Few better ways to complete a recreational day on Whidbey Island than to have a tasty bowl of ramen at Ultra House! Nestled behind the main walking areas, you can follow the street signs to this restaurant. We arrived just before they opened for the evening from 4:30pm. It is not a large restaurant but we were early. Bright and cheerful interior with shelves of Japanese sweets and some souvenirs on the side. Our favorite and go-to is the tonkotsu which has the thicker pork bone broth. We have not visited for a year or so and the price has gone up while the volume seemed to have gone down. Nevertheless the taste was great and we were satisfied with the meal. read more

Checked out the spot on Whidbey Island as we stopped by Langley. It's tucked in a cute little garden on the main street. Honestly glad we decided to stop by! We dined in and they gave us complimentary edamame which was very nice of them We both ordered ramen chicken and it was very tasty! I really enjoyed the mushrooms that came on it, and I changed my Naruto add-on for some fried onions which was a nice touch. I really enjoyed having the tagarashi at the table as well as the crushed sesame seeds. Good ole ramen spot in the area, I only wish they had better ventilation for dining inside. Would eat again! read more

The 100000% lives up to the hype. One of best ramens I've eaten in the PNW. I love ramen danbo in Seattle and I'd say my ramen at this place was better. I got the chicken tori. So much flavor. So many different toppings. Pickled ginger adding to the aromatics and overall flavor profile. Phenomenal. They now have patio seating too! read more

On friday night, we waited ~20min. We walked around the town until we got a text message that our table was ready. After we sat down, we ordered 2 Shoyu, 1 spicy miso, and 1 Shrimp Tan Tan. Tan Tan: The broth for Tan Tan tasted clean and not greasy as it does not contain meat. It had a spicy kick to the broth which I loved. There were 4 shrimps that were perfectly cooked, not dry. Spicy Miso: the broth also had a kick to it. This broth was a bit thicker than Tan Tan's as the ramen contains meat. It wasn't greasy and salty. Shoyu: this broth is the thickest and heaviest. A bit greasy but not too greasy. All ramen weren't salty and were delicious even for non-ramen lover like myself. We will be back! read more

I got the spicy miso ramen and the broth was really rich and creamy I loved it. The pork is cooked well and they give you a descent sized portion of food. The ambience is beautiful especially when you sit outside. Service was good too. read more

Wonderful little ramen restaurant in Langley! On a rainy Tuesday, we were the first ones there for lunch so were able to enjoy the little counter seating. Perfect dishes for the day, warm and so yummy. We had a Tan Tan shrimp and a Tonkatsu, with no additions although it was tempting to amend! The ramen broth is very rich and each was different. You have the option to add sesame oil, chili oil, a delicious soy sauce, 3 kinds of pepper in shakers and a fresh grind of sesame seeds. The egg is cooked to perfection - whites solid and the yolk mostly cooked with the center soft and creamy. A small dish of edamame is served as an appetizer. The staff are friendly and the food was served by the chef with a smile. We enjoyed watching the dishes being created. You might have a wait on a busy day but it is definitely worth it. read more

The shoyu ramen was a solid choice, pretty flavorful and even a bit creamy (which is a little different than the shoyu I'm used to); and the pork in it was so tasty! I went back and tried the tonkatsu ramen as well; I personally preferred the shoyu, but both were delicious options! The crispy gyoza pork dumplings (and the sauce that came with it) were good, too. We sat outside and enjoyed the cute, colorful village it's located in. The staff was super sweet too, enjoyed my experience here! read more

Ultra House - Shoyu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Langley, Washington

Until I visit Japan, I am convinced this is the most authentic, delicious ramen I have ever tasted. The place is small and quaint but it makes me feel like I am in Japan from what I have seen in videos. I have tried both the tonkotsu and spicy miso and love the flavor of each one. I always add the extra meat to have a bigger portion and fuller belly. I really enjoy the broth, the toppings, the meat, and the sauces and almost took a picture of my empty bowl I slurped down. I am not a huge gyoza fan ever but these pork ones with the sauce were delicious. Anytime we have come in here the people are always friendly and happy to serve us. Love love this place! read more

We have eaten here some time ago. We were going to Langley to get pizza but wanted to be able to dine outside with our dog so we went here instead. There are a few two tops outside for nicer days. We were seated right away as it was an overcast Saturday afternoon and full inside but not too busy in town. Very nice, engaging staff and everyone there and passers by had to give the pup some love. It's settled into the back c well that's because you were up there. It was really nicely tucked back into the back courtyard of a quaint retail property with cute condos above. This is a much calmer area of town with parking behind. It's always been one of our favorites of Langley. The servers brought a small edamame bowl and took our order. We got a shoyo and a tonkatsu ramen. They came fairly quickly and very tasty. I preferred my bowl slightly more than her Shoyu. Half an egg, nori sheet, and pork belly with both. We joked about going to stupid expensive Ramen instead of our fav pizza for sake of the pup. And we were right. It has now gone from $23 to $25 per little ramen bowl. So be prepared. The food options, quality, and service make it a worthy occasional splurge but we probably won't go often for this reason. The same money spent at pizza would have netted two ciders and some leftovers for the same amount for example. read more

I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this place sooner. I've been here a couple times now and it's always a great experience! Yes, the ramen is on the pricier side (around $23 a bowl), but they really deliver on quality and portion size. The toppings are generous, they add the perfect amount of noodles, and the pork is absolutely incredible! so tender and flavorful. Honestly, the quality of the pork here puts chain ramen spots to shame. I had the spicy miso this time, and I'd give it an 8.5/10. The broth had a strong ginger kick a bit too strong for my taste, especially since it wasn't mentioned on the menu. It was intense enough to sting my nose a bit. That said, it was still a delicious bowl overall and absolutely worth the long drive and ferry ride to get here. Bonus points for the easy parking (huge lot in the back with tons of space) and outdoor seating. Can't wait to come back again! read more

I was excited to try a new ramen place, and the wait wasn't overly obnoxious, so my party of six decided to give Ultra House a shot. Our excitement began to wane as we waited over half an hour for our food to arrive. People who arrived after us got their food before us, but I think the biggest culprit for the wait was online orders. The waitstaff were all nice- they were the best thing about this place. While the food was decent, it wasn't anything to write home about. If I am going to spend $23 for a bowl of ramen (which is rather ridiculous in my opinion) I expect it to be authentic and amazing. The broth for the tonkotsu ramen was delicious. Everything else was fine, but nothing special. I did appreciate that kids meals came with nori (seaweed) to munch on while waiting for the rest of the food. The restaurant itself was clean. I appreciated that the ends of the tables had hooks for purses or jackets. Also, there is a good selection of Japanese snacks available for purchase at the front counter. Interesting, but too expensive for what it is. read more

Ultra House just serves tasty comfort food, and they do it well. Noodle soups, dumplings, healthy selection of Japanese beer and sake. Service is quick and friendly. read more

If you're in Coupeville you need to find the red brick Road that leads to this outstanding ramen place in Langley Village. Parking is available in lots here and there behind as well as on the street. It has really personable service, and what looks to be a tiny kitchen but it cooks with convection very efficiently, Japanese style. There are Japanese craft beers, sake (hot and cold) and other drinks for sale, alongside imported snacks (see photos) that reminded me of childhood visits to the Japanese grocery in Toronto. "IRRASHAIMASE!" is the first thing they say when you walk in, so you feel welcomed and seen. And the first thing down on your table will be a bowl of edamame, complements of the house. The hospitality is wonderful. It's $20 for any bowl of Ramen on the menu. There are three different kinds of noodles including vegan, that are available with any Ramen bowl. (It was actually a close vegan friend who found the place during one of our visits to Whidbey Island and it's become a must come every time.) On a cold and rainy day it hits the spot like nothing else can. The broth is boiled for hours so the richness is undeniable. The flavor is incredible and the noodles are done perfectly. Brought a friend who had not had Ramen in a Ramen house before so he opted for the classic Tonkosu with pork slices and black garlic oil in bone broth, half an egg, spinach, naruto, etc. All the fixings and the trimmings that make a fantastic bowl of Ramen. I went with the spicy miso because I like a good kick and I think my friend preferred it as well. One of the impressive things to see on the menu was natto a very traditional fermented bean dish that old-school Japanese elders love. It's an acquired taste. Don't be surprised if you leave here a fan. $20 for the ramen, $10-$15 for drinks and snacks. read more

The food is excellent. Hits all your dietary friends needs, vegan, GF. Ramen for needs I wish I took pictures but we annihilated our meal in minutes flat read more

This place was okay... I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but if you're in the area and need for a ramen fix, it'll suffice. I must add I am very picky with ramen so please take that into consideration here... I haven't found anything that I like so far in WA. I definitely think it's an okay ramen but more so a place of convenience to curb a craving since this area is pretty far from anything else. The tonkotsu traditionally has white round noodles, not the curvy yellow noodles and that's a pet peeve for me. I am Japanese and have been to Japan about 10 times so this is why I'm so picky about this. The ramen was quite expensive $20 per. I was surprised they had a natto bowl... so i ordered that I believe it was $14... also pretty expensive. The service was quite slow but they were pretty busy. It is quite a small restaurant so expect to wait if you're visiting during peak hours. I was very impressed with their beer selection.. they were all japanese imports... $12/12oz. the Pilsner was delicious! read more

Ultra House - This is the cure to everything! - Ramen Near Me - Langley, Washington

This place is amazing !!! A must have place in this hidden gem in downtown Langley. The Ramen (i have had the pork, shrimp, vegetarian) are all amazing...the gyoza take time but so worth the wait. Sometimes it's slow, but one can see their chef working away and I just live the attention to the food. I feel it is a craft and la or of love for them. Again a hidden gem. I then stop off at the chocolate store around the corner for a delightful end to lovely meal. read more

Order the Spicy miso and can say... It wasn't spicy at all! Having said that the broth had a lot of depth and every sans the slightly undercooked noodles was good. Had the ramen been spicy and the noodles cooked it would have been a solid four stars. I enjoyed the flecks of ginger I could occasionally distinguish and I'm not a ginger fan. Service was good and prompt. I'll definitely give it another go since it is the only actual ramen worth a stop outside of the mainland! read more

I came here after reading so many positive reviews, expecting a proper bowl of ramen crafted with care and skill. Instead, what I got was a $20 insult to authentic ramen chefs everywhere. They're charging premium prices for what is essentially a Sun Noodle Ramen Kit - the kind you can buy at a grocery store. The toppings? Unseasoned boiled egg, preserved menma, ginger, and corn that lacked any depth or freshness. No effort, no care, no soul. It's a slap in the face to the craftsmanship and dedication that real ramen chefs put into their work. If you're going to charge $20 for a bowl, it better be made with fresh noodles, a broth simmered for hours, and thoughtful, well-seasoned toppings. This place clearly doesn't understand what ramen is supposed to be. Skip it and find a restaurant that respects the art of ramen. Don't be fooled by the hype. read more

Was visiting Langley during July 4th weekend, and Ultra House looked like a pretty enticing place to go enjoy some delicious ramen for dinner. We decided to swing by on a Sunday around 7pm to try and get seating. There was a 20 minute wait time for a walk in, and we were able to get seats after the waiting period. The restaurant itself is located in a plaza where there are several other shops in close proximity. There is plenty of parking in the downtown Langley area in the back of the restaurant and in the town center. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice and cozy! There were seats set up outside the restaurant, bar seating, high chair, and normal table seating. Plenty of Japanese themed decorations and a open view to the kitchen for you to see your food getting prepared. Though we came a holiday time where the restaurant wasn't expecting so many people, so we were unfortunately unable to try the meat protein options that Ultra House has to offer. But the owner was very accommodating and offered us a pork gyoza on the house since we were unable to try the original options we were looking for - which was really nice of them! The pork gyoza had a crispy bottom and a juicy filling. One thing that I found interesting was the small line of yuzu paste beneath the sauce - it had a deep citrus flavor that kinda tasted like pickles + yuzu + the effect of wasabi on your sinuses, I was a fan! I got the Spicy Miso with Vegan toppings which included fried tofu, mushrooms, spinach, corn, bamboo, and some other veggie options. The broth was creamy and had nice miso flavor, and also held onto the noodles which had good chew. The bowl of ramen was pretty hearty and did definitely leave me content. In the end, we spent about $42 for two bowls of ramen, which is an alright price given the quantity and quality of the food received. The service was pretty good and accommodating despite the fact that given we were not able to receive the original flavors of ramen we wanted. I would definitely like to revisit in the future to try the other flavors of ramen that Ultra House has to offer! (4.5 stars) read more

We originally wanted to check out another place but with the kids in tow and a two hour wait time we passed on our first spot and found this place. The fates wanted us to find this spot it seems because it was absolutely delicious. Comfortable and friendly setting with great accommodations for small kids-- their menu comes with some seaweed chips and we were offered some capri suns. Yes, we'll take whatever we can get to tame our small and hungry kiddos and they loved it. Also, they had a small little toy area it seemed which we grabbed a couple of things for our kids to play with as well. We ordered the potstickers, tori chicken ramen, pork rice bowl, kids chicken ramen and last the kids chicken rice bowl. Everything was absolutely delicious, the ramen was like a warm hug for the soul after lots of traveling with small kids and being six months pregnant. The staff were attentive and helpful and the atmosphere of the place was cozy and calm. Extremely happy with our experience and if we return to the island again someday this will be a staple for us after a long trip. read more

We visited Ultra House in the evening for dinner, and only had to wait about 10 minutes for indoor seating. They have a couple high top tables with backless metal stools, a larger community type table with regular chairs and some small outdoor tables. The staff was friendly, and service was prompt. The menu is slightly limited compared to other Ramen places I've tried, so if someone in your party isn't a ramen fan it will be hard for them to find something. We ordered the gyoza, spicy miso ramen (without mushrooms and green onion), and 2 Tonkatsu Ramen (one with fried tofu added). The gyozas were tasty, although I found a piece of what appeared to be bone in mine. It was unpleasant to bite into. My friend seemed to enjoy the spicy miso- it was very spicy. My tonkatsu was the one with tofu added, and my first bite was into that tofu...which was still ice cold. It was frozen in the middle. It tasted fine after I pushed it into the hot soup and it defrosted. The pork in the ramen was very moist and delicious, as was the soft boiled egg. I found the mushrooms to be very chewy. My broth was really salty- I could only eat half my bowl before it started to hurt my tongue/mouth. The other tonkatsu bowl wasn't as salty. Over all I probably won't be back. read more

Best bowl of ramen I've had in years! The Spicy Miso ($18) was a flavorful masterpiece! It's on the spendy side for a bowl of ramen but it is truly a work of art and definitely worth every penny. We were greeted right away and our server Dennis was very thoughtful. We had an edamame loving 4 year old with us and he brought out some extra just for her! It's a super cute little spot with an open kitchen and a little area where they sell merchandise from Japan. Pros Possibly the best ramen in Washington Great Japanese beer imports Complementary edamame starter Kids menu Intimate authentic vibe Cons Wouldn't be a good spot for a large party read more

ramen was tasty, they allowed me to sub an ingredient i didn't care for with something i preferred. the gyoza was good too. speedy service but the ambiance was a little cluttered, it's partially like a convenience store with toys candy and snacks available for purchase in addition to being a sit down restaurant. read more

I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen - incredibly creamy and flavorful broth. We were seated immediately and received our bowls very quickly. The restaurant is very clean and has a nice aesthetic, coupled with several imported snacks to add on your way out the door. It would be nice to see marinated eggs added as a future option, but overall this is a fantastic ramen spot. read more

At first, I thought it was going to be a regular ramen place, but when I ate the ramen it was delicious. It had amazing service, the staff was pretty cool. I will say that it is a bit pricey for 25$ a bowl. It did have a beautiful environment on the day I went. overall it was good but on the more pricey side read more

When my husband and I moved to WA, we kept trying to find ramen that is comparable to our favorite place back home. We hadn't found one anywhere that is close to being comparable in the year and a half that we have moved here. Until we found this gem. If only it weren't 3 hours away fro us, we would come every month. We very very hesitant when we walked in but the service and staff were very welcoming and friendly. it is a small place but worth the wait if there ever is one. We devoured our ramen before getting pictures it was soooo good. The BEST ramen we have had since moving to Washington hands down! read more

It's amazing to find this gem at Whidbey Island. The store is full of Japanese snacks and toys. If you squint hard enough you'll think that you're in Tokyo. The service is very personable. The waitress offered to substitute extra toppings because I asked them to omit a few items. I'm sure that they'll remember my name if I lived on Whidbey and visited them daily. read more

Over the moon to have a delicious vegan ramen experience here. As someone with a severe seafood/shellfish allergy and a deep love for Asian cuisine of all sorts, I often run into challenges finding safe spots to explore the cuisine on the road knowing how bonito flakes, fish sauce and oyster sauce are used so heavily and with little thought. Ultra House had a very clear menu that noted vegan/veggie options and the waitress assured me that she would let the chef know for extra precautions. Thank you, a Rachel! I ended up having the vegan ramen broth with vegetarian fillings of noodles, Bok Choy, corn, egg, black garlic oil, sesame, sliced ginger and mushrooms. It was so flavorful! I wish I could have packed ten to go bundles to carry home with me to Indiana for when the next craving hits (it's hard to find vegan broth!). We also had a a can of the milk tea and enjoyed the complimentary mini appetizer of edamame. This was such a delightful meal. Afterward, you can mosey your way through the alleys, shops and beach of charming downtown Langley. Again, can not recommend the vegan broth enough! read more

Sooo happy to discover a solid place for ramen on the island!!! Spicy miso had great depth of flavor, noodles were fresh and al dente, charsiu was tender and a great balance of meat and fatty cut, and all ingredients were fresh and nicely presented. So so good. Also tried the braised pork over rice dish... a lot of the topping ingredients were similar to the ramen but I didn't mind. The rice base came with some kind of chili garlic sauce, which made the dish different enough in flavor profile and textures to enjoy both distinctly. Service was friendly, price point was great, and lots of nostalgic japanese candy and variety of drinks were on hand and for sale as well. Highly recommend and will return! read more

I just had the best bowl of ramen since I was in Japan. Seriously. Ultra House in Langley is my new go-to spot when I'm craving ramen (which is often). Dennis, I believe, is the proprietor and he spent a good amount of time explaining the menu to us before bringing us a bowl of edamame. The Tonkatsu ramen was perfectly composed and complex - mushrooms delicious, noodles al dente, pork just tender enough. The broth was perfectly porky & creamy. The table was quiet as we ate - it was that good! read more

Boom. A great story brings authentic Japanese ramen to Langley. We sat down for lunch today on their patio and were treated to something pretty extraordinary. First off, the staff was fantastic. Excellent laid-back service. They made us feel welcome and at home right away. We had a little sake, some Japanese beer, Gyoza and two bowls of ramen (pork and shrimp). The shrimp is done in a vegetarian broth so can easily be subbed out for tofu for those so inclined. Everything was great. We left full, feeling like we had just time-traveled to a little ramen house in Tokyo. The owner wanted to bring the experience of Japan back home and I believe he has succeeded. read more

I had traveled from Texas to Washington to have some fun time with my grandma. We visited Langley on Widbey Island for a day and had the time of our lives! It was time for dinner around 6:00pm and didn't know where to eat. I found this place called Ultra House and thought it would be a good place to eat! Once we entered we were shocked by how amazing the place looked! The staff were EXTREMELY kind!! Once we found our table and looked at the menu, there were so many good options! I am a personal lover of ramen and anything spicy so of course I decided to go with the spicy miso ramen bowl! I 100% recommend it, it was so delicious I have no regrets of ordering it! My grandma had ordered a delicious looking bowl of tori chicken ramen and she most definitely enjoyed it! We were immediately given some fresh water and some edamame in a tiny bowl with another empty bowl for the leftovers. Everything was nicely laid out and looked absolutely stunning! I later on ordered milk tea and I can't explain how delicious it was!! I was given an empty cup with the milk tea so I can pour my desired amount, it was super sweet and delicious! My grandma had gotten some hot tea and she liked it very much! The staff was overall super kind towards us and they seemed to be having an amazing fun time there! They didn't look sad or like they didn't want to be there like most places! Super happy I got to come here during my visit and I hope to come again soon! read more
