Ramen by UZU

Japanese dishes offered at restaurant.


Bowl of ramen served at Ramen by UZU.
When Ramen by UZU’s founder Hiroaki Mitsui moved from Japan to D.C. to pursue semi-professional basketball, he was disappointed to find he couldn’t find a place serving the comfort foods he missed from home. In 2016, after suffering a knee injury, he transitioned to the restaurant industry and opened Ramen by UZU in D.C.’s Union Market serving his favorite Japanese dishes like okonomiyaki, curry, and, of course, ramen.
Enjoy a hand-crafted, steaming bowl of shoyu or miso ramen topped with pork loin, soft-boiled egg, nori, wakame, and more, or opt for a the cold sesame noodles instead— they’re equally delicious.
Tip: If you’re just looking for a quick snack, opt for their nikuman, a steamed BBQ pork bun served with yellow mustard.
