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

Betsutenjin has had one of the worst fall offs I’ve seen. They used to be a great establishment, serving good pork ramen, but now often run out of pork broth and serve their ramen with watery chicken broth instead. Sometimes they inform you ahead of time, other times they just serve it to you without telling you. In my opinion that’s a very shady practice. They are also unreliable with their hours and seating.

The Hakata Ramen is already really good but they have this really strong shuyu that can add - it turns sweet in the broth and takes it to the next level. Feels just like a cozy neighborhood ramenya.

Use to be really good. Ramen not as good. Service confusing and frustrating.
Waited 30 minutes on our food but never came. Lady was rude.

The food is delicious and I love the seating BUT it took an hour to get our food, pretty sure she forgot about us because they were not busy at all. Then she realized she forgot us and still took another 15 minutes to bring the food out. The food was good then we wanted to pay because we need to get home and we tell her we are ready to pay. Instead of coming and taking our payment she started taking everyone else’s payments including two groups who got there way after us. My boyfriend had to full on wave her down to take our payment. Sucked to have this experience

Best broth I've ever had.
Update 9/11/25: Spot is still maintained really well and the woman who works on the floor alone is always lovely and such a hard worker. I come here whenever I'm in Seattle for a late night bite, but this time specifically noticed kitchen staff was different than the usual folks and the ramen itself and broth wasn't up to par with its usual. Might've been an off night as they were busy, but something to note. Every other time I've come very spaced out over the years has been lovely. Staff was still great with service on this night though, food was just lacking a tad.
