Mashumen

I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Mashumen. While the food was good and satisfied the craving, the service is what would bring me back. The staff is genuinely kind and makes you feel right at home. It's great to have a spot in C-ville where the team is so consistently friendly.

Absolutely outstanding. Fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared dishes with warm, attentive service. Mashumen sets the standard for Japanese dining in Charlottesville. Highly recommend.

We stopped in late evening, on our way to the Amherst area. Both my husband and I thought ramen would hit the spot. I’m a vegetarian and the language barrier was definitely a slight issue, since I didn’t know how to express my likes and dislikes.

I think I just had my most delicious meal ever at this place. The virgin mango margarita and mango smoothie were incredible. The tonkatsu Ramen was incredibly delicious and a visual masterpiece.

Mashumen was ok. I had a craving for ramen and this was the closest place for a quick lunch run. I ordered to go and the service was fast. For me the broth was bland or watered down. The menu selection was vast and next time I would like to sit in instead of carryout. I found parking a little tricky, located around back.
