I am a serious ramen freak and Kizuna is the best option I have found in NOVA (there are a couple good ones in DC, too). Their tonkatsu broth is the real deal — deep, rich, and creamy. They also offer a number of other...options, including chicken and miso broths, and low-carb shiritaki noodles, with a range of add-ins from which to choose. In addition, they have an extensive sushi menu with inventive and original rolls and the appetizers are all fabulous. The takoyaki and gyoza are my favorites, but you cannot go wrong here. My only criticism is the lighting. Unfortunately, they have installed bright overhead LED lights that make the entire space harsh and uncomfortable. I will never understand why restaurants fail to understand how important the ambiance is to their customers. The best and most successful restaurants use warm ambient lighting. No one wants to eat dinner feeling like they might be interrogated.More
