Ramen Akira

We stopped here before going to the Convention Center with my husband. All I have to say is Ramen Akita is hands down one of the best ramen places I have tried in a while. 100% recommend🫶🏻

Clean, simple decor and friendly service. Was pleasantly surprised by the lunch special offered and ordered the spicy Yuzu Miso Ramen (at the server's suggestion) with a 3pc side of takoyaki. So happy with the choice!

The takoyaki wasn't drowned in mayo, the sauce was perfectly balanced, and it was genuinely some of the best I've tried in LA.

The ramen! Wow. The noodles were perfect to me. They had a good bite to them and they didn't try to slither out of my chopsticks while en route to my mouth. The meat was incredibly tender and slightly fatty, but not greasy. The broth wasn't overly salty or spicy and had a refreshing yuzu taste that didn't overwhelm the creamy miso flavor. My SIL pointed out how fresh the bamboo shoots tasted as they didn't have that vinegary tang to them that canned ones did.

I finished my bowl (something I can rarely manage) and didn't have the uncomfortable heavy feeling I've had with other miso-based ramen.

I can't wait to go back for the dinner hour and try patio dining

I enjoyed the tonkatsu curry rice very much. ‘‘Twas comparable to the one I had in Asakusa, maybe even better ..will try their specialty ramen next time ..
