The staff are very friendly and they made everything pretty quickly when I stopped by at the tail end of the lunch rush. They're running a 15% off promotion for their grand opening for the first few weeks based on their sign. I'd like to go back and try a milk tea and also maybe the egg banh mi. Looks like they're getting spring rolls soon too. Definitely a needed spot in the area for a quick but tasty boba and banh mi!

Never found a burger so fresh and healthy before! There's an Umbria cafe inside the garage if you enjoy their coffee. I do!

You order via kiosk; and wait your order to be called when its ready. They got condiments of fresh garlic and chili oil as well. What we got: Kyoto charsu ramen (4/5) Great broth and very flavorfull. Portion was perfect. Miso Bold (4.5/5) Very very rich broth and the black garlic was great. Portion was oerfect for how rich it was. I add the spicy paste and it was great.

You can get a variety of Asian fusion dishes. Cute inside with nice vibe. Mocktails ON THE MENU!!! Ramen was AMAZING! Portions decent. Agedashi Tofu... Let's just say I licked that bowl! Bulgogi was INCREDIBLE! Katsu Curry was perfect! Not too spicy and great flavor. Literally everything we had was spot on and DELICIOUS!! I can't wait to go back!

We got there and there was only about five people sitting at tables with about 2/3 of the tables…read moreopen and we're slowly greeted and told that we would be seated in about five minutes. Every picture of ramen bowls on their menu have 3 pieces of meat on them. I only got 2 on mine and asked the waitress about it.

I was also charged for chili paste that I asked for on the side of my Ramen bowl. Very rude and very poor customer service highly recommend you don't go here.

Quiet and unassuming, their food is some of the best I've had. Their teriyaki is great, and definitely a cut above the more bland and thin 'traditional' Seattle style. Manna's meat dishes are terrific also, but my all time fave is their perfect YAKISOBA! This classic Japanese dish is sometimes difficult to find at restaurants, I'm guessing because it's so prevalent in the culture that it's seen as almost too common to fix at a restaurant - maybe equivalent to PB&J in the US. But THIS IS COMFORT FOOD extraordinaire! The blending of flavors (meat/veggie choices here!), crisp veggies, perfectly cooked noodles, and delicious sides included! There's a 'test dish' in every cuisine that is often simple, but clearly demonstrates whether the cook knows what they're doing: Thailand = Pad Thai, Jewish = Matzoh ball soup, US = Burgers, China = Jook, Brazil = Feijoada, and in Japan (for me) it's clearly Yakisoba. This restaurant has got it RIGHT! Service here is friendly (the Owners are very nice), quick, and the noise level is great for conversation. Prices are a great value! EACH time I'm in Seattle I stop in here several times. Can't miss!

I've been to the Cap Hill location and thought it was ok, so I came here hoping this location would…read morebe better. The space is definitely bigger. We sat outside because it was a beautiful day. No one said hello when we walked in. Ordering is completely humanless at a kiosk. The workers do come out to bring your drinks and food to you. We bussed our own table at the end. There was no way to tip at the kiosk so I'm guessing that's why the service is very minimal, which makes sense. We got: Mapo Tofu Ramen- I like mapo tofu. I like ramen. The presentation was beautiful. But somehow, the flavor of this fusion was just... ok. It had way too much salt. It tasted much like mapo tofu even with the numbing spices and all, but it didn't taste anything like ramen. I can't really explain it. It just didn't flow well. In summary, unappealing as a ramen, too salty. Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich- This was delicious, but not enough chicken! It seemed like a third of our chicken patty was the crispy breading. Very disappointed in that. Also, the creamy sesame sauce it comes with, while delicious, didn't really go with the flavors of the sandwich. Sake- Don't remember what kind but I think it was a simple one. Came out in a sake set (the little pitcher and two cups), which was cool. Lychee Beer- Onmgah this was good, but it was like juice. A little too sweet. But hey, great for people who like a sweet fruity beer. So... I definitely like the space here better than Cap Hill. Food & drinks were overall a mix of delicious and ok.

I walked into Ooink on a rainy Friday in June for lunch. I've been to the Capitol Hill location,…read morewhich I found to serve good but not great ramen. That particular location is on the smaller end and I found it very cramped inside while eating. This Fremont location is much larger with way more seating. It's still am almost entirely self-service type of restaurant, with two kiosks right in front for ordering and everything being self service including bussing dishware and packing up leftovers, if any, at the end of the meal. Occasionally they give out packs of freshly made leftover ramen noodles for free - on my first visit, they had a pile right next to the order kiosks. One interesting thing about this restaurant is that they don't appear to accept tips at the kiosks. That's probably why the ramen prices here are 10-20% higher than the competition. Kotteri Ramen ($20) - I feel like the broth is missing something, like some kind of special flavor to set it apart. What exists is pretty unctuous with a fatty mouthfeel that coats the tongue and mouth with slowly rendered pork bone and cartilage. It's very garlic forward due to the amount of crunchy garlic chips mixed in along with the squid ink-esque black garlic oil layer. Usually when I feel something is missing, it's due to lack of salt, but I'm not so sure in this instance. The broth is fatty but somehow a little bland and doesn't show any sign of frothiness. With that being said, the noodles are excellent. They are a thinner variety, cooked perfectly with a firm bouncy bite that somehow doesn't gets overladen with broth even after sitting in the soup a while. The pork is okay, it's thick cut and porky, clearly marinated but yet missing some of the soy umami notes and any sort of char. It's not even that tender compared to other ramen shops. The egg is slightly over soft boiled with the outside layer of the yolk completely set, but the inside still jammy. The entire half egg is tender though and has decent flavor from marinade. (4/5) I visited again a couple of weeks later as I was interested in the chicken sandwich. This time they didn't have any free noodles though. Kim Kua ($8) - Eight chunks of kabocha lie on the plate, elegantly arranged to give height, then drizzled with Malaysian curry, and sprinkled with crushed pecan and some spicy, lemony microgreens. The kabocha is roasted, but to a point where they are still quite firm instead of being buttery. The pecans aren't toasted, instead having that velvety stale texture they are known for when stored for a while. The drizzled curry sauce isn't very much, just a couple of spoonfuls, but is enough to give some spicy and curry powder forward flavor. It's clearly rich with coconut milk and has plenty of flavorful ingredients, but is missing that special punch to bring things together. I believe it's undersalted. I can't say I'm a huge fan of this side. (3/5) Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich ($13) - The chicken has an extremely robust crunch, boosted by a mix of starches that gives an almost hard kettle-chip type of texture. The seasoning mix used on the chicken and/or in the breading is flavorful, fragrant with lemongrass, spices and just a bit of heat to mix things up. The meat looks kind of rubbery pink in color, perhaps from a marinade? It's a rather large piece that overhangs the bread quite a bit, and the interior isn't too dried out at all even given the heavy exterior fry. They leave the chicken skin-on which enhances that crunch factor even more. On top, they add a couple of slices of pickled cucumber, sliced lengthwise for size. On the bottom is a bed of lightly dressed red cabbage. It makes for a really balanced bite. On the side, they serve the sandwich with a cup of sauce that's somewhat thin and runny. There's some chili funkiness going on there, with a tang and slight mala numbing quality to combine with the nutty sesame flavor and heat of the peppers. I really don't like the bamboo plate this sandwich is served on. It makes for a messy eat. Why not use a normal ceramic or metal plate? Heck, I'd even accept plastic. (4/5) Overall my experience at this Ooink is about the same as the location on Capitol Hill. The ramen is good enough to satisfy a craving, but I just feel like there is something missing. That special ingredient to make things zing and pop. I can't figure out what it could be. Bathrooms - Single unisex room.
