Reviews for Setsunai in Lopez Island, WA
We had the smoked pork udon with shiitake as a take out order. Nate took our order and he had a great vibe with all the... customers working his way happily from table to table. The food was packaged well and made it home safely. The noodle bowl wastop notch with fat noodles; my favorite part was the locally smoked pork belly and the onsen egg. Really a fantastic meal!

The place was great, had the feel of a lovely, small community. The staff was very friendly — greeting families and... solo-eaters alike. Our server, Owen, was quite friendly, contributing to our wonderful experience. The food was presentedexquisitely yet somehow tasted even better. I had the locally farmed beef udon bowl, and it was cooked to perfection. My friendenjoyed his meal as well. I would definitely come again! Read more
chef was kind enough to accommodate our group pretty last minute as it was one of the only restaurants open on the island and... looked so good!! the setup was intriguing and the ramen i got (smoked pork shoyu) did not disappoint. my friends got the udonwhich was equally delicious, and it was nice to know the ingredients were sourced locally. perfectly soft eggs, tasty vegetablesand crispy pork in a warm yet refreshing broth was a perfect way to end our day trip to the island.

We ate here twice, the first for a sourdough pancake breakfast and again the next day for the ramen. If i had to describe the... food in three words, it would be distinctive, deliberate, and delicious. The pancakes were savory with scallions and served witha sauce not unlike okonomiyaki sauce. The ramen consisted of handmade whole grain noodles with a light but warming broth. Bothdishes came with local greens, eggs, pickled onion, and pork belly, which was magnificently marinated and had just the perfectamount of crispness on the edges, while the fat melted in your mouth and the meat remained tender. And the pickled shitake -never before have I seen pickled shitake in my life and if there was a perfect way to prepare that, it was here. The ramen wasabsolutely different from the typical bowl, but its distinctiveness will surely keep in your memory, with its deliberateselection of local ingredients, and above all, it was delicious.

Deeply enjoyed their savory sourdough pancake breakfast. So much intentionality and thoughtfulness around preparation and... sourcing of ingredients. Incredible people and chef. Went back to try their awesome beer selection. Grateful to have visited andexcited to go back soon. Read more
I love how this restaurant is using homemade noodles and udon! It is not often that I find restaurants that use local fresh... ingredients. Sustainable and tasty! Amazingly cooked meat! My one critique is that my noodles were a tad over cooked and mysoup was not quite hot enough. I would have preferred a harder cooked noodle. I also found the online ordering system a bittroublesome with the limited cell service on Lopez. Read more
