"Ramen-Ya Teinei is where you'll find the best ramen in Seattle. After cutting sushi from the ramen-and-sushi menu in early 2023, the cozy restaurant's new focus is strictly ramen—from spicy tonkotsu broth that lights up with fiery chili oil to a duck-based version with perfect richness and salt content that shines when slurped by itself but also doesn't get in the way of chewy noodles and melty chasu. We love a glow-up, and Teinei nails it. On the side, there are tasty appetizers that include but are not limited to homemade pork or chicken gyoza complete with a nice crust and a dipping sauce that brings those juicy morsels to life. Use Teinei for a solo meal, quiet date at the bar while sipping pineapple whisky sours and watching anime on TV, or pile in with coworkers at lunch on a chilly day. In other words, it's a winner for all occasions." - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
