I've seen Miso Honey a number of times over in Georgetown, but always opted for something else. Today, I decided to try it out and ordered the tonkotsu ramen. In a word, decent. The flavor of the ramen broth was good. However, the noodles were a little mushy. For the broth, the balance of salt, miso, green onions and pork made the meal. There was a good amount of meat in there, so that helped make up for the noodles, and they were a little bit on the fatty side, but as they say, "Fat is flavor". I like to eat hot soups like ramen and pho on hot days and today, you could have steamed bao outside on the sidewalk. Speaking of...the pork belly bao was quite good. Nice crunch from the cucumber and great flavor. The bao was soft and thin so it allowed the other flavors and textures to come through. Certainly not the best ramen I've ever had, but it works. read more

Visited here again and needed to update my review. I still wish I could rate it at about 3 1/2 In 2017-2018. I ordered the miso hot ramen(tonkotsu)The broth was pretty tasty. I would say standard definitely. The ingredients were decent. I thought the pork was tasty as well as those two surprises of menma, which I wish was more of in the soup. The noodles were the epic fail of this dish. Over cooked and almost mushy. Now I'm not sure if they got this way from the walk back to my office (5/4 minutes down the street) or if they were already this way. The noodles just spoiled it. It almost made me feel as though I was eating a bowl of top ramen made at home with overcooked noodles.(and we all know how those top ramen noodles swell) This place doesn't compare to the other ramen shops in DC and I didn't expect it to either. After all it is a food truck and I don't expect fine cuisine from them. Fast forward to 2019, I just ordered 3 buns. One chick. One pork and one beef. All delish! The chicken has a nice grilled flavor and the sauce and green onion pair well with it. They also had sliced cucumber. The pork belly was amazing as well as the bulgogi. I loved the sauce in the bulgogi. I could have done with out the coleslaw topping, it honestly didn't need it. All the meats were flavorful and tender. I would come back just for the buns. 3 for $8 not too bad at all. This makes me want to try their ramen again. read more

Miso Honey - Yummy buns. Chicken, bulgogi, pork belly - Food Trucks Near Me

Two and a half stars. Matt and I experienced slightly different bowls of tonkotsu, but we were both satisfied by the chashu ratio. The menma and scallion ratios were pretty standard, there were plenty of bean sprouts, and two sheets of nori to garnish. I get that eggs are probably a logistical pain in the butt when your focus is split among other entrees as well, but I do find myself missing that richness that ramen trucks in other major cities don't forgo. Noodles in mine were more properly chewy; the biggest drawback (as could be argued with most food truck soups) was the milky, light broth. Grease content was okay and I still think as far as noodle soup goes, Miso Honey's offering better than the food truck pho I've tried. Sufficiently filling without sides. Service was polite and attempted to be efficient between the team of three, but you definitely have to listen for your order contents and keep an eye on the couple people who ordered right before you, since the order-taker's facial recognition/retention is nil. Yakitori chicken skewers no longer available as a side, basic American sodas, to-go mini tubs for chili oil, chopsticks and forks. I'll likely give their chicken shio ramen and bulgogi bao a try once the weather cools down. read more

Finally found some good ramen in the city! I wasn't sure what to expect from a truck vendor but it turned out great, a little pricey but it met my expectation of miso spicy. They were parked at metro center station the morning I saw them and I guess the name was a good advertisement because I had ramen on my mind all morning. read more

Miso Honey - Food Trucks Near Me

I had the chicken shio ramen from this food truck and it was sadly mediocre. The broth had a nice flavor (I asked them to make it spicy) and it was a generous serving. But the food itself had no flavor! Just chunks of flavorless roast chicken with bland, mushy noodles and a little bit of bean sprouts. My friend got a chicken rice bowl and was also underwhelmed. It's definitely a lot of food, but I bet you can find better options nearby. read more

Miso Honey - Menu 10/15 - Food Trucks Near Me

They raised their prices so it's 3 bao for $8. I got two Yakitori chicken and one bulgogi. Flavorwise, they were all tasty. I did ask for no cilantro or kimchi slaw on the bulgogi one but that request was not honored. They're not very big or filling, but good for a light lunch. If DC had a better bao/ generally more authentic Chinese food scene, I don't think they could compete. But for now, it works. read more

On this blisteringly chilly weather, a bowl of warm ramen just hit the spot. The culmination of fresh noodles, flavorful broth with bamboo shoots and bean sprouts made for a very satisfying lunch. There's a lot food in the bowl, it will definitely fill you up. I probably could have gone with out the pork belly bun, but that was also a nice treat. read more

I ordered the "pork belly" bao buns. But after searching under the like of scallions I found a tiny little piece of meat that was supposedly the pork belly. Even for how cheap it was (2 for $4) I wouldn't have ordered from this truck again. It was basically all bao bun and scallions. Might want to rethink your menu or stop being so stingy with your main components. read more

Miso Honey - The pork belly on the right had the thickness of a piece of bologna. It was soggy and flavorless - Food Trucks Near Me

A decent food truck experience, but a tiny bit overpriced. I'd recommend to go for multiple bulgogi bao buns as a meal for best impact. They're relatively small, but well composed and tasty bites - flavorful meats and dressings on tender buns, mmmm! The ramen broth itself is doesn't have much complexity to it, and the toppings are somewhat meager, but the bowl size and portions of broth and noodle are good for a filling meal. Both the tonkatsu pork and the shio chicken don't have much flavor beyond the broth; I'd say they could benefit from a panko breading or something to help them stand out in texture or flavor from the rest of the bowl. Definitely give your bowl a healthy dollop of both the sesame oil and Sriracha at the window to help fill out both the flavors and richness that I think are lacking from the base broth. All in all, not a must go-to, but it will fill the void on a cold blustery day if you need some soup, stat. read more

Miso Honey - Bulgogi bao bun - Food Trucks Near Me

Miso Honey stood out from the usual lineup of food trucks this afternoon. It's a great concept, but you shouldn't expect high quality ramen or bao from here. The pork belly bao (2 for $4) needs a lot of improvement. It was a mouthful of green onion/cucumber garnish atop a thin slice of flavorless pork belly. The bun split at the fold so it was more like a green onion slider on two steamed buns and pretty messy. read more

Miso Honey - Pork belly bao - Food Trucks Near Me

I had the miso hot ramen several weeks ago and haven't been able to stop thinking about it since! It was just incredible. It was balanced, perfectly spicy, tremendous flavor... like a warm blanket on a cold day. Perfectly comforting. I tried a bulgogi bao as well which was also very good. My only complaint is I'm sitting here writing this review on a Saturday with no access to this amazing ramen that I'm craving on the daily. read more

I was so excited to finally see a ramen truck in DC and truly wanted to have a new go-to food truck during lunch. However, Miso Honey is a HUGE disappointment. My tonkotsu ramen was terribly unflavorful. While the portion was pretty generous, much of my ramen bowl went to waste - I just couldn't eat this "ramen". I also ordered a pork belly and chicken steamed bao. The buns themselves were made very well, reminiscent of the ones my grandma makes. However, the buns had barely any meat, or anything else for that matter. I would like to see this truck succeed as I think it has a lot of potential being the first and only ramen truck that I know of in DC. Until they fix their recipes I won't be coming back here. read more

I had the tonkotsu ramen today, and it was really surprisingly good! I went just before the truck stop serving lunch for the day at 2pm. The ramen was really great, and very generous in terms of both portion and the amount of pork. I suspect the owners are reading the reviews here, and adjusting in response to constructive criticism. Really worth a try, again if you were previously disappointed. read more

Keeping in mind this is a food truck... Had the tonkatsu ramen and honestly it wasn't bad at all. Flavorful and good portion. I did add a little spicy sesame oil that they provide. Would I go back? Yes read more

So my neighborhood had Miso Honey come here today and I got 2 orders of the buns and they were delicious, especially the pork belly!!! Buns were soft and fluffy and filling was flavorful. Nice treat during trying times of being stuck at home. read more

I mean what do you expect from food truck ramen??? Y'all too harsh. If you're craving ramen, this will only satisfy for 85% of the way. I ate this on my way back to Philly in the car. Honestly enjoyable. @MisoHoney Add an egg!!! For free read more

I'm so glad I tried this food truck. I love the name, but the Miso Ramen with pork was amazing. I'm from Jamaica so the spice was just right. I don't know how authentic it is, but it's very tasty. This miso made my day. read more

I see the truck a lot and finally decided to give it a try. I had the spicy pork ramen and it was SO good! The pork was tender and flavorful and the broth was out of this world. Best ramen broth I've had in DC. The ratio of meat to noodles was good too. Ill be back! read more

I will give Miso Honey some credit. The name is creative. I don't see any menu items that use honey here, but miso is covered. Granted, the "me so horny" line, taken from Stanley Kubrick's epic Vietnam War era movie "Full Metal Jacket", involves a Vietnamese prostitute distracting American troops while her partner in crime robs them of a camera. For those of us who grew up in the 90s, we might remember the line as one that was constantly used to denigrate Asian women (particularly those of Vietnamese descent) by a host of misogynist men who apparently found the distasteful phrase to be humorous. Eventually, the line found its way into a 2 Live Crew song by the same name and the rest is history. Or at least it was until it was brought back by this team for their decidedly non-Vietnamese cuisine. If only the misplaced racial slur was the only criticism one could find for Miso Honey. Like many places, Miso Honey realizes that American tastes have evolved to enjoy pork belly, a previously cheap product that tastes like a bacon upgrade. Pork belly is best when it's delectably soft, but here, it is unfortunately a bit chewy. The pork belly tacos have a somewhat tropical taste to them which is unexpected and somewhat clashing with the pork belly itself. For all the people who hate on Toki Underground, do I have a place for you for your tonkatsu ramen! The version here uses precious little salt, and there are a mere handful of options to flavor your ramen. The broth itself has no discernible flavor so perhaps this is a wise choice for those who find fault with flavorful preparations. In sum, aside from the creative yet potentially offensive name, I didn't really enjoy this truck. If you hate Toki Underground, this might be a good selection for you. This is not how I like my ramen, but I'll afford that reasonable minds can differ. read more

I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this ramen given some of the previous reviews. I've been to all the ramen places in DC, including Toki, Daikaya, Sakuramen, OkiBowl, etc., and while Miso Honey doesn't quite compare to Toki (which I consider the best in the area), it can definitely hold its own. The Tonkotsu Hot Miso Ramen had good flavor and was a decent portion as well. It came with what you would typically expect in ramen, pieces of tonkotsu, bamboo, bean spouts, and seaweed. I can't speak to the "Baos" Miso Honey serves, but if I'm looking for my ramen fix, I will definitely be back. read more

The catchy name is deceiving. I thought I would grab some hot soup on this drizzly and cold day, so I went for the most convenient. Bad idea. I should have known when they handed me the bowl and I could see grease floating on top underneath the lid. For the record, I got the chicken ramen. With every bite my lips were covered in oil. It also has a lot of pepper in it. Pepper in miso soup? This is a new one for me. The flavor is passable, if I could just get past the grease. Guys, in the future, you may want to chill the broth, skim the fat off and then bring it back to temperature. It could help. read more

I liked this more than I thought I would! The bulgogi baos were amazing and so were the pork belly ones! The chicken bao was surprisingly really good too and has that same hoisin sauce flavor as the pork belly. Would definitely eat here again! read more

Decided to try this because of the long line. Tonkotsu ramen wasnt very good. I had the bao as well and it was also not very good. Just, eh. The flavors were flat and the pork did not melt in my mouth like good tonkotsu pork should. Disappointed read more

I'm not sure what deserves a 1 star since I don't use yelp as much as most people but today I just had to leave a review. I've been wanting to try Miso Honey ever since the first day I saw the truck in D.C. I now regret eating there. I only tried the pork belly bao but I've seen enough to not want to even bother again. I'd like to think that I know good ramen and Asian cuisine but this is far from that. There was not even the smallest attempt at a good presentation and the bao was not even that warm. It tastes like something you'd warm up in the microwave. I wouldn't recommend this truck. Even $4 for the quality was asking too much. From the looks of the other reviews you should probably redo the entire menu or bring someone aboard who actually has experience cooking these dishes. I give it two stars since I didn't try the entire menu. read more

I am disappointed in my service today, I ordered the Tonkotsu. The guy behind me proceeds to order, as well as another patron as I wait for my food. The the cashier mentions to both that they've ran out of veggies and offers other items off of the extra menu. I get to my desk no bamboo shoots or Nori. Now before I even ordered I asked about items on the extra menu. The cashier said no those items are for rice bowls. Why would you give others the option to add items for free since you didnt have the veggies but tell me it wasnt an option. I would have given no stars it possible read more

Their black truck caught my eye at the front of a pearl strand of food trucks flanking the Phoenix Park Hotel on a Thursday noon. Very good. Reasonably priced. Perfect lunch on the go. Nice gentle heat with the Miso Ramen, with chili oil and sriracha on the side if you are feeling boldly inclined. Bamboo shoots, green onions, corn kernels, and chive floated amongst the tendrils of noodle. I expected an egg or two as a matter of course. I'll expect him to make good the next time around. read more

I love this truck. I work at a building where 10-12 food trucks will be waiting around lunchtime and if I see this truck in the lineup, they're my pick every time. Their miso honey ginger chicken rice bowl with cilantro, jalapeños, toasted sesame seeds and the miso honey ginger sauce... drool... so good. I ordered a water with my food and (despite being busy) the guy wiped off the condensation on the bottle before adding it to my order and calling my number. A small detail, but appreciated :) read more

This is the second time I got Tonkotsu Ramen and it was just as amazing as the first time. It reminds me of a tiny ramen place in Japan that had the most delicious miso ramen and tonkotsu ramen I have ever eaten. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the pork slices were really tender and meaty. It has all of the classic elements: a rich, savory broth, perfectly cooked ramen noodles, bean sprouts that are crunchy, pieces of nori, a lovely vegetable called wood ear, which doesn't sound great, but it's a mild crunchy veg that reminds me a little bit of bamboo shoots, scallions (which I skipped, but I can imagine the flavor), and delicious pork slices called "chashu". The staff is very nice. The price, ($11) may seem high, but it's worth every single penny in my opinion. I would love to try more menu items like the rice bowls and steamed buns. read more

I was really happy with the Tonkotsu ramen and pork belly bao. As other reviewers mention, a little on the bland side, so request a side of the hot chili paste for the ramen. Could use a little extra accouterments a la Toki Underground, but it's convenient to my office and hits the spot on a cold winter day. Recommendation to the owners: soft egg add-on for $1 read more

Got the Pork (Tonkotsu) Ramen today, and wasn't that impressed. A few pieces of pork, lots of noodles, and some scallions and a little bit of corn, I think? It seemed a bit greasy overall, and I ate about half of it. I've had better food truck ramen. read more

Wow! As someone who looks to food trucks for lunch 4/7 days per week, I must say that the rice bowl I had from Miso Honey was one of the best in recent memory. I have not tried the ramen. It all starts with the chicken, which is crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside. The chunk size seems natural, not like the processed feeling from those artificial cubes other trucks serve. And the oil/fat content of the protein portion didn't invite any guilty feelings after consuming the whole bowl. On top of that goes a plethora of vegetables. While many halal trucks offer lettuce, cucumber, and tomatoes then call it a day, this bowl was quite a delight with its pickled radishes, slivered cucumbers, jalapeños, and bean sprouts to name a few. I believe this is where most of the value is, so keep it up! The variety of veggies allow many subtle flavors to pull through with each bite, negating the need for a drenching of dressing or slathering of sauce (i.e. the whole meal tastes healthier). Of course they do have a nice selection of sauce options, to tinge the tang just the right way. Plopped atop a bed of rice, the bowl is a good size. I was completely content after my meal, without any encumbrance of my energy level. Simply put, this meal from Miso was a muse to my mouth! read more

Miso Honey - Chicken rice bowl, all veggie options, Thai chili sauce. - Food Trucks Near Me

The biggest issue I have when looking for lunch around L'Enfant is that the potion sizes are massive. I want half of what everyone offers. That's why the Bao Buns are perfection! The bun itself is soooo tastes and soft. It's a perfect gooey flavorful combo. Then when looking inside the bulgogi steak is tender not fatty. You can tell it's good meat. The veggies all seem fresh, really delightful! Also if you're feeling under the weather it's a great choice because you can pop some Siracacha on there and BAM! Sinuses clear up. The gal was really sweet and even gave me a bag for the road since I had to walk back to work. Finally, I have to give kudos for the name. Absolutely adorable! I'd take a picture of the food but I already inhaled the buns! read more

Miso Ramen (offered in chicken or pork) is a thick, rIch, savory, delicious, and satisfying broth with generous noodles and meat, but plan on drinking a lot of water in the afternoon, it is very, very salty. read more

This is by far some of the best ramen I have eaten in the area! If you see their truck, it's a must have!

I don't even know where to begin! I took an intern to lunch and we came across this truck. I had never had Ramen before and decided to give them a try. I now know why the queue was so long. Holy sugar! The broth was flavorful, the ramen was perfect and the meat was just right. I also tried a steamed chicken bun for the first time and I loved the bit of sweetness in the bun, the umami flavor of the chicken and the crunch of the cucumber. I can't wait until I come across their truck again. read more

It's ok. I really wanted to like it, considering it is pretty much your only truck option for ramen. But I was sadly disappointed. I got the Tonkotsu (pork ramen). The noodle ratio is fine, but the meat they included is more of a garnish. Also, they used sliced pork, which does not really lend itself well to ramen. Pulled or shredded would work a lot better. The pork tasted ok, if bland. The noodles are ok too, nothing special. The broth is incredibly boring. Edible I guess, but bland. Where they really run into trouble is the bamboo. I am 95% sure it is canned, as it is really thick and funky tasting. They should either get it fresh (which I know is hard) or even better simply cut it from the recipe. Overall, I would not recommend it. If it were cheaper (say, 6 bucks a bowl) it might be ok. But at $9 a bowl, I expect much better. read more

I just had this again yesterday. The pork belly and broth is sooo good. If you haven't tried this before you are missing out. I eat Pho all the time, at least twice a week and visiting Miso Honey is a special treat for me. The best Roman / Pho type of soup I have ever had. read more

I was pleasantly surprised with this truck. I did not expect much but it was good. I got the pork ramen with two steamed buns. I thought the steamed buns themselves were on the bland side. The filling was good though. The pork (the same pork in the ramen) is well seasoned and tasty. It was very refreshing. The beef steamed bun was just ok. The ramen broth was delicious. I would definitely order it again. The ramen was slightly over cooked but very delicious. read more
