    Uni, soft shell crab and salmon hand rolls
    Clinton T.

    Was apprehensive about this place as I saw that they offer a free soda for a review and figured that might have inflated the ratings. Happy to say that was not the case for us. We ordered quite a few rolls, hand rolls, ramen, and appetizers and all were very good. We really liked the salmon king roll, tonkatsu ramen and the soft shell crab hand roll. We were really impressed with the Tonkatsu ramen. The broth was rich, creamy, flavorful but not too salty. We didn't order any of the big bowls as we wanted to try a variety of the other items but will give those a try next time.

    Chicken Karaage
    Sheila E.

    Green pesto ramen - the flavor was as expected. Tasted like a buttery pesto and I felt it was better than the black sesame ramen. The chashu, however, was dry and disappointing. It came with 2 pieces of chashu. Black sesame ramen - this was not as expected. There's a hint of black sesame but the flavor was mostly squid ink. It should be called squid ink ramen. Chicken karaage - this was ok.

    Definitely put Ramen Nori on your must "go to" list if you haven't already done so! Not only are the traditional styles of ramen deelish but unique versions like pesto and black sesame ramen are sensational and while the broth is rich it's not overwhelming and will have you slurping every last bit. They've also got a great line up of sushi, main dishes, and apps and drinks! The servers are prompt and the service is great plus the ambiance is lively and the interior is very clean.

    Red Spicy Ramen

    Really liked this place. Very family friendly. It's located where Kiku was before which we was a Japanese place we went to for years, same exact table floor plan and sushi counter. The spicy ramen was great, salmon dinner, and sushi rolls are fresh and filling. I like traditional cone shaped hand rolls, these were more like tacos. The Chirashi bowl looks quite elaborate and is big, but pretty steep price ~$50. Anyway loved the service here and the food here and will be back for sure. To-go service is excellent!

    Crazy Tuna Roll
    Belldandy O.

    Ramen Nori is located in Plaza 520 in Bellevue. The plaza has plenty of parking. We arrived in the afternoon to have lunch as a group of three. There was a bit of a wait during this time. It was no more than 30 minutes. Even though we were all quite hungry, we were willing to wait it out since this is a newer spot we have been wanting to try. I ordered the Original Tonkotsu Ramen (pork belly chashu scallions, wood-ear mushrooms, and soft-boiled egg) and Toro Hand Roll. My friend and I also decided to order the Crazy Tuna Roll (Spicy tuna, avocado, cucumber inside topped with seared 7-spiced tuna, crispy onion, eel sauce & spicy mayo) to share. All our food came out faster than we expected, which is great! The food was good and so was the service. I loved before able to have multiple types of foods to eat at once (a little bit of sushi and ramen together).

    Red Spicy Ramen

    Will definitely be my go-to ramen place going forward! The spicy red ramen was so delicious, a great amount of spice with a lot of depth to the broth. Place was popping on a Sunday afternoon, but we still got seated within ~15 minutes for 3 people. I'm excited to come back and try the sushi

    Chirashi Bowl ($45)
    Lisa L.

    There was no wait for 2 people on a Sunday around 1pm. We were seated quickly, and the food came out soon after we ordered. We got the Chirashi Bowl ($45), Perfect Hamachi Roll ($18), and Salmon Lover Roll ($17). The rolls are decently sized and taste like standard rolls. I think the better value is with the chirashi bowl, even though it costs more ($10 more than these 2 rolls combined), because it comes with better, thick cuts of fish. I haven't tried the ramen here, but I would get the chirashi bowl again. It's in a plaza that has plenty of free parking.

    I split two signature ramen bowls with my friend on our visit, and both completely blew us away. This spot nails deep, layered broth flavors and premium toppings without overpricing everything. First up, the black sesame ramen. The broth is thick, nutty, ultra-creamy from freshly ground black sesame, balanced with subtle miso notes that never taste heavy or cloying. Every slurp carries warm roasted sesame aroma, and the chewy house noodles soak up the savory soup perfectly. Topped with soft marinated ajitama egg, crisp scallions and nori, it's comforting and full of depth--ideal if you love earthy, nut-forward ramen bases. We also ordered their wagyu ramen, which is the star luxury pick here. Thinly sliced A5 wagyu sears lightly in the hot broth the second it hits the bowl, turning impossibly tender and buttery with every bite. The beefy umami from the wagyu elevates their silky tonkotsu soup, creating a rich, steakhouse-adjacent ramen experience you won't find at basic noodle shops. The portion of wagyu is generous enough to share, and the marbling melts on your tongue with zero tough chewy bits.

    Waygu ramen
    Jesena M.

    The restaurant is in a strip mall with enough parking and the inside is clean and simple. We came for ramen and the choices were underwhelming as was the flavor and meat. We expect a lot more out of a ramen place, especially since there are so many options in the area. We did order some sushi rolls in the end and those were much better. The large rolls were a great size and tasted good. I hope they are also getting their health dep rating up again, not a fan of okay only. Service was nice, but they have issues with reservations. They take them over the phone, but don't seem to always write them down. They weren't able to find ours, but at least were able to seat us quickly.

    Great service and beautiful presentation! The food was overall enjoyable, but the quality can be a little inconsistent. During this visit, we found a surprisingly large bone in the toro sashimi, which was definitely unexpected. Hopefully the kitchen can pay a little more attention to the preparation. Still, we had a nice experience overall and would come back again.

    Scallop hand roll
    Justin C.

    Ramen Nori is a good addition to the Bel-Red area. I came here partially cause the restaurant was on resy and needed to use my Amex credit. Overall it's pretty good and solid option. It's definitely not the best but gets the job done if you catch my drift. I would definitely come back if I was in the area but wouldn't go out of the way for it. Staff: okay depending on how busy it is (3.5/5) Sanitation: okay (3/5) Scallop hand roll (4/5) This was pretty good, I think their hand roll options are decent and come with a plastic cover to make sure the ingredients don't make the rice soggy. Wagyu Ramen (4.5/5) This ramen was pretty good. A tonkotsu broth with piece of Wagyu beef in it. The broth was rich but not too heavy and was creamy as well.

    Marissa F.

    Food was good. The spicy ramen has a great amount of spice but it felt sort of heavy. I wasn't a fan of the flavor of the egg. My husband got the Wagyu and liked it. Service was friendly and cost per person given the area was reasonable ($20-30). The ambiance was pretty chill. Loved it!

    Black Sesame Ramen
    Louise F.

    Got menu-baited by the super unique options to come try this place. Specifically the pesto ramen and sesame ramen. I got the sesame ramen but definitely liked the pesto ramen more. The base is a tonkotsu which is already super rich and the sesame earthiness added to that made it overwhelming for me. The pesto felt lighter with a flavor combination that worked better. Kinda confuses the brain when you have pesto and ramen in the same bite, but in a fun way.

    Does this place take reservations or do they allow walk in? How does the waitlist work?

    They do take telephone reservations, but most people show up and register on their waitlist system upon arrival. Although they often have five to ten people waiting, they move through the waitlist quickly.

    Ah. This was hard. Part of me wanted to give 2 stars but.. it's complicated…read more We came on Labor Day, and damn they were so severely under staffed. The waitlist said 7-10minutes. We waited 20, but no biggie. The waitress was very sweet. The issue was EVERYTHING was a wait. Between being seated and even getting a glass of water, was about 10-15 minutes. I think if we came on a non holiday it would have been better. Hopefully. The food: We got chicken karaage, which was honestly sooo good. Like truly 5/5. Tonkotsu shoyu with added Green. 4.5/5. It was honestly the best broth and noodles I've had in a long time, the let down was the pork. It was so fatty and I think under cooked. Literally tasted like a Christmas ham. If they fixed that, easy 5/5. All star: 4/5. Not as good of a value. Great flavor but the shoyu is better. More veg. Also thought the pork was not good on this one. Shoyu: 5/5.

Ordered a side of udon noodles to go with the curry sauce and it was just WOW! First time bringing a friend son and he was amazed and impressed by the garlic Tonkasu ramen he had. One of the nice touches they have are that some green onions are chopped and sprinkled on top of the extra noodles. That flavor is very important. Service was attentive and outstanding, per usual. It was Alan and another young Asian server. And always love the takeout presentation.

    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.

    I think this is a good spot if you are looking for a standard bowl of ramen, but I did not find it…read moreparticularly amazing. 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!

    I treated my friend out for his birthday here on a Saturday noon at exactly 12pm on the dot…read more Parking is tough around here as their shared parking lot is compact, and street parking is limited given it's near Redmond Way - a very busy street - and a ton of residential buildings; I got lucky and snagged parking along 170 Ave NE just two blocks away. If you've been to their first Seattle location in Cap Hill, this location resembles that one in many ways, though this one in Redmond is noticeably much bigger and has more seating that isn't squished together. There's bar seating and a bigger number of four-tops compared to the Cap Hill location, though the wooden wall scheme is the same for both. They serve katsu here with many types of meat cuts, all of which are listed on their menu with descriptions. Service overall was fast and efficient even when tables around us started filling up with hungry patrons. For our food: - The K&O karaage was all right at best. Meat inside is very tender and juicy but the aromatic toasted powder has so much salty flavor - and outer coating was also so dry - that my friend and I needed to drink water constantly while eating it. We could have skipped getting this. - We each got their jidori chicken oroshi katsu. This comes with their jidori chicken, essentially high-quality free-range chicken breast cutlet... and it was very juicy, with the Panko coating being the right kind of crunchy in all areas. We weren't fans of the grated radish sitting on top of all that katsu though, and most of the dish was their shredded cabbage as usual. The cabbage goes really well with their peanut sauce provided at our table. We both left feeling really full and overstuffed in a good way, though I would pass on getting the karaage if you're already getting one of their katsu dishes. Distance- and seating- wise, I'd come back here for their katsu whenever I don't feel like dealing with the parking situation that is Cap Hill.
