After hanging out at Fremont brewery for a bit. I trek over here with some friends for ramen. Mind you I thought we were walking into a restaurant not another brewery so I was really surprised when we got here. The midnite ramen cart/ window is located inside Stoneway tap room. It was absolutely busy and very crowded. While my friend ordered us ramen I was trying to find a place to sit 5 people. Not really an ideal situation for my awkwardness. We moved around a few times before settling on a table towards the door. I think I was the only one that ordered ramen because everyone else got braise beef noodle soup. I really enjoyed my bowl of ramen. It was actually a good portion size as well because I was kind of full on beer. Will probably wander back here some time in the future. read more

Midnite Ramen - Miso bold? I actually don't remember haha - Ramen Near Me - Seattle, Washington

$16-$17/ramen in a disposable bowl. 1/2 an egg, good umami broth, bamboo shoots, and curly ramen. They have a bar in this shop as well as well as chicken and gyoza stand. The chicken flavor was good but i prefer darker meat for chicken karage. read more

I found this place based on online recommendations from the locals. I had a super high expectations for it before I went there. I ordered a Taiwanese one. The noodles were good, but the soup was too salty to me, and there was even a spoon of sauce not dissolved at the bottom when I was almost finished. Felt a little disappointed. The environment was great tho. Btw, they offer a free Pokeman card per customer at the entrance! read more

Pretty mid especially when Ooink is right across the way! We got the tantanmen and pork shoyu. The tantanmen broth was pretty oily, shoyu was better. Noodles were like clearly store bought (not a ding necessarily but again, ooink is right next door ) read more

We were so excited to see a ramen spot so close to our apartment! It did not disappoint. The ramen itself has a perfect texture. They are extremely generous with their portions of ramen and toppings. My husband and I both ordered the kumamato miso bold. I couldn't believe how flavorful the broth was--easily one of the best bowls of ramen I've ever had. It is very garlicky and the broth itself is creamy and it melts in your mouth. It was seasoned perfectly. It is a family-owned establishment located in Figurehead brewery. They are all very sweet and helpful. We will definitely be back soon! read more

Honestly, kinda expensive for a bowl of ramen where there's several other restaurants. The broth and flavors were bold, I like the pork- it was soft and pulled apart easily. The bowl I got came with only one ear mushroom, a few bamboo shoots, and half an egg. Although the flavors were good, I just wish there was more. read more

Midnite Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Seattle, Washington

A fabulous little spot to grab ramen and a beer. Stopped in on a Saturday night, the brewery was bustling but we were able to grab a seat right away. Ordering was easy, service was friendly, and there were lots of great options. We chose the miso bold with black garlic and the tantanmen. Food was ready in less than 15 minutes for pick up at the window. It was a little funny to have such nice ramen in a plastic bowl, but it didn't make the ramen any less tasty! The broths were rich and flavorful, noodles were soft and springy, mushrooms and eggs were a tasty addition, and the pork was flavorful but not too fatty. A fun and lively place to grab a tasty bowl of ramen read more

First time at midnite Ramen and the hype is real guys, one of the best Ramen I've had in the Seattle area! First off they have a wide selection of Ramen, they also have more Japanese food in the back too, which looked really good. The staff is super friendly and I loved how casual the restaurant is as the ramen was in a compostable bowl and you bus your own table. The broth was super rich and flavorful, I would definitely come back. read more

Midnite Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Very overrated. Food took forever to come out when the place wasn't even busy and was cold. It didn't even taste very good especially compared to other spots around Seattle. I'm not sure if people are paid to say this place is good or if they are just too drunk to tell. The bar is cool though. read more

I'm so glad Midnite Ramen has a permanent spot now inside Figurehead brewing! My partner and I went on a Saturday night, and it was popping inside the brewery. The ordering system is a little confusing. They have kiosks where you can order gyoza and Osaka street food snacks, but to order the ramen you have to go to the truck itself. When you go to the truck, they give you a beeper and when it beeps, you're able to go to the truck to actually place your order. So a little strange but it's pretty speedy one it's your turn to place an order. The gyoza ordering is a bit strange too. You have to buy tickets, and each ticket is an order of 5 gyoza, but you have to order a minimum of 3 tickets for $12. The tickets can be used at any time, though, you could buy three tickets on your first visit and only redeem one ticket (5 gyoza). Then you can come back another time and just redeem the ticket for gyoza without having to pay again. Again, kinda confusing and a bit of a pain to have to keep track of the tickets but it's fine. Onto the food - we really liked the ramen and gyoza! The gyoza wrapper is quite thin and the filling kind of falls apart, but it was pretty good. I got the wonton ramen without the chili oil, and I liked it! The wontons had a good amount of filling, and the chashu and egg were cooked perfectly. The wonton ramen came with a shoyu broth which typically isn't my favorite, but my partner really liked it. He ordered the miso ramen, which I loved! I thought the miso broth was really flavorful. Also, the service was so sweet! The woman who worked in the truck was so kind and genuine. read more

I went there right before noon on Saturday and there was an event in the area. So the place was already crowded. It took me about 20+ min from order placed to pick up my ramen and takoyaki. The food quality was ok, in comparison with many good ramen places in the city. The paper bowl doesn't keep the soup hot. So I didn't enjoy the soup during my early Fall visit. Maybe it can become a plus in the summertime. read more

Ate it too quickly and didn't remember to take pictures. The food came out quick the service was fast. The noodles were cooked well and the broth was flavorful. What more could you want! Coming from Texas it seemed a little small for the price. But I'd still come back and I won't judge it on price vs value as I'm still getting use to it. read more

Midnite Ramen might just be my new favorite ramen spot in Seattle! Located inside Figurehead Stone Way Brewing Company in Fremont, this small truck inside serves some tasty ramen. The owners are friendly, and I can't wait to come back already. They offer 9 different types of ramen. So far, I have tried the miso ramen and the miso bold ramen, both priced at $14 each. I prefer the miso bold ramen for more flavor. The noodle texture and size is to my preference (not soft but not too chewy either). The wait times have been minimal so far. They give you a buzzer, and the ramen comes out pretty quickly. You can utilize the brewery space to eat, or they also have outside seating. Right now, they're giving one free dessert with every ramen purchase until August (I'm not sure of the exact end date). Overall, I like the vibes there, and I'm planning to try the spicy Taiwan ramen next time. I'll update my review once that happens! read more

I love ramen and I'm a quest to try every single ramen restaurant in the Greater Seattle area, and Midnite Ramen popped up as an interesting option to check off the list! We went on a Thursday around 7pm and were able to get a couple of orders in. The restaurant itself is a small cozy looking food truck, and is situated right outside a brewery - it is convenient since you are also able to get a beer while waiting for your food. There are outdoor seating arrangements right outside the food truck, and since it looks like the two establishments are paired, you should also be able to sit inside if the weather the day you are visiting is chilly or rainy. Service is fast, you wait in line to place your order, they hand you a notification device, and you pick up your feel as soon as it buzzes. We went on luckily a not too busy night, so we got our food in about 5 - 10ish minutes. I placed two orders, and was able to try an appetizer and two of their ramen options! I'll review what I got down below: Bun with scallions and charshu ($6): This appetizer does wake up your taste buds nicely. The only critique that I would have was that they smother the bun with green onion, they really pile it on! This made the other flavors like the charshu very much subdued due the overpowering flavor of scallions. I like scallions, but would suggest trying something else if you aren't the biggest fan of them Wontonmen Ramen ($16): Delicious and meaty wontons! The wontons are huge, and they are almost about the size of a gold ball, and have good meaty texture and flavor. They give a generous helping of them, since I think I got about five of them in m bowl. There are some helpings of bamboo, and the noodles had a decent chew to them. The egg was a good consistency, but compared to other ramen places, I wished it was marinated or seasoned, as it was just a normal soft boiled egg. The broth had a mild spice, and it was nice taking a bite of a wonton, and re-dipping it in the broth. A hearty Onomichi Ramen ($13): Oh man, this is a hearty and delicious bowl of noodles! The broth is very interesting - on the menu, you would think that the dominant flavor would be pork, but they added bonito or some dried fish/other seafood that gave it a deep umami that was very pleasing. From the picture, you can see that there is a good amount of back fat scatter through the bowl. The chashu soaked up the broth nicely and was tender, and the noodles were nice and chewy. I would say this was my favorite thing I tried out of everything I ordered. Overall, I spent about $40ish for everything that I ordered above. I would say the pricing is decent considering the quality and amount of food that I got. Midnite Ramen is a bit far from where I live, but if I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely like to try the other options that this restaurant has to offer! (4.5 stars) read more

For a ramen yatai I'm quite impressed by the ramen flavor and quality. My favorite is the Onomichi ramen (pork back fat) it is devilishly good as it's full of umami. The Miso Bold can be a bit more spicy (or the staff should have asked me) and the miso flavor is not strong enough. It does get a little confusing on where you can eat. Actually the Figurehead Brewing is ok with the Midnite Ramen customers to sit inside or outside of their bar. A little more clear instructions would be nice. read more

This adorable ramen food truck doesn't look like much, but it definitely packs a punch! The way it's run is a little confusing. First you grab a ticket, then wait until your number is called before you can order. Your number will be called again when your food is ready. While you wait is the perfect time to order a beer and find a table! This ramen is very delicious! I love that they incorporate a mixture of traditional (Miso, Shio) and innovative (Mapo Tofu) flavors on their menu! I will say that the ramen is VERY rich. Personally a little too rich for me-- there was a thick layer of oil on the surface of the soup as you can see in the photos. Definitely not something to eat every day. The owners of the food truck are so cute! They are a very kind East Asian couple (I think?) and they seem to work very hard to make the best ramen they can. That plus the wonderful atmosphere of the brewery makes this a great experience :) read more

Pros: AMAZING RAMEN Cons: Loooooooong wait times I would definitely rec this place but get there when it opens! Here's how our Midnite ramen experience went down. We showed up at 6pm and ended up being the last group to be able to get ramen that night. There were already a few flavors that were sold out. We didn't end up getting our food until 8pm and they ran out of pork so they replaced it with beef. The food taste and quality was amazing! Got the blackened garlic ramen. The north was incredibly flavorful and the beef was juicy and tender. The ramen broth wasn't too heavy either. The combination of the long wait and cold weather had me wolfing it down. I'd definitely come back but would plan to come early just to avoid the long wait. read more

Midnite Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Midnite Ramen is a small food truck and shares the area with Figurehead Brewing. There is some parking reserved for the brewery and there are covered outdoor tables. When we arrived for some reason it brought me back to when I visited Japan. Whether it was the decor or that there was a yakitori pop-up right next door, it felt very authentic. When you get there, take a number and wait for it to be called. We arrived at around 6:20pm on a Friday and about 10 minutes later we realized that there were about 25 numbers ahead of us. In the meantime I got a beer from Figurehead Brewing but we were definitely starving. Above each bowl of ramen there is a region of Japan denoting how each is made. We ordered the 50's classic shoyu ($12) from Tokyo and the miso bold ($14) from Kumamoto. The shoyu was your classic bowl of ramen as its name suggested and the broth was saltier than the miso bold. For the miso bold, the meat was tender and the broth was flavorful from the garlic but not as spicy as I thought it would be. We thought the egg was just okay; there wasn't much flavor and it wasn't marinated. There is a condiment section if you want chili oil, sichuan peppercorns, and grated ginger. The ramen was good but it was a little out of the way for us. The wait was also longer than I would like; I'm not sure if I would wait an hour for the ramen. I'd recommend coming earlier so you can skip the long lines, especially since they're only open from 5pm-9pm on select days. read more

Delicious food. It's a tiny tiny food truck, but there's outdoor seating available. The brewery next door let us eat inside luckily since it was cold. They only have maybe 5 things on the menu in total, but they are great at those 5 things. We tried a few different ramens and loved them all. Most of the group had never had ramen and had lots of questions, staff was patient and friendly, even though some of us switched orders repeatedly. read more

Absolutely awful service, ordered to go then the made it for here. Took them 30 minutes to remake it and forgot what I ordered the first time and did it incorrectly (there was no line). Not to mention when I asked for a refund they said no. Extremely rude and unprofessional.... read more

Fun experience dining with chef Elmer and Izumi. Try to get here earlier than it's expected 9pm closing time because they had sold out of everything the night we went around 8pm, the adjoining yakitori sold out even earlier than that. We ordered the miso bold, tan tan ramen, chashu deluxe, and curry pork (available fridays only). Really enjoyed the miso bold's broth. Garlicky, rich, and an appropriate amount of spice. Noodles were a little bit on the softer side and would have preferred for it to be a little bit more al dente. The tan tan broth was unlike any other tan tan broth I've had. It tastes almost herbal like? Underlying sesame and peanut tones but overcasted with this herbal flavor that I could not shake. Was not a huge fan of this. Charshu deluxe was so good. So fatty and charred for that smoky flavor. Curry pork rice also surprising good and surprisingly on the spicy side. Worth a try! Fun night hanging out, slurping noods, and having some good beer. read more

I haven't traveled to Japan to know regional specifics on ramen or the minutiae on ramen, soba, and udon. All I know is that toothy noodles and broth with flavorful depth is what I seek. My favorites remain Ramen Danbo (Seattle - Capitol Hill) and Marutama (Vancouver BC - West End), but I'm glad I've spotted the tiny trailer rig on Sundays in Seattle - Interbay and had the opportunity to detour on two occasions on 1/10/21 and 3/14/21. Midnite Ramen are run by a hardworking, friendly older couple from a tiny trailer. The menu offers several regional types of ramen, tasty ramen add ons, and small rice bowl sides. You can make a hardy meal with like three selections, for example. I often wish they had a brick and mortar site, because during my two visits, they were parked along 15th Ave NW at Holy Mountain Brewing (locations vary - consult their website) where cars drive past at high speed. And with inclement weather, their trailer door swings open and even on my second visit, a sudden gust of wind blew over their tent area knocking over all the condiments and chopsticks. They are barely protected from the elements. But the warmth and top notch quality comes through my takeout purchases, simply amazing! Visit #1 (1/20/21) I purchased Chiba style WontonMen ($15) with a shoyu broth, chili oil, and five pieces of pork and shrimp wonton. Reminds me of my go to ramen shop on Kauai, Hamura Saimin. The second one I selected was Kobe style Beef Brisket Shoyu Ramen ($16) which had tender, succulent brisket that had been simmered for four hours. The baby bok choy is a nice added touch. Visit #2 (3/14/21) In a sudden blustery downpour, I opted for a pair of Tokyo style Nibo-Jiro ($16 each). Omg - one inch thick tender pork chasu, garlic, and pork back fat in a niboshi and dried anchovy broth. Incredibly rich and flavorful! I did a major deep bow when handed my takeout bag out of sheer respect. I was also given a stamp card. Four visits within a month, you receive a free side dish. It does have a month's expiration date though. Delicious - definitely recommended! read more

Ramen isn't my go-to food in any scenario, except after I tried midnite ramen while visiting friends in Seattle in 2021. The chashu! The broth! The garlic! All of it. My friends are lucky enough to live close by and are familiar with the very friendly owner. In 2021, I ate the Kobe Brisket Ramen and this June I went for the Kumamoto Miso Bold. Unf. Sumptuous! Next up I want to wontonmen. Anyway. If you like straightforward unpretentious ramen, check out midnite ramen! read more

3.5 years in and this is hands down my favorite ramen in the city. The broth is by far some of the best broth I have ever had. They have 12 or so styles of ramen plus some buns. My favorites are the classic, miso bold, and Taiwan styles, but they're all delicious. I'm sad they'll be leaving Magnolia soon for myself, but I'm happy for Elmer and Izumi, the owners, that they finally get to fulfill their dream of having a permanent shop set up! read more

Some of Seattle's finest ramen is served out of this tiny ramen cart. The broths here are remarkably light yet intensely packed with flavor -- a distinction from the thick, heavy broths commonly found in other ramen shops. The Nibo-Jiro is the standout for me featuring an one-inch thick cut of Chasu. For any pork lovers, this is an absolute must. The niboshi anchovy-based broth is infused with pork back fat, and smothers everything in rich umami flavors. It's perfect for slurping in between bites of ramen noodles and Chasu. The cart rotates frequently between Figurehead and Obec brewing (schedule on their site), which is the perfect setup for pairing a warm bowl of ramen with a refreshingly cold beer on the outdoor patios. read more

I think I might have found the best ramen in the Seattle area. I tried the onomichi ramen and the broth was just so good. It had a nice seafood flavor mixed with lard, thus making it super flavorful. The pork servings were nice and fatty, another plus. There's also plenty of outdoor seating right next to the food truck too. I came on a weekday night so the wait was pretty quick but definitely come as early as possible. read more

I was skeptical coming here with everyone saying it's the best ramen in Seattle. But alas, I just might have to agree. It was the most authentic ramen I've ever had here. I got the Onomichi and it was phenomenal. The depth and complexity of the broth was something you just can't get anywhere else in Washington. The price was great too, I would have paid way more for that bowl of ramen. I also got the yakitori which was pretty good. It had a deep smokey flavor from the charcoal grill and it was tender as well. Though I wouldn't say it's a MUST (unlike the ramen). I cannot wait to keep coming back and trying their other ramens and dishes. read more

The ramen here is okay. The food hall atmosphere is fun, a bit confusing when you walk in but it worked out. The sushi place was good.

I was surprised how fast and easy it was to get hot, specialty ramen at a casual brewery! The serving is very generous, we got the classic chicken ramen and a specialty tantenmen style ramen. Both were good, for people unsure of spice or a lot of tang, I'd go for the classic ramen instead of the tantenmen. Everything was great and we didn't mind sitting outside on a cold night as the soup really warms you up! read more

Best Ramen in Seattle, and it's from a truck! I've been to all of these regions in Japan (Kumamoto, Sapporo, Onomichi/Hiroshima, Tokyo, Chiba, Yokohama, etc) and tried the regional ramen styles, I've been to Shukaen many times (the birthplace of onomichi ramen), and I've had a looooot of good ramen in LA. Midnite Ramen is easily my favorite ramen in America. This is place is as authentic and ramen-nerdy as you can get. Our time has come. Tonkotsu variants, miso, shoyu, and fusion noodles are primarily what you find in the US. To see that they specialize regional ramen and bringing you a variety of super authentic options that you'd have a harder time finding in the US (Kumamoto, Onomichi, varied up by limited time specials, etc) is really just so incredible. When in doubt, you can't go wrong with the Tokyo Shoyu or Sapporo miso. They're delicious and classics for a reason. The variety that they have with their Tokyo styles is just amazing. You won't get a variety like this in one place short of going to Tokyo for a bit and finding different kinds of ramen yourself. Alright, here comes the nerdy stuff: Onomichi is a coastal city in Hiroshima, so the ramen soup uses a fish dashi with pork. The pork fat bits that float on the soup are a signature, and this bowl is pretty much the peak Japanese comfort food for me. You just have a bowl of onomichi ramen and nothing can hurt you anymore, ya kno? Midnite does their broth just gah...so....so good. Their broth alone made me immediately throw my money at their Go Fund Me for their 50's Village location. I also love that their menma (bamboo) is just so pleasant. A lot of ramen shops around here skimp on the details like that, but midnite's texture is just right, and it's flavorful without being being too "punchy." Their aji-tama (egg) always has the proper glossy softness, flavor--Can we go back to the broth? It's freaking legendary. Am I making my bias too obvious? Ok let's move on. Jiro ramen is a trend that started in Tokyo for volume eaters. Basically, they put a mountain of veggies on top of your ramen (which means you can count ramen as a vegetable on your food pyramid, totally legit.) Kumamoto is characteristic for its love affair with garlic. Really nice and flavorful and comforting on a cold day. It's not too spicy as you get it (but they have a condiment station if you want to make it spicier,) and the miso broth is really solid and satisfying. It comes with a kikurage (mushroom) which feels nice and light with a heavier broth. They also have a vegan option! I also went to their anniversary event at Figurehead with the tasting menu and was blown away by the variety (the tako wasa viche and millefeuille OMG so playful and delicious!! It felt so FUN eating!) Obec and Figurehead have gotten so much business from us as we follow this truck. I'm really grateful that Elmer and Izumi have given me a lot of comfort food at a time when I couldn't travel back to Japan to get it, and I needed it the most. These guys are legends.T read more

The peak of living in Ballard is I got to try out lots of breweries with different food track. Midnite Ramen is for sure one of the best food trucks around the area, specially with the rainy days in Seattle :) We tried their Mapo tofu ramen (sounds weird, I know) and Nibo-Jiro. Mapo tofu tastes AMAZING with the sweet and spicy kick balance is perfect; and I think it is a limited ramen on either Wednesday or Thursday. Nibo-Jiro's Chasu is so good (1-in cut!!) and with the pork fat in the soup makes the ramen perfect! Remember to check our their instagram where they will be going and check them out!! read more
