The Tonkotsu Red Ramen is absolutely fantastic, great pork broth made with Berkshire pork belly chashu , kikurage, menma, green onion , kuro mayo , and nori .

Sakuramen serves up ramen that will leave you floored. With some influence from Korean cuisine, the Chosun, which features roasted kimchi and bulgogi made from Angus ribeye , cannot be missed. Read more

Their ramen is incredible and their spicy pork buns are as well . The service is very fast, the prices are fair , and the staff are very nice. I definitely recommend it.

Jeff Borrero Ruiz

First impression of the place was underground street-like restaurant & little tight. Tends to get full fast especially in weekends. Tried the Red Tonkotsu (8/10) and steamed pork Gyoza (8/10).

Came here at 11:30am and they had awesome songs as we ordered and ate. We sang along to all the songs it was like we were karaoking in the morning! Ramen and gyozas were good, buns were't that great.

This is the best ramen spot in DC. Incredible customer service & delicious ramen . Make sure to get the bulgogi steamed buns while you hungrily wait for your steaming bowl of ramen .

Rafael Morales

Chasu Buns were a great starter and the Tonkatsu Ramen was excellent! Perfectly cooked noodles , fresh woodear mushrooms & delicious pork belly . 4/5 spicy is good if you have a decent heat tolerance.

Mario Barraja

Ramen , spicy buns , gyoza all wonderful but order a take away : music is impossibly loud + even when there is a visible Q, some selfish punters don't get off their chairs and leave once they finish

Monica Jeannormil

great ramen ! & really cool hot young guys serving whats not 2 love. just dont expect a cocktail none of the waiters r old enough 2 serve. this small space is can only fit all that wonderful ramen

Viaggiatrice

The hot teas , both citron and ginger are so, so good. Loved the steamed buns . Ramen still not *quite* as good as Toki, but the other things make up for it.

Louise Gs

The music is a bit loud , but as the music selection is great (mainly 90s hits!) it's alright. Tasty gyozas , great ramens and mochi ice creams .

Vivian Nunez

This place is amazing! Never disappoints! Servers and service is great! And the food... Ohhh the food...is just from heaven!

Ina Ko

Spicy Miso Ramen with extra pork , soft boiled egg , and 2 extra fireballs. Mmmph!

Peggy Li

Spicy miso was very good! You can choose spiciness from 1-10. I recommend 5-7 if you like spicy food but don't want your mouth to be on fire.

Behrad Eats

Start your meal of right with the Spicy Pork Buns , really delicious and a great appetizer before ramen .

Kaarin Vembar

Fab food with a great staff . I always have a good meal here. Especially like ordering something for pick-up on rainy days! Warm comfort food to bring home and share.

Amanda Beth

I had the tonkostu mild and wasn't entitely impressed. The dish was fine, but there was nothing exceptional about it except the chasu. The chasu was delicious and the cut wasn't too fatty.

I had tonkatsu red ramen and it was awesome! Bolgogi bun is must have. Excellent service ! My 2 years old daughter enjoyed noodle ,bun , & mochi ★☆

Cara

Frequently crowded , as it should be - you can't go wrong with their variety of rich ramen . Don't skip the pork buns !

Eboni Washington

This is one of the best ramen places I've been to in DC. The Chashu Buns are amazing! To top it all off the customer service is perfect!!

Howard J. Lee

If there's a wait, don't worry about having to wait in line-the owner will take your mobile down and text you when your table is ready so you're free to walk around!

Kristine Untalan

Hands down, best ramen in DC. The other places may have the atmosphere, but nothing beats the broth here.

Melvin

Perfect for dates. Absolutely fantastic ramen . Plenty spicy too.

Ben R

Impressive ramen , springy noodles with just the right chewy texture. Get the red tonkotsu and add an egg .

Washington Post

The standout at Sakuramen is the vegetarian ramen . It features a broth of Japanese kelp, layers of bamboo shoots , corn and mushrooms marinated like Korean bulgogi . Read more

Hillary Hartley

The broth for the spicy miso ramen is complex and delicious. The service here is great. They remember everyone/everything!

Ana Marie 💃

The house Sakuramen and spicy ramen are awesome, random/good 90s early 00s jams playing are a plus (imho).

Huma

Great service and food -- had the vegetarian ramen noodles with the mushroom buns , delicious! Probably best not to come with a big group tho since space is ltd.

Linda Song

Mm those buns . The shoki ramen was full of delicious meat. But the buns ? They stole the show for me.

Matt Bernstein

The spicy pork buns were delicious and I really enjoyed the shoki ramen .

Mike Lock

Seriously THE best ramen in DC. Spicy miso ramen and chashu buns are a must have.

Shahrooz Shahandeh

The buns are AMAZING and the ramen is on point: great broth, perfectly cooked noodles , and spicy !

Danielle DaSilva

Small spot for awesome ramen in Adams Morgan. Try the ramen with kimchi and never skip the buns !

Laura Jaramillo-Bernal

The ramen is very good but you can find better in DC... the real reason to come here is the pork belly buns

Daniel Shlyuger

Come hungry and the spicy miso will hit the spot like nothing else, 7 on the heat scale is a really nice amount.

Chris Lee

Great ramen . The gojiramen is, unintuitively, better than the tonkatsu ramen .

Zac McCormick

Get the tonkatsu ramen . The Berkshire pork belly is top-notch.

Katarina Katsma

They consider sriracha a spicy level of 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. I'm usually calling uncle at 8 (and I lllooovvveeee spicy food ).

The buns are out of this world and the ramen is great too. Perfect ramen portion size
