"Hokkaido is a ramen chain that started in Japan, and somehow made its way to Bellevue - with good reason. On a cold day (because of weather or air-conditioning) at work in your soul-crushing windowless office, a bowl of their miso ramen with tender pork and a side of pan-fried gyoza is exactly what you need. This is a great place for a solo meal or a round of chicken karaage in a booth with some friends." - aimee rizzo
