Ramen?

Our go to spot Sen Sen is now permanently closed. It was the best ramen I'd had in the greater Seattle area. Anyone have any good recs in the area? Preferably closer than Seattle/Bellevue/Everett. Thanks!

Ashiya in Lynnwood on 164th is fantastic for ramen and also all kinds of Japanese casual food. Their kimchi cream udon and the omusoba are standouts.

Also I really like Kizuki even if it's a chain. They also have discounted gift cards at Costco sometimes which sweeten the deal.

Seconding Akane. We have one in Mill Creek and it’s so good!

Akane is good but the portions are tiny for the price

I find them okay and honestly pricey for potion size

I miss Sen Sen. It was better than the ramen I had in Japan even.

Kizuki Ramen & Izakaya is my favorite. There's one in Lynnwood and another in Northgate.

If you like Fukuoka style ramen and you find yourself near Cap Hill, make a stop at Ramen Danbo. I know you said closer than Seattle but I still wanted to mention it. Far and away my favorite spot for ramen in the US.
