Ramen Akira

Came here for their daily lunch special from 11:30-3 where ramen ranges under $15 for chicken ramen, pork shio, or pork shoyu tonkotsu ramen, and $18 for their yuzu miso ramen. For lunch you can have addons for an added cost like rice curry bowl, takoyaki, gyoza, karage, etc. I got the pork shoyu ramen which seemed like the classic tonkotsu broth. I also paid for the added spice for $1 more, and it definitely enhanced the ramen flavor for me. Portions were also generous where I was expecting them to skimp a bit for lunch special deal but they didn't!I actually really enjoyed the ramen and the thick tonkotsu sauce. The noodles were on the skinnier end which I prefer because it didn't get overbloated and had a nice al dente chew. Service was good. There's free parking lot as well. Overall, a good spot especially for lunch if you don't want to drive to Little Tokyo for solid ramen.

I was craving ramen, so found this place near my home, decided to try it. The reviews are good, so I was expecting a good ramen.However, I really disappointed what I got.I had Chicken garlic ramen for to go, and the ramen had too much oil on the top, so I removed thick oil layer, and then tasted it, it was too salty, all I was eating was just salty ramen. After I had ramen, I was thirsty all night, keep drinking lots of water again and again.Even-though I was drinking lots of water, still I was thirsty. I really regret having the ramen there, it didn't give me any decent food quality.

I got the lunch special with the Shoyu ramen and calamari and everything was super tasty the broth was rich in flavor! The service was timely and Janet was super helpful when I wanted a different sauce with the calamari (it comes with a spicy mayo). Thank you!

Delicious ramen! We had the chicken ramen and garlic pork shoyu ramen! The ramen had so much flavor and I'mSo excited this place opened up! Also; Janet was such a great waitress , super attentive and friendly . Will definitely be back

Was there for Sunday dinner w/ my family. Was the 1st group there so was quickly seated and ordered. Nice and warm customer services and nice decor. The foods took abit of time to get out but it was good overall.

Friendly customer service. The food came out very quickly and it was really delicious, the garlic was spot onThe ambiance inside was very calm and soothing, another plus was that it was warm so you'll feel comfortable while you eat.

The spicy chicken garlic ramen broth is dynamite! It's savory, flavorful and well-seasoned with herbs & spices. The ingredients paired so well together -- the steamed and sautéed vegetables, egg, steamed seaweed, and the pulled chicken was the perfect texture in the broth. And Janet was a great server.

Amazing cute new ramen place in Koreatown. I had the pork shio ramen and wife had the curry. Both amazingly tasty. Service by Janet was smiley , friendly and spectacular. They'll soon have alcohol license to offer beer, soju and sake. Right now, it's just "fake" beer (0% alcohol). Parking lot is shared with several other businesses so at peak hours might be tough. We also loved that they offer their lunch specials *everyday*!

I had a chance to check out Ramen Akira when it first opened, about 6 weeks ago and tried their fried dumpling appetizer and spicy garlic pork shoyu ramen. I enjoyed everything I had, the ramen was good but with all the different ramen places out there, I can't say it was my favorite. However, I'd definitely be open to going back once they have a beer and wine license. I prefer enjoying my ramen with a cold beer. Our server Z was amazing. He was super friendly and explained the menu well.They have a cute little outdoor patio that they blocked off and created walls so you aren't staring at the lot. The plaza has free parking and located where the old bibimbap restaurant used to be.

Shio ramen was so amazing !!!!Above all, the server was so nice and kind to us!! I highly recommend here Akira Ramen
