About Asa Ramen

Asa Ramen is a traditional, old-school ramen house in SoCal, with a chill vibe and friendly service. The menu has changed, but the ramen is still delicious—like the 'Fire Bowl Ramen' with various spice levels. The owner, a Japanese immigrant, puts heart and soul into every bowl. It's a simple, basic ramen without frills, reminiscent of Japan. The dimly lit ambiance adds to the experience, making it feel like dining in Japan. The place has an authentic, old-skool feel, with a cozy atmosphere that is complemented by the friendly staff. Although orders might take a bit longer because of the small team preparing the food, the wait is worthwhile, as the food impresses with its flavor and authenticity. The broth’s simplicity perfectly complements the toppings, highlighting traditional Japanese ramen. The restaurant has a slight cigarette smell, but it quickly becomes less noticeable. The owner often comes over to check on customers, even offering chips with drinks, adding a warm, welcoming touch. Overall, Asa Ramen remains a great spot for those who appreciate simple, authentic ramen, and nearby there's a karaoke bar owned by Mr. Asa that adds to the fun experience.
