Kimen Ramen Izakaya - Annandale

I came here on a whim from northern NJ on a work trip. I must say that this place is awesome! I've had plenty of ramen from NJ, NYC, and Tokyo and this place was definitely top of my list. The atmosphere is almost as good as the ramen itself! From the art on the walls, soft music, and friendly wait staff. I love the bountiful choices in Japanese drinks. I got a Sapporo with my meal ?. As for the ramen... The noodles were spot on! Spice and heat were just right. The egg was creamy and the pork had just the right amount of fat to melt in your mouth. The broth was definitely a highlight! I was so full from the amount they give you but I couldn't help but drink it. Come hungry! Definitely will be back here!

Great ramen place with many types of ramen to choose from. Large portions at a very affordable price when compared to other ramen places in the DMV area. I chose the spicy miso ramen and I was not disappointed; 1 large bowl of sweet, spicy and savory flavor, 2 big pieces of pork.I have eaten at many ramen restaurants but this is one of the first few that I am very satisfied with: great food, great music, great atmosphere. Would definitely come back to try other courses.

Great experience that stays true to the ways of ramen, with exceedingly good appetizers. Excellent drink selection. The octopus balls were my favorite appetizer of the three pictured (although the calamari are a close second, and I didn’t eat the fried dumpling). The intense savory flavor within the soft breading and the little chew of octopus inside was really delicious. Ramen was also wonderful, the pork was truly melt-in-your-mouth, but I didn’t get a picture because I was too busy eating it.

Loved it. This was my second time ordering ramen and these guys are definitely it. I got the spicy tantanmen ramen. Not only was the broth super delicious, it wasn’t too salty, the egg noodles were delish and the pickled egg was perfect. I will definitely return and you should definitely visit.I got takeout so these are my home pics.Parking: Sufficient parking is available.

Honestly I cannot believe this place has any positive feedback I ordered edame, gyozas and shrimp tempura delivered by GrubHub. No prob with GrubHub good communication, etc., arrived on time. But the FOOD. OMG. Edame overcooked, gyoza was some rolled up meat inside a chewy deep fried dumpling. It came with some undrinkable broth. Shrimp tempura was soggy and sitting on top of rice in what I can only describe as some sort of gravy. It is by far the WORST food experience I've had in this area.
