Very thin slice of pork belly. Soup flavor was pretty good. Karaage was good (tell them to put mayo on the side if you don't like mayo). Service was really fast. It's a convenient location with lots of parking. The ramen was fine, but I probably wouldn't be back because of the very very thin slices of pork belly and so the value wasn't there. read more

This is my second time trying ramen, the first was underwhelming. This time it was also underwhelming. It could have been that I don't know what ramen is supposed to taste like, or that I also ordered the black garlic flavor. There were only a few people on the restaurant, it was quiet and relaxing. I was waited on promptly after sitting. I ordered the hot tea, egg rolls and the black garlic ramen. The egg rolls were okay, they almost seemed like they were the frozen pork egg rolls. I love egg rolls in general anyways. I'm not exactly sure what the black garlic ramen is supposed to taste like. But it wasn't a garlic flavor. I do like the chewy ramen noodles , and the pork fell apart in my mouth. The pork was delicious. I would try this place again, and I'll order the original ramen and start from there. read more

Was sat right away- friendly and attentive service. We both ordered the spicy tantan ramen with extra eggs. Noodles were cooked to perfection, but for me, a little oily. Very chill atmosphere and clean. read more

I love this place! The udon is especially good! Husband likes the curry udon. We've been here several times and we always say, "We should come here more often." The place is small and cozy. It has a very quiet almost zen like atmosphere. There's soft jazz playing in the background. Service is always good, in fact the same lady is always working there. She's always there. Always pleasant. We always come back. read more

My experience here was really good. The chicken karage and the Udon Ramen both were really good with very fine tasting broth. I also tried a hot sake. I felt that was pretty average. The ambience of the place is good and the service was reasonably fast. read more

We were in the area when we started thinking about dinner. Izakaya always catches my attention, so I opted to try Yua Ramen, especially with their generally good ratings and okonomiyaki on the menu, which is an unusual menu item in our area. The place was quite packed when we arrived but scored a table quickly. I noticed the turnaround is quite fast. That's always good. Service is swift and no fuss. The restaurant looked clean and pleasantly decorated. The Food: Black Garlic Miso Ramen, $14.89 + $2 for seasoned egg - 4.5 Stars Shoyu Ramen, $13.59 - 4.5 Stars Their ramen is their strength. The broth of both ramens is just right. The garlic miso is aromatic and fantastically comforting. The shoyu broth is a comfortable and homey broth. The noodles are fresh with a good chew. The meat/chashu is on the fatty side, not a lot of meat. The seasoned egg is good. I would eat here again for the ramen. But I would not purposely drive here for the ramen. There are better places elsewhere. Okonomiyaki, $10.59 - 0 Star This dish is puzzling. It's fat (thick) and yet small (diameter), maybe 4". It looks properly seared on the outsides, but the insides are a bit squishy, possibly a wee under-cooked. It's also odd that it seems to have lettuce instead of cabbage in it. The veggies are mushier than I expected. It should be flatter, pressed, so each bite/wedge can at least hold its shape, with a slight crisp to it. None of that is true. Other than looking 'about right', nothing else is right about this dish. Zero star. Never again. read more

The Ramen here is amazing! Temperature, noodles, and ingredients are all fantastic! The apps are tasty! The combos you can get with your ramen are great choices as well as the add ons. The green tea has a great price and the cup is about 4-5 inches tall and comes with refills if you would like. The service is friendly and fast. The food can come out as fast as 5-8 min. Come on! That's is fast, granted it's soup!!! But still fast! The ambiance feel to this place is warm, can be quiet if you come in when they first open but even though it gets busy, it's still has a nice Asian ambiance! One of our favorite places when we come to Edmonds. Thank you and we will be back and back and back!!! read more

My family stumbled into Yua for a late 3:15p lunch on a Friday. We had the dedicated attention of a host who gave off a vibe of being one of the owners. Our dishes were timed properly - we never waited too long for anything - and we were sat right away. A couple showed up to dine in around 3:45p. The edamame preparation was simple, but tasty: steamed and salted, it was easy to devour. All of our party opted for ramen variants with thin noodles, which the menu calls out separately from thick noodles. I wish I had enjoyed my green curry ramen more. I've never seen this on a menu and I was feeling adventurous. The chicken broth had a strong allium flavor and didn't have the umami to back it up. On top of that, my noodles were definitely thin. I prefer a bit more chew, so if I went back I'd focus on the thick noodles. That said, we ate literally everything we ordered. read more

Solid ramen up at Edmonds, service is standard. Small little place good vibes. But down side for this is that the chashu/pork belly was pretty thin for me and it's only one slice. Portion was ok for the price. read more

We decided to try this restaurant again. The honey garlic karaage was very good. It was moist and tasty. We would get that again. Our daughter really enjoyed the udon dish which was nice. We also got the black garlic ramen but felt that this was too garlic-y and it overpowered any other flavor in the bowl. We will probably want to try again in the future and just try another ramen bowl. The service was very friendly. read more

Good: broth-savory and very flavorful. It's nice and silky. I love the crunch and I can bite into the noodles-not overly cooked. The size is also just the perfect size for me. Bad: the slice of the pork is as thin as bacon. It could get a little thicker-as in-more meat please. Prices are reasonable. I can recommend this place. I'd like to try their Yakisoba next time. Plenty of parking and located next to the Ranch 99 market. read more

After visiting shopping for groceries, we saw Yua Ramen in the same plaza and decided to stop by for lunch. It wasn't too crowded at the time and we got seated immediately. The food came out fast and soon we were digging into our bowls. Black Garlic Miso ($14.89) - The broth in this ramen exhibits quite a strong umami from the miso that comes through very well. It's not as well salted as a lot of other ramen broths I've had. I feel like the tonkotsu broth is a little thinner and missing a bit of unctuous, fatty, foamy elements that come from well rendered pork bones. The noodles are described as "thick" but they are more akin to spaghetti in thickness, rather than the more well known curly ramen. They still exhibit a nice bite and chew. The toppings include bean sprouts that are cooked down a bit to decrease the amount of crunch, fresh green onions, fried onions that add a nice crunch and quite a bit of sweetness, and a perfectly cooked piece of chashu. The chashu literally falls apart, first splitting into strips, then into even smaller pieces very easily. So tender and delicious, with a good amount of fat to amp up the heaviness of the dish just a tad. There's also half of a marinated egg, with a yolk that's set a bit past the jammy phase. (4/5) YUA Ramen ($15.59) - The broth flavor is nice. It's a bit sharper than the Black Garlic Miso, with a more of a gingery bite. I'm sure the marinade for the ground pork also contributes to the taste. The pork is generally tender, almost silky, with a nice pork flavor that's a bit sweet. The noodles included are of a thinner variety, similar in size to somen. I feel like they cook the noodles the same amount as the thicker noodles, so they do get quite a bit softer with much less of a bite. The toppings include bamboo shoot that adds a somewhat tangy, stinky quality (I do not say stinky in a negative way), a sheet of nori, and the same bean sprouts, egg, green onions, and cha shu as with the other ramen. (4/5) Overall the ramen at Yua Ramen is good enough. It's not top tier, but I think it will satisfy any ramen itch. I wouldn't mind visiting again when I'm in the area. read more

Yua Ramen in Edmonds WA is an authentic gem where they whip up broths so rich and noodles so springy, you'll be saying "konnichiwa" to flavor explosions in every bite. We tried their Black Garlic Miso and Spicy Tantan, the intense flavor without being salty is truly a great ramen experience! The lady who serves and does almost everything is super nice and attentive to guests. Even though the restaurant is small but the layout really works and we had plenty of space to enjoy our food.

So much nicer than the outside appearance! It's easy to dismiss this place when walking along the outside. But don't let that fool ya. This place is legit! The setting is so relaxing and chill. Clean. Artwork is clean and interesting. Menu isn't filled with an insane amount of choices, but enough choices to make a decision more challenging. I ordered the Tonkatsu. The ramen tasted like it was homemade. Broth was amazing and not too salty. Medium boiled egg was balanced with seasoning and flavorful. Wifey ordered the Tofu fried rice and she ate her food faster than I did. I had a few bites and loved it! Not oily. Not salty. It was like...healthy and hearty without leaving you overstuffed. The proportions seem a bit on the smaller side of what most places will kick out. But honestly...I'm okay paying the price for quality over quantity. They had me understanding why quality can make one respect the dish. I feel like everything really tied in together from environment to content. Even the restrooms were nice! Yes I will come back and bring anyone with me! read more

I got the spicy miso tonkatsu ramen with thin noodles and it was very tasty! A flavorful and complex broth with just the right about of spice to clear your sinuses. A generous amount of noodles in the bowl as well! It's also a pleasant dining experience with nice artwork on the walls and smooth jazz playing in the background. I'll definitely be back! [UPDATE] My wife and I came back today and I ordered the Black Garlic Miso ramen and she got the Green Curry ramen. Both were delicious! I also got the 6-piece gyoza but got it pan-fried instead of deep fried by asking. Excellent too! This is now one of our favorite places in Edmonds. read more

Not the best ramen I've had, but it will do. I don't think there are many ramen spots in the area. My favorites here are the udon with shrimp tempura. I'm not a fan of their eggrolls. The takoyaki is pretty good too. It's a small space with intimate lighting and soft music playing in the background. The staff are always nice and food comes out quickly. There is no bar, but there are a few sake, wine, and beer choices. I don't feel that their prices are too bad here for what you get. I will say that the bowls seem a little small, but they are deep and you get just enough. I believe that you can order extra noodles is you want. It's a nice and decent ramen spot. read more

Got delivery so I can't comment on ambiance or service much, but it traveled pretty well from Edmonds to SLU. I got veggie ramen for me which was decently flavorful. It did come with an egg already so I got an extra when I added it in because it was not in the picture or description. I'm ok with that but heads up for any vegan folks. The veggie broth was decently flavorful too. Got my partner the tonkotsu fried rice and he also enjoyed it and it traveled well. The packaging was good because they put the broth separate from the ramen contents so it didn't get soggy which was great! read more

Second time going here after about a year. I am so glad I was reminded of this place for ramen. it would be my go to for Ramen if I lived closer. I have no complaints. Everything was above average regarding flavor, value, and service. What is also pleasant is that it hasn't ever been loud or busy, which is perfectly fine with me. I would suggest this little hole in the wall for a date night or catching up with a friend. read more

Yua Ramen - Chicken Karaage with a side of rice - Ramen Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

Tried when they first opened and weren't quite pleased so didn't go back for the longest time. However, craving ramen we ordered some takeout as we live close. Don't think much has changed but there aren't too many super ramen places around here. Have to go down to Seattle for better places but those do set some higher expectations and comparisons. Ultimately, portions aren't the best and you'll want to order two entrees or get more food somewhere else. Spicy Tantan Men comes with ground beef which is unique for ramen in our experience. Noodles felt pretty basic, basically instant ramen. Broth was whatever, not too strong or flavorful but not overly watery. Portion size pretty small though. Katsudon has some sweetness to it through the onions and sauce but the end result is mainly sweet rice and some dry meat. Isn't something I'd order again personally. read more

I love ramen so much, and I usually end up a little disappointed when I go out to eat at ramen places, not today though. Yua was amazing. I loved that they offered a kids ramen (for $11 it comes with a side salad and Karaage). My husband got the Black garlic and I got the spicy. Both were really flavorful. Service was as expected and appreciated the prompt water refills! It's such a cute place, love the art on the walls. read more

Every time I've been to Yua, it has been a fantastic experience. They have the best ramen in the area. Their location has ample parking, is always very clean, and staffed with very nice, very thoughtful staff. Iljun is always amazing, one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Her attention to detail is fantastic and she's so sweet that it's impossible to be in a bad mood there. The food is always delicious and in all of my trips there, I've never had a bad dish or bad experience. The vibe there is great and they are usually playing soft jazz or piano music. I live further away now, but I will go out of my way to go to Yua. I wish I could give them 6 stars! read more

Cute little restaurant next to the Asian supermarket. Super quiet when I walked in looks real pretty in there. Love the cute like pics of all things Japanese on the wall on the right. Sat down right away and took my order. Just had the black garlic miso ramen. And the takoyaki. Ramen was delicious and Flavorful. Garlic was strong . Takoyaki was more bite size than I'm used to. But still good. Looking forward to stopping by again and trying out the other ramens on the menu. read more

Yua Ramen - 1. Shoyu Tonkotsu - Ramen Near Me - Edmonds, Washington

I was in Seattle for the weekend and wanted to eat ramen in the rainy weather. Tried this Ramen place and when I was reading the menu, a lot of their broths are soy sauce, salt, or miso based, not the typical pork bone broth. I got the Black Garlic Miso without onions. They give you a whole egg but it's not the soy sauce marinated egg & only 1 piece of chashu The ramen didn't really stand out to me. The server was very straight forward and blunt too. They also literally charge for everything, hot tea, and the spicy paste & they give you only like a tablespoon of. There is plenty of parking as it is in a plaza with 99 ranch and other stores. I was scared that there was going to be a wait but there was only 1 other party in the restaurant. read more
