As a commuter through the state of Virginia, I easily could have stopped at one of innumerable NOVA restaurants, or in Charlottesville, but I determined that this place in relatively rural Culpepper was worth a shot. The owners have a separate Thai restaurant downtown; this noodle-focused pan-Asian place is newer. I tried to manage expectations, but was impressed in every respect. The brick corner building has received an interesting buildout and Bose speakers trumpet mood music. The menu is broad and includes some vegan options. I ordered some dumplings, which I wouldn't have done if I'd known how huge the entree would be, but the dumplings were excellently presented with vegetable garnish and I ate them quickly. They offer a series of tropical fruit drinks, and I got one with longan, which is a little like lychee; the beverage came in its own bottle and had several whole longan fruits in it and was sweet and strongly flavored. Despite the strong start, I still expected less from my ramen that what I ultimately got. Even a good premium ramen bowl rarely has the beautiful array of vegetable toppings I got here, including pickled ginger, kimchi, mushrooms, corn, and bok choy. Ample tofu was provided for protein and the noodles were of a green kale-infused variety. I was offered dried pepper for seasoning and a spice tray if I needed it, but the thought barely occurred to me. It was an enormous bowl and I ended up taking some of it to go. I was easily going to give them the five stars even before they offered me a complimentary dessert that was a little bit like a sticky mochi. The one thing I'd ask is that they label the menu a bit more clearly as I got the sense that a lot of the general Thai dishes could be vegan but it wasn't as clear as I would have liked it to be. But the quality and variety of flavors was as good as I could possibly ask for. read more

always a wonderful experience here. The food, the presentation, the people, and the atmosphere are second to none! one of my favorite places and I make sure to come here whenever I'm in town. read more

Food was delicious, the vibes were chill and the service was really good! We got one of the kids plates (teriyaki), takoyaki, tonkotsu ramen, and beef pho. All the dishes were pretty good! I was a big fan of the takoyaki, even the kiddos were happy to eat it! I thought the tonkotsu broth was really good, although the meat was a little dry. Service was very efficient, our orders were taken with good timing (neither too short or long of a wait), our bowls and dishes were picked up no more than 1 minute after they were cleaned off. I will say that while the Yelp page says dogs are welcome, only service dogs are. Any pups that aren't service animals aren't permitted indoors and there isn't any outdoor seating. read more

Dtom Dtun - Tonkotsu ramen - Noodles Near Me - Culpeper, Virginia

The food is incredible and we love their attention to detail with experience (whether that be season decor, specials and gifts, the dishes used or quality of paper products). Service is wonderful. On the other hand, we wish the price point was a little lower, with most entrees running $25 and very few under $20 options. Grateful they have a kids menu! read more

The food was wonderful and creative. The interior of the restaurant is fun and eclectic. Definitely will visit again. And the service was perfect. Attentive but not overbearing read more

We came to Dtom Dtun for my Birthday and everything was perfect! There was 7 of us and we all ordered different dishes. My 3 year old granddaughter had lo mein and ate more than I've ever seen! Each dish was beautifully prepared and presented. We also received a delicious coconut pudding at the end of our meal. The waitress was so nice and attentive. She gave me a lovely tote bag for my birthday and all the girls were given a cute little coin purse. SO THOUGHTFUL! The restaurant is beautiful inside. Very relaxing and inviting. This was my second visit. (I had lunch last time, which was also delicious) Highly recommend. read more

Absolutely fantastic dinner. Had a little date night with my wife tonight, and it was wonderful. The prices are steep, but it's definitely worth it in my opinion. read more

Super friendly people, huge menu, Asian Fusion & noodles, amazing drinks in a renovated historic building!

Everything is priced at $25, which is a bit steep for noodles from a box, and generally the cheaper cuts of meat. Service is about as mediocre as the food. I wouldn't go back. There are better spots downtown. read more

Went for a girls night. Everyone at the table had something different & we all loved our dishes! Staff were friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back. read more

My family took me there for Mother's Day this year. The ambiance is beautiful and the service was amazing! Our food was delicious and the portions were large. The plating was beautiful! I was given a gorgeous reusable embroidered bag. It's a trifle pricey but most places are nowadays! Thumbs up! read more

Not sure why a restaurant would have such a heavy air freshener smell? They had lots of scented candle lite. That bothers my sinuses and sense of smell. makes me wonder if they are trying to cover a smell? Food was ok. read more

We love this great restaurant! Authentic, flavorful, high quality ingredients, friendly service and relaxing atmosphere. Lots of great vegetarian options! I especially love the vegetarian ramen. Extremely clean, which is super important to me. We will continue to support this new local gem! read more

Disappointing value for the price. We paid $25-30 for a bowl that felt very basic: the broth was generic, the noodles were just okay, which is usually expected in a premium bowl of ramen. For that price point, I expected much higher quality or more generous portions. I hope they reconsider the pricing or improve the ingredients to match the cost. read more

WOW! Service: excellent. Food:spectacular! Atmosphere:top notch! People,food and decor were vibrant and friendly. Details matter to this restaurant! Everything from the napkins to the chopstick sleeves had beautiful decorative logos. We had complementary mango shaved ice after dinner. They have it all. Go here if you want to leave full and satisfied! read more

Mehhh Not worth the price I would rather drive in Northern VA for authentic cuisine for better taste and affordable price read more

Thought the food was good and the staff was really nice definitely would go back ...........

Im giving this 2 stars but asking you to read the whole review. I HATED this first experience. The food was not worth the price. It wasnt worth the time we waited. It wasnt worth the confusion of ordering or the confusion of the staff when we called several times over the course of OVER an hour to see if our food was ready only to have then say repeatedly they don't find an order... but they did because 1.) They called me when I placed the order to tell me even though their website said delivery and gave the option, they in fact did jot deliver and 2.) When we went in to pick up the order they said they were waiting on 3 things from the order so clearly they saw the order. But each time we tried to ask if it was ready over the phone they couldn't find it. I think this had to repeat my name and number like 5 times each. BUT... and here's their saving grace as far as THAT goes... This was their opening day. Going forward keep that in mind. I will review later because I definitely will give them a second chance. We ordered the BBQ pork and shrimp lo mein. It was.... eh.. the SIZE for the price was just... disappointing. The quality for the price was even more disappointing. The noodles were over cooked basically falling apart when you tried to plate it up. The flavor was mediocre... nothing special but not horrible. Literally every other asian place in town that sells lo mein is better in terms of flavor (with the exception of China Inn but I think they're closed now.) We ordered the Vietnamese Lemongrass chicken dish. This dish... made me want to gice them negative stars but not for flavor. This is a dish I get from a different place all the time. It's a favorite of mine. I pay $18 and some change where i bornally get it, in a big city. So honestly the prices should be comparable. At $25 its not... My review of this dish, sadly is the direct comparison in the places. Dtom Dtun gave these skinny rice noodles but it looked like they played them out in planks and allowed them to dry like that then they folded them and stored them then when ahnorder is made, they pulled them out and placed them layered in the dish trying to be artistic. 1.) That made it look horrible. Like they were trying too hard, or like they were just looking for a way to store the noodles to make things go faster. It was a huge fail for the dish, regardless of the reason and 2.) There wasn't enough noodles for even a single person to get satisfied with This HAD to be a kids portion. But we definitely didn't order the kids portion. There were like 3 of those little planks of rice noodles that were so stuck together you had to eat them as a sheet. The sauce that is served with it gets brownie points because it was great. Exactly what I expected. The veggies could have been better but whatever. The chicken was ok. Not as flavorful as the place I normally get it from, but definitely not bad. This dish would have been great with more rice noodles and maybe sone shredded lettuce added in. The cucumbers being shredded or spiraled instead of in spears would have been a much better fit too imo but honestly that's small details and personal preference. We ordered the Khao Soi Gai. This was by far the worst dish. The meat was so dry and tough it was on the verge of being saw dust texture. The sauce had flavor but it was so... weird. Like it was missing balance. Maybe more salt would have helped, but I'm just not sure. The noodles were in a bowl and looked like they had been sitting there for the entire hour plus that it took them to cook our order. We had to dry them apart with our fingers for any hope of separating when between the people who shared the dish. This also wasn't worth the money fir the portion size OR quality. So 1 star was because the food was at least edible. The ither star was the benefit of the doubt. This was owning day, so there is always going to be a huge wait and a ton of glitches. We will call this a trial run on this place, with hopes for improvement. I honestly expected better quality and am hoping it's just opening day blunders that were the problems. Time will tell. I'll try again in about a month. read more

Tbe food was excellent and the service as well! they have a selection for all tastes - a variety of items and a range of prices

Went twice for lunch over the last month or so. Got the Pho Bo the first time and a delicious Chinese Noodle Dish the 2nd time. Excellent value for the money, and the interior of the restaurant is very welcoming, clean and bright. I LOVE having this restaurant in Culpeper and I'll certainly bring more guests to try their food in the next month or so. Excellent lunch menu as well and it always filled me up (and I have a healthy appetite). Seasoning is on point, spice levels are great and the staff are friendly and attentive. Highly reccomend. read more

This is a newly opened restaurant in Culpeper. Of course I was curious and with all the hype and promotion, I was excited to try their food. First, I like the ambience and decor of the restaurant. What I was not impressed with was the quality of the food for the DC price you pay. The soup broth was not hot at all. It was like they just warmed but I expected it to be hot. So that was a disappointment! The kids selection was okay but having picky kids I would have preferred they had other options like fries as well. The portions were pretty good but for those who aren't familiar with the food, you wouldn't know what is just visual versus what you are supposed to eat!! Or are you supposed to eat everything on the plate? Also, the waiters were so eager to bring everything and didn't wait for us to finish or almost finish our appetizers and we ordered a bunch of them. They brought our main dishes within minutes of the appetizers and it almost made me feel like we were hurried. No one checked how things were after we started on our appetizers and we had to ask for someone to fill our waters. So for the price you pay, it's a HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT and I don't recommend it. I would rather go to NOVA area and pay the same price for better service and quality. read more

the food here is amazing and that's a understatement! the staff is so friendly and are always making sure you are all good! this is one of the best Asian restaurants out there read more

This place is bright and beautifully inviting! The front area hostess Pik greets everyone with a welcoming friendly smile! We've come here several times since their opening and have always had an extremely pleasant experience! Our servers have usually been Plume and Guitar, both have been very knowledgeable about then menu and great with recommendations! We've seen a couple reviews about the cost of the meals but the way we see it, it's supporting a new small business and the price of inflation isn't cheap! If you're going to splurge on going out to eat then you shouldn't complain about paying for it! Otherwise stay home and eat your instant noodles. The portions are more than generous and for the people that stated the prices cost as much as in the city, if you factor in the distance to drive elsewhere and the quality and quantity of food you're getting, as well as time spent getting there then the closer proximity is a no brainer! read more
