Reviews
Authentic Ramen
Great place for authentic Japanese bowl of ramen. The soup is the type that has been slow cooked for many hours until it is opaque and the pork is tender and falls apart. You can order the soup to be lean or extra fatty - more fat, more f...
Tonkotsu
Probably one of the best Japanese ramen place outside of Japan I've had. Small store but ran by Japanese people, following the proper Japanese ramen making process. Get the Tonkotsu soup with harder noodle and Extra rich soup. That's the...
Hopelessly Inept Service
I can't say if the ramen soup is good here or not, as the complete ineptitude of the staff caused me to give up waiting for it after being in the restaurant for about 45 minutes, and this is at, like 3 O"CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON! It seems with 4 people working in the ki...tchen, and NO ONE ELSE IN THE RESTAURANT, they were still able to forget to start my order. I finally realized that my food wasn't coming and got my money back, then went to Fu Lin for ramen instead, which is probably the same thing for a dollar less. Why is noodle soup with a little bit of meat in it $7 anyway? The ingredients only cost, like 39 CENTS! A bowl of Pho that's full of beef is a much better value, and I would recommend that over dining here.
Decent bowl of noodle
The place is tiny and has only maybe 8 tables overall, so usually you need to go next door to the Uwaiji foodcourt to eat. A typical bowl of noodle is about $7...and can go up to $10 if you want to "level up" (additional pork slices/flavored egg/cup of rice on the side/...etc) I tried the pork/chicken broth which was good but a bit too rich for my taste. The noodle however was very yummy! Chewy, just the way I like 'em! The spicy pork rice dish however wasn't anything special so no need to try it.
Best ramen in Seattle
My fiance and I have been going to Samurai Noodle since it opened. We were so happy to finally be able to get good ramen which has been in short supply since we left Tokyo. The only drawback is that they don't have Miso ramen yet which is one of our favorites. I also th...ink that they've started to cook their noodles a little bit longer than they used to, but you can still ask for firm/extra firm noodles and they come out great. The broth is rich, the portions generous, the toppings flavorful. \t\n\t\nI can't help but wonder if those who feel this ramen is bland are overly used to heavily MSG'd and salted broth. This ramen won't taste like a packet of Top Ramen...nor should it. I also feel compelled to point out that the two one star reviews below were written on the same day and I assume by two folks who were eating together. I'm not sure what their expectation or idea of good ramen is, but I can't agree with their recommendation about Teuchi Ramen. I've also eaten at Boom Noodle on Capital Hill and can't say I would go anywhere else besides Samurai Noodle.
Best Ramen in Washington!
Samurai noodle has the best ramen ever!\t\nI recommend their pork ramen+flavored egg and tetsu max (for those who can stand spicy), with firm noodle.\t\nyum!\t\n
