The ramen is amazing. We tried eating in once and they were pretty understaffed so service was very slow. Getting the ramen for takeout works out really well for us.We do not recommend the sushi.

Marumen has been our top pick for ramen in Northern Virginia for a super long time - really yummy food, fast service, great menu. However, I feel like things haven't been as great the past few times we've gone over the last year.Ramen is still really delicious and well worth the price. The past few visits though, they have been out of certain items on the menu. We took some friends to Marumen for their first time recently and it was actually so awkward with how much they weren't serving on their menu. My friend that can't eat pork and didn't want ramen had a hard time finding something to eat. No sushi. No draft beer. Then, finally, we thought - maybe we will order a dessert. They have to have those, right? No. Our waiter was very apologetic but I'm wondering why they were out of so much. I am hoping things turn around soon since this is a favorite spot of ours.

Came back here on a Friday night after not coming for some time. The place was quite busy due to a large group. Unfortunately, they didn't have sushi for some reason. However, the miso ramen hit the spot on a cold night. Make sure to add toppings as it's a basic ramen with a generous cut of pork. Mine was a little burnt however the price was reasonable post pandemic starting at $14. Service was quick and efficient.

We visited Marumen for a rainy day dinner and it was worth the drive. The ramen is great here. The service could be just a tiny bit better but the food overcompensated for this. I loved the okonomiyaki with seafood. I struggle with some places not putting enough fish in these but this one did not disappoint. The bao buns with pork were absolutely delicious.I will be returning for sure.

We were sat quickly. The waitress was friendly. Our orders came out quickly. The ramen was tasty. My only complaint is the Shoyu ramen had way more noodles than broth. The Braised Beef had plenty of broth.The broth is the best part. The egg that was in it was probably the tastiest egg I've ever had. It was our first time. If we are ever in the area again we will stop by.

I'm so glad I came to try this place out because it is delicious! I was in Virginia for a conference and stopped by this place twice. The first time, it was super busy and the second time, it was less. Either way, both times were delicious. If you are in the area and want some yummy Asian food, try this place out!

This is my FAVORITE ramen spot of all time. it never lacks flavor and i just love the broth,pork, and noodles. I've been so so many diff ramen spots here in va and in japan and this place still holds #1 in my heart. Their edamame and pork buns are also special favorites of mine as well.

Truly my favorite ramen spot and I keep coming back over the years. Great depth of flavor, portion size, and affordable. Cozy interior with the dark wooden tables for seating. I have been here when there has been some wait time and I have been here when it has not been as busy and regardless the ramen is always the same quality. I have tried various other ramen spots in the area and I keep coming back as there hasn't been a contender that really fits with these standards. My go-to is always the Spicy Miso Ramen and if i'm feeling fancy I like to add the fried shiitake mushrooms as a topping. A must try addition to ramen is the Karaage chicken under "specialty plates". Definitely a spot I always recommend to friends and family.

I think this is the best ramen, and that's no small compliment. Their spicy miso ramen isn't extremely spicy and has a good flavor that comes from quality ingredients. Or server was helpful and explained what the items were. A little more ambiance could make it an even more memorable experience.
