   Nice atmosphere (so much quieter than JINYA Ramen in Mosaic) and very good food. I liked that they served us tea and edamame as a complementary starter. The ramen itself has very aromatic flavors that balance together well - it feels nutritious just as it tastes delicious. They could definitely expand on their selection of ramen though.

   Nothing bad and nothing great. Just average.

   I've been waiting for an authentic Japanese ramen experience in the NoVA area for some time, and Marumen provides it. From quality, authentic food with an occasional twist to friendly (if sometimes absent minded) service, Marumen does ramen right in the shell of an old Pizza Hut. The food itself is solid, with rich, pork-based ramen stock complimenting well-textured noodles. The appetizers (I have tried the chicken karaage and chicharones) are also on point and great for sharing, or even as a meal for friends who aren't ramen fans. The service is always friendly, although the servers sometimes lose track of their tables, resulting in longer than average waits. The ambiance is decent and quirky -- the spots of anime and a faux Asian wall of wood planks don't do a lot to dampen the noise, but give a tongue in cheek nod to the space's former identity.

   A great addition to the Fairfax restaurant community. It is only ramen, but it is done well. You get a choice of broth and toppings so everyone will be satisfied. Their appetizers are great.

   The ramen was good and they did a good job making an old Pizza Hut look very modern. I ordered the spicy miso ramen with extra pork belly and the pork belly was very yummy. The waitress was very attentive, maybe a little over-attentive. She came to check on us, to the point that we felt pretty rushed (we still had a hr before they closed).
