“Arashi is my go to ramen spot so far in WA. I have tried quite a few places here and I've had ramen in Japan and Hawaii. I would say Arashi is the most on par with the better of ramens I've had. It's my go to spot whether alone or with people for a cold day. The Ballard location is hard to find parking and quite small so I like this location in terms of parking and size. The main con is definitely how pricey it is for noodles. It's at-least around $20 a person but that garlic broth is just the best so far.“
“A very delicious Chinese spicy ramen shop.If you are a serious ramen fan, you will be disappointed here. But if you want to eat a bowl of delicious spicy noodles, this is definitely a good choice. Although the soup of spicy ramen is not full of umami, it really has the numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorns, which is really good. The barbecued pork noodle soup is also very delicious. Although the signature Malaysian fried chicken is also popular, I personally think it is too salty and drowns out other flavors. Even the spicy noodles have no taste at all.“
“We had a lovely lunch at this location. I wasn't familiar with the ordering process but it was explained to us. Service was great and friendly. The ramen was incredible. I ordered the classic vegan ramen with tofu and nori and the vegan gyoza. Everything was great! My husband and I aren't from the area and we actually wanted to make it back for a 2nd meal here but it didn't work with our plans. We still talk about wishing we could eat here again. We had so much good food on our Seattle visit and will most definitely make our way back Danbo when we visit again.“

“Every time we visit Bellevue, our family enjoys visiting this restaurant. The service is very friendly and quick. The ramen is consistently delicious, add-ons are generous and comes piping hot. Their appies and side dishes just as good. The manager is extremely accommodating to any dietary restrictions or questions you may have about the menu. The space is always clean and is very kid friendly. They can get quite busy as this location is quite popular. Will return!Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly dishes and atmosphere great for families.“
“Great place, the air hockey table is a great touch and the decor is very interesting! Drinks tasted good and were made quickly, and it was a great place to chat with a few friends! I had a Hong Kong lemon tea and can definitely recommend it!“
“Of all the places to get ramen in Capitol Hill, I find myself coming back to Kizuki quite regularly. The shoyu broth is less rich and creamy which I prefer more often. My only complaint is that the vegetarian ramen is more expensive than the meat ones—unfair considering the lowest cost of vegetarian ingredients.“
“Been wanting to try this place for a while, line is always long at peak hours! Today got their right when they opened for lunch. Chicken karaage was probably the best I've ever had, the spicy mayo sauce was great, definitely not just mayo and Sriracha. I got the hybrid dipping ramen - noodles were great, perfect chew. Broth was very tasty - not spicy at all, would maybe have liked a little more spice next time. Pork belly was nice and tender, very melt in your mouth. Would have liked a bit more caramelization on my piece. Staff very friendly. Fast service. I tried my friends tonkatsu broth - also great. Definitely top 5 ramen places in Seattle.“
“There isn't a lot of choice when it comes to sushi or Japanese food in general in West Seattle. Thankfully, Irashai is great. I routinely get sushi takeout from here - they're quick to fill the orders and the staff is always pleasant and friendly. The non-sushi part of the menu is also really solid. Glad to have this place close by for my sushi needs.“
“Our favorite Japanese restaurant on the east side. Some of our favorite items include the kabocha fried rice, chicken katsu dinner, mackerel / saba, albacore tataki salad, any of the sushi and tempura. It can get busy here for dinner on the weekend, so I suggest reservations.“
“Ramen and Teriyaki, you already know this place isn't going to be specialized in anything... but this place gets a 4 star from me due to convenience, fast, good service (its order yourself on tablet, then find your own seat), and value, value, value of food! Wow! You need to check out the portions on these teriyaki plates! Defintiely good for sharing. I had the spicy pork and beef bulgogi. Both was good in flavor, and still moist. Rice wasn't fluffy but it did its job. Comes with a great serving of the common lettuce salad and dressings and a small side of macaroni. Tasted great for a regular teriyaki place. My plate was $15.99! Very reasonable. Priced higher because I got the split option. My husband got the spicy chicken teriyaki for $12.99! What a deal!! Portions was just as huge. I tried the chicken, and it was a bit dry for my liking, but my husband said it's the Seattle way! And that it was how he liked it. Haha My kids got ramen! Their bowls were huge! Of course I tried it and it didn't pass my ramen standards as predicted. But my kids still loved it! It tasted not too bad for a non-dedicated ramen restaurant. Glad we got to try this place. Quick and easy meal. Very tasty. And oh so affordable. Sometimes you just need that!“
“Went there around 4pm Saturday but couldn’t find any parking for about 15 minutes. So we parked over the Downtown park.It was cute small place where you can eat variety of ramens, appetizers, and Japanese teas and soft drinks. They offer ramen combos too.We tried the most popular ramen- Shio and Shoyu. Shoyu is our favorite. Regular sized ramen comes with 2 slices of pork, and the small one comes with a slice of pork. Wish Ramen places had more meats in the ramens.Kid-friendliness: They offer kids menu“
“A hidden restaurant on the 2nd floor with excellent service and decent food. When we got it on a Friday evening it was relatively empty.I ordered the "Yakibuta Chahan" and "Spicy Cheese Fries." The chahan had a light flavor and you could taste mostly chicken + onion. The spicy cheese fries tasted like fries and cheese with a mild spice.What stood out to me was the service. They went out of their way to chitchat and regularly checked-in on us during the meals. It felt really welcoming.“
“Great food in a humbly sized, unassuming looking restaurant. Everyone was friendly and timely providing service. Best vegan ramen I have had since moving to Seattle. Absolutely worth checking out if you’re in the area, I look forward to returning.“
“Kizuki's Renton location is cute and cozy, with amazing food and great service. There's also a pick up window for convenient online ordering. The ramen was incredible with a rich broth and perfectly cooked tonkatsu, the matcha cold brew was spectacular, and the food was ready quite quickly. Kizuki definitely has some of the most authentic ramen, and they even have locations in Japan!“
“We had a lovely date night at this restaurant - stumbled upon it and were pleasantly surprised by their top notch service! Our server, Brandon, was very attentive and friendly. The host stepped outside to open the door for us on our way out. They made us feel like VIP customers! We tried their happy hour menu, and we look forward to trying other items on the menu!“
“Out of town from Oregon and decided to give this place a try. Parking was insane cause it was Valentine's Day so I had to drive around for 30ish min to find a spot nearby.The food was incredible. Well worth the wait! The waiter was super nice and extremely fast. I will so be coming back! ?“
“I ordered the tsukemen and the broth I was looking forward to, was very oily, didn't have any flavor; basically oily water. My husband ordered the tantanmen which he said that he enjoyed the broth and meat, but the noodles were chewy and not slurpable. Our waiter was amazing and at no fault for the way the food tasted.“
“The grapefruit salt clear soup is great, very suitable for people who don't like heavy flavors. The vegetables are not too rotten, the noodles are strong enough, the soft-boiled eggs are hard-boiled, and the bamboo shoots are crisp enough. It is a rare good restaurant and worth recommending.“
“They had a new system when we went in wherein you can call your server the same way you call a flight attendant on the plane. We weren't sure what the appropriate use of this would be - if we need a napkin? If we are ready to order or ready for the bill? The staff is very friendly and attentive, if somewhat slow - hard to say where the hold up is happening, could be in the kitchen, as there is only one person behind the stove.“
“We went here for a late lunch last week. We were immediately seated. Server was attentive and nice. We got the miso ramen, tempura rice bowl, the spinach gomae, the chilled tofu, chicken karaage, and edamame. The food came out relatively fast. My son loves this place, and he said that this place did not disappoint. My husband and I are don’t like ramen that much, so we got the side dishes. The food was good, however it was very salty and filling, especially the tempura rice bowl, that we did not eat dinner. Overall, nice place if you’re craving Japanese food at on the mall, but if you don’t like salty food, this place may not be for you.“
