Review Summary

Kelso Asian Buffet in Kelso, WA holds a 3.9-star rating from 362 Google reviews, based on our read of the aggregated diner feedback. Taste lands in the "good, reliable" range rather than a wow factor, based on reviewer feedback. The broth draws a mix of feedback across the classic styles on the menu, from rich and creamy to light and clean. Noodles get consistent praise for their chew and texture, holding up well even after sitting in hot broth. Bowl sizes trend on the smaller side according to some reviewers, though quality generally makes up for it. Pricing is viewed as fair at $$ for a casual ramen meal. Kelso Asian Buffet offers dine-in, takeout, so there are multiple ways to enjoy a bowl. Overall, Kelso Asian Buffet is worth a visit if you're curious, though it's worth skimming recent reviews before making a special trip.

Absolutely delicious from the first bite to the last drop of broth. Thick, satisfying noodles that soaked up all that flavor. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Fresh toppings and a beautifully marinated egg. Service was fast even though it was packed.

Decent flavor overall. It hit the spot on a cold day. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Wish the bowl were a little bigger, but the quality made up for it. Loved the soft-boiled egg — perfectly jammy yolk.

Honestly one of the best bowls of ramen I have had in a long time. The noodle texture was spot on, not mushy at all. Bowl was a good size, just right for a satisfying lunch. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.

Every spoonful was packed with umami. You can tell they take this seriously. Noodles were springy and cooked exactly to that ideal firmness. A hearty, large bowl that is well worth the price. Pork was fatty in the best way and the green onions added a nice bite.

A reliable spot when you are craving a warm bowl of noodles. Generous portion of noodles — I did not run out before the broth. Portion size is generous; I could barely finish the whole bowl. The nori and scallions really rounded out the bowl. Staff were friendly and the service was quick.
