So, I have recently dined in, and LOVED IT. BUT was feeling under the weather today a d this stuff helped me out soooo much! Love it, love the menu, even takeout was fantastic. Items separated and Ramen was PEAK! WILL always be going. Back read more

So good! I love spicy ramen and really liked that it wasn't overwhelmingly salty like some ramen spots can be. We ordered all three apps, the edamame, chicken karaage, and gyoza, and everything was delicious. The portions were also perfect for the three of us to share. Sad it's a little far from us, but we'll definitely be back next time we're in C'ville. read more

An introverts dream honestly. The place is very aesthetically pleasing, plenty of seats, and the wait time was minimal for the food to come out. As an introvert, i appreciated how minimal interaction was needed. They motion where to sit, you order through a tablet at the table, then go up to pay when you're ready. The ramen was delicious, well worth the price in my opinion. There are pictures for each item. You can easily exclude the garnishes if you dont like them. I have no complaints, definitely will be back to try the other dishes! read more

Sanchome Ramen - Kara Kara Ramen without bean sprouts/bamboo. - Ramen Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

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. read more

I finally got to go and see what the hype is all about. The hype is legit, and honestly probably needed to turn it up a few notches. At 1 pm on a weekday, you are still escorted to your table. Ordering is done at the table with a tablet, so one can take their time picking out what they want. I got the Sanchome ramen. The noodles were so fresh and the broth was perfect! I mean you can see them making the noodles from your table, so you know it's fresh. I can never finish ramen broth, but finished this one. It was so tasty but not salty, and you still get the bits and pieces of the noodles, eggs, and meat at the bottom of the bowl. read more

Sanchome Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

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. read more

Sanchome Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Sanchome Ramen - Shio Butter Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

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. read more

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! read more

I was so excited to try a new japanese ramen in Centreville! Plenty of seating and a warm, cozy atmosphere inside. Tablets to order on every table. Food: Sanchome ramen- had to try their classic. The meat inside has some seasoning that actually has quite a kick to it, so beware if you have a low spice tolerance 7.5/10 Tonkatsu ramen- good hearty broth, but nothing to write home about 7/10 I will say the amount is plentiful, so I would say it's worth a visit. But I wouldn't say it's my new favorite or go-to spot. read more

The service is straightforward with an iPad at each table and food brought out, with no tipping. They have a good sized menu and combos you can also order so you can have ramen and rice. We tried the combo and also just the ramen on the two times we've been here. The ramen is delicious but beware, the spicy is very spicy! My husband got a run for his money with the flavor and spice. We have found a new favorite here! read more

Sanchome Ramen - Tonkotsu Ramen + chashu bowl - Ramen Near Me - Centreville, Virginia

had a pretty disappointing experience at Sanchome. The prices are high even though tipping isn't required, which already sets expectations higher. Unfortunately, the food didn't deliver. I ordered ramen, buta don, and gyoza, and none of them were tasty or memorable. The flavors didn't feel authentic, and overall it didn't taste like real Japanese food. It honestly felt more like a Korean-style version of Japanese dishes. I wouldn't recommend it, especially for the price. read more

Walking in, you can smell the pork being torched and it made my mouth immediately start watering. We were able to get seated right away for a 6pm weekday dinner for two. The iPad makes ordering quick & easy, especially because there are photos of every item. There's also service buttons to easily hail a waitress or request water or additional utensils, making the experience very seamless for soft spoken customers or during busy times. When the iPad isn't actively in use, it goes into a slideshow that explains history of ramen, the store, that they make their soup and noodles fresh in house daily, and that tipping is not accepted (so I am assuming it's built in and staff wages are paid separately). The atmosphere is cozy. The restaurant is lively but not loud. I ordered the "Pick 2" option where you can pick a full size ramen bowl with a small rice bowl of your choice for only $5 more. This is THE ramen shop for tonkotsu ramen. The soup is thick and so rich! You can taste the umami of the roasted garlic used to make the soup. I drank every drop! The noodles were al dente but enjoyable to eat. The tonkotsu also came with a perfect soy sauce lava egg, a swirl fish cake slice, and pieces of nori. The iPad ordering made it easy to opt out ingredients I didn't want, like bean sprouts, but my dish was missing the bamboo & corn although I didn't opt out of those. The charsu pork was the best part, with a melt in your mouth, torched flavour. The togarashi radish side dish is tasty but we quite spicy! The buta rice dish was very spicy! Proportions were good so we were full but not exploding. My husband got the sanchome ramen which is a spicy tonkotsu and he enjoyed the spice level, however his bowl was also missing bamboo and corn shown in the menu picture. Easily the best ramen in NOVA, but with each bowl at nearly $20, even without having to pay tip it is $45 for 2 people. That 10% Fairfax county restaurant tax is a killer... and for ramen, even though it was amazing, is more of a one-time meal than a place we will frequent because of the high price.

About 1-1.5: Sanchome Ramen is a newer Korean-owned ramen spot that opened up in C-ville - their menu offers various apps, tonkotsu/shio/miso/tsukemen/veggie ramen, and rice bowls. Ordering is easy, as it's via a tablet on your table - we ordered the Chicken Karaage, the Sanchome Ramen, the Tsukemen, and the Gyu Don. The broth was thin and had a weird off flavor to it; the noodles were comparable to rice noodles. The karaage was pretty much over fried and burnt - not sure how they thought this was okay to serve? I've had better eggs, as this also had a strange flavor to it. Note that they don't accept gratuity, but the price points for the meals are much higher than even the steep end of the norm. The super annoying thing about this place is that they have a good number of empty tables available, but they refuse to seat the long line of guests that have checked in - I asked if it there was shortage of staff, and they stated that that wasn't it. Weird. Service was fine - it is recommended for the waitstaff to wear gloves, as they were touching cups, napkins, and the orders with bare hands. Plenty of parking in the plaza lot. +overfried karaage +broths are too thin and have an off taste to them +no gloves worn by waitstaff read more

Checked out this new ramen spot in town during a girls' night out, and it was such a fun find. We arrived around 5:30pm, and although it wasn't busy at first, the place filled up quickly while we were eating -- always a good sign! :) I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken karaage, but everything else was good. I especially loved that they offer a set menu for people like me who want to try a little bit of everything. The ramen was great, very flavorful, but the noodles were the real standout--thin, springy, and cooked just right. I am very picky when it comes to noodles in ramen, and these were genuinely good. They had the perfect texture and held up well in the broth. Ordering is all done through a tablet, which made the whole process super easy and convenient. read more

My brother and I were famished after moving day for him. We decided to eat some ramen to beat the hunger and the cold dmv frigid weather. 20 minutes later after driving we arrived with no reservations (I'm not sure if they take reservations will need to look it up). We sat at the counter an ordered via the iPads stationed at each table/area. The best combo is the gyudon combo with your choice of ramen. It definitely hit the spot. Pretty efficient operation and the pay as you go after brings back the vibes back home in Asia. Definitely a Repeater spot in my book. read more

Ordering food through via tablets was easy. Our screen was a little greasy, so I wish they wiped our screen before we sat down. You pay at the counter at the end of your meal. I really enjoyed the noodles! Not many ramen places make this sort of straight noodles and they are my favorite! They are also made in house. I bought the both to be really rich and flavorful. I don't think I have a low spice tolerance, but the Kara Kara Ramen took me out. My partner said I was red and sweating. It was really good, but I will just stick to the non-spicy ramens next time. Just a heads up, while there is no tipping here, their prices are $2-3 higher than other ramen spots. I hope this business stays! Because I do like their ramen the most in Centreville. read more

Found this place through instagram. They have a no tip policy since tip is already accounted in the meal price and you order everything through the kiosk.

I felt like it didnt have enough savory flavor but I did like the noodle texture. Im glad I tried this place out! read more

New store and it's actually very popular! I came on Friday around like 7 and we had to put our name on a waitlist for about 30 minutes. They should add texting since when you join the waitlist it's just the worker putting your name on her paper clipboard and she'll come to the front of the store to call your name so you can't go that far. The restaurant itself it's quite large and looks pretty clean and modern! You order on the tablet even at the bar seating which I like Sanchome ramen - broth is flavorful and noodles are a great texture! They pick up a lot of flavor too. This feels a bit heavy but flavorful! The pork is too fatty but cooked well. Egg is cooked great and marinated 3/5 Kara Kara ramen - almost the same as Sanchome but much more spicy! I like the thin cuts of pork instead goo 3.25/5 read more

TL;DR: 4.2-4.5/5 stars; SOFT OPENING- Solid food, great service, and cute vibes So happy this place opened up near us! It was a rainy day, so we were craving some soup. This place was in their soft opening, so we decided to give it a try. VIBE: ~The interior is simply decorated but so cute. There are many tables, as well as a ramen bar seating. ~Each section has a tablet where you can order from and the servers bring the food to you. Then you pay at the end at the front. ~~Tablet allows you to order specific items/quantities too (plates, cutlery, napkins, water). Very useful! SERVICE: ~Service was great. So nice, attentive, and quick to help out. ~They promote no tipping! Truly embracing the Japanese culture of high standards for their food and service but not accepting tips - though the service definitely deserved it FOOD: ~Gyoza (4/5): got exactly what I expected. It was fried nicely, and the filling was meaty and well seasoned. Nothing out of this world though. ~Sanchome Ramen (4.5/5): Their signature ramen broth with buta pork (spicy sauced pork). The original broth was very flavorful and umami. The buta pork added a nice kick. ~~Comes with thin ramen noodles that (I think?) are made in house. Usually, I am not a fan of thin ramen noodles because they tend to have a slippery texture, but these were really good. Nice chew too ~~Chashu was solid. Very soft, flavorful, and smoky ~~Personal preference: the broth to noodle ratio was a little off (too many noodles), but you can always order extra broth if you want ~~The egg was so good. ~Buta donburi (mini; 3.9/5): tasted like a Japanese version of jaeyuk bokkeum (korean spicy marinated pork). It was very flavorful and had a nice kick. The pork portion was a little small compared to the rice, but it was still good. ~Tsukemen (4.5/5 - READ): So this dish was tasty, but it was more of a deconstructed ramen. ~~The broth was a pork based (I have only ever had bonito based), and the broth was tasty, but not thick enough for it to cling to the noodles well ~~The noodles came underneath all the additional toppings, which made it hard to eat. Ended up putting the noodles in a separate bowl ~~The noodles for this were a thicker style, and I loved it. But they stuck together a lot. Overall, this place was very solid! If I was craving ramen, this place will definitely hit the spot. read more

The good: Food. We ordered the chicken karage and it came out hot and delicious. I ordered the Sanchome ramen and it was great. My wife ordered the gyudon, also good. They were having issues with my ichiban beer so the manager or owner was nice enough to give me a different beer for the same price. The bad: walked in and the staff was on their phone. Not a big deal for me since we were the first customers and didn't have to wait, just something to consider. I thought it a little strange to receive our ordered beverages after receiving our appetizer, I'm use to receiving the beverages first. Not sure if that was a choice or not but it stuck out to me. My wife normally likes chilli powder with her gyudon but when we asked for it, there seemed to be confusion because we received Korean pepper flakes. One is used for the dish while the other is mainly used to cook with. All said, not enough to ruin my experience. The food is still good and the staff can always improve. I still look to come back and explore their menu, staff just needs a little extra training read more

The gyudon was pretty tasty with the beef, onions, sauce, and rice! It came with a side of salad and soup as well. The salad was just your average shredded cabbage and dressing. I will say the pork soup was so awful... it tasted very watery with no flavor and had some strange taste to it. There was also a thin film that formed on top that I had to pick off. They didn't have any gluten free items available so my friend could only order edamame and rice. The workers were friendly but they never checked on us once while eating. It's a no tipping establishment but the high prices pretty much make up for it. The place was spacious and seemed clean. I don't think I'll come back even to try the ramen. There are definitely better Japanese places in the area. read more

For the appetizer, the chicken karaage came out cold and had too much breading.

Sanchome Ramen in Centreville, VA is a decent and convenient ramen spot, but it may not fully satisfy those looking for a more traditional or intense ramen experience. The restaurant is located in Centrewood Plaza with plenty of parking, making it easy to visit. Ordering is done through a tablet system at each table, with payment handled at the front. The waitresses are friendly and polite, and the overall process is smooth and efficient. Food-wise, the broth is light and mild, neither thick nor deeply intense. If you're accustomed to richer, more umami-forward ramen, this may feel a bit flat. The house-made noodles are extremely thin, closer to thick vermicelli, and tend toward a soft, slightly gluey texture rather than the chewy, springy bite many expect from ramen noodles. The extra spicy option was underwhelming--rather than spice being cooked into the broth, it was provided as a small cup of paprika on the side, which didn't add much heat or depth. Overall, Sanchome Ramen is good but not memorable. It's friendly, clean, and convenient, but the lighter broth and noodle texture keep it from standing out. Worth trying if you're nearby, though ramen enthusiasts may prefer stronger-flavored options elsewhere. read more

The self-service kiosks were convenient when it came to ordering but it was a little confusing walking in. There was no host to greet us and after waiting for a minute we went ahead and seated ourselves. Apparently, we had skipped the line unknowingly because there was no signage about whether to seat yourself or wait but they let us stay at our table anyway. The ramen itself was okay, though not the best I've had and the lack of more diverse beverages made the options feel a bit bland. All in all, I probably won't go back to this location because I've had better ramen elsewhere. But if you're looking for an overall good experience, you may like this spot. read more

I think if you set up a ramen shop in the middle of centreville you must know what you are doing. That being said, this is a top ramen place in the dmv. The place is small and you order on the tablets and they have a rule of no tipping. The limited menu shows that they know what they are doing and I got the Tonkotsu shoyu ramen. I would much rather have the pork chasu than the buta but my mistake was not getting it spicy so I would probably try the kara kara next time. The portion could have been a little larger but overall still a great ramen place. read more

The noodles are supposed to be made on premises and while they were good, I felt like the broth was the real hero here. The tonkatsu broth was milky and smooth with not much oil or grease.

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. The restaurant itself is pretty big with ample amounts of seating. The ambiance really did feel like Japan, super cozy. You order your food on the tablets attached to the table, which was pretty easy to work. We did have to wait a bit for our food to arrive (but it was pretty crowded so might be just lots of orders at once). We got a chicken broth ramen and their sanchome ramen with pork broth, both were so delicious and you could tell all the ingredients were so fresh. There's not a million toppings or any crazy different flavors, but I think that adds to the authenticity of the ramen. Would definitely go again! read more

The bottom line is that your experience here will vary. I have many friends who tell me their experience of the ramen here wasn't good. The first time I came, they had a sign-up saying they ran out of ramen and were closed for the weekend. I did enjoy the ramen when I finally made it back here. The texture of the ramen was good. The broth, however, was way too rich for me to be able to finish. I ordered extra chilli and dumped it all in it. Only then was it bearable. The store decoration was okay. The lanterns speak Japanese for sure. The ordering was by a tablet, so there's not a lot of chance to interact with the staff. read more
