that had a split soup base like how they do it at some hot pot places so that was a good idea. Nice night out with a girlfriend! read more

Super Kyuramen - Yinyang bowl - Izakaya Near Me - Herndon, Virginia

Wow...Izakaya's are popping up everywhere and I'm glad there is one in Herndon now. Super Kyuramen is located in the fairly new shopping center close to where Centreville Rd/Elden St crosses the Toll Road. It is in the same shopping center as Peter Chang and Paris Baguette. The Izakaya theme is alive and well here...looks like you are stepping into a restaurant in Japan with the blond wood, lanterns and Japanese lettering/signs. Pretty cool... They have private rooms which is also typical but what isn't typical is their elevated tables which are accessed via a staircase so that you have semi private dining far above the rest of the restaurant. Nice addition which would make for a cool date spot. We score one of those tables...sweet. Service- they have many young waiters/waitresses and they are all very nice. Service was a bit slow and I'm not sure if it was because we were seated on the elevated tables or if they are just working out the kinks. The menu spans across the typical fare - sushi, rolls, ramen, fried rice, etc. Lots to choose from which is why I love Izakayas. Our order- Tonkatsu Omurice with curry sauce Mapo Todu Udon Yellowtail roll Lobster Potato Salad roll Very enjoyable. Thought the Lobster Potato Salad roll was the best of the bunch. Love the new addition to the Herndon scene and will be back to try other options read more

We visited during their soft opening last weekend and overall had a pleasant experience. The wait time was very reasonable, and the staff were all friendly. The space itself is absolutely beautiful. The restaurant has a unique Japanese-inspired alley concept with small private rooms that have different themes, which gives it a cozy vibe. One thing to note, because the rooms are small and enclosed, it can get a bit loud depending on the crowd. The menu offers a wide variety of options. The A5 wagyu fried rice was delicious, although I do wish there was a bit more wagyu included. The calamari was also good. The ramen was decent. So nice to see they have chicken and vegetable broth options. We tried the Shoyu Chicken Ramen and the Shoyu Beef ramen. The beef was a bit chewy, but it's still good. I ordered their spicy sauce, but it tasted like it incorporated non-Japanese flavors. The food took a bit long to come and did not come at the same time, but it's kind of expected, especially during their soft opening. One nice surprise was the tea/drink bar. They offer bubble tea, which was actually quite good and a fun addition. Will definitely go back for the drinks! Overall, this is a visually stunning restaurant with great service and some standout dishes. I think the concept would feel stronger if the menu stayed more focused on authentic Japanese cuisine rather than mixing in other influences. I would consider coming back to try their other menu. read more

Stopped by Super Kyuramen late Monday afternoon with a friend, just looking to relax with a few appetizers and drinks. We found out the bar isn't open until late May,but honestly, it didn't slow us down one bit. We pivoted to some nonalcoholic drinks and dove straight into the food, and I'm really glad we stayed. We ordered a spread of appetizers and, for the most part, they absolutely delivered. The spring rolls were fresh and light, the lobster salad balls were incredibly refreshing, and the shrimp tempura was perfectly crisp without feeling heavy. The pork belly and steak skewers were both packed with flavor and cooked just right. The only miss for us was the octopus,it was a bit overcooked and came out a little rubbery,but everything else more than made up for it. My dining partner ordered the Japanese omelette and could not stop talking about it (always a good sign), and I went with the steak ramen. The broth alone was worth the visit,rich, comforting, and full of depth,and the steak was cooked perfectly. The space itself is stunning,open, airy, and full of these really cool private dining areas that I can already tell will be a whole vibe at night. We were there during daylight, but I'm calling it now: in the evening, this place is going to absolutely pop. Another nice touch--our leftovers were thoughtfully packaged, and we were even given an insulated bag to take everything home, which I appreciated more than they probably realize. Considering this is still a soft opening, the team did a wonderful job taking care of us. There's clearly a lot of potential here, and I'm genuinely looking forward to seeing everything in full swing soon. We'll definitely be back. read more

I seldom eat ramen as the majority of places that I've tried aren't memorable enough to go back. Super Kyuramen has changed my mind. I've been to Super Kyuramen on two different occasions; one for take-out and dine-in during lunch hours on a weekday. No wait during their soft opening. Upon walking in, the interior is stunning and appreciate the natural light and wooden finishes. +Shoyu Beef Ramen-beef, bamboo shoot, corn, wakame, scallion, nori, half marinated egg +Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen (White & Black Garlic)-chasu & same ingredients as above Firstly, I love the texture of the noodles. Perfectly chewy. It just gets better & better. Next, the meat is tender. Broth is flavorful without it being too thick to drink. The take-out utensils are individually wrapped and comes with chopsticks, napkin and toothpick. Everything appears to be thoughtfully executed from the interior design to the take-out packaging. No fears of spillage as the food was carefully and securely wrapped. The noodles were also separated from the broth and food was still piping out to enjoy without having to microwave. My friend recommended to try the Sauerkraut Pepper (they offer additional spices such as Cayenne Pepper and Shichimi Togarashi). The staff kindly was able to put all of these options in the take-out bag. I enjoyed the take-out experience that made me want to experience dining in. This time I got to sit inside the wooden booth with the octagonal centerpiece. Fun experience! There was some loud construction happening in preparation for their grand opening though was able to look past it. The staff let me know they were installing a fancy hand dryer as they will not be offering paper in the restrooms to dry hands. Looking forward to coming back multiple times so that I can say I've tried everything on the menu. read more

If you want delicious food, you should definitely come here. I recommend making a reservation if you want to come here because it seems busy pretty much all day. I requested to sit in a honeycomb in my reservation because they're so cute! This restaurant is so beautifully decorated, it is very similar to izakaya nana in chantilly. They have a separate tea shop where you can come and order just that if you want to or you can also order from your table. I ordered a spicy vegetable miso ramen and the flavor was amazing and it came with a lot of toppings. It was my first time trying omurice and I loved the flavor, I can't wait to eat it again. They also do a cool show of cutting the omurice with a large knife and pouring the sauce on top. Our waitress was really kind and patient and our food came out quickly. I had a great experience at this restaurant even though it is fairly new and quite busy. read more

This place is super cute! It looked like it has lots of seating, but we still made a reservation. We got a private enclosed room, free of noise and chaos. This is super nice if you want to come do work or have a meeting or family gathering. We were told this location Kyuramen is the only one in nation with sushi! Unfortunately we didnt try any sushi, but it the menu was hefty. We ordered some ramens, omurice combo, and the chicken karagge. All the food was good. The ramen couldve had more meat. It had 2 thin slices of chasu. The pork tonkatsu was superrrrrr light and crispy! And the omurice was a whole show, youll have to order it to see. I am giving it 3 stars because the chicken karage and the omurice came out at least 20 minutes after the ramen. The server was apologetic about it, but did not offer to comp anything and/or ask if we wanted something while we wait. 2 of the 3 of us were eating 20 minutes before the other person. I know the restuarant is new and they might still be working out some things, but it was kinda ridiculous. However, I am intrigued by the menu and would come back to try other things. read more

Kyuramen x TBaar just opened up and we stopped in to try their boba and snacks. We opted for the non-caffeinated options and tried their yogurt strawberry drink and mango slushie! Both were made with fresh fruit which made it not too sweet and artificial, and very refreshing on a hot day. I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of their drinks menu. We also ordered a fried chicken to go, which we thought would have fried basil with it based on the picture from the menu. However, when we opened the to go container, there wasn't any basil and the chicken was a little soggy, which was disappointing. The seasoning + sauce and the texture of the chicken itself was great though! I also appreciated that the to go bag was insulated and very nice quality. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous! Expect slightly slower service time as they just opened but we're very excited to come back and try their full menu as they ramp up! read more

We got there around 5:25pm on a Wednesday evening and there were no other tables in the main area but us. It was just me, my husband, and toddler. It looked fully staffed as servers are walking around, some workers sitting at the bar, and 2-3 hosts. No one came to take our order, gave us water, or checked in on us. They kept passing us and avoided eye contact. We had to stop the host that was passing by twice and notified her that we didn't have a server. Eventually we got Christian and he was apologetic because something happened to our original server. He took care of us even though it wasn't his section and we're super grateful. We've put in our order for tonkatsu ramen, taro milk tea, two skewers, and the pork omurice. The menu looked great and offered a lot of options. Our food came out at a good time but the omurice took 30 minutes. Our server was apologetic again but I wish we knew it would take longer than the other food items. Food overall was pretty decent but my rice under the egg was getting close to spoiled. It had a little sour taste. Tonkatsu ramen was good but a tad salty for me. The taro milk tea is pretty standard. I was really looking forward to enjoying this new spot but I think the service and being overlooked really took away from the experience. read more

After watching this place on social media, Daughter really wanted to give this place a try. Upon entering, we see that the restaurant is huge, with tall wooden tables that have wooden roofs, hexagonal domes with tables that seat up to 2-5 people, and a huge grayscale mural of three chefs making ramen broth. Regular tables are scattered around as well. Meanwhile, if you go into a passageway in the back corner, you'll find a hallway that has a few private rooms. Our room had two traditional Japanese paintings on the walls behind our booths and overlooking our table were small mounted hexagonal ceramic bowls with Kyuramen's logo on it. Across from our room was a room that was covered in anime posters. We would've loved to have this room, but there was already another party in there. There were a few other rooms that had different themes. There was a slight wait, but we were almost immediately seated. We ordered the following: Classic Japanese Omurice with curry sauce- We didn't order the combo because we didn't want the Tonkatsu. Daughter liked the omurice a lot and said it was delicious. She said that it was nice and soft. She liked the presentation of cutting the egg open. Kaiten Sushi carousel (8 pieces)- It's an 8-piece sushi presentation served on a miniature interactive revolving belt setup. Hubs said that the presentation was very cute but it wasn't all fish. There was avocado and squid as part of the 8 and it was disappointing. There was also too much rice in the sushi. Premium sashimi- serving size is for 1-2 people- this entree was served with dry ice and smoking. Daughter said that the presentation was very impressive. She said that the sashimi was pretty good and buttery. Hubs also liked the presentation and said that the sushi was fresh. The sashimi were nice and thick. Due to a miscommunication with the waiter, we were under the impression that the Ice Matcha Latte was an ice matcha tea. However, once we talked with the waiter some more, he told me that it doesn't come ice. So, instead I opted for the Lychee lime green tea with 25% sugar and it was pretty good. Daughter and Hubs got hot green tea. We were charged for the Ice Matcha Tea and didn't catch it till after the fact. Service was friendly and quick. Parking was a bit hard to find and we ended up parking in a lot next door. The first three hours are free, so that was good. We saw this place on social media and saw that this was one of 2 Super Kyuramen to have sushi in the US. The other one is located in Las Vegas. We were really happy to be able to give this place and will definitely return when in the area to try other items on the menu! read more

I decided to give this place a try after seeing so many people online eating there over the past few months, and let me just say, it did not disappoint! Staff were super kind and accommodating (I wanted to sit in a specific spot and they were kind enough to allow me to wait for it to free up.) Hostess was a sweetheart and Bianca was an excellent waitress with great recommendations! The food was great. I got the corn ribs, the Shoyu Beef Ramen, the Veggie pan fried gyoza, and the matcha tiramisu (not pictured because it was devoured). The ramen and the corn were delicious, the gyoza could've used more flavor but otherwise everything was delicious! Their Thai tea was good too. All in all, I will definitely be back! read more

This place is new and close to my house, and I've seen a lot of people posting about it on Instagram, so I wanted to give it a try. The restaurant itself is beautiful, with a unique design and great atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the experience. We ordered both beef and pork skewers, but the food runner couldn't tell us which was which when serving them. Since I don't eat beef, we had to figure it out ourselves. As for the food, it was okay but nothing special. The flavors were average, especially considering the higher prices. Overall, the ambiance is the highlight of this place, but the food and service didn't justify the cost for me. Glad I tried it once, but I probably wouldn't come back. read more

Izakaya style Japanese restaurants seem to pop up left and right in the area, and the Super Kyuramen concept in Herndon is among the newest. Boasting the brand's trademark, hexagonal booths as well as themed Instagram ready private dining rooms, this place is already a fixture on social media. As such, my wife and I felt initially a bit wary of the culinary offerings for fear of style over substance, but the food we sampled hit the mark. We arrived during peak Sunday lunch hours and found a small wait already formed; by the time we left the queue was even longer. As such, consider reservations, especially if you want the signature booths or private rooms. We ordered three small plates, a sushi roll, and a bowl of ramen to share among two adults and one baby, which ended up being the perfect amount of food for lunch. The bao arrived first and we enjoyed the meltingly tender, braised pork belly. I have had fluffier steamed buns elsewhere, but the meat quality and taste was great. The karaage also arrived crispy yet light and juicy; the version we sampled here is a favorite in the area. The chawanmushi offered a silky, jiggly egg pudding topped with snappy ikura and stuffed with a generous chunk of abalone as well as some surimi. The custard had a bold seafood aroma which made for a surprisingly flavorful bite. We couldn't resist a raw seafood preparation and so ordered the "paradise deluxe" roll. The roll tasted much better than expected with excellent quality raw fish including fresh scallop and tuna. The rice texture was decent and the ratio of seafood to rice was favorable. Finally, we went for an order of spicy ramen. Despite Kyuramen being a ramen chain, I found the bowl the nadir of the meal. The ramen cookery showed competence with chewy noodles, a jammy egg, and tender slices of chashu pork, but I found the broth a little thin. Service here ran smoothly despite a few hiccups on our end, and our waitress was easily available even though the restaurant grew quite busy. The price points for the food possess a wide range, so it is feasible to either have a high value meal or splurge. Overall, though we were skeptical initially, Super Kyuramen's very good Izakaya fare earns a strong four stars from me, and my wife and I are looking forward to sampling more of the menu. read more

Super Kyuramen was really fun and the food was delicious. The host was lovely and helped us get on the waitlist, which is cool because you can see where you are in line before they seat you. We took the time to look at the two paper menus. I hope they get them laminated soon, because they are really cool menus. One for ramen and other items, as well as another for sushi. We were seated by the manager and greeted by Baryn, our server who was great. I talked about the restaurant and the reviews I had seen on Yelp beforehand, and he was very professional. For being only open for two months, they are doing a really great job with all of the moving parts. He was a fantastic server! We ordered the Paradise Roll, the Pork #1 rated on the menu ramen, as well as the beef ramen. It was very very tasty. They have a cute little tree where you can draw on a bamboo plaque of sorts. That was fun. I drew up one while we waited on our food. They are in the process of getting their sake bar together, but I believe as time goes on, this place will exceed your expectations. Thank you, Super Kyuramen. read more

We had high hopes for this newly opened location after enjoying another Kyuramen restaurant, but our dining experience was disappointing. The interior looks excellent since it's new, with high ceilings; everything appears great, and we loved the Japanese-themed ambiance immediately. However, upon sitting down, we noticed flaws right away, beginning with a wobbly table and a sticky tabletop, not to mention a sticky menu as if someone had splashed ramen soup on it and didn't bother to clean it. We asked for a new table and appreciated that they were able to change it. Compared to its other location, this one has many more menu items, which is great. We arrived right at noon, but they had already sold out of Omurice, which was unexpected. The Yingyang Bowl looked good, but the broth was salty, especially with the spicy ramen, and it seemed like there could have been more ramen noodles. The yakitori platter was good, but the portions were small. The Wagyu on Wagyu fried rice looked smaller than the picture on the menu, as it had only small pieces. Our drinks arrived much later, toward the end of our meal. Although they tasted good and were refreshing, drinking them without accompanying food wasn't ideal. Overall, there's room for service improvement. We booked a table days in advance, but when we arrived, our table wasn't ready, even though the restaurant wasn't full and there were available seats. Staff led us to a table in direct sunlight that was wobbly and unhygienic. They did change us to another table after we requested, which we appreciated. However, another group arrived after us without a reservation and was seated at the honeycomb table, and switching tables was not pleasant. We were disappointed by many aspects of today's dining experience, and we will return once these issues are addressed and improvements are made. read more

I placed a pickup order for a Sapporo Miso Ramen, Pork Bao and Thai Iced Tea, and I did not receive my Pork Bao, very disappointing as to waste my money as this was my first visit here and I regret not checking my bag before leaving but it was sealed shut. Even though this ramen was supposed to be mild there is still a good amount of spice to it, I just thought it was ok. The Thai tea was decent and they have very nice packaging and aesthetics overall. When arriving to pick up my order it seemed like just telling them my name wasn't enough to get my order so be prepared to have your receipt ready to show them. Would I come back again, absolutely not, people who essentially steal your money aren't worth your business. read more

Was excited to hear about this Super Kyuramen opening, we went there on Memorial Day. I highly recommend making a reservation as it seemed busy and I can only imagine it will get busier as more people find out about it as well as on weekends. The location feels a bit like you're in Japan with a little Japanese alleyway and a fun little "upstairs" with a few small tables. There are some larger spaces to accommodate larger parties with privacy too. Service was a little strange while everyone was super friendly, we ordered a mix of Yakitori (and gyoza) and noodles and our "appetizers" came out relatively quickly but the food was all luke warm. Compared to Izakaya Nana in Chantilly where the Yakitori comes out sizzling and can be very hot, all of the Yakitori here seemed like it had been sitting around and was not even kept hot. The taste was overall good but it was just strange to receive them just luke warm. The gyoza was good as well but also suffered from the same temperature issue. Maybe our food was sitting at the pass for a long time and got cold. After that, we waited what felt like a long time for our noodles. I expected the noodles would show up relatively quick because ramen normally doesn't take long to come out. I didn't time it, but it was at least 20 minutes from the time the our first round of food came out and the second. The Tonkatsu ramen was good, the black garlic adds a good flavor but not the best I've had in this area. I would definitely order it again. The Chashu was just ok too, kind of tough and chewy if you like your Chashu like that. Overall, this is still a new location and I hope they resolve some of their slow service and food temperature issues. I've tried Izakaya Nana, Genki Izakaya and now Super Kyuramen and I think all have their pros and cons. The food here is pretty good and Super Kyuramen is the closest to my house, so I'll definitely be back and hope they improve! read more

We made a reservation and glad we did. Lots of open space but not tons of tables. People were definitely waiting. Ambiance is beautiful. There was a bit of wait for Ramen which I was confused about but our dishes were delicious. Keep in mind they charge $1.50 for chili sauce. That was unexpected. Parking is a bit of a challenge. Very tight lot. Youll eventually find parking but its not a fun lot to be in. But that's not their fault. read more

Decor: The hexagon/honeycomb pattern is the theme. The signature seating is the honeycomb wall. Not sure if you need to reserve or request those booths. Food: started with Honeycomb appetizer. Nothing special. Tofu was the best but you only get one piece. Also got Sapporo Miso ramen and Omurice combo. Ramen was just okay. When the Omurice comes out, they cut the egg in front of you with a fancy dagger to show that the egg was cooked correctly. A little much IMO. More important is that the taste was rather, meh. I wouldn't get it again. Chose matcha pudding with the combo, yuck! It's a dessert, perhaps a little sweetener would be nice. Service: Here is where I had the most issue. There seemed to be a lot of young, inexperienced staff. It was hard to tell who was on duty and who was off. Employees were eating at the bar and all of their personal belongings in plain sight. It didn't look professional. It's in a new shopping center. We went at an off time but I could see parking being tight. read more

Close to IAD airport and I stopped by because of flight delays. Place is clean and the staff is very friendly. Edamame was hit and tasty. Sashimi was decent but I felt there were some pieces that were not as fresh as I wanted but overall it was as expected however The karage was not; nothing serious but I dont think they used panko or potato starch and therefore not very crispy as most Japanese karage is. I think they just used a normal batter of egg and flour? Overall it was a great place to hang out before my flight and I would go again to try other items. read more
