Cozy little place, this is the best ramen I have ever had. Much better than JINYA in Rockville. Can't wait to come back!

Absolutely the best Ramen I’ve had in my life, it’s even better than the Ramen I had at Shinjuku station in Japan.
I believe the family that Rens is from Sapporo, I can’t compare their Ramen to any in Sapporo as I’ve not been able to visit there yet, but I’d imagine this is just as good as any other Ramen you’d get out there.
The only issue is the location, as the parking can definitely be hit-or-miss and the shopping complex is quite congested - but none of that matters when you sit down and enjoy one of their bowls of Ramen
My go-to favorite is the Stamina, I’d highly recommend it

This is real ramen, and it’s the best. Much tastier than JINYA and more affordable.
The staff are very prompt and friendly. As soon as you walk in you are greeted, sat, and bring you ice water.
I’ve been a handful of times and every time I leave delighted.

The ramen was hot and tasty. Gyoza good, too. I was very impressed the ramen soup. It was chanpon ramen, it had a lot of fresh sea food. Very healthy ramen. I had a good dinner there

One of the few authentic ramen shops near me. Near is very relative here. Solid ramen offerings at a reasonable price. There are quite a few add-ons, but only one worth it is the egg. Everything else is a bit over-priced. They have specials like tan tan men, which is ok, nothing that noteworthy. It is a nice change of pace. Good serving size, if im famished ill get some extra noodles. The ramen is sometimes criticized as very salty. I think those people forget that the style is shio ramen, which literally means salt. Food is served fast. Not that much seating though, largest table can barely fit 5. Place is pretty bare bones, which is fine since the food is good. Very important: you won't get seated unless your entire party is there.

I always have a delicious experience here. The ramen is the best I have found on the east coast so far. The noodles are yummy and the broth is flavorful Ren's is a small mom and pop kinda place and they won't seat you till all your party is present. They have some great specials so check out the special menu on the board, special drinks, toppings and ramen. Can't go wrong with this place!

Best ramen in the DMV and it's not even close. In fact if I may be so bold, I've traveled east to west in the US and haven't yet come across a ramen that quite hits the spot as Ren's does. Be aware it's cash only, and seating is very limited at the best of times (even moreso during COVID). Ramen dishes range from ~12-16 bucks. Sides are also really tasty, mini pork buns, gyoza, fried rice and more. Edit 12/6/2022: Ren's now takes credit cards. BTW: recent experiences using Michelin app looking for ramen in a few different US cities since my initial review, found ramen (including NY and LA) that was fine enough, but ultimately "not as good as Ren's". I suggest disregarding 3-star reviews based on the parking and the place. The ramen (esp. Stamina, shoyu, bakudan) is bankable every time.

One of my go-to ramen spots in MoCo. Most of their ramens from this place is pretty good, but my favorite is shoyu ramen. I also tried their stamina, spicy miso, and chanpon ramens and they are delicious. I noticed that sometimes the food is a bit saltier than normal, but usually they are okay. Parking is terrible here tho and the place is in a sketchy neighborhood, so careful where you park here. The last time I visited this place, they only accept cash. It might have been changed recently, but always double check. Service can be hit or miss. Depends on who works there, the service can be attentive or lazy. Overall, it’s worth to try this place!

Absolutely wonderful. We came in at the tail end of their lunch hours. One of us got the Tonshio with an egg, and the other got the vegetarian miso omori with an egg. Service was great and polite, the broths were excellent, the noodles and fixings were perfect, and we left satisfied but not overly stuffed. Highly recommend!
