Sakuramen - Washington, D.C.

My favorite ramen spot in DC. This hidden gem is tucked underground. Easy to miss but definitely worth the hunt. Food service is lightning fast. I rarely wait over 15 minutes to be seated on a busier day, they’ll open their second floor on occasion! Their Gojiramen is my personal favorite but their Tonkotsu Mild Ramen is delicious too. I think their ramen is perfectly portioned, however, their appetizers are meager in size and relatively expensive. The pork chashu buns are worth a try if you’re looking to splurge. Grocery store mochi.Little to no parking unless you’re looking to pay equal to a second bowl of ramen in the nearby garage. A fifteen minute walk from Adams Morgan and U Street metro stations, but I don’t mind the walk personally.

Very, very good ramen. I really only go to DC on business and stumbled across this place while walking around the hotel. Was so happy I tried it out. Best ramen I've had in a while, very good service, cool ambiance, will absolutely be back.Food: 5/5

Visiting and was starving! Parking around here on a Saturday night was hard. Place was full when we got here but was immediately greeted and told the wait wouldn't be long. We were seated shortly upstairs where the AC was blasting. Everyone was extremely satisfied with their bowls. Every ingredient was on point, even the kimchi was good. I was full halfway through my bowl but couldn't stop eating. Yuzu tea was soothing. Service was great. Highly recommend.

Came right when they opened on a Saturday and it slowly got packed! Did not know what to expect from ramen in DC, but this place did not disappoint! This ramen was packed with meat! Very interesting to have the bulgogi meat in it, but it was good bulgogi so no complaints. The charsiu was a great fatty and meat piece as well. The soup was a nice clear shoyu(? so it was really easy to sip on. Slowly the flavor of the bulgogi seeped into the soup so make sure to eat quick if you want to keep that initial flavor! Good amount of noodles! we thought about getting appetizers, but glad we didn't because this filled us up! 8.6/10

Absolutely delicious! I got the Tonkotsu Red Ramen level 6. It was so flavorful even the noodles taste like garlic. I decided to find a last minute food spot and decided on ramen (which I love) and I'm very picky with my ramen, most places have good broth yet the flavor of the noodles are always bland. So the first bite into my ramen I was more than happy! It wasn't packed, easy to find, staff was quick and friendly. Came on a Saturday so I feel I got lucky, the restaurant is clean and on the smaller side. I saw they offer door dash so keep that in mind as well. I'll definitely be back for more when in the city!
