Foo Dog

The Bao Wow buns are popular for a reason! We've had them the last three times we've come in and they're always 10/10. The Chinese ramen is delicious. The kimchee fried rice was good but frozen veggies and not super crispy were a minus. Mixed drinks can be hit and miss but the beers and ciders on draft are always decent. If you're in the Fan District and looking for a new dinner spot, Foo Dog will do just the trick.

A weeb paradise with anime playing on the projector, but make no mistake the food is a One Punch knockout. The bao wow (buns) pack a huge punch with soft and delicate buns and flavorful plum sauce over tender pork belly. I got the Japanese Ramen with Chasu pork, the addition of seaweed and mushrooms added a saltiness balanced by the creaminess of the yolk from the egg (+$1). My fiancé got the Malaysian style Ramen with shrimp, the broth was gorgeous and highlighted coconut milk and lemongrass. It was eloquently balanced, the shrimp was grilled off a skewer and paired well with this particular style of Ramen. You'll be pleased with your dish, the service, and the upbeat environment that fills the restaurant. I'd be remissed if I didn't mention the music playlist was excellen. Say hi to Katie for us!

Absolutely love the menu of this place, super creative, unique, eye-catching and hearty. I really wish I could’ve gotten everything, it all looked soooo good. And at an amazing price, too! Everything pretty cheap, which makes this place the perfect balance of super awesome, unique food at an affordable price in a chill environment. I only barely stepped inside the restaurant to get my food, but the atmosphere felt cool and the little service I did get was polite and fast. Really can’t think of any complaints, this place is a very unique Asian restaurant that has a mix of Korean to Thai and everything in between, which is super fun to have an option for. Would definitely come back and recommend to others!

Looking for super tasty Asian street comfort food? Look no further. I've been here no less than 20 times and have never been disappointed. All the apps are fun and tasty. A nod towards the gyoza, squud, and Shazam shrimp. All the Ramen is fantastic but our favorite is the Malaysian style. Soft boil egg is a must. It's always affordable here and the week day specials are sometimes awesome. Cocktails are made strong and refreshing. Go here if your visiting Richmond. It's a classic in the VCU area. Not fancy... but darn good.

Absolutely amazing. I got the fried tofu and the Malaysian style ramen. It was the best tofu and ramen I have even had. The flavors were perfect, and the ramen had just enough spice to have the flavor but not be over the top. Prices were well within reason. If you're passing through here it is a must visit!

The food overall was good especially the Bao buns. The atmosphere is nice, there’s cool art and reasonable prices. We tried the Japanese Ramen and Malaysian Ramen. Both broths were excellent however, the “cha shu” pork was a bit too fatty so it was hard to chew thus not being able to even eat most of it and the chicken was too dry. Would’ve been nice if the pork had some crisp to it at least.
