Midnite Ramen

I was really excited to try the ramen here because ive heard such good things but i was just disappointed. First off the ordering system is confusing as hell and the signs they have up make no sense and I was not the only customer who was confused. Basically the sign says you need a buzzer to wait to order and then once you order you get another buzzer?? Makes no sense but i was able to order without a buzzer bc i guess it wasnt busy enough to warrant that. Next was the gyoza. They have a ticket system where if you want gyoza you have to buy tickets but the minimum is 3 tickets which equates to 15 pieces of gyoza. Call me insane but im not eating 15 gyoza in one sitting. You can use the tickets any time you want so technically you could come back but this system is just not friendly for out of towners or people who just live far away or just dont want to come back lol. The gyoza were really tasty and definitely homemade and were a decent price for a single serving $4 for 5 pieces but you have to put a down payment of $12 for 15 pieces which is just insane to me and makes no sense at all when the other side dishes you can just straight up buy one order of. Idk why theres a ticket system in place for 1 out of the many other items on the menu.I think overall the food was ok but i dont think i would willingly come back because of how over complicated everything here is. I feel like this is such a boomer complaint but technology has truly come too far and customers should be able to easily and intuitively order what they want. And this is coming from someone who has worked food service for 5+ years. At the end of the day this over complicated system of ordering is a detriment to customers as well as staff.

Decor and vibe is 10/10. Figurehead Brewing has a sweet new spot on Stone Way in Fremont/Wallingford, and Midnight moved their truck inside! And way more opening hours now, but not Tuesdays careful! Also other random days.Couple is so sweet and nice. Lot of care into the food. You place order at the truck inside Figurehead, grab a buzzer and in about 10 min you get a great bowl.Got the Miso Bold. Honestly 7/10. Didn't have enough Miso flavor for me and not full bodied enough. But the rest of the menu looks so promising I'm definitely coming back to try the other ramens. The Tantanmen from Hiroshima looks amazing. They have ones from different areas of Japan.

I'm so glad Midnite Ramen has a permanent spot now inside Figurehead brewing! My partner and I went on a Saturday night, and it was popping inside the brewery. The ordering system is a little confusing. They have kiosks where you can order gyoza and Osaka street food snacks, but to order the ramen you have to go to the truck itself. When you go to the truck, they give you a beeper and when it beeps, you're able to go to the truck to actually place your order. So a little strange but it's pretty speedy one it's your turn to place an order. The gyoza ordering is a bit strange too. You have to buy tickets, and each ticket is an order of 5 gyoza, but you have to order a minimum of 3 tickets for $12. The tickets can be used at any time, though, you could buy three tickets on your first visit and only redeem one ticket (5 gyoza). Then you can come back another time and just redeem the ticket for gyoza without having to pay again. Again, kinda confusing and a bit of a pain to have to keep track of the tickets but it's fine. Onto the food - we really liked the ramen and gyoza! The gyoza wrapper is quite thin and the filling kind of falls apart, but it was pretty good. I got the wonton ramen without the chili oil, and I liked it! The wontons had a good amount of filling, and the chashu and egg were cooked perfectly. The wonton ramen came with a shoyu broth which typically isn't my favorite, but my partner really liked it. He ordered the miso ramen, which I loved! I thought the miso broth was really flavorful. Also, the service was so sweet! The woman who worked in the truck was so kind and genuine.

YUMMM best ramen I've had in quite a while! Definitely did not expect to love it as much as I did, especially from a food truck. Came here on a weekday night when it was at Obec brewing and was expecting a little wait based off past reviews. They give you a buzzer before you even order, which is nice so you can head inside and grab a beer instead of standing outside in the cold. Waited maybe 5-10 minutes before getting buzzed to place an order, and another maybe 15 before our food was ready. It was worth the wait though. I got the Miso Bold ramen and a beef brisket bao. Noodles/broth were perfection and the beef brisket bao is a must get! The noodles had the perfect bite, and there was a good amount of meat in the bao.Rumor has it they're opening up a brick and mortar this year and their food truck will go away when this happens, so try them out soon!

For a ramen yatai I'm quite impressed by the ramen flavor and quality. My favorite is the Onomichi ramen (pork back fat) it is devilishly good as it's full of umami. The Miso Bold can be a bit more spicy (or the staff should have asked me) and the miso flavor is not strong enough. It does get a little confusing on where you can eat. Actually the Figurehead Brewing is ok with the Midnite Ramen customers to sit inside or outside of their bar. A little more clear instructions would be nice.

Been wanting to try this place for years. Showed up about an hour early but they were already setting up so we went into the brewery to wait. 5 came and was first in line.Ordered the Sapporo miso and the Onomichi. With 2 of their baos. Both were so good. The Onomichi was a more milder flavor, added some garlic and pepper to it. Bao's were also very tasty. This place is way better than the Kizuki chains and is in my top 5 in WA. Can't wait for their brick and mortar to open!

Ramen isn't my go-to food in any scenario, except after I tried midnite ramen while visiting friends in Seattle in 2021. The chashu! The broth! The garlic! All of it. My friends are lucky enough to live close by and are familiar with the very friendly owner. In 2021, I ate the Kobe Brisket Ramen and this June I went for the Kumamoto Miso Bold. Unf. Sumptuous! Next up I want to wontonmen. Anyway. If you like straightforward unpretentious ramen, check out midnite ramen!

3.5 years in and this is hands down my favorite ramen in the city. The broth is by far some of the best broth I have ever had. They have 12 or so styles of ramen plus some buns. My favorites are the classic, miso bold, and Taiwan styles, but they're all delicious. I'm sad they'll be leaving Magnolia soon for myself, but I'm happy for Elmer and Izumi, the owners, that they finally get to fulfill their dream of having a permanent shop set up!

I love ramen and I'm a quest to try every single ramen restaurant in the Greater Seattle area, and Midnite Ramen popped up as an interesting option to check off the list! We went on a Thursday around 7pm and were able to get a couple of orders in.The restaurant itself is a small cozy looking food truck, and is situated right outside a brewery - it is convenient since you are also able to get a beer while waiting for your food. There are outdoor seating arrangements right outside the food truck, and since it looks like the two establishments are paired, you should also be able to sit inside if the weather the day you are visiting is chilly or rainy. Service is fast, you wait in line to place your order, they hand you a notification device, and you pick up your feel as soon as it buzzes. We went on luckily a not too busy night, so we got our food in about 5 - 10ish minutes.I placed two orders, and was able to try an appetizer and two of their ramen options! I'll review what I got down below:Bun with scallions and charshu ($6): This appetizer does wake up your taste buds nicely. The only critique that I would have was that they smother the bun with green onion, they really pile it on! This made the other flavors like the charshu very much subdued due the overpowering flavor of scallions. I like scallions, but would suggest trying something else if you aren't the biggest fan of themWontonmen Ramen ($16): Delicious and meaty wontons! The wontons are huge, and they are almost about the size of a gold ball, and have good meaty texture and flavor. They give a generous helping of them, since I think I got about five of them in m bowl. There are some helpings of bamboo, and the noodles had a decent chew to them. The egg was a good consistency, but compared to other ramen places, I wished it was marinated or seasoned, as it was just a normal soft boiled egg. The broth had a mild spice, and it was nice taking a bite of a wonton, and re-dipping it in the broth. A heartyOnomichi Ramen ($13): Oh man, this is a hearty and delicious bowl of noodles! The broth is very interesting - on the menu, you would think that the dominant flavor would be pork, but they added bonito or some dried fish/other seafood that gave it a deep umami that was very pleasing. From the picture, you can see that there is a good amount of back fat scatter through the bowl. The chashu soaked up the broth nicely and was tender, and the noodles were nice and chewy. I would say this was my favorite thing I tried out of everything I ordered. Overall, I spent about $40ish for everything that I ordered above. I would say the pricing is decent considering the quality and amount of food that I got. Midnite Ramen is a bit far from where I live, but if I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely like to try the other options that this restaurant has to offer! (4.5 stars)

Delicious food. It's a tiny tiny food truck, but there's outdoor seating available. The brewery next door let us eat inside luckily since it was cold. They only have maybe 5 things on the menu in total, but they are great at those 5 things. We tried a few different ramens and loved them all. Most of the group had never had ramen and had lots of questions, staff was patient and friendly, even though some of us switched orders repeatedly.
