Betsutenjin Ramen

"My hakata ramen was average at best due to the flavor of the broth, gyoza and the chasu. Noodles were on the firm side. The sign in front of the table seats said they had thick flavor if you wanted it. If I knew it was going to be that bland, then I would have asked for that option. As for the chasu, it was fatty and slightly charred on the edge to give it some burnt flavor if you like that. One of the pieces was a bit cold also so I had to dip it in the broth. We got there around 6pm and they didn't have any tea or eggs for some reason. Very strange considering they open at 5:30pm. They did offer to substitute it for more gyoza or extra meat so that was nice. The gyoza lacked the flavors I expected in terms of salt. They were slightly crisp on the outside and warm so that was good."

"This place is amazing, the Ramen is super tasty! They have 2 Ramens to choose from and you have the option to add any toppings or you can buy the Ramen with the sides. They have a wide range of alcoholic beverages and some non alcoholic drinks but unfortunately when I went They were all out. I recommend this place alot if you like Ramen"

"Similar atmosphere like Japan. The food selection is limited, but they carry a lot of different Japanese drinks. Overall, it is not bad to give a try if you haven't been to Japan."

"Came here for Sunday lunch while I was running errands in cap hill area. Underwhelming and I would have been more disappointed if I made my here just to try the noodles here. They have a simple, small and straightforward menu, and they only have three ramen noodles option. We ordered Prawn Miso Ramen Set Plus lobster salad. The Lobster salad is chill and probably didn't take out from the fridge too long ago, so I can still taste some ice in it. Also the portion is mini ( FYI, I see a review says the portion is same if you just buy it individually). The noodle's texture is good! But the soup base is nothing related to prawn. While I was eating, I was even thinking of: if I just put bunch of prawns in water to boil, at least I can get a pot of fishy smell&taste water, but really the soup was bland and watery. Only two small pieces of pork came with the noodle. The restaurant is very small, probably only two tables ( for 4 people) and 3 bar stools. During my dining experience, I didn't not receive any other service than the waitress brought noodles to our table."

"One of the best ramen that I’ve had in Seattle and the experience was unique even among all the ramen spots in Seattle! I recommend the hakata style ramen and remember to put the extra spices in that are available on your table. The restaurant itself is very small, intimate, and private at the same time. Highly recommend Betsutenjin to everyone! Food I got the hakata style ramen and loved it. The broth is pork bone broth. It is clean, rich, not oily, not salty, and delicious. I would add in the spices available on the table to customize the broth to how you like it. The ramen noodles were also really good and firm so that you can slurp them right up. The meat on top was fatty enough and just enhanced the dish overall. I definitely want to come back here and try the other ramens on the menu as well since I loved my first time so much. The menu is limited and they do the few dishes very, very well. We also got potstickers for the table and I loved how the bottoms were so crispy. The soy sauce is so random because it’s just packet soy sauce. Atmosphere Casual, laid back ambiance that is very private for your party. There is a curtain that blocks off your table from the rest of the restaurant and gives you lots of privacy and helps block out noise. The table itself feels very intimate though. It is a unique dining experience and I can imagine that people eat ramen like this in Japan. Pricing Ramen prices are also very reasonable for the quality of ramen that you get. Prices are comparable, maybe lightly more depending on what dish you get, to other ramen spots. The food and experience is very worth the price you pay. Service Service was good. When you first enter, you put in your order at the window and then they bring your food out to your table. The staff was friendly and helpful in answering any questions. Other The restaurant is pretty small so there can be a long wait so be prepared for that."
