An indoor dining space with Samurai art decorating the walls, perfect place to warm up on a rainy day with a piping hot bowl of ramen! I got the Hybrid Ramen, which was a mixture of their Red and Black Ramen (Spicy + More Garlic). The ramen was delicious! The broth was very creamy and had hard hitting spice and pork flavor, which is something I look for when enjoying ramen. The noodles were chewy and the pork belly succulent, just an overall a fantastic bowl of ramen. The price was good ($13) - I would definitely like to come back and enjoy more inviting bowls in the future! read more

Menya Muso - Hybrid Red and Black Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Seattle, Washington

When I visited this restaurant for dinner, I was really confused because it was closed at first. Turns out that on some weekdays (I went on a Thursday), they are closed between 3:00-5:00PM LOL. So we went to Amazon Fresh next door and waited a bit until they reopened for dinner. We were greeted and brought to a table right away. I like the dim lighting and dark, chill atmosphere. Highly recommend the black ramen (garlic and sesame) if you like Unami flavor. Sooo good and unique. I thought the broth had a balance of bitter, garlicky, and fatty taste. It's creamy and really rich, so I kind of got sick of it after eating more tho hahaha. The pork was tender, juicy, and flavorful. It was $16.95, which is higher than other ramen places I've tried but it's so good and worth a try! We also got the happy hour special that came with chicken karaage, dipping sauce and a drink of choice. The place got busy really quick when we were leaving around 6PM. Overall I would recommend! Planning to come back and try the hybrid ramen next. read more

My second favorite ramen place in Seattle following ramen danbo :) I got the hybrid ramen while my friend got the curry ramen. I really enjoyed the taste of both. The broth was flavorful and rich. The garnishing of crunchy bean sprouts and green onions provided a nice texture balance. I would probably oscillate between these 2 dishes if I were to come here repeatedly. The only reason why I say this is my second favorite ramen place is that the noodles are not as firm as the ones at ramen danbo, and I'm a fan of firm noodles. read more

We got the original ramen, the hybrid tsukemen, and we also got the half and half takoyaki (mentaiko and original). The overall price for that was around $50 before tip. When we first got to the restaurant, it was pretty busy given that it was PAX weekend. It was around a 15 minute wait time. The waiters were very nice even though things seemed kinda wild. The food was very well presented and was flavorful all around. At first, it did not seem like a lot of food for the price, but then partway through eating we found ourselves very full from the noodles that were provided. It can last up to 2 meals depending on how much you usually eat. The ambiance felt like a open door bar-kinda vibe. Lots of wood everywhere, and enough space to walk around. read more

The chicken nanban and tsukemman ramen are incredible and rare enough for Seattle. The place is cozy and need to walk in or reserve ahead for bigger groups. read more

Service was exceptionally friendly and helpful! The waitresses who help me were so kind. A very casual dinner spot, I saw many families dining here. The chicken karaage I got during happy hour so it was fairly priced and tasted solid. The original tsukemen ramen, which I ordered cold, was very disappointing. Their noodles were pretty good, but the dipping broth was mediocre. The char siu was one of the worst I've had. Very touch and not that flavorful. There are much better ramen places in the area, so I likely wouldn't come back unless a friend was wanted to dine here. read more

Service and ambiance were great, it was a nice little spot, and they were friendly. Food was underwhelming though, my ramen had as much mushroom and seaweed as noodles to the point I couldn't taste anything but seaweed. My wife's spicy curry ramen wasn't spicy and also generally underwhelming. Not sure if we'll return again anytime soon. read more

If you want a small portion, overpriced, extremely mediocre bento box, come here!! I regret coming here and I honestly wish I just went to Panda Express. Sushi is also 99% rice and 1% fish, so if you like that come here! Salmon was fishy, and it tasted low quality. I didn't try the ramen, so it may be my fault for not getting that. Wish I didn't come here. read more

Love! This restaurant is so tasty, I had the hybrid dipping ramen 10/10! The overall ambiance is casual, the tables are a bit close. The servers were terrific and very helpful with answering questions. read more

The place is okay. I guess it's great for locals since the line is long but moves quickly. For out-of-towners like my boyfriend and me, it was strange to see a Japanese place that only offers pork in their soup, with no chicken or beef options. The original ramen was ok. I wish the pork pieces were bigger, as they were quite small.The veggie ramen was nothing extraordinary.The servers were a bit odd and couldn't answer our questions clearly. Overall, the place felt a bit weird to us, but maybe it's more suited for locals. Who knows?! read more

Came here again and got the Hybrid tsukemen (dipping ramen) this time! The noodles are room tempish but you dip them into the broth and it's super good! If you want something warm I'd recommend the ramen, but I liked the taste of this one more overall! We also got the takoyaki which was yummy! Came as a group of 3 on a Sunday night around 6:40 and waited about 35 min! read more

Menya Muso - Spicy curry ramen - Ramen Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Solid tsukemen ramen. The noodles are perfection, good amount of bite and chewiness. The dipping broth is very good. I know some comments said it was too salty but that wasn't my experience. To note, I quickly dip my noodles in the broth and don't let it sit in it, which may be why the broth isn't as potent when I eat it. The egg add on is worth, perfectly soft boiled. The chashu is good as well, nice and fatty with flavor. The chicken karaage was so juicy and very impressive! Breading was minimal so you can fully enjoy the chicken. Overall, a great recommendation if you don't want a long wait but still want a good meal. I would come back for sure! read more

Food is good. Both ramens (ramen with hot broth and tsukemen (dipping ramen) with cold broth are good. If you are looking for tsukemen, it's a good place to go! Servers were friendly. Food served bit slower despite it wasn't busy. We went there during weekends but heard that this place would be so busy on the weekends. So, you might expect to be in line. Ambience is nice. Very ramen place vibe! read more

I got the Hybrid Ramen ($17.25) with an egg ($2.25) and my boyfriend got the Hybrid Ramen combo (+$6 additional for a choice of appetizer and drink). The Hybrid Ramen is a blend of their Black Ramen (garlic & sesame) and Red Ramen (spicy). It is definitely on the pricier side for ramen, but you're definitely paying for the seared chashu pork, which is what sets this ramen place apart. They had some of the most flavorful chashu pork that really complemented the broth. At some ramen places, I feel like you can get tired of the chashu pieces, but I was left wanting more. The broth had the standard bean sprouts and wood ear mushrooms, but I wished they gave more! The broth was also really good, but I still don't think it's as deep as other ramen restaurants. As for ambience, the restaurant was much larger than it looks on the outside! It had tons of seating and had a dark wood interior. Tables were pre-set up with menus and utensils. The service was very nice and they were very informative on the types of ramen they offered! The food also came out so quick, so it is perfect if you're looking for a quick bite to eat when you're hungry! Overall, if you're looking to splurge on some ramen and have some yummy chashu, I would highly suggest stopping by! Make sure to not go during peak hours (weekend nights) as they mainly rely on street parking. read more

The ramen broth here is so rich and flavorful. Absolutely my favorite soup base in Seattle so far. I always order the red and black ramen. The chasiu in the ramen is very well marinated, sweet and savory at the same time. The meat has perfect ratio of fat to make it super tender. The soft boiled eggs are always perfect. Egg yolk is very runny and the egg white is very well marinated. read more

I came for the Tsukemen... and was not disappointed. First off, Kyle was the nicest waiter and his service immediately added value to our evening. The art on the walls and the open air ambiance were on point. After explaining that I already have a favorite ramen location in Seattle, the challenge was on, and Menya Musashi won me over with the best tasting Tsukemen I've had in the Seattle area. The karaage was delicious. The miso ramen was delicious. But the half black/half red Tsukemen stole the show. There is really nothing more important I can say to you right now than, eat here without questioning it. You will not be disappointed. read more

Was recommended to check out this restaurant when I was visiting Seattle and was not sure if I would have a chance to visit. In the end, my cousin and I had the chance to pass by. It was late when we passed by the restaurant and there was still a wait to be seated so it is popular. We decided to wait and after an hour wait, we were seated inside. We ordered the original tsukemen and chashu don. The tsukemen noodles were nice and chewy and paired well with the warm dipping broth. I would suggest to either pour the broth into the noodles after a few times of dipping the noodles for the whole experience because the noodles can get dry and stick together quickly. The chashu don was a nice as well. If I am to have the chance to visit Seattle again, I would like to come back to try the tsukemen again and ramen that they have at the restaurant. read more

Definitely love the vibe here, and for you millennials out there that want to relive the days of Fall Out Boy, Panic at the Disco, and GreenDay while eating some delicious ramen, WHILE surrounded by samurai art, this is the place to be. We ordered the: Original Takoyaki Hybdrid Tsukemen Black Tsukemen (garlic) We had a difficult decision to choose the flavor of the takoyaki, and I was expecting the original to be, well, basic. But lo and behold, it was actually really good. Definitely a must for a starter, and I'm excited to go back and try some other flavors! I never had dipping noodles, and this experience was really tasty. Make sure to go fishing in the broth for some extra bamboo and some meat, and it was absolutely delicious. I ordered a large for a small charge, and I think it's completely worth it! The pork was cooked well and tender, and the broth with the pork gave it such a nice kick. I only just wish that the original bowl came with some extra toppings, like green onions or corn, without having to pay an extra fee. But other than that, I would highly recommend this place if you're craving some noodles in Cap Hill, it's definitely hard to beat. I am looking forward to trying other dishes here! read more

This is a great place for a quick or last minute dinner outing. The ramen is consistent (brother could be served hotter) and I love the 10 different takoyaki flavors on the menu. Negi ponzu and curry takoyaki are a couple of my favorites. The popcorn chicken don was more like mochiko chicken or karaage (just different sized pieces). The curry don is delicious and just the right ratio of curry to rice. Just need a dessert menu and I would be set here! read more

This place was a delight for a vegetarian who is in love with Ramen- it felt amazing to finally find a place that had more than 1-2 veg options on their menu. also I was exited to try this chain which has 13+ restaurants in Japan. The place is on the Belmont Avenue and is close to a parking garage. It has as an industrial-chic decor with photos of Musashi Miyamoto on walls, plates everything. They have ample seating both inside and outside. The servers are friendly and very helpful! Tried their veggie Ramen and spicy veggie ramen- they have a regular and large bowl option. The large could be split - although I don't think it's large enough to be shared. The ramen itself was delicious. It had - sesame and mushroom broth that made creamy and came with topping of bean sprouts, green onions, bean sprouts, blanched spinach and a paste that was bean like in taste. The spicy veggie ramen was indeed spicy- even for my Indian tastebuds but it was delicious They mentioned the Mabo ramen was spicier than the spicy version - I wanted to try the mabu tofu sauce but I don't think I can handle that level of spiciness I also tried their Musashi curry don which was a rice bowl with some curry. I wasn't a big fan of it. The curry could have used some more spices but it could be cause I opted for a vegetarian option. A side of Veggie gyoza came with 6pc and it was so delicious we ordered another 2 portions of it as soon as we tried it Great Ramen place with good vegetarian options. Tip - The service is a tad slow so I would suggest placing the entire order in one go. read more

Overall, this was a nice restaurant. They have a lot of selection, and they have lots of options for vegetarians/vegans. However, I felt pretty rushed, both when trying to order and when I was wrapping things up with my friend. I also felt that the food was a little stingier on the more expensive ingredients, such as chashu in the ramen. Everything tasted good though, and I had a good time. read more

I ordered hybrid ramen and chicken nanban. The hybrid ramen is a combination of black garlic and spicy. I like the texture of the noodles with right amount of springiness and not too soft. The broth was rich but doesn't provide the umami flavor. I like the kick of the spicy but can't really taste the black garlic. They were generous with the toppings (wood ear mushroom, spinach, and bean sprouts). I really like egg in my ramen and you have to add it as an add-on for more than $2, which I think it kind of expensive. I like the karaage chicken but not a huge fan of the tartar sauce on top. They provided huge chicken pieces and the meat is juicy with great flavor. I wish there's a bit more breading/crisp to the chicken. It tasted more like an egg salad with curry powder; probably should've just ordered the karaage chicken by itself. read more

I love tsukemen and I'm always on the lookout for a new favorite spot when traveling. Menya has some of the tastiest tsukemen I've had and I'm glad we ended up eating lunch here! I got the hybrid tsukemen since I couldn't decide between the black or red options and I'm so glad I did! Out of the food my friends and I ordered, we all agreed that the hybrid tsukemen was the tastiest out of the bunch! The tsukemen had everything I'm looking for - from their thick and savory dipping broth (full of umami) and it's a huge bonus for me since they use wide flat noodles for dipping! I added on the Ajitama egg and I definitely recommend it if you love ramen eggs since it was the perfect soft boiled egg and full of delicious savory ramen eggy flavors! We opted to get the half & half takoyaki since we couldn't decide between the two flavors. The mentaiko and curry flavors were so delicious. They did not skimp on the sauces on top of the takoyaki and each piece had a decent amount of sauce! The takoyaki was nice and fresh and we burned our mouths a little bit since we all were so eager to eat the takoyaki! The portions to their ramen and tsukemen were perfect and we were extremely full leaving the restaurant! Highly recommend this place if you love tsukemen! read more

We visited this restaurant on a super hot Saturday, and were seated relatively quickly (15-20min wait). The staff were extremely friendly and regularly checked up on us and refilled our water cups. I came with three other friends and we shared the Takoyaki (half and half of original and honey mustard). It was amazing and a perfect appetizer for 4. I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen - it was amazing. The broth was so thick and creamy, and they were very generous with the noodles. Overall, I really enjoyed that ramen place and would definitely recommend and come again! One thing to note is that the broth is very thick and can make you feel a bit stuffed afterwards. I enjoyed this place a lot though and look forward to eating here again! read more

TLDR: A solid bowl of ramen in a Tsukemen world. Sunday 8/8/22 ~8:00pm, $23.82 after tip ~~~~~~~~~ Curry Ramen ~~~~~~~~~ Final Score: 8.185/10 (7.9/10) Noodles: Upper-tier thin egg-noodles. Sourced from a good vendor, cooked well with the right amount of bite (what you'd expect of any higher end noodle shop). The noodles themselves were chewy with a mostly neutral flavor. They help up well to the strong curry broth. GOOD. (8.2/10) Broth: A mix of Japanese curry flavors/seasoning with the standard tonkotsu ramen broth. It's not the fully-powered curry-sauce-mix (what you would see on a katsu curry) but you don't miss out on any of the curry flavor. The base pork broth is rich, well seasoned, and has a lot of depth. Most Tsukemen places also have particularly strong ramen broth. Menya is no exception. Hangs with any curry ramen to date. (8.7/10) Egg (+$2.25): A very strong marinated egg. The +$2.25 is pretty steep for a topping I would consider mandatory for any bowl of ramen, but in this case, it's worth the premium. The full-egg was well cooked with only a slight amount of curdling around the edges. The sweet soy marinade was strong, flavorful, and stood up to the strong broth. A solid egg for a high price. (8.3/10) Meat: Well-executed premium chashu. A very thick cut of pork belly, charred, with a strong marinade flavor. The edges of the pork were flame grilled. Fat/meat ratio was on point. The actual meat portions of the pork belly were slightly chewy, but everything else about the chashu was upper-tier. (8.5/10) Misc Topping: Filler/bland bean sprouts took a little away from the bowl. The spinach seemed seasoned/prepared in some way, a nice touch. Green onions, wood-ear mushrooms, nori are all standard/appropriate toppings. (7.4/10) Other: A surprising bowl of ramen from a Tsukemen specialty shop. The main draw is still the ultra rich Tsukemen. But, if you're in for something lighter (the only time ramen can be considered "light"). The curry ramen won't disappoint. *Weighted Scoring Formula: Noodles (25%), Broth (25%), Egg (15%), Meat (15%), Misc Top. (10%), Other (10%) Other: Bathrooms: Gender neutral bathrooms. Clean, works, nothing to complain about. Parking: Tough parking for the area; Even on a Sunday ~8:00. Street parking only with some paid lots. Service: Quick, friendly, efficient. Your water get refilled quickly and the food comes fast. Good. read more

I wanted to try this ramen place since I started walking around the area more. I ordered their standard ramen with a boiled egg and my friend got the standard ramen, curry don, and fries. The ramen is average, it could've been better. It could have been more flavorful, thicker broth, and richer. The rice in the curry don was crunchy and undercooked. There are no vegetables in the curry. It's just curry sauce and pickles. Honestly, you could make better curry at home. What really made the experience terrible is finding 2 bugs in the ramen bowl. The patio seating is basically next to trashcans in the back. It's full of flies. The kitchen isn't too far from the patio either. 1 was small, probably a fruit fly. Tried to let that one go but then a bigger bug, like a beetle or some roach was found. We informed the waiter. They did refund one person's meal. I didn't finish the food because I was just disgusted and it ruined my appetite. They should have refund the entire table. 1 bowl of ramen wasn't enough for the trauma. Fries were really good, nice kick and spice. read more

This is my favorite place for tsukemen in Seattle. Perfectly chewy, slurpy noodles. Lucious, fatty broth, with crunchy menma and garlic crisp. Delicious! If you're over 21+, I'd also recommend the peach jello shot which pairs nicely! I always suggest to eat half your noodles and then add in some garlic crunch and fruit vinegar to take it to the next level. Once you finish your noodles, ask for some broth to water down the tsukemen broth to drink it otherwise it tends to be too salty for me. Service here is great, they're always ready to give recommendations, point out the best deals and get you what you need. Don't forget to ask for the punch card and get your bonuses! +1 Vibe +1 Taste +1 Presentation +1 Service +1 Value read more

The tsukemen ramen is their namesake and a must try! Broth is rich and full of flavor. The noodles soaks up the broth well with each bite; also had a nice bouncy texture on it. The spicy tsukemen had a kick, made my nose run, but tolerable. Highly recommend if you are a tsukemen lover. They do have other ramen types available, which we did not try. Has a bit of a wait but not long, and worth it. Inside is fairly loud and interior not very spacious so not worth bringing large groups. Would definitely return next time I am in Seattle. read more
