I tried coming here once with friends during the dinner hour and we put our name on the waitlist inside after being told it would be about an hour wait. After coming back after an hour, we checked in to see where we were at on the list. We asked the staff how long it would be, and they told us our name wasn't there even though we pointed it out at the front tablet. They said we'd need to put our name back on the list and wait another hour. Our name seemed to be on the yelp waitlist at the front door, but not on their personal tablet when we asked. We are students and had our bags after coming from class, so we assumed maybe they do not like students coming, even though we came for the student discount. This was very disheartening, so we just left. A couple months later, I came back with one friend and had no problem getting in. After waiting to try this place, it honestly was just okay. Being able to get the student size upgrade was nice, but the portion size still did not feel worth it for the price. The soup was bland and did not have very much of the additional ingredients in the soup. The table spice made it better though. I get that this place is more upscale being in UVill.. but really, it was not worth it. As a student who likes ramen, there are other places closer to the university that are better and actually want to serve students. If you're a student, save your dignity and money and try another place.

I really loved the experience here! The tables are tight but they put dividers everywhere which is very Japanese to do!!!Service was so great! They had a small water for my baby and a kids menu.The combo ramen deal is not a deal price wise but they priced it right on the menu so you kind of have to do it. My friend ordered the husky roll I think and also the baos.I'm shocked tea does not come with your meal like water!!! That was the only disappointing thing. I think it was 8$ for a pot of tea which is just such a rip off to me!!!

Oh my god this place is so good! I've went here a couple times now and the food is delicious and not too expensive considering it's in U Village. I recommend the Kara Miso Ramen. The waiters are also so kind! They always explain the different flavors of each type of ramen, and they make recommendations and serve based on your own liking. I went with my dad, and he loves the garlic tonkotsu ramen at Kizuki Izakaya. The waiter suggested which ramen would match best to his favorite ramen and even brought garlic paste to make sure the flavors are right. Will 100% be returning!

Literally like any chain ramen places, I am not surprsied that they have consistent flavour, but to try their unique broth and on top of that walk out be extremely satisfied of the place is hella rare for me.The food really caught on the full 3 stars for me, but everything else got the 0.5 star though. Granted our waiter was very kind and extremely nice, but everything other than that, was just meh for me. The restaurant was dirty, as you can tell the amount of dust sitting on top of the awnings, and the waiter got our drinks wrong too. SIGH.Sometimes, y'all need to confirm with the table first about the order before putting it in.I am just happy the food was on point, and that all the condiments were placed there for you to use. So thank god. I am happy that there was actually vinegar to be used at a ramen spot. Thank god. And yes, I am not a crazy person who uses all the vinegar, I use it after my first sip of broth and after a couple bites in.But anyways, I will for sure be kinda passing by this place next time if I had other food options to go to in Seattle.

Just fine, greeting was warm but goodbye was non existent. Food was mediocre for the price. Samurai noodle is just down the street, cheaper and better.
Love this place! Last time I went we had a server named Yong (apologies if I spelt it wrong) and he was super nice and friendly. Prices are good and the ramen is great, love the tea

It's much more delicious than you think. It's like ramen. At first I didn't see anyone. Went in at 5:30 p.m. and waited in a long queue. If you miss ramen, come here and that's the end of it.

We went here on Christmas Day because they are well rated and they were probably one of the only restaurants in the area to be open on the day. And I am so glad we did!Ambience was great and the staff were nice.Coming to food, we were pretty famished so we directly ordered entrees. I got myself a vegetarian ramen which had a creamy broth with Tofu, spring onions, ginger and mushrooms. It tasted good but had little to no spice. So if you are like me and like medium - hot in spice, remember to add some chilli oil/powder and the ramen is going to taste great! Also, regular portion size was on the large side for me, but it was so tasty.. I left an empty bowl :)
