Noodles in Lopez Island, WA

“We felt compelled to leave a good review for the Setsunai team.
We first came here in Dec 2020. It was wonderful experience that we still have sweet memories about the food dedication, clean food, atmosphere and service there.
We only came back after 5 full years and wanted to stop by and only realized they have recently relocated to a new address.
Quick check on recent Google reviews and got a bit skeptical. We went in anyway to try. The food was at the same exceptional quality we remembered and the team did not disappoint!
I personally have been to many famous ramen places, in Seattle, SF, NYC, Tokyo, Osaka, HK, SG etc this is absolutely one of my favorites. You can tell the team make the noodles, broth, pickled vegetables and everything in house. They use the cleanest ingredients (no addictive or garbage). We tried the Shoyu Pork and Black sesame salmon. I would agree it’s not a conventional ramen place you envision. But I recalled I watched a food series where a popular ramen store in Japan added tomatoes into their ramen and got critics. At the end of the day, good food and passion stand above everything.
Though I must say I missed the little wooden hut it once located. Now it’s a mix of old Style American diner and ramen. I understand the team wanted to revive a historic landmark on the island and I respected it.
It’s worth every penny and the long trip here again in 5 years!
Thanks!“
