Reviews

Ramen is pretty good, I've had the spicy miso twice and it's been great once and just alright the other time. The staff is friendly and the place itself is a cozy basement style setup. Seating can end up being communal when it's busy which I like but may not be everyone's cup of tea.  Definitely a good bet for ramen in the Adams Morgan neighborhood though.  Wheelchair accessibility: This is a basement location with a staircase entrance, as far as I can tell it isn&#39;t wheelchair accessible.

We showed up with a party of 9.  Initially we're told the didn't have seating and then told they would open the upstairs for us.  Amazing food, great service.  One of our party lived in Japan and said the ramen and appetizers were just like what he got there. If you want amazing food and service... this us the place to go.Food: 5/5

This ramen is great. I got the Tonkotsu Red with an egg and a fireball. It was sooo good. My favorite ramen I’ve found in the district. The pork belly was well cooked and the flavor was incredible. The egg was also just runny enough which is how I love it. I will be going back. The service was great too. We waited almost no time for a table on a busy Friday night

Thank you Rob! Fantastic ramen. Place is small so set expectations you may need to wait for a table. Ramen Options were good. Beer selection impressive. Service was very friendly. A few blocks off the bike trail near the zoo. A good food option if you need to warm up.

Great bowl of Tokotsu ramen, broth and chasu were perfect!  Gyoza was meaty.  Keep up the good work!Food: 5/5

I decided to come to Sakuramen for the first time because I was in a ramen kind of mood this past Sunday. I typically use the cold weather as an excuse for my ramen adventures. The building's outside wall art walking upon it was pretty cool to me.  When I walked in, I must admit, I was not expecting it to be so small. I suppose it makes sense because it's an "underground"/basement restaurant. I reckon no more than 20 people at a time can dine in. It took a while to be seated because the restaurant suddenly got full, and a long line formed behind me. The wait wasn't too long, though. Thankfully, I came in solo. They have patrons sign their name on a waitlist in case it becomes too crowded. The wall art inside is a Samarai, I think, which is pretty awesome. It adds a fiery touch to the ambiance.  The Food: I ordered the Tonkotsu Red ramen bowl. I noticed on the menu that the noodles were "thin," but it didn't take away from the overall experience. The bowl itself was quite delightful. I typically rate how well a ramen will be if the chashu is cooked properly and the aromatic oils. The chashu was perfection, nearly melted in my mouth with a perfect lean to fat ratio pairing well with the broth. The oil black garlic and the red pepper tare were barely noticeable. I think improvement is needed on that. The mushrooms added a very interesting kick to it to me, mainly because this is my first time with mushrooms in my ramen. My main issue was the seasoned egg. I typically prefer & expect mine soft boiled with the runny yolk. As one can see, it was overcooked to my dismay. It was also quite overpriced almost all of the "Extra Toppings" are very overpriced, in my opinion.  Though the bowl I had was pretty solid not the best I ever had in DC, but can be better, I am unsure if I will return any time soon. The restaurant is located in Adams Morgan, which is a hike for me even without heavy traffic. The parking was also atrocious in the area so it'll take a minute to find something. If I am in the neighborhood by chance, I will come in for a bite. For those living in the Adams Morgan neighborhood or close by, I do recommend it. Just get there in the times when they aren't busy. I think that will typically be before 7 pm, even on weekends. They offer a decent variety in bowls and also have appetizers, drinks regular drinks & Japanese + local beers, and a short list of side dishes & mochi ice cream as the dessert.

Very enjoyable. Had the Tonkotsu Red and spicy pork buns. Pork was cooked well enough in both dishes that the fat melted properly. The price point vs the quality was pretty much 1:1. Music choice makes me think the owner is probably in his mid 30s since it has pretty much every major hit from the 90s. Overall really great experience, glad a friend recommended it to me.

Delicious ramen! Very customizable. The photo is of the chosun ramen.Food: 5/5

Great ramen options, definitely recommend it!Food: 5/5

Good Tonkotsu Red ramen. The broth is delicious and the chashu was tender. The pieces were a bit thick / inconsistent cut and the noodles were just a little over cooked.  Overall, though, the flavors were great and the portions perfect. Orion can of beer to compliment.  Also, really good music vibes. They were playing Tribe when I entered. This basement level restaurant is a great environment. To chill and slurp noodles.  I’ll be back.
