Chicken Ramen
Tiffany Y.

Checked out this ramen place during a rainy day! They're still in their soft opening stage. They said they're going to have a full menu around the end of November (though check their website/social media presence for their actual update). Both the chicken and pork ramen were very yummy! Flavorful. The perfect amount of saltiness and savoriness.

Spicy chicken Paitan ramen

I'm excited that a ramen place has finally opened in Belltown. Came here during soft opening, so they only had 2 options to choose from. I ordered the truffle shantan ramen. I wasn't a fan of the raw onion. I did enjoy the noodles and enjoyed the broth. I added a slow cooked egg to my ramen, which was an extra addition. My husband ordered the spicy chicken paiten ramen. This ramen was also good with just the right amount of spice. Overall, I enjoyed our ramen here and would go back here.

Sidewalk signage (7/20/25)
Marie B.

The Homie and I took advantage of heading to Kayava Belltown via Interbay. Thankfully, no road closures through Greenwood & Ballard, Sunday free street parking and no Climate Pledge Arena event this evening. This prime location is located on 1st Avenue between Bell & Blanchard in Seattle's Belltown neighborhood. Conveniently located near Pike Place Market, the Waterfront, and lower Queen Anne/Seattle Center. Other nearby landmarks are Mixed Pantry, Slip Gallery, Kedan Makai, and Umi Sake House. Since it is in soft opening mode (just opened 7/18/25), there is a limited menu, with the ramen noodles produced from their Fremont site. Also, note there are no appetizers and alcoholic beverages at this time. Service was welcoming and helpful as our waitperson spoke of menu highlights. Interior is a bit spare with high ceilings, mirrored walls, and rough hewn wood floors. Loud overhead modern pop music. There is counter, table, and limited outdoor sidewalk seating. The Homie ordered the Chicken Paitan Ramen ($18) with extra egg ($2) and extra 5 pieces of succulent, tender chashu ($5). He requested no menma (bamboo shoots), but was okay with the garlic, scallion, and red onion. He definitely enjoyed his ramen bowl during his first visit to Kayava. I opted for Pork Shoyu Ramen ($18) also with extra egg ($2) and extra 5 pieces of succulent, tender chashu ($5). This was garnished with menma (bamboo shoots), naruto (fish cake), and scallion. Pro tip: mix the soft boiled egg into the hot broth to elevate the broth to rich and silky. This is my first visit to Kayava Belltown, but I had first experienced Kayava Fremont previously during a well attended and lavish Yelp Elite event back in 10/2/24...different vibe altogether. This dining experience was not as interactive or leisurely. We admit to slurping down our respective bowls quickly. Delicious ramen bowls, plus we were the last customers onsite. Added plus was being provided chilled water during our meal. We were well hydrated. Note: when closing time is 9pm, last order taken whether onsite or takeout is 830pm. Great addition to the dining scene in Belltown and Downtown Seattle.

Such a fun and unexpected gem! This ramen spot tucked inside a brewery is super cute and has such a…read morewelcoming vibe. The ramen was incredibly flavorful--rich, comforting, and exactly what you want. Everything tasted fresh and well thought out. I also ordered a draft root beer which was honestly so good and a fun change from the usual. We came with kids and they made the experience extra special. The kids got to pick out a Pokémon card at the bar (huge win), and our waitress went above and beyond--she was so warm and attentive. She even brought the kids Pocky for dessert, which was such a sweet touch. We also ordered the fried chicken--$8 for a huge portion, which is an amazing deal. The dipping sauce was delicious. Personally, I'd prefer the pieces to be a bit smaller, but that's just a minor preference, As well as a real utensils would be nice over plastic. Overall, such a great experience with amazing food, kind service, and thoughtful details. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I went to Midnite Ramen for a late dinner on a Saturday night. While busy even…read morearound 8 PM, we were able to get a table. The atmosphere was lively given its shared space within a brewery. The kiosk ordering system was fairly straightforward. The ramen does already include half an egg so only add an additional if you want 1.5 eggs! They also text you once your order is ready. The ramen itself was delicious- the miso bold was rich and flavorful, and not too spicy. The spice really comes through at the end when just the broth remains. My husband enjoyed the classic shoyu ramen and chicken kaarage, although we weren't able to finish the chicken kaarage because the ramen was just so filling. This is going to be my go-to ramen spot in Fremont/Wallingford.
