Unequivocally the best vegetarian ramen I have ever had. I’m not usually a fan of impossible meat but it was delicious in the ramen. The vibe gives a vintage cafeteria vibe to it and is colorful and very cute! The pineapple sake they brought us was absolutely delicious and we decided to get their donuts at the end which did not disappoint. Perfect wintertime adventure!

Pretty good chicken and the rice with the drippings! The appetizer we had was yummy and not enough! We wanted more! But we'd eat here again.

Authentic to the max, flavorful and bountiful, spastic rundown joint made up into an energy boost visual explosion of taste and GOOD FOOD. Good enough to order 2 entrees, lucky enough to be there first, DC is so lucky to have this joint. So good

Ordered 3 items: Shio Ramen, Shoyu Ramen, And Curry snow fried chicken plate. The chicken broth was not the best I've had, but you could tell it was made over a long time. Portions were worth the price. Lots of noodles. Wished there was more chicken, and wished that the regular order came with more things (like an egg, etc.) Curry snow fried chicken was tasty, I enjoyed the spice from the Curry. But it didn't come to us piping hot. The sauce, a bit creamy, but the onions helped cut through that. Very savory. Service and atmosphere were fun and whimsical, would go back again for a good value meal.

Not everyday you see a fried chicken and ramen combo restaurant. This place was great. Small joint with great food and service. Ramen was on point. My buddy ordered the fried chicken which I tried and it was great as well. Would recommend, especially if you’re looking for a quick bite.

Loved the food, the decor, and the music choice of this place! The ramen and rice are leagues better than what I can usually get at my hometown and will certainly set a high bar for future places to meet!

Quiet family friendly restaurant with good vibes and music. The hostess was so polite and friendly. Took our order quickly and made us feel welcome. We got the shio ramen and mango habanero wings to go. Everything was delicious and hot. The wings had actual mango on them which was delicious. The ramen had marinated pulled chicken that complimented the noodles and veggies perfectly. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting the DC area!

★★★★☆ 4/5
More of a diner/fast food-vibe with plastic bench chairs. They surprisingly serve both fried chicken and ramen, but I would recommend their fried chicken over the ramen as the portion size of the ramen is on the smaller side. Both their Nashville Fried Chicken plate and Curry Snow Fried Chicken plate are delicious!

Very cute ramen place in Chinatown! Quiet and not too crowded on a Sunday afternoon, with very friendly staff! The decor and ambience of the place is also very fun and colorful, and might even be kid-friendly. The menu is labeled Halal and has a very tasty vegetarian option, which makes it an easy pick when eating out as a group!
