First time here at this spot but the food is not new to me. This one is located in University Village (outside shopping mall). As soon as you open the door you can smell the food it smells really good.
I ordered a small classic ramen which I think was a perfect size and saba nigiri (my favorite). I love how the portion is huge slices. Other items ordered were Karaage Curry Chiken and Tan-Tan-Men. The food came quickly and it was standard nothing really exciting.
It’s not a huge restaurant but it’s also not a hole in the wall. There is a wait. So as soon as you walk in you can sign up for the waiting list. So we got in list and accidentally put four instead of three people. So we got a text our table was ready. This really annoyed me. They said since we had three people and not four that we had to wait because there were two parties with three people ahead of us. Like what? What does it matter? You’re found to seat three people in a table that fits four. Anyways, I just didn’t think the logic made sense.

We’ve had great experiences dining in at Santouka, which is why this take-out experience was especially disappointing.
Yesterday, the ramen noodles arrived as a giant, solid cake of pasta. The main issue was that the noodle container was placed inside the soup container. The heat from the broth kept cooking the noodles, turning them into one big clump before we even got home.
Today, I tried to prevent that by asking the staff to mix the noodles with the soup, thinking it might help. Unfortunately, due to my lack of experience with how ramen should be packaged for take-out, I didn’t realize this would actually make things worse. The waiter also wasn’t clear in explaining that mixing everything together would further ruin the texture. As a result, the noodles were completely soggy and mushy.
This points to two issues:
1. The take-out packaging method needs to change. Noodles should be kept in a separate container from the soup and definitely not placed inside the hot broth container.
2. Staff training needs improvement so customers are clearly advised on what will and won’t work for take-out ramen.
Santouka makes excellent ramen when dining in, but the current take-out execution does not reflect that quality. Until the packaging and communication improve, I would not recommend ordering ramen to go.

my favorite ramen place!! the combo is my go-to, since both their ramen and rice dishes are so yummy! the shio ramen has the perfect flavor. i also like how you can order different sizes for the ramen. been coming here since 2019 and it’s always been amazing. the staff is consistently friendly which i think makes the whole experience! while they can definitely get busy with long wait times, you can also order for pick up which is always so fast. overall 10/10 highly recommend!

Such great value eating here. Since it’s a chain, the food is always very consistent. They have a fantastic kids combo as well with a small sized ramen. They have a new Black Garlic ramen which is also really good.

The ramen was okay, nothing special. The service was a bit slow, we had to wait for 15 minutes for someone to come take the order. The staff were nice.

Hokkaido offers a solid but unremarkable dining experience in the heart of Seattle. The menu is standard for a Japanese restaurant, with familiar dishes that are executed adequately but lack standout flavor or presentation. Service was efficient & the atmosphere is clean/casual. Overall, it’s a decent option if you’re nearby, but not a destination worth going out of your way for.

The food was decent. We ordered Tsukemen, Bento box, and salmon rice.
Tsukemen tastes great, but we would love it more if they have the option to replace the noodles with Kale noodles.
Bento box was just okay. The Vegas roll in the Bento box was a bit fried that we are not a huge fun of.
The salmon rice looks better in the menu picture with more Ikura on top of it. The taste is also just average.
Overall, since it is a ramen restaurant, we recommend ordering ramen. As for the other small dishes, you may find better options somewhere else.

Not for us and probably wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. We got the shio and shoyu classic ramen with an egg. both the egg and bamboo were under seasoned, and it was overall just bland. The service was okay, the ramen was okay, but it was definitely not worth the price.

The soup noodle is excellent as usual. Do not recommend the dipping noodle – the soup is super greasy, the noodle was quite hard to chew. I had asked them to cook the noodle softer, but it didn’t make much difference. The karaage chicken was excellent – crispy and juicy and tender.

Yummy!! The Ramen taste so good, not sure if the tonkatsu of the bento box was maybe a bit burned? But everything taste awesome!
