A very small place, but the staff were so kind I didn't mind waiting for a table. The tempura undon and milk tea was very good! I can't wait to try more. read more

Cube Ramen and Asian Cuisine - Ramen Near Me - Lacey, Washington

There are places you enter because you are hungry and places you remember because the food was good. Cube Ramen in Lacey is the second kind. The noodles have bite to them. They hold against the teeth the way good noodles should. The broth comes through, then the pork, and then the marinated egg with its dark, quiet flavor. It is more authentic than the ramen you buy at the Asian grocer and take home to make yourself. There is something different about a bowl made by someone who knows what the bowl is supposed to be. The room was not what you might imagine when you think of ramen. It was somewhere between a teriyaki place and a sandwich shop. The building was full of businesses and the room belonged to the building. There was nothing wrong with that. A man does not need much from a room when he has a good bowl in front of him. The waitresses understand this. They come by often. They look at the table and see what is needed. Water. Another thing. Anything that is not quite right. They take care of it. That matters. It is a good bowl of ramen, and they take good care of you while you eat it. read more

This place was pretty good! Kinda out in the middle of nowhere but fairly close to Cabelas. The Shrimp Tempura was delicious. The Agedashi Tofu was good too. The Miso Ramen was good yet lacking ingredients. Could use a little more. I will remember this place for the future. read more

I recently visited Cube Ramen & Asian Cuisine with my teenage son, and it was a very enjoyable experience. The restaurant is easy to find, located in a plaza with other businesses, so there's plenty of parking available. I also like that their hours are posted in military time; it's a small detail, but it removes any confusion about opening and closing times. The space itself is on the smaller side, but it feels comfortable and welcoming. We arrived around 17:00 on a Wednesday and were seated quickly. Service was friendly from start to finish--menus were brought promptly, and we were asked about drinks right away (water was perfect for us). Throughout the meal, the staff was attentive without being intrusive, refilling our water and clearing dishes at just the right times. We started with the agedashi tofu to share. The broth was flavorful and the tofu was prepared well, with that soft, gooey, gelatinous consistency. While it wasn't quite my personal preference (I tend to favor a crispier texture), it was still tasty and likely ideal for those who enjoy it that way. For our main dishes, my son ordered the tonkatsu corn ramen, and I had the black garlic ramen (without bean sprouts--personal preference). This was our first ramen spot since moving to Washington, and it genuinely reminded us of a favorite place we used to visit in Sacramento. The broth was rich, creamy, and deeply savory--absolutely delicious. I especially liked that the ramen was served with a ladle instead of a standard soup spoon, which made it easier to sip more of the broth. The noodles were cooked perfectly--not too firm, not too soft--and paired really well with the toppings. My son even commented on the generous portion of noodles, which I joked was exactly what we signed up for when ordering ramen! We both finished our bowls feeling completely satisfied. The chashu and egg were highlights for me--I took my time consuming them. My only small critique is that I wish the ramen included a full soft-boiled egg instead of just half, especially with bowls averaging around $17. Overall, this was a great dining experience with flavorful food, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere. While I have a couple of minor preferences, I would definitely return and recommend it to others looking for quality ramen in the area. read more

Our order for three people were delivered one at a time in which the first meal was consumed by the time the third arrived. There was no sense of urgency to correct the problem and no compensation on the bill. The restaurant business is a competitive one and I don't believe by the way they dealt with our order they will survive. read more

Advertised as having allergy alternatives but the menu contains no supportive details and there is almost no gluten free choices and their specialty contains milk, which is not common. No free refills on iced tea. Food was good, but options were limited. I don't think their advertising on allergies is at all accurate. read more

One of my regular spots -- im probably biased because I can always go for ramen. This cute little place has been a favorite for a few years now. The staff is super friendly and the food always hits. My go-to order is the Black Garlic Tonkatsu Ramen (broth is so rich) with either takoyaki or scallion pancakes as an appetizer. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything here. Service is quick and we always lease happy and full! read more

One of the best and most flavorful ramen I've had. I always get the black garlic ramen with extra broth. Ask for their chili oil on the side to add in if you like spicy in your ramen. Note that it is SUPER spicy, but so so good. They even sell their chili oil on its own, it's that good. Have always had a good experience with their service. All appetizers I've had are great and this place never disappoints read more

Best broth I've ever had. No question best ramen in the area. The service was great. Had the black garlic and shoyu

Went there with my dad, my brother, and my two kids. My dad ordered green tea, I ordered water, and my brother ordered a soda. When my dad tasted the green tea, it had a salty flavor, almost as if soup had been mixed into it. He asked if he could switch drinks with me, and I agreed. After tasting it myself, I realized he was right. I didn't like it either, so I asked if they could replace it with a Coke instead. They agreed, although the lady seemed hesitant. After we got home, I had severe diarrhea and intense stomach pain. I can't say for certain what caused it, but the timing made me concerned. Because of this experience, I won't be going back here! read more

The noodles are not as good as Kizuki's, but the soup for garlic tonkotsu noodles weee decent. I'd give 3.5 stars, but they deserve 4 stars for good customer service. read more

it took me so long to finally try this Asian food restaurant in Lacey omg. idk why. I never went even though it was on my list for how long. anyway, I really enjoyed my meal here with my family. we were all surprised at how rich the takoyaki tasted. it was the best dish from our order. I like that this restaurant offers a kid-sized ramen that still offers the same ingredients as the regular-sized ramen or udon orders. I never seen that before and I appreciate the availability of this size because I like to mix my order with a main dish and an appetizer. the ramen was good for each person. My family left really satisfied and very full. I would eat here again, which I do not do with restaurants since I want to eat at as many places as I can and try new things. But, this place was too good. I like that the table set-up readily offered sauces and toppings so that we do not need to bother the staff. indeed, the homemade chili oil was "very spicy!" Spoon bit by bit into your dish instead of dumping it like I did. i also like that this place was bright enough to the point where my parents could read the menu without struggle. and, a special shoutout to our waitress, Minsun, because she made sure that we were always topped off on water. She also did a good walk-through of the menu so that we could get the most of our experience and money. I like her recommendation of the milk tea and green teas to complement with our dishes because we were indecisive about ordering for the table. we felt very much welcomed by Minsun and she ensured speedy service when bringing our dishes. Thank you again to the kitchen and our waitress! read more

I thought that the green scallion pancake was really good along with the takoyaki. They were both flavorful and the takoyaki was crispy, fluffy, and soft! But the udon was ok, I don't really have any strong opinions on it. The service was pretty fast and the decorations of the restaurant were cute. read more

Cube Ramen is my go-to for delicious ramen, udon, and other Japanese dishes. The service is always friendly and has the feel of a modern ramen shop in Tokyo. The tempura has a crisp and crunchy batter and is never greasy/soggy. Unlike other restaurants that *also make ramen, it's the main show at Cube and the other menu items are also delicious. read more

Recently moved to the area and was craving Ramen. This was just a couple minutes away from the house. Went around lunchtime with my son and infant. Seemed to be a bit of a lunchtime rush but loved the relaxed vibe. We were seated immediately, however, there was only one waitress so there was a delay in getting our order. The food came out fairly quickly. We loved the option for noodles and broth for kids since my son is so picky but loved ramen noodles with broth. Ordered shoyu for him and the black garlic ramen for me. It was delicious! Noodles perfect texture and flavor of the broth was rich and creamy. There were lots of noodles which I find that most places don't give enough and so this was a pleasant surprise and enough to share with my infant. read more

My whole family loves Cube Ramen! The appetizers are always delicious, especially the ginger pork, fried dumplings, and soup dumplings. I like the corn ramen, my kids like the black garlic ramen, and I have one who likes that you can put spam in your ramen instead of the chashu pork. We have always had wonderful service, food arrives quickly, the owner is really kind, and the atmosphere is cosy and minimalist at the same time. It's one of our comfort restaurants - you always leave feeling full and happy. read more

The food at this place wasn't bad. We've had better tonkatsu ramen elsewhere, but this was legit for being in Olympia. When we went the place was hopping so there was a nice buzz to the vibe. The only real complaint was they are disorganized. Our server just sat someone and then immediately tried to take their order even though they hadn't even looked at the menu, while we'd been seated for 20 mins and are still waiting to tell our waiter what we wanted. My sister had to jump in and tell the waiter that we were ready and that really was irksome. read more

Best ramen in the Lacey area. Reminds us of our Japan trip with the chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and amazing food. The shrimp tempura is fresh and light, and the tonkotsu ramen is rich and filling. We would say to be careful with the chili oil though; add a little at a time. I had a heavy hand and it made my soup really really spicy. It was still enjoyable, but my mouth was burning right until the end read more

Calibrate for the suburbs! I heard some hype on this place and was siked to try it on. Rainy weekend. We had: Soup dumplings - flavor was good - but I think were frozen...? They weren't very soupy Scallion pancake - meh Curry chicken katsu don - flavor was good but ... basic - American roux with a curry powder mix. the chicken was breaded? I Black garlic tonkotsu ramen - holy crap - the flavor was incredible!! But the egg overcooked and they used spaghetti noodles for some reason...? Hot sake was good. Modern, clean interior but a bit bright tbh. No music or vibe yet. Super nice staff but ... not on their A game. We were a party of 2 and got 1 glass of water, 1 Saki cup and no napkins or silverware without asking. Overall and 3.5 stars - I wish them well. I'll come back for that broth when Im sick and skip the noodles next time. read more

I've been to Cube multiple times now and, in an effort to get at some other menu options, I will occasionally veer away from the Black Garlic Ramen, only to return to it the next time! Sooo tasty!! Usually get that with the green scallion pancake which I dip into the broth for extra joy. What's not to love about their spicy homemade chili oil - had to buy a jar to have at home, thank you baby Jesus. The service is always stellar. An immediate greeting every time, just the right amount of checking in without any overkill. Bonus that there are young servers that seem to know what thoughtful, friendly service looks like. Never any of that I-can't-be-bothered vibe. What a relief! read more
