The Hakata Ramen has incredible broth! It has light natural sweetness and goes very well with other ingredients. Lobster salad was so good and savory

Betsutenjin was my favorite Ramen spot in Seattle, however, their quality has gone down significantly while the price has increased. The broth has been watered down significantly and the prawn miso Ramen does not have much flavor anymore. Would not recommend.

Betsutenjin Ramen - Soup for the Soul
The vibe can described as 1980s Mom & Pop Ramen in some alleyway that the locals absolutely cherish. And for me, well the food was great. The Gyoza juicy and the Hakata ramen was smooth with this gentle sweetness to it. Betsutenjin is always a great spot to sit down of a bowl of ramen when out on those late nights on the hill. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

the ramen was pretty decent, the only issue is that they were SUPER understaffed. we waited for maybe an hour ~ hour and a half when we were tild it would be a 30 minute wait. so like maybe we should have just left, but we felt like we needed to stick it out, we just really wanted ramen ig. then it also took a really long time to order and get the food becuase there were like 2 people working (so hey general manager you should probably staff a restaurant better to prepare for a busy friday night). they also fogot some of the food we ordered (ehich they did take off of the bill afyer we pointed that out). anyways, the food was fine and the decor was really cool, but i would just say it is NOT worth the wait.

Look, this is a small operation with gigantic flavor. They specialize in authentic Hakata style tonkotsu ramen. It's pork based broth with traditional seasonings available to add. It's not extremely salty which I enjoy! Broth is creamy and the meat used absolutely cooked to perfection. Also, you must add a soft boiled egg. The atmosphere is definitely casual and the lighting is dim and cozy. Everything on the walls are types of authentic Japanese drinks you can get. The hot saki really was delightful and easy to ask for. The people who work there are kind and direct, and have good knowledge to what each type of saki/ beverage is like. The menu is small but everything I've tried on it in previous visits is in fewer terms, perfect.

Shady restaurant that added an 18% service charge without informing us causing me to tip 40%. I’d report this place to the Better Business Bureau if you see this yourself.

Ramen shop opened at 6:30pm. Unfortunately, only the server showed up for work on time. An hour went by and the cook still hadn’t arrived. By this point, the restaurant was full of waiting customers, so the server cooked the ramen. I’m confused as to why they even opened up shop without the cook. Kudos to the server though. Even though the hastily made ramen wasn’t the best, he went above and beyond in a stressful situation. Only reason I didn’t give our experience 1 star is because the server handled himself well.

Our group had a really negative experience here. The flavor was extremely sweet. The bowl was about half full of broth and everyone in our group thought the flavor was very off.
To top it off we were also overcharged by misleading tactics where they charge a service charge for our group of 5 without notifying us and we unknowingly paid an extra tip.
To be clear to the restaurant staff: most places that have this type of service charge have the server disclose it as well as having it on the payment receipt prior to processing payment. Since you use a digital card reader it's especially important to mention it so the customer doesn't feel taken advantage of.

Great place, pretty authentic looking and tasting. Service is no frills, but fast and efficient. Soup tasted great and I loved all the dried garlic that were offered as condiments. Recommended.

Qualityyyy went down. Paid for the combo, never received lobster salad, didnt even bother asking about because it wasn't even busy and if you can't even remember small details -- not worth my effort in even asking or trying. Save your money and time and go elsewhere
