Ramen and Bowl

My boyfriend and I were really excited to try this place since it seemed like it had recently opened. We went close to when they opened for dinner time and got a seat pretty fast. We had both ordered the tonkotsu ramen and overall it was a decent bowl of ramen. The noodles were chewy and bouncy, the egg was perfectly cooked, and the chashu had the right amount of smokiness. The only thing for me was that the broth was too salty, but luckily they had a self-serve water station. As for the flow of the restaurant: you come in, order on the kiosk at the front, take a number if you're dining in, then sit anywhere you please. At first we didn't realize what to do but there is signage at the front indicating what to do. Despite the restaurant being self serve the person working at the front was very kind and attentive throughout our meal, constantly checking on if we needed anything.

Loved this place! It looked like it just opened.Pros:The meat in the ramen and my husbands dish was excellent. The flavors were great! Everything we had was tastyThe place was cleanCons:They were busy so there wasn't enough seatingThe food was slow to get out, and it seemed like the staff was overwhelmed (but they were still friendly.)

Wow. So impressed. This is, without a doubt, THE BEST RAMEN in Whatcom County. This is the perfect place to grab a quick lunch while on break during your work day. Also makes for a great place to get a quick, delicious dinner or a fun and very affordable date night spot. They have a simple, non complex menu with all the Japanese staples you'd expect. The ramen is authentic and delicious. All the appetizers are great as well. (Although I will note the miso soup was a tad too salty for my taste) they have some unique and fun Japanese drinks to try. The servers are friendly and attentive. This IS a sit-down restaurant, but you are meant to go up to the register to order. Your food will be ready quite quickly so be ready to chow down about 10-15 minutes after ordering. Honestly, when all is said and done, we LOVED this place. For the price point, I'd say they go above and beyond. We plan to be regulars at this place.

We've been super excited that a new ramen spot was popping up in town and while I don't prefer ramen as my choice for noodle soup, I do love a rice bowl and small plates. The service style is a little different - order at the counter, seat yourself, server brings your food and you bus your own table - but that's not a bad thing, it can just be challenging to find a seat and there isn't too much of a waiting area. My favorites were the chashu bowl with "umami" chili oil and the mixed katsu bowl. The chashu was flavorful and tender, the chili oil had a good amount of sugar in it (which I love) and I love variety, so the mixed katsu was awesome for me. The ramen toppings were great, but the broth could be richer.Apps are pretty standard and not super exciting, but $3 draft beers are DEFINITELY a highlight.

The service here is pretty lackluster. I like to experience the service before giving a tip but you order at the counter and everything is pretty self serve. Husband has tonkatsu that was a little bit salty compared to his liking. I have to say I enjoyed the experience of the place that was in this establishment prior.

Decided to try my first ramen in Bellingham at Ramen and Bowl. They have an interesting set up for a sit down restaurant. They have you order at the register, self serve yourself water, and self seat. I've had this at other restaurants before but this just felt a little impersonal at this nice of a looking restaurant. We decided to get the tonkatsu ramen and chicken teriyaki. I wasn't too impressed with the flavor. I'm not sure I'll return again. What I do appreciate about this restaurant is the effort on presentation. The food came out looking beautiful and the whole restaurant in general is fun to be in.

My chicken katsu was amazing! Adding a side of curry really took it to another level. I highly recommend adding the curry to everything. The matcha ipa was worth a try as well. Food came quick and the service was very kind. I wish there was a few more options, maybe some combo/bento deals, but everything listed was great!

I was so thrilled that a ramen place would be replacing Muto! I love me some ramen.That's about where the thrill ended. There are no prices on the online menu, but upon walking in and seeing it in person, I was a little surprised at how expensive it is. You order at the counter and they deliver the food, and then you bus your own table. An order of gyoza, a ramen "super spicy" and a mixed katsu donburi bowl with "umami chili oil" was $45, with $2 and $1.5 charges for the extras, respectively. The cashier was very nice, and the place is clean. The gyoza was pretty small and had the weird whiff of plastic. The ramen broth was okay, but lacked depth. The "super spicy' was just extra red chili flakes. The bowl was fine... Literally just fine. Neither upcharge was worth it. Portions were enough for lunch, but it was all just so basic that I didn't even finish mine. Maybe they're working kinks out, but if I want stateside ramen, I prefer elsewhere.

Went in at 20 minutes to lunch close and they were doing takeout only. So I left. Kinda ridiculous

Stopped for lunch on a whim. Pros, quick service, good food quality and prep, presentation is nice.Had Shoyu bowl and tempura shrimp on the side. Very generous portions. Clean nice place. Cold water to drink if you don't want to order drinks. I'll be back.
