Chaplin's RestaurantB

1501 9th St NW, Washington, DC 20001 · Japanese restaurant, Asian restaurant, Cocktail bar · Shaw

Creative ramen and cocktails with lively Shaw energy; strong flavors and late hours shine, but service speed, automatic 20% service fee, and occasional safety/consistency concerns temper enthusiasm.

Our take

Chaplin's delivers solid neighborhood dining with strong food quality anchored by standout curry ramen and creative cocktails, but inconsistent execution and recent food safety concerns prevent a higher grade. Service speed challenges on busy nights and tight seating further limit appeal, though loyal regulars and late-night availability keep it competitive with respected local favorites.

One caveat: Service delays and missed items during peak times; some floors appear understaffed
