Ramen Spot: Authentic Japanese Ramen Experience in Richmond

Best ramen spot I have been to. Good portion and good price and close to my dorm. I would recommend to people who are freshman and want ramen to come to this place.

Yesterday, my sister brought me to this great ramen place that she had been to before. I wasn't let down - it was the best ramen spot I've ever went to. The service was fantastic, a solid 10/10 rating. The food was amazing, but the Cha-Shu buns were truly outstanding! I would absolutely go back there, and I highly recommend it to anyone!

This place was outstanding! My daughter had a VCU orientation and found this spot while I was walking around and it did not disappoint!!! I had the lunch special Tonkotsu Ramen with fried rice OMG I wish we had this place in Chesapeake! The two waitresses (Katie & Sabrina) were very polite and attentive! This was the closest feeling I got to being back in Japan ! The food had me feeling like I was back in Yokosuka Japan!!! Great food and great service!

We randomly spotted this place yesterday and decided to go there for lunch. My husband and I both lived in Shanghai for 11 years and the city has many great Japanese restaurants. So far in Richmond we've been having some troubles finding good Japanese spots. This ramen place reminded me so much Japanese spots in Shanghai. Everything we ordered was great, and they served it incredibly fast. The atmosphere was so cozy there, I don't know, I felt really comfortable there. And the background music was so pleasant. It's a decent, affordable place and we would definitely return here again.

Let me cut to the chase! The fried crispy shrimp was my favorite! It was paired with a slightly sweet and tangy dipping sauce. The Ramen Spot has a pretty large menu but I do believe there is something for everyone! The beef curry was pretty good too. The potato cakes were a bit heavy for my taste personally but they were a nice first try.

I got a lunch special tonkotsu ramen and it came with tako yaki. The tako yaki was really good, fried to perfection with a sweet , salty taste. The ramen wasn't the best I've had. The egg was slightly overcooked, just one slice of pork, and the noodles seemed a little off. The broth was decent, savory but not the best I've had. Staff was nice and relocated us from a high top to a table when it became available. Overall the lunch special for $13 is an amazing deal , you get some super amazing tako yaki and a decent bowl of ramen. I'd try it again during there lunch special hours. Food: 5.6 Staff/service: 7.5 Overall: 6.0/10

I am always suspicious of places on college campuses but Ramen Spot is and immediately my new fav spot. We got the pork buns, Kimchi pork fried rice, and three different ramens. All were amazing. I had the spicy miso ramen with an extra egg and it was mouthwatering. Can't recommend the kimchi pork fried rice enough either! Service was 12/10 and everything came out quickly even though their (relatively small) space was full. It's also easy to walk in and order/pick up to go. It's not lavishly decorated but who cares; it's cute enough and their food steals the show. This has been my fav Richmond surprise in a long time! Writing this review has made me want this food again tonight lol

This place was cranking out some ramen to go orders all while the small cozy restaurant was full! Fast & efficient service, wait staff was really kind and hardworking. We were in and out despite how busy they were and we didn't feel rushed or pressured to leave. Very impressed with this place. More impressed with the Cha-Shu pork based ramen. Flavor was there and I finished my whole bowl (with some regret when I left only because I was so full!!) Serving sizes are very appropriate for apps and dishes like the fried rice. Fried rice dish came with a side of miso soup as well. Loved this place !! 10/10 recommend to a friend
