- Cody L.April 22, 2017Delicious ramen with reasonable prices! But it's a small, but popular place so they may close early if they run out of ingredients!
- Ellen McGrodyJanuary 23, 2017Chili green onion. Don't miss out on this, it's bomb as heck. It's small and cozy and can get a bit crowded, but their take out is quick and the price is right.
- Serious EatsSeptember 9, 2013With three locations in Seattle, Samurai might make the best ramen in the area (Tonkotsu is especially popular)—on its good days
- Av0 c@doJanuary 24, 2016Small little Ramen house with awesome service! Order the Tonkatsu ramen w/ extra noodles and enjoy!
- Seattle MetNovember 9, 2011A clothes closet feels spacious by comparison, but this International District ramen-ya (along with its sibling on the Ave) is a near-perfect rendition of the tiny noodle shops of Japan. Read more
- Pricey, but there isn't many ramen places in Seattle. Make sure to arrive before noon if you don't want to wait as the small place fills up quick.
- Brian LockwoodJuly 28, 2013Quality of noodle is good but having had Ramen in Japan & China has led to disappointing experience, tiny details are missing making a world of a difference, 4 example Chive onions are cut to thick
- Mia A.April 16, 2018Small but comforting space. Bathroom could be improved. Prices are affordable. Personal faves are the Gyoza and Takoyaki.
- Tanya PhamMarch 4, 2013Best ramen in Seattle, but not the best I've ever had. Get the tonkotsu flavor and Samurai Armor to supplement. Service is fast but rude.
- Jack ReevesJune 1, 2015Soup is average but service is great and the staff is very welcoming and friendly. Cozy little spot.
- Shelah Anne "Marina" WooAugust 19, 2014Decent for a quick bite and craving, but overpriced. If you really want good ramen at a more fair price, hit up Bellevue for Kukai or Hokkaido--they also have better variety of toppings and sides.
- Jane HudsonAugust 5, 2011The Tonkatsu is #1 here for a reason. That pork broth is so rich and delicious. For a change order the Miso Ramen and fish cake.
- Get your Parking validated here if your car is at Uwajimaya. Basically makes it free to park for lunch time.
- The best tonkatsu I've ever had! The Tampopo ramen is the best though!
- If you're still hungry: save the broth and you can get more noodles for cheap!
- Best ramen in town. My fav is tonkatsu. Feeling extra hungry? Add armor: extra pork slices and an egg.
- Alex AlgardNovember 20, 2010The Shouyu ramen (chicken broth) tastes just as great as the Tonkotsu, except it's 300 calories less.
- Nat McCullyFebruary 1, 2014Noodles in my tonkotsu were over cooked. Both Goya and shumai were tasty but had cold spots. So attention to detail lacking.
- Jennifer MislinskiJanuary 15, 2013Ridiculously awesome pork broth...it got very quiet for a few minutes.
- Yu TangApril 14, 2016They used to be good. Not anymore. The noodle was too hard, The soup tonkatsu was super salty plus the extra egg I ordered was COLD! I was very disappointed.
- Extra noodles are nice, but extra pork is where it's at!
- Tampopo style with extra noodles! Shoulda took a pic before cause there was nothing left after.
- Samurai Armor Bowl with Pork broth & hard noodles is the obvious choice here...
- Jeff ReguilonAugust 13, 2009enjoy the complimentary side order of shame when you ask to "pork up" your ramen.
