Easily my favorite ramen spot in the north Seattle area. The Mala ramen has a deliciously spicy flavor, and the char siu is SO good. Highly, highly recommend if you’re looking for something cozy and warming during the cooler months.

You order by touchscreen. The food used to be better, but this time the meat (cha shu) was super dry. The soup was good, the noodles are a bit on the low quality end. It was not like it used to be. Would go once but don't come back.

Full marks. Mala garlic ramen 10/10. Tough parking, gotta take street, but the food comes so fast. I parked in the clinic garage next door and was gone 15 min later. Possibly best ramen I’ve had in Seattle

Got the mala ramen and the mala kotteri ramen. Both the broths were extremely oily and the pork slice was very thick and chewy. Both my partner and I fell sick after having this. Would not be returning.

30 bucks for a bowl of soup.... if you are ok with that (you are part of the problem), then this is the place for you! It IS good.

This is how you fuse culinary influences together! The spices, the broth, the made-from-scratch approach! The broths have so much depth, the noodles bouncy and firm, the pork was melt in your mouth good with a deep complex flavored. The fried chicken was very, very balanced with a crunchy and delicate balance. Self-seat and self-service, but the owner really checks in throughout the meal. Well worth the price, which is not cheap.

With such great ramen elsewhere in Seattle, this place is just not worth the visit.
Pros: food came out quickly, restaurant was a casual vibe, outdoor seating available, lots of free street parking.
Cons: EDM played at max volume made it hard to hear people at the same table, entire experience was self-serve, drinks came out from the kitchen with lipstick stains, and the restaurant smelled like a bathroom. To boot, the ramen was overpriced, under seasoned, and served lukewarm.

This place is my go-to spot for ramen in Seattle! There are a ton of great places to get ramen here, but this one really stands out. The flavor and quality are top-notch. I’m a big fan of spicy ramen, and these guys make some of the best I’ve ever had.

The first time we tried Ooink, we got take out. It was fine, but a bit salty.
We tried going and got hooked. The Shoyu Ramen is great and the pork breaks apart with chopsticks so perfectly. The broth is mildly salty and savory. For add-ons, I like the mushrooms and seaweed, but this is honestly great even without.
You know I actually wasn't a fan of the Ooink when I visited their Capital Hill location but perhaps they were having an off day because a second visit to this Fremont location has me changing my time. The ramen was really good this time! The noodles were an ideal texture and the broth was the perfect temperature and consistency.

Best ramen in the city and damn near the best outside of Japan.
We ordered through Doordash and the food traveled well. Fried chicken showed up juicy and crisp. Vegetarian ramen was super flavorful. We'll order again.
