Kyuramen- Falls Church

From the moment you walk in, the warm wood interiors and cozy Japanese aesthetic set the tone for a great experience. Everything feels intentional, from the plating to the pacing of the meal, it’s the kind of place that makes dining feel special without being pretentious. The food is outstanding. The ramen broths are rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly simmered with care. The chashu pork is melt-in-your-mouth tender, the noodles have the perfect bite, and the soft-boiled eggs are flawless. We also tried several small plates and baos, and every single one was beautifully presented and delicious—crispy, fresh, and perfectly seasoned. The Japanese fries was also a hit. Dessert was just as memorable. We had the chilled cherry blossom jelly dessert which was light, refreshing, and a perfect way to end the meal. We also tried the matcha pudding which was creamy and well balanced. Service was friendly, attentive, and efficient without feeling rushed. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they serve. We particularly like the seating options - inside a honeycomb booth, private curtained booth, or in the open dining area. This time we had the curtained booth and enjoyed it thoroughly. Kyuramen Falls Church delivers on flavor, atmosphere, and consistency. A fun option for ramen fans or just a bunch of friends looking for a great dining spot. A place that’s absolutely worth a visit…and a repeat visit at that.

there are better Japanese ramen places in this area tldr: food took a long time, food does not match the pictures in the menu, tasted mid we got the new beef ramen, spicy tonkatsu (not in pics) chicken curry katsu, and pork katsu w omurice. 1. the ramens arrived first, then maybe 7 min for the chicken katsu, and another 5 min for pork notice (felt longer) 2. just look at the pics for the food 😭 don’t look at pics on the menu 3. the food is so mid. the chicken katsu plate is mid to bad. unseasoned popcorn chicken bland tasting chicken katsu with some steamed broccoli. ramens were ok. there wasn’t enough broth. broth to noodle ratio was off. and the matcha pudding, came with like a tbsp or two of milk.😀 interesting choice but the pudding itself was actually quite good. overall definitely overpriced for what u get 4. we were kind of pissed off by the family behind us, the kids kicking the seats constantly even though we told the worker and the worker told them to kindly not do that so maybe that ruined the experience for us this place was hyped for the interior and I was so excited to try it and now I’m glad I did so I can not come back

I had high expectations of this place due to the reviews and the photos but unfortunately it's all glitter and no substance. I went there on lunch time on weekend but it wasn't busy (which was first red flag) and the servers were courteous at first but then barely pays attention to you and I had to remind them multiple times to get my orders right. The food came out relatively quick and it looks good but there was almost no flavor. I had to put the shichimi to enhance the flavor. I wish there was garlic or salt. The katsu was seasoned but because all of the sauce was needed for the omurice, I had to dip the katsu into curry/egg mix and it wasn't great. After paying for the meal, I had to wait over 5 min for premade desert (Sakura jelly) which was the best of the meal. It was not too sweet and refreshing. To be honest, I was about to come back here as a potential date spot but due to all these negatives, I cannot recommend it unless the company fix these issues.

Me and my husband love ramen and Kyuramen is fantastic. Such a cozy place. We’ve visited twice now however I wish we could go more, but it’s a bit far from home, but it’s worth the drive. We never have to wait long for the food and they’re delicious! 🤤 even just writing this review making me crave some more.

Lovely decor here! I think Kyuramen stands out when it comes to their decorations and how they have seating shaped like a honeycomb. Parking is free at the Founders Row Parking Garage if you use the kyuramen validation code located near their entrance. We came on a Friday around lunchtime and there were few customers around so we got seated quickly. The Takoyaki Octopus Balls were flavorful and freshly made. My Tokyo Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen with white garlic tasted alright. The chasu and eggs in it were tasty, but after finishing those pieces, the rest of the ramen tasted more bland. I’d get the ramen with black garlic next time to see if it has more flavor. A cute thing they do at the moment is have a message at the bottom of the ramen bowl where you get a chance to win free food.

It’s a great spot if you’re looking for a beautiful atmosphere and a pretty bowl of food, but if you're prioritizing a complex, high-quality broth, it might fall a little short. Great for photos, but just average for foodies."

Spicy pork Ramen and Omurice with donkatsu was taste good. And it was fun to sit higher spot dinning table. Nice interior design.

We did the dinner for two and everything we tried we were saying “wow that’s so good!” I’m glad we tried some new flavors, the meat was so soft, the broth was homemade and delicious. Will definitely be back here every time we are in the area. And the parking garage is free if you use their discount code

Good food, fast service, great atmosphere. The eel rice burger was very tasty. I'd come again!

The place was pretty cool from interior to setup - I feel like it is a modern Japanese restaurant. The place is quite busy when we visited but we did not wait to be seated. The service was fast enough and while waiting we really had fun looking around with the details of this restaurant. The food was good and they have variety of options in the menu. We ordered their signature ramen - the broth was okay, decent enough but we think it could be richer with the flavor. I think one of the fun things here is you can get a free bowl of Ramen but you will not find out until you slurp everything out of your bowl as the note is at the bottom of the bowl.

We came, we saw and ate like 2 hungry hippos. Ordered the braised pork ramen, takoyakki, and a bunch of popular items to try. Service was great, quick and fast, parking was easy as well. Defintely will come back for more!

I had such high expectations since it was such a hit restaurant in NYC but was greatly disappointed. Starting with the good. The interior design is so cool and pretty. They have very unique bee hive type cubbies where people can sit. There is also a lot of seating inside so likely wouldn't be a wait. The servers were very friendly and helped explain each menu item and even give their recommendations. However, the food did not hit. The ramen tasted super bland, the soft boiled egg wasn't really soft boiled. The chashiu was not bad but not as soft and a bit on the chewy side. The popcorn chicken was pretty good. The drinks they offer are pretty good too. We also got their dessert puddings. However each one tasted really weird especially the cherry blossom one. It tasted so much like soap that we couldn't finish it. I would suggest you go elsewhere for ramen as there are so many better places in the Virginia area.

Our second Kyuramen location we've tried. Got seated right away and in one of the booths with curtains. Food was great! Tried the gyoza this time, very good. Husband got the Tokyo Tonkatsu ramen. He really enjoyed it. The "Amazing Lemonade" was interesting, should have asked what it was first, the addition of cucumber was kind of odd-‍

Considerations if you would like to sit in a honey comb: 1) call ahead to the restaurant and make a reservation 2) note that there is a party size limit as the combs are benches. This location is smaller than the one I went to Chicago but I was pleasantly surprised that the menu changed from what I had in Chicago. I don't know if it's chain wide changes due to season or location specific menues.

Super cute ramen spot with pleasing decor and atmosphere. When you first walk in, you will notice the unique honeycomb wall seating on the left. We were seated in private booths behind curtains. I loved this along with all their table settings. The staff was attentive and speedy. We ordered the appetizer sampler and it comes out plated so beautifully. We each ordered the ramen combo which comes with a Thai tea, a bao bun and a bowl of ramen. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu broth and it was delicious. It was so good that I realized I didn't take a picture of the ramen bowl before I ate! I slurped up every last bit of it. Highly recommended and I would definitely come back.

The ambience is so aesthetic just like their midtown nyc location! They have cute seating and I'm happy we manifested a pod experience! The service was really wonderful considering we came 10 min before kitchen closed (sorry but thank you for feeding us!!!) The food was very delicious! The combo came with ramen, a pork bun, and a dessert !! The rice burger was very different but still we attempted to eat it like a burger, still very crunchy and delicious. The fries were filling so we took most of it home. The matcha pudding was an experience in its own, very good! I'd definitely recommend!!!

Had a chance to visit Kyuramen with my wife for a weekday dinner one night. Relatively new restaurant with a very interesting interior design. The menu seemed relatively straightforward and had your classic options. The bowls were pretty decent. I think if you're in the market for ramen and pretty close by, this is a good option. Wouldn't call it the best ramen in the region but definitely pretty good. My only qualm was the broth was a bit salty and the curry was too thick. Overall though don't mind it and will probably be back to try out the other Bowls at some point.

With all the hype surrounding Kyuramen, a friend and I had to pay a visit and ty the food ourselves. The Food: I went with the "Black Garlic Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu Ramen" as my main. Also ordered some "Popcorn Chicken" and "Takoyaki" for sides. To start, the sides were good. The chicken was fried nicely and tender. The Takoyaki were generously portioned and had a decent amount of octopus in there. For the main, the ramen was delicious. The broth was flavorful, creamy and rich. The only downside of it was that the chashu was so thin, so I had to order extra to get my chashu cravings done. Wish it was a little thicker of a cut. But overall a good bowl of ramen. The Service: Service was good. The staff were fairly attentive with our table, even with us being seated at the special upstairs cubed areas. Overall a good service. The Atmosphere: The restaurant was decorated very nicely. The place was nice and clean, with a modern aesthetic that is just Instagrammable. Although, definitely recommend getting there early or making reservations as it can be quite busy during peak hours Overall, a 4/5. Ramen is delicious, sides are good and the whole atmosphere is incredibly nice. Would definitely recommend checking out Kyuramen if you get the chance.

Featured: 1) Omurice with curry glaze 2) Okonomiyaki I really liked the Thai iced tea! And the number two item I posted above. Those were extremely good. I was not a big fan of the number one item I posted above. I think this has to do with my personal preferences as I'm not a huge egg person. I will definitely try to come back and try their Ramen! Overall, the service was extremely good and the place was super cool . We got to sit in the honeycomb booth! I love that! I will definitely try to be back!!

I love Kyuramen so much! The food, the service, the beautiful decorations... just amazing. This is my third Kyuramen to go to in a different state and everytime I go, it's just always a great experience. The menu is so creative and the food comes out fast and hot!

These pics are from a while back when they first opened this location a few months ago, the hype and lines for Kyuramen was STRONG due to the DMV Foodies on social media promoting this place, and it still is! We got the following: Ika Geso Kara-age, Fried Squid Fried Potato Shrimp Tonkatsu Curry Ramen Classic Omurice with Demi Glace The Fried Squid and Fried Potato Shrimp appetizers were delicious: not overly greasy, really nice crispy textures on the batter, good flavors, presentation is also really nice especially on the potato shrimp! The Tonkatsu Curry Ramen is the most expensive ramen on the menu last I recall, and I definitely did enjoy it. Really good curry broth, the noodles were on the thicker side and had a nice chew to it, and the tonkatsu was tasty and still slightly crispy! The Omurice with Demi Glace is the main item that everyone takes photos of and posts on social media, definitely the most hyped up item, but how does it taste? In my opinion it was a bit overhyped, the demi-glace is light on flavor, and so is the rice itself. The presentation is definitely great, and the server cuts it open at the table which a great photo op for sure! Perhaps the curry sauce would've tasted better on the omurice than the demi-glace. Service was great, there's usually a line due to how popular the location is, but they seated us promptly when our table was ready, and the servers were attentive! The aesthetics of the place with their honeycomb frames around the seat and warm lighting is definitely iconic, it's great that we finally have a Kyuramen in the DMV!

I came here because I saw an instagram video about the cool honeycomb seating and was happy that we got seated in the center of the honeycomb! The reservation was easy to make online and Kyu Ramen had a very cool atmosphere. Modern yet still keeping the ramen shop aesthetic with the option to sit at the counter, at tables, in 1 of their 3 private rooms, or in a honeycomb. I got the omurice which was tasty and unique. The eggs were the perfect texture and temp. Demi glacé was recommended as the most popular sauce for the omurice and it was tasty. Unfortunately, the sauce and fried rice were a little too salty. The rice in the fried rice also had a harder texture than I would have liked, almost like brown rice rather than jasmine rice. I added pork katsu to my omurice and was disappoint by it. The breading was too thick and the pork was a little flavorless. Would just go for the regular omurice if I went again. The egg was definitely the stand out star of the dish. I also got the try both the Thai iced tea and the amazing lemonade. While they were both good, I would have preferred the option to order just the omurice without the drink combo. There was a little too much ice in the Thai iced tea and it got watered down.

This place has been on the bucket list for months and we finally managed to sneak in during lunch time on a week day. Ramen is the best I've had in the area. Broth is flavorful and deep. First time trying omurice and if you have not tried it put it on your bucket list. It tastes like a sweet and savory fried rice and the runny egg adds an almost creaminess to the sauce. The appetizers and desserts were also delicious. Highly recommend!

Okay I actually like this better than Jinya and other ramen spots! I got the megaramen, super flavorful, and not salty (the kind that doesn't leave you thirsty). Service was great, tables/chairs are always clean and their takoyaki octopus balls were chef's kiss. Will definitely return soon

Talk about efficient! This is a semi-small but mighty well oiled machine and the way they run makes so much sense after being able to visit. Random Sunday evening visit to finally try somewhere other than Jinya and for 2 is was about a 15-20 minute wait then we were taken to the bar. We were immediately greeted and able to order drinks and appetizers. Running so quickly and smoothly makes sense because there are no substitutions! That had us stumped for a second but we were able to push on and still have a great meal. I went with a sprite and chicken ramen. My friend ordered the edamame and I loved the seasonings it was tossed in -- some of the best I've ever had at a restaurant! Move my ramen arrived I just took off what I didn't prefer and used the table seasonings for spice, which were different from the usual but I really loved. Can't wait to bring my husband here! 4.5 rounded up.

Very good ramen, beautiful ambience. Noodles were one of the best I have had. Flavorful and right texture. Friendly hosts and waiters.

Came here again for lunch. Pretty much the same experience as my first time. Quick service and delicious food. I decided to go with the combo so I could try the thai iced tea and pork bao bun. Both worth pairing with your choice of ramen! This might be my go-to in the area for a while.

I saw this restaurant on the list of Falls Church restaurant week list but unfortunately I was unable to attend during restaurant week. However, I was able to get over there this week and I'm glad I did! First, there is a parking garage and if you WAIT to pay, the restaurant has a discount code that will cover 3 hours of parking. We got seated in the little beehive which has 3 tables for 2ppl each. I was very excited we got to experience that and honestly it's so fun! I wouldn't want to eat on the main floor. The service was quick and the food was tasty. I could not get enough of the chili garlic edamame!

Came here multiple times since they had a lot of hype from their opening. We waited about an hour or two the first two times we went here during opening. Then we went again when it died down to give it a fair shot. This spot is in Founder's Row so you have to park in the garage, but they have parking validation for up to 3 hours which is nice. The honeycomb seating is cool but very limited, you get lucky to be seated there. But interior is nice and modern. Other than that, the service is decent. No major complaints, the ambience seems just a bit hectic. As for the food.. the first time we got the combo meal with two ramens, drinks, and desserts. The ramen was nothing to die for considering the price points. Disappointing since its supposed to be a ramen spot. It seems most people come here to try the omurice which takes the longest to make. We waited 30 minutes for our omurice and when we got it the inside of the egg was room temperature.. so presentation is decent, but the taste and experience do not make up for the anticipation for it.. The karaage and takiyaki appetizers were standard. Hard to mess those up. I was honestly most impressed by their drinks LOL. Thai Tea and their lemonade was really good. Not sure if they are related, but pretty sure their desserts come from next door at Kyo Matcha. Every time we went, we said we probably wouldn't come back. Third times the charm and we haven't been back since.

There was a line out the door on this blustery cold day. Almost drove away but I was craving a hot bowl of ramen. Wiggled my way to the front of the line to put my name on the iPad waitlist.. and the host asked me if I was alone. Yup! Follow me.. takes me to the last open seat at the counter. Score. The interior has a honeycomb design that org 3 tiers of seating. Looks hyper modern. There are multiple combo choices and it took me a minute to choose Combo A: tonkotsu ramen, one pork belly bao bun, and a matcha dessert. Perfect amount that leaves you feeling full and satisfied. Service was spotty. Took me a while to find someone to take my order. Two servers came to me at the same time. Getting the next course was a wait as well. And then getting my check took effort. I could have been in and out in a flash if service had been on point. Food is good and a good value so I will be coming back.

The atmosphere here is super cool. We liked the tables up the stairs along the wall but it's oddly arranged so the table is pretty far from the actually seats. Was not a fan of the lemonade but thai tea is hard to miss. The bun was decent, but like most places was over powered by the bun and little topping ratio. The omurice was the main reason we came here and I liked the gooey-ness of the egg. The sauce was not to my tasting, maybe their curry sauce would have been better. Also wished that they didn't cut and pour for you although that is part of the experience. I wouldn't have done that much sauce. (not pictured) but we also ordered the #4 sapporo miso ramen (hot). I have always loved miso based broths but this one did not hit the spot. The overall flavor was not close to miso, maybe because we got the highest spice level but still. It just had a really odd flavor to it and I was not a personal fan. Had plenty of toppings and a good meat portion. Just did not like the broth and to some that is the main element. Service was fine and the place is nice and clean. Just did not like the ramen broth and the sauce in the egg along with it becoming over powering and masking the entire dish. I would suggest asking them to leave the sauce in the side!

Fried squid was nice and lemony, a little gooey on the inside. Pretty good but wouldn't get it again. They had some spices on the side you could add to your food and I particularly enjoyed the saurkraut pepper seasoning, which was tangy and spicy. Very unique and went well with the fried squid. The steamed pork bun was cute and fluffy, but the pork was a tad dry. Not mad about it tho Thai iced tea was sweet and hit the spot. The Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu ramen with black garlic was yummy, egg had a nice jelly yolk and chashu was tender, strong garlic flavor with I loved. My bf enjoyed his Spicy Kyushu Tonkotsu ramen and drank all the soup. He didn't like how thin the chashu was. I don't usually pay attention to service as long as the food is good, but I couldn't help but notice they placed all the dishes in front of the wrong person who ordered it. They even tried giving our ramen to the couple next to us before noticing their confused looks and giving it to us. Waiters were pretty hasty and tried to take my bf's ramen as soon as he leaned back in his seat but he wasn't done. Overall, I wouldn't go out of my way for the ramen anytime soon, but am curious to try the omurice!

The chicken karage was AMAZING. Omurice was subpar - felt a little too saucy/ liquidy? for what it was. Rice was ok. The ramens were definitely better (sorry no pics) And the drinks were good!!

After the much hyped and recommended suggestions as well as reviews from both VA friends & social media, I'm honestly unimpressed. I was excited after waiting for so long to eat here but we can dive into the reason of lack luster later in this review. The decor was gorgeous with the LED lights and Japanese-style ramen shop props. The wait wasn't long and they provide you free parking (so don't pay if you parked in the garage!). Once seated at your table there is a button to call for service as needed. You will come to this restaurant for either of two things: 1) their ramen and/or 2) their Omurcie I came for the second option. I even splurged the extra dollars for the Pork Tonkatsu since it was a special occasion for me when I visited. The rest of my party's food came out before mines, which is perfectly ok. Waiting for a delicious and exciting meal deserves its "save the best for last" moment. Yet the fact it came out after everyone else was already finished with their food leaves out the ambiance of a group or family style dinner. Additionally, one of the most exciting things about the omurice is the ability to cut open the egg and watch it spill over the rice-- but I was robbed of even having the opportunity to cut it myself.. let alone take a picture of what it looked like uncut or record the cutting happening. I really wish our server asked me if I'd prefer them to cut it for me or if I'd like to cut it. Or at the very least allow me to take a picture of my food before anything was done to it, as well as record it (as we all love to do as foodies no?) Starting from this point I was a little unhappy. I was also unable to control how much sauce I wanted on my omurice as the server ALSO took over that part and poured the ENTIRE sauce container over my rice. Regardless, we obtained our food nice and hot! But biting into the omurice-- there was really not much to write home about. I honestly think it was better plain than all the sauce poured on in (and again.. I didn't get to control how much sauce was put on it since the server did everything..). The fresh egg and fried rice was just OK. The worst part was that the Pork Tonkatsu tasted like it was a frozen patty that got thawed out and placed into the air fryer or a deep fry. It was very wet in the inside and lacked the crisp that most Tonkatsus have-- let alone the breading was weird compared to the popular Panko Breading. If anything it almost tasted artificial for a lack of better words, like one of those cheap school chow lunches. Needless to say, it was not worth the extra dollars. It was so bad I didn't even take a picture because of how sick it made me feel after eating it. The other strong points of this place is their fried oyster! It was very delicious and well made. It paired nicely with the yum yum sauce. Their ramen was also okay, the broth was actually delicious and had good aroma to it. The meat was just a little too salty. What I also appreciate about the menu is that for the meals you order it is paired with included appetizers and drinks (if you order the combo or speciality meals). I'd highly recommend the Thai Iced Tea over the Lemonade. Considering the price point we had to pay (over $100 fyi) for the food (as well as how it got served to me and my party), I wouldn't come here again. Maybe if I was really craving some Thai Tea or the Oysters but even then there could be better places found. Thank you for the experience if anything! Hope this review helps for future foodies and eaters.

While I love the kitschy decor and service at my fingertips with a press of a button, the Veggie Ramen was underwhelming and flavorless. The broth was very salty and bland. The soft hard-boiled egg was worth the extra charge and my favorite topping! The corn, scallions, wakame, broccoli, fried tofu and heap of ramen were good, but wish the broth could bland in all the flavors. My hubby ordered the Chicken Ramen and also agreed that the broth and ramen was flavorless. We both left behind a heap of noodles soaking in broth. Kyuramen is part of a large chain with 170 locations. Glad to try it, but won't be back or visit another location.

We've heard a lot of talk about Kyuramen's food and how long the waits are so we were very curious. The first time we went, we could see the line of people out the door (even in the rain) so we gave up immediately. Recently we've seen that you can placed online orders so we went for that. We got the Tonkotsu Shouyu Ramen with black garlic, Sapporo Miso Ramen, Pan Fried Dumplings, and the Pork Bao Buns. Pick up was a little tough just because the line/waiting area was packed but it was ready in just 20 minutes despite that. The food traveled pretty well. The ramen wasn't a huge portion for the price but I have to say the broth was pretty rich (specifically the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen) and the noodles were cooked perfectly. It was still satisfying though. The dumplings were ok, not the most flavorful but the pork bao buns were good. The food was definitely solid. I hope in the future that the Falls Church location will show up on the Kyuramen app and that all the menu will be available for onilne order. I've heard great things about the Omurice and I need to try it out!

There's been so much buzz about kyuramen and we were excited to try it. We went in on a Friday night. We called an hour before we planned to get there and were able to reserve a table for a party of 4. This made it very convenient as we didn't have a wait time when we arrived. For a Friday night it was pretty packed and lots of people waiting for tables as well. We were seated in one of the booths which was a cool experience. The whole restaurant feels very modern and trendy. We shared 3 appetizers: the shrimp tempura, popcorn chicken and pan fried chicken gyoza. All the appetizers were great, with the shrimp tempura being my favorite. For my main dish I ordered the chicken ramen. I thought it was ok, nothing special for me. I wish there was an option to make it spicy like the other ramen dishes. They have spices you can add that are at your table but it didn't taste much better in my opinion. I also ordered a Thai iced tea which I did like. Two people from our group ordered the omurice and felt an overpowering taste of butter in the rice. Overall it's not worth waiting 30+ minutes for, but if you call and get your preferred time it'll be much easier. There's a parking garage right next door and they validate your parking which is a plus. Out of everything, I enjoyed the appetizers more than my ramen, but I didn't feel like anything stood out to me.

We enjoyed our time eating at Kyuramen. When we arrived we were told it'd be a 20 min wait but they sat us in 10. It definitely got busier as the night went on and I was grateful we arrived when we did. Overall this place has a nice aesthetic with decent food. I wouldn't go out of my way to come back (I like a different ramen place better) but if a friend suggested it I wouldn't dissuade them from coming and I'd be down to join them! The ramen noodles weren't that impressive. They tasted store bought and not to the standard that we were expecting from this restaurant. But the meat in the ramen (pork for us) was delectable! What we got: Combination B: - Popcorn chicken - 3* it was your basically little fried chicken. I enjoyed dipping it in the Same broth. - Kyushu Tonkatsu Shio Ramen - 4* satisfying but I liked the other one better. We tried the black garlic version and that was fun. - Sapporo Miso Ramen - 4.5* the better of the two in my opinion. - Japanese Cherry Blossom Jelly - 4* floral, light, and refreshing. And it looked absolutely darling! My partner and I both enjoyed the miniatures. - Amazing Lemonade - 5* this drink was amazing! It wasn't cloyingly sweet and was quite refreshing. There was also a nice subtle cucumber flavor in it that I really liked. Pork Tonkatsu Omurice - 3* wasn't a huge fan of this one. The egg in the top was really good. The tonkatsu tasted more like tempura to me than tonkatsu. I wasn't a huge fan of the rice which is a big part of this dish. We tried the demi glaze instead of the curry and I also wasn't a fan of that. It was sweeter than I would've liked for this dish and I wished I'd tried the curry instead.

food: ordered the omurice combo with curry sauce and my friend ordered a ramen. We also got Thai tea on the side. To start off, the ramen was absolutely delicious, the broth was not too salty or greasy, and everything was well cooked. I say that as someone who is not fond of ramen and have good reviews for very few ramen places, so I'll definitely be ordering the ramen next time. For the omurice, I definitely feel like it was not as outstanding as the ramen. The dish was slightly one dimensional, and eggs felt watery without much seasoning. service: unfortunately, we were sat in one of the honeycombs, and service was lacking. I had waited almost 20 minutes and pressed the bell 3-5 times before someone came to take our order or get the check. This part was a little disappointing to me. ambiance: really like the honeycomb designs and the bar feature of the restaurant!

Place is poppin'! First time we came, we weren't able to eat because the wait time was 2 hours... lol. So make sure you make a reservation ahead of time! The aesthetics and decor really makes you feel like you're in Japan! And finally, a place that serves Omurice! We ordered the Takoyaki Octopus balls, Omurice combo (comes with Thai tea) and Combo A (Tonkotsu Shouyu Ramen, steamed pork bao bun, and Thai iced tea). All the food was delicious! The broth of ramen was rich and savory. I've never ate Omurice before, but it is a nice post-workout meal. lol. I was left satisfied and not too full. I would recommend anyone to try out this place! I would definitely come back here. Pricing is worth it, in my opinion!

After seeing so many videos on IG, I finally got to try Kyuramen. I came here during the week with a friend for dinner. We arrived around 6pm and were seated right away. There wasn't much of a line but the line started to form around 6:30/7pm. There is a tablet in the front to add your name to the waitlist. I ordered the omurice combo and matcha pudding dessert. My friend ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen and cherry blossom dessert. I was really excited to try the omurice. After trying it, I thought the dish was okay. The rice and egg were not hot at all and a little bland for my liking. Inside the rice had peas, the peas were hard and not a soft texture. The dish looks good in the picture but I think the execution was off. I'm not sure if they had the dishes prepared ahead of time since it can get busy. As for the dessert, the matcha pudding was good. The texture was very smooth and had a light matcha taste. FYI - the parking discount code is by the hostess station.

Went to go see what the hype was about. I heard there is always a wait so we went exactly when they opened on a Saturday and were able to get seated immediately in one of the honeycomb tables. Cute concept and nice traditional decor. Food takes a really long time to come out, though they do warn you about it when you order. Both the ramen and the omurice were mediocre. The best thing we had was the age dashi tofu. Definitely not worth the hype but possibly worth a try. Would not return for a second time though.

Another excellent addition to the local ramen scene, Kyuramen has many types of broth to satisfy any palate. If you can't have anything pork-related, they gotchoo covered with vegetable broth and chicken broth. I had the apicy Tonkotsu and it was great. A little underwhelming with heat, I definitely added some of the hot chili powder at the table to kick it up a notch. Will definitely be back.

Located in Falls Church town center. Easy to find the place and free public parking in adjacent garage. It is good to have reservations, if not they will accommodate for walk-ins during non-peak hours but the wait times can sometimes be hours. Weekdays are pretty relaxed. Ambiance is great, unique decor to increase the tables in small space is excellent, table height is decent and atmosphere is very noisy but acceptable. They have Asian style separate rooms for large parties with buzzers to call for service. Staff and service is excellent. Food is great, I have tasted some of the best ramen and appetizers here and attention to details is good. Classic omurice lacked seasoning which can be adjusted. Good place for family and friends get-together along with date nights. Will definitely return for more.

Food: 7/10. I think the ramens are the best menu items, especially the first two #1 Tokyo Tonkotsu and #2 Kyushu Tonkotsu. We also ordered the spicy Kyushu and honestly it was not what I expected. The spiciness comes from mala, and I have not tried mala in Japanese ramen before. I was not a big fan. The omurice was a bit bland for me. Popcorn chicken was pretty good. Vibes: 8.5/10. Very cute inside, tho you may be seated at the bar instead of the hives. Service: 8/10. Staff are very nice, but very rushed. But they prolly was just busy since it's newly open. Park at the garage in the building, they have a validation code to get 50% off parking fee.

We waited about 50 minutes on a Thursday evening to try Kyura. The establishment is designed in a unique manner with a variety of seating (traditional, bar, privacy curtains, and of course the cubbies upstairs). We ordered different shio ramen and the popcorn chicken. The broth was just ok. Tasted rich but likely from the oil - it lacked depth and frankly just some plain old salt. The ramen broth at Santouka in Tysons has much more flavor. I asked for my noodles more firm and they seemed to come out just normal. The runner delivering our order couldn't tell us which ramen was whose..that was annoying. The popcorn chicken was pretty good and came out hot. Also, there were several open spots when we sat down, so unsure if the restaurant couldn't handle max capacity. Not sure if these are just opening deficiencies.

I'm not sure why this place has such low reviews when it is the best quality ramen in the area by a long shot! Located in the up and coming Founders Row area, there is ample parking in the garage (and you can go into the restaurant to find and use their code for free parking). They tend to have extremely long lines, and you put your name onto their waitlist. When we showed up on a Saturday night at 5:30, we waited for 40 minutes as a party of 2. We got the Tokyo Tonkotsu ramen and their pork tonkatsu omurice with curry sauce, which came with a choice of lemonade or Thai tea. They did the omurice presentation in front of us, and it was honestly magnificent. The egg was so soft, and the curry sauce was light yet flavorful. While I liked the omurice, the ramen stole the show for me! It wasn't too oily or salty, the noodles felt fresh, and they didn't skimp on the chashu pieces they gave. My only minor complaint was that their lemonade was super sweet, but that's nothing compared to how the food is. Will definitely make this my go-to spot!

Soft opening for 2 weeks and glad to have this in our neighborhood! The ambiance is fun and the service is very catering. For a Thursday dinner, I am glad we showed up early (around 530) as our wait was only 15 minutes. By the time we left, there was a line out the door with folks waiting alongside other tables since this place is fairly small. The food was fresh and delicious. Everything came out as it was prepared. I had my main course prior to the appetizers and other main courses, so hope that is a fix...just so we can all eat together. A must return for our family. Parking is in the garage of the apartment! First 20 minutes is free but then there is a charge. Make sure to join their rewards club. It wasn't operational yet, but hopefully will be once everything is in place for the actual opening! Will definitely be back. Enjoy!

Be prepared for a wait, if you are coming here on a weekend. My friend and I waited in line starting at 10:55 AM when it opened at 11 AM, and it took about 20 or so minutes to get seated. Once all spots are full (they have the honeycomb seating, regular tables, and the bar), you can join the queue at the kiosk desk where they will text you once a table for your party is available. After being seated, the place was full and it became an hour wait for everyone else. You are quickly served, but there are certain dishes that do take a while, such as baos (if they run out) and the omurice. The omurice does take about 30-45 minutes, but the servers will tell you this in advance. ------------------------------------- Service: 5/5 Wait: 3/5 (busy, it just opened fairly recently so everyone's been excited to come here) Ambiance: 4/5 (really cool set up, but was fairly noisy. They were also playing Taylor Swift the whole time) Food: 3/5 (overall. I will give a breakdown of each of the items I ordered) ------------------------------------- What we ordered: - Kyushu Tonkotsu Shio (Black Garlic) - Popcorn Chicken - Steam Pork Bao Buns - Tonkatsu Omurice Combo (comes with either the Amazing Lemonade or Thai Iced Tea. I picked the Amazing Lemonade) ------------------------------------- - Kyushu Tonkotsu Shio (Black Garlic): 3/5. My friend ordered this, and he said the broth was okay. The chashu was delicious, and the noodles (although pre-made and in packets), was fairly nice flavor and had a good bite to them. The garlic flavor was not noticeable at all, though. - Popcorn Chicken: 2/5. I believe this is not karaage (they did not list it as this), but I would have hoped that a Japanese restaurant would make it similar to karaage? It was a fairly off imitation of Taiwanese popcorn chicken to us. I was also hoping there would maybe be a wedge of lemon to help with the flavor like most Japanese ramen spots would have. - Steam Pork Bao Buns: 5/5! These were soft, rich, and delicious. I ordered two but only one came out first, but the staff were quick to inform me that it was going to take a while to make an additional batch, since it takes a while for the pork belly to be done. The sauce was delicious and some bites had a nice kick to it. - Tonkatsu Omurice Combo (comes with either the Amazing Lemonade or Thai Iced Tea. I picked the Amazing Lemonade): 3/5. My favorite part was the tonkatsu, it was amazingly light breading but the pork was rich and delicious. The omurice was fun to see being cut open, and the egg itself was delicious, but I felt like the rice with the demiglace sauce took away from it being an AMAZING dish. It just felt okay for me, and it felt strange since the rice was a fried rice. The Amazing Lemonade was very refreshing - it tasted like a cucumber lemonade, which I really liked! ------------------------------------- FOR THOSE VISITING FOUNDER'S ROW FOR THE FIRST TIME: You will have to pay for parking, if you are in the parking garage. The first 20 minutes is free, but it is about $3.45 for three hours of parking. The parking is done via phone/ QR code. I would recommend people wait for the hype to die down a bit, prior to checking this place out. If you don't want to wait in line, I'd recommend maybe trying to visit for lunch on a weekday maybe.

I recently went on a weekday to try this place out and the food was excellent, as was the service. The menu is simple and very pork-centric, though there are non-pork options, as is typical with ramen places. I had the vegetarian ramen, which was excellent. I also got the tempura shrimp appetizer, which was excellent. Each table has little spice jars for sprinkling spice on your food. One was Shichimi Togarashi, but I forget the other two. It struck me how many seats they were able to put in such a small restaurant. I thought, "I'll go back again another time" Another time came last Friday. I knew it would be busy, so I went super early at 4:45PM. There was a line of people waiting. They had an iPad where you could put in your name, phone number, and party size. I did and proceeded to scope out how fast the tables were turning, despite some open 4 tops. They weren't, so I left and went to Urbano in Mosaic. By the time I was drove to Mosaic, parked, walked to Urbano, was seated, ordered drinks, and an appetizer I got a notification from Kyuramen my table was ready. Management would be wise to get rid of the 4 top tables in such a small space and replace them with two tops to make the space more flexible.

Do not be deterred by the wait and size of the restaurant! I was told it'd be a 30min wait, but was seated within 20min -not too bad, especially considering this was during the hype of being a newly opened restaurant! Our server apologized for the wait and told us that there may be a bit of the wait for the food. But to our surprise, the food came out in a timely manner and was very tasty! Ambiance: It's a quaint little place. But they make the most of their space. There are double-decker-like tables that allow for more seating. And there are private rooms hidden behind curtains. I came on a chilly day, so I felt a bit of a breeze as people kept opening the door. Food: I am a HUGE fan of combination A! It's such a good deal price-wise and each dish was flavorful and satisfying! TL;DR, I **cannot** wait to come back! 5 stars, easily!

OMURIIIIICE!!! We have been wanting to go to this new Japanese restaurant and finally we found time in our hands! This place did not disappoint! We got the spicy tonkatsu ramen combo (comes with a bao bun and choice of thai tea or lemonade), omurice with demi glace and tonkatsu, and fried squid tentacles. We were not super impressed with the ramen but the rest of the order were amazing! The ramen wasn't bad but we've had better ramen elsewhere. The fried tentacles were bomb! And I don't think I've been to a Japanese restaurant in the area that sells this (just tentacles). The tonkatsu omurice was really good too! The tonkotsu was tender and juicy. The bao bun was okay. The service was quick and everyone were so friendly. The restaurant looks clean and cute inside! I specially love the honeycomb style seating (i'm not sure what it's called). Overall, we will definitely come back!

Food is solid but not nearly worth the almost 3 hour waiting experience. Came in to try and eat some omurice and ramen on a Saturday. We knew it would be busy, but we literally waited almost 3 hours to be seated. There isn't an option to add yourself to the waitlist remotely; you have to go in store and add yourself that way. They originally quoted us an hour but it extended nearly three times that original quote. That's incredibly frustrating, since the actual dining experience was only about 30 minutes. The space itself is super cool. A really unique restaurant and seating design. We were pretty stoked that we got to sit in one of the wall pods. The food itself was honestly solid. We liked the thai tea that had a good tea to cream ratio, and the fried sweet potato appetizer was crispy and sweet. Really liked the omurice, especially since it's not offered often in restaurants. It was flavorful, meaty, and very filling. The ramen was solid, with a tasty broth and fresh noodles. I wasn't a huge fan of the chicken itself that was in the ramen, but it didn't take away from the overall flavor. The waiting time is a huge bummer, don't see myself returning because of it.

It's fun to sit in one of what I'm calling the honeycomb booths! I did not go during peak hours, and I was seated quickly by the hostess. She mentioned that if we needed assistance, we could use the call ringer at the booth, which I found to be quite helpful as I could dine without interruption. I tried the Sapporo miso ramen, which was pretty good and not too salty. I would get it again or try an omurice dish. Look forward to returning.

It was located in a newer developed neighborhood, the parking was easy behind the restaurant was the garage. We walked in and was seated. The featured elevated seating area was popular and eye catching. The menu was simple and they even had a la carte or make your own ramen menu where I could pick specific items like just only noodles and pork for the little ones. I had the spicy ramen it was very flavorful and good overall. My friend had told me the NY location was not that good but I think this location was good overall.

THE BIG: New ramen and omurice spot in Falls Church! Pretty small space but beautiful interior with a double decker honeycomb seating arrangement. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here on a rainy Tuesday afternoon ~4pm and thankfully there were little to no wait! I read the reviews of the 3-4 hour wait times and decided to come earlier. We were sat immediately in a booth. For food, I got the omurice while the others got ramen. The orders came out pretty fast. The omurice came with a drink of choice (tea or lemonade). I got the thai tea and it pretty good. Not too sweet. the omurice came out and the waiter performed the cutting ceremony. Definitely instagrammable and the flavors were pretty good with the japanese curry. I added some of the table seasoning on top to give the dish some oomph. Pork cutlet was very dry and overcooked. It was really hard to eat. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall the damage done here was ~$64 for 2 ramens and a pork omurice. Great experience if you haven't seen an omurice opening.

My husband and I decided to have a nice date night here on a weekday, and we had a great experience! Parking in the garage is validated by using the restaurant's parking code (ask front desk person). Since it was pretty slow, we were also able to sit in one of the honey comb shaped booths! Great little area, just not that much table space fyi! However, we ordered the Combination B and also got an omurice on top and were able to fit everything on the table with no issue. The lemonade was incredibly refreshing and I enjoyed every sip! Lemonade infused with cucumber is delicious! All the food also came out incredibly fast (like as fast as pho) which surprised us too! Everything we tried, we enjoyed every bite. The chicken karaage was perfect in texture and flavor. The ramen was good, though I'm not a huge ramen connoissieur so you can decide on that. It was as good as other ramen places around here to me. The omurice was yummy and we picked the demi glaze! Would love to try the other sauce with it next time too. I personally loved the matcha dessert more than the cherry blossom, but that's because I prefer pudding over jello consistency. Still, the desserts were both also delicious! Service was also great! We were checked on frequently too. Highly recommended for date on a weekday here.

I missed out on the chance to try Kyuramen in New York, but I am so glad they opened in VA! I got the A2 combo that included Tokyo Tonkotsu Shouyu Ramen with Pork Bao Bun, Thai Iced Tea and Matcha Pudding. I did notice that the broth had less flavor after I finished the chashu. We also had a #6 combo that was the Kyushu Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen with Pork Bao Bun and Lemonade. The broth was more flavorful than mine. The lemonade was also very refreshing and pairs well with everything. The server did forget that one of the combo comes with a bao bun and the matcha pudding towards the end of the meal. The interior is nicely decorated with honeycomb seating as well as private booths. Since it just opened expect longer wait times at night and weekends so I recommend coming early to be on the wait list. Plus, they do offer free parking validation by using the code at the host stand.
