Went to this place on a Friday night with a party six and you would have thought we asked them to…read moresacrifice their first born. Absolutely awful customer service and they were extremely rude when we questioned the added "gratuity"charge on our bill. The ramen was the worst ramen I had ever tasted. 99¢ ramen has more of a flavor profile than what they serve. I will give them two stars for the tofu appetizer and tasty cocktails. Wouldn't recommend if your party is larger than two.

My husband and I came here on a little date night during our hiking trip with the dogs back in…read moreOctober and had so much fun. We left the dogs at the Airbnb and drove over here for some sake and ramen and everything was amazing. We were seated right away and each got a handshake ~ sake style ~ and split an order of their wings. They were cooked perfectly and were SO flavorful. We each got a ramen - I got the Momo Chicken and my husband got the Mr. Spicy. We shared a little of the broth from each so we could try them both and they were equally delicious and very filling. Our server was friendly, checked on us often, and made sure we had plenty of water. We also got a couple of their bottles to-go so we could bring them back home to share with my sister and BIL. They are located in such a neat arts district with lots of other businesses and local art outside. They have a huge patio with different seating options and there is tons of parking. If we are ever back in VA we will stop in again.

We had a very good experience at Bang! Server was…read moreexperienced and very familiar with the menu, patient, and offered good recommendations. Our two issues were that she suggested 3 items/person and that was way too much food, and the food came almost all at once and not staggered. Drinks were great. Lots of variance on the menu. Menu offerings were very good and sizes were large. Our favorite items were the drunken noodles and the beef and broccoli. The second favorites were the ravioli and spring rolls. The firecracker shrimp was good but not a standout, and I can't remember the 6th item we ordered. Eating here was definitely a good experience. We will return...we just need to remember to order less.

Not even close…read more I may be cheating a little bit because I've been here prior to this review and have some preconceived notions about how good the food was here. But to be completely honest my partner in crime was not enamored by the experience. I may have a little bit of trouble convincing them to come back. On a separate note though, the mixed drinks here are fabulous. And our sever was excellent, even if she did trick me into ordering more drinks.

Dinner at Maru was marvelous :). Not a SINGLE thing we ordered tasted bad. I got the grapefruit…read moresoda, it was slightly tart but still sweet and yummy! For appetizers we got the Maru fries and their Korean Fried Chicken wings -- HIGHLY RECOMMEND! And a bonus is that their fries are gluten free yet still taste amazingly soft and savory. I ordered the Bibimbap with beef and my boyfriend had their beef bulgogi plate. 10/10, no notes :) Our tummies were full & happy at the end of the night. We came around 7:30 and they close at 8:30 during the week, so they delivered our food super fast, hardly had to wait. The restaurant is super cute inside, we got sat at a cozy booth near the door and it was lovely. The only reason I subtracted one star is because our server was kind, just not attentive at all. He took our order and then disappeared. I understand it was close to closing and he was probably ready to go, but he didn't even ask if everything came out okay or if we needed anything. Not a huge deal though -- our overall experience was great and I would 100% go back again and I think everyone visiting Charlottesville should try this spot. They also do have takeout if you wanna grab a yummy bite but don't want to dine ;)

Staying in the area and found this spot on Yelp..another gem of a find!…read more We ordered take out to bring to the hotel, and it was great! I loved that the noodles were separate from the broth until we were ready to eat. We both got the momo chicken, and the broth was deep and flavorful, chicken cooked perfect, but my favorite was the mushrooms. Roasted, almost charred, they were delicious. We also got two cans of sake (the clear one) and it complimented the ramen nicely. The server at pickup was super friendly and made sure we had everything we need. If I'm ever back in the area, I would certainly come here.

As for the food itself, I honestly have mixed opinions about it. I feel like the portion size could have been better, and that the sushi was not up to par at all. I wouldn't recommend the sushi personally. The broth and the noodles was fine, I do think you should try the Mr.Hot if you do come.

In case you have never been they offer steaks that are cooked in a brick fire oven. AMAZING I ordered the VA sirloin which was cooked to perfection (medium rare) with creamed spinach and potatoes. The creamed spinach and the potatoes were very delicious and flavorful. I also ordered the fried oysters which were great. Not overly fried and still maintained the texture and flavor of a typical oyster. The service was impeccable. Our waitress was very entertaining and helpful. She was very attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. She ensured that wanted for nothing. The ambiance was great. I loved the cow theme as well as the signage that stated "no well done steaks". It was a great touch. Overall, I had a great experience. If I am in Charlottesville again I will definitely visit.

The macaroni salad was pretty good, and I liked the cucumber salad. I thought the portion size was good for the price. I would definitely come back again, and would probably go here somewhat often if it was near where I lived!

I decided to get a mixed plate to try a couple of different options. Unfortunately nothing really blew me away. The chicken was good. The beef was good. The sides were tasty. Maybe my expectations for Hawaiian barbecue were simply too high. Either way it was good enough that I would give them another shot. And I respect there restaurant to not give them anything lower than a 5.

We stopped in late evening, on our way to the Amherst area…read more Both my husband and I thought ramen would hit the spot. I'm a vegetarian and the language barrier was definitely a slight issue, since I didn't know how to express my likes and dislikes. It wound up being a bit of an issue for my husband too, since spicy foods aggravate his respiratory system. It was a circus show. Luckily we ordered fried tofu and that was absolutely amazingly delicious! They gave me some wasabi and I was in heaven. (I like heat...) The ramen broth was not very flavorful, but the noodles and veggies were nicely cooked. Servers were kind, even with the huge birthday party in the side room. Parking was a little sketchy. No lighting along the side of the building. Restaurant was clean, as were the loos. I think I'd try them again, if only for the tofu. Did I tell you how amazing the fried tofu was?!?!

Visited Mashumen because I was craving sushi and noticed they had a wide selection. It looked like…read morethere were only 2-3 people working, and despite arriving around dinner time on a weekday, the place was super quiet with just one other table seated. We started with the Chicken Karaage, which was delicious and juicy, just as expected. My partner and I shared the Sashimi Platinum platter with 17 pieces. Unfortunately, the fish wasn't particularly fresh--comparable to what you might find at a Korean supermarket. We also tried the Salmon Two Ways roll, which was tasty, but I wished the rolls were larger and had more fish, as I could barely taste it. My partner ordered the Classic Tonkotsu Ramen with a side of spicy paste. The ramen was decent but nothing special. The spicy paste was disappointing--not spicy at all--only adding color and a bit more flavor to the broth, without the heat we were hoping for. Overall, it's a cute spot for a quiet dinner, but I don't see it getting too busy.
