Ren's Ramen - Silver Spring

The food is good but not great. Portions are somewhat small and toppings are very stingy. Expect to pay street parking unless you get lucky. Not likely to return.

Fantastic ramen. The best I have had outside of Japan.

No frills. Just amazing ramen, chanpon, tan men, and tsukemen.After many a bowl here my favorites are the hot sour ramen (a must) and the garlic men. I'll give the curry ramen a shout out as well but the hot sour ramen rents space inside my head for free.

Ren's Ramen has the richest, most delicious broth I have ever had in my life. I've been to Japan and have had ramen at various restaurants there as well as in the USA, but nothing compares to their miso ramen broth. Absolutely nothing. And don't get me started on their fried rice, which they sometimes serve by request even though it's not on the menu. It's the best fried rice I've ever had. The chef is a genius. Ignore all the complaints on here about the seating situation or people feeling disrespected. You came here for the best ramen in Maryland, perhaps even the best in the world, and that's exactly what the chef will give you.

Yeah, this is definitely the best authentic ramen place I have ever been to. And the venue is super bare bones so you KNOW the food is awesome. I went to a lot of ramen joints in the DC metro back when I was specifically on a hunt for the *best* non instant ramen meal I could find and honestly this is the one that ended up as top of the line. The apps aren't as good as some of the bougie er places with chicken karaage or poke salad, to be fair but the ramen itself? UnmatchedEdit: the parking definitely is a mess tho. If you can get a spot or find one on a nearby street, cherish it
