Ordered takeout from here recently and it was amazing! We got the crispy rice with spicy tuna, the spicy garlic edamame, and the grilled gyoza. All were super good. I particularly loved the edamame, as it was a fun twist on what I normally have. We even paired it with some chilled sauvignon blanc, and it was delicious. Everything went perfectly with our order. I'd definitely love to try them again soon at the location. read more

Been here a couple times and I tried to give it another chance but I'm done with it. The noodles in the ramen were so doughy, tasted like I was eating soggy flour. No bounce to the noodles at all. The broth has no real depth. Even the egg was disappointing. Good service is attentive and will make you feel like you didn't have to ask, the service here makes you feel like you're begging to be seen or heard. The only thing I liked was the karaage. I'd rather make packaged ramen at home than spend $30 here for a bowl of ramen + tax and tip. read more

We ordered Blaze Ramen with chicken karagee, chicken bun and gyoza. The ramen was flavorless and insipid, it was bland enough for us to leave mid meal. read more

Silverlake Ramen - Spicy Veggie - Ramen Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Tried the veggie ramen minus the noodles because I'm gf (and they didn't have any rice noodles). It tastes really good. Perhaps a weird comment but I have to add that I loved the spoons because it made it easy to eat. My husband also tried the chicken karage and really enjoyed it. Overall service was good and timely, but we felt slightly rushed towards the end as the server was hovering over us. Although I got the truffle salt edamame, you could barely taste it...Ambiance is really cute. We stopped in for lunch during the week and found a table right away. read more

Pretty cool and chill place. Better than expected after reading the yelp reviews. Staff were nice and service was fast. We got the Blaze spicy ramen and the Garlic Truffle ramen. Both were really good; thick and flavourfull. Blaze was spicy but too overly spicy. We also got the ghost pepper kimchi; 100% will get it again. Its soooo good. The side if karage was good as well; nothing crazy; just your typical karaage. Overall; its a good spot but not so good that you would go out of your way just to get it. IMOO; The noodles in the garlic truffle would have been better to use in the Blaze spicy ramen read more

Despite having "ramen" in its name, I found that many of their other menu items were significantly better than their ramen options. My main issue with the ramen, specifically the spicy ones (my friends let me try theirs) was that they were extremely oily and pepper forward. Although I typically LOVE spicy food, this kind of spice had no other flavor but the actual spice itself. So unless this is a flavor you're into, I would definitely recommend getting something else. On the other hand, I thought the chicken karaage bowl was really delicious and well balanced! They also offer multiple sizes, which is good for those who might not be able to eat a full portion. I would 100% get this again. Both the interior and staff are quite casual- both nice! It's also located in the Village, which is an amazing area with many shops conveniently next door. read more

We were craving ramen after taking the kiddos to the park. Cute place with a huge beautiful mural. I thought the prices were a bit elevated for ramen.. but we are in Kirkland. I got the combo for $21.. shoyu chicken ramen with fried gyoza. Gyozas were smaaall. I never seen gyozas that small. Ramen bowl was okay.. decent amount of food. Shoyu broth was on the bland side- nothing too memorable about it. Chicken was okay as well.. wish they gave more. Next time I want to try a rice dish. Server was nice, especially to the kiddos. read more

I tried Silverlake Ramen and failed to get Ramen because I love chicken so much . So I ordered the Chicken Karaage Bowl Regular, Extra Spicy Aioli ($0.55), Fried Gyoza 6 pcs. I wasn't crazy about the Aioli, but it served it purpose. It was the mouthfeel for me. The Karaage bowl was very good along with the Gyoza. I feel like if you eat in and have the items right out the kitchen to maintain the crispy exterior of anything deep fried,10/10. The rice that came with the bowl was so delicious that I ate it all first before eating the Karaage. I placed a to go order which is fulfilled through (Grubhub), and not directly from the restaurant. Initial communication is great, just no follow up from the service that the order is ready. So I recommend going in to wait for the order. I would definitely eat from this establishment again. The restaurant has a lovely person to greet and seat you . The interior appears to be a large open space with ample seating, and the feel of the restaurant is upbeat, bright and inviting. read more

Best ramen in Western Washington. Don't @ me I don't care too much for restaurant looks, but they rock a westernized ramen bar aesthetic, which is pretty neat. But more importantly is the giant bowls of noodle goodness awaiting your order. The only thing that can match their flavor is the prices. (17$ per? In this economy?) Sides are fire too. The spiced pork bun's and broccolini are top notch. It was so good I tried to make some at home, to little avail. Staff are the sweetest, they always get you what you need, when you need it, with a cheery demeanor. Got that bonus from work? Take the fam down to silver-lake. You won't regret it read more

Silverlake Ramen - The Garlic Truffle Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

My friend brought me to my first pilates class (big mistake) and we were looking for something to eat in the area! Totem lake has a bunch of new restaurants and businesses, but we decided to check out Silverlake ramen for a nice bowl of soup. Since it's right in the middle of the plaza, there's a nice parking lot with ample parking. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is bright and comfortable, and staff were very attentive. It was starting to get pretty packed inside but my friend and I were immediately seated and didn't have to wait too long for food. We both got the classic ramen, which included a creamy pork stock. The broth was rich and filling, and the noodles were well cooked as well - great for a cold day in Seattle! I do think for the price however, it is certainly on the pricier side for a bowl of ramen. In total I paid about $20 including the tip, when I feel I could get as good of a bowl or a better bowl for a better price. I'd check this spot out again, but I'm also interested in the other restaurants Totem lake has as well. read more

I had left overs and the soup was still very good the next day especially with the noodles soaked in the soup overnight. read more

We came here on a cold wintery early evening, craving something to warm us up. I had the ramen combo with Blaze ramen with chicken and the appetizer as chicken karaage. The karaage was served first and appropriately portion of 4 pieces. It was pretty crispy and tasted good with the spicy mayo. The Brave ramen had a flavorful, creamy broth with a good medium spice level. I will say the noodles could have been better but were overall ok. Happy eating! read more

went at a non busy time, so service was fairly quick! we got seated very quickly by the hostess, & in a nice place. server was a bit short with us, but it could've been due to it being end of day. it was fairly quiet for a bright shop! it was very relaxing to sit there & smell all the different varieties of food mingle in the air, & looking at all the pretty bright lights & popping mural art that was scattered around. there's a good smoky of seating & fairly spacious, so luckily it also didn't feel crowded. i got the soboro bowl, which was scrambled egg, green onion, sesame seeds, minced chicken, & red ginger on top of rice. the red ginger was way spicier than i thought it was & sadly had to remove it haha ! the chicken was oddly sweet, which made it taste surprisingly good, & thankfully wasn't fatty. the scrambled eggs were nice & fluffy & made me wish there was so much more ! the rice was very starchy & bland, hard to eat, until you added some soy sauce to sweeten it a little. it was very good overall if you're looking for an alternative to ramen ! overall, i had a nice experience here. i wish there was some more variety in appetizers (ex/ salad) & desserts (churros & ice cream) but besides that, everything was very yummy ! read more

First time trying silver lake ramen and I love that they had a chicken broth option. I was so impressed by their food and love the ambience (love that took a little effort to make it pop) Let's talk food!! Shoya: broth is superb! Very flavorful and the chicken was incredibly tender without being over cooked or stringy, everything in the bowl added to the flavors loved it!! Spicy chicken bun: yes yes yes! I'd like 10 more please, everything about this was on point loved it and planning on going back for more!! Also let's not mention the waitress there was so sweet and answered our questions patiently. Well done SilverLake! read more

Silverlake Ramen - Spicy Chicken Bun - OMG so so yummy! - Ramen Near Me - Kirkland, Washington

Best Ramen by far that I have eaten. I had the blaze combo with pork max spicy and the karage bun. Delicious broth and perfect texture on the noodles, and good tasting meat and nice soft egg. I had the garlic truffle version on a previous visit; Personally, I think it is not as good as the blaze, and that the truffle detracts from the flavor. Food is my primary focus, but service was great here. The only ramen place in my area I would consider visiting. read more

We came on a busy Sunday afternoon right before dinner (around 4:30). The restaurant with casual ambience is surprisingly busy at this odd hour since everyone is out on this nice day. Positive: +Baby-friendly - Spacious walkway, great for stroller and highchair. Changing table in the women's bathroom. +Food came out fairly quickly. Negative: -Food, particular the ramen, were meh. We tried Blaze (spicy tonkatsu, chili paste on top) and Garlic Truffle Ramen. Both ramen need more salt. Blaze was disappointing, the broth was not flavorful. I asked for 3/3 spicy on Blaze, and only used half of the chili paste that came. I recommend the Garlic Truffle Ramen if you are a fan of mushroom. My favorite part was the thick cut of chashu. -The hostess was very nice, but the server made me feel rushed. read more

I liked it the last time I came here. But now it's just alright. It's missing some of the toppings most places have and I was missing that. And I prefer the thinner slices of meat rather than a huge chunk. They were quick with their services, maybe a little too attentive. We didn't need constant check ins to clear our bowls. read more

Pretty cool. Seems like a nice chill modern cafe and spacious. Solid option in Totem Lake. A small handful of vegan options stick out. I chose to start with the veggie ramen. The gentleman server seemed 90% sure it was vegan so I just said make it so, if they change anything per my request just tell me what they did. The bowl of warmth arrives and it's just comfortable right in that spot. I'd like to potentially try those others so I might have to come back again some time. read more

My boyfriend and I stopped by this place around 12:45 PM on a Sunday and it was full. We waited about 15-20 minutes before we got a text to check in with the host. Our waiter was super quick to start us off with two glasses of water. We ordered: 1. The Blaze (mild) with thick noodle and an additional chili paste on the side (16.50$): I really like the creamy broth and the big chunk of pork. Rather than the usual bamboo shoots, my bowl had crunchy bean sprouts and colorful spinach. The seasoned egg was soft and delicious. The gave me way too much noodle which can be a plus for some people. I ended up just sipping the broth away. The mild had a very small kick so I was glad that I got the additional chili paste on the side. Overall, super fulfilling especially on a rainy day! 2. Cajun Mazemen (17.25$): my boyfriend opted to try this new dish and it tasted like a seafood boil in Ramen form. The noodle went well with the chicken/Cajun broth. It came with two pieces of shrimps and thee slices of hot link sausage. However, my boyfriend mentioned that he would love this more if it had more meat. The corn pieces add a nice texture and flavor to the whole bowl. read more

Located in Totem Lake, this cute spot has a great location with friendly staff. We tried the vegetarian ramen, impossible bun, and veggie curry bowl. The curry bowl is a sweet and spicy mix, so if you're into that flavor combo, you should try it. The impossible buns were decent, though I've had better. The ramen itself had basic flavors, but they offer a variety of add-ons, which I would recommend to enhance the dish. read more

I really liked this place. The ramen was so delicious as was the broth. The service was EXCELLENT. They were fast, very attentive, and I just felt cared for as a customer. I had my toddler with me who devoured a whole bowl of ramen which I had ordered to share. Sadly I only had two bites (the life of a mom). My baby also had a couple mouthfuls of white rice. I asked for this on the side as a special request and they were able to provide it. Having two kids eat here for lunch was stressful, but the staff made it very manageable. I would come back here again. read more

I never liked ramen until I went to Silverlake Ramen. Something about this broth is just different than normal salty ramen broth. I really can't decide which ramen I like the most the The Shoyu on Fire or The Blaze. I think the Blaze because it is creamy. The Shoyu on Fire is also so good and it has corn! I LOVE eating spicy but when I got this one spicy it was soooo spicy, but it was still so good! So just beware! Sometimes I feel like one of the slices of pork is not enough and I treat myself to two lol I love the bun appetiziers and the gyoza! My sister's love the chicken karaage bowl, the chicken is so crispy!! It can get pretty busy on the weekends but there are so any shops nearby to keep you occupied. The service is hit or miss with refilling the water, the always refill the water right when you are all done with your food? Lol read more

It was a blustery day in Kirkland and I was craving a hot bowl of noodly goodness, so I decided to knock yet another new place off my Yelp bucket list: Silverlake Ramen. I was pleasantly surprised not only to find parking right in front of the shop, but to be seated right away during the busy lunch rush. Confession: I'm no ramen snob. But my Shoyu On Fire was one big bowl of amazing delishness. The broth was rich (and spicy), the noodles tender, and it had just enough fixin's to fill my belly and warm me up inside. The restaurant itself is modern and well-decorated, with promises (hopefully) of a sake bar to come, and MANY menu items marked as "not yet available" - hopefully these are both good signs that they're planning to expand their offerings in the near future. The service was quick and friendly, and I was out of there in well under 45 minutes. The prices were, well, very 2022. Including tax and tip my lunch (I just drank water) came to just over $20. read more

The food was just not tasty or appetizing. The ramen bowl was not worth the price charged. The appetizer chicken was less than one star. Our service was okay, but we felt they were pushy to get paid NOW, even before we had finished our food! The restaurant had a "unfinished" look with no real theme to the location. Parking was terrible, on a weekday afternoon. We rate this at one star and we will not recommend or return to this lousy restaurant. In a world of food choices, don't waste your money here. read more

From my initial search in Apple Maps to see what was the closest one, it showed 3.5 stars. Yes, reviews are fickle and subjective (obviously), but I was too hungry to really care. I didn't read any of the views but with 3.5 stars, my expectations weren't very high. Very cool interior design, welcoming/friendly staff. I ordered a coke, pork bun and the Blaze bowl with medium spice. A little more spicy than I'm used to but man, it was SO good. The pork was AMAZING, probably the most well cooked/ well flavored pork I've ever had with ramen. I'll order less spicy next time. The clump of spinach was a perfect addition too. read more

A friend recommended this place and we were in West Seattle. We looked and it said they were open until 8:30pm. We left West Seattle and arrived around 8:10pm. When we entered they said the kitchen was closed. So they really aren't open until 8:30pm. Very disappointed, I hate it when restaurants do this, why are you "open" when the kitchen is closed? Sit there for the ambience? We went to Menya Musashi Tsukemen instead. read more
