Brook ShelleyJuly 5, 2015Get the karaage and the samurai armor with the shōyu tonkotsu and you'll be full and happy
Aveena MathewAugust 20, 2017Spicy miso was delicious. Highly recommend it!! Most definitely had a kick to it
Serious EatsSeptember 9, 2013With three locations in Seattle, Samurai might make the best ramen in the area (Tonkotsu is especially popular)—on its good days.- Miraj ShahAugust 12, 2015Some of the best ramen in Seattle, and comparable to stuff in Japan. Everything is brilliantly fresh and flavorful!
Seattle MetNovember 9, 2011A clothes closet feels spacious by comparison, but this International District ramen-ya (along with its sibling on the Ave) is a near-perfect rendition of the tiny noodle shops of Japan.

DiJuly 30, 2010They have GREAT, traditional Ramen (for what that's worth). You usually won't find a Japanese restaurant that serves Ramen here in the great NW. Thank goodness for Samurai!
Ryan LeeNovember 17, 2011Portion size is way too small. Took me like. 5 bites to finish it. This would be comparable to a small pho anywhere else for the price of a large. Pretty good though, not too many ramen places around
- Trevor JueMay 29, 2011so-so service, slightly expensive/they charge for almost everything, super WEAK portions, overall ramen is nothing special ESP for the price/portions. the pork is good tho. try aloha ramen-it's better
Ligaya AndrewsJuly 25, 2013Not that great...service slow when there were few tables. First ramen place I've tried in Seattle. Not impressed. Especially after living in Okinawa.
Scraping your chopsticks against each other in a restaurant is rude; it shows the proprietor that you think their chopsticks are cheap. Don't do it!
LAST ORDER taken is at 10! They don't REALLY close at 10:30, they close at 10!
Super slow service speed especially during Dining hours. Do not come if you have any time constraint.
Don't come here if you're expecting a quick meal. The service is very slow.
Gretchen MusgroveMarch 26, 2010Noodles are chewy and the soup was salty. Would have preferred Cup O Noodles.

"Second favorite restaurant in the ID. If you've never had ketchup fried rice, this is the joint. They have a variety of dishes - everything from baked cheesy rice to curry chicken."

"love their beef, vegie, brown rice, goma + ponzu combined w hot oil. If you're Chinese/Vietnamese, DO NOT bring your parents. they will hate it. Will come back with friends, never w parents again."
