RVA Foodie Spotlight: Reuben & Mushroom Ramen

John Reinhold | November 6, 2020

Topics: #eatdrink, #rvafoodie, desserts, eats, Richmond Vegetarian Festival, rva food, rva foodies, sticky rice, sushi, vegan


If there’s any activity our RVA Magazine team loves unanimously, it’s eating. And of all the dishes in the world, nothing tastes quite as good as the ones made right here in the River City. 

So in the spirit of eating ourselves into food comas in Richmond, we’re spotlighting our favorite local restaurants each week with the best #RVAFoodie finds around town. We’ll be searching weekly for the best of delicious local food in our community, from amazing restaurants to chefs, food trucks, pop-ups and more. Here’s a few close-to-home favorites this week to follow on Instagram. 

If you’ve got an awesome restaurant to spotlight, reach out to [email protected]! Support local, RVA!

#SASHIMIBUCKET YaYas is a new find that looks to bring amazing sushi and drink creations in a hip fun setting. Check out what else we found below – had to include this classic smoke drink!

@theanswerva

#RAMENCHICKEN The Answer Brewpub is a home away from home type of spot for us. They of course have some of the best and most creative beers. Don’t miss our on the amazing food either, get a wake and bacon for the win.

@rootsnk (in Charlottesville)

#TOFUSALAD Empowering people through food! Root natural kitchen has a great mission along with great foods. Make sure and check out daily plans, and throw some support their way.

@Stickyricerva

#SUSHI We have missed Sticky Rice. Need our sushi fix badly, and need my tots and sauce while I m at it.

@beauvineburger

#CLASSICBURGER Beauvine makes a really good handcrafted burger. Its a classic with amazing fries to boot.

@pearlsbakeshoppe

#PEANUTBUTTERPIE Pearls makes some of the best cakes and desserts around Richmond. They can also deal with all allergies and needs when making something special. You can also just go in and see whats in the case daily. Never disappoints.

@nightingaleicecream

#ICECREAMSANDWICH Chances are you have had one of their dank creations. This little lover above has chocolate and coffee, its cute and packs a punch.

That’s all for this week’s #RVAFoodie. See you next week, Richmond!
