“ So good, so delicious, so flavorful. I am so glad I checked out this gem of a spot tucked away in the Figurehead Brewing communal space. The little food cart packs a flavorful punch and offers several varieties. I got the Tan Tan Men and it was everything I hoped it would be: salty, creamy, with plenty of toppings (mushroom, bok choy, ground meat and plenty of chili oil!). The noodles were perfectly cooked and chewy. ”
“ Super chill and delicious ramen spot. The Japanese grandpa is lovely! Eating here was like eating at a Japanese grandparents’ home. Went for the first for lunch on hump day, and both our ramens were just perfect! One of the other diners didn’t eat their ramen get called, and “grandpa” literally stopped his one man show, walked out to the dining/beer area yelling, “Number 13. 13, your ramen is getting cold. 13, I don’t want your ramen to get cold.” It was heartwarming and showed true pride in the meal being served. ”
“ As the weather gets colder, I’ve been on a mission to find the perfect bowl of ramen to keep me warm. That search led me to Midnite Ramen in Wallingford, and it did not disappoint. This spot is straightforward and no-frills—you order at a kiosk around the back, pick up your food yourself, and your meal is ready super quickly. No long waits here, just hot, delicious ramen when you need it. I tried the spicy tantanmen with minced beef, while my husband opted for the shoyu beef brisket ramen. Both were fantastic, with generous portions of perfectly cooked noodles and tender, flavorful meat. The noodles, in particular, had that ideal chewy texture that makes every bite satisfying. This was one of the best ramen joints I’ve been to in a while. Midnite Ramen shares its space with Figurehead Stoneway, so you can pair your meal with a beer. It’s the perfect combo during a cold winter day. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu—or just to indulge in another perfect bowl of tantanmen. ”
“ If you're a fan of great beer and even better ramen, then this place is a must-visit. Nestled in the heart of Figurehead Brewery (Stone Way location), Midnite Ramen offers a wide selection of ramen as well as small eats. I had their spicy ramen called the "Hiroshima Tan-tan-men" with beef. The broth is rich, flavorful, and delivers just the right amount of heat. I also had their fried chicken as an appetizer and it was better than most fried chicken places in Seattle. If you're after a cozy spot with great food and drinks, this place is a must-try. Highly recommend! ”
“ You know the food is gonna be great when Elmer is in the truck!!! Everyone has a favorite ramen spot in Seattle. This one is ours. Fantastic flavor and now a great location. I'm always ready for my next bowl. ”
“ This was my first time at midnite ramen and it was a delicious experience. The place is a cute food truck located inside a smallish building. We ordered the Miso Ramen, Pork Onomichi, and Zangi. Every single dish was so tasty. The broth was rich, flavorful, and bold. The noodles were by far the best ones I've ever tasted. A perfect balance of firmness and softness. It was a chewiness I haven't come across before. The people at the food truck were so helpful when we were confused about how to order. It is open seating and they have a water station inside too. Definitely will be back! ”
