Asa Ramen

"Google maps said it has been 7 years since I last ate here, decided to give it another try. So much regret. My party of 3 was promptly seated, provided water, and took out order (just 3 Kotteri ramens). We waited over half an hour to get our food. And it was NOT worth the wait. It was overly salty, barely edible. The flavor reminds me of Ichiran home cook packs which now I suspect that's what they use. The restaurant is connected to a "bar" next door, and the entire time there were cigar smells (more prominent when people are entering/leaving the bar through a door). This was very off-putting when trying to eat ramen. Writing this review to remind myself to NEVER return in another 7 years or however long it will be..."

"I think the food was alright but I wouldn't go back. The guy serving us was so nice but my biggest take away is that they have roaches, german roaches. Saw one crawling on the wall and felt so uncomfortable. I should have figured as this restaurant has a C rating. Please ignore the picture with the A rating. It's not recent. If you dont care about roaches, then you might like this place. If it wasn't for that, I might go back.."

"Shio ramen was amazing. I came to Asa Ramen after a particularly hard day needing comfort, which their ramen and service provided. They also have beer: Sapporo and Asahi. Basic ramen starts from $9. Thank you! Will be back!"

"Quite possibly the best ramen + side dishes I’ve had in the South Bay, especially greater LA, and for an unbeatable price. Staff is professional and courteous! Don’t even consider anything else nearby. This place is all you need."
