"I am so glad I chose to visit this restaurant on the last day I was in town. I saved the absolute best for last. Otherwise, I would have never been to any other restaurants in the area. What an amazing experience!It doesn't say it's an izakaya style restaurant, but the menu and restaurant set up feels like one. As you enter, there is a full bar to the left where they craft some pretty awesome cocktails. As you walk in further, you'll see the large sushi bar area that has a good amount of seating around it. The menu has all kinds of kitchen and sushi appetizers as well as hibachi, noodle dishes, and specialty sushi rolls. I even saw omakase and Korean dishes. I didn't see any yakitori on the menu, so I guess it's not an izakaya. It could definitely be one if they added it. The lunch special menu (Mon-Fri) has a BYO bento for $17 with lots of yummy choices as well as sushi lunch specials. I'd be there often if I lived in Rosslyn.I don't see their drink menu online, but they have quite a selection. It was a tough decision because all the cocktails looked good. I went with the Summer Punch because I prefer rum over vodka. It was a wonderfully refreshing drink that had Bacardi dragon berry rum, passion fruit, ginger, and other flavors. It was perfect!I knew I wanted ramen. They have so many different options with quite a few being hot spicy. The Toryumon Tantan ramen was calling my name. I asked Terri about the spice level, and she was super helpful in answering my questions. I was so happy with this decision. I'm still thinking about that heart warming bowl of ramen. Seriously the best tantan based ramen I have ever had. Even the ramen egg was amazing. It had a good amount of minced pork and noodles. You can get an extra ball of noodles for $2 more but it wasn't needed. The tonkatsu broth was spicy (but not overly spicy), and had red peppers and leeks. It was the right amount of heat for me, and it definitely had a kick. It's what I needed to clear my mind after a long day... and my sinuses. What I love is that you can make your bowl extra rich by choosing your pork fatback level. I didn't need to do that. It was perfect the way it was. But, I have never seen that before at other ramen spots.Well, I wish I had more trip days in Arlington so that I could try the sushi as well. The service and quality of the food also won me over. This won't be my last visit. The restaurant is located on Wilson Blvd. Just a couple of blocks from the Hyatt Centric. Don't hesitate when booking a hotel here in Rosslyn. I can't wait for another trip to this area just so that I can revisit Toryumon."
