The Sui Gyoza are delicious boiled chicken dumplings with chili oil that are super meaty with just a hint of heat.
We loved the Shoyu Tori Paitan Ramen but whichever Ramen you choose, make sure to add on the roasted chicken quarter!
Don't like ramen ? There might be something wrong with you, but they got you covered w/ the massive Fried Chicken Dinner including mac & cheese , corn on the cob, coleslaw , mashed potatoes , & biscuits !
In the Summer, cuz it's hot, try the cold chicken Ramen . Also the bathroom has a mess of rooster photographs . Talk about sticking consistently to one's branding.
From the team behind Daikaya and Haikan, Bantam King is D.C.'s first restaurant entirely dedicated to chicken ramen . Find fried chicken and killler dumplings here, too, but the soup is the main star. Read more
This place is one of the best Ramen I've ever had - spicy miso is so good, not that spicy really but you can add spice.
fun vibe, awesome servers. Their CHINTAN is absolutely amazing. Ask for Shio Chintan (secret menu ). Fried chicken plate is on point - chicken drippings over rice . Spicy miso ramen good too.
Spicy miso is the best around DC. Skip going Daikaya around the corner. This place has the great ramen you are looking for.
Super cute place for halal ramen ! The creamy chicken ramen was incredible and the fried chicken out of this world. 🍜
The Spicy Miso Ramen was incredibly and extremely rich in flavor and had a really nice thick broth. Thought it was cool how it was a non pork ramen spot.
The spicy miso was really good. I went with the spice bomb for more heat. I got a little sweat going, but it didn’t leave my mouth burning.
The ramen is excellent. Be sure to get the rice with chicken drippings . It’s small but it’s so rich and delicious.
They do have a veggie ramen it's just not on the menu . It comes with butternut squash - next time I'll ask them to hold it as it doesn't add anything to the (very good) ramen .
SUPER casual , SUPER chicken ramen . Eclectic decor, awesome food, and a rotating cocktail on draft ; can't be beat!
Hot chicken is great. Rice with the chicken drippings is a must. Spicy miso is great, too.
Ramen is great but limited selection with the same toppings for all kinds. Skip the fried chicken if you're looking for spicy .
Get the chicken broth . It’s the right choice.
The food is good, but if you get takeout , there’s a very good chance they’ll forget a portion of your order.
The dumplings are actually really good.
The ramen is delicious and so rich in flavor.
Yes this place truly is the king of ramen 10/10
Homemade gyoza and fantastic ramen !!
Great ramen soups . Gypsy was fantastic
Sister restaurant to Daikaya , this place only uses chicken as its base.
Rice w/ extra chicken drippings please #goodstuff #yumyum
One of best Ramen places in DC
Fried chicken plate
✨ Double sake bomb will get you twisted 🆘
Spicy ramen and fried chicken
Wouldn’t say it’s authentic but good nonetheless.
Spicy Muso Ramen
Miso is good
Sake Bombs are official 🤙
Chicken !!!!
Good, but too expensive for ramen .
Don't eat here. Food was awful. Better off waiting in line for Daikaya . :-(
Service was disorganized and lacking. It took four people until I finally got my order in. The food was mediocre with the exception of sui gyoza . Will not be coming back.
Delicious ramen and small Japanese plates. Highly recommend checking out their happy hour deals 5-8pm - Mimi Nguyen
super nachos on the first floor. shredded chicken, jalapenos - Ben Turner
Definitely get there early. I like to grab a beer before the snow with my friends. It's a great looking theater with comfy seats and a good location. - Molly Cushing
Tons of great cocktails, nice craft beer and cool space. If you like Lost & Found, Free State isn't far behind. - Michael Jenkins
