Second best ramen in the city – This is absolutely, positively, the second best ramen in Seattle. The only better place is the other Samurai Noodle location in the International District, but that one is so small you can never get a seat. I love Samurai Noodle!
Citysearch Editorial Review – In many ways, the U-District location of this ID ramen house could be any other place on the Ave: mid-'90s tunes a few decibels too loud, frat boys plotting their weekend debauchery, quick food at reasonable prices. But in all the important ways--the things one looks for in a noodle shop--Samurai is straight out of Tokyo: rich, porky soups and tasty gyoza; seating built for function over fashion; repeated refills on hot green tea. A few rice combos are available, but you'd be remiss to skip the ... read more
Hopelessly Inept Service – I can't say if the ramen soup is good here or not, as the complete ineptitude of the staff caused me to give up waiting for it after being in the restaurant for about 45 minutes, and this is at, like 3 O"CLOCK IN THE AFTERNOON! It seems with 4 people working in the kitchen, and NO ONE ELSE IN THE RESTAURANT, they were still able to forget to start my order. I finally realized that my food wasn't coming and got my money back, then went to Fu Lin for ramen instead, which is probably the same thing fo... read more
Decent bowl of noodle – The place is tiny and has only maybe 8 tables overall, so usually you need to go next door to the Uwaiji foodcourt to eat. A typical bowl of noodle is about $7...and can go up to $10 if you want to "level up" (additional pork slices/flavored egg/cup of rice on the side/etc) I tried the pork/chicken broth which was good but a bit too rich for my taste. The noodle however was very yummy! Chewy, just the way I like 'em! The spicy pork rice dish however wasn't anything special so no need to try it.
Best ramen in Seattle – My fiance and I have been going to Samurai Noodle since it opened. We were so happy to finally be able to get good ramen which has been in short supply since we left Tokyo. The only drawback is that they don't have Miso ramen yet which is one of our favorites. I also think that they've started to cook their noodles a little bit longer than they used to, but you can still ask for firm/extra firm noodles and they come out great. The broth is rich, the portions generous, the toppings flavorful. I can't h... read more
Best Ramen in Washington! – Samurai noodle has the best ramen ever! I recommend their pork ramen+flavored egg and tetsu max (for those who can stand spicy), with firm noodle. yum!
Best ramen noodle ever – Samurai noodle serves the best ramen noodle ever. The broth is just amazing and the price is reasonable.
Ahhh Soup – I love Ramen so it's great to have Samurai in town. Their pork broth is for sure the most flavorful of the broths they have so I generally stick to that. The place is tiny, but the prices are good and it's really a place to slurp-and-go. My only complaint is with their soy eggs which are often over-cooked, but that doesn't outweigh the nice post lunch nap I can take after a big bowl of ramen.
People Who Don't Like Samurai Noodles Are Morons – I cannot believe all the negative reviews about this place. Samurai Noodles serves the best broth in town. I would drink it by the gallon, if it was sold that way. Bland, really? Anyone who thinks the ramen at Samurai Noodle is bland either is (a) a moron or (b) a moron. Try the pork noodles. You won't be disappointed. PS - Macha tea is delicious.
