Fried oysters

Service was great. Was greeted immediately as we entered the door. Food is fresh and hot. Will be coming here more often

This place is very cute. Calm and inviting atmosphere. The man taking orders and payment is very friendly and nice! Was not very busy when we came in around 7pm on a Thursday evening. All their ramens come with Boba milk tea which is fun! Takoyaki was delicious! The shrimp ramen was very good. My boyfriend liked the seafood ramen but wasn't expecting to have to de-shell the shrimp and mussels. Note that if u order it.

I saw the high reviews for this place and saw the even greater prices for this place so I knew I had to check it out. I ordered from here using GrubHub via delivery and I ordered a tonkotsu ramen (with spicy spread on the side) -- they also MADE you choose a rice as an extra which I thought was a little strange but I didn't let it bother me. I got the fried rice. I also got a side of the chicken karaage. The tonkotsu ramen was also supposed to come with boba tea according to the menu, but I didn't receive that... I also didn't get the spicy spread that I placed in the order. The tonkotsu ramen was okay. Nothing special.. It didn't taste the most authentic and I was disappointed that they didn't have bamboo shoots in the ramen. The meat in the ramen was great but didn't have too much seasoning. I wish the broth had a little more flavor, but it wasn't a bad ramen. I think the value price justifies the quality of the ramen. The chicken karaage was also decent, but it wasn't anything too crazy. I also ordered this to-go, so it wasn't as crispy as I'd like it to be. It was okay but I also wish they served a dipping sauce for the dish. I ended up making my own spicy mayo with kewpie mayo (Japanese mayo), Buldak sauce and agave. Overall - this place is a value place. Don't come having high expectations, but it's definitely cheap for a meal especially in the time of inflation we're living in.

Yum! This ramen is amazing name, the spicy paste fits perfectly with the broth. The pork was also very tender , and the egg was perfect. We will definitely be returning. Service was pretty good, they forgot our egg but then brought it over to the table. On their menu you can see That you get a Dollar boba if you purchase any ramen ramen, it is only there a original milk tea and they do not have dairy free alternatives. We thoroughly enjoyed the food and with the food and would recommend this Roman place for the Arlington area

F1. Chicken Fried Rice
Allison A.

Deeelishhhh! Forgot to take a picture of the dumplings (order of 8), but they were phenomenal!!!! Especially the sauce that comes with the order. The shrimp ramen was alrighttt. I'd probably come back for the dumplings and the fried rice, and not to mention the service was awesome! Very kind staff and all smiles! The chicken fried rice reminded me of some brown rice I used to have when I was a child from a Chinese restaurant that closed down years ago and I haven't been able to find anything similar since. I'm so happy to have found a spot for the most perfect fried rice!! I loveee the soy sauce in it.

It's 5:27pm, still not open. This happens often. No passion.

For the 10th or 11th time they aren't open during their posted hours. I got here at 5pm excited about ramen, left at 5:30 and they still still haven't opened. The only reason I will even give it 2 stars is, because the food is really good. But the lack of respect for their customers time is just astonishing. People have agendas that do not include waiting to patronize an establishments where the management can't tell time.. They have lost a customer, I will never be back. Go anywhere else.

Vegan ramen with miso
David W.

I'll give them 5 stars. I like the guy taking our order. Very Friendly and helpful. Nice place. They give you bubble tea with an order of ramen. I liked my meal. Great ramen

The special posted outside that don't honor.

The service was mediocre. The ramen was okay. I ordered R1, pork broth and the meat were unseasoned. We also ordered the seafood ramen which was slightly better. The portions are generous size. They have a huge sign outside says buy one get one. We went in during Tuesday Lunch and the waitress said "that's old, stopped doing that in August".

R1. Tonkotsu Ramen

I found my new ramen place! I just recently started eating ramen again and I saw this place had good reviews so I had to stop by! First of all, I personally have never been to any ramen place that automatically gives you boba with your ramen! And as a boba lover this made me give them extra points! My ramen was very tasty and I ordered some spicy sauce on the side for an extra .50 cents -- totally worth it if you're a spicy lover like myself! I came right before lunch around 11:50pm and I was happy to see there was only a couple people there. I'm not sure how busy this place gets but I was glad I didn't encounter a rush. Definitely will be back

Kaarage Combo
John S.

An absolutely great place to quench your ramen cravings! Tasty broth with a generous serving of noodles! I didn't have to order an extra side of it! The combo plates are delicious and will definitely fill you up! Just see for yourself on the pics I added!!!

Trying a new place
Marvella C.

New place and it's very clean. There was a slight language barrier when ordering but the lady was very nice and we turned together to understand each other. While the Ramen was a 3... I like more depth in my broth the fried rice was AWESOME! I mean it was exceptionally delicious with all ingredients being fresh and a generous amount of shrimp. I will definitely visit again.

There's a rule us Asians use to quickly filter out Asian restaurants that may not be good: who are…read morethe majority of folks who are eating inside and who are the chef/cooks? This place didn't pass that test and it may be the only time in history where it proved me so wrong. When we were served the karage chicken with what appeared to be plain mayo I was seriously doubting my choice. It all changed when the ramen came out. This place is legit. They took the time to master their craft and they pay respect to what a proper bowl of ramen is. We both went for the spicy black garlic tonkatsu with differing spice levels; mild and reaper (+$1). Let's start with that -- typically all you pay for is a glob of chill oil that may or may not be spicy. This was not the case here, it added serious heat without altering the flavor. The black garlic was not burnt. The ramen had depth and umami, but could have been a but more seasoned. Eggs were cooked well and still jammy. If im ever in the area i'd be back.

I had the straight noodles instead of the curly/thicker noodles and honestly if I even come back to this restaurant I'll have to try the curly since I don't think Kintaro does their straight noodles well. Too soft and too "spaghetti" like. Hands down, the only place that does the straight noodles right is Jinya Ramen. But even so, I wasn't too fond of the broth or texture of the chashu here. Overall, the atmosphere is great. You have the option to self-order and the portions are large. Staff was friendly and nonetheless my friend and I had a great time. But unless I'm coming back here with someone who wants to eat here, I don't see myself actively choosing to be back at this spot over other ramen places anytime soon.

That was 3 years ago though, and as of recent I came back to this place after a friend suggested we could give it another shot. I must say, while expectations are low, I was far more impressed than I thought. This place is a bit bigger than neighboring ramen spots, and our server was so interactive, funny and friendly. I like that she actually holds a conversation between me and my friend, in terms of sake recommendations, and being honest on what type of noodles she prefers (I asked her if their straight noodles are good or if I should go for the curly, and she gave me her honest opinion on both, so I went for curly.) She was able to also assist my friend in choosing a better appetizer. I love the bigger variety of drink options, from alcohol to boba milk teas. The curly noodles in the Tonkotsu Ramen was awesome, and the meat's so soft and delicious. My only qualm is that the broth to noodles ratio is a little off; too much broth and it's more watery than other broths I've tasted. Nonetheless, my experience back here went well, and I can definitely see myself coming back here with friends.

I wasn't a fan of the red bean fish, but my friend loved them and ate both! We loved the atmosphere and design of the restaurant. We thought the vibe was very bright and lively. Our servers were both great and super helpful. We enjoyed our time greatly.

My boyfriend already had an idea of what to order before we even seated. He has never ordered the Cánh Gà Chiên Nước Mắm (fried chicken wing sauce) and did so today to share with me! We also ordered the Bánh Xèo (Vietnamese pancakes) and one Café Sữa Đá (iced milk coffee) since we were going to need a caffeine fix. We were informed it would take around 20 to 25 minutes for the fried chicken wings because it takes time to make them fresh per order. Even though we were starving at this point, we didn't mind waiting since we really wanted to try them. It was worth the wait because they were hot and delicious. Maybe even my favorite to this day compared to other fish sauce wings I have tried. Also, there were A LOT of wings. I was truly surprised even though it was pricy. The Bánh Xèo was cripsy, just the way I like it! The restaurant is very spacious. It can fit large groups and many groups at a time. Customer service was good and really attentative to our needs.
