    Fish filet with chilis and  Reren Signature Lamen
    Nik W.

    Staff were kind and helpful. Small place with a single stall bathroom and most tables were full in the evening but we were still seated quickly. The fish was really tasty, definitely recommend an extra order of rice to go with. As for the noodles, I think there are other places with tastier broth that I might go to first, but in a pinch this is a fair choice.

    Such a lovely restaurant in Georgetown. I popped in on a cold day to have a ramen soup and it didn't disappoint. The Kung Fu ramen was absolutely incredible. Huge portions, a lot of meat. The meat was so tender and flavorful. The service was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend if you're in the area and especially on a cold day!

    6 Piece Shanghai Wonton Soup

    This is such a cute place! My mom and wanted a quick bite to eat before a movie. And because it was so cold outside, dumplings and soup sounded perfect. And it was!! From the outside, Reren doesn't look like much. But once you go upstairs into the restaurant, it's very cute and sophisticated. We shared the chicken dumpling appetizer and each got a bowl of wonton soup - both were absolutely delicious! Our waitress was friendly and service was pretty quick (although there was only us and one other table there at the time). I'll happily come back here again!

    Veggie Lamen
    April G.

    This place is an absolute gem. The Lamen was incredible with chewy noodles, meaty mushrooms, and delicious broth. This feels like an authentic spot rather than a "designed" restaurant. The ambiance is chill and cozy. Of all the amazing places we tried on this trip, this is top of my list to return to.

    Lemongrass Pork Chop

    Stopped for lunch before my flight, but I wasn't super hungry. I picked the lemongrass pork chop and it was crispy and thin. I kinda wish there was a dipping sauce. Overall, I enjoyed it and the server was very nice.

    Easily accessible location close to the downtown capitol corridor in the heart of Chinatown. Small inside, but a sit-down bar area along with regular style tables. Nothing fancy, but serviceable along with fast and efficient serving staff. My wife and daughter each started out with bubble tea and we shared a salty bowl of edamame that was cooked perfectly. Next we slurped down a dish of xiao long bao (soup dumplings) that were piping hot and delicious. For main dishes, we shared both a Singapore style baby back rib tips and an order of General Tso's bourbon chicken. The rib tips were of a sweet-n-sour nature and their gooey sticky sauce paired well with the traditional sticky rice served alongside. The General Tso's was a generous portion of chunked fried chicken with a sauce slightly more savory than normal due to the bourbon glaze. We very much enjoyed both. Glad we made the trek over to Chinatown and this specific spot. Would definitely return here.

    Dandan Noodles
    Angel P.

    There isn't many Asian restaurants in Georgetown so we decided to go to Reren. I've tried their Chinatown location years ago, however maybe it's this location or my memory is wrong, but I thought the food was average/ok at most. We shared the taiwan style popcorn chicken and I got the dandan noodles and passion boba passion. The popcorn chicken was ok, slightly dry, could be crispier, and needed more flavor. The dandan noodles wasn't spicy or even slightly spicy, and lacked flavor. The drink was ok, but I wouldn't get it again. Reren is on the second floor so you will need to go up a flight of stairs, and there is a few steps up to the entrance door. There is one all gender bathroom.

    Chicken Soup Dumplings with Taiwanese Fried Chicken and Fries
    Samina M.

    Reren is an adorable spot in Georgetown delicious ramen and soup dumplings! Fun fact, even Tim Cook has stopped by! The ambiance is a row-house style restaurant that is a boba shop on the first floor and restaurant on the upper floor. Popped into dinner here with a friend on a cold night and enjoyed their happy hour deal of Taiwanese style fried chicken and fries. On the side, we got chicken soup dumplings. This was a delicious combination! The chicken and fries were fresh and flavorful - I specifically appreciated the yum-yum style sauce on top. The soup dumplings were juicy and perfectly meaty. The service was super accommodating with our waitress consistently making sure we understood the menu and were satisfied. Would definitely come back to Reren!

    A True Hidden Gem in Georgetown! This place is hands-down one of the best finds in Georgetown. Not only do they offer some of the best prices in the area, but the food is also incredibly authentic and delicious. The soup dumplings are a standout -- delicate thin skin, bursting with flavorful broth. The noodle soups are always my go-to comfort food. Honestly, even when I come to Georgetown alone, I make a special stop here just for their beef noodle soup -- it's that good! If you're craving real Chinese flavors without the Georgetown price tag, this spot is a must-try.

    Stumbled into Reren on a cold night before a Wizards game. It was great for convenience of location and warming us up, but the food was average. We ordered the soup dumplings, bao buns and edamame to start. All three were good, but nothing overly memorable. For entrees, my husband got the General Tso's Bourbon Chicken - which he LOVED. This was the best thing we ordered, by far. I ordered the Reren Signature Lamen, which I was honestly a bit disappointed by. It lacked flavor and was just mediocre. The staff was very attentive and kind and the ambiance was cute and cozy. Overall, it was a good experience, though I will most likely not return.

    If you're in DC and craving amazing dumplings, Reren Lamen Bar is a must. The food was seriously delicious -- every bite of the dumplings was packed with flavor, and their noodles were just as impressive. The all-day happy hour is a total win, with $3 beers that make it easy to settle in and stay a while. That said, they only had one waiter when we went, so service was a bit slow -- but honestly, the food more than made up for it. If you're not in a rush, it's 100% worth the wait. Great flavors, chill vibe, and you can't beat the prices during happy hour. I'll definitely be back.

    Scallion pancakes and cucumber salad
    Groovefit G.

    Had lunch at Reren after a long walk around the Mall with my sis. It was the perfect treat! Pancakes scallions 10/10 they were crispy and flaky and very flavorful. Cucumbers salad was the right balance of acidic and light spice. The soup dumplings were comforting in a cold day. We rounded it off with pork belly bao buns - would've loved a little char on the edges, but the flavor was spot on. Ambiance is chill and the service friendly. We'll definitely be back.

    Cucumbers

    Dumplings were good however the cucumbers were not worth the money. Overall not a bad pick but cucumbers were not worth 8 dollars.

    Daikaya Ramen is an unassuming spot serving some seriously flavorful ramen in DC. If you're a ramen…read morelover, this place is definitely worth seeking out. We ordered the Spicy Miso with the spice bomb and egg, along with the veggie ramen with spice bomb. The Spicy Miso was the clear winner--easily one of the most flavorful ramen bowls I've had, with just the right kick and incredible depth. The veggie ramen was also excellent and a great option for vegetarians. We also tried the gyoza, spring rolls, and Sapporo beer. For dessert, we ordered the black sesame ice cream, but the ramen portions were so generous that we were too full to finish it! Service was quick, attentive, and efficient. The atmosphere is exactly what you'd want from a Japanese ramen spot--casual, lively, and unassuming. The food felt authentic and the flavors really stood out. They also have an izakaya upstairs, which we unfortunately didn't get a chance to try. Definitely saving that for the next visit!

    Let me start by saying I recently visited Daikaya on Monday, August 3, 2026, and unfortunately the…read moreservice that day was disappointing. I gave that particular visit 1 out of 5 stars. However, I also want to mention that Daikaya is one of my family's favorite ramen spots, so we were genuinely surprised by the experience because it has always been much better in the past. When we arrived, we were told that our entire party had to be present before we could be seated, which we understood. We also know that seating is first come, first served. In the past, we've been able to sit in a booth with two people, but this time we were informed that booths were reserved for parties of three or more. It was a little frustrating because the restaurant was slow at the time, and my wife politely explained that we would likely be finished before the dinner rush. Even so, we respected the policy and waited until a seat became available. I do want to give Terry a shoutout because he was very kind and professional. I explained that I couldn't sit at the bar due to my foot, and he was understanding. However, when he relayed that information to another employee, I immediately noticed a change in the other gentleman's body language and attitude. He seemed irritated about having to seat us. Once we were seated, the interaction only became more uncomfortable. He slammed our cups onto the table, and when I asked for a straw, he didn't hand it to me--he simply placed it down without saying much. There were several other small interactions throughout our meal that made us feel unwelcome. It reached the point where we decided we'd rather leave, so we flagged Terry down, asked for to-go containers, and requested the check. During our visit, I also noticed a party of four seat themselves and grab their own menus while both servers had their backs turned at the bar. When the same gentleman approached them, his demeanor was completely different. He was pleasant, took their order right away, and their food came out promptly. Watching that interaction made our experience feel even more disappointing. The food, thankfully, was excellent as always. That's one thing Daikaya continues to get right. I also noticed that none of the staff members we're used to seeing--who have always been warm, welcoming, and respectful--were working that day. Overall, this visit was a rare disappointment because the customer service simply wasn't up to the standard we've experienced over the years. While this particular experience deserves a low rating, I also want to acknowledge that every previous visit has been excellent. I'm hoping this was just an off day because Daikaya has consistently been one of our favorite places for ramen.

I found Toryumon while looking for dinner before a show at DAR Constitution Hall, and it has quickly become one of my favorite sushi values in the city. The restaurant is tucked away in a basement space with little visibility from the street beyond its signage, but downstairs is a sushi lover's paradise. The all you can eat menu is stacked with creative specialty rolls, appetizers, nigiri, and ramen. The biggest surprise is the availability of premium ingredients rarely included at this price, such as hotate scallops and sweet shrimp. On our most recent Sunday visit, our group of four ordered around half a dozen rolls and more than 20 pieces of nigiri. Everything was fresh, and the classic tuna and yellowtail scallion rolls had an excellent fish to rice ratio of about 80 percent fish to 20 percent rice. One sleeper appetizer worth ordering is the wasabi dusted french fries, which we kept munching on as a palate cleanser between rounds of sushi. A word of caution before going wild with the order sheet. The specialty rolls are huge, and the nigiri can be rice heavy, so it is very easy to overorder. You also have a strict 90 minute window beginning with your first order. When the restaurant is busy, the sushi bar can become overwhelmed, so plan carefully and include everything you really want in that first round. At roughly $38 per person after tax, Toryumon offers some of the best bang for your sushi buck in DC.
