I love this place. From the staff and ambiance, to the wonderful food they create. You can't go wrong with a bowl of ramen or their seafood boil. My favorite flavor is the butter garlic. It's always a special treat. I highly recommend it. I will go back time and time again. read more

Captain Crab & Ramen - Corn, shrimp, crab, mussels, clams, and sausage. - Ramen Near Me - Yakima, Washington

First time ordering here. Ordered combo # 4 paid 92 dollars. First off it was very skimpy for the price, potatoes were raw, bearly any mussels or krab legs, Had like 3 or 4 litlle pieces of sausage . The Quality of the seafood was horrible. Shrimp were mushy! This meal did not feed 4 of us. We were very underwhelmed. I would not recommend this place . Look elsewhere Yucky! read more

Constantly blown away by how good the food here is. I have dined here 5 times and I have yet to be disappointed. Got the combo #2 a few times and its perfect for 2 people to dine and have some leftovers as well. The cajun sauce is some of the best I've ever had, and I've eaten at many seafood boil restaurants from all over Washington. I got the ramen a few times as well and the garlic shoyu tonkotsu ramen is definitely my favorite as a lover of garlic. Very flavorful broth and meat. I always get the takoyaki as an appetizer and I love how they make it here. The service is great too. The food comes out relatively quickly and the server who is usually there when I go is always doing her best. The only thing I suggest is that they hire more servers for when it gets really busy. 10/10 best seafood boil and ramen in Yakima. The pictures I added do not do this food justice, it is so good. read more

Great food and wonderful service. Always good food, ambiance is wonderful and they offer a wide(r) selection to pick from.

Absolutely don't recommend! 1. Terrible service - we waited over 10 minutes before even being acknowledged and seated. And no, it wasn't busy. 2. Food - how do you mess up cajun fries? Ordered the seafood combo #4, among other things, and this is probably the worse seafood I've had due to quality, flavor, and being overcooked. 3. Asked for check and waited over 15 minutes to get it; so decided to pay at the cashier because we were ready to go - it was COLD inside. They failed to let me know that a self imposed 20% tip had already been charged so I unknowingly tipped them an additional 15%. I only tipped because I have family members who work in the food industry, not because it was deserved. 1 star for their ramen, it was actually ok. Definitely won't be returning or recommending to anyone. read more

2nd time here, the spicy ramen was delicious the first time. It lacked flavor on the second visit and the waitress took forever to attend with only us and 1 more customer. read more

Very good portions and good food.A lot of variety as well. Five stars read more

Shittiest restaurant ever. I went in with some friends. And waited for almost 20 minutes but nobody came to even greet us gave us a time. There were tables open too but no response whatsoever. I also went to front table to ask for table but they were dodging me the whole time. Wouldn't recommend to anyone. read more

We ordered shrimp meals with cajun seasoning which were just ok and also ordered fish and fries. The fish was terrible. We could not eat it. Atmosphere is ok. Is in a strip mall. Staff friendly. read more

I'm debating between a 3 and a 4 as my rating, but ultimately decided on a 3. It's not bad ramen/Japanese foods, but it's far from authentic. The noodles themselves are pretty basic and am sure it is packaged of some sorts. I also had the chowder fries which were probably just frozen fries and a can of chowder poured on top. Yummy but nothing special. Ultimately, it is a nice joint especially in Yakima, but a little on the expensive side for the quality and taste of food. read more

Came to Captain Crab and Ramen in Yakima on the way from Ellensburg. The restaurant is small but has plenty of seats for small and big groups. This is my second time visiting this restaurant because everything I had tried here is pretty good, such as their takoyaki, pork buns, chicken karaage and their ramen is good, the ramen broth is very flavorful and the ramen is cooked well. While all their food is enjoyable, their service could be better, unfortunately during both visits, it took us a whole hour for our table to get the food. read more

We have been super excited about going to this place since it opened, and we finally had a date night opportunity to go check it out. We found another awesome addition to the culinary scene in the area! The combination of Ramen and Creole food in the same place was not something that we would have ever put together, but somehow it works very well. This place is sort of like a Ramen House on Capitol Hill and the crab pot had a baby and it decided to settle in Yakima. It's a huge win for the area! We were very much in a Ramen type mood so that's where we focus their attention. They have some really good options, including traditional chicken broth, a really good pork broth, and a few vegetarian options. We sampled the spicy Ramen as well as the garlic Ramen. Both were very good, but our award goes to the spicy. It had a pork-based broth that was incredibly deep rich, with a really good flavor that made me want to just order a glass of it. The noodles were excellent, the soft boiled egg done perfectly, and the array of vegetables within complemented it just right. The pork and chicken were good, but not great - as the low point they set a high bar! We also tried one of the Japanese pork rolls. It to was very good, and definitely something we would order again. The ambience of the place is very nice. There's plenty of tables, as well as a true Ramen bar where you can sit facing against a wall and enjoy your delicious bowl of heaven in relative peace and isolation. All in All, this spot is a must hit up and will only get more satisfying as the weather gets colder. Well worth your time to check it out! read more

My boyfriend took me here for a dinner date and let me told you, I highly recommend this place if you are a ramen lover like me. The food was amazing and satisfying and if you are in the Yakima area i would recommend this place . The Service was amazing. As soon we walked into the restaurant, we got seated and the waitress was very friendly and nice. I will be going back as soon as i get back to Yakima.. read more

Got there early and was the only there. Service was great and was greeted with a smile. I ordered the spicy (mild) ramen for lunch and the dashi was tasty and the portion was good. A little more veggies would be nice. The restaurant was clean with the appropriate decor. read more

I love Tofu. The spicy Chilled Tofu appetizer and veggie ramen are delicious. Great value for your money.

Unfortunately I didn't have a great first experience at Captain Crab & Ramen. I ordered the spicy ramen, chicken karaage, and pork bun. They use chili oil to spice the ramen which is always a peeve of mine. I might as well order garlic tonkatsu and add the chili oil that's on the table myself. However, that being said everything else about the ramen was delicious. The chashu was cooked perfectly and the broth was rich. One other thing to note is the soft boiled egg was on the harder side but that may have been from sitting in the hot broth a little longer. The pork bun was ok. I think they just use the same chashu that comes in the ramen. The most disappointing part of the meal was the chicken karaage. I thought they may have just not known how to cook karaage but then when I looked at previous reviewers photos- I noticed it looked spot on. See my photo. It speaks for itself. Will I be back? Of course. The only ramen spot in Yakima- I'm coming back to try every ramen option until I find my niche. Also want to hit up those crawfish. Such a great addition to the Yakima restaurant scene! I'm hoping to improve my star review on my next visit! read more

Food was delicious! Drove in from out of town and was looking for a quick bite. I ordered the garlic ramen with a mild spice and a pork belly sandwich. Both were super yummy and flavorful. They are also the only place that is open a bit late compared to everything else in the area. read more

After waiting a month to give Captain time to work out the kinks, train staff, and get a decent par level on food for their customers... it's was time for a review! Parking is not a problem as there is a parking lot right outside the front door and more parking by the gas station. I feel WAY more safer parking a car in this parking lot than that of the lot downtown. Seating inside is enough for 60 patrons! Seating is on plush comfortable chairs. The staff are AWESOME!! They were super friendly, offered suggestions on what is popular and what they liked. The water was never low or empty. With that out of the way, it's time to talk about why we chose Captain this evening. Ramen noodles!!!!! We had the 10 piece chicken karaage, which is a battered fried chicken that came with a spicy mayo based dipping sauce. I also ordered the Chicken Rich Ramen which was SPECTACULAR! Ramen noodles, boiled egg, chicken, all in a broth that I could live the rest of my life on. The flavors of each mouthful was a puzzle. A puzzle in a good way, each having its own complex shape or flavor. The whole bowl led to the bigger picture pretty quick... I was stuffed! I chose not to eat the crab and fish foods off the menu as I do not fancy that type of food. I would totally go back and give more ramen dishes a try though. Oh, In keeping tradition with many of my reviews, we visited on a Wednesday evening. From the time I ordered to the time the food was in front of me took 15 minutes 20 seconds. read more

Finally something new and original in Yakima! For real, this is a one of a kind spot. I enjoy watching people on YouTube travel and eat, and after watching mikey chen get ramen bowls many times it has always been a dream of mine to try and actual bowl from a real ramen restaurant; I'm glad my wait it over because I will be going back often. read more

This place wasn't bad, especially for Yakima! It's the closest thing to authentic ramen that you can find in a 1hour radius. It was pretty empty so service was fast. The clam chowder fries were just French fries with clam chowder poured over it.. overall I would come back again for a bowl of ramen. read more

Captain Crab & Ramen - Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Yakima, Washington

If you're REALLY hungry, I recommend just going to the grocery store next to this "ramen" shop. I got the Garlic Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen. The broth had very little flavor (definitely wasn't made properly), the noodles were slightly better than top ramen, and the "soft" boiled egg?! The soft boiled egg was nearly a hard boiled egg and it was cold. Plus charging $1.50 for an extra HALF an egg?! It doesn't make sense why you wouldn't get an entire egg for that price. I would love for this place to succeed, but the broth needs to be improved greatly, and better ingredients need to be used for the price that is being charged. This place will only do well if they actually learn real ramen recipes, and greatly improve their ingredients. I got very excited when I heard that a ramen shop was coming to Yakima, but unfortunately this was a huge let down. read more

This was pretty standard stuff...we got three ramen bowls, octopus fritters and pork buns. The standard veggie ramen was alright, but the spicy broth in the spicy chicken ramen was pretty tasty! read more

I'm not a fan of ramen but the ramen here is actually good. I usually come here for their snowcrab combo, really enjoy. My only complaint is the atmosphere, just doesn't feel comfortable enough. Maybe they need to switch up their decor a bit, change the tables and the lighting would be a start. read more

The chicken ramen and rich chicken ramen is great!! Been here twice now and will continue to come back for the ramen!

Just ordered through DoorDash from here and I can't believe I paid over $56 (before DoorDash tip) for a seafood combo that only had 3 mussels, 6 clams, and a little bit of shrimp. read more

La sopa está muy buena! Creo que es la mejor que he probado, la recomiendo quizás no es para todos solo para personas que conocen!

Went here shortly after they opened. Staff was friendly and checked if I was okay often even though they were very busy. Food was awesome. The Miso ramen was flavorful and savory, the chicken karaage was extremely juicy and tender with a crunchy outside. Takoyaki was similar with expertly cooked octopus. The pork bun was tender and practicality melted in my mouth. I hope this place sticks around, it's homey, unique, and delicious and just what Yakima needs! read more

Captain Crab & Ramen - Menu - Ramen Near Me - Yakima, Washington

It's pretty amazing to have a proper ramen shop here in Yakima. The decor/atmosphere is nice, the place has been recently remodeled. The food quality is where this place really shines. I've tried both the spicy and miso ramen varieties. Absolutely delicious, exactly what you would expect from a "big city" ramen joint. The staff are very friendly but the service could use a little fine tuning. For example I had to wait for the server to grab utensils after getting the food, and she didn't ask how the food tasted. Minor stuff I'm sure they'll figure out as they go. Edit: Went back and they had the utensil thing ironed out. read more

Love this place. I always get the combo 1 (shrimp, clams, mussels, potato, sausage, corn) spicy and Cajun with a side of white rice. It is so good every time. It's not cheap but good seafood boils are never cheap. Worth the price! read more
