Chaplin's Restaurant

Favorite spot for ramen in DC! Great service, food, drinks, and ambiance.

Most delicious ramen I have ever tasted! Stumbled across this restaurant around midnight on our first night touring DC and had an amazing experience. Our waiters were very kind and gave us tips on the area. The food was great with such reasonable prices as of $16. Would recommend!

"How beautiful it is to find someone who asks for nothing but your company." Found this quote today after feeling the sentiment. This weekend we stayed in DC for a convention. What can be said about dining out? No, eating at a restaurant is not solely about filling an empty stomach. Rather, going to a restaurant is about spending time with those you care for and making memories. Indeed, Chaplin's Restaurant is a great space to do just that. If you're a fan of Japanese cuisine with a flair, then I recommend a meal at Chaplin's. The flavor profiles are well balanced and they even have allergy conscious noodles- the rice noodles were also cooked to perfection. In terms of dishes, the majority of our group had the Chaplin's A.s.s. [Yes, that's what it's called]. The dish has great spices without overwhelming heat. The ramen dishes are also accompanied by a variety of toppings- the stamina egg is an egg-cellent option! Back tracking onto appetizers, Chaplin has great gyōza. Whether steamed or fried, you can enjoy a quick bite. As for fillings, we've tried the vegetarian and pork. In the first, the dough is stuffed with a seasoned mushroom mix. Who said that vegetarian dishes are blasé ? The opposite is quite true with Chaplin's recipes. We did enjoy the pork filling as well! Now, onto the drinks. My first pick was "A Day's Pleasure." If an old fashioned is your go-to, then I highly recommend this drink. There's a pleasant pineapple and orange notes that give a refreshing taste for such a strong brew. Among the drinks ordered was a The Vagabond. This blend of cucumber and ginger provides an excellent refreshment. Another refreshing drink is the frozen Tokyo Tea - a great companion for Chaplin's A.s.s. The matcha flavor is an ideal way to cool the palate after eating spice. The Tokyo Tea is creamy without an overbearing sweetness. In regards to the video, "The Cure" was quite the finale to this incredible night. The added aromatic of the rosemary smoke was a delight - pure genius! "The Cure" is another refreshing, but elegant choice. Among the drinks is "A Woman of Paris." The blend is similar to "A Day's Pleasure." Instead of rye, the drink has a rich bourbon. Although there were many who enjoyed "The Vagabond" and "Tokyo Tea," I loved "A Day's Pleasure." Ultimately, the experience couldnt be as memorable without the help of Angelina and Noah. Both provided a sense of celebration and fun from the the table to the bar. Thank you Angelina for putting up with our table and Noah for your expertise in mixology! Overall, if you're in the need of a chill dining experience, come Chaplin's Restaurant!

Very interesting place with a interesting menu. Many Japanese styled dishes with a flavor twist. The only drawback was that the amount of people who goes there seems to outnumber the amount they can serve fast so drinks took very long to get from the bar.

Pretty tasty Ramen!!! Had the shoyu ramen & it was very good. I think $17 is a lil steep for ramen but they had 1/2 off on drinks 🥳
