This was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some other items. We stopped in with some friends and very glad we did. The service is friendly, food came out relatively fast, and really well done. Lots of flavor, variety of items you don't normally see in the area or where you do, just not as good! Want more traditional Japanese food? Go here, you won't regret it. read more

There is nothing I despise more when eating at a restaurant, than when it's time to pay and they stand over you, while you enter the tip and finalize the transaction from a handheld that they will not even release from their hand. We will not return for this reason. The atmosphere was fine. The $20 bowl of ramen was good, not amazing. The bathroom was okay, but the trash can was gross and dirty. read more

Horrible service. Stood in the front for over five minutes without an acknowledgement or someone to show us to our seats. I know they saw us standing there. Waitress never checked on us once. Wife had to walk up to the counter for a water refill after twenty minutes. Food was meh. Had much better authentic ramen elsewhere. read more

The tsukemen is delicious! But the service is horrible. No one really managing this place. The 2 lone servers albeit young seemed clueless. We Stood in front with no acknowledgment, so I just wrote our name on the list myself. Then while 3 diff parties were waiting, some asshat couple that just arrived went to one of the servers and asked if he could take a table, and that server let him. WTF! We've been waiting for like 20min. They finally sat us,, never instructed to order from phone but we figured it out. Other tables didn't and had seen some get upset that they were waiting to order for a long time. Gave us our food, but no utensils to eat. Had to ask and wait for a bit for those. The servers are too quiet/passive and need someone to lead them. read more

Literally, I would give this place 10/10 if I could. We were recommended this place by a friend! I have eaten at tons of ramen spots, and this is by far my favorite one. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen, and the broth was thick, creamy, and flavorful - this was the first time I had slurped all my broth!! I am SO looking forward to my next visit and have been referring this place to my community to also try !!! read more

Menya Muso - spicy miso ramen - Ramen Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

Convenient when you're staying at the hotel, within walking distance. On the smaller side, menu is ramen, katsu, and a couple rice bowls. Went with the pork loin rice bowl and spinach. Flavors were all there and lots of pork (think to was 4 big pieces). My con worker asked for some soy sauce and was only given a tiny thing. My only complaint Otherwise good, but yuck Service and good food read more

Ordered the miso ramen. My husband has a shellfish allergy, so we asked if they could swap the tofu in the vegetarian ramen for pork to avoid any fish-based ingredients. Same bowl, same price, just a substitution. They refused unless we paid extra for the pork. The broth was okay, but everything else was disappointing. The tofu was cold, the service wasn't great, and there was little effort to accommodate an allergy-related request. Plenty of places serve good ramen and treat customers better. We won't be back. You're not missing anything. read more

I might have to start driving down to Federal way to satisfy my Menya musashi craving! Menya Musashi is the one place I consistently recommend to Seattle visitors. Their tsukemen is delicious and the black garlic broth is so good. I always get the hybrid or black tsukemen. My one complaint about the Seattle location is how the portion sizes have gotten smaller and the prices have gone up. Portion sizes are not necessarily bigger here, but the price is much better than the capitol hill spot. The menu is also much bigger here and so many items to choose from! read more

Menya Muso - Inside - Ramen Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

Menya musashi is one of my favorite places for ramen! Why? The flavorful broth and springy noodles are addicting and hit the spot especially on a cold winter day. This was my first time at the federal way location and it was not too busy making the service quick! We got the yuzu and the mixed ramen! Such a big fan of the yuzu which had a light and bright flavor to the broth and the mixed ramen was a savory and umame flavor that paired so well! They also have coupons available that can be sent to your email so that is a good option to get a few dollars off! The location is in a plaza with tons of parking which made it an easy stop for dinner! Would definitely recommend any ramen fans to come here for a delicious ramen meal! read more

This is our 3rd time coming here and it was great like the past two times! We got the spicy curry dipping ramen and it is just so insanely good. We tried the green curry this time and it was just okay. Not super flavorful, wouldn't get it again. They changed their ordering system to where you order via your phone vs ordering with a server. It was pretty quick and efficient. read more

I've been here several times since they opened last year. Service is always great, and there are new or seasonal items often. The inside is fairly spacious. The vibe is casual. Japanese pop songs from early 2000s was playing when we visited. I tried the Yuzu Summer Tsukemen (limited time). First of, I'm pretty sure they used lemon on the plate and inside the dipping sauce. I didn't like the sauce much, it's citrus-y, a little sour, and has small pieces of rind which are bitter. The sauce also tasted grainy, especially towards the end when it got cold. Overall, I still prefer the ramen here (hybrid, curry, etc.) The special combo is a good deal (+$6.5 you get an appetizer and a drink). I like the chicken karaage (3 large pieces) and the takoyaki (4 balls). And I highly spend paying an extra $1 for the melon cream soda. read more

Unlike many ramen spots that use thin noodles, I really liked that they used slightly thicker noodles here. The broth tasted like a rich, well-simmered stock rather than the typical MSG-heavy ramen you often come across. Their set menu includes a ramen, a side, and a drink for about $20, which felt like a great deal given today's prices. The chicken karaage was perfectly crispy, and it seemed like they used dark meat, making it even more tender and flavorful! The service was also very friendly, and parking was easy and plentiful, which made the overall experience even better. read more

Menya Muso - ORIGINAL RAMEN CHICKEN KARAAGE - Ramen Near Me - Federal Way, Washington

This was an unexpected delight in Federal Way. Located in a shopping center off a main road and not too far from the highway. We went around 7 PM and the place was packed - a very good sign. The staff, which there were two, were very efficient and friendly. Our server explained the extensive menu options to us - in addition to traditional ramen, they have vegan ramen, as well as tsukemen and bento. With the ramen you can do a combo and include a drink and some kind of small appetizer. We chose popcorn chicken and vegetable potstickers. Everything was tasty. The utensils are neatly arranged on the table in advance. The decor is all based off the samurai-inspired theme. read more

The soup tasted like something whose base I couldn't identify. It seemed to be made white with cream or milk, far from a traditional tonkotsu broth. The sweetness in the seasoning also didn't make sense to me, and I didn't like it. The karaage was crispy and very good, but I don't think I would go to this restaurant for ramen. read more

They opened a location in Federal Way where I've been visiting a good bunch recently? I'm up for that! For this visit, I went with a friend at around 6pm on a Friday evening, and got seated immediately even though most tables were already filled. The interior is relatively spacious, with some small claw machines near the front and some nice wall decorations too. You order through a menu and utensils are provided on your table. I got the hybrid ramen, which is a combination of black garlic oil and some spiciness. For sides, I got the half-and-half takoyaki, in which I got mentaiko and negi ponzu. The tonkatsu broth is so flavorful and the added spice added a rich umami flavor to the whole thing. The pork belly was tender and complimented the soup base, and everything was just so good. I just wish portion sizes were bigger, because I really wanted more of it. As for the takoyaki, I preferred the mentaiko over the negi ponzu though both were really good; the sauce over the mentaiko added a slightly spicy kick to it, and the negi ponzu came with another dipping sauce that added a savory soy sauce-like flavor. Between this location and the Capitol Hill location, both are far from where I usually drive around, but this location has more parking, and I recommend this place for anyone in the area! read more

I've been to the Capitol Hill location a couple of times, and I'm glad that this new location is much closer to me AND has plenty of free parking! If you subscribe to their emails, they will send occasional promotions for a discount off certain orders. I typically order the tsukemen. I have found that the noodle quality can be inconsistent. At my last visit, the noodles were slightly soggy on the outside and not as bouncy. However, the flavors have been consistently good. The inside is spacious with plenty of seating. When they initially opened, we had to wait for a table. However, during recent visits, they haven't been packed enough to have a wait. It seems like they cheaped out on the decor. It's well decorated, but I can't get over how they kept the carpet. It gives the space an office kind of vibe, and I imagine that the carpet retains smells and isn't the easiest to clean. Overall, Menya Musashi is the best spot for tsukemen and ramen in Federal Way, and I would recommend it in a heart beat. read more

Tucked just off the I-5 and hidden a little; I seriously can't believe we never knew this place existed! First impression there's plenty of parking, and the interior is super clean, spacious, and has a really nice vibe. We came by for lunch, got seated right away, and placed our order fairly quick Started off with a couple of appetizers - edamame and takoyaki. Both came out fresh and hot. The edamame had a curry seasoning (I think?) and was a bit salty for me, but my husband was all about it What we ordered: Black Ramen - Rich, creamy broth with a strong garlic flavor. It was a bit much for me, but my husband loved it Spicy Curry Tsukemen - My first time trying dipping ramen, and I'm hooked! The hot, creamy curry broth paired with the cold noodles was so good This place might just become our new go to ramen spot read more

I can't believe I haven't left a review for Menya Ramen yet! My ramen journey with Menya started back in the COVID days at their Seattle location. I quickly fell in love and would frequently visit with friends. A couple of years passed, and they opened their Federal Way location--much closer to where I live in Tacoma. Now, my partner and I go at least twice a month! Now, onto their food --Menya's ramen is hands down the best in the area. I love the rich, creamy broth and the incredible flavors. I've even heard that their ramen is just like what you'd find in Japan! Their menu is extensive, with a variety of ramen to try. My go-to is the hybrid ramen (a mix of black garlic and spicy broth), and my second favorite is the spicy curry ramen. They also offer a great combo deal--around $6 to add an appetizer and a drink. Menya is always busy, but the wait is never too long! The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is great. Definitely give Menya a visit! read more

My hubby loves this place!!!! He says it was his favorite ramen he's had so far. We have been to quite a lot as well. Especially living in Southern California. Our friend suggested this spot as she frequents it and it was yummy! I loved the spicy ramen and like that they have kids options and utensils. Perfect for little ones. They wish have fun vending machines which my nephew enjoys. The service is quick and thorough. We will definitely return when visiting again. Thank you! read more

I came to Menya Musashi Tsukemen & Ramen on a Saturday night. It was busy, but I take that as a good sign to stay! I've never had the ramen there before but when I see a line and no empty seating, it must mean that the food is good. It also means that I MUST eat there! There was a kiosk for customers to order food and pay for it on the spot. I like that the kiosk display screen not only had the dish listed but also the photo. Everything looked delicious! I ordered the limited menu item Tantanmen with an egg added to it. It captured my attention because it had Sichuan peppercorn AND chili oil in it. I love the mouth numbing sensation of Sichuan peppercorn. The broth was rich and flavorful, and had a good spice to it. My friend ordered the Red Tsukemen with an egg added to it. Although I did not try it, it looked amazing and he said he enjoyed it. read more

My dad and I stopped in for a simple lunch and left very happy--and full. I've heard there's a Capitol Hill location but hadn't tried it before; this Federal Way spot did not disappoint. I ordered the tsukemen, and it was excellent. I love being able to control how much broth clings to each bite, and their thick, rich dip made every slurp satisfying. The broth had a nutty, roasted-sesame note, was deeply flavorful without being too salty, and paired beautifully with the noodles. My dad had the miso ramen; the broth was lighter and creamier in color than most places--milder, but still comforting. The chashu was nicely charred and well-seasoned, balancing the broth rather than overpowering it. We also shared chicken karaage/popcorn chicken--crispy outside, juicy inside. My dad loved it. The space is large, quiet, clean, and well-kept, tucked just behind Red Robin in Federal Way. It feels like a newer shop, and they're off to a strong start. One area to improve is service. Our server approached without a greeting and jumped straight to "Are you ready?" We were clearly first-timers and could've used a quick overview or a couple of suggestions. After the food arrived, no one checked back. A warm hello, a brief menu walkthrough for newcomers, and a simple "How's everything?" would elevate the experience. Overall, the food shines, and I'll definitely be back to try more items. If the service catches up to the kitchen, this could be one of the best ramen stops in Federal Way. read more

We have the luxury of going to Menya Muso on a weekday now that we are retired. For a true Japanese experience, try this place. They started a new lunch menu that includes Ramen, Sushi, and a hot or cold drink for one price from $18-24. I ordered the Samurai dish with black ramen, spicy salmon karage chicken and green tea. Perfect proportions and my husband helped with a few large bites. Black ramen is from black garlic, very healthy. I enjoyed the staff which made the environment comfortable and authentic. To them, arigato gozaimas! read more

I come quite often and we usually have a decent experience. We ordered two Tsukemens and 2 kids ramens as well as chicken karage' per my kids request with a sprite. TWO TIMES the karage' came out RAW on the inside. I wish I woulda taken a picture but I was so upset and quick to have them take it back I didn't. After the second time, the waitress recommended we switched to the popcorn chicken instead because it was smaller and less likely to be raw inside. We agreed to the change, the chicken didn't come out until we were basically done with our ramen. When checking out the waitress apologized for the inconvenience and informed me that she was going to apply a discount, I thought that was nice until I realized the only thing she applied was my own coupon code that I had for the one tsukemen, absolutely nothing for the chicken. We got a sprite, they honestly would have comped a sprite or something. Overall a very disappointing experience, we probably will come back because we do enjoy this place. But this specific time was not ok, hope they do better. read more

We decided to go here last night (for the first time) because we were craving some dipping ramen! Upon walking in, I love the aesthetic for the place, and the cute little claw machines. We were sat within 5 mins. We both decided to get the combo (for $6 extra) which includes one appetizer and a drink of your choice. I chose the black garlic tsukemen, and got the chicken karrage (3 pieces) and soda. The tsukemen was pretty good. I hate that the pork was already cold on arrival. Also, we had to buy an egg (usually it's already part of the tsukemen) so the meal was pretty pricey. The karrage was crispy and juicy with a pretty good sauce. My partner got the original tsukmen and the the takoyaki. Both was pretty good. Both of our meals was alright. I would come back again and try other things. The service was great from both the male and female. They were very attentive and polite. read more

For my wife's birthday I wanted to take her somewhere for noodles, and after looking around for something new I discovered Menya's on Yelp. We were greeted and seated right away, browsing the menu was great and we quickly decided what we each wanted. I ordered the Spicy Curry Tsukemen, and my wife ordered Black Ramen with an egg, we both shared what we had together because that's how we roll, and both of them were fantastic. the flavors were out of this world, and you can tell the folks in the kitchen really put their hearts into what they do. The food looks, smells, and tastes wonderful. Our server was superb, knew a lot about what he was serving, and gave us a really great understanding of what we were ordering. Our experience there was excellent and we will definitely be back! read more

Been wanting to try this place for a bit, because I wanted to try their soupless ramen, the Mazemen. But, they had already removed it from their menu for at least a couple of months by the time I was able to try the place. I met up with my friend for lunch. Sje loves the place, and comes often. I decided on the Tantanmen, and I had to try the Loaded Musashi Fries. The fries were good; love shoestring fries. The Tantanmen was good; broth was very flavorful and nice texture of the noodles. Service was great; staff was quick, friendly, and attentive. Will need to come back to try the dipping ramen. read more

Good ramen for me on the pork based ramen. Vegan ramen was a little less flavorful for my wife dessert was delicious and made up for the less flavorful vegan ramen.

-Went here for date night. Heard from someone from San Diego that had Menya Ramen out there. And just so happened to see Menya in federal way. -The takoyaki balls were so hot and so yummy. -The Tsukemen ramen was amazing. I asked for cold noodles and hot dipping sauce. But next time I would get hot noodles! Was the most creamiest, spicy and savory sauce + pork was amazing with it. My partner had the spicy ramen. The broth was amazing. I usually don't like ramen. But this is the spot to go to. The portion were just right and enough to get you full but not disgustingly full. -The service here was great. Amazing staff, amazing food and extremely presentable. Would go here again. read more

Enjoyed my meal thoroughly at Menya! Wanted to try a new ramen spot and it did not disappoint. If you like a heavier, thicker ramen, this is the place for you! The broth had just the right seasoning and was sooo rich in flavour, I cleared out my bowl almost immediately. It is a bit on the saltier side though, but thats just the style of the ramen. There were options for dipping ramen into soup, but we opt for the traditional ramen route. We also added $6 and for their combo, which comes with a drink (list on their menu) and a side dish. I got a can of coke and popcorn chicken. There was a decent amount of chicken, but it was a bit too much batter for my liking. If you get the karaage, they give 3 pieces. We ordered the garlic Tonkotsu and dandan mian. Both were great-- however don't order the dan Dan mian if you can't handle spicy. It's definitely for a kick. I love how they have a small order of rice bowls available for order too. We really wanted to try the curry rice bowl and it was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try their curry ramen! Service was pretty quick considering we had a bigger larger of six order right before us. I imagine it'd be quicker if it wasn't for that. They do lots of take out too! Inside was spacious!!! Lots of room to walk around and I personally like that vibe. Can't wait to come back!!! read more

Honestly this place was my favorite but after the whole name change, the food doesn't taste the same at all. Usually I order the hybrid tsukemen but this last time i went the soup tasted sooooo fishy and flavorless. I did mention this to the server and she even said that other people have mentioned that it doesn't taste like before. For now I don't think Ill be stopping by for soup cause its just a waste of my money. Hopefully in the future it goes back to how it was. read more

Finally good ramen in Federal Way! After moving from the Bay Area a few years ago, my wife and I have been missing ramen. We tried all the spots in the area and they were all mediocre, but Menya Musashi hits the spot. Excellent broth and noodles, amazing chashu, and perfect sides - we will definitely be coming back! read more

got the hybrid ramen since i couldn't decide on red or black garlic and it turned out perfect! great ramen texture, broth was flavorful without being too salty, and plenty of toppings. besides a huge variety of ramen and tsukemen offerings they also have a lot of bento rice plates! love a ramen place that can multitask :) everyone will be happy to find something they like. service was great. restaurant was clean. can accommodate larger groups. they were able to easily split our checks since we were on business. definitely will return when i find myself back to federal way. read more
