    This is one of the newer ramen spots in the area. We dined here as a family and felt that Sanchome offers a unique dining experience that felt inspired by Japan. Ordering is done entirely through a tablet at your table, and the staff brings the food directly to you. When paying, there's no tipping expected, which aligns with Japanese dining customs and keeps the experience straightforward, although I did feel like the prices made up for it. The ramen itself was decent, but the broth wasn't served hot and more on the lukewarm side, which took away from the overall experience. For a dish where temperature plays such an important role, I expected it to arrive hotter. The menu has a variety of ramen, donburi, and a couple of apps (gyoza, edamame, chicken karaage). Service was friendly throughout the meal. It's in a strip mall in Centreville and located right next to Paris Baguette.

    This is a new ramen shop that just opened where you can order on a tablet and tipping is not required. I got their signature Sanchome ramen set that came with a small gyudon to pair with the ramen. This is a tonkotsu based broth that had a nice umami flavor. The spicy buta added a nice little flavor kick to the ramen. Gyudon was also pretty good but nothing amazing. Solid ramen spot if you are in the area!

    I came here on my birthday yesterday after shooting my hunting bow at the nearby IWLA ARL-FFX Chapter. It wasn't bad at all! The menu is a bit limited but is straight to the point. I got the Tonkotsu Shotyu Ramen (no bean sprouts, no green onion, add corn, and extra ramen egg) and it was incredible. The chasu was a good a bit fatty but it's pork what do you expect but the meat to fat ratio was solid. The broth was incredible, a great taste that I felt compelled to sip the remaining broth out the bowl after all the food in it was gone! Also this place has a "no tipping" policy. Which makes sense considering in Japan tipping at a restaurant is looked down upon.

    The ramen here is a worthy homage to ramen in Japan, delicious and authentically flavored. I also really enjoyed how they had tablets at each table for ordering and payment and the fact that tips are not expected. Would 100% recommend checking this place out!

    There was a wait for dinner when we walked in, but understandably since there isn't a ton of seating in there. You order from a very limited menu on an iPad at the table which makes it quick and easy. Prices are higher because you don't tip here. Our food took very long though and everyone was starving. I only snapped a photo of the first dish that came out because once the food arrived we dug in since we were so hungry. I did not think the ramen here was all that great. IMO, it taste a bit bland so I added a bit of the spicy buta which helped a little. The broth is just missing the rich umami flavor.

    I loved hakata ramen (thin noodles) and this was the best I've had in the DMV area! Authentic flavors in the broth with great toppings and loved the thin noodles. My mom was craving karage and she said it reminded her of Japan! My only note is that it had way too much bean sprouts for my liking and I will probably ask for a little less (it was in every bite). Can't wait to be back! And to top it off - similar to Japan, it's a NO tipping system :)

    There are several new ramen spots in Centreville and we decided to give this one a try. We went for lunch on a Sunday and the restaurant was pretty packed. Order from an iPad and though the prices seem high, tip is included. The staff is very pleasant though the ramen was not our favorite. We were one of the the first several tables before the rush began, but it still took almost 25 minutes for our ramen to deliver. The flavor is okay though nothing out of this world. The noodles are average to us - we like our noodles cooked more firm and these just texture wise end up more soggy. Still a decent option to have in this immediate area, without venturing closer to DC.

    The food was so far one of the best ramen spots we had in DMV area. This ramen is from Fukuoka so the broth is leaning towards creamy and the noodles is thin. We love thin noodles! The broth is not as rich as am used to but still good. The gyu don was also good, we would come back for a bowl and trying the hakata ramen. The service is the same in Japan, you have a tablet or machine who will take your order and then someone will deliver it. And also No TIP! for embracing the food, atmosphere, and the culture! The price is right for what you are getting. Note that their noodles are all freshly made no frozen ones. Then people are so nice. It is in the strip mall so you have shared parking. Overall experience was good!

    In return for the spirit of Japanese hospitality, we emptied our bowls of delicious ramen. The concept of no tipping works well with the interactive iPad display at the table to order along with wait staff available to answer quick questions. I ordered the pick two option with a classic Sanchome ramen and the gyudon rice option. Richer and less oily broth stood out to me with fresh, thinner ramen noodles; spicy pickled side dish. Tried the Kara Kara ramen which definitely had a spicier broth with the spicier buta pork. Luckily, I didn't order it as I would have had to down a few beers and not drinking that much right now. Although, I noticed they had premium Japanese beers such as Orion. Tables were on small side especially with a display attached to the table. Clean and warm wooden styled decor provided a good ambiance with music that's not too loud. Place was consistently packed through the night with not too many people waiting as the operation seemed pretty efficient. Liked that no one came to your table to ask if you wanted anything else so you don't feel rushed to leave especially if you're not ordering more food or drinks later. When you're ready to pay, you just go to the counter by the ramen bar to pay. Will have to sit at the ramen bar next time as watching chefs make ramen always adds to the vibe and anticipation of a umami bowl of ramen especially on a cold, rainy night.

    Craving some Japanese ramen, and this place seemed like a good spot nearby! The Food: Went with the Sanchome Ramen for my meal. They had a pick two option, so my meal came with a side of Gyudon. The broth was very flavorful and rich. The ramen was cooked very nicely and portions were just right. The only gripe I have from my bowl was that the pork chashu was a little more tough than I'd like. I was hoping for the melt in your mouth texture, but that wasn't it al all. Other than that, everything else about the bowl was good. The Service: Service is FCFS I believe. There are screens at each table and you pretty much order off of that. They are fairly fast with getting meals out too, so i had no complaints at all here. They also don't accept tip, so what you get is what you pay for. The Atmosphere: Plenty of seating available. The restaurant is nice and clean as well. Overall, a 4/5. Definitely recommend giving this spot a try. I'll be back again for sure.

    We went to Sanchome more than a month ago to try this newly-opened "no-tipping" ramen restaurant. The place is a little crowded but we were able to snag a table. Each table has a tablet where you can pick orders and someone will bring the orders to your table. We ordered gyoza and karaage for appetizers. The gyoza was delicious but the karaage tasted off - it wasn't crispy like the chicken karaage I'm used to ordering. I ordered Sanchome Ramen and my date ordered a Veggie Ramen and Gyudon combo. I wish I knew that Sanchome Ramen is a little spicy because I could have ordered something else. The broth was good but I really wasn't expecting that it would be spicy. I wish I read the menu more closely. The rice and ramen combo was good too but it wasn't anything fantastic. Regarding the price, each ramen bowl is priced slightly more expensive than the regular ramen because it covers the tip. The place was okay - the staff was helpful. I wish I had a better experience.

    The food here is so so so good. It came out quickly and everything was so fresh. I can't wait to come back to try other things! Decent amount of seating and easy parking as well.

    I was craving some authentic Japanese ramen after my recent trip to Japan and this place seemed to meet some of those details I was looking for! I believe this restaurant opened recently, less than 6 months ago. This place is FCFS only and can run out of specific ramen depending on the night. There's ample seating in this place, along with some bar seats as well. We walked in around 7 on a Saturday night and were lucky enough to score the last open table! I opted for their Sanchome ramen in their pork tonkotsu broth - comes with all the traditional fixings along with a seasoned egg. I would give the ramen field a 8.5/10. The flavor was good, but not as rich as I would have liked it to be. The seasoned egg was very tasty though and the chashu was also good. Their surprise of the night to me was their side order of pork belly and rice - this was packed with flavor and very juicy - almost wanted a little bit more rice to balance the richness of the pork. Service was friendly and food came out in a timely manner. I would come back again to their other ramen options. Their pricing seemed pretty fair, esp with the type or cuisine they were serving. SN: there's no tipping here! Yay!

No one greeted or welcomed us, and the server was extremely unprofessional. To make matters worse, staff members were gossiping about us in front of other customers, which was very disrespectful and uncomfortable. Although tipping is optional, we still left a generous tip. Instead of appreciating it, the server questioned the amount and displayed a poor attitude. Customer service like this is completely unacceptable. I would never go back here. Save your money and choose a place that values its customers!!!

    VERY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE . We originally made a…read morereservation for six people, but two members of our party couldn't make it because they stayed home to watch the World Cup. We informed the staff as soon as we arrived that only four of us would be dining in, and we would still be ordering one meal to go. From the beginning, the service felt cold and unwelcoming. The staff seemed more interested in talking among themselves than checking on our table. While other tables received regular attention, we were largely ignored throughout the meal. The most upsetting part happened when we paid. We left a 12% tip based on the service we received. After seeing the receipt, the waiter questioned the tip amount in a mocking and disrespectful tone. This was completely unprofessional and made us feel uncomfortable. Shortly afterward, he abruptly removed a bowl from the table and nearly hit my sister in the face, without offering any apology. To make matters worse, we observed the waiter speaking with other customers while repeatedly looking and pointing toward us. Although we could not hear the entire conversation, the behavior made us feel very disrespected. What stood out most was the lack of professionalism and basic courtesy. Good service earns good tips, but respect for customers should be expected regardless of the tip amount. Unfortunately, the overall experience left a very negative impression on our group. Again, what disappointed me most was the apparent lack of professionalism and respect shown toward customers. Tipping should be based on the quality of service provided, not something customers are pressured or shamed into giving. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, and I would not return or recommend this restaurant.
