Ramen Ya

This was my first time at Ramen ya. They were packed so I knew I was in the right spot. They gave us a buzzer and told us that it would be about a 40 minute wait so we waited in the car. And it was worth it!!We ordered the gyoza and shrimp shumai as appetizers. It was my first time tasting shrimp shumai--it has a soft texture. The ramen was phenomenal!!! FYI: They have straight noodles, not the curly noodles but it was delicious! I ordered the spicy tonkotsu because I tend to keep it basic haha. It was very flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the blackjack which is a combo of spicy tonkotsu and a black garlicky oil. He also added corn. I tasted his and it was so good too! This place is small but the flavors are large!! We'll definitely be back again.

This is still my go to spot for Ramen. The curry Ramen is top notch. Over the years I have seen them becomeskimpy on the portions of noodles and they have also decreased the amount of broth given. The normal portion is now a half portion. It's disappointing to see a place I and been supporting since they opened start to cut corners and also increase the price charged for the smaller portion. Because of this I don't go as often. I didn't see the original gentleman there anymore, makes me wonder if he sold the business, which would make sense for all of the changes to the portions. It's still the best Ramen around because of the broth and the homemade noodles. Here's hoping they stay with making the noodles fresh.

Ramen Ya instantly pops up in queue when in search for noods in the area. Fortunately on a random night a pit stop here was only a short wait for dine in!Menu options are simple with ramen and dumplings. Extra toppings, array of beverages from premium sake to soju to enhance your fill. Interestingly descriptions of the ramen are not available, so inquire if helpful!My ramen came enrobed in rich umami broth, bean sprouts, woodear mushrooms, spring onions, and bamboo shoots of sorts. The pork belly was melty tender albeit small, the ajitsuke was perfectly soft and the marinade was light. All flavors were fantastic, but the portion fell short. I recognize additional broth and noodles are available for purchase but I expect portion to meet my price. No. I'm not a big eater but ramen? Slurp on, my fellow nood lovers! Service was quick and friendly. Accessibility is limited, parking is ample. Kanpai! Itadakimasu!

Nothing better than a hot bowl of Ramen on a cold day. I've tried everyone here and have Lived them!! Staff are quick and pleasant.

This place is absolutely great. But be advised. Extremely popular so the wait can be long. But worth the wait. The ramen was so good and the broth was silky smooth. Not sure what else I can say but make sure you go. The gyoza was really great as well. Everything made in house. A definite recommend.

Came here with my daughter at 7:50 on a Friday night, and there was a 40 minute wait with folks crowded around the door!The wait was about 40 - went grocery shopping next door during it. Service was efficient and food came out quickly. We think this is definitely some of the best ramen in this area. I'm a little biased because I had ramen 2 weeks ago in CA, which always sets my standard.I had spicy miso, daughter had spicy tonkatsu. Hers was a little better, mine could have had more miso flavor.Overall though glad to find this place! Come early or buy your groceries during the wait!

Amazing ramen, their hours are a bit of a workaround but their food is amazing that they can offer select hours. Service is great! Must try the pork buns, best I've had ANYWHERE!

They have a noodle making machine and station visible to the dining room! Really delicious, good-sized portions, and you can order an extra size of noodles to take home or for little ones. The black garlic spicy ramen is so good! If you get there during peak hours they may be a waitlist.

Overall: excellent ramen, small menu, all sorts of drinks, nostalgic ambiance in an old Pizza Hut, but the service was incredibly slowWe got there at 4:45 on a Saturday and there was already a wait. We waited a long time to be seated. The servers were kind, but super slow and there was so much time between each time they came to us. For example, was probably 10-15 minutes between when they dropped off the check and picked up our cards to run them. The food was incredible though. Definitely the best ramen I've had in Maryland. It was cool that they make the noodles homemade and in a glass room so you could watch it from where you eat. My family got three different broths and they were all delicious. I loved that I could order a basic one for my toddler and not have to pick out all of the stuff he doesn't like. He crushed it. The curry was the perfect amount spicy and savory.

summary: ramenya is one of the best tasting ramen shops in the area, but I do feel like it's somewhat a victim of its own success. Depending on what time you go, you can face long waits and spotty service, but otherwise a location to check out for sure.the food: there are tons of different types of ramen available with lots of different topping options as well. From what I gathered, everything is delicious too. The menu keeps it relatively simple (in a good way). The broth had great depth, flavor, and balance. The noodles had a good chew/spring to them (and built on location; you can see them make it from a window in the building). And the chashu meat is to die for.the ambiance: I think this is kind of where the limitations start to present itself. The building appears to be an old pizza hut location and there's not too much seating available. It's not uncommon for there to be a long wait list to get seated depending on when you go, so choose wisely. There's not much to look at from a decor-standpoint, but it does have a home-y ramen shop vibe, so I don't mind it especially since the food is so good.the service: not sure if it's understaffed or the system they have in place, but it was hard to get servers to come to our table at times. For what it's worth, everyone was very nice, but it definitely felt busy. From order to table, our food probably took about 40 minutes to arrive.ramenya is definitely a place to check out especially if you're into noodles, but my recommendation would be to go during off hours or find a good friend to wait in line for you to get a table.
