I love the chicken katsu curry here. Crisply fried, well seasoned but not spicy, so my son can share some, and really big portions especially for the price! The sushi is also fresh and comes quickly. The interior is spacious and never too crowded. We always have room for our stroller at one of the booths and I love the lantern decor. Validates for parking at the nearby garage as well! This is a new family favorite and I'm looking forward to going back often! read more

Went for dinner on a Friday night and waited over an hour for our food. Severely understaffed and the number of groups eating inside wasn't that much. The food was alright but expensive for the amount that you get. We ordered some handrolls which were all about half filled. A disappointing experience, I left still hungry and won't be coming back. read more

Let me start off by saying..... the food is hands down amazing here and I have been about 4 times already. If you are in the need of a nice warm yummy broth - then you will not be disappointed by the halal chicken ramen. This is by the far the tastiest ramen I have ever had. ( also - add spice to your order because it needs that extra "kick"). We usually order one bowl and I do ask them for an extra bowl so that we can half it between two people. It is quite a lot for one person. ( well for me anyway). I can only comment on two types of sushi that I tried and every time I had it - well it was delicious. The salmon and avocado rolls and the red dragon roll. You just can't go wrong on that order. The ambience - they have booth tables and there are signs that say you should not clean your table after you are done as they clean up - which is awesome. Drinks are in the refrigerator on the side so you can help yourself to that when you purchase it. You can order at the counter or from a self service kiosk ( they only have one - which is quite annoying when you have to wait to order). If I had to think of a few minor improvements - they have soy sauce on the tables but I wish they had a low sodium soy sauce to offer as well. I also think that if the place got busy ordering would be an issue as they have one person taking orders and one self service kiosk. But those items are minor and I will always keep coming back for the delicious food! read more

Cute tucked away Japanese spot. Nestled away in near the Dunn lorring metro is this cute spot. There is a paid parking deck right next to it, if you can't find street parking. You can also park in some of the garages that offer 2 hour store parking (not specific for this store), though you do need to push the button to start the 2 hour clock or the will tow your car. (Or at least that's is what the papers on all the meters were stating. It does have some indoor seating and a really cool water dispensing machine. Produces nice, fresh, crisp water. I had salmon sushi and then salmon avocado roll to-go which was delicious. Their bento boxes and other lunch specials look like a pretty good deal. I absolutely love salmon though! read more

Really enjoyed the food and thought pretty reasonable price too-I got the chirashi bowl and spicy salmon taco -getting the seaweed out of the plastic was not intuitive to me, but tasted pretty good. Not sure if lucky also, but service was pretty fast and friendly too, which is always nice too :). Will definitely be going back! read more

A well priced place with a lot of choices of very average Japanese food. They have sushi, ramen, udon, temaki and more. The food taste ok and is inexpensive. So definitely a decent hang out place. Decor is fine but no large tables beyond like party of 6. Mostly self-service but the staff is nice. Sapporo - well priced for 22oz for $11 Japoramen - the pork belly is too chopped and the broth taste ok though not sophisticated with ok ramen Spicy salmon temaki - this is very average and could not really recommend unless you have some serious craving to fill read more

I always try to visit new Ramen restaurants around the DMV. Found out they just opened near me so I decided to have late lunch here. This place used to be Moby Dick if I remember correctly. The store looks clean and has a lot of tables so that is good. You can order at the counter or the Kiosk. I decided to order at the counter since the couple at the Kiosk is taking their time looking at the menu. I saw they have fried Octopus but was told they sold out for the day so I ordered the fried calamari and the Wagyu Ramen. Sat at a table and waited for my food to come out. Since it wasn't busy my food came out pretty quickly. The spicy dip sauce for the calamari is very good. The Ramen is pretty good. The Wagyu is medium rare which is how I like my meats cooked. Overall, the food is good and the service is great. I will be back next time to try their sushi. read more

I don't normally get to eat ramen bowls. When I heard this place had halal options, I wanted to go and try it out, because there are few Japanese places that do and I appreciate the accommodation. So I drove out quite a bit to experiment. I was excited that I could try a ramen bowl here and was not disappointed. I got the spicy halal chicken. First off, the broth was tasty- often I order spicy food at places that serve a diverse customer base, and it's not spicy, but here it actually was, but not overpoweringly so. It was very delicious. The chicken was sweet, it was a nice treat. The egg yolk was soft, it was a nice surprise in the bowl. The vegetables were good. It wasn't too noodle heavy, which could be bad if you're very hungry, but for me it was good because too much noodles makes me sleepy. Also there was a good helping of chicken/protein. There is a diverse menu here, and I am excited to try out more options (although I am also craving the ramen bowl again.) The decor was unique but relaxing, the music was a tasteful selection of anime openings (and possibly other songs). Service was nice. All in all, great experience! read more

Japomen Vienna - halal chicken ramen - Japanese Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

Food is okay but it takes more than 30 mins for my order to be completed. I' m writing this review while waiting. I've been here before for dine in...Take out take ttoo much time. We ordered chicken ramen (noodles and broth and chicken no vegetable and no eggs.) Our ramen order came with vegetable toppings, egg and fish cake, what a disppointment. My son is allergic to seafood product that is why we customized our order. read more

Mediocre quality. Not bad though. They forgot my edamame and I was too far into the meal to want it. Ramen is 3/5 Takoyaki is 3.5/5 Yakisoba is 2.5/5 Rolls were 4/5 I would go if I was craving Japanese and it was close. I'd probably not designate this place to eat if I had options. read more

I have eaten my fair share of ramen around the DMV, but I have never had anything quite like the Japomen ramen. Every element of this ramen was outstanding and what I would expect from a good ramen place: springy alkaline noodles, richly seasoned, tender pork, and a generous amount of menma, bean sprouts, green onion. But the star was the broth -- definitely spicy, but nothing crazy, and some unexpected but very welcome fusion notes of cilantro and jalapeño. I wish I could identify the other unusual elements -- a bold, almost beefy broth -- but I know these things are a closely guarded secred. Whoever is running the kitchen knows what they're doing. Charming decor and friendly service. Outstanding value. Easy to miss this unassuming storefront in the corner of a row of other restaurants, but don't overlook it: they made one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever had. read more

This place is a new favorite! Sushi, bao, katsu, and curry are pretty great. Ramen and udon could use work but they are certainly trying with how much and what they give you. They just need a better broth cook to get it up to par with other nearby places. But the restaurant is so spacious and well decorated. Operations are smooth. Staff is nice. Looking forward to bringing the family more often! (Note: they only have 4 tops so no big groups.) read more

I love ordering from here. I've yet to get into the restaurant but their takeout is great. I usually go with the sushi tacos and toro nigiri which are both delicious!!! If you're looking for amazing sushi, check them out. read more

Had a very delicious experience here. I loved the food and the sauces. The menu is big so it's better to go to the kiosk but the staff is very friendly! Here's what i had: Bao Bun (pork) very good with tasty slaw Cream Cheese Crab- my kids loved this it'd very flavorful Tako-karage- fried octopus...the white sauce with this was amazing though but it still was good on its own. Seafood Ramen- broth (miso) was good but the seafood side left a lot to be desired. In a seafood it had 2 shrimp. It left more to be desired the shrimp were overcooked and i couldn't add extra. Wanted more seafood than that. Halal Lamb Ramen- the lamb was good.. the ginger however was a bit overpowering so next time I'll order without that. Still delicious nonetheless, my husband loved the lamb very well cooked. Let's get into these rolls Salmon Avocado Roll- The avocado was big didn't taste the salmon as much. Probably was my least favorite roll. Still fresh but compared to the other orders came up short. Surf & Turf Roll (8pc)- husband loved this it was wagyu beef and shrimp tempura it was such a flavorful blend. I wouldn't have expected it. Shrimp Lover Roll (8pc) this was fire with extra spicy mayo on the side it was so so good! The Spicey mayo had sweet undertones and this was hands down my second favorite. Salmon Lover Roll - i could eat this all day i love salmon and this was made to perfection it was fresh and light it had some yummy eel sauce. My favorite roll of the day. Japomen Roll pleasant surprise and had salmon as well which is i love. All that to say i would most certainly be returning. The fusion between Japanese sushi and ramen and halal i would have never envisioned but it's truly a match made in heaven! read more

I ordered a sushi roll and the teriyaki chicken. I wasn't impressed by either. They both tasted days old, not fresh at all. The chicken tasted like it had been reheated a few times and the sushi had no flavor in my opinion. Maybe I'll give them one more try and get the Ramen. The reviews seem to be very good for ramen. read more

Fantastic - HALAL Japanese Ramen & Sushi place. Family run lead by Chef Peter, his team Jason & Justin, you will get great tasting fresh delicious food. Highly recommend it. We had the 47 piece sushi panter, chicken ramen noodles, Chicken Teriyaki bento box, edamame & Spring rolls. All deliciously fresh! Highly recommend it. read more

This place is cute, definitely a warm and inviting spot on a chilly night. My mini and I walked in and were greeted immediately... all customers were greeted as soon as they entered the establishment which I truly do appreciate. The restaurant is small but spacious enough to fit at least ten families of two or more. While we dined the restaurant filled up which is nice. The staff are friendly and accommodating. The hot saki was so good!!! The sushi is "okay", fresh, and definitely over priced in my opinion (not a sushi connoisseur but we eat a lot of sushi all over the DMV). The ramen was delicious, great broths. Another attribute I appreciate with this restaurant is presentation of the plates. This review is my opinion so I welcome you to visit and experience the restaurant and cuisine, I think you will be surprised. This will be our "comfy ramen spot" and if we have a taste for sushi, we'll get a roll or two. The restrooms were decent. read more

I went with a small group for dinner and restaurant was easy to find but parking was a little tricky. There are some street parking in front of restaurant but most in parking garages. The first and second levels parking are not connected. The restaurant is on a strip with other businesses such as District Taco, Kiin Imm Thai, Rice Culture. There's a menu stand in front of restaurant, 2 kiosk menu on right side and a very large overhead menu. There are some interior decors all around and interior seatings too. All staff are friendly and patient. The cashier Peter was great who was knowledgeable and attentive. We ordered 6 items: 1) Pork belly bao bun 2) Pork katsu and curry 3) Handroll sampler A 4) Kimchi ramen 5) Kimchi and spam onirigi 6) Beef onirigi. The bao buns had five protein and one vegetarian to choose from but you don't have the option to mix match as I was told. Once you placed your order, it will be hand deliver to your table. So I ordered the pork bao buns. They were delicious and the buns were airy and fresh. The katsu and curry has two protein selections (pork and chicken) which we order one of each. When it arrive to the table, the presentation of the plate was pretty. The curry itself was very flavorful, smooth and aromatic. The pork katsu remain its crispiness and had the right amount of sauce that was drizzle on top, served with rice, garnished with an orchid. The kimchi ramen was topped with pork belly, crispy tofu strips, onions, egg, green onions. Everything incorporated well except the broth which was a little salty. We were excited for the onirigi with ten protein selections but unfortunately it fell flat for us. The rice was perfect, it was fluffy and tasty but the filling wasn't much in it. The portion of the rice 90% and 10% was the selected protein. I also ordered the handroll sampler which I asked what was difference between A and B. Let me tell you, this item is a must get! The sampler comes with 3 perfectly portioned crispy eel, truffle salmon and spicy toro with truffle. The difference with B is the fresh crab meat instead of toro. Those were the best three, one biter I ever tasted! With each in its own category, they all had unique flavors that will make your palate jumping for joy. I will definitely get that sampler again as I am still salvaging from it .. lol. We will definitely make a return visit to try more dishes. read more

Excellent Sushi, so far tried quite a few of the rolls and all have been delicious and very fresh! Can't speak for the other items thus far, but I've been very satisfied with the sushi. The employees here have all been amazing and very courteous even if your just getting carry out! The decor has a nice retro/modern feel which sets it apart from some of the other Japanese places in the area. read more

Very good ramen. We tried the lamb ramen, spicy chicken ramen, and wagyu ramen. They each had different flavor profiles but were still delicious. It was nice that they had halal options (the chicken and the lamb) as well as gluten free dairy free options. The spicy chicken ramen smelled and looked really spicy, but was not that spicy, which I appreciated. Also appreciated the large portion sizes, but note that it appeared small at first because of the bowl size. Inside was clean with ample seating. Staff was very nice and respectful. No complaints, highly recommend. read more

Brand new spot that opened up within walking distance of Dunn Loring metro! We got the: - miso ramen, - cucumber roll, - tuna roll, - spicy tuna roll - japomen udon, - creamy spicy ramen. All were delicious and came out quickly. I only wish the creamy spicy ramen had a main protein instead of just bacon bits, but maybe you can add on. Decorations are super cute, and you can order either thru iPad or at the counter. Customer service was great! Looking forward to returning. read more

Nice casual spot for some Sushi, Japanese rice bowls or Ramen. The sushi was good and the ramen and rice bowls were about average, but still hit the spot. The Katsu curry sauce didn't really taste like Japanese curry rather than chicken bouillon, but the cutlet was well battered and fried. The ambiance is nice as well as the service being kind and great. read more

The ramen was super bland in my opinion I've had much better ramen other places. I felt kind of nauseous after eating it. The fried dumplings were average frozen grocery store dumplings. Overall super underwhelming and not worth a try unfortunately. read more

NO! NO! NO! This was, hands-down, the WORST "Japanese" food I have ever had. The "Spicy Creamy Ramen" was some broth with actual CREAM in it! The noodles were a thick, yellow, goopy mass. The shiitakes were sweet (?). The bamboo shoots smelled like cleaning fluid. The toro nigiri was an inedible, oily, stringy mess. The Ikura nigiri was shriveled, old, and salty. The Las Vegas roll resembled a 1st grade art project. WORST OF ALL: All of the rice used for the sushi was completely unflavored medium grain leftover Chinese white rice. Whatever these folks are trying to do -- they need to stop. read more

Place is cute and conveniently located near the Dunn Loring Metro. You can order at the kiosk or at the counter. I decided to order at the counter and the person taking my order was very friendly and helpful since I had some questions. I ended up ordering the wagyu ramen. It was the perfect portion for me, the beef was perfectly cooked and the veggies and noodles tasted fresh. Will definitely be coming back to try some of their other items! read more

Very great halal options. Ramen and sushi were good and the owners/workers were very kind and friendly. Highly recommend.

Good food. Good service. Love that the chicken is halal so I can try more of the menu!

It was just ok.. noodles were kind of mushy and my ramen didn't even come out hot. Not going back, I'll just go to JINYA ramen in Mosaic.
