Love their vegan ramen options , they have a whole vegan menu! You can choose your noodle size (I suggest the thick), broth strength, and spicy level. I usually get their Shio or Miso with the vegan gyoza. I legit go here once every 2 weeks. Great for hangovers too ! Love it here

I loved that they have a separate vegan menu with multiple ramen and sides options. I tried Classic, Curry and Negi-Goma vegan ramen along with vegan dumplings. Everything was delicious. We did wait in line for some time, but it was worth it.

This place always has a line of people waiting, but it moved quickly enough as I tried it for the first time. The waitstaff was friendly, attentive and answered the few questions that we had. It was obvious that they take serious the vegan side of their menu. Great food, service, and vibe. Updated from previous review on 2024-12-01

Great ramen spot in capital hill with friendly staff, and draft beer. Delicious vegan ramen, with a great range of toppings and ability to customise. I loved the miso medium broth, mushrooms and tofu on top. Gyozas were just okay, but loved the different lunch set choices.

Tried the Vegan Miso ramen here, and it’s the best vegan/vegetarian ramen in Seattle! The broth is rich and flavorful, and goes perfectly with thin noodles (a must-try). Portions are big, so come hungry! Heads up, there's usually a 30-40 min wait after 7 pm, and they don’t take reservations, so arriving early helps.

After seeing the reviews I was excited to try this place! My husband and I incorrectly ordered off of the vegan menu and requested to switch to meat ramen after our mistake in ordering. It was difficult requesting meat ramen with our waiter , as he stated it was our fault for ordering off of the wrong menu. We are from California and our first time here! We spoke with Roong (I hope I spelled it right) and he helped us resolve the situation and enjoy the rest of the meal. So delicious !!?

Good vegetarian food.
I tried Japanese for the first time and I don't prefer anything other than Indian cuisine.

But this was really good.
Classic veg ramen soup (closely resembled rasam or manchow soup) with thin noodles firm and vegan gyozo (tasted like Delhi momos).

Loved it especially how warm it is during a winter day. The line was terrible and even though we reached at 5:30 pm and waited for ~20 min people after us might have waited for an hour or so.

Also tried miso as we loved classic ramen and that flavor was different and we didn't like it.

Thanks for the food restaurant. Loved it.

I wish I could give a higher review, but our waiter really spoiled the experience for us. We waited quite a while for someone to take our order, and after seeing others who sat down after us place their orders before us, I waved someone down to say that we were ready to order. He told us he'd be with us in a minute.
After finally getting to us and taking our order, he never checked in on us throughout the meal. Another server had to come by and give us the bill.
The food was pretty good despite all that.

I visited Ramen Danbo for the first time when I was in Seattle in 2023. Now that I’ve moved here, I visit at least once a week. Ramen Danbo’s Miso Rekka Vegetarian Ramen is one of the best ramen options for vegetarians. The richness and spiciness of the broth feels like a god-sent booster in the weather of Seattle. I always choose spicy, because I love it.

The first and only flavorful veggie ramen! Such an umami rich and flavorful broth. Great noodles and additions. Been here so many times and it never gets old.

I've been visiting Ramen DANBO for about six years now, and it still tastes just as good. The place is always packed, and I love the lively vibe. As a vegetarian, I opted for the vegan broth and classic ramen this time—Togarashi powder is a must for that extra kick of spice.

The serving size is generous, and the basic ramen is well-priced. However, any add-ons can be a bit pricey, like $5 for just five thin slices of tofu.

I also tried the mochi ice cream for dessert, and the strawberry flavor was the perfect chewy, refreshing finish to the meal.

Vegetarian options: A must try if you are around Seattle.

The thin sliced pork in the ramen is very mediocre and was actually cold in my bowl. The broth and noodles are alright. Surprisingly, I thought my friend’s veggie broth was better tasting than the pork based one. Overall quite dissapointing, would only recommend this place for vegetarians.
