I got a ton of things to split with the table and I think the starters are the stars of the show. The ramen I chose (summer special) wasn't really my favorite option but I think perhaps with another ramen you would have better luck. The meat was tough to bite through and the ice cubes in the summer ramen melted and ended up diluting the broth. I would absolutely come back for all the side dishes though. I got to try the chip salad, whipped tofu, and the house salad. The chip salad is a chili lover's dream, the whipped tofu was the best type of creamy, garlicky dip, and the house salad had incredible texture and dressing. You order through your phone and then the food will get brought to you! read more

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. read more

Very nice space. Easy to pass by from the front of the shop. But once inside it's very nice. There is a front outside seating as well. Their ordering system is a bit different where you scan the QR code to access menu and order through the portal and pay as well. The back area does have low reception but they still have physical menus. Food was really good. Everything on the menu looks worth a try. read more

Goodness sakes, this is some of my favorite ramen I've ever had. And the apps just make this spot that much better. The whipped tofu and the wings rule, so much flavor! The broth and noodles for each ramen bowl we had were so flavorful and the noodle the perfect chew. Plus the restaurant itself has such a cool and urban design, makes me feel like I'm not in SLC. We have already been back and will continue to visit! read more

Koyote - Ramen Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

This restaurant is in a residential area so we had no idea this was even there. It's a really nice space, and we came early on a Friday evening about 5:15. We were seated right away and ordered from the QR code on the table. We ordered the whipped tofu to start because of some reviews here and we loved it! It was creamy and delicous and we loved the scallion pancakes that came with it. I could have just eaten that for my meal. My husband ordered the Classic ramen and I had the beef option (not seeing it on the menu now) but I really liked it a lot. The food was served very fast, we had great service and we really enjoyed our experience here! read more

Unfortunately, our experience at Koyote was pretty disappointing. The service was very slow, and our ramen took over 40 minutes to arrive at the table. After waiting that long, we were really hoping the food would make up for it, but the ramen itself was underwhelming. We've had much better ramen at other places. Normally, this might not have been such a big deal, but we came in with high expectations because Koyote received a Bib Gourmand from the Michelin Guide. As foodies, we were genuinely excited to try it and were expecting something memorable. Unfortunately, between the slow service and the quality of the ramen, the experience just didn't live up to the hype for us. read more

Koyote - American Shoyu - Ramen Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

I am not overstating when I say this may be our new favorite restaurant in SLC! The food - DELICIOUS, every dish was so good! - Whipped tofu is a must get - The classic ramen was so flavorful, hearty, and comforting. A big bowl of food but it was cleaned dry before we left! - The chashu don was a delightful mix of tiny pieces of salty, fatty, crispy pork, hot rice, cold vinegar pickle slices - The sundae was my least favorite but still delicious! I just don't love matcha flavor. We still downed the whole thing! The service - The restaurant was packed on a Friday, we got on the waitlist and had a lovely walk around the neighborhood. - Once seated, you order yourself from a QR code. It took literally TWO MINUTES from when we ordered to getting our whipped tofu, and the other dishes were also a short wait, which I was not expecting with how busy they were!! - They refilled our water, gave us updates on when our food would come out, and had really great service overall! The vibes - I loved sitting at the bar, with the warm wood, green tile backing, view into the kitchen, and nice music playing in the background. read more

Venture off the beaten path for some delicious ramen at Koyote. It's a charming location and the exterior gives off Japanese village vibes; worth the potential hassle of having to find street parking nearby. The classic ramen was excellent, it had a great broth and LOTS of noodles. I couldn't make it through the whole bowl, but not for lack of trying. We also got shishito peppers to start, and the dish was okay. The peppers were interesting, with a smoky taste, but I didn't love the creamy sauces pooling under the peppers, and felt they were a bit overdressed with all the garnishes on top. Service was strange with the Toast app, ordering and paying through your phone -- cheapened the experience in my opinion, made it felt like more of a conveyor belt than a nice dining experience. Overall worth checking out for great ramen, see if you can come at a less busy time so that the meal doesn't feel too hectic or rushed. read more

Our third time here hoping for improvement, but no dice. We really wanted to love Koyote. The space, the people, the concept -- all on point....but the food misses the mark. We wanted our tastebuds to say "WOW" but they just say, "meh". After a $175 dinner we ordered the $9 Matcha Madness dessert, and that was the clincher that inspired us to post this review. read more

Well done Japanese food. The flavor of the curry, ramen broth (American shoyu) were amazing. The gyoza and karaage were also very good. I thought the meats were a little dry in both the curry and ramen, and the noodles were a tad harder than I would've liked. I know the whipped tofu is well known, but it didn't taste like much to me and I just preferred the scallion pancakes on the side. The rice was well cooked. Easy enough to walk in with a group of three for lunch on a Friday. You order and checkout through a QR code, and then the food comes to you. read more

Super good ramen. We shared the Tantan and a brown butter ramen (although I had a hard time finding that one online after we went there?) The TanTan was 10/10 I would 100% order that again and honestly probably will next time I go. The brown butter one tasted straight like butter and salt. Not my fav. They sat us outside with heaters and it was very cozy and warm. Service was great and we will be going back! read more

I still think about my meal here. Visited Koyote for dinner during a work trip in Salt Lake City and it blew all of our minds. Every single thing we got was incredible. Love the vibes and ambiance here. Trust all the other reviews about the tofu dish. So good we ordered 2 between 3 of us. I've never seen a tom yum ramen before so decided to give it a try but it was on the heavier side than I expected. Flavor was still very good but I usually like my ramen lighter. 10/10 would come back and would recommend to all my friends who visit SLC read more

The hype is definitely real. when you arrive you may encounter a line out the door waiting to be seated, and for good reason. arrived at 5 as they opened and the restaurant quickly filled up. when you sit down, you just scan a QR code to order, this is also how you pay. which was really nice if you're in a group. makes paying a breeze, and also love that if you want to order more you can quickly do so from your phone. now to the food. probably some of the best ramen i have had in the valley. the broth was insanely flavorful and the noodles were so good. we also got some gyoza and the filling was so good. tldr. good food and arrive early to avoid a wait. read more

Drove 30 min here since I heard it was so great but left without eating a thing. The plastic cups provided for water were chipped and flaking off into the water and covered in some kind of white residue. Mine was really gross looking but my friends was only mildly bad but theirs was still covered in a white flakey residue on the rim. Then when I went to order I noticed that it asked if I wanted to add more of something I'm allergic to, to my order even though the description never listed that ingredient. Since you do everything yourself in the app and don't have a server you can try to order something else to get a server or go ask the hostess in the front of the restraunt. I didn't end up wanting to eat here and asked my friend to finish their app so we could leave. Between the hygiene issues and the inaccuracy of the listed ingredients used this place just didn't feel safe to eat at. read more

I visited Koyote with a group of ten. We really appreciated ordering at the table. You set up a group order and then each person puts in the dishes they want. You can do separate checks at the end or split it like you want. I had the brown butter miso ramen, and added wontons and baby bok choy. This dish was delicious but did need a little heat so I got some chili oil to add. Everyone at the table also enjoyed what they ordered. I can't wait to come back and try something else. Service was great and even though it's a newer place it has the feel of an old familiar restaurant. I did notice the menu online is different than the menu you scan at the table, which makes it a little hard to preview all the dishes ahead of time. read more

Koyote - Brown butter miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - Salt Lake City, Utah

Food Quality: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Cleanliness: 5/5 Value: 5/5 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 liking for ramen! read more

So impressed! First time we came here, we had the daily ramen and another version that I've forgotten the name of. They were brilliant. I added on chili crisp and that was delicious, too. I had a pint of the draft and I'll definitely do that again The second time we visited, we had the mackerel and sake don, this was also a very enjoyable meal. The ube matcha is a real treat as well. There's good reason for Koyote to be busy every meal. And our servers were excellent read more

Delicious!!!! Found this gem cause my son wanted to try some new ramen.. it was AMAZING! Food was so good and the patio was adorable!

I've been here twice now and gotten the tonkatsu tsukemen both times and loved it. I like a bit of spice, so when ordering with the QR code I always make sure to request a side of spice. Highly recommend doing the same and topping it on your noodles! Service is attentive, friendly, and helpful. As mentioned, you order using the QR code on the table and should expect to get your food within 10-15 minutes. Ambiance is clean, modern, and cozy. We went on a summer evening and were a bit surprised of how hot it was inside. We would've appreciated a tiny bit more air conditioning haha. read more

I was traveling through SLC and was given a tip about Koyote and went out on a limb to check it out. A non-touristy place that I was lucky to find. It was towards the end of the evening so they were winding so my wait time to be seated was pretty light (~5 minutes). I was starving when I arrived so I immediately ordered an app of the shipped tofu. This is a creamy and smooth dip with garlic and sesame and topped with chili "crips". The dish was great but I could have eaten my weight of the chili crisps. For my main entree I stayed basic and ordered the classic ramen bowl and extra chili crips. The ramen had tons and tons of flavor with hearty noodles. Once I added the chili crips it was a bowl of magical sunshine and was perfect on a colder day. Hands down a great find and one that you will have to know it's there as it might now be so obvious. read more

Delish! Order at the table through your phone which is easy and convenient. Our appetizers came out quickly and entrees followed in a timely manner. We had the daily Otoshi (pickled vegetables), whipped tofu (WHAT?! soooo good!), Chashu-don, Tantan-men Ramen, Gluten free Shio Ramen, and American Shoyu. We tried the Miso-Napalm because we all love spice - it's not that spicy but adds some great flavor to the broth. The only suggestion from our table was for the Tantan-men - maybe an option for less noodles and more veggies. Service was great and we will definitely be back. read more

Come for the ramen, come back for the apps Ordering and payment is done through QR code which is so quick and efficient. The ramen is fine - definitely a step up from many places in SLC but the apps are where it's at. Whipped Tofu - INCREDIBLE!!! Think hummus, but smoother and creamier. And the chili crunch they use on top is so good. And it comes with scallion pancakes!! (Or bread for brunch) Kaisen Don - yummmmm, I love fish over rice and this did not disappoint. They also have great vegan options for any plant based eaters out there! read more

Fun to venture up to the Capitol/Hill Marmalade district to try the very buzzy Koyote. We pulled up just before it opened for dinner and there were already multiple parties waiting for the doors to open. Once inside, we admired the wood paneling, cozy booths, bright pops of color, and sprinkles of western decor. When the weather warms up, there is a spacious patio for alfresco dining. What we ordered: Whipped Tofu - Who knew I just needed whipped tofu in my life - with house-made chili crisps and plant-based mapo chili (that made me actually question if I ordered meat) plus scallion pancakes to dip and wipe the bowl clean. I'll be thinking of this dish for a long time. Hot Sake - This is a popular vending machine sake in Japan that I hadn't tried before. Sometimes hot sake on a cold Utah night just hits the spot. American Shoyu Ramen - Classic clear chicken and pork stock with straight egg noodles, smoked brisket, a soft-boiled egg, and bamboo shoots. Vegetarian Tatanmen Ramen - I wasn't aware that Koyote offered so many plant-based vegetarian options and hot dang, plant-based meats have come a long way! This sesame broth was so rich and spicy and creamy I definitely thought there was meat involved in its process. Instead of ground pork it was topped with plant-based mapo chili. Paired with the wavy Sapporo style noodles (vegan!), I was one happy customer. Perfectly cooked soft-boiled egg, green onions, scallions, and baby bok choy rounded out the dish. I did feel the entire plate was a bit overly salted but that is my only note. There is a lot of attention paid to diverse offerings - gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian are all clearly labeled and easy to customize. And a $7 kid ramen is a nice nod to the family-friendliness this city is known for. Service is - quirky. Friendly host seated us, then instructed us to scan the QR code and order from the Toast-operated online menu. Not my favorite type of restaurant interaction, but efficient. Drinks and food were brought out in a nicely-paced manner and they did check on us a couple of times, but there wasn't a lot more face-to-face time than that. I can understand that for a lunch stop, but as Koyote bills itself as a more upscale date-night destination, I'd appreciate a more service-oriented approach. All that said, I've got no complaints about more authentic Japanese establishments popping up in SLC. I will tell everyone about the whipped tofu and can't wait to return to try their other fares. read more

I noticed this restaurant existed a few weeks ago when I was doing my daily walks. So I finally made time to dine here last week with my friend and I'm so happy we did. Also, it's only less than a 5 min walk, so it's def another reason for me to come back again. Parking can be found in the residential streets. There are ample. There are seating outdoor and indoor. We sat indoor across from the bar since the outdoor was full. The place is cute, spacious, clean, and slightly dimmed. We sat at the booth, which fit perfectly. It was quite packed that day and luckily they were able to squeeze us in without any reservations. You order from the QR code and then submit the order when you're ready. The staffs will bring out the food and drinks for you. We ordered the popular whipped tofu, salmon bowl, and gyozas. All were good, but our fav was the whipped tofu. Surprisingly, we were really full given the fact they are appetizers. Also, we ordered the horchata cocktail and it was surprisingly good, too. I'm not a big fan of horchata, but it had the right balance. I'm definitely coming back to try their ramen and order the whipped tofu again. Hoping next time to dine outdoors. read more

The whipped tofu was great, just like everyone says. We also had gyoza, karaage wings, and extra scallion pancakes, all of which were solid choices. Rice on Rice was a fun cocktail, and the Koyote beer was a solid house brew. The ramen itself was just okay. We tried variations of classic and brown butter, and while the broth was seasoned, it wasn't the kind you want to drink down after your noodles. The noodles were fine, but the meat wasn't a favorite. The egg, however, was excellent--perfectly marinated and definitely the highlight of the bowl. Service was a little chaotic, with all of our orders having some mix-up, even the ones with no modifications. Ordering is done through a QR code to the Toast app, where everyone can add to one bill, which was a little confusing at first. They have WiFi, but I didn't ask for the password since the staff was busy running around. The restaurant was packed, giving it a lively atmosphere, though it did make service feel a little rushed. I wanted to try dessert but was way too full. I'd come back for the appetizers and maybe give the vegetarian ramen a shot since I've heard good things, but I won't set my expectations too high. read more

Overall a solid ramen spot and great ambiance! Staff is super friendly and the service was top notch. I got the butter miso ramen and added the brisket to try both of their protein options. I respect the fusion idea but bbq brisket just doesn't go well with ramen in my personal opinion. I'd skip on that next time. The butter miso broth is very good, super rich and has great depth of flavor! I tried my friend's shoyu style broth and that was also pretty good. I prefer the butter miso broth out of the two. The noodles were great, good amount of thickness and perfect chew. The chashu and egg had good flavor. The only cons were the toppings being cold and the broth was not hot enough (probably partly from the cold toppings). Especially on a cold night post snowboarding, I was really looking forward to the hot broth! read more
