I'm sorry, but Toryumon Japanese House is probably the worst ramen place we have been to.
Their menu offers various apps, salads, soup, sushi/sashimi/rolls, hibachi entrees, various entrees, and ramen.
We had heard from a couple of friends that they make the trek to D.C. to just get their ramen fix here - we were curious, so we came here for a later dinner.
We ordered:
+the Ajitama Ramen - tonkotsu ramen with chashu, scallions, bamboo shoots, soft-boiled eggs, and nori; you can customize the 'fatback', aka the pork oil level, where theres light, regular, rich, and super rich; the hubs opted for the super rich; noodles were cooked al dente, but the broth had no flavor; the fatback did make a slight difference in making it edible; the nitamago was good
+Winter Chicken Ramen - this had fried chicken, scallions, egg, bamboo shoots, corn, and nori; the 'fried chicken' looked like a katsu, that didn't even use panko; there was seasoning on the chicken itself and it was super bland; the broth was horrible, as it was like water; the noodles were cooked al dente, and the nitamago egg was good
Service was friendly, but we weren't checked in, nor were we asked if we were satisfied with our bowls.
Also, while they had plenty of seats, they were seating all parties near the host stand, which was kind of cramped and uncomfortable.
Located down the stairs, there is limited metered street parking in the area.
Such a super disappointing experience!
