With winter comes the obvious need for some comfort food and what’s more comforting than a big steaming bowl of ramen? Lucky for us (and you), Seattle has tons of amazing ramen restaurants for you to try. So, here are 10 essential ramen spots in Seattle with takeout and delivery options.
Betsutenjin
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-Saturday 11:30am-11:00pm, Sunday 5:30pm-11:00pm
Where: 954 E Union Street #102
Options: Takeout
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: Sunday-Thursday 11:30 am-9 pm, Friday & Saturday 11:30 am-12 am
Where: 1510 Belmont Ave
Options: Takeout or delivery
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 also looks worth a try.
Hours: Daily 11 am-2 pm and 4 pm-8 pm
Where: 1911 N 45th St
Options: Takeout and delivery
Rondo
Rondo happens to have a full menu full of amazing Japanese fare. And on top of that, they have some pretty tasty ramen. You can choose from options like classic shoyu or spicy hellz ramen. So we recommend ordering an array of items because you won’t be disappointed.
Hours: Monday, Wednesday-Sunday 11:30 am-9 pm
Where: 224 Broadway East
Options: Takeout and delivery
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: Thursday-Monday 11:30 am-2 pm and 4 pm-8 pm
Where: 1416 Harvard Avenue (Located in Harvard Market)

Kizuki Ramen and Izakaya
You’ve probably heard of Kizuki before, it’s a favorite of Capitol Hill ramen diners. They offer 12 different kinds of ramen as well as an izakaya menu. So if you’re looking for variety and reliable flavors, this a great spot to check out.
Hours: Daily 11 am-9:30 pm
Where: 320 E Pine St

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

Where: 5401 20th Avenue NW

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka
This is the first free-standing outpost in America from the legendary Japanese chain. We’re going, to be honest, the Kara Miso ramen here is second to none when it comes to mixing heat with incredible flavor. But you also have 11 different ramens to choose from and you can’t go wrong with any of them.

Ramen Danbo
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.
