I’ve passed this place for years on my way to Donki but finally stopped in today right as they opened. The seating area is nice, cozy, and clean – and the two ladies that helped us were really friendly.

This is the first time I’ve had Santouka “style” ramen and – although a tonkotsu broth – it didn’t taste as heavy. It’s also nice because they have three sizes available with the menu price reflecting the medium size. If you order a small, it’s $1 less than the listed menu price; order a large, add $1.

I ordered the tantan-men and although the soup presents in a bright red color because of the chili oil – it’s not spicy but really flavorful. The noodles had a great consistency/perfect chewiness so tasty broth + great noodles = great experience.

I had a late breakfast (about 9) and walked in here at 11 but was able to easily polish off a medium (all the noodles and broth). If you’re a decent eater, I’d definitely recommend the large, especially if you’re not ordering any sides.

Overall, it was a great experience! You’d also think it would be more pricey because it’s located in a busy shopping center but everything was around $14.

Nice little ramen restaurant next to Don Quitos. I ordered the tsukemen and it was good. The broth was flavorful with a slight spicy kick, fatty and aromatic with woodland mushrooms and an ajitama egg. It was well-seasoned but served lukewarm, and I would have preferred it hotter. The noodles had a pleasant chew, though a slightly thicker cut would have made it even better.

the cha siu beef cheeks were on the saltier side, as is the soup for toro kara; still very solid ramen though, liked that you could pick between small, medium, and large for portion sizes

Stumbled in on a Sunday at 8:45pm. I was seated immediately, and ordered the Toroniku Shio Ramen. Food came out lighting fast, and it was delicious.

The broth was everything you would want, silky and rich, flavorful, and perfectly salted. The ramen was perfect as well. Bouncey with a nice bite.

The Toroniku was amazing. Don’t let the greyness of the meat deceive you. It was super tender and juicy. It also comes with green onions, bamboo shoots, and mushrooms on the side.

I finished everything. I got a medium portion, and the final cost was $17.59 after taxes.

This place will definitely satisfy your ramen craving, and if you want a large bowl it’s only $1 more!

Visited this Hokkaido-style ramen place yesterday. The broth was a bit too rich for my taste, but the service was fast and the portion of meat was impressive.( but there is no egg )The pork was flavorful and not at all gamey, which I really appreciated.
It felt more like a local spot than a tourist trap, which made the experience even better. Worth checking out if you’re looking for a solid, hearty bowl of ramen.

Ordered a fried rice gyoza add on but when most of my food came to the table, I was told that they were out of the fried rice. I overheard the kitchen earlier saying that there was only one fried rice left when I put in my order so definitely looks a miscommunication issue. Otherwise, service was fast and food was delicious. Just need to match the food with the location up in Seattle though haha. I believe!!!

Soooo tasty. The best ramen I’ve had in the United States!

We tried the tantanmen and the toroniku miso, with eggs added. Also tried the charsiu rice bowl and gyoza on a different day (we had to come back a second time). Everything was exceptionally good. Also the service is very friendly and exceptionally fast. Cute atmosphere too with the ramen bar in addition to the tables. Clean. This place really stands out.

AND it’s next to Don Quijote!

Amazing delicious ramen! Everything was hot, and brought to us fast! Highly recommended. Had the Charsiu Karamiso Ramen. Wife had the Toroniku Karamiso Ramen which she loved since they separate the fat from the pork belly. Also had the Gyozas which super hot and delicious!

My on-going quest to try different ramen joints continues.

The company is based in Japan and has branched out to numerous spots in California, a few in the Midwest and east coast, and one here in Hawaii.

Apparently they took over the former Ezogiku Ramen spot outside of Don Quiote, but I don’t remember them being in that area and didn’t recognize the layout. I think they did a heavy renovation because Ezogiku wasn’t the prettiest of places. Cool lighting fixtures hang down, with decorative ramen bowls climbing up the walls. Seating is for about 25 people through a mix of counter seating, a few regular tables, and a long communal bench with single seats & tables. Not good for large groups. The counter seating’s backsplash could use a deep cleaning.

MENU:
One type of salad, salmon bowl, number ramen styles, gyoza, and combos.

FOOD:
Gyoza
I always have to try the gyozas to compare and find the best. The 5 pieces were on the smallish side and not pan fried well enough, so the delicious crunch wasn’t present. Overall flavor was good, but pass.

Toroniku Shoyu Ramen
The menu states you can have the toppings on the side or put in, but we weren’t offered a choice so they came on a side plate. The broth.. OMG! It’s good!!!! The best way to describe the flavor is its a rich, slightly oily mixture of shoyu, and tan tan, with sesame seeds floating on the top. The pork cheeks were super tender and mildly flavored, with a thin trimming of fat that was easy to consume or discard. The bamboo shoots were okay because they had a slightly odd chemical taste. The medium egg was just a bit overdone and had no flavor though the outside was stained from some kind of marinade. The noodles… I’m on the fence about them. They’re thin, chewy, and had a flavor of its own, which tasted like they were stir fried in oil first in a well-seasoned pan. I have a good appetite but couldn’t finish all of the noodles. I was really full due to the richness.

SERVICE:
It felt pushy but in a nice way. Kinda churn and burn, hurry up and buy.

OVERALL:
Pricey, excellent broth, mediocre noodles, subpar gyozas.

The “Hiyashi” was lacking vinegar, in my opinion. With those ingredients, I think a touch more acidity would really bring the flavors together. The “Shio Ramen” seemed more like a “shio-tonkotsu” to me, and while it was tasty, the soup was unfortunately served lukewarm.
