Akane Ramen

Glad this local spot opened within walking distance. I have been several times and highly recommend it. I've tried the rice bowls and my favorite is the ramen. The people running this are very nice and we have had great service. Check it out. Update 2024: we have visited many times and this continues to be a great spot for our family. I recently became a fan of the stir fried noodles as well! The best around in my opinion. Also, you really have to try their hot chili sauce. It is truly the best I have tried. They make it in house and the quality shows. I found it mild/medium but it added a lot of flavor.

First time eating here the atmosphere... Is really great! They greeted us walking in gave us some time to look through the menu to see what we wanted, My close friend got Tonkotsu ramen and I got the Miso garlic ramen. Both were pretty tasty and I'd defenitly recommend coming back here again if you're looking to try a different ramen resturant.

Very disappointing compared to the Woodinville location. The shrimp on my shrimp chahan were very fishy, I don't know how you manage to do that. My son's ramen broth had zero flavor, and no, we didn't get him a kid's bowl. Woodinville always has very rich, flavorful, and well-seasoned broth by comparison. My rice was good, that's pretty much all I can say positively and why I didn't rate one star. We moved here recently and were excited to see another Akane near our house. Had very high expectations after years of enjoying the Woodinville location, but we'll make the extra drive back to that one in the future.

The food quality is very consistent. The owner and staff are friendly. We were glad to find this nice Ramen restaurant around this neighborhood.

I recently visited Akane while making an ad for the apartment complex I work at, doing a location spotlight for our residents. To be honest, I’m glad I did. The food at Akane was absolutely fantastic. I started with the tonkotsu shoyu ramen, and it was incredibly flavorful. The broth was rich and savory, and I loved that you could make any bowl spicy, which added an extra layer of depth. The toppings were spot on, especially the chashu pork, which was perfectly seared and melt-in-your-mouth tender. I also had the Osaka-style okonomiyaki, which I’ve always wanted to try. It did not disappoint. The layers of flavor were amazing, and watching the bonito flakes dance from the steam was a fun touch that really elevated the experience. The Katsudon was another highlight — savory, filling, and
