A small cute ramen shop with good food.The service was good, lady was kind and was doing her job. The takoyaki here is good and in my top 3 spots. It has a nice crispy outside with 1-2 pieces of octopus inside. I got the spicy Kimen Ramen and it was a good medium spice but i added chilli oil and their extra hot sauce that's on the table. The employee saw me eyeing the hot sauce and she warned me, it is extremely hot and i loved that it was an option (i love spicy spicy). The broth was super flavorful and the egg is always cooked to perfection. A solid ramen shop, with good service, nice and clean inside, with draft sapporo beer.

Chilly night called for ramen and Kimen delivered. Started with the Tako wasabi (octopus); a refreshing appetizer. Then ordered the Tantanmen ramen which was spicier than your typical miso or shoyu based ramen. Compared to other ramen places that give you one, you get two pieces of pork (or chicken) with options to add more on top of the standard toppings.Ambiance similar to small ramen places in Japan; however, they needed a double door as you would get a draft of cold air every time someone opened the door. Prices were on par with other places and service was quick and polite.

This is the sister restaurant to the Annandale location. Came here around happy hour time, but they did not do happy hour. I tried their chasu pork bun, chicken karaage, original ramen and miso ramen. The food was all mediocre. Nothing really stood out to me. The theme is similar to the Annandale location with Japanese posters on the wall. Both restaurants are more Korean than Japanese. The service was great and there is a good amount of parking outside.

FOODI had their shoyu ramen, and it was the perfect comfort food for a chilly evening. The broth was rich in umami, the dish was satisfyingly filling, and the toppings added a great contrast in texture to the noodles.DRINKSThey have various alcoholic drinks and soft drinks available for purchase.SERVICEThe staff are kind and friendly.AMBIANCEThere are about 5-8 tables inside the restaurant for groups of 2-8. A mix of bar and table seating is available.PARKINGAmple parking is available in the plaza lot.

A treasure of a place!! Truly delicious ramen!! We recently visited Japan and this place took us back! It is a small place but they have several tables and seating options. Their decor is super fun and captivating. Service is perfect, they are inviting, attentive and polite. I'll say it again, their ramen is amazing! Pork bun is delicious, and I am sure they're other plates are spot on too! Will try the curry next time. 10/10 recommend!

Pretty good ramen place located in Fairfax ! There's inside seating but it is very limited since the space is not big. The ramens came out pretty fast & I ordered the tantan special ramen. I opted for the pork broth & was super flavorful! I thought it would have been spicer but I had to add extra spice to mine lol Definitely will be back to try some of their other options.

Placed a pickup order here over the weekend and really enjoyed the chicken ramen dish. It was very flavorful and they gave me a ton of chicken! The service was quick, I got my meal in about 10 minutes. The restaurant was pretty small but you could still dine in if you wanted. Ambiance was cozy and casual. Looking forward to going back and trying some other dishes!

ABSOLUTELY love this place and wish I know about then sooner. The restaurant is small and have only a few tables inside and maybw 2 tables outside. We order lots of different food, the karagee, the chicken katsu, different types of ramens, a yuzu highnoon. Everything tasted delicious and such a large portion, I didn't finish mine and was full after 2 chopstick full. Love the Yuzu highnoon, tasted like juice but can also give you a bit of buzz. The tantanmen was amazing! It was perfectly seasoned and nicely presented! You can choose between chicken or pork for all types of ramen! The restaurant is decorated in a very unique place. Overall, I would love to come back here. One of my fav. ramen place in fairfax!
