Sakuramen - Washington, D.C.

My favorite ramen spot in DC. This hidden gem is tucked underground. Easy to miss but definitely worth the hunt. Food service is lightning fast. I rarely wait over 15 minutes to be seated on a busier day, they’ll open their second floor on occasion! Their Gojiramen is my personal favorite but their Tonkotsu Mild Ramen is delicious too. I think their ramen is perfectly portioned, however, their appetizers are meager in size and relatively expensive. The pork chashu buns are worth a try if you’re looking to splurge. Grocery store mochi.Little to no parking unless you’re looking to pay equal to a second bowl of ramen in the nearby garage. A fifteen minute walk from Adams Morgan and U Street metro stations, but I don’t mind the walk personally.

Very, very good ramen. I really only go to DC on business and stumbled across this place while walking around the hotel. Was so happy I tried it out. Best ramen I've had in a while, very good service, cool ambiance, will absolutely be back.Food: 5/5

Visiting and was starving! Parking around here on a Saturday night was hard. Place was full when we got here but was immediately greeted and told the wait wouldn't be long. We were seated shortly upstairs where the AC was blasting. Everyone was extremely satisfied with their bowls. Every ingredient was on point, even the kimchi was good. I was full halfway through my bowl but couldn't stop eating. Yuzu tea was soothing. Service was great. Highly recommend.

Sakuramen Ramen Bar is hands down one of the best ramen restaurants in Washington D.C. The ramen is absolutely delicious, with rich and flavorful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The gyoza is also a must-try, it's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious filling.The prices at Sakuramen are quite reasonable for the quality of food. You definitely get your money's worth here. The restaurant is also cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff.One thing to note is that the restaurant can get quite busy, especially during peak hours, so I'd recommend making a reservation or arriving early to avoid a wait. But trust me, it's well worth it.Overall, if you're in Adams Morgan and looking for some delicious and authentic ramen, Sakuramen is definitely the place to go. You will leave here highly satisfied.

Came right when they opened on a Saturday and it slowly got packed! Did not know what to expect from ramen in DC, but this place did not disappoint! This ramen was packed with meat! Very interesting to have the bulgogi meat in it, but it was good bulgogi so no complaints. The charsiu was a great fatty and meat piece as well. The soup was a nice clear shoyu(? so it was really easy to sip on. Slowly the flavor of the bulgogi seeped into the soup so make sure to eat quick if you want to keep that initial flavor! Good amount of noodles! we thought about getting appetizers, but glad we didn't because this filled us up! 8.6/10
