Daikaya - Feedback

I did not like the ramen from Daikaya when I tried it in 2019 so I was hesitant to go back to try the izakaya. My DC local friend raves about Daikaya and comes...

Came here to wait for my seat at Daikaya Ramen Shop next door. Super cute and dark ambiance with welcoming employees. I didn't get anything to eat, but I was re...

Originally, we wanted a table at the ramen shop downstairs. With a group of six and no table large enough to accommodate us, we decided to come upstairs for som...

Everything was just fine but it's definitely far from a real izakaya: I'm half Japanese and I can vouch for real Japanese spots, and this isn't one of em. BUT,...

A very hip place, dark/moody, slightly loud with music. We didn't make a reservation, but they sat as the ledge which eventually we moved over to the bar. Reser...

From Joseph, the skilled bartender, to the amazing dishes we ate, it was everything I could have wanted in an Izakaya experience. This is not a sushi place. Thi...

The vegetarian ramen bowl was perfect. Daikaya is a small space. I loved the people; the hostess, waiter and cooks! I was sitting at the lunch counter and in th...

Best Ramen on the East Coast! Can’t wait to go back. Impressive kitchen, fun staff, lines out the door but short wait and totally worth it. If you are in DC you...

Get there, put in your name and explore while you wait...the wait is worth it. Great food, fast friendly service and a killer playlist. A new favorite in the ci...

Incredible ambience, eclectic music, friendly staff and awesome food. It is a great place to decompress with great sake.

I would give this place ZERO stars if I could. They literally called me 5 minutes before our NYE reservation to let us know that they were out of menu items. Wh...

We hadn 't been to Daikaya Izakaya in some time, but I 'm happy to report that it is still excellent. The dishes were beautifully presented, and delicious. The...

Came from eating ramen from their other establishment, Bantam King, so we were too full to order a lot off the menu but what we did have was delicious and kept...

This was my first time in DC, and decided to try out DAIKAYA for the first time. I am so glad I did. I was in town to celebrate my birthday and the experience a...

My party of 3 made a reservation for dinner ahead of the Dave Chappelle concert. All was good while the place was nearly empty but once more than 12 customers s...

It was an ok experience, the cups of water were a little dirty with stuff in it. The ramen soup was full of flavors, but it was really salty. They were out of a...

Casual atmosphere... Fun with music And diners chatting. My Ramen was savory, the noodles were outstanding, and slightly chewy... In a good way. The broth was r...

Service was great. They lose a star because we did not get a detailed receipt. Just a total. We ordered a lamb chop in the beginning but it never came. When we...

This is a cool restaurant that also has an upstairs Izikaya bar where you can wait until your table is ready. The highballs upstairs tasted good and are made st...

Great atmosphere, and equally great food. Service was quick and prompt. The food was delicious. I can only speak for the ramen, but I added pork belly and it wa...

Easily the best bowls of ramen I have had in DC, and just anywhere in general.

Protip: Arrive an hour before you want to actually eat and go shopping.

One of the best ramen in DC! Their atmosphere is extremely urban and upbeatThe customer service is great and the ramen is delicious.
