Had a great dinner here. The Chaplain Ramen tasted great for a shoyu Ramen dish. Service was good and the menus were interesting. It can fill up very fast so having a reservation isn’t a bad idea. The gyoza were good but I’d try them steam next time. Additions are decently priced and getting extra noodles acts as a double serving, which made it better. Would recommend a meal here.

This is one of our very good finds , one of my cousin suggested me to try their ramen and it was really the best . We came here on a snowy day when we r in perfect mood for ramen – bang was really good . We will definitely come back for chaplins spicy ramen , one of us ordered a veggie ramen to our surprise it was so good , the broth so fresh and flavourful . We would say chicken and shrimp dumplings , their fried vegetarian gyoza , Chaplin buns all tasted really good . Its location , good idea of Charlie Chaplin inspired theme , crowd was also good ,everything seemed perfect but they need to improve their service , their cocktails tasted perfect . Will definitely comeback but they need to improve their service as it is full on weekends and the staff are just 1-2 in the top floor that point needs to be addressed , so that we don’t feel it as delayed service .

This was such a great surprise! I was just hungry and walked by with my brother. I didn’t think this was a Ramen house. The food was fantastic. The drinks were fantastic. We might have been there during happy hour…. but the prices were quite reasonable. 100% would return!

Aaryn always takes such good care of us at brunch. Food is so flavorful… we always make sure we stop in when we’re in town!

Stopped in on Christmas night looking for a light bite and a good drink, and this place delivered perfectly. The bartender crafted a fantastic raspberry mezcal cocktail that paired beautifully with the Chaplin bao buns, exactly what I needed. This was my second visit, and once again, it did not disappoint. Great vibes, great flavors, and thoughtful service. I’ll definitely be back.

My first time at Chaplin’s and I loved it. My home girl kept telling me they have the best Ramen and I was skeptical but she was not lying. The food was really good. We split the Chaplin A.S.S. and shrimp gysoua. I also had ribs which were phenomenal, they went good with the Ramen as well. When I get back to DC I will be right there at Chaplin’s

Repeat diner here but tonight was a miss due to service. Requested sharing plates from the dish runner and was told yes but then they never came.
Service was generally slow as our waiter was also bartending (he was nice but we were left hanging at times. He also kindly gave us heads up that we should get food orders in ASAP as the kitchen was running behind. He was right — food took a while to come.)
What is frustrating is that the sign by the entrance says the mandatory 20% service fee starts April 6 but it was charged on our check on March 7.

On a whirlwind trip to DC my daughter and I happened upon Chaplin‘s Restaurant. We were seated quickly and enjoyed our dumplings and edamame immensely! There’s plenty of inside and outside seating and the atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Stop in and enjoy!

I visited DC Friday and made a reservation at this place the day before based on good reviews, it was also my 17th anniversary which was noted on open table and now I will tell you my experience with this place first time.
I arrived 15min before my reservation and have no problem being seated and I asked for outdoor seating and it was fine. For Friday night this place seems to be normal busy, what I mean by that is there are plenty of reservations open to book, and plenty of tables open but also plenty of people dining. The inside of the place seems nice but looked small and doesn’t seat that many people. Once we were sat down, we waited maybe about 8-10min before the server came to us for water and food. I already knew what we all wanted so I went ahead and order everything. The appetizers came out in about 10min which was fine, but this is where it started to go wrong with this place and my service.
First the only two main dish that needs to come out after the appetizers was the actual ramen and chicken curry rice, let me tell you we sat there for 40min before the server named Tony come out and ask if we ever got our food, are you seriously asking me this questions right now? I said no and he went to check, I can tell you either the order didn’t get out in or something happened, I can tell you he wasn’t doing his job because if he had the food would had come out way before 40min. When the food finally came out he said sorry they were backed up, I know he was lying because it’s not, other people came later already got their food. This is where I would rate the service at 1 star, the reason I still give this place a 2 stars is because the ramen is good, everything else is just meh and everyone agrees.
The Chaplin buns, the bun are hard and dry not soft, seems old and rushed heating up. The chicken yakisoba is using the wrong noodle, it was too soft and too sweet, it’s not the correct yakisoba. The fried chicken is probably the most edible appetizer out there that taste decent. The ramen is about the only main dish that is why people come to this place to eat, the noodle is fresh, broth is good. The chicken katsu curry tasted too sweet, the chicken wasn’t cut into the correct portion. I am not sure why so many things went wrong, it is the first time I came down here and in DC and this was the first place I picked for my family and it turned out to be a disappointment. People there doesn’t seems to happy working there and seems to be putting up a fake smile, also when I received my check the server told me the 20% tip was already added to my poor service and no where said that it would. This place I would not come back and not recommend, being a foodie and eaten many places all over the world, this place is just not it.

Great food, fun atmosphere, really enjoyed. The curry is spicy and has amazing flavor. Really appreciate that they are open late and don’t close their kitchen early, only found this place after trying two other places where the kitchen closed earlier than their sign said and was so happy this was still open at almost midnight. Will be coming back, highly recommend.
