Delicious ramen spot with a great vibe and speedy service! Stopped in with my boyfriend and we both got the staple OKI curry ramen. Did not disappoint!
Do you know how dang good a ramen spot has to be to frequent it twice in a week! This curry ramen has won my heart over. The broth is curated to perfection, piping hot, creaming, layered spices dance on your tongue. The crispy chicken somehow stays crisp throughout the dining experience. All the other goodies on top add both texture and flavor for a bite that has you going back for more each time. Both times I ordered my bowl was licked clean! It is a bit pricy (around the 20ish range) however in my opinion the portions make it worth. The inside of the restaurant only adds to the experience as you are surrounded by quirky pops of color and art!
Expansive menu, huge portions, great service, and most importantly DELICIOUS RAMEN! Cant go wrong here, will definitely be back!
Unique atmosphere and Ramen was delicious. It's not a typical ramen bowl. Strawberry lemonade was a bit tart, but still good. $35 after tip for one person.
This is now called, Oki Shoten. I love the menu at this place and can't wait to go back to try more dishes. I wasn't very hungry on my last visit so I just ordered the Dumpling Curry, Tofu Tempura, and Taro Milk Boba Tea. It was all delicious and I had enough leftovers for two more meals. I tried a piece of my friend's kale tempura (from the Galanga Ramen) and it was insanely good. I could have a bowl of just the kale. Not sure if they sell kale tempura separately but they should!
Kale was super delicious! Eel bowl was good but eel a tiny bit over overcooked. And needed more sauce but otherwise delucious!
OKI Bowl is an adorable spot in Georgetown that is always a solid option for your ramen cravings! I have been here twice and have always gotten the Oki Curry Ramen - a delicious curry ramen with crispy fried chicken, onions, and noodles. So flavorful and comforting! Not too spicy and uses quality ingredients. The ambiance is very colorful and clean. Each member of the staff helps you feel right at home and is very accommodating. Note you pay via Toast that cannot be split between different people. Here is where Venmo comes in handy! Will always love OKI Bowl!
Three stars for great service. Wanted to love it. Cute place, the menu looked so yummy! But no. The ramen lacked flavor! I ordered the spicy Tom Yum shrimp ramen bowl and my daughter ordered the miso bowl. We needed seasoning! We asked for soy sauce and they seemed puzzled. It was brought over and then several minutes later they asked if we were done using it and took it back. Like what? Y'all only got one bottle for everyone? The broth was bland which caused my spicy broth to really stand out more in heat. My daughter always likes miso broth because it's always a bit thicker than regular broths. It was not flavorful. The egg was delicious and the tempura shrimp were good. For $50 it was a no. Wouldn't recommend the two bowls we got. Maybe something else is better?
This little ramen shop is so cute inside! The ambiance and décor are amazing. I got the yakisoba noodles -- they were very good and flavorful, just a bit overpriced.
Very nice staff, cute decor inside but the food we got was so-so. Mine was hot fried chicken over rice. 80% rice and the chicken tasted like it came from Giant or Safeway frozen food section. My wife got something else that was also average at best. Hope they improve but not for us.
This place is pretty good. I think its biggest strength is its atmosphere. The place is small, but decorated beautifully and great for a unique lunch. The ramen is pretty good and decent portions. The tea is delicious and they have a good amount of choices. My only thing is the pricing is a little much. Instead of a waiter taking your order, you just order via a QR code that leads to their website. It's nice because you get your order in sooner and it prevents any problems with splitting the bill. But the problem is they add a 22% gratuity fee, which I think is unnecessary given that the service wasn't really anything special. I liked this place and honestly I probably would go back for a scenic lunch with good ramen, but definitely not too often because of those prices.
Cozy hole in the wall with ramen bursting with flavor, hearty meaty and vegetarian options! The ambiance is kitschy and unique and best for solo diners and couples or 2 friends. The vegetarian Galanga Ramen is among the best I've had! It came with kale tempura, mushrooms, and I added a hard-boiled egg, bamboo shoots, roasted corn, and fried tofu. While all the toppings were good and helped to elevate the flavor, the coconut sweet broth with a mild spicy kick was truly the highlight of the dish. The ramen noodles were nice and chewy. Great portion size too! Hubby enjoyed the Yakisoba with fried chicken, his only complaint was that there wasn't enough broth. My ramen bowl had signficantly more broth than his. The bubbly Lychee Sake is refreshing and sweet. Hubby liked it so much that he got his own glass! I'm so glad I came here on my birthday with hubby (no kiddos!) It perfectly met my criteria - a delicious warm meal that I can't easily prepare at home and a cozy spot where I can't fit a stroller inside the restaurant. Total capacity is 15-20 people. There's only 1 booth/table seating for 4-5 people and overall not family-friendly for small tots (forget kids menus or high chairs!). Very student friendly though! The staff is nice and takes pride in their food! Among my favorite ramen spots in the city. Skip the restaurants on the main drag on M street and head up to Wisconsin Ave, it's worth the trek up the hill! Looking forward to coming back again!
The service was good they came to use very quickly and were really nice. They say us almost immediately. The place is really cute inside, it def gave me nostalgia with all the old pictures on the walls. The ramen was alright. I feel like there was something missing, it still tasted fine though. I didn't get sick from the ramen, but my boyfriend did. He had to throw up almost basically the rest of the day after eating this. I honestly think he has a weak stomach but idk his stomach was really messed up afterwards.
This was my first time to Oki Bowl and I will be back. The owner Nick and his wife are so friendly and personable. I gave them a 5 for service alone! They have really cool graphic art as you can see and plenty of seating inside. Now for the food. That Oki Curry Ramen is FIRE! Perfect amount of spice for me with a coconut curry and perfectly seasoned fried chicken. In the future I will ask for the chicken on the side because it looses crispness as it sits in the broth. I'd rather add it as I eat it, but flavor was definitely there. Sake was good if you like cold sake. They have hot as well. Octopus was very tasty as well. Overall a great experience, I recommend you try them out if you are in Georgetown! read more
Ramen purists may not like the offerings here but this is my absolute favorite ramen restaurant. They offer typical ramen but I love their other special ramen. The Tom Yum ramen is my absolute favorite. They also offer curry and kim chi ramen. There is a wonderful selection of appetizers. We ordered the shishito peppers and kani salad andr both were light and refreshing. There's a great selection of cocktails as well. Service is friendly and fast. If only I lived closer.. read more

I likes this place, but did find the ramen to be a little salty My boyfriend had some thoughts of his own too. "watch out for surprise dry ramen. it's good and tasty, and the whole prawn is great, but I love soup and broth too much to be totally okay with this" - boyfriend review read more
Came here on a weekday night with a friend at 5pm and it was empty, but it got a lot busier when the night went on. The interior decor is nice and very vibrant. You order through a QR code and pay online. I ordered the OKI Curry Ramen and Echigo Flying IPA. The broth was quite flavorful and the noodles were cooked well. The noodles themselves were decent, not the best. The chicken was good and lightly breaded, it does get soggy from the broth which is expected. A bit pricey but you are in Georgetown. The IPA was good, and it was my first time trying/seeing it. Service was fast and efficient. Not the best ramen I've ever had, but a good spot if you're in the area and craving ramen. I would rate it a 3.75/5, rounding it up to a 4/5. read more
Oki Bowl had such a fun interior! I was expecting a very hole in the wall place but was pleasantly surprised with the vibrant decor. I've had OKI bowl saved for a while and am so glad I came! For a monday evening, the restaurant was fairly busy, but our table was well taken care of and food + drinks came out quickly. For drinks, I ordered the iced green latte - perfectly sweet & great for the humid weather! For food, I ordered the miso ramen with fried chicken - it was delicious and filling! I do wish they had some chili oil and side of something spicy I could add to it for a bit more flavor, however overall it was great! My friends ordered the tom yum ramen and they said that one was spicier and really good! Overall, had a great time & enjoyed the ramen - definitely planning to come back as this is my favorite ramen place I've had thus far in the DC area :) read more

Oki bowl is such a vibe inside! The decor is very eclectic and makes you feel like you're super trendy for eating dinner in such a cool place. Although ramen is generally not my favorite food, I'm giving them 4 stars because the ramen broth was flavorful and not too salty. They also load your bowl up with a bunch of noodles, so I felt like I was getting my money's worth. I enjoyed my Tom yum ramen with spider crab and my boyfriend enjoyed his miso ramen. In the restaurant, I preferred the miso ramen because the Tom yum ramen was a bit spicy for me. Be warned, because I normally love spicy food! However, I took my leftovers home and added a little extra water to the broth so it was the perfect spice level! We also enjoyed the tofu tempura. The sauce had a slight kick to it, which paired perfectly with the tofu. I also liked the fish flakes on top. Added a nice flavor to what could have been a boring tofu dish! read more
Update: I have since learned that the kimchi ramen is, in fact, not vegetarian, since the broth is made with chicken broth. This was a pretty disappointing realization considering how much I loved that ramen, but the galanga ramen is also delicious (and is actually vegetarian)!! The delightfully fragrant broth is made with coconut milk and galangal and topped with assorted mushrooms and tempura kale -- you can also request "soft kale" (just boiled, unbattered kale) if you would prefer. All in all, Oki Bowl is a wonderful spot for unique and delicious takes on ramen, beautiful and Instagrammable decor, and what feels like a genuine illusion or hallucination when you stop by the restroom to wash your hands. Prices have risen over the last few years, so Oki Bowl isn't nearly as affordable as it was a few years ago, but they're still fairly reasonable for the ramen dishes. The appetizer prices are a bit outrageous, though -- just four pieces of shumai or karaage will cost you upwards of $12, and the tiniest bowl of seaweed salad or plain edamame will run $10. If you make your way to Oki Bowl, definitely go for one of the ramen or rice dishes and stay clear of the appetizers -- the portion sizes are also massive, so you probably won't even need the apps. read more
Ramen love with you too. Its easy to find, just look for the red brick building on Wisconsin. Parking is not as easy, although the metro is not far. I am a big fan of kale so when I saw a ramen bowl with it I took a chance and took a risk on ordering the Galanga Ramen. The coconut milk broth base was different, somewhat sweet. The kale was crusted in something that sort of soaked it up good, maybe thats the galanga? I'm not sure how they maintained a slight spicy kick that surprises you in some bites but it was delicious. read more

BEST ramen hands down. Ordered the curry ramen which I have been dreaming about since I went. My friend ordered the ramen with shrimp and loved it as well. I had the potstickers as the appetizer and those weren't good but the ramen made up for it. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

Delicious ramen! It was the perfect meal for a rainy day in DC. We came with a group of 4 and got seated right away for a Monday dinner. Ordering is easy; scan the QR code, then order and pay on the app. Each dish can be modified or changed to your preference. I started with the strawberry lemonade for a drink and ordered the Tom yum ramen. Usually it comes with shrimp but I substituted that with the fried chicken instead. I really appreciated the fact that substituting meat or any other modifications was free. The ramen was delicious! The perfect amount of spice and great flavor. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and really good. The only small thing that we noticed is there wasn't any hot sauce or chili oil when we requested it. The only thing they have is a spicy mayo for their sushi which wouldn't go well with ramen. Other than that no issues and our food was great. So far Oki Bowl is the best ramen I've had in DC! read more

OKI bowl is one of the most aesthetic and camp places to eat in DC. It's a bit on the smaller side but there's semi-outdoor seating that's just as fun as the inside. I ordered the miso ramen and it was super satisfying. The chasu pork and egg melt in your mouth, the corn is super sweet, and I really like that they also include bean sprouts. However, I think the broth itself is a bit lackluster. It doesn't really have a miso taste to it. The ordering process is super simple too -- you can place your order thru the website they give you with a QR code and it's essentially a running tab that you control until you close it. Great if people are shy about ordering/anxious when speaking to servers. (Definitely check out the bathroom here too -- equally as fun as the restaurant!) read more

I wasn't super impressed by this place. The bamboo shoots felt stringy, the broth wasn't very hot, and the egg wasn't as jammy as I would like. Nothing in my bowl looked very appetizing but I had to eat it nonetheless. I also find it so weird when establishments that make you order on an app and then don't have the waiter do much other than bring the food ask you for a tip when you pay. When you order on the app, it makes you prepay which is a red flag for me given that I haven't tried the food yet. I don't think I'll be back! read more

Such a very cute, lively setting! Restaurant is not as spacious but very cute, just in case you're cautious with COVID nowadays. I ordered the Oki Curry Ramen bowl. Very good! Not too spicy and not too oily (as in the past, some ramen would be too oily for me). I'm not a huge fan of ramen, but this place is one of my top places I would recommend to get a yummyful ramen bowl! read more

Really cute interior! Indoor/outdoor limited seating available. Man, this place is decorated so well - it's funky, fun, and entertaining. Food was good too. Service was good. Great spot for a unique date night! read more
I went to Oki on a rainy Saturday afternoon to enjoy some ramen. I immediately noticed how interesting the restaurant was decorated, this surprisingly caries over to the bathroom too. It is very unique but I enjoyed seeing something different. They had great mid 2000s music playing as well which was fun. The restaurant isn't huge but they have both indoor and outdoor seating options which is nice. The menu and ordering was all done through the QR code on table so we didn't have the chance to interact with the staff very much but everything came out quickly and correctly. We ordered the Oki Curry Ramen and the YAKISOBA noodles, both with fried chicken. Both dishes were delicious and I would recommend either depending on what mood you're in. The curry ramen was a little different than traditional ramen and was like a Thai/Japan fusion dish but it tasty and had a good kick to it and the different topping completed each other well. The yakisoba noodles had a great salty and sour flavor but since there wasn't a broth the chicken felt a little dry so we asked for a side of spicy mayo for dipping. A solid Japanese restaurant in the city, definitely worth a try if you're in Georgetown and are in the mood for a warm bowl of noodles! I'll definitely be back at some point to try some of their other dishes! read more
