Ordered spicy pork Ramon. Very tasty. Also the pork belly fun was great. And mont blanc cake was delicious, fresh and soft. We are definitely coming back.

This is a small, authentic ramen shop owned by Japanese people from Sapporo. All ramen shops I’ve been to in Japan are cozy like this shop. I got the Sapporo ramen. The broth is rich and flavorful. It is a little salty, but I like salt so it’s ok. The egg costs extra but is just the way I like it, soft boiled and marinated in soy/mirin. I thought there could be more pork, there’s only one piece. You can ask for additional pork, but it costs more. Service is quick and friendly. I found parking on the street easily. I wouldn’t drive super far out of my way to come here, but it was good.

I always have a delicious experience here. The ramen is the best I have found on the east coast so far. The noodles are yummy and the broth is flavorful Ren's is a small mom and pop kinda place and they won't seat you till all your party is present. They have some great specials so check out the special menu on the board, special drinks, toppings and ramen. Can't go wrong with this place!

Born and raised in Japan, I’d eaten ramen from all over Japan. This place, is one of the most authentic place you can find in DMV area. Don’t let the appearance fool you - the soup, the noodle are very much like what you would find in mom-pop places in Japan. Of course I wouldn’t say this is the best I ever had, but this place definitely takes me back home through its authentic dishes. They do Hokkaido miso ramen better than some places in Tokyo. This place also has Champon, which is a staple in Nagasaki where I’m originally from. Again, Ren does better job than many of the places where they served Champon in Tokyo. Their Gyoza is legit too. Just like the ones you find in ramen places in Japan. 1000% recommend to those who wants authentic Japanese ramen.
