Restaurant Review: Stellar Ramen at Koyoté – Salt Lake City Weekly

As both a ramen fan and a diner in need of something to stave off the chill in my bones, I was intrigued by early reviews of Koyoté, a new ramen …

Food: Really flavorful dishes. I got the ramen with brisket, and we shared the fried chicken and dumplings as appetizers. The broth in the ramen was different from any broth I’ve had. It had a very meaty flavor, and it took a few bites to really enjoy it. By the end I was wishing I had more!

Service: There’s no waiter that takes your order, everything is online. You scan a QR code that takes you to their website, and you order there. They make it easy to add everyone in your party to a group on the website so that you can order all together instead of separate. I’ve never seen anything like this in the US, but I guess it’s fairly common in Japan? Kinda fun.

Atmosphere: The place is stunning, especially at night. The warm, dim lighting made it feel modern, sleek, and cozy. The simple decor all looked amazing.

Truly exceptional. Koyote is the best ramen I’ve ever had, including places throughout SLC, along the West Coast, and internationally but not in Japan.

Now, there were a few reviews here that remarked“it’s alright, but I’ve had better in Japan!”

Well, no shit! We’re in Salt Lake and judging by the local food scene, I’d say this dethrones my previous personal favorite, Tosh’s Ramen.

The ordering process is pretty straightforward and for how busy it was, the food came out pretty quickly and was really well paced, as we ordered three apps — all were brought out in back-to-back fashion, before receiving our meals shortly thereafter.

The fried chicken with the Japanese mayo was super crispy and not greasy. Some of the best wings I’ve had, full stop.

Gyoza was savory, and the chips were ultra-crunchy and thin, garnished with a delectable seasoning that was quite unique.

Then came the ramen. We both ordered the Classic, I got an extra bit of brisket on the side and boy oh boy — was that a treat! Melted in my mouth, was so succulent that I didn’t even have to cut it, the meat just fell apart with my chopsticks.

Broth is very unique, incredibly savory as it’s a blend of chicken and pork stock, I believe. Think of it as the ultimate comfort food garnished with a marinated egg, veggies and tender pork belly.

I will be back and will likely try the brisket dish they have next time! Their brisket would make a Texan jealous. Oh and their tap beer was a perfect pairing with the ramen!

Absolutely love this spot. A bit hidden on the west side next to the tracks but what an amazing place to grab some ramen. The big win for me is the gluten free ramen, which is hard to come by!! There are also vegan/vegetarian options.

Good variety of non-ramen food too — the mabo tofu is another go to for me, chip salad was a pleasant surprise, and their drink options are phenomenal. Can’t go wrong with a lemon Chu Hi, a rare find in SLC!! We have been multiple times, can’t get enough.

Don’t Skip On: The Tsukemen, whipped tofu, and melon cream soda

Koyote is pretty high up there on my list of ramen places to eat. They have been consistently delivering tasty food and a great experience! If you haven’t been here before, not that this isn’t your traditional restaurant. While there are servers here, you order your food through the website provided via a QR code. Once the order is placed, your food is delivered to your table. You can also choose to keep your tab open or close depending on if you want more food or drinks.

I absolutely love their tsukemen and highly recommend it. This is not your typical ramen that most people know of, and allows for you to dip each bite of noodles into a sauce to keep things from getting too soggy too fast. Their broth and ramen noodles were on point !! Also, don’t skip on the whipped tofu. Sounds weird, I know, but it’s SO good. Also do yourself a favor and get the melon cream soda. You wont regret it.

The restaurant was well kept and the pricing was very reasonable. Definitely recommended for anyone looking for ramen!

The chicken wings were the star of the show! Really good! Classic Ramen was good. A bit pork heavy. We’re spoiled because we’ve had good Ramen in Japan. This one does not taste authentic. But it’s passable.
The purin was super good! Mabo tofu and Shioyaki Saba did not taste good. Skip!

Great little hidden ramen spot! Loved the atmosphere immediately. Much of the seating is at a communal bar – I’d call it cozy but not cramped. The signature/original ramen was great, added some chili crisp bc slc doesn’t know what spice is lol. Ube icecream ‘sandwich’ was awesome, one of my fav desserts I’ve had in a while. Plus, front of house people were nice (shoutout my guy Grant) I’ll be back.

Only comment for improvement: didn’t like the plastic water cups.

Overall pretty good, seating could use some improvement as you have to be 7 foot tall to reach. As for the ramen its like a solid 3.6 out of 5, presentation is nice though.

Fusion Japanese inspired Gen Z restaurant!
This restaurant is more fusion than Japanese, 100% Gen Z! You order and pay off the QR code (tired of QR codes now) minimal interaction with servers. If you want to add an item they refer you to add it yourself to your online bill but they can add items.

Food is just ok, too fusion focused. There are too many flavours going on the Shishido peppers. The Ramen taste like it’s beef broth. The brisket was good! The TanTan mein tasted off and was just ok. The grilled Mackerel was good. The menu show an entire Mackerel but they only serve you half a fish. The homemade chips were good but I would not pay for it. The house pickles were not good. The decor was simple and clean.

I was confused if I should tip as much as a regular dine in restaurant. Everything is through the QR code online billing. Will not come back I prefer more authentic cuisines.

As someone who proudly considers themselves a true vegan ramen connoisseur , I can confidently say that Koyote serves the best vegan ramen in Salt Lake City. Every time I go, it absolutely delivers. Their tantanmen is next-level — rich, flavorful, perfectly balanced, and it hits every single time You can taste the quality and care in every bowl.
Pair it with a cold Dr Pepper and you’ve got what might honestly be one of the greatest meal combos on earth. The broth is deep and satisfying, the noodles are cooked just right, and the toppings bring everything together beautifully.
The overall quality of the ramen here is outstanding, and if the rest of the menu is anything like the tantanmen, I’m sure it’s just as amazing. You really can’t go wrong ordering anything here. Absolute must-visit for ramen lovers! ✨

Salt Lake has seen a big increase in ramen jawns opening across the valley, but this one is still number one. Incredible broth, great flavor, and amazing brisket. Good brunch options also.
