I'm a huge K-drama fan and visiting a place like this has been on my bucket list for ages. The restaurant offers a wide variety of ramen noodles and toppings to choose from. The ramen machine is easy to use, and the friendly staff are happy to guide you through the process. The place is clean, and if you're a noodle lover, it's definitely worth a try. I had an exciting experience, and I think you might too!

A make-your-own ramen bar! Great selection of Korean ramen, with a topping bar, bulgogi, drinks and desserts. This was our first visit and the staff were great. Helped us navigate the wall of ramen noodles, showed us how the noodle cookers worked, and made it a great experience. Definitely returning to this fantastic noodle bar.

I usually don’t leave reviews, but this is easily my favorite place to eat ramen with my boyfriend. The staff is incredibly kind and welcoming — Eva always helps us whenever we come in and genuinely takes the time to talk with us. The ramen and toppings are always fresh and well stocked, and the atmosphere feels warm and authentic. 10/10 would definitely recommend.

Stopped by Ramyun Zip in Chantilly because the kiddos were craving noodles and honestly… such a solid spot. The place was super clean, which is always a win, especially when things got a little wild during the rush. Shoutout to the staff, because they were AMAZING. Even when it got chaotic, they were helping everyone, staying calm, friendly, and somehow keeping things moving without losing their minds (or their smiles). Respect. And it’s not just ramen. They also have chicken bites , and don’t skip the boba tea or smoothies —both were really good and hit the spot despite the below freezing temps outside. Great food, great people, and a clean space. Definitely coming back (probably way too often).

It’s great for the experience. You can definitely make this at home but it’s the friends that you go with and the experience that makes it unique. Definitely seems expensive for one pack of ramen but I enjoyed it. Usually I try not to reach for ramen but coming here made me want ramen again. And their Kimbap was so good!!!

Had a great time visiting Ramyun Zip. Felt like walking into a Korean convenience store. The staff is extremely polite and friendly. There's a wide variety of ramen packets and I was surprised to see vegan options (a shelf full of them). We opted for the unlimited toppings and the bowl was delicious; we ended up buying packets to-go.

I heard so much about this place that I had to try it. As soon as you enter there is a wall of ramen. Its almost overwhelming. There is a fridge on the right with cold drinks of all sorts and cooled desserts. A nice lady welcomes you and asks is this your first time. Yes it was. She says pick a ramen then decide which toppings you want. It's $1 a topping or unlimited toppings for $3. You can buy other items like wings. The toppings bar has a host of toppings: onion, green onion, cheese, tofu, beef sausage, sprouts and more. You can also get an egg. You ask the cashier if u want one. There are several machines lined up to make your soup. I was kinda nervous at first not wanting to do it wrong. There are no waiters, or waitresses it's a self serve. You clean up after your meal is complete. They have a strainer if you have leftovers then you place your bowl in a stack next to the strainer. All the rest goes in the garbage bin and the tray stacks on top of the bin. Nice visit. I wanna go back to try other flavors.

This was my first time here and I really enjoyed myself! They have a wide selection of noodles separated by level of spice and even some vegan selections. It was super easy to make and the staff were very helpful. They also continued to clean behind customers as they leave to ensure the cleanliness off the restaurant. My kids also enjoyed the mini picture booth(you can get 2 free mini pics) and claw grab machine. Will definitely be coming back :)
