I went with a group of 7, and they didn't have any regular seating options that could accommodate our size, so that may be something to consider. I ordered their traditional tonkotsu ramen and red bean Takoyaki with ice cream. The tonkotsu came with quail eggs, rather than a standard egg. Everything was so satisfying and I loved the generous portion of vanilla ice cream that was paired with my dessert. The staff was super kind--I would definitely go back here!

It's hard to find Thai food in that area, but they actually get it right. This is the basil fried rice. It comes with egg, and I added the combination meats, spices, and pineapples. Their green curry is amazing so I ordered a side of that as well. Very fresh ingredients. I'll be back for it again.

I loved the concept of ordering using a tablet. Each restaurant inside of the food hall has a tablet right in front for easy ordering. I ordered the pad Thai with chicken and spring rolls. I came around lunch time and the food was ready in about 10 minutes. Everything came out piping hot which is one of the most important factors for me when ordering food out. The noodle portion was generous, enough for two or three servings depending on how hungry you are. This pad Thai included the noodles, bean sprouts, spring onion, red onion, scrambled egg, and of course chicken (lemon wedge on the side). The flavor was a bit sweet, but it wasn't bad at all. Just a different flavor than what I'm used to for pad Thai. My only complaint about the pad Thai was that the chicken that was used had a gummy texture, similar to the chicken used for bourbon chicken in the malls. I did not eat any more of the chicken and honestly could have done without it. The spring rolls were okay. I was excited to try them because they were not made with shrimp. But they were just too greasy for me, and this took away from the flavors. Seating is open since it's located inside of the food hall. Very clean tables and a great spot to meet up informally for lunch or grab a bite before getting on to the train. I took away two stars for the gummy chicken and greasy spring rolls.

I had heard rave reviews about this place, which is why I finally decided to check it out. The…read morespace is small and cozy, but we went on a Monday and were seated immediately. Since there were only two of us, we shared an eight-person table with three other couples, which gave it a very authentic Japanese ramen shop vibe. Our server was attentive from the start. As soon as he finished taking our order, he asked if anyone needed a fork. I really appreciated that, since I don't know how to use chopsticks and didn't have to awkwardly ask for one myself. We started with the gyoza, which were so crispy and flavorful that we ended up ordering a second plate. For ramen, we tried the tsukemen, which comes with cold noodles that you dip into a rich, soy-forward broth. It was an interesting experience, but after a while the repetitive dipping became a bit tedious for me. We also ordered the spicy miso ramen, which was my favorite of the two. It had a nice kick without being overwhelmingly spicy. It also came with bean sprouts, which aren't usually my favorite, but they added a pleasant crunch and texture to the bowl. Overall, this was a really solid meal. It wasn't quite the mind-blowing experience I had built up in my head, but it's still one of the better ramen spots I've had in DC. I'll definitely be back to check out the izakaya upstairs.

TLDR: would recommend, decent ramen. Appetizers are great and the drinks are well made. Definitely…read morenot good for a large party size due to restaurant size. Servers are very attentive and come by very often. Must Try: Shrimp Naruto Atmosphere/Setting: very small place with dim lighting. This isn't the place to have your birthday celebration with a Partiful of 20 people. It's moreso catching up with a friend or having a good meal after a long day alone. Food: it's a ramen spot but honestly I've had better ramen but this one is pretty good. I think the appetizers are moreso the star of the show ! Appetizers : Shrimp Naruto (10/10) , Brussels Okonomiyaki (8/10) , Yuzu Rootbeer Wings (6/10) Shrimp Naruto is phenomenal , literally my favorite. I wanted to like to e wings but they were too soft for my liking. If they were fried harder or had a bit more of a crunch I'd rank them higher because the flavor is there. Drinks: both drinks were great !

As soon as we reached the top of the stairs, to the right is an amazing bar. Darker warm lighting in the whole restaurant. There are a few tables to the left of the bar, that's where we were seated, and more to the right and there's bar seatings as well We shared all the items ordered and enjoyed it all. Gyozas had wasabi on it so be careful but it was amazing with layers of flavors. The rice pot was more than enough for 4ppl to share with tons of meats and seafood inside. Like a paella but Japanese. Meatballs were underestimated but it delivered. Tasted amazing we had to order another one. Most items are one order, one item so ask before ordering. Service was perfect.

The graphic design of the menu is also really cool. This restaurant is a vibe. The music is soooo good here. Upstairs/inside had punk rock and downstairs/outside had R&B.

If you want to sit in their outside covered patio, you'll continue past the bathrooms and down some more stairs. They have gender neutral single stall restrooms here. We came here after the US v. Australia World Cup game and had a blast. I loved my mojito. My husband and our friend really liked their masterson and four corners drink. We family styled a few dishes. I loved what we ordered.

I got the batters favorite and it tasted like noodles in water. It was bland from start to finish. Even adding the Chili oil did not help. The meet was unseasoned, the broth was unseasoned, the drinks were not good. I don't know if it was just an off night or the place has gone down hill. It use to be vibrant and a place you could hang with friends and chill. Now, it was empty and lifeless and this is on a Friday night. Our friends got a mixture of things and one of my friends got the coconut curry ramen with extra chicken and didn't even bother eating the chicken and said the Ramen itself was not worth it. I'm not a fan of trashing restaurants, I truly like to find the beauty somewhere but this place gave my wife food poisoning. Immediately a couple hours later after eating from there, we left around 10pm, she started to violently vomit at midnight and it lasted for a long period. How do we know it was this place.... Her vomit was straight Ramen. So, I say this to say.. eat here at your own risk. Batters Favorite: 0/10.. Just taste like water with Noodles Mango Tango: 0/10... Tasted like mango with no tango.

Street parking was a challenge as others seemed to have the same idea but once I parked across the street everything from there was up. It's pretty spacious with a nice size patio area; it was empty, so I opted to sit at the bar - they have happy hour specials all day every day. I settled for a tequila lemon drop, edamame and the Strike Out ramen with fried chicken. The chicken was seasoned but I felt like I had mostly fat which added a chewy texture so I didnt eat all of it. The ramen itself was good, had a nice spice to it and the lemon drop was strong. The edamame was soft, like they used thawed frozen peas and barely any salt. Overall - this visit satisfied the craving of wanting ramen. I would give it another try especially since it's close by and the all day happy hour is a plus
