1. Qu Ramen
Courtney R.

Fast, convenient, and pretty good ramen in the heart of college park. I dropped in on a Game Day Saturday, ordered at the kiosk, and had my food less than 5 minutes later. The Qu Ramen was okay, the broth was super flavorful and there was plenty of mix-ins. If you're in the area, it's worth a try but not a place I'd go out of my way for (like Jinya) Heads up, there are only about 4 tables inside so be prepared to take it to go if they're full.

A6 on their menu
Linda L.

We came here since we wanted a quick dinner after moving our boys out of their dorms. This is an order up at the counter place, with several tables and some seating at a counter. It was clean and the menu items were in several areas for people to see. TBH, I am not a ramen fan but the rest of the family are. Two family members ordered the A6, which is a beef and ramen dish, one family ordered the chicken teriyaki with ramen, and I did a custom order of hibachi, with chicken and soy sauce, vegetables, rice, a spring roll and a side of yum-yum dipping sauce. The A6 ramen was a hit, with a tasty both and perfectly cooked ramen egg. The family member that ordered the teriyaki chicken said that the chicken tasted like salmon and gave his dish an "alright" rating. My hibachi dish was really salty. Yes, I realize I ordered it cooked with soy sauce. I guess I'm used to using low salt soy sauce. At least the veges weren't over cooked. As for the spring roll, it was doughy and unappealing. So, since I'm not a ramen fan, I doubt I will be a repeat patron.

Tonkotsu Ramen
Min Z.

Service was friendly and great. Food was good and the atmosphere was casual. The prices were inexpensive. We ordered: 3*Miso Tonkotsu Ramen: it was good value. Ramen was good but the soup was ordinary 3.5*Hibachi Beef with rice: rice was cooked Al dente, good texture, but not much beef or vegetables. Mostly rice. It came with spring roll. 3*Mathcha Cheesecake: a bit too sweet. 3*Fruit sweet roll: soft, moist and not too sweet.

A great quick service restaurant in College Park! I really enjoyed the hibachi meal quite a bit, which came with ample protein, great sauce, and delicious vegetables too! The egg roll and dumplings weren't great, but they were pretty tasty! The Oreo mousse cake was a great way to end the meal. One issue with the restaurant was that the interior had a semi-rotten smell, like the garbage hadn't been taken out. Other than that, it was a great experience!

6. Tonkotsu Miso Ramen
Geneva D.

I was feeling under the weather because of all the changes in temperatures, so I thought a nice warm bowl of ramen would get me back on track. My new favorite spot is in Columbia, but I wasn't feeling up for the drive and I'm out of range for delivery. Of course I search Yelp for the best Miso ramen in my area and Qu Japan had the best reviews. I placed a delivery order for their Tonkotsu Miso Ramen, Chicken Gyoza, and a the steak and chicken Hibachi. Once everything was delivered, I was disappointed to realized their miso both for ramen is the same miso soup they give for the hibachi rice dishes aka, the miso broth is thin and pretty flavorless. The pork was juicy and flavorful, so that made up for the broth not having a lot of depth, but overall that made the dish less then filing. Also, the noodles didn't taste fresh at all. The gyoza were pretty standard. Even though they were pan seared, they didn't have a crunch on them like I was expected. I can't speak for the hibachi entree, because someone else ate it, but I can say that it didn't come with any yum sauce even though it was on the order ticket. Even though it's close, I won't be returning for ramen.

Decided I wanted ramen for lunch and figured why not check out Qu Japan. Who says you have to eat ramen just when it's cold out?? I got the Signature Ramen which has all of the things I love. I waited a few minutes and my order was out in about five minutes. I enjoyed my ramen, it had plenty of all of the various meats and was flavorful. I wish there were the additional seasonings given like at other restaurants to make it spicy but it was still good. I'll definitely come back here next time I'm craving ramen. Happy eating!

6. Tonkotsu Miso Ramen and Matcha Cheesecake
Katie-Ann F.

My badminton team and I (about 14 people) came to this place after our matches. There were enough seats for us that Saturday afternoon, so it wasn't packed at all. The interior was really nice and decorative. They had a ramen menu and a hibachi menu. Employees were kind and welcoming. I got the Tonkotsu Miso Ramen that came with five pieces of cha sui (roasted pork), soft boiled egg, fish cake, bok choy, and bean sprouts. The noodles were cooked nicely Al dente, but broth was VERY bland. I did not taste any tonkatsu richness from it. It seemed like they watered down the broth because miso is very strong, but I couldn't even taste that. The pork was decent as was the egg. I also got their matcha cheesecake for dessert. It had a good matcha flavor which I was surprised. But it was overly sweet and tasted a lot like white chocolate for some reason. Overall, I didn't think this meal was worth $18. I was disappointed at the broth's blandness, but the amount of meat was good. I probably wouldn't come back here again.

We started with the sashimi appetizer for $12. There were 6 large pieces...salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. All fresh and very very good. The wasabi was even of high quality. The sushi rolls were pick any 2 for $13. Absolutely fantastic rolls. I came in for the volcano bowl and I would come back again for the volcano bowl. I like a spicy broth and this was perfect. The curly noodles were just the right size and they were freshly made. The pork was very high quality and was a great treat. The Akira ramen was not spicy, but was still very tasty. The skinny noodles are wheat noodles, but didn't taste any different from regular noodles. The bento box was very good as well. The chicken was cooked to perfection and the teriyaki sauce was excellent. The waitress was really good and finished the night with some complimentary bites of the mochi. Great night, great food, great people! Compliments to all from the servers to the chefs!

Easy access to a garage that's just around the corner because it is on a very busy street. So garage parking is a must. I don't believe they have been open too long as they are still working on their liquor license. Very cute restaurant nice and tidy but a lot of personality in a small space. I was greeted when I walked in and since I was by myself I opted to sit at the sushi bar area. I forgot to take a picture of my food when I came out because I was so hungry...but the rolls were delicious and fresh. I also took some ramen home and I loved how they packaged everything up for me. I would give them a 3.75 stars because I wish they offered more ramen like beef and with the chicken broth not chicken that's fried. As the chicken was soggy and not eatable when I got home even though it was separated from the ramen. I would give them another try if I'm in the area to try more rolls and their alcohol selection.

We came on a weekend ($34/per person) and opted for the additional ramen add-on ($3.50/per person), and all you can drink from a choice of 3 drinks ($10/per person). The appetizers were also included in the AYCE (takoyaki, gyoza, karaage, seafood pancake, edamame, corn cheese etc). The servings were good sizes so you can try other proteins. The ramen in my opinion was decent/average: I would only recommend it if you're craving ramen and there's nothing else in the area. One cocktail I tried was not good, and I waited for it to be watered down to be drinkable so I stuck with the Sapporo. You can only order 4 different meats at a time, and can only order with the staff. There is a self serve station of sauces and sides, including fried rice, seafood boil, fries and more. They have a small private parking lot, and there is some street parking next to the private lot. They also have K-pop music videos playing on their TVs. Their tables only hold 6 people so if you have a bigger group, you will be split up. Their menu is on a QR code.

This place really surprised me. After living in China for 5 years there are certain goods that I…read moremiss. Good noodles is one of them. I had high hopes since the menu includes intestines and other items that clearly are not meant for white customers. I am very happy to have a very tasty Chinese restaurant close to me. Dry pork noodles: These were the best IMO. Nice and spicy, with great flavors all around. I suggest getting the pork chop (add on) since there is not a lot of meat that comes with the dish normally. Beef noodle soup: Tasted very authentic and had a great broth. Thin slices of beef reminded me of real Chinese noodle soups. Spicy dry chicken noodles; Very similar to the pork noodles. What I really enjoy is that these are actually spicy dishes! I never had to add chili sauce!! Pork and chive dumplings: These were solid. The sesame dipping sauce is fine, but a mixture of Chinese vinegar (you rarely find this!) and chili sauce are good compliments. Cucumbers: These were more garlic-y then what I had in China, but are still good. Adding a little Chinese vinegar to them really takes them up a notch.

The noodles had an excellent texture, and the broth was rich, robust, and incredibly comforting. I'll definitely be coming back, and I'll be recommending this place to anyone who asks for a great spot to eat.
