Reviews for Silverlake Ramen in Kirkland, WA
We ordered truffle garlic ramen with tofu. It was good but it wasn?t ramen. The truffle and garlic taste was very subtle. The... broth was creamy, rich and flavourful like a mushroom soup. Felt like a comfort food. I liked it but it was not what I came for. Read more
1) Staff Professionality - 7.5/10 I mean, the ajumas there serving and taking orders are pretty sweet and all but one younger... male server was pretty rude.. it wasn?t a busy time and we were still eating and enjoying our bowls.. he dishes up the bill andhovered a bit before coming back to grab the credit card to bring to the machine. I?m all for if it was super busy and peoplewere waiting for seats and such that you do this kind of gesture but when it?s past the lunch rush hour.. you absolutely do notrush people when they?re trying to eat. I eat pretty fast but not as fast when being hustled. 2) Interior Atmosphere -9/10 Pretty standard, love the open spaces and high ceiling (decor and lighting are fab too!) very modern yet futurist feelingwith some of the lighting choices. 3) Menu Choices - 9/10 I mean, keeping it simple isn?t a bad thing! Less humming and ha-ingwhen trying to pick a dish to chow on. Less is better! Simple and to the point :) 4) Food Quality vs Pricing - 9.5/10 I thinkfor the portion and the intricacy of each of the bowls of ramen, it?s not too bad! We ordered The Blaze (Tonkotsu Spicy), Shoyuon Fire (?) and the Truffle ramen and enjoyed all of it ???? Rich in flavour! However? 0.75 for chili paste? Hmmm slightlybuzzkill. I could?ve ordered an extra spicy ramen bowl then split the chili paste with the other two bowl instead of that. Manyramen places I?ve been to have the chili paste on the side for people to add to their pleasure/palate? definitely shocked whenthis was the case ??????????? I guess to each their own? Would I come back again? Of course! Maybe just avoid the same maleserver and not order the chili paste by accident?? Read more
Had the Blaze/ Pork. Creamy broth, but lacking a little bit of that umami kick(maybe too low on sodium). The egg was cooked... right but was also just a little light on flavor. The noodles wasn't as chewy as I like but not bad. Mom loved it, wife didn't,my daughter didn't complain(good sign) so the opinions were all over the board. Everyone loved the creamy broccolini though. Imay or may not go back but it is worth a visit. Read more

Very comfortable environment and professional. LOTS of lighting. Great ramen. Their menu is minimalistic and delicious so you... won?t be exhausted from looking at it and wondering what to get. I love this place great sizing and accurate spiciness levels.Recommend. Read more
Superb place, nice ambience and centrally located at the Village in Totem lake. Ordered in Crispy Chicken Karaage and The Shoyu... on Fire (extra spicy) and absolutely loved both the dishes. Pretty good portion size and super filling. Have always been toJinya ramen before but this place has my heart and would definitely go again. If had an option of Shoyu on Fire with ChickenKaraage in it, that would have brownie points from me and would be absolutely delicious; considering I?m a big time foodie forfried chicken options.

Great food, nice atmosphere. I loved the pork bun. The pork belly worked great with green scallions & pickled onions. Also, both... ramen bowls (Shoyu On Fire and Garlic Truffle) we ordered were tasty. Chewy noodles wrapped with delicious broth. I highlyrecommend adding the Ghost Pepper Kimchi as a side to go with the noodles. That said, I think this restaurant should consideradding more veggies to make their dishes more balanced and nutritious. Read more
A must visit for ramen! I went recently and their menu is getting updated. Many things are "coming soon". Food was delicious as... always! Plenty of free parking in the area. There is a parking garage along with a parking lot. Everyone I went with enjoytheir food. I got the classic. The truffle one is good too. The broth here is full of flavor. I drink it all.The pork they usein the ramen is yummy. It is not as fatty as most places! Compared to Kizuki, I like this place more. The ramen comes withstraight noodles that have a good texture?right amount of chewiness) Their menu has a variety of choices like poke bowls and asection for those who follow a plant based diet. This place would be good for a large group. It gets pretty busy so comeearlier. Avoid sitting near the door( or the section infront of thr door) as the door brings in strong cold air. Best to sitfurther in where they cook. They have two single stall "gender " restrooms. The day I went the women's restroom was out ofservice so used the men. In general would say gender neutral bathrooms. Service here has always been like 3.5 stars. Read more
