I've been a few times before, it's about 75mi from home, and every time it's been wonderful. My sister and I went tonight and I had tori shoyu ramen and a spicy kani roll, she had the ramen soup and tiramisu. Food was incredible, service was prompt, atmosphere very relaxed. I always recommend it to friends when they visit cville. Thank you! Gochisousama deshita. Mata kimasu!

This is a hidden gem! One of those small local restaurants that you discover once and keep coming back. They have best miso soup in Charlottesville! Either a cup or a bowl, I was delighted. Noodle bowls live quite up to their depiction on the web site, true to size and taste. What deserves special note is sushi rolls, generously sized, made with very fresh fish, and artfully served (Samurai roll on the photo, with very tender salmon pieces on top and seared tuna inside, it was great).

Mashumen is the best ramen you can expect from a place the size of Charlottesville, and I would call it the best in town as well. As of 2023, their sushi menu has seen a big boost as well. There’s all the standard appetizers and a decent selection of ramen types. The ingredients are up to par and they are numerous. You can order alternatives to the noodles in the special order request (we did take out) with no problem. Overall, the best ramen experience within a 2 hour drive.

I was traveling south I64 and searched for a Ramen place near an exit in Charlottesville and with good reviews. This was absolutely the best Ramen I have ever had. The portion was huge and had enough left for 2 more meals when I got home. They had lots of options for extra toppings too. More than I've seen at other ramen restaurants. The hostess was very nice. The restaurant was nice and clean. When I go that way again, I will be stopping there for more Ramen. I had Tonkatsu ramen with several…
