"This Japanese import in U Village is one of the finest dedicated ramen shop in the Seattle area, with another location in Bellevue to satisfy Eastsiders. Santouka serves only tonkotsu broth, full of creamy, porky flavor due to its extended cooking time. The shio ramen has just the right level of salt seasoning to let the pork flavor of the broth shine, and it’s the only ramen served with pickled plum. For those leery of soup during warm weather, try the tsukemen, which allows diners to dip the thick noodles in a slightly cooler soup on the side, or a delicious, broth-less mazeman." - Jay Friedman
