Ramen Hood

We got the classic ramen, we got the tonkatsu, Shrimp tempura shoyu ramen & the angry chicken. The Tonkatsu was alright. The Shoyu ramen was cold and tasted like water with soy sauce. The angry chicken had no flavor it was just spicy water with some sort of sweetness ? It was disgusting my sister had to puke after trying to eat it... We also got the Gyozas but they weren’t good at all. I, myself make better Gyozas and they come out way better.. the staff was alright only one of the ladies helped us by re-warming the ramen bc it was cold when served. Aside from that the food is just not worth the price. Overpriced and under flavored. 1/10 would NOT recommend to a friend. Also idk where all these positive reviews are coming from. This place is disgusting.

First time at Ramen Hood and loved it, from the cleanliness of place, to the food itself. The service was fast and loved the 'build your own bowl' experience. Def recommend this place if you are looking for fast and yummy but also not your ord fast food place 🥰

RamenHood is quick and easy. I like ordering from the computer. Not the most delicious in all the land but very good and a great location!

I am giving Ramen Hood a 3/5 because while the food was incredible, the service was truly horrendous. My husband and I decided to go here for the first time and were super excited. Loved the concept of choosing your food via tablet as you walk in and then giving your receipt to the staff to pay. Very similar to how its done in Japan. The guy at the register was very standoffish and rude. I went to hand him my card and when he swiped he looked directly at me and handed my card back to my husband instead. That was just super weird. I paid for a seasoned egg in my ramen and did not get mine, but my husband got his. I showed the guy the picture of my ramen at the register as proof and he just smirked and didn't say anything. I did get refunded for the $2 but still, he was incredibly rude and not apologetic. When we did get our food, my husband walked back up to the register to ask about ramen spoons and he was told "we only have 8 of them and they are all dirty." How does a ramen shop only have 8 ramen spoons in the entire restaurant?! Secondly, you guys couldn't be bothered to provide good customer service and wash them for other customers to use? Needless to say, while the food was truly incredible, we will not be returning due to rhe lack of customer service and truly rude staff. To any management who reads these reviews, please button up your SOPs and re-train your staff to provide better customer service. And maybe have more than 8 ramen spoons for broth in your restaurant.

Very tasty food. It would be nice to have more vegetarian broth options. The spicy miso is too spicy. Regardless, it's a satisfying meal. Not much atmosphere; it's an eatery, not a restaurant. All that said, we go there frequently. Went back tonight... As good as always except maybe a bit too salty, but nothing that'll stop us from frequenting it

My first visit to a Ramen joint. There are two ordering kiosks right as you walk in. The ordering process was pretty easy, even for a Ramen rookie. We opted to create our own bowls. There were different broth and protein options and a lot of topping options to choose from. The results were fantastic. Very fresh ingredients and the broths were very rich and flavorful. The portions are very generous, it's a lot of food. Splitting an order may be a good option for some. They will give you containers to take any leftovers home. The staff was very pleasant. A quaint and casual environment nicely accented to give it a cultural feel. It was a good experience. I will say, for a bowl of soup, it's on the expensive side. With a drink, it was near $20 a person. If you get two servings out of that, it's a good deal. I'll definitely return.

I was in the area for a business meeting and when I finished a customer/friend suggested trying this place. Since the temperature outside was 110° outside my mind works odd at times and I thought okay let's go have some noodles and hot broth. Lol. I guess several other people had the idea to have ramen noodles and broth also. I ordered the noodles with teriyaki chicken Ginger and onions can't remember which one was pickled. Also got some cilantro. This broth head several layers of flavor. I highly suggest adding many extras in that broth. The teriyaki chicken was good too but I ate all that and scraped up all that broth. Since I didn't want to get too hot I just blew on the spoon to cool it and it cool down pretty quick. Oh yeah and I definitely recommend the soft boiled egg that had some nice flavor to it. My friend ordered an appetizer for us can't remember the name it was a dumpling it was very good. When you walk in the door there's two tablets to order your meal. The atmosphere was average but it was okay The food was awesome.

Loved the atmosphere and the service. I like how you order off a tablet and the server brings you the food. I wish the broth was a little bit more flavorful, but overall a yummy spot for a quick bite.

Came here for the first time on cold and rainy day. It was perfect weather for ramen noodles for sure. I had angry chicken and it was super delicious ! I loved that the chicken was well marinated and cooked just perfect. I also loved the broth, it was so delicious. I want more ramen! Thank you.

Because I'm not a ramen person, I'm not sure if I just don't get it or I need to try more ramen places... I like restaurant itself, decent seating, fun art, I thought it was weird that you order on a kiosk and then finish with a person. My coworker and I came for lunch and shared the edamame and she is vegan and had lots of options here! I am not vegan and I had the teriyaki chicken build your own bowl and it was fine. My chicken could have been better, it was a bit chewy. My coworker made the comment that she wished there was chili oil and so do it! It was also a hot, April day so maybe I need to come when it's chilly outside. This is my second time eating at Ramen Hood since 2020 - so I'll have to try another combo another time. The parking near this restaurant is terrible, too! But overall, it's worth a shot!

Cute interior and accomodating for people with dietary restrictions. I was disappointed with the actual food though. It seemed quickly made with no love in it. Very americanized ramen.

Have always enjoyed stopping in when I've been nearby. The menu has changed and now the chicken is a teriyaki chicken. This change has definitely bumped this restaurant from my list. Service is still amazing and the easy going dining area is still the same. Broth and vegetables are still fantastic, if you're opting out of a meat choice then I would still recommend giving it a try.

It was ok. But over priced and the noodles were over cooked . The gyoza was delicious on the other hand. I had to help a lady order her food because she had problems using the kiosk to order. There is no one there to help or take orders another way. I liked the mural on the wall. But when I posted the picture on Facebook, I asked the question, "How can I tell a non-Asian did this?" And of course, it's the chopsticks. No self respecting Asian would dare hold them that way. It was busy, and my sister thought hers was good . If I went back, it would just be for the gyoza.

Don't waste you time here, had the ramen soup extremely salty as is the chicken hence the rating! It was so salty I gave it back they didn't even care they said it's already pre made. Their customer service is 0, tables are sticky as well!

Poor employee training and customer service. I do not recommend for families with children.

Tables were sticky, ramen came out lukewarm, broth overly salty. The teriyaki chicken was so salty it wasn't edible. Broth didn't have much flavor. Just salty. Not coming back for sure.

Been here a couple of times and it is such a chill place to eat! Food is delicious, staff is laid back and nice, place is clean. Definitely recommend this place!

'Design' your own ramen! Casual 'fast' dining ramen chain. Love the idea, love the food. Would love to see ramen hood in all metro cities!

We just came back from Japan and like how the set up here reminds us of the restaurants there, they have individual booths to eat and a self-order kiosk that allows customization. The quantity of the food given and the large amount of generous toppings made us really happy, char siu was tender. I personally like the noodles even if predone, very egg noodle like to me. I would have to agree with the others though in that the broth is not the best, but decent. Overall, a great pic for when you're especially hungry C:

Do you know how it is to find GF ramen?!? Extremely lol I opted for a build your own. It's honestly just nice to be able to pick and choose what you want in ur ramen. Which is amazing. So the noodles the broth are amazing.i loaded up on the veggies got some pork as well. I'm going to make this a regular spot for me to go to from here on out

I enjoyed this ramen my son and I both did a custom. The spicy miso broth was not my favorite to be honest but still edible just a different taste. I got the teriyaki chicken. Which was good but after eating realized I didn't enjoy it with my ramen and should have done pork. Everything else in my ramen was delicious. My son did similarly but got the pork and loved it. The guyozas I did enjoy we got 6 and they were delicious. Overall I did enjoy my experienc e

I was so hungry & this place smelled so good. When you enter, you're greeted by the general menu on a wall & then you have the kiosks to generate your order & then go to checkout. I wish they had the description of what the broths were on the wall or the order kiosk. Pretty sure I guessed on the broth. No veggies. Gluten free noodles. Pork for protein. Gyoza for my friend. Order to go & off I went. I appreciated the broth was separate from the noodles. I think it's a gluten free thing but the noodles were pretty much one lump of noodles. I'm glad I don't live far from this place to get this to go. The broth was pretty good & I probably should have kept the broth separate. I didn't enjoy the noodles. I was disappointed the protein portion was so small. The gyoza was very disappointing as it is clearly burnt or if you want to view it another way, very crisp. Ignoring the bottom portion of the gyoza, they were very small portions but the stuffing was pretty good. Overall, not somewhere I'd come back but I can see the potential for the draw. It's simply not for me.

Super disappointing the last two times I have been here and I get my Ramen bowl with chicken. The chicken is so fatty you cannot even chew it. I only get onion and cilantro and two eggs. I asked them to please give me extra onion and cilantro green onion that is and they do not so the bowl is not to my standards. The noodles are always good and the broth is good, but the amount of toppings is terrible not to mention the chicken being tasteless and fatty. Again used to be one of my favorite places, but will not be returning.

I visited here a while back and forgot to write a review. This isn't super recent so maybe things have gotten better, but this was just not good. My husband and I both ordered the spicy miso with different added toppings. It was not good. We both could only eat a few bites and just felt like it was poor ingredients, the broth was bland and didn't even toast much like spicy miso. The Karage appetizer was also not good. It was lukewarm. The Gyoza appetizer was Ok. Idk if it was just an off day but we won't be back. The service and ambiance was just whatever too. Nothing to write home about.

Went in ordered at a tablet that lets you customize your order. Bring receipt and pay at the counter and your printed ticket is used to make your order. Was fast simple and the food was good. Compared to places that just have ramen on the menu this place specializing in it and doing it well, was good to me. Worth coming back to and trying out for first time people. 6/22/2025 :)

Ramen Hood hits the spot every time I'm craving some nice warm ramen. The restaurant itself is generally quiet and usually empty whenever I have been there but the food quality is always on par. The only issue I've had in the past is the broth coming out room temp instead of piping hot like I like it. Otherwise, definitely try the spicy miso broth! Delicious!

Delivery: The Ramen at Ramen Hood is adequate... nothing to write home about, but decent. The biggest issue is the meat... The pork they include is basically raw bacon. It's quite nasty - best to remove and toss it in the trash. Ramen restaurants that produce a higher quality / more authentic product use a thicker cut of pork (from a different part of the animal) so it's never slimy. Hood also ignores requests to include hot chili oil and garlic oil when ordering via app or delivery, no matter how you go about making sure they are included on the original order. They also don't pack the liquid portion of the order very carefully, despite using a ton of plastic. Seems like there's always something dripping by the time it gets to you. All that said, it's an enjoyable bowl of Ramen if you doctor it up a little when it arrives, and I've certainly had worse. Last note: the gyoza is hauntingly similar to what you get from a pack of frozen tossed in the microwave. Not worth the $8.

First time here while on vacation. Hubby and I wanted something light to share before going to the airport. Our Ramen Pho was perfect to share! Lots of noodles, veggies,chicken and a delicious broth with a egg was the perfect dish! Employees were friendly and seating was comfortable!

Very disappointing establishment. Ramen lacked flavor and was barely better then a Cup of Noodles. Restaurant staff were despicable individuals. I was at this restaurant on January 10, 2023 around 4:00pm. Another customer sitting next to me had a heart attack. My partner and I immediately called 911 and provided CPR and aid to the customer. During this time, the entire staff gathered in the corner, starring at the entire situation, but NEVER ONCE asked how they could help or to even try to call 911. I hope James Xie, owner of this place, reads this review and discipline his pathetic staff.

This spot is great for a simple, casual, low key, straight to the point meal. Unlike other ramen shops in the Valley, this place lets you build and customize your own ramen bowl down to which protein and vegetables you want. What really surprised me was that they offer quite a few topping options that aren't usually found at other ramen places. They even have a gluten free noodle option! However, I did find their broth to be a little on the blander side. But I would say that this place is a great way to introduce kids to (non-instant) ramen since it's so customizable and can be adjusted to any taste palette which usually isn't common for ramen places.

3.5 stars. We came here and it was definitely different than other ramen places since you order your food by yourself on a tablet. Once you've paid, your number will be called and you can bring your food to your table. We ordered the Gyoza ($7) and I ordered The Classic ($13). I don't remember what everybody else ordered. We waited a few minutes before the food was ready. The Gyoza was not bad to me. The Classic was okay and the broth tasted like some of the other restaurants. The portion was enough for one person and I would pick any of those if you're not sure. Ramen Hood was okay to me and I wouldn't mind coming back.

If you check out my profile you'll see I try to abstain from leaving negative reviews. I was REALLY disappointed with Ramen Hood. For those of you who understand ANYTHING about this original Japanese dish - I wouldn't return. Positive things first. The service was great. The boys were positive and helpful. The food came out quickly and in general, the individual toppings were of really good quality. Bamboo shoots, spring onions, corn and even the marinated eggs. I was really disappointed about the broth. I ordered tonkotsu. It had like 0 flavor. It wasn't even a little salty. The chashu pork was not marinated. And even though it was super tender, it lacked any kind of seasoning, including the tiniest amount of salt. And then - the noodles. They, of course, made the beginner mistake of putting cold precooked noodles into the broth so my ramen wasn't served at nearly the temperature it should be. I could forgive them that but then the consistency of noodles - it's not that they weren't somewhat chewy. I've tasted FLOUR while chewing them. Honestly, I forced myself to eat more than I wanted. And I truly looked forward to a nice bowl of Tonkotsu Ramen. The ambient and/or concept is what it is. They make you create your own ramen on a computer. And while you can order a couple of "chef creations" I was sad to not have found any of the typical ones (like garlic tonkotsu ramen etc.). You can compose them on your own, but unless you are a ramen expert it'll be tough to create a really good ramen. You'll just end up with some type of a DIY noodle soup. And for those of you/us who know a thing or three about ramen - I am so disappointed. Otherwise the place was clean. This does not deserve three stars. Sorry. :(

The chicken was not cooked, forgot several items on our order and our order was wrong when we got there. We are taking a break from this place.

Dirty restaurant, awful food. Don't do it. Life's too short. Chicken was fatty, gyoza was flavorless

For carry out. Ordered online. Ordered extra noodles and meat. Did not get either. The chasu is basically fat. There is no meat. The broth was bland. Would not come here again.

This place is consistent, flavorful and quick. This time I decided to dine-in, typically I take my food to go which they place all toppings and noodles in various containers so you can fix the ramen at home. But when you walk in you are able to order your food at the kiosk and then pay at the register with the workers. My food was ready in 10 minutes. The fastest I've ever received it. I ordered the build your own bowl with chicken, jalapeños, bean sprouts, cilantro, carrots, green onions. SO DELICIOUS.

We have loved Ramen Hood for years! The staff is always great and it was a go to during the pandemic. Food has always been hot and fresh when we've picked up for takeout. My only suggestion- Please bring back the terriyaki chicken as an option! The new fried chicken is very soggy in the broth and not nearly as good or as healthy as the terriyaki chicken.

After years of imprisonment forced upon me by my enemies, I woke from another sleepless day and tumultuous night. A hunger within, I craved even the island cuisine of Le Chateau d'if off Marseilles. Truly the prayers and blessings of Abbe Faria helped me stomach the worst of Monsieur Armand Dorleac's offerings. Even the worst ones, which happened upon my birthdays. My faith in place and my constitution being all that I had to lose by not eating, I stepped within the realm of "Ramen Hood" with an empty stomach, an eager mind and open heart. My spirit rose for the counter man was kind and made polite speech with me. There wasn't anyone else there, so I was sadly reminded of my times with lost friend and mentor, Abbe Faria. Who had spent years in the cell adjacent to mine where we often had talked quietly, just as the young man spoke with me now.. I think that he sensed I hadn't had a meal for a while so he left me to relax with refreshment. The monsoon weather was here and the weather was cool enough for Far Eastern cuisine, which I know very much about. My bowl arrived quickly and implements were provided. Although I am accustomed to eating with my hands, frowned upon in modern times, I accepted. It looked amazing. At Chateau d'if, nothing ever looked this well. I hadn't eaten in what felt like days (23 hours, IRL) so this bowl only took about 5 minutes to consume in total. The marinated egg, although added in cold to the hot broth, was far better than the pigeon eggs we were fed at Le Chateau d'if. Although the murkiness of the porcine tonkatsu broth was correct it wasn't terribly flavorful. The xa xiu pork was fatty, something that I am also quite unused to. But it wasn't dry, just a little unflavored. The broth was neither salted nor hot, which at Le Chateau d'if we never received anything warmer than a bloody boxing of the ears! So I was grateful for the warm soup. The carrots were uncooked, far better than the carrot tops that we received from my former house of incarceration. I noticed that the green onions weren't completely cut through, which reminded me of the first dull knife I had used and then broke, mining my way slowly and gently out of my prison cell. These far eastern noodles were al dente, as Abbe Faria would describe them. Italia received this gift during the Silk traders ' wars, the gift of noodle and pasta. We never received pasta of flour and egg within my former home of rehabilitation. And as a former sailor, I thoroughly enjoyed the "naruto" as they called it! Sweet, salty and egg like in consistency it was a fun texture that I had never sampled before. Must be a more modern day staple, with the odd red color hmmm. Since there were no other patrons here on a Friday night, I felt blessed by Abbe Faria, who taught me how to read and write, and say prayers over food as well as to be thankful for every meal. The bright pictures they had upon the wall were far more artistic than the scratches upon my stone bricks of my cell walls. They paled in comparison to the harem I had seen off the coast of Turkey, rumoured to be modeled after the Imperial Harem of the Ottomans. The carpentry resembled the artisans of the Japans, and brought back fond memories of the many geisha who entertained my heart, cultured my soul and enriched my mind, many years ago. I cleaned my own area, thanked the host and went on my way. I have had better Far Eastern pasta in both the Americas and the Japans, even in Europa and even once in the Australian wild. But I was thankful for being fed, once again. Ramen Hood was a full star better than Le Chateau d'if and I hope others who sample this fare are treated as kindly as the host treated me. We are always in a hurry to be happy,... for when we have suffered a long time, we have great difficulty in believing in good fortune. Your Servant, Edmon Dantes

I was excited to try the food here a friend of mine recommended. I try Ramen Hood. I was disappointed when I first walked in. There were a lot of dirty dishes, and the way the ordering system is set up. It was hard to figure out the menu. The food was not as fresh as I expected. The service was average. I would probably not recommend this to a friend.

We were out running errands and dropped in for lunch. Limited menu so we got one of each regular ramen and one spicy. Both had very good flavor. Mine was temperature hot great but my wife could have been hotter. The staff was very nice. Where they cook was clean. Where you eat was dirty. Tables not cleaned Booth old and torn. Walls dirty and need paint. Clearly owner is lazy to clean up the place

What's good: staff, a "different" ramen experience What's not so good: price. Let me explain: for a very casual feel of a restaurant, it's priced like any other. I've had some bland ramen here in AZ, and Ramen Hood is one of the firsts that compare to what I'm used to in Seattle. It's not for everyone, but I enjoyed the "build it yourself" and "order it yourself" style of this place.

As any Asian knows, instant ramen was invented to prevent starvation. Ramen Hood makes it into a quick "gourmet" meal. With the ease of an ordering station, you can take the time to build your own bowl. Get as adventurous as your palate desires. Seating can get limited during rush times but staff is always friendly and quick to clean the tables. The spicy miso broth is probably my favorite if you want a kick otherwise choose the tonkatsu sauce is pretty yummy too. While you can opt for no noodles, I prefer the egg noodles and the gluten free ones aren't too bad. You also have options for your protein and they tend to be very generous in portion sizes. Toppings are endless and fresh. You pay extra for the soy soaked eggs but no ramen is complete without the egg. On a scale from 0 to naruto, how much do you cherish your food?

Upon entering you are greeted with two self order kiosks. You have two choices, chef special or build your own for $15. I elected to go with the build your own. I chose a spicy miso pork ramen. I added some chili sauce, corn and seaweed. Overall it was good, but the pork was under cooked and overly salty. The portion size was large and generous.

As a place that advertises gluten free options, their "gluten free" noodles are reheated in the same water as their regular noodles which makes the gluten free noodles no longer gluten free. This is a very serious food handling issue. If something is labeled gluten free, it should actually be gluten free. This is well beyond cross contamination from being made in the same kitchen. The staff don't seem to be trained in proper food handling since they don't even understand why this is a problem. Makes me wonder what other things are not handled properly.

Ramen Hood is a fun ramen spot to check out. You get to order your food independently on a touchscreen. There are two, so you place your order and another guest can as well at the same time. The service was fast and friendly. The Ambiance is trendy and I love their Ramen Hood theme and warm wood throughout. I tried the chicken protein but I must advise, it is a little sweet more like a teriyaki flavor profile than savory. I'm not sure if the sweetness level is able to be modified or not. I would walk up to the registers and ask the employees if you have questions. My partner is vegetarian and loves their meatless tofu protein and broth option. Check them out for their fun take on Ramen!

Delicious ramen in huge portions! I do find ramen to generally be pricey but it can definitely Last you two meals for the price. It does have a lot of sodium in it so my husband and i might do it for a lunch rather than a heavy dinner. Staff was friendly.

I would love to give this place a 5 because we love the taste and freshness of the food. BUT... 1) If you take out/order out, the amount they give you is at least half the size of eating in. But the same expensive cost. Take out/order out is one meal. Dine in and you get at least 2 or 3 meals out of a bowl....which is much more inline with what they charge. The cost is outrageous for the amount they give you to go. They skimp on everything! 2) They charge $2.00 for 1 seasoned egg. IF I still go there, I'm going to order in even when I need it to go. I'm going to bring my own containers and put them in the containers so that I get my money's worth. They need to substantially reduce the cost for take out.

Great ramen spot, especially for takeout. The tonkatsu with egg is delicious, and their packaging keeps everything fresh. If you want extra protein, maybe order on the side - I don't think they measure out the portions closely and you might get stuff with a smaller portion. The creamy mango soda is a must-try! There seemed to be quite a bit of traffic when I went in towards 5 PM. The location is very convenient to where I was staying. You can order at a kiosk or order online. If you don't mind a somewhat baron design and are simply just trying to get Ramen to go, this is a great spot. That said they still have plenty of seating if you want to have a quick bite there.

Had shoyu Ramen that was pretty good; got to pick your own toppings so, that was pretty cool. The gyoza was mediocre, at best; the pork tasted overcooked and it seemed like there might have been rice in the mixture.

Passsssssss. They close early, food is mediocre at best, and their ingredients are weird for ramen. The noodles aren't great either which is like the whole point of ramen. Anyhow I'm sitting in their parking lot right now and just ordered pickup from Obon...which is hands down much better food

This isn't the best ramen I've ever had but the concept of this was so unique I had to give it 5 stars. The restaurant is located right off of the 101 in a little strip mall across from the target. The restaurant isn't a sit down but it's counter service. Like some people mentioned below, this is pretty much the Chipotle or Subway version of ramen which I thought was very cool. For $12, you can go with their two set bowls of ramen (the classic or the angry chicken) or customize your bowl. You first pick the broth, the meat, and then the toppings (which you can pick as many as you want!). I went with the classic but customized it so instead of tonkatsu broth, I wanted shoyu. The bowl was filled with lots of toppings and I actually felt so full leaving but was so content with the ramen. I definitely will be returning to this place for ramen!

Im going to start with the inappropriate music that was blasting when we walked in. Not appropriate at all! Especially for families. The food made us feel sluggish and was not fresh tasting at all. It was like a big bowl of mushy noodles in luke warm broth that resembled a cup of noodles. Although the portions were good, it was a bit overpriced. I think if the place were classier, and the food was fresher and more flavorful, the prices would match better.

Service was good. However, it is noticeable there was a change in the quality of ingredients. Noodles were not as thick, chicken was soggy due to it being breaded, and the portioning was definitely smaller.

Pretty cool concept if you're not used to the traditional toppings in ramen. There's a bunch of options that you can add. I can see why people wrote that it lacked flavor because you would need to add Japanese chili powder, miso paste or the light chili oil. There was an option for gluten free noodles so that's why I wanted to try it out. I had spicy miso broth, cha siu, egg, cilantro, green onions, corn, naruto, sliced bamboos, Japanese chili powder, miso paste, light chili oil, nori and fried onion chips. It was delicious. My fiance got the gluten free noodles with the tonkotsu broth and a bunch of other toppings and we both enjoyed it.

Cold broth. Disappointing to say the least. Left a weird flavor in my mouth. Staff was nice

Tried Ramen Hood for the first time recently and had a great take-out meal. For it being a fast food style ramen, it is really good. Looking forward to incorporating this place into my normal line up of restaurants.

We liked Ramen Hood due to the noodle quality and portion size. I'm a big eater so it works for me. I've had better broth but the noodle quality is better than most. The pricing is very reasonable so I have no complaints. Definitely recommend this place.
