"I got the lavender drink, And Spider bomb was sooooo good, After that I got yakitori the king oyster was incredible ask for ichimi for a little spices. I would really recommend kutsudon here. Definitely coming back and try different dishes. Music was so fun. It’s a combination Asian food. Recommend for Birthday party and special occasions"

"Service was great and our waiter checked in on us multiple times. Ramen was delicious and tasted very fresh! I brought my mom who is a picky eater and she enjoyed her drunken udon noodles very much!"

"This is a hidden gem that I recently discovered. What's better is there is a free parking garage nearby that I nevern knew existed. I used to avoid eating in that area because of parking but now I can go there more. How awesome is that?! I knew my wife wanted Japanese so I looked and found this this place. Service was very good in a place with a "friends come here to spend time together" feel. Food, which is what I care about, is great. I absolutely loved the pork belly bao buns (a "must try"). My wife had the Japanese curry with shrimp tempura while I had to try the drunken udon noodles, a unique take on a Thai dish (so good)."

"If you like Japanese street food, you'll definitely love this place! They have a variety menu. The most I like was takowasabi which is hard to find in Japanese restaurants in DMV The staff are very nice and helpful."

"We had an incredible experience at Ryu Izakaya, the newest restaurant on Columbia Pike. The ambiance is stunning, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the food is simply delicious. What I truly appreciate is their willingness to accommodate vegetarians/vegans with a diverse menu. Their selection of wines and sakes is impressive, making it a must-visit. I can't wait to return!"
