This is authentic Japanese food in Seattle, and they’re open until 2 a.m., which makes it even better. I felt like I was eating in Japan. The atmosphere is great, the noodles are perfectly firm, and the soup is delicious. A must-try!

I’m so confused by the good reviews, I used to come here all the time and it used to be so good.
The service was confusingly bad. It wasn’t very busy and we were sat down then ignored and not given any menus or spoken to at all. Then the server/busser/dishwasher just asked us what we wanted. He also mispronounced both “miso” and “hakata”
The broth was super bland and our party ordered both the miso ramen and prawn ramen. The broth was the exact same. Both were really bad. The noodles were super soggy for some reason as well.
At the end, the owner or at least the person in charge asked us to tip in cash for some reason.
If you want anything close to authentic ramen, don’t come here. This Ramen kinda reminds me of buying a Japanese ramen packet. Bummer since I used to take all my friends here.

Oh wow. The best authentic ramen I’ve ever had! The atmosphere makes you believe you are in a little mom’s and pops restaurant in Japan. They have great selection of authentic Asian drinks and the most delicious ramen. Place is very tiny but so wonderful!

There’s a kind waiter that substituted the meal for my friend Omar who can’t eat pork. He suggested him a dry noodles which was really great and solved our problem! Great guy!

My experience this time was extremely disappointing. As soon as I entered the restaurant, the person behind the counter rudely told me to stop walking and look at the menu on the wall, then immediately said, “only pork-based, no vegetarian options here.” This assumption felt unnecessary and discriminatory, as they seemed to base it purely on how I looked.
When I told them my actual order, they seemed shocked, then turned to their colleague and giggled, saying things like, “I thought she’d want veg.” The tone and behavior were unprofessional and made me feel unwelcome.
I’ve been a regular at Betsutenjin and have often recommended it to friends, but after this experience and the way I was treated, I won’t be returning. Unfortunately, you’ve lost a regular customer.

This place is amazing! Great staff and great food! But this place is obviously understaffed and a good business owner should take that seriously.

Really cool atmosphere and service was great. The ramen wasn't my favorite style as it was a little on the sweeter side but I still enjoyed my meal. Would recommend trying it out, probably much more vibey later in the night if you're looking for a drink.
The broth is so rich and fatty, it almost tastes like they added cream. I love this place. Feels authentic, its a hole in a wall and open late. The perfect nite in cap hill is dinner here, bowling at the garage or arcade across the street and karaoke at rock box. The Trifecta. Love this ramen place. Best in Seattle

The broth tested like light sweet brown water, if I was Gordon Ramsey I would call it sink water... The service was ok, the lady was not there. Came some time ago and was much better
