" If you're looking for authentic ramen, you'll want to check out Kayava! I was impressed by the quality of the broth—it was both savory and light. The chicken paitan was a real highlight with its rich texture. The server recommended the spicy paste, and it worked perfectly! The dining area was tasteful and inviting, making it a great spot to relax. I can't wait to return and try the vegan options next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Kayava last week and was a bit apprehensive because of the mixed reviews I'd read. However, my experience turned out to be quite pleasant! I tried the truffle shantan ramen, which was light and flavorful. The noodles had a perfect bite to them. Though I expected a more intense truffle flavor, it was still very enjoyable. The service was good, friendly enough, and the place has a lively ambiance. Overall, I would say it’s worth a visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Kayava with some friends last weekend and had a blast! The staff were friendly and enthusiastic right from the get-go. We ordered several different ramen types to share, and every bowl was well-prepared. I particularly loved the truffle chicken ramen—it was lighter than I anticipated and packed with flavor. All the toppings were fresh, though I wished for a bit more chashu in my bowl. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at Kayava last evening. The chicken ramen was exquisite! I particularly adored the truffle oil they drizzled over it; it added a new layer of flavor I wasn’t expecting. The noodles were well prepared but I did feel that they could provide a bit more protein for the price. The environment was soothing, perfect for enjoying a meal. I’ll definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" My favorite ramen spot in Seattle! Kayava has consistently delivered delicious bowls every time I’ve visited. The staff is friendly and the environment is perfect for a casual meal.

" I must say that the vegan ramen at Kayava was delightful! The flavors were well-balanced, and the ingredients felt fresh. The only downside was that I wished for a slightly larger serving size, especially for the price. Overall though, I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great ramen options in Seattle. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to Kayava last night and was pleasantly surprised! I tried their truffle ramen which was light and had a delicate flavor. The staff were friendly and made great recommendations. Although the bowl was not as filling as some other places, the taste made up for it! A lovely experience overall! " (*Curated Review*)
