    Ramen Noodle - Tonkotsu, Pork, Extra Green Onion, & Extra Spicy  Pork Chashu Bowl
    Bethany W.

    The portion sizes were big enough and the food was not bad! The tonkotsu ramen wasn't anything special, but it did the job. The chashu rice bowl though....I'd get that again. The chashu was tender and fatty, and the rice was cooked perfectly. Everything included in the rice bowl just made up the perfect meal. We had to wait a while for our food (seemed like only 1 or 2 people were working). And the inside has cute decor, but it looks a little empty and cold because of how big the space is. Overall, the food here is pretty solid if you're looking for a chill Japanese spot.

    Fried pork dumplings

    Saw some reviews about @ginzaspot.henrico and decided to give them a try! The atmosphere was a laid back vibe, with cute decor and very inviting! Customer service was top tier: very pleasant and bought our to go order to the table we sat at while waiting. Food: wings were a good size and tasty, we ordered half and half (the spicy soy garlic is spicy), should have asked to fry them crisp but still good 3.9/5. Fried pork dumplings were a bit tough but ok, the sauce bought the flavor 3.2/5. The chicken lomein was probably our least favorite, plenty of chicken and veggies but the noodles for me were too soft and flavor was just ok. I did add the sauce from the dumplings to add more flavor, a great portion size, 2.5/5. Mimi ordered the Grape Tea and it was good (didn't give the traditional artificial grape flavor) very refreshing 4.5/5. Overall rating is 3.5/5 (Yelp let us add half stars, lol). If in the area give them a try and tell us what you think!

    The atmosphere inside is a little dull and awkward. But the self checkout/service is quite quick so it's a bonus to getting good, warm food on a time crunch ! The food was actually really good and tasty! The boba was also amazing !! I love a good spot for boba and nice staff !

    Single table in the middle of the restaurant

    Greeted in the parking lot with a "Recently Opened" banner on their windows, I was immediately feeling optimistic! With reviews poking above 4.0/5.0, the expectations were feeling high. Walking in, it's a pretty open space, it looks like they have not decided the exact layout they want. Booths line the walls with one longer table (seating 8) smack in the middle. I can't imagine anyone would sit there on purpose since you're right in the middle of the restaurant. Service options are self-serving Kiosk and ordering at a counter. There was one woman working the counter who greeted everyone with a smile and a ma'am/sir. For food, I ordered the ramen with a Tonkotsu base, Pork protein, and an Extra Egg. Totaling $15.95 before 10% tax (total: $17.54) Ramen Components: =============== Broth - Super creamy and rich in flavor Noodles - Thin and al dente, not a lot of room to absorb the broth but no real complaints here Pork - (3 round cuts) pretty chewy and taste like they have been grilled rather than slow-cooked, no real soy flavor but more of just your standard meaty flavor Egg - (3 halves) Very soft, nice creamy yolk with a sweet soy flavor. Would LOVE if the pork had a similar texture and flavor Overall, a great experience with very friendly staff and a nice homemade-tasting bowl of ramen. Perfect for a cold December day. I would love to see them invest in some actual bowls and chopsticks/soup spoons instead of going with fully-plastic options as well as do something with the middle of their restaurant outside of just the 1 long table.

    Went here on a dreary Monday and ate in. It was pretty empty aside from one other person and they left right as my food arrived. They a build-your-own set up for the poke bowls, as well as the ramen and a decent list of appetizers. I got the spicy soy wings, Tonkatsu base ramen w/ pork chashu and a signature brown sugar boba with the milk cap. The wings blew me away, the absolute start of the show. So crispy and the flavor was on point. I'd get them again and again. I also loved my drink. The boba was sooo soft and bouncy. It was very very sweet though, so beware if that's not your thing. The ramen was just okay to me. The broth was thick and rich, but wasn't my favorite Tonkatsu I've tried.The pork tasted good, but was thinner than I imagined, as were the noodles. They serve you in plastic bowls with plastic utensils, which I've never encountered at a ramen spot, unless I ordered to go. The egg was AMAZING. I'd order an extra one next time. The thing I didn't like about this restaurant is that it stinks. I noticed it a little bit when I walked in and ignored it thinking it may have just been all the food smells mixing. But when I ventured further back to the restroom, I was met with even more stench. I don't know if it's coming out of the drains or the vents, but it smells like there's a serious plumbing issue! The bathroom was clean, but I quite literally was holding my breath as I washed my hands because it smelled so rank.

    Simple delicious Japanese cuisine. Plenty of tables for in person dining and on this occasion I took mine "To Go." If you're in Short Pump and you like freshly prepared Japanese food check them out!

    This is such a cute spot tucked away in Short Pump! The team is friendly and informative and the food is solid. I wasn't sure what to get, but I knew I wanted ramen so I asked the person behind the desk what her favorite was. I got the tonkotsu (pork broth) based on her recommendation with tofu as the protein. Their to go container is amazing and it prevents all the ingredients from getting mushy during the ride home. There were also detailed reheating instructions. Will definitely be back!

    Cute restaurant for ramen, poke and boba teas. I was craving for ramen while I shopped at Short Pump Center. Pulled out Yelp app and saw Ginza Spot. Looks like a new place and pretty good reviews. My friend and I ordered ramen. He had tonkatsu base with beef and onion. I had a miso base with chicken. They both tasted good. The soft-boiled egg was yummy. Vegetables are fresh. Soup was hearty. No wonder everyone praised about it. We also ordered a 2-item poké bowl with everything on it and wasabi sauce. It wasn't pungent like wasabi at sushi restaurants. It was delightful and perfect for salmon poké. Fish was fresh. Everything was nice. Then, the orange interior drew our attention. So cute. I didn't have a lot of time to make social media posts because I have a flight to catch. If I'm in the area, I certainly will stop by again.

    2 Proteins Poke Bowl

    As someone from Hawaii, I am always craving a good poke bowl and this place left a great impression on me! I got the 2 Proteins Poke Bowl with sushi rice, salmon, spicy tuna, cucumbers, green onion, sriracha mayo, and nori sesame. For $15 in total, they put a lot of fish and it's well worth it! The salmon was fresh with big chunks, and the spicy tuna was what you would typically see in a spicy tuna roll (smashed/tinier pieces as compared to big chunks). They have more ingredients that you can choose from as well. I got my bowl to go and the service was really quick! Within a few minutes, they came up to me to give me my food and it also came with a cute tote bag! The building is spacious with a lot of options for seating. I would definitely come back again! (:

    I got a Ramen with a tonkatsu base and pork. It's was very savoriness. The pork was good. Egg was great. It was made to order and was done quite quickly. The atmosphere was very nice, there were some cool wall art and decoration. This costed ~$14 which seems on par to other places. Overall an easy place to get quick takeout ramen, poke, or boba. I would come back again! 7.4/10

    Seems to be a mom and pop Asian fusion fast casual spot. They have poke, ramen, rice bowls, Korean fried chicken, boba tea, and other apps and desserts so there should be something for everyone. You can order at the counter or the tablets. The tablet was easier since it is 'build your own' type of ordering and there are so many options to choose from. Online ordering is also available. They have a ton of seating, making this is a good spot for large parties. They are generous with the fish in the poke bowls and they don't add too much rice. The soy garlic Korean fried chicken had good flavor and I appreciated the extra sauce at the bottom of the container. It also came with a few fried rice cakes, which was a nice surprise. The chashu pork buns were slightly too saucy for me as it masked the pork. All the boba teas we got were great.

    6 Piece Takoyaki Ball
    Anthony N.

    5/5! Looked forward to trying this place with my friends, as it was new and we saw they had some good food options along with some boba! The Food: Since I was heard great thins about the ramen, I had to order it! I went with the "Pork Tonkotsu Ramen" and customized it to my liking. Also ordered some "Takoyaki" as a side as well. The ramen was actually very delicious! The broth was thick and full of flavor, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and the additional toppings paired very well together. The pork could've been a little more tender, but hey, it's not a dedicated ramen spot. So completely fine with what I got. The Takoyaki was actually good as well! Not the best, but well worth it to try in my opinion. I also got a "Thai Milk Tea" as well, and it tasted very good. The Service: Service was great! I ordered off the kiosk they provided, but my friends ordered in person too. The staff were friendly and attentive. The also made our orders in a timely manner and brought out our food to our table. The Atmosphere: Very nice place. Very spacious and clean. Plenty of seating to go around. Overall, a 5/5! Would definitely recommend Ginza! The ramen was delicious and the drinks were good as well!

    I love poke places and this was a good experience. It is new and a little hidden in the Publix shopping center on Pump Rd. You can order at a kiosk. We opted for a poke bowl, ramen and smoothie. My poke bowl was tasty. The cucumbers are bigger chunks than some other places and I liked them. I ordered it with the house poke sauce. It needed a little pop, so I went back for a side of honey wasabi. I was worried it might be too sweet with honey, but I couldn't taste that at all and I really liked the creamy wasabi sauce. Just the right amount of spicy. My daughter loved her ramen bowl with miso base, chicken, boiled egg, sprouts, green onions, corn and tofu. She always liked the smoothie a lot! She got the honeydew with popping strawberry boba. The inside of the restaurant is cute and way more spacious than expected. Usually I order poke to go, but we sat in here. We'll definitely be back.

The interesting thing about placing the order is that you also pay when the order is placed, then they bring the food out when it's made. They were helpful in explaining to me how to modify a dish and they also gave great recommendations, as well as kept up with my liking of the food and experience while I was there. I ordered their red oil wontons and their cumin lamb noodles, but I subbed the lamb for beef. This came out before the wontons and it looked and smelled great! The beef was very tender, so were the amazing noodles! The spices were so tasty and offered a decent kick, but not too hot. I love stir-fried onions in dishes like this and these were so good that I tried to enjoy one piece with each bite of noodle and beef. The red oil wontons were incredible! The flavor of the oil was perfect! Exactly what it should be and it offered a very nice kick of heat too! This was one of the best wontons I've had in a long time! I'd definitely like to go back and try their soup dumplings. Overall this was a great experience into non-American Chinese food, one that everyone who enjoys American Chinese food should try!

When you walk in, the staff acknowledges you right away, which I always appreciate. The drinks and food come out pretty fast, and the environment is clean, fun, and relaxed. The bathrooms were also clean and smelled nice, which is something I always pay attention to. One of the faucets was slightly broken and the water pressure was very low, but that was the only issue I noticed. The drinks were good, and the seafood boil was amazing. The crabs were big, meaty, juicy, and the flavor was excellent. They play music that fits the culture and the vibe of the restaurant, which makes the atmosphere fun. The only thing I would suggest is possibly keeping the music censored earlier in the day since families and kids may be present. Some people may not mind, but it stood out to me. Overall, the exit experience was warm and pleasant. It felt like they genuinely wanted you to come back, which always leaves a good impression.

On my initial visit, everything was hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. I left raving about it. This time, customer service was noticeably slow. We waited so long for gloves and a bib that by the time we were finally able to start eating, our boil had already cooled to a lukewarm temperature. It definitely took away from the experience. But I do need to note the young lady serving us was extremely pleasant but not the most attentive. The steamed oysters were also far too briny, and the sauce was so runny and watered down that it completely overpowered the dish. The sauce was a bright orange blob, nothing like the first time. It tasted like the butter was forgotten entirely. Unfortunately, that same sauce was used in my boil, which ruined it as well. During my first visit, the garlic butter was rich and full of flavor, so the inconsistency was surprising. The only thing that held up this time was the old-fashioned which remains a 10/10! For just over $200 with tip for two disappointing boils, three drinks, and a dozen oysters I'm not sure I'll return to give it another try anytime soon. However, I'd still encourage readers to give them a try as my second visit may have been on a bad night. The music is ALWAYS on point for me. **I rated it a four this time because my first visit was a solid five stars while my second visit barely averaged three.

This place is consistent and clean, the staff is friendly, and the food is dangerously good. As many have said, you have to know what you're doing in order to make the most of this experience, and it IS an experience. You'll choose a soup base (all of them are good) which the waiters will bring and heat on your table. Then you'll hit the buffet and grab anything you want to add to your soup (they have all sorts of noodles, veggies, seafood and more). You'll also grab any meats you want to cook on your table's little grill. What I especially love is that the KBBQ and hot pot are all one flat rate, you don't have to order anything but your soup base and any drinks. I recommend getting a big plate for all of your soup add ons, and a small plate for your raw meats. They'll give you tongs to cook the meat and a giant pair of scissors to cut everything (wait to cut the meat until it's cooked). Apologies for the novel above, but maybe it will help someone. Yes it can be overwhelming if you're not used to the cuisine, but it is WORTH trying that something new. Qpot also has a full Chinese buffet, great for kids who are scared of the grill and the soup. We are truly in love with this restaurant. Thanks for always showing us a good time!
