Asuka Ramen&Poke

*edited to add - I was up last night with what I think was food poisoning- I had all the salmon rolls - so maybe something there. From reviews doesn't seem like this happens but I woke up with all the symptoms in the night. Went with my daughter this evening based on great reviews. Service was slow at first - maybe they were just giving us more time to fill out the paper sheet. They ended up being friendly and well attentive. Well staffed. My daughter loved the Philadelphia roll- had lots of cream cheese and salmon. The rice was slightly different than I've had before- more sticky and a slightly darker color- it fell apart a little which I don't like. I had the 1-25 roll - spicy and good flavor. The spicy salmon- good- but spicer than I normally have had which was ok with me- I enjoyed it. The lion king roll - yum! Baked and delicious. Kid friendly too. Prices were great for basic rolls- like $7-8 a roll- awesome!Mochi for dessert was cut up nicely for my daughter- she loved it. Not my favorite sushi spot in Colorado but priced well and pretty good. It seemed their best dishes may have been Nigiri - saw some gorgeous pieces going out.

Stopped in for a quick lunch. We have passed this place a few times and hadn't had a chance to stop in yet. We have also been on the HUNT for some good Spicy Miso Ramen and we were hoping this place would solve our search, and for the most part it did. My spouse was craving some poke so we also added that to the mix.The customer service was excellent and our food came out super quick. The restaurant is smaller, but was not busy for a Saturday afternoon and they had some good music playing. Our order was Spicy Miso Ramen with Pork instead of Chicken and a Firecracker Bowl.The Spicy Miso Ramen gets a 9 /10. The flavor of the broth was delicious and for the first time since we've been back in Colorado, we felt like the noodles and other components also had flavor and weren't looking for the broth to carry it all on its own. I personally do not like corn in my ramen, however that's on me for not noticing that on the menu and asking to have it without. It was not disruptive in any way and still had good flavor.The firecracker bowl 8/10. The flavor was good, the only thing I wished is that I could have tasted more freshness in the poke in itself. Once we mixed everything together I felt like the freshness was lost. Overall I would definitely come back for some ramen, it was really good!

Very chill and laid back environment and some very solid food as well! The chicken karage with the sesame sauce was fantastic. The ramen was also good just needed some siracha added to it! I'd definitely try this spot again!

Was visiting from out of town and came across this ramen place. I ordered there and the food came out relatively quickly. The tonkotsu broth was white but delicious. I had it without spice and added Strachan. The egg was poached but slightly undercooked. I enjoyed the yolk and the flavor of the broth. The broth is not too heavy. They interestingly add spinach and it was such a nice touch. Plenty of noodles and pork. I really enjoyed it! The spot is small but nice. And the staff was super friendly

Service, ambiance, and food all amazing ! The ramen here hits the spot EVERY time ! The broth is always full of flavor Definitely try their chicken karaage it always comes out sooo crispy ! I also recommend their Thai tea !

This is strange ramen shop that focuses more on the food than ambiance of the shop. I've yet to try this place as a pick up/ to go order but sitting down you can so many to go orders being placed! Food comes out quick and tastes good, staff is nice and friendly.

Asuka has definitely been my go-to neighborhood poke place and it's conveniently just down the street from my northeast DTC house. They have survived the pandemic in this tiny space. As humble as it seems, what they offer and serve is quite the range. I'd call this place "A feisty chihuahua with a big heart"!It could be the quality of the food they serve. Or it could be the cleanliness they focus on. Or could it be the fast service no matter when? The patrons continue to support them for their everyday or weekly dining needs. Our build-your-own poke bowl was a full volume. The lady at the ingredient station was so generous as to how much fixings she put into it. Everything looked satisfactorily fresh.We also ordered 4-piece Spinach Cheese (deep fried) Wontons. We became a fan of them. I need to support them more. Next time, I'll try their ramen.

Parking onsite available. The restaurant is small but food and service were great. You can order at the cashier or from QR Code at any of the tables we did both. I was hesitant to order the takoyaki but I am glad I did. It was made fast and fresh with ample octopus inside. The Chicken Kara Age was very mild in flavor not as crispy as other locations but still well made the accompanying sauce complimented the chicken very well. The gyoza was also good quality I wish the bottom was just a touch crispier. The spicy tonkatsu ramen was well flavored and very rich, the egg appeared poached unlike traditional Ajitsuke Tamago. The duck ramen my husband ordered was well seasoned his only complaint was there weren't enough noodles. The noise level was very quiet I don't know if that was because we dined it 2 hours prior to closing. Staff was kind stand offish so they need a bit of work welcoming customers.

Not bad, not great, but quite pricey for what you get. I'll continue my search for more authentic ramen, as this place is only a shadow of what REAL ramen should be. We didn't sample the poke, as that looked good, but we came here for ramen primarily. I disliked the supplies in the back of the restaurant as it made it look cheap and unorganized. Really messy looking. I'll not return.

The ZANGI ramen is the food of lucid dreams and savory adventures. Always quick service and friendly faces. Eggs are poached so soft they defies gravity to stay together and taste like egg cream.
