Came here to catch up with an old friend and to eat lunch. We had the edamame to start and I had the shoyu ramen. In my opinion, the bowl was kind of small. Service was really good, with the server giving me refills on my water several times.

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.

Needed a quick bite to eat before heading home and this spot came up in my vicinity. You have to walk inside of the building to get to it. I was sat down quickly. They were super kind and attentive towards me. The food came out fast and all of it was absolutely delish! Pricing was great, too! It definitely lived up to it's name because I definitely felt "kozy" as if I was eating at home. Parking can be a gamble since the lot isnt but so big but I found one fairly quickly.if you like trying different ramen spots, this one is worth a visit!

Side salad and radish starter

I'm struggling between a 3 and a 4 star rating, because this is truly a 3.5. It wasn't bad, it was fine, would I go back again if I needed ramen ASAP? Yes. Would I search for somewhere else if I had time to search? Also yes. The restaurant is located within what looks like a warehouse, and the bathroom is a shared bathroom with the other restaurants on the floor. We were in and out of the restaurant in 30 minutes, it wasn't very full and the serviec was quick. We ordered beef gyoza to start, original tonkotsu ramen, and spicy tonkotsu ramen. We each got a small side salad and radish platter after we ordered, which was a nice surprise. But then we got our ramen before our appetizer, which came a few minutes later. The gyoza were good, a little greasy but a good crispiness to them. The ramens were fine, they weren't the best ramens we've ever had. The original's broth felt like it was lacking some depth in flavor, but the ingredients were good. There was a lot of fat on my pork chashu, about half of it was meat and half was fat. The spicy's spice level was good, not burn your mouth spicy. It was a fine lunch but we left a little disappointed.

Spicy tonkatsu ramen!

Kozy is indeed cozy! Perfect for a quiet dinner. There's something about the pork that is spectacular! So tender and flavorful. Have come multiple times and each experience was excellent.

Beer bulgogi bao bun.

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!!

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.

Bulgogi buns
Molak B.

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.

Miso ramen
Anna B.

Loved our first visit! The restaurant is very comfy and the service was great! The food was also amazing. Highly recommend this place!

Richard O.

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.

Miso ramen pork and green grape sparkling ade. Yummy!!!
M. T.

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!

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.

This was a delicious fine. Very, very good Ramen, good service, and cute atmosphere. It was the best tonkatsu Ramen I've had. Highly recommend this little find.

After a pretty disappointing dinner with friends, we decided we weren't satisfied and wanted dinner…read morepart 2! We actually stumbled in here because it was the only thing open around 10. (Which I love by the way, more places in NOVA should be open later at night!) We ordered a Seafood Ramen and a Spicy Ramen. Both were scrumptious honestly. My friend's seafood ramen was super flavorful, and we requested something to make it extra spicy and they brought us chili oil which made it even better! I got the Spicy Ramen which was honestly perfect for my liking of heat and flavorful. The pork was also very nice and tender. I got a white peach beer here that I also enjoyed a lot! This place was the perfect vibe for a chill girls night. The server accidentally forgot to bring out my friends miso soup but they took it off our bill at the end so all good. I know this location is closing soon and I'm sad it took me this long to try it, but glad that I did.

Located in a small strip mall - this is on the corner and seems like it would be small based on the front facade, yet there was plenty of space inside - tables, and a bar to sit at. We ordered several appetizers: gyoza, buns, karaage, and takyoki. Buns was good - the meat was a little thin for my liking. Gyoza was standard and over fried and crispy. The takiyakk was good - standard. And the karaage was very good - tender white meat inside and the spicy mayo was a nice compliment. The ramen was also good - nothing over the top or trying to be anything it isn't. Just good solid ramen. Would recommend. And will return.

We went and got the AYCE premium menu (which is ridiculous that you have to choose the premium for nigiri and sashimi but whatever), and upon seating they give you a paper menu to write down your order. We got their premium box which is like $25 or $26 off of their à la cart menu and while it's super pretty to look at it was disgusting. The Wagyu was thick, slimy, and chewy and made me want to throw up. The toro had wayyyyy too much wasabi in it and felt like torture to eat. The other two pieces were ok but if I paid à la for it I'd be PISSED. The rolls and nigiri and sashimi were a mixed bag, some were okay, some were slimy, and some were just dry. The cooked food was decent but not very flavorful, my siblings favorite dish of the night was the cooked bulgogi which I found to be chewy and you guessed it, flavorless. Service left much to be desired, there's an hour 30 minute time limit on AYCE and you get four rounds total. They take your paper in the back to put in your order and don't bring it back out until all of your order has come out(which fair), but it takes about 30ish minutes per round and having to flag someone down to take your paper back is a pain. I think if they had tablets or maybe a call button that would be better? Unsure. Regardless the food quality needs a major upgrade to make it worth the price.

However, it took a while for our server to acknowledge us, even though she had passed our table several times. We decided on the AYCE menu, which allowed us to order up to 5 rounds, with premium items limited to one order. Our group only made it through 2 rounds. The food came out relatively fast, and the standouts were the chicken hibachi, popcorn shrimp, and premium sushi. The restaurant itself was pretty, trendy, and seemed like a cool place to visit, but the food was nothing too special, especially for the price. I would definitely come back and give it another try for a better experience.

Ok. Clearly, this place is not at a deficit for good reviews and rightfully so! I have eaten here…read morethree times and never been disappointed. Twice I've had the Laksa Noodle Soup with Pork Belly as a protein and the other time I came I had the Beef Stew (Bò Kho) because the first time I was jealous of my buddy's entree. Thus, on my second visit, I switched it up and tried it. 3rd visit, back to the favorite, Laksa Curry and this most recent time I added fried egg on top for a little extra oompf! Although this place is one of several choices in this food hall, and in the local are, I literally make a special point to battle the DMV traffic and pick up a meal there anytime I'm in town. The service is quick and the food is delicious - spice levels appropriately scaled, the quantity of protein in the dish was generous for the portion size, the temperature was hot (not unbearable) and held its heat for decent amount of time while consuming this deliciousness. The vibe of the food hall varies by the day. Some days the tv's by the bar are showing sports games, other nights there may be trivia, and once there was a cool dj. This place is buzzing with a nice vibe no matter the day (of the three days I've been there, lol). This place is a new definition of a value meal. Solid quality, filling, clean tasting. All for about $20. I'll take it.

They are nestled in the "The Block" -- a food court in Annandale. On a Thursday night this place was comfortably full with people enjoying their meals at every table. When we got our food it was hot and fresh. I first tried their fried chicken tacos on roti. So unique to add the roti in there and I liked how it was able to hold up and also not be too heavy. I was pretty full after just 1. Then I tried the lemon pepper lime wings, also delicious. The lime initially kind of through me off but quickly began to grow on me. And then my all time favorite were the garlic Lo mein noodles with beef added. My oh my. I would drive to VA just for these if I was craving them. I haven't had good noodles like this since I was in California. And I don't think I mentioned it earlier but the service was spectacular. Everyone is so kind in here! Check it out.
