I was in Seattle for the weekend and wanted to eat ramen in the rainy weather. Tried this Ramen place and when I was reading the menu, a lot of their broths are soy sauce, salt, or miso based, not the typical pork bone broth. I got the Black Garlic Miso without onions. They give you a whole egg but it's not the soy sauce marinated egg & only 1 piece of chashu The ramen didn't really stand out to me. The server was very straight forward and blunt too. They also literally charge for everything, hot tea, and the spicy paste & they give you only like a tablespoon of. There is plenty of parking as it is in a plaza with 99 ranch and other stores. I was scared that there was going to be a wait but there was only 1 other party in the restaurant. read more

Yua Ramen - 4. Black Garlic Miso - Ramen Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Every time I've been to Yua, it has been a fantastic experience. They have the best ramen in the area. Their location has ample parking, is always very clean, and staffed with very nice, very thoughtful staff. Iljun is always amazing, one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Her attention to detail is fantastic and she's so sweet that it's impossible to be in a bad mood there. The food is always delicious and in all of my trips there, I've never had a bad dish or bad experience. The vibe there is great and they are usually playing soft jazz or piano music. I live further away now, but I will go out of my way to go to Yua. I wish I could give them 6 stars! read more

This is a great Ramen house with a lot of Japanese influence in the interior. With both single seats (just like they do in Japan for all you ramen snobs), and group seatings, once you enter wait for the host to direct you towards your seat. My favorite menu item has the be the shoyu ramen or the tan tan men ramen. The broth is rich and flavorful, which goes perfect with the noodles. I prefer thick noodles but thin noodles are good too. Their takoyaki and karrage are also very well fried. I love a good takoyaki with my ramen. Yum!! Highly recommend this ramen spot read more

What a find! Stopped by on a Monday for lunch and this place is such a gem. There's a copy of the menu as you walk up and wait to be seated. However, if you're picking up an order make your way to the service window and someone will be out to help. I dined in and impressed by the options. Ordered the miso ramen and made it a combo with a side of karaage. Order came out quick enough, ramen piping hot with a marinated egg half. The ambiance is nice and minimal, it didn't feel crowded and although a small space didn't smell like disinfectant. I will definitely be back! read more

Came here while in the area and craving ramen! Yua is located in a strip mall with other Asian stores and restaurants, and may be hard to miss in between the shops, but was a pleasant visit! A great intimate interior and service was so friendly. I had the black garlic miso ramen - it was garlicky which I loved and just what I needed in terms of a hearty, warm broth. The karaage and takoyaki were equally good and came with a side of salad which helped balance things. All in all a great little find if you are in the area and craving ramen. read more

Wonderful service. Delicious ramen! We've been coming for 6 months now and it's always consistent.

The food was awesome flavorful and tasty!! very nice and fast service. good music playing the while time wonderful do recommend. I ordered the meatball pho it came quickly and had plenty of toppings and they gave me a mint on the way out :) read more

Although I wasn't aware of how long they've been around, I'm really glad we decided to give this restaurant a try! Luke and I both enjoyed the restaurant, he loves spicy ramen, and katsu curry was a hit for me. However, the karaage left me a bit disappointed due to its dryness. I believe in honesty, but I'm eager to explore other dishes on the menu during future visits. On a positive note, the server was incredibly kind and friendly, adding to the overall experience. I recommend this place, especially considering its proximity to 99 Ranch! read more

My partner and I stopped in last night and we will definitely be back. We got the katsu pork rice bowl and the black miso ramen along with the honey garlic karaage. So flavorful and very filling! I'm not a ramen fanatic but I loved their ramen here. Pricing was not bad at all. We got seated right away, food turn around was quick, and the service was very hospitable. Clean and friendly place. read more

A bit expensive since they raised prices recently, but the taste is pretty good. It has a nice cozy feel, and usually not much of a wait if at all, service can be a tad slow sometimes. read more

Ordered yua ramen, black garlic ramen with extra chasu, okonoyaki, and garlic chasu fried rice. Came here cuz everything else was closed for Christmas. Thank God I did, the black garlic ramen and chasu fried rice are must orders. The fried rice is one of the best dishes ive had the last couple months. For the ramen, make sure to get extra chasu because they only give 1 small slice by default. Funny enough, this place is called yua ramen but the hua ramen dish is super ordinary. read more

While at home, I came across Yua Ramen as a newish spot in Edmonds which had some useful Yelp posts already (8/27/19). I decided I needed some much needed sustenance after staying home today. Ramen and izakaya, no need to twist The Homie's arm to accompany me. Plus this spot had later hours than most, open until 2130. Yua Ramen is located in between T&T Seafood and 99 Ranch Market, in the former spot that had housed Arashi Ramen. I recalled dining at AR at least four times here and once in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, but simply preferred other ramen spots. It was a little after 2000, only another two top were dining. We were greeted warmly upon entering, seated, given menus and ice water. The Homie also had a hot green tea. The interior wasn't altered much from former AR decor, jazz background music overhead, and the occasional odd sound like knife sharpening from the kitchen. Onward! We ordered a Honey Garlic Chicken Karaage appetizer...came with a mini side of greens topped with sesame dressing. Served as nicely portioned pieces versus unwieldly large ones. The menu had a nice selection of other appetizers, but we were comparing this from other go to spots. The karaage held its own, very tasty and moist! Definitely fresh and not overcooked mcnugget-like. The Homie ordered the Black Garlic Ramen which came with a thicker noodle, chashu, egg, green onion, fried onion, but requested without bean sprouts. It was served piping hot, with an appreciated toothsome noodle, succulent chashu, jammy egg, and flavorful broth. Met with The Homie's approval. I was torn between the curry katsudon from the donburi menu section, but opted for the Shoyu Ramen, no alteration. This too had a piping hot, complex broth...thankfully not salty or overpowering. Just right. Same assessment as The Homie. Definitely next time will spring for more chashu and another egg. Very unassuming, but delicious components to my comforting bowl. Service was attentive but unobstrusive. Definitely we were kept well hydrated with ice water, none of that trendy tepid stuff. Granted we were the only remaining table 40 minutes later, so no surprise there. App plate was cleared except for a few salad remnants. Both ramen bowls were completely consumed of its tasty contents. Left satiated and not stuffed. Goldilocks just right. Yua Ramen is a great addition to the Asian restaurant choices along Highway 99. Convenient also for us northenders in Shoreline, Edmonds, Lake Forest Park, Mountlake Terrace, and Lynnwood. Free parking! A worthy visit if you have a rice bowl and/or ramen craving. read more

This is the absolute best ramen place I've been to. It's a medium-sized location, and the interior is nice, clean and relaxing, and the seating isn't too squished together. Their ramen selection is about a dozen choices, which is good because it's focused and the quality is consistent. They don't skimp on meat or eggs like some places do. The hostess is super nice, too. Their Miso Tonkotsu is really good, though all of their broths are tasty. Try the Okonomiyaki appetizer as well, it's great. I've been going here for years and I realized I never left a review. The place never seems bustling, which is surprising. They deserve as much business as they can get. They're also very affordable, especially for the quality. That's a rarity nowadays. Check them out if you're in the area! read more

Delicious, crave-able ramen. I order the veggie ramen, served with a miso soy milk broth and thin noodles. The service is nice and the dining room is nice and relaxing. read more

I am a Washington transplant, who lived in Brier for many years before relocating, upon retirement to S Carolina. This was my go-to ramen restaurant when I lived here, and am currently visiting so thought I see if it was still here. Was so happy to see that it was/is. I had their Shotu Tonkotsu and was not disappointed. Delicious & filling! Thank you for still being here. read more

I will never get ramen anywhere else! Not only is every single dish (and yes I've tried them all) unbelievably tasty and well rounded, but the owners are the sweetest and most welcoming presence! If you want fantastic food and an even better customer experience; I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Yua Ramen is a must try. Upon walking in, the restaurant's decor is simple and aesthetically pleasing. The staff was respectful of covid precautions (wearing masks) and we were seated as further away from other tables, as possible. The waitress was friendly and prompt. I ordered the gyoza (not pictured), the okonomiyaki, the honey garlic karaage, and the black garlic miso ramen. The gyoza was deep-fried (something I'm not used to with gyoza). It was simple, not too oily, and the filling was not dry. The honey garlic karaage was served with a little salad garnish. The honey garlic karaage was not as crispy as I would have liked it, however it was flavorful, moist, and perfectly cooked. The okonomiyaki was a standout. The Japanese cabbage pancake had an amazing crispy exterior (slightly charred, but it only added a smokier flavor to it, which I enjoyed) and a moist, delicious interior texture, with a balanced cabbage to batter ratio. It was topped with bonito, japanese Mayo, tonkatsu sauce, and nori, which enhanced the creamy pancake and provided sweet and umami notes in every bite. It was a pleasant surprise! Now, for the "popular" the black garlic miso ramen. I had it customized just slightly; I substituted the thick noodles (with thin noodles), added nori, and asked them to make it "spicy". All I can say is "WOW". The broth was thick, velvety, and strong (but not overwhelming) in its black garlic and pork flavor; the umami-ness was amazing. The black garlic provided this smoky, aged depth to the broth enhancing a delicious tonkatsu broth to the next level. The spice level was perfect, as it was not too spicy and provided an overall warming sensation to the palette. The charsu pork was slightly fatty, but that made it incredibly tender and it melted in my mouth. It was one of my favorite ramen bowls I've had in the PNW area and comparable to ramen I've had in Japan. The price was reasonable; for two bowls of ramen and three appetizers it was $55 dollars (with tax). I would definitely recommend Yua Ramen to anyone in the area and I'm looking forward to coming back. 4.5/5 read more

The food was amazing. Loved everything I tried. You cannot go wrong. Service was great and will go back when I head that way again.

Takoyaki was delicious! Tonkatsu ramen was on point. Service was good. Ambiance was ok, could have been better.

First time trying a ramen restaurant and it was delicious! The lady that helped us was super nice The restaurant has a nice ambiance and great spot to go if you're craving ramen. (The karaage chicken was also very good) read more

I'm accustomed to pork bone broth items. But I love miso. So, I tried their miso ramen. It was good. I also had the small takoyaki. It was also good Good enough that after I was done, I ordered the 6 piece to go. I knew I'd enjoy that for dinner later. Great front-of-house. Yeah, I'll be back read more

It's...okay. I saw some rave reviews and wanted to try it, but it didn't live up to the hype :/ Karaage 2* only six pieces, but they were medium sized. Very crispy (overfried?) and heavy breading, so not very karaage-like. Flavor was pretty bland as well. Not worth it in my opinion and I wouldn't get again. Black garlic miso ramen: 2.5* Noodles were good, the egg was perfectly cooked, the chasiu was flavorful, and there were a good amount fried onion (although they did melt into the broth pretty quickly and just sadly added a sort of burnt flavor) The issue was the broth, it was...sweet. First impression was almost like drinking essence of sesame candy. If you didn't get too much broth, the rest of the ingredients were okay, but ramen is all about the delicious broth! Basically, I wouldn't recommend and wouldn't get this again. Shoyu Tonkatsu ramen: 3* Again, the dry ingredients were all very good. The broth didn't have that deep Tonkatsu flavor I was expecting, or much shoyu flavor...it kinda tasted like a fish broth? Not sure why a soy sauce pork bone broth tasted of fish, but there you go. This was the best of the night, but was still lacking. Overall: I wouldn't try again since the broths left something to be desired, but maybe it's just not my flavor? read more

Tasty made to order hot steaming bowl of ramen with rich flavorful broth. We ordered two different bowls and enjoyed then both. Check it out. read more

Great ramen, subtle depth of flavor and not too salty which is my most common complaint at ramen places. Dedicated, friendly, almost subservient service. Smaller bowls, get a side if your super hungry. read more

Yua Ramen got off to a rough start. However it is one of those rare restaurants that continues to improve. My last bowl of spicy ramen was as good as the previous restaurant that was her. Agi dashi dofu is as good as it gets, anywhere. Note if you click the top order food button you will be ordering through Grub Hub and paying higher prices. If you call it in to the Yua square site it will be a buck or two cheaper each dish. read more

We ordered through DoorDash delivery. What's good: Packaging was neat and secure Half an egg was included in the ramen. No add-on needed. Cha-siu was good looking. Noodles was not soggy. What's not: The broth: this is the soul of ramen. I tried the Black Garlic Miso and Shoyu Tonkotsu. The Black Garlic Miso was lacking both garlic and miso flavors. It weirdly reminded me of sesame paste, but at the same time it wasn't creamy enough. I think it was missing aroma oil too. The Shoyu Tonkotsu was also liquidy and too bland; unfortunately I didn't taste a lot of bone broth either. The toppings were also average. It was missing menma and mushroom in the tonkotsu. Basically the bowl only had chasiu, egg, bean sprouts, and seaweed. The Garlic Miso also had fried shallot (?) but I wish there were fried garlic, if they wanted something extra. The noodles texture was okay. It wasn't bouncy enough and reminded me of spaghetti noodles. I think in Seattle area, the best noodles texture is Ooink in Capitol Hill. Unfortunately I will not come back based on my experience. read more

Our family loves this new-found Ramen place! The wait staff is so graceful and friendly that it brings me back to our time in Japan! My favorite dish is the Black Garlic Miso Ramen - so rich and flavorful, not too salty. The pork slice (charsiu) has a good mix of fat and it just melts in your mouth, and the soft-boiled egg is cooked just right! My youngest teenage son loves the rice dishes, specifically the Katsu Curry and Katsu Don. The Katsu is nice and crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside; the curry is a thick curry that coats the chicken and doesn't water down to soak the rice beneath. And to top it off, the menu prices are super reasonable! The Garlic Ramen here is $4 cheaper than the Garlic Ramen at another favorite Ramen resto in Northgate. After dinner, head next door to Bambu for dessert, like Pandan waffles and Che! read more

Yua Ramen - Black Garlic Miso Ramen - Yum! - Ramen Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

10 out of 10, can recommend. This was our third try at a restaurant on a Saturday. Apparently quite a few places close at 8:30 on the weekends ‍ We got there about 20 minutes to close, unbeknownst to us, and were greeted by a really nice lady. There was what could only be described as jazzy elevator music playing and it was actually very nice! Lovely even. My partner had a vegetarian ramen, his mom a rice dish (I can't remember), and I, the spicy tan tan men. We also got an egg roll order and edamame. Everything was so good! The noodles had a little bit of bite to them (Al dente) and the broth was rich and flavorful without being too greasy or salty! And they didn't rush us at all! We'll definitely be going back. I had been looking for a ramen standard to add to my restaurant Rolodex. I found it! (Price wise, the three mains, eggrolls (2) and edamame came out to $64, which I think is very reasonable for the quality!) read more

I went to Yua the first time tonight after it took over from Arashi earlier this year. Unfortunately, I would say Arashj was better. The ramen tasted decent, but it was salty and I do not have much to say about it. The flavor of the broth was not complexed enough for me. The pork belly slices were very thin. I am a 5 feet tall small female, even I did not feel quite full after having their standard size ramen bowl. We also tried the fried chicken, it was decent also, but nothing special either. My experience here was not bad, but not impressed either. read more

Very good place to eat out. It is the best restaurant to eat a good noodle. We love this restaurant.

I'm a ramen snob. This ramen is really good. Outside of Kizuki and JinYa, this place is awesome. Server was great. Nudged in his recommendations without being overbearing or annoying in the slightest. The Tonkatsu was a bit plain but that's my fault, I usually get spicy but decided to go with the basic stuff since it's a new spot for us. The pork belly was perfectly flavored and so was the egg. Def going back. read more

maybe it was an off day for them? the noodles were soft and mushy. i know their broth is strictly tonkotsu style, but the broth was, ummmm, slimey? i'm not sure how to describe it. when i asked for shichimi i received a blank look. when i explained it was a japanese red pepper i was brought some ground cayenne because that is all they had. read more

This used to be called Arashi Ramen, and now seems to be under a new name and ownership. It doesn't seem very busy, which is surprising since their ramen is so good. Everything is really fresh, and delicious. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere and decor are inviting. It's become my fav ramen place, even beating out Muto and Kizuki. The miso tonkotsu ramen is highly recommended! read more

Yua Ramen - 3. Miso Tonkatsu with bamboo shoots - Ramen Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I'm always itching for a good ramen bowl after having been in Japan a few times. It's sad Arashi Ramen had to change over but now we have this Yua Ramen! Decor is still pretty much the same, the menu is new. I ordered the Green Curry Ramen which comes with karaage in the bowl and it was sooo good. Fantastic first order. There's two mini wedges of lime that I squeezed in and I loved it. Good balance of curry flavor with a hint of spice, brightness from the lime, not too salty or thick of a broth. The noodles were thin, some corn kernels, and everything in the bowl went well with everything else. 10/10 on this ramen, I would definitely get it again. My mom got the black garlic ramen and it had quite a thick broth. She said some people actually get a cup of hot water and pour it in their ramen at some places and she was tempted to do that, but she just asked for some lime this time. Hopefully it isn't always that thick? It came with chashu pork and an egg in the side, and thicker yellow noodles (she says to only get the thinner noodle). Not as pleasant of a black garlic ramen as we would've liked. We also arrived at the same time as about 3-4 other people and thought that the ramen took quite some time to prepare, it was a noticeable wait since it was quiet. The onions(?) on all bowls of ramen also came out burnt. Hopefully they can improve, I'd love to go back and try some of the other bowls. read more

Fast and friendly service and very reasonable prices. Place is cozily appointed for being located in a mall. Parking can be tricky due to the supermarket and other restaurants nearby, but it's worth the trip. Had the Black Garlic Miso Ramen with a side salad and Honey Garlic Karage chicken. Both were phenomenal. The Ramen had a wonderful smokey oily flavor, almost char-like with a perfectly seasoned broth and the Karage deserves a special shout out. Perfectly crispy with a nice sweet ginger finish. Super reasonable prices as well! Great place overall and I'll definitely be back for more. read more

Just ordered this via DoorDash for the first time. Ordered two curry chicken ramen bowls and a tofu appetizer. The appetizer was actually good, very flavorful. Loved it. The ramen? Probably the worst I've ever had. I typically go to Muto in Lynnwood, but decided to try something different. This ramen was so bad. Noodles were undercooked, flavorless and the chicken was cold in the center. The chicken tasted like it was pre-cooked, frozen and maybe microwaved and thrown in the soup. Portion was quite small as well. It was highly disappointing. Lesson learned. Never again. read more

Tried this place as I was able to try the place before this. Very friendly and quick service when I was seated. When the ramen came it looked great. The black garlic miso is what I thought it would taste like. Not too salty. I'd come back and the price is good as it includes egg. I was full after eating the bowl of ramen. read more

The short of it: this place is not good. The ramen tasted decent, but I got barely any of it. There wasn't enough soup. I straight up only got one piece of pork with my Miso Tonkotsu, and it reeked and was too fatty. The service was weird. After all was said and done, my stomach hurt because of something I ate at this ramen place. I give it a "fail". read more
