Botan Ramen n Bar - (Near Everett, WA)

2 /5 Rae Niculescu: We’ve been here twice over the past 2 months. The food is good with generous portions. Service is poor— our first time was just so-so and the second time was extremely disappointing. One of our parties meals arrived about 30 minutes after the 2 others meals were served. I had to get up and go to the kitchen around the 20 minute mark since nobody checked on us or took initiative to say the order was taking longer. I was told it would be out “in just a few minutes”. Another 10 minutes passed with no updates. So I had to get up and go to the kitchen 2nd time. There were no special requests on any of our orders, just standard menu items (ramen and karage don) There were two servers present and only two other dining tables occupied during the time we were there. There were 2 to-go orders brought out during this time. They did not offer to comp anything on our tab and by the time food had arrived my older daughter lost her appetite (she’d had 2 gyozas and a couple bites of her sisters ramen). It was my youngest daughters birthday request to come here and we were late for the other plans we had that evening as well. Staff seemed more interested in socializing among themselves than being attentive to diners or being sincere about service recovery. Would use for take out again but not dining in.

4 /5 Kessandra White: I enjoyed most the food that I ordered here but felt the chicken was overcooked and bland. I did order too much food should have ordered one Ramen to share versus two. The dipping sauces were good but definitely not Japanese sauces. The ramen is very good and flavorful but heavy. Good spot for some warm comforting food for cold days.

4 /5 Sarah Leedom: This was a good find in downtown Everett. We came right around opening time, so the place was still a little empty. You notice the pink tree right away and something to note is they keep this tree very clean. We got sat right away and the server was very quick to bring water to the table. The menu is not very large; however, you have a lot of build your own options with the different types of ramen and the beer list has many of the imports you know and love. When our food was brought to the table you could tell the broth had been made in house. The smell was very aromatic, and the taste of the food was fresh. We never thought of exploring more of Everett, but this place has given us some new lunch and dinner date ideas in the area. We will be coming back!

5 /5 Tary Des: Their food is amazing, and they’ve even made ramen travel safe. Not the first place to do this in the region, but this place even arranged the ingredients in the bowl in an organized and pretty way! It really felt like they go out if their way to give a good experience even if you’re ordering take out.

5 /5 Elly Huỳnh: Best ramen Ive ever got. I went there with my dad and my sister. We all got 3 different types of soup: Shoyu, Tonkotsu, and Miso. Everyone all said their ramen was delicious. I got the Shoyu with pork belly, very flavorful broth, the meat is pefectly cooked and seasoned. I also love how they decorate the store. The price is very reasonable for how delicious it is. Highly recommend.
