My family and I are from out of town visiting my son. He took us to this place because he really liked it. We ordered a lot of food; my son had a separate order, and our family's order was $82.32. We went back to my son's place to eat. I looked through my food before I ate, and I found a worm in my ramen, so I called them to let them know what we had Found. At first, they did not want to reimburse us. Then they said they would reimburse the one meal, which we thought was not right because after finding this I told everybody to stop eating their food and no one ate their food. Then they said they would talk to the owner, and the owner said that they would reimburse the whole meal, besides the beer, which I understand. They took our name and number down and said we would be reimbursed. This has not happened, and I'm highly disappointed. We wil not go back to this place again and if you do eat at this place, please search your food. *Pics are posted* read more

Good ramen. I think the broth needed a little more time but still had good flavor. Noodles were good and buttery. Very small but quaint restaurant. They offer table and bar style seating. I also tried the chicken bao appetizers...they were delicious. I honestly think I enjoyed them more than the ramen. Service was good as well. Ample free parking since it's located in a strip mall. Good go to on a cold day. read more

Genuinely wonderful and tasty food for a decent price. The people were extremely nice but the server was a little high maintenance. The atmosphere is great and sitting at the bar is a fun experience. I had the curry ramen with fried chicken and it was delicious. read more

We are on a cross country road trip. We had just spent about 8 hours on the road and were wanting something simple, and close to our hotel. We looked around at our options and settlet on Aji Ramen Bar. We were not disappointed. Our group ordered the Curry Chicken, Chicken Miso and Shrimp Miso Ramens. Everything came to the table quickly, was hot, fresh and delicous. The service was fantastic, and the price was just right (Starter, three ramens and a shareable dessert, all under $50). We are considering coming back through Little Rock on our way home, just so we can dine here again. Would definitely recommend! read more

Their steamed buns are some of my all time favorites. I also have enjoyed both their broth and brothless ramen too. I greatly appreciate them having vegetarian options. I can't tell you the number of times my husband and I try to go venture out but then end up going straight to Aji knowing that it won't disappoint! read more

The best broth for noodles that I have ever tasted. It's made from scratch - not powder like other restaurants.

The best ramen place ever. Service is great but the food is amazing. Large portions. The flavor is just absolutely amazing!

You really need their food in your life, LOL! Customer service was great as well! This is a quaint spot so if you're going for dinner/weekend, it might be a wait. But, trust me it's well worth the wait! I ordered the Takoyaki (octopus balls) and the Shoyo Ramen (with chicken and fried shrimp). I do wish the octopus was a little less gummy but the sauce on top of them were awesome! The ramen was the star of the show for me!! It was everything I needed and more, fulfilling and flavorsome! I ate EVERY last drop. Oh, and add some garlic oil for an additional layer of yumminess! read more

Awesome ramen and service. I usually get the vegetable ramen and add extra chili paste on the side for some heat. Sometimes I add extra tofu, roasted seaweed or soft boiled eggs. This is a very busy place during typical lunch hours. I try to go between 1 and 5 for a quieter atmosphere with less people. They also have sake and Asian beer. I wish they'd add more non flavored, non nigori, dry sakes. Great spot! read more

So glad we finally tried this restaurant. So many appetizers. Even octopus balls!! We had the dumplings, karaage, and spring rolls. For the main course we had vegetable ramen, tonkotsu ramen, and miso ramen. You choose which protein you want in it. The vegetable ramen comes with tofu. All very tasty. They have an assortment of beers and sake. Along with a couple of wines. Small place so it gets filled up quick. We didn't have to wait long. They moved people through quickly. Plenty of parking. It is located in a strip mall. read more

We stopped for lunch during our trip and were happy to have found authentic ramen! It was a cold and rainy day, so it was just perfect. When we arrived, we were immediately greeted and sat. We ordered the gyoza to start, and they came out really fast! They tasted great and were pan-seared perfectly. We then ordered the Tonkotsu ramen, and it also came out fairly quickly. The ramen was delicious, full of flavor, and loaded with condiments. They also offer you a side of chili oil in case you want to add some spice. The service was also good! I would recommend this spot for some good ramen. read more

A small ramen spot laid out in a narrow way. They have a handful of tables (maybe about six) to seat four people along the walls and then bar seating basically along the other wall. A bit warm on the inside, but not so much that it was miserable or even that distracting. The menu is pretty small, but they did have an extra paper with some new menu items... though even with some more options I'd still say the menu was pretty small. I went with the chicken ramen. It came in pork broth (which I thought was interesting since it was chicken ramen, but that's probably pretty common and I just never noticed before). I thought it was good but pretty simple. I would have liked the flavor overall, and specifically the broth, to be more powerful. I did really enjoy that it came with a soft boiled egg instead of having to order it as an "extra" like some other places. I also liked the chili hair since I've never tried it before and it looked cool. It added a tiny bit of spice. The noodles were thinner than I've had with this kind of ramen, it was more similar to the thickness of packaged ramen. They gave a good amount of chicken and the chunks were pretty big. To me it had a soy sauce flavor, like the chicken was cooked in it or something. I didn't eat any of the seaweed paper but I liked that it was there still because it added a little more flavor to have it kind of continue to soak in the broth. The staff was very nice too! read more

Sit at the bar, it's a vibe. It's one of me and my wife's favorite places to go. The curry ramen and tonkatsu ramen are fantastic and the steamed buns are my favorite appetizer from any restaurant in the entire state. The service is hit and miss, but we've never had a bad enough experience given the quality of the food. read more

I've only gone here twice and both times it was great. I was introduced to this place by a dear friend. I was skeptical since I wasn't sure if I would like it because I never have had real ramen before. Delicious, just delicious! I liked everything down to the springy bounce of the noodles and the savory broth. Both times I have been here the service was excellent and they were nice enough to give me a second bowl when I explained this to go order was going to be split between my mom and myself because the portions are so huge (which is great considering the price). I do wish that they had a bigger place because seating is almost packed during peak hours (that says a lot), but it's never a long wait to get a to go order or if you're lucky to grab a seat during busy times. This is a gem! read more

For the most part, good for what's available in the area. The noodles seem to be shipped in and premade, ramen eggs are just a bit over cooked relative to the traditional jammy egg - marinade is also weaker than usual. Pork slices are a bit more lean than traditional chashu pork belly. The broth is 75% of the way there, just needs more dashi flavor and oil. read more

On this cold evening, was in the mood for something warm and comforting. Ramen seemed the perfect companion. Unfortunately, our first ramen experience in Little Rock was a bit disappointing. The cha-siu ramen broth was lacked flavor and the richness advertised. The pork slices bone-dry. Chicken "karaage" was a sad sight opening the container. I write "karaage" because they're more of the frozen chicken nugget variety. Where are the chicken thighs battered in-house? I'm hoping I just had a poor experience. In their defense, we ordered 45 minutes until close. read more

Reading other reviews makes me laugh because it just confirms how silly and irrational humans have become regarding customer service and expectations. People, it is YOUR choice to be lazy and eat out.. it's your choice to take the easy route in life and have other people prepare and cook your food, package the food, and exchange labor for money.... Part of that is experience means that every place you visit will be different (different cooks, different processes, different recipes and levels of spice.... Etc...) Assuming risks and understanding expectations, I have to say that I absolutely loved this place! The food was good, the service with great with attentive AND FRIENDLY staff, and the temperate (on an extremely hot and humid day) was very comfortable. The restaurant was obviously locally owned, so I don't expect cookie cutter, corporate use of toxic chemicals....... which is my preferred environment.. the food was warm-hot, tasty, and I don't mind asking my server for hot sauce instead of making an assumption that they'll just waste several bottles on people who may not want hot sauce. I had to leave this detailed review out of respect for the hard working staff here. People have really raised their expectations and expect world class top tier service at family owned businesses and then are so quick to trash business reputations because of things like "I had to ask them for hot sauce so I gave them three stars" or "my ramen was warm instead of hot, so I gave them a one star!" Or "I had to wait 10 minutes on my app" hahaha read more

Since finding this restaurant in Little Rock, I don't have to make the drive to Dallas to get good Ramen. Call me crazy, but I did it. Several times. The Miso Ramen with Tofu is my FAVORITE!!! The Gyoza Dumplings are my 2nd favorite!!! Eat at this restaurant several times in a week. The music is always good too. If you eat there and see a chick dancing and eating, what's up.. that's ME!! read more

We ordered shoyu chicken ramen, curry rice bowl,vegetable and tofu rice and chicken karaage. They are generous with salt! Every chicken is too salty, the veggies are too salty. Service was fast so you know it's not freshly done. Too much for the price compare to the ones we tried with the same price but not the same quality. The ambiance is ok read more

Before you see the stars and say, WHAT HOW COULD YOU?! I am from NorCal, an area with not only more diversity but also a much larger Asian population. Ramen is something easily found thoughtout California. Husband heard about this spot from a coworker who used to be stationed at Yokota. The claim was that this joint was as authentic as it gets. Well, I mean it is partly correct. It is the best ramen spot out here, given that there are maybe 2 or 3 spots total that serve ramen in all of Arkansas. The staff here is primarily Malaysian, with the cook being Japanese (there may be more, there was only 1 during lunch rush when we came). This spot is easy to spot in the same shopping center as Star of India in WLR. We were seated right away since we opted for the bar. Small menu available, and a paper menu in a stand with specials on it. One thing I noticed right away: black garlic oil is extra. Yep. It is extra. Husband ordered the curry ramen and I opted for Cha Siu Ramen. I noticed that the shoyu ramen is described as a chicken broth, instead of a soy sauce base? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ the one I ordered is tonkotsu, or pork bone broth. It was pretty good, it is the best you're gonna get in this area. As far as the authenticity claim? I mean like I said, it's the closest to real ramen you can get in Arkansas, but it doesn't compare to the ramen I've had back home. No, I have not been in Japan like husband's coworkers, but pretty sure the Japanese restaurants in California are closer to what I would expect to have in Japan (and of course going off friend recommendations and comparisons)... so compare this to an authentic experience is a stretch. Pretty decent joint, good food for the price, and customer service is nice. read more

Was in town visiting USAF son and daughter-in-law and they wanted to try this place. I am shocked to find such a great ramen joint in Arkansas! The location is intimate, but we had no problem getting seats as we arrived just before the lunch rush. The service was fantastic and the food even better! We tried just about every appetizer and liked them all! The portions were large and everything was fresh. If I had a complaint, it is minor, but my egg was overcooked because I like just a little bit of runny yolk (see, minor!). We all enjoyed it and think you will too! read more
