Family-owned ramen bar with fantastic sushi. They use fresh in-house clean-label bone broths and ramen that are amalgamated with just the right combination to tantalize both the traditional and modern Japanese and Western palates.I had the Kizuna ramen and it was delicious! Premium Aburi Chashu (high grade pork belly carved and rolled, marinated overnight, braised for over 7 hours, chilled, sliced, and then chargrilled to smoky, tender perfection), delightful ramen noodles that are perfectly cooked and textured, and your usual ramen accoutrements, topped with a perfectly cooked and sliced Ramen Egg (Ajitsuke Tamago). Jinya ramen really can't compare with this, in my opinion. if you get the chance to meet the owner Rock or his family members, be sure to ask them about the story of the restaurant. it's a warm combination of east meets west!

My friend and I stopped by Kizuna for dinner this past Friday after a friend recommended the ramen here. The ambiance is warm and vibrant with a modern Japanese interior. The server gave us his recommendations and we got our ramens pretty quickly.TONKOTSU RAMEN - 15Our server said he liked to tonkotsu over the shio, so I ended up going with this one. This one comes with two nicely charred pork chashu, garlic oil, ginger, beansprouts, scallions, and nori. Sadly, I do not think this comes with a ramen egg, so you'll have to pay extra if you want it. The broth was creamy and flavorful (I could definitely taste the richness of the fat) but not overly salty. The pork chashu was a bit dry, but good flavor overall. I loved the generous amount of scallions. The noodles (yellow egg noodles here) soaked up the broth well and and beansprouts provided a nice crunchy texture. It hit the spot, but nothing to write home about.Not the best ramen spot in the DMV, and the portion size is slightly smaller compared to other spots. I could definitely eat more, though. Also, no ramen egg comes with it, sad!

I have been here two days in a row now. I've heard so many good things about their chirashi luxe! However it was a cold night so I ended up getting the pork shio ramen. The soup was delicious, the chashu is perfectly charred and tender, I loved my bowl and finished it quickly! The next day I came back to get chirashi bowl, they gave me a generous amount of fish, including premium seafood like uni, seared salmon belly and toro! I was so impressed by this bowl. I would definitely come back to try their other dishes!

This place is a gem! Beautiful restaurant, I went for lunch with friends and it was quiet but lovely. The staff were very kind. I love that they have both sushi and ramen. The sushi was very good, I wish the spicy mayo was mixed into the spicy tuna instead of put on top, but otherwise the food was delicious. Vegan options are alright but not phenomenal. The shio ramen was divine! There's only one other place that has ramen this good that I've tried.

The brilliance of Kizuna is that they offer both SUSHI and RAMEN in the same place. My sushi folks don't eat ramen so we hadn't been able to go to ramen exclusive restaurants. Now I can have ramen while they have sushi. This is genius!Having said that, I didn't get ramen this time Lol. I was feeling sushi so let's rate their sushi. Their signature rolls were outstanding even though I don't understand why some sushi rolls are so huge to fit into one bite. I was surprised they had White Tuna nigiri. I always look for them in sushi restaurants. I'd rate the ones here 9/10 - not the best I've had but good. The salmon avocado hand roll was spot on 10/10. There are so many more items on their menu I want to come back for. The pickled ginger here is one of the best I've ever had. Perhaps, they made it from scratch. The kick it gave was unique, unlike other restaurants. The miso soup, however, was watered down and tasted off. I'd skip it next time. Kizuna managed to find a secluded building in the Tyson area. It's a great location with many parking spaces right in front. This is a busy area to have such a dedicated building and parking space. The layout and presentation inside also welcome you in. I especially love the ceiling full of dim light. The restaurant is split into two halves - one half has tables like any other restaurant and the other half is like a ramen bar. To top it all off, the waitress was attentive showing up at the right time to order and delivering food without long pauses in between. VERDICT: so many good options, and amazing lighting, coming back for more!

Came in for late lunch on a Sunday, there was ample seating without a reservation! Food took a while to come out but was very good! They are flexible with the sushi moriawase if you want to exclude any certain kind of fish or shrimp which is nice. They have a lot of other items on the menu as well such as ramen and katsu curry.

Craving some good-tasting ramen for dinner, I came to this place.Food - Their tonkatsu ramen was pretty good, but their sushi was terrible. The alleged tuna was brown! Do you know what it means when the fish changes its color? it means it is not fresh and I could taste it too! Service - Good, servers were nice and relatively quick due to the restaurant being almost completely empty when I was there.Parking - They have a parking lot right outside.Overall, this place is okay. They used to be great, but in the last 3 years it has been progressively getting worse.

I'm mad I waited so long to come back. The sushi and ramen was so delicious and I loved every bite of it. The service is great, the place is clean, and every menu item is worth trying. Make sure you get some hot saki to wash it all down
