Ramen Izakaya Akira

Have been going here for years. I love the ambiance. Very similar to ramen places in Japan. Very authentic food, service, and vibes. They didn't have high chairs so hard for families with kids. Plus it is a little small inside so I don't recommend strollers.

Love this place! We used to live in the area and ate here a lot. We ended up moving about 30 minutes away but we still try to come out as much as we can because we just can't find another ramen place that compares!!The ramen is always so delicious and Chef is so kind, always greets us and thanks us for coming when we leave. The garlic pork shoyu broth ramen is my favorite!We do wish they still had lunch hours as that's when we'd typically come by on weekends, but we totally understand the change in hours! This place is always gonna be our favorite ramen stop no matter the hours

Really solid ramen ! This is one of the first ramen spots I tried when I moved back to Texas and it's held it's spot near the top for me. I got the pork broth and it was really tasty. I liked the dumplings and karaage as well! Be cautious of the size of your party, the restaurant is pretty small so I believe they cannot seat more than 4 people at once. I will have to stop in for a visit soon.

My fav ramen place in Carrollton and even the Dallas area. It is a small place so don't go with more than 3 ppl. The chef here knows what he's doing and you can tell cares about what he serves his customers. Def will be back!

I was not aware that the ramen I ordered came without broth. The ramen was very bland and it was cold. I did not enjoy this place at all. They only had 3 ramen options to choose from which is not what was advertised on their website. The service was okay and the interior of the restaurant is pretty small. Not many people were here for dinner which is telling.

It is a waste of time to drive here 40 minutes as the rain pours like crazy to find out they are permanently closed, have different management, and have different hours. I wish the owner updated it the moment they changed everything. I know I should call, and I didn't rely on the information provided by Yelp.

So technically the owner is nextdoor at the former Moonglow and is still serving ramen plus a French Japanese cuisine. This is still the best restaurant around and is a quiet place to dine in peace. The chef told us tonight he intends for his restaurant to be like your own personal chef. There are not many places like this anywhere. Always the best experience. Arigato.

I've been hearing such great things about this place and I'm so glad we drove out to try it! I ordered the spicy shoyo tonkatsu ramen and my bf ordered the spicy shio ramen, but we're very similar but the base is made differently. I loved that the noodles were the thin kind, I don't care for the thick noodles that much. The broth was very flavorful and rich. You could tell that they cooked the broth for a long time. I also enjoyed the chatsu, it was very tender just melts in your mouth. I would defiantly come back again!

High quality food and amazing warm decorations were just the start to our great experience. The chef also personally introduced himself to us would definitely return

We got here right when they opened so no waiting in line for a table. It was fast to get our food! It's a small place so I get why they can't accommodate more than 4. The renovations look great. We got 3 apps and then ramen. The bluefin tuna and avocado was great. A lot of avocado so people who hate beware! I am a person who drenches their salad in dressing and overpowers the main dish with sauces so take this with a grain of salt - the scallop one was a bit bland but it allows you to taste the actual scallop and not the sauce so I appreciate what it was. Then the spicy tuna with crispy rice was really well done and spicy! Spicier than I thought but you can take off the pepper on top to help. I got the spicy garlic shoyu ramen. It's not spicy and very yummy. I will be coming back to try out the yuzu miso ramen next!
