The restaurant is located on a mall that does not have much traffic, so it's good that I could park easy. Ordered their ramen combo with tempura and they both tasted so good. For 90% of times, I don't like salty ramens, but Kozy Ramen was great. Waitress did not miss anything on my order and filled up my water when it's half empty. It is very quiet for conversations. Will recommend this restaurant to my friends and family. read more

Got the Miso Ramen and added a few healthy shakes of shichimi togarashi (on the table) to DIY spice it up a bit. Miso broth was decent, but not as hot as I typically like it. 8/10 broth flavor. Noodles are the right "thicker & curly" style, but were overcooked by a noticeable amount. They should be slightly chewy, IMO. I regret not specifying more "QQ" or chewy al dente when I ordered my Ramen bowl. In Japan it is fairly common to be able to choose from several levels of noodle firmness/doneness. The environment is like a food hall restaurant - with shared bathrooms in the main concourse of the building. The bathrooms were messy and wet everywhere - not pleasant. Overall the building seemed more than a bit crusty - not the most appetizing backdrop. I was torn between 3 or 4 stars for this one. I am rounding up. This is pretty much exactly a 3.5 star experience. read more

It's been a while since I've dropped by this building but after a late night search for ramen, I found this spot is open. Of course it's late, of course there's 30 mins left on the clock but who cares, let's make the chef hustle some ramen for us! Before there was Kozy, there was Tanpopo in the same spot, I don't know why they closed but I remember them fondly for being the only ramen spot in Annandale area. Although they're gone now, Kozy arrived to take over but there is a lot of competition in the area these days, all serving ramen. My shoyu ramen love will never be unattended these days and Kozy is hitting all the right criteria for me. First off, this spot lives up to its quirky name created to own the .com website name. It is cozy, I mean kozy. Small, in the wall, not too many seating, quiet, chill , covered with Japanese design points, etc. If there's a place I want to hide from responsibilities, this is the place. You walk in, you're greeted by the super kind owners, take a seat and relax. Just don't mind the karaoke club restaurant next door. We ordered spicy ramen, miso, bulgogi buns, and takoyaki. They was quick about getting these items out to us. I complain about food not having flavor, oomf, kapow, zip. These had adequate amount of these elements. Good takoyaki, delicious ramen, unafraid to season that broth and just serve delicious food. Bulgogi buns were good too but I was thinking like a full on bao style bulgogi bun. Buns are a little messy having to hold them but not a deal breaker divorce situation. The waitress was fantastic, she wasn't put off that we came in late but got us everything we needed. Very kind. This is my go to spot for ramen when I don't want to be all posh at Jinya and I have a few dollars more than a dehydrated ramen bowl. I've been back here a couple of times now and I can't recommend it enough. Actually wait, may I should not recommend it so it remains a hole in the wall spot for me to eat ramen to myself. Maybe sushi at the mini bar next time. read more

Rating: 3.5 This restaurant is located inside of a bigger warehouse type of building and truly does feel cozy once you're inside. In the colder months, all I crave is Ramen, and I am always looking to try new places. I have seen this place in passing while going to another restaurant in the same building and finally decided to stop by. We got the combo with the bao bun. I got the chicken karaage bao bun which was very good, it even came with a little salad which had a super tasty dressing. However, only the ramen itself didn't hit the spot for me. I got the spicy miso ramen as I always do, this broth just wasn't doing it for me. It didn't have enough salt, I actually needed to add some myself. The bite of the noodles were great though! The service here was phenomenal and very homey which i really liked. read more

Kozy Ramen & Bar - Spicy tonkatsu ramen! - Ramen Near Me - Annandale, Virginia

Amazing ramen. I can't wait to go back! I decided to try this place out for lunch and I'm glad I did. It's tucked in an industrial area and it appears other restaurants in the building are being built. It's fairly small but has a good amount of seating and is decorated how you'd exact a ramen spot to be. The service was good and quick. I arrived right after they opened. I ordered the combination ramen and bao bun. I got the Tonkatsu Ramen and Beef Bulgogi bao. The small salad and pickled radish were a nice surprise. I guess you get that when you order in? Either way it was all delicious. The pork chasu In the ramen was a thick cut, fatty but succulent. I wish there was more than one piece or pork though. However for the price overall I think it's a good value. I also ordered this ramen again via DoorDash. It wasn't quite as good in house and the piece of pork wasn't as good as when I dined in. Again wish there was a second piece but if you're looking for an affordable and delicious ramen spot try Kozy Ramen!! read more

Looking for a ramen spot, we landed here at Kozy Ramen. It's a hidden store in a bigger warehouse/restaurant group location? I think the restaurant wants to capture the small ramen shop from Japan and I think it works. I haven't been to Japan (definitely on the bucket list), but I could definitely see the direction Kozy was going. If you haven't been here, it's probably because there are a lot of ramen shops, but I think it's probably because this place is a bit hidden. Inside, there is seating, a whole bench on the side of the wall, and also spots at the ramen bar. I ordered the Spicy tonkatsu. I thought the broth was great, it was flavorful, and it wasn't spicy to the point where the flavor is lost. Service wise, everything was great and there were absolutely no complaints. Overall, I can see myself coming back here to eat ramen. There are tons of other places to explore, but Kozy will stay on my list of ramens. read more

Definitely a must try restaurant for ramen! I came here on a weekday so it was quieter than what I hear is their busier weeks. Food was wonderful from the presentation to the flavors in each dish. Staff were very friendly and helpful in helping me decide what to order and the level of spiciness. I will have to return to try some of their other selections as I came for a quick lunch in the middle of running errands. The restaurant shares the space with other restaurants in the same building so I can see parking being a minor inconvenience for some customers. read more

2nd time and all I have to say is - Kozy, Kozy, Kozy. It was a super cold night and all I wanted was somewhere cozy inside with something that would make my insides cozy - Kozy was the first place that came to mind. The pork and the egg in the ramen is soooooooooo good. (Will def order extra of both next time, even though that'll be more food than I need.) The noodles are perfect and have to be homemade. Broth do good. read more

OMG! Amazingly delicious. I ate here for lunch today and had the most scrumptious meal. The shrimp tempura bao bun was so good and the miso ramen was absolute perfection. The flavor of the pork was so rich and the egg as well. I tried their homemade green grape sparkling ade and it was so yummy. My friend had several bao buns and the shrimp shumai, which she really enjoyed. It's a cute and clean restaurant tucked inside a building with some construction happening at the moment. Highly recommend! read more

I'm rounding this up from a 3.5. I was excited to try a new ramen place in annandale! The staff are extremely friendly and attentive. The ambiance is trendy and feels lively when you go inside. There's not a ton of seating, but I think it's also reasonable for a ramen restaurant. I ordered tonkotsu ramen, chashu bao, and takoyaki. The ramen was very flavorful. It took me a minute to find the second slice of chashu but it's there! The chashu bao was probably my favorite since it was flavorful. The takoyaki was sadly overcooked and rubbery, but the flavor was good. I'd be back since I'm in the area often but will try other menu items! read more

This place is hidden inside a building with a few other stores. I arrived here close to closing time but they were happy to serve me. The place feels like a cosy ramen store, which suits the place because the food is cozy too. I really enjoyed the ramen and the pork buns. The ramen was milky and brothy, much better than some cheaper places. There is a lot of competition for Ramen in this area, but I would still definately come back. read more

Kozy Ramen & Bar is indeed a cozy and casual Japanese bistro that opened recently in Annandale! My friend and I stopped by for lunch yesterday. There isn't a whole lot of seating, but we were seated immediately without issues. RAMEN COMBO 1 - 18 For the combo, you can get a ramen + bao bun (so -2.00 together compared to ordering separately). I got the ORIGINAL TONKOTSU RAMEN and BULGOGI BUN. The ramen came in a smaller bowl than I expected and came with a good amount of toppings: pork chashu, nori, scallions, ramen egg, Japanese fish cake, wood ear and even bean sprouts. There was only one piece of pork chashu (thought it would be at least two). The broth was flavorful without being too heavy or greasy and delightful to sip on without being too salty. The ramn noodles were the wavy egg noodles, which isn't my preference but the texture here was fine. All the toppings tasted fresh. As for the bao bun, the bao was soft and fluffy. There was a fair amount of well-marinated bulgogi which was topped generously with scallions and drizzled with some spicy mayo. This was a great little appetizer! The service was great and our server offered us green tea mochi ice cream on the house, which was a delightful treat to the end of our meal. The food was yummy and homey, and I would definitely come back for it. I recommend the ramen combo so you can try both ramen and a bao bun! It's also a good amount of food for a good price. read more

So tanpopo ramen house rebranded as Kozy ramen. The menu is mostly the same. I will say the broth has improved since the rebranding. It used to be a bit more oily but now is smoother and more "bone broth-y" if that's even such a thing. The spicy tonkotsu was rich and had lots of toppings. Service was good and quick. Will definitely say it has more of a comfort food feel than anything else. I'll be back to try some different ramen. read more

My brother and I made a visit and the location is right off Markham St. You will see big white lit letters JMT Kitchen, pulled into parking lot which is limited but manageable. It's like a mini Block but there's only 3 restaurants so far: A & J, Kozy and JMT. Once you parked, walk up the ramp passing A & J Restaurant, inside the building is the restaurant on your right. There's limited seatings but manageable. The menu is on clipboards, server/ food runner will come and take your order. The menu has so many varieties from small plates, bao buns, ramens, combos, salads, udon, rice bowls and sides. We ordered 5 items: 1) Spicy Tori Ramen with chashu bao bun 2) Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with spicy jeyuk bao bun 3) Chicken Karaage. We both did a combo meal and there's two options: 1) Ramen with bao bun 2) Ramen with assorted tempura. Both of the ramen were delicious one was chicken and the other was pork. Though the menu states that it is spicy, it wasn't. If you want forehead sweating spicy then you need to inform your server that you want it fiery spicy. So we will get that next time. Now the bao buns that we selected, that was part of the combo. The chashu was tasty and meat was tender. But the jeyuk was very flavorful and delicious. The sauce that was drizzle on top made it very scrumptious. The chicken karaage was unique unlike your typical karaage. It wasn't as crunchy like but these were very moist, tender and delicious. The restaurant was clean, some decor on the ceilings and walls, staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I would return to try other items on their menu. read more

Kozy Ramen & Bar is a nice little ramen spot tucked inside an older shopping mall in Annandale, the same one where popular hangout spot JMT Kitchen & Bar is located. This spot used to be a ramen shop, but it looks like there's been a change in ownership. I came in with my brother on a Friday night, and it wasn't too busy. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere, and the service was good. The menu could use some improvement--it looked like a simple home printout with tiny text that was hard to read, and the digital menu wasn't working when I tried to scan it. I ordered the combo spicy tonkotsu ramen + chashu bun, and both were pretty solid. I'd rate the food around 3-4 stars--good, but nothing mind-blowing. That said, since it's only five minutes from my house, it's a convenient spot to grab a bowl of ramen without having to go too far. If you're in the area and craving ramen, it's worth a stop! read more

I saw Bulgogi on the menu and knew right away this place wasn't run by the Japanese! However, the place is very much decorated like a Japanese restaurant. There are a bunch of Japanese-themed small posters all over the restaurants. They also have hot sake on the menu! We ordered pork baos, tonkatsu rice, spicy tonkatsu ramen, spicy chicken ramen, and spicy miso ramen. We tried to share a sip of the broth. It seemed like they used the same kind of spice for all. Even though we ordered three different broths, they tasted very similar because we ordered the spicy versions. The base of the broth tasted good. Tonkatsu surprised us. It was crisp in all the right way and very delicious. The pork baos, however, were something I wouldn't order again. It was meh. Ramen-wise, this place put up serious competition in the area but it's not my top pick. Their spiciness needs some work. It wasn't quite there for me. Another minor downside to this place is that the staff works really slowly. I counted 3 staff in the front. There were 3 to 5 max full tables the entire time we were there. It took an unreasonably long time for us to get our ramen. Our drinks and appetizer came like 10 minutes after we sat down. We were hungry so ordered everything at once. Our ramen came out like 40 to 50 minutes later. Why? Do they only have a single chef doing everything in the back? Even though I'd come back, I'd have to think about it because of this. read more

Kozy Ramen & Bar is a welcome addition to the Annadale 'hood! This new restaurant took over what was once known as Tanpopo - their menu is pretty extensive, offering various small plates/apps, salads, ramen, udon, rice bowls, and even yakisoba. We came here for an early dinner, and we were seated promptly. We ordered: +the Bulgogi Bun - filled with stir-fried bulgogi with iceberg lettuce, sliced cucumbers, and scallions, drizzled with a house sauce - the bun was steamed perfectly, and the bulgogi was savory! This was such a savory, juicy bun! +Chicken Karaage - bite-sized pieces of crispy fried chicken thigh chunks, drizzled with a savory soy- and mayo-based sauce +Spicy Miso Ramen - a spicy miso broth with pork chashu, a nitimago egg, naurto, kikurage, bean sprouts, scallions, and a piece of nori; you choose between 'spicy' or 'fiery' for your spice level, in which I went for the 'spicy'; the noodles were cooked well, and the broth was actually thick and creamy with a nice heat that hits you (in a nice way) in the back of the throat! +Spicy Tori Ramen - a spicy chicken broth with chicken chashu, a nitimago egg, naruto, kikurage, bean sprouts, scallions, and a piece of nori; as the other ramen, you choose between 'spicy' or 'fiery' for your spice level, in which the hubs went for the 'spicy'; the noodles were cooked well, and the broth was okay; I preferred the the miso version as this was more of a thinner broth There was a complimentary bowl of iceberg lettuce and veggies, topped with sauteed onions - this was very fresh and pretty yummy! There was also a side dish of pickled daikon radish. Definitely take advantage of their Ramen Combinations, in which you can order a bao of of your choice or a small plate of assorted tempura with your choice of ramen! Don't miss out on their dessert, as they have vanilla, strawberry, and green tea mochi cream, which is a great way to end your meal! Service was super friendly, welcoming, and kind! There was plenty of seating, but I particularly loved the decor - the wall art was fun to look! I'd love to return to try their other small plates and entrees! Plenty of parking is available in the lot. +delicious buns! +soothing broths! +super friendly service! +plenty of parking read more

I tried the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen Fiery and the Spicy Jeyuk Bun, and both were amazing! The ramen was super spicy--kind of like Buldak Bokkeum Myeon--but in a really satisfying way that makes you want to keep eating. It definitely helped relieve some stress! I added bean sprouts and green onions, which toned down the heat a bit and made the flavors even better. Also, the chashu here is on another level--thick, super tender, and packed with flavor. Easily one of the best I've had! If you love spicy food, you've got to try the Fiery ramen. I'll definitely be back for more! read more

This restaurant is inside the 4316 Markham Building. Just walk up the ramp, go inside and you'll see a few different businesses. Kozy Ramen is straight ahead on the right. It was my first time coming here and I stopped by for lunch. It was a very relaxed atmosphere with Japanese pop playing. I ordered a Kirin lager with a Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen for my entree and the beer was served with a frosted glass and the ramen was immaculate. I love to eat food from all over and learn about the ingredients so I can better understand how and why it pairs together. The presentation was great and the broth and protein was spectacular.

Wow! What a find! For starters, such a cute spot-- the decor, the music! The food was also amazing! Not only did it come so quickly, but it all tasted so fresh. We had the: Pork Gyoza-- a 10/10! The veggies were crunchy, the meat tender, and the gyoza were super crispy. Bulgogi Bao Bun-- also great! I'm not usually a big fan of buns, but the meat was flavorful, balanced well with crisp cucumbers, and a soft bun. Tonkotsu Ramen-- so good! A hearty flavorful beef broth paired with fresh toppings! No mushy veggies. Loved the textures and flavors! The pork was fantastic, melt in your mouth. Overall, so glad we went there. My boyfriend and I, were both satisfied with the meal, and it was very affordable! I can't end without praising the service. They were so attentive, and so kind!
