This small spot specializes in Hakata-style tonkotsu ramen. That means an incredibly rich pork broth, served with thin noodles and some chashu for good measure. Of course, if you ever get sick of that (you won’t), you could try their special offerings instead, like miso prawn ramen.
Hours: Monday-Sunday, 5:30 PM – 2:00 AM
Where: 954 E Union Street #102
Menya Musashi
This International Japan-based chain is known for its tsukemen-style ramen. So if you’re a noodle lover, Menya is a great option. Plus they have both ramen kits and ready-to-eat ramen. And we love options.
Hours: Monday-Sunday, 11:30 AM – 9:30 PM
Where: 1510 Belmont Ave
Yoroshiku
A full-service izakaya that serves up a variety of ramen, ranging from spicy miso to vegan options. Make sure you try the Fisherman Ramen, which includes clams, octopus, sockeye salmon, and scallops. And their new Lemongrass Pork Shoyu ramen is also worth a try.
Hours: Wednesday – Sunday, 11:30 AM – 2 PM and 4:30 PM – 9:30 PM
Where: 1911 N 45th St
Ooink
This delicious spot specializes in tonkotsu ramen, so the pork bone broth is the star of the show. We personally love the classic shoyu ramen, but those seeking heat can get the spicy ramen instead and choose a spice level of 1 to 4. Don’t say we didn’t warn you about just how hot things can get, though.
Hours: Hours vary by location
Where: 1416 Harvard Avenue and 3630 Stone Way North

A staple spot that started in Tukwila and since expanded to the Ballard area, thank goodness. We really like the flavour profile of the Black Garlic ramen, but like every other spot on this list, you can order anything and walk away happy.

A straightforward outpost in Capitol Hill. Not only is the classic miso ramen an absolute treat, the extra scallions, sesame oil and sesame seeds in the negi-goma is something else too. Grab some of the chashu pork donburi on the side too, you won’t regret it.
