    Shio Ramen
    Jared W.

    Came here after some friends were craving ramen but not wanting to wait in a long line. The place is unassuming from the outside but is actually pretty cozy inside. You order your food at a kiosk but the food is brought out to you. I ended up getting a classic shio ramen. The portion was decently sized and the flavoring was well done. A good mix of saltiness mixed with the flavors of all the toppings. My friends made comments about the ramen really hitting the spot, and I can't disagree. I would say if you're craving ramen, this is a must to stop by.

    I was recommended this place even before I moved to Seattle! The broth was full of flavor but not salty, and the menu has a mix of a variety of options, would definitely recommend!

    Stumbled upon this ramen place while in Cap hill area. The restaurant was small and is more of a self served restaurant. You first pay at the kiosk then grab a number to find a table. I decided to get the kotteri ramen while my husband got the mala version. Overall, the ramen was good but pricey. $20 per bowl is quite expensive for the amount you get. The broth was rich and garlicky. I noticed the broth is much thicker than most ramen places I've been to which I'm not mad about. I really like the noodle texture since it tasted very homemade. The charshu pork was tender and easily broken apart. I prefer this more than the mala version. Overall, it was a delicious meal but just expensive. I will come back whenever I'm around the area and craving ramen. FYI there's paid parking at the upper level for easy access.

    This place is a super interesting Chinese-Japanese fusion restaurant combining Japanese ramen with mala flavors from Szechuan. Funnily enough, my favorite dish here is actually the Malaysian fried chicken, but the ramen is still pretty solid. The place is really small and it gets pretty busy so either come here at an off hour or be prepared to wait a bit for a table. It sounds a bit strange to recommend Malaysian dishes at a Chinese-Japanese fusion restaurant, but the fried chicken and cucumber salad here are the sleeper hits. The cucumber salad is super fresh but has an amazing umami and nuttiness from the peanut sesame sauce. The fried chicken is my favorite thing here. You get 3 giant drumsticks for only $13 which is pretty cheap. The skin is super crispy and it's really flavorful with all the spices. The ramen here is good but not my favorite. If not for the fried chicken, I would probably give this place 4 stars. The broth is rich and I love the mala oil they use. The mapo tofu ramen is pretty unique but I'm not sure the tofu actually adds anything to the ramen. I also wish there was more customization like noodle thickness and firmness.

    This place has been in my to go list for a while. Hesitation: parking and it's cap hill after all, it's sketchy area. Parking: street or upper level parking. See photo for parking rate. First 30 min are free Located in the 2nd floor. You can access via staircase from Broadway. We ordered: Mapo tofu ramen Koterri ramen Shoyu ramen Spicy ayam goreng fried chicken- not too spicy, crispy outside, very moist inside. We love all the ramen, unique flavour, thick broth, perfect flavour. Seating: inside only Restroom: 1 single restroom only. There's a self serve station for water and sauces etc. We would love to come back for more if you dont have to pay for parking.

    Shio Ramen

    TLDR: super comforting bowl of ramen, perfect for Seattle rainy weather Decided to come here for lunch on a random weekday. Seattle was doing what it does and raining which put me in the mood for a nice bowl of soup. Coming here, it's located on the 2nd floor above QFC. You order on a small kiosk in front, take a number, and choose a table to dine. The workers were pretty attentive and went ahead and cleaned my table before serving my food which was really appreciated. First the soup - super creamy and umami (kind of surprised for a shio broth). The chashu was also super flavorful and matched the broth really well. The noodles were a thinner texture and the bamboo shoots were a nice contrast to the whole bowl. Overall solid bowl of ramen, will definitely be coming back again!

    Mala Kotteri Ramen
    Joanna M.

    I'm almost convinced that Seattle doesn't understand the concept of great noodles. Or maybe I've been spoiled by all the amazing noodles I've had in my life both outside and homemade. Oiink is located in a mall, casual, with an abundant amount of seating. You order at the cash register and the workers bring the ramen to you. After you're done you bus your own table. I tried the Mala Kotteri ramen at a spice level 3 which wasn't too spicy. The broth itself is a little greasy with the added mala oil. And while the broth is flavorful (lended by that amazing kick of black garlic), it was missing the sour/sweet component. If you add a little bit of chinese vinegar that they have on the side, it elevates the broth slightly. Still, there was something missing that could've taken this broth to another level. The best part of the ramen was the pork, which is melt in your mouth juicy. And the noodles are pretty good too. My partner, who ordered the regular kotteri ramen, downed his bowl in minutes and agreed that the pork was pretty damn good. His ramen was less greasy than mine because he didn't have the mala oil. It's safe to say I wouldn't mind coming back, but maybe if someone else was paying or if I was in the area. It's affordable and decent tasting ramen.

    Ooink is AMAZING, and I will happily return again. Solid menu of various types/flavors of ramen and a few other specialty items. Restaurant is super tiny, and you order yourself on an iPad. I'm guessing no substitutions makes it easier for the super friendly staff you get orders out quick. Ours order was ready in no time at all. No fountain drinks, but a bunch of different drink selections in the fridge next to the order station. 4 orders of ramen, 4 sodas, and a pork gyoza cost $125...not too bad. Flavor of the ramen is totally worth the price.

    Probably my favorite ramen I've had in Seattle to date. Ordering is easy. Ramen is outstanding (get the add ons) and the fried chicken and cucumbers are musts.

    Ramen was quick to come out and fresh! Cha siu was nice and tender but could be more flavorful. They were generous with the toppings. But it was a little messy in terms of getting spoons and napkins and bussing your own table

    Mala Ramen

    Came in with a group of 7 around 9:30ish on a Friday, and it's located above the QFC. The restaurant was quite full, and we weren't sure if we could sit and eat but another couple was incredibly kind, and moved to a two person table so we could take their 6 table. I ordered on the tablet and took a plastic number. They let you check a spice level, along with all types of additions. They have self serve water and utensils, and sauces, and some chopsticks at each table. A worker came and gave us all soup spoons. Food came out pretty quickly. I really enjoyed the mala ramen I got! Really flavorful broth, well cooked meat, it was maybe a tad oily. I got a spice 4 (highest spice) and that was a good amount for me, but it's strong numbing flavor. I could definitely taste a difference between a 2 and a 4. We also got an order of the fried chicken, and that was easily the best thing we had. The chicken was huge, piping hot, crispy exterior, really juicy meat. I will be getting it for myself when I go back!

    In my short trip to Seattle, I became obsessed with this place. They are so much better than that hand pulled noodle place on Pike. Everything's better the noodles, the broth, the service.. and it's cheaper too. First, I tried the Mala Kotteri because it was their signature dish. I got a spice level of three. While it was very good, I didn't like that the chili oil overwhelmed the flavor of the delicious broth. And it might've been too many flavors going on for me, but for a spicy food lover, it might be the right thing. Next, I got the Shoyu Ramen, this was great because I could experience the delicious 26 hour broth. It might be the best broth I've ever had. This would be great if you wanted a mild classic style Ramen. Lastly, I tried the Ma Po Tofu Ramen. This was my personal favorite. It is the most delicious thing I've eaten on this whole trip! It struck just the right balance between spice and the Umami flavor of the broth. At a spice level of one you could taste the Szechuan peppercorn, but it was subtle and did not overwhelm the broth. I love the garnish of crispy noodle and that cabbage stuff on top was incredibly delicious. I think if I lived here I would become addicted to this dish. 10 out of 10! I also love that they had garnish on the side, including Szechuan peppercorn, chilis and black vinegar. This place is legit!

    Mapo Tofu Ramen

    I've been wanting to try Ooink for YEARS and I'm glad to have finally tried it. Ooink is a ramen restaurant in the Harvard Market right above QFC in Capitol Hill. Unlike most places in Seattle, there is a convenient free little shared parking lot for Ooink and the other businesses in this area. Our group of five got here pretty early on in the day, a little before noon. It wasn't busy yet. There was maybe a group or two already seated and eating before we arrived. The restaurant itself is pretty small, so having a group of five was a bit of a stretch for how small the seating arrangements are. I wouldn't bring no more than a group of four here, unless you don't mind sitting apart from one another. Once you arrive, you need to order first before getting seated, if you plan on dining in. So placing our orders was quick and easy! Our group was able to submit and place our orders with the self-ordering kiosk, as well as having someone assist us. I ordered the Mapo Tofu Ramen The spice level ranges between 1 and 2 for this ramen bowl. It has a numbing and spicy silky pork soup with shoyu flavor with ground pork and silken tofu, noodles, and zacai. I have never seen another ramen restaurant serve a Mapo Tofu Ramen, so I was very intrigued by this option. The broth is quite different from other ramen broths I have had. It is super creamy. I wasn't the biggest fan of how creamy the broth was, but it was still good nonetheless. My sister's boyfriend ordered the Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich, which I had to mention given how fast they made it and brought it out! They brought it out before his ramen. It's a fried crispy chicken thigh with shredded cabbage, cucumber, and house-made sauce. It is a highly demanded menu item here.

    Can sesame allergies be accommodated?

    Hi, all the bamboo contains sesame oil. and vegetarian miso ramen contains sesame dressing on the veg topping.

    Are the vegetarian ramens also vegan? Curious if they are served with egg and if the corn butter is made with real butter. thanks!

    You can get it without the egg and butter to make it vegan.

    What's the base of the vegetarian broth?

    Website and menu says kombu, shiitake, dry dates.

    Are paleo or gluten free options available?

    Sorry we do not. Only gluten free we have a Ayam goreng.

    I'm from the Bay Area and have tasted a lot of good ramen in my time, but even by that standard,…read morethis place is at least 95 percentile quality. Good noodles, good chashu, and delicious broth on their "Original" ramen (which is pretty much Tonkotsu, I think). It's lacking in nothing. I also appreciate the way they structure the menu: most toppings are optional (like egg and seaweed) in exchange for a modest base price. Yet even when you add stuff back in, the sum is still reasonable, e.g. with added seaweed and a shot of extra noodles, my bowl came out right around $20 after tax/tip. Service is quick and courteous. This place has only one problem: the wait is damn eternal. I waited 50+ minutes, and the only reason I got in that _fast_ was because I came solo and qualified for counter seating. The couple ahead of me in line waited at least 90... and this was on a Monday! But that's hardly the restaurant's fault.

There can be a long wait, though they are pretty efficient with service and turning over tables. I got the classic ramen with very firm thick noodles and standard broth thickness and richness. I do like that you can customize both the noodles and broth based on your preferences. The flavor was overall okay. Nothing was wrong with it, but nothing particularly stood out or felt unique either. Overall, a solid option if you are craving a classic bowl of ramen!
