“Arashi is my go to ramen spot so far in WA. I have tried quite a few places here and I've had ramen in Japan and Hawaii. I would say Arashi is the most on par with the better of ramens I've had. It's my go to spot whether alone or with people for a cold day. The Ballard location is hard to find parking and quite small so I like this location in terms of parking and size. The main con is definitely how pricey it is for noodles. It's at-least around $20 a person but that garlic broth is just the best so far.“

“Every time we visit Bellevue, our family enjoys visiting this restaurant. The service is very friendly and quick. The ramen is consistently delicious, add-ons are generous and comes piping hot. Their appies and side dishes just as good. The manager is extremely accommodating to any dietary restrictions or questions you may have about the menu. The space is always clean and is very kid friendly. They can get quite busy as this location is quite popular. Will return!Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly dishes and atmosphere great for families.“
“It’s a nice and comfortable spot for some grilled meat and rice bowls. We got seated right away, the servers were fast and friendly. I really enjoyed the beef rice bowl. However, the katsu curry was a disappointment, it was a little sweet and the rice was mushy for my taste.“
“Of all the places to get ramen in Capitol Hill, I find myself coming back to Kizuki quite regularly. The shoyu broth is less rich and creamy which I prefer more often. My only complaint is that the vegetarian ramen is more expensive than the meat ones—unfair considering the lowest cost of vegetarian ingredients.“
“First time here. Love the decor, it transports you straight to Japan. Great experience, food presentation and flavors. The ginger beer was so fresh with just the right amount of honey sweetened.Highly enjoyed the hot stone wagyu, I would be back for that.“
“Our favorite Japanese restaurant on the east side. Some of our favorite items include the kabocha fried rice, chicken katsu dinner, mackerel / saba, albacore tataki salad, any of the sushi and tempura. It can get busy here for dinner on the weekend, so I suggest reservations.“
“Ramen and Teriyaki, you already know this place isn't going to be specialized in anything... but this place gets a 4 star from me due to convenience, fast, good service (its order yourself on tablet, then find your own seat), and value, value, value of food! Wow! You need to check out the portions on these teriyaki plates! Defintiely good for sharing. I had the spicy pork and beef bulgogi. Both was good in flavor, and still moist. Rice wasn't fluffy but it did its job. Comes with a great serving of the common lettuce salad and dressings and a small side of macaroni. Tasted great for a regular teriyaki place. My plate was $15.99! Very reasonable. Priced higher because I got the split option. My husband got the spicy chicken teriyaki for $12.99! What a deal!! Portions was just as huge. I tried the chicken, and it was a bit dry for my liking, but my husband said it's the Seattle way! And that it was how he liked it. Haha My kids got ramen! Their bowls were huge! Of course I tried it and it didn't pass my ramen standards as predicted. But my kids still loved it! It tasted not too bad for a non-dedicated ramen restaurant. Glad we got to try this place. Quick and easy meal. Very tasty. And oh so affordable. Sometimes you just need that!“
“Kizuki's Renton location is cute and cozy, with amazing food and great service. There's also a pick up window for convenient online ordering. The ramen was incredible with a rich broth and perfectly cooked tonkatsu, the matcha cold brew was spectacular, and the food was ready quite quickly. Kizuki definitely has some of the most authentic ramen, and they even have locations in Japan!“
“We had a lovely date night at this restaurant - stumbled upon it and were pleasantly surprised by their top notch service! Our server, Brandon, was very attentive and friendly. The host stepped outside to open the door for us on our way out. They made us feel like VIP customers! We tried their happy hour menu, and we look forward to trying other items on the menu!“
“I tried to get to this restaurant 5 times and it never worked because I always forgot my ID, lol. Finally, yesterday, I got in, and to be honest, the chicken was good in taste, but nothing special. Also, the stools were very uncomfortable to sit on. Prices are very high for that portion. The most impressive thing for me was the design and friendly staff.“
“The grapefruit salt clear soup is great, very suitable for people who don't like heavy flavors. The vegetables are not too rotten, the noodles are strong enough, the soft-boiled eggs are hard-boiled, and the bamboo shoots are crisp enough. It is a rare good restaurant and worth recommending.“
“We went here for a late lunch last week. We were immediately seated. Server was attentive and nice. We got the miso ramen, tempura rice bowl, the spinach gomae, the chilled tofu, chicken karaage, and edamame. The food came out relatively fast. My son loves this place, and he said that this place did not disappoint. My husband and I are don’t like ramen that much, so we got the side dishes. The food was good, however it was very salty and filling, especially the tempura rice bowl, that we did not eat dinner. Overall, nice place if you’re craving Japanese food at on the mall, but if you don’t like salty food, this place may not be for you.“
