I can't believe I've never left a review here. From Foo Dog to Main St Dragon this is a staple for my partner and I when we're in the mood for some comfort fusion food. Love that some of the menu items from Foo Dog transferred to Main St Dragon, in addition to some new menu items! They have a variety of cocktails/beer options along with sake. The miso grilled squid is our favorite app. The whole squid is grilled to perfection and covered in a sweet chili sauce. You can't go wrong with any of their noodle dishes but my go to is the Malaysian style ramen. It is incredible. The broth is creamy and savory with noodles cooked perfectly. I would avoid adding any meat/tofu except for the soft boiled egg. The meats are usually a little over cooked and tough but the eggs are muwah *chefs kiss* honorable mentions: Chinese style ramen, pad Thai, Chef Ken's chicken. The inside is cute and quirky, with a little anime vibe. I love their big booths and tables in the front windows. They have an heated outdoor seating area that is dog friendly. There is always plenty of street parking in the area

this is my go to! they have amazing drinks and daily drink specials. their food is very delicious, and i love that they've added more options since becoming Main St. Dragon. their service is quick and attentive. the employees are all very kind. my only critique is that they should decide how to portray themselves better. it seems that they try to appeal themselves to college students while also being family friendly, which can be a bit of disturbance. fridays and saturdays are their karaoke nights so beware that it gets loud and maybe dont eat out with family on those days. other than that i definitely recommend!

I came here on a rainy evening and was able to get a spot at the bar. It was busy but not 100% full on a Thursday evening (after regular dinner hours). The bartender was really friendly. I got the Malaysian style ramen and edamame. The ramen was delish + very filling. I was hungry so I ate the whole thing. Edamame was nothing special - I'd probably skip next time. It looked liked they had daily happy hour deals, as well. I liked the comics under the glass at the bar. I don't live in Richmond but it's a place I will come back to when I visit again!

I love the new owners. I also like that they reduced the prices. The food is quite tasty and exactly what you need on the night to warm you up. They have yummy bar list with interesting beers and cocktails. They were very nice happy hour that is I think every night.

This place has yet to miss a beat!! Service on point, drinks on point and food is banging!!! They are always busy but we were able to snag a seat as soon as we walked in!! Love the spooky season deco!!! Nice neighborhood vibe.

Great happy hour from 4-7! We order two large hot sakes, vegetable gyoza, pork gyoza and the boom boom shrimp for about $30. The gyoza were really delicious, perfectly pan seared and flavorful. The space is small but plenty of seating and I loved the outdoor patio space. The menu had a lot of ramens I'm interested in trying when it's no longer 90 degrees outside.

Yesterday's impromptu stop at Main St. Dragon may have resulted in a new favorite happy hour destination. I was not expecting to get two craft beers, an order of gyoza, and an order of bang bang shrimp for less than what I normally pay for two drinks nearly anywhere else. Everything we tried was delicious and at least a 4/5, but the star of the show was my entree, the stir-fry udon with shrimp. Our server was friendly, speedy, and attentive, and each of our food items came out less than 10 minutes after ordering. Perks of going on Friday at 6! Bang Bang Shrimp - - Very tasty, but the fried flavor is almost more present than the shrimp flavor. Was also expecting a bit more of a kick for bang bang shrimp! Pork gyoza - ¼ - Delicious! Very classic gyoza taste, especially paired with the sauce. What I would expect every time I order pork gyoza. Stir Fry Udon w/ shrimp - 1/2 - With some chili oil (available upon request) added, this dish was spectacular! I finished my whole portion that night! My only complaint is the $4 charge to add shrimp only adds 4 shrimp to your plate. Will be returning!

One of the kids was having a craving for ramen so we decided to pop in to this new cool eatery on Main Street. Plenty of seating. Hostess at the door to greet us immediately. We had menus, drinks, and put in orders for street food appetizers within minutes. Really cool lighted bar with counter seating. Big tv screens showing the always entertaining game show network as well as the current college basketball game. Very hip atmosphere. Big anime dragons painted on the walls. The pork fried dumplings were delicious. Not sure how different they would have been from the gyoza. The Japanese Style ramen was definitely fusion. It wasn't truly Japanese, but had a hint of five spice in it, giving a more Chinese twist on the broth. So much of a fusion twist that my daughter was not able to add it to her ramen ranking scale. The Japanese fried rice was good too. I enjoyed my Singapore curry noodles, but it definitely could have used a hint more curry. The Indonesian ramen was great. Had a nice hit of chili that burned at the base of your throat. Nice addition to the neighborhood.

Came in on a Thursday during the happy hour and ordered the Boom boom shrimp. The tempura batter was crispy but also soft and smooth that it melt in your mouth. Very good for an appetizer and you get it for $6 during the happy hour. For the main dish I ordered a spice Bangkok ramen with chashu pork and a soft boiled egg. Surprisingly this did not taste as taste good as last time. There was a certain umami taste missing. Soft boiled egg was overcooked. It wasn't the best ramen I got here but it was still fine and edible. Ramen came out to $16 and the shrimp appetizer was $6. Staff was friendly and checked up on us. Overall not the best food this time, perhaps an off day but I would still come back because of the variety of ramen style they have. Food: 5.6 Staff/service: 7.0 Value: 6.0 Overall: 6.0/10
