The inspiration for Samurai Noodle comes from small Ramen shops throughout Japan. Places that focus all of their energy on rich broth, chewy noodles, and succulent pork that make up the essence of Ramen. When Samurai Noodle's first location opened on the west side of the Uwajimaya building in the International District, this is the vision its founders had in mind. Since then, Samurai Noodle has seen so much business that it has expanded to two more locations — one in the University District, and one on Capitol Hill.

The Samurai Noodle mission to bring traditional Japanese food to Seattle is ongoing. As the stores expand, so does our menu: our newest location brings the taste of true Japanese Izakaya to Capitol Hill with a new menu of authentic Japanese appetizers and sides and a huge sake bar to compliment our famous Ramen.
