    Vegetarian ramen with black broth base (vegan)
    Matt B.

    With AKD ramen having recently closed down in New West, I was glad to see this place still around. This place gets busy. Luckily, you can join their waiting list through Google without having to go to the restaurant first. I tried the place out because they have a vegan ramen ($16.50). With all their ramens, you choose either a white (like a shio), black (like a shoyu), or red (miso) broth base. I got the black broth, and ordered a side of cold tofu ($5.25) since there's no protein in the vegan ramen. The tofu came out in about 5 minutes: 5 slices of soft tofu with some interesting, crispy garnishes. Nothing too exciting but pleasant appetizer. The ramen came out after another 5 minutes (as I was finishing the tofu). The broth was very rich and salty in a good way, with plenty of depth. The dish came with plenty of thin, well-cooked noodles, corn, cabbage, you choy, carrot, and green onions. I wish they'd add tofu or other vegan protein. Despite this gripe, this was an excellent bowl of ramen. Excellent place.

    Visiting Canada, my relatives, they recommended this place and it wasn't a disappointment. It was very delicious Ramen! Will come back again when I visit Canada again.

    A tiny restaurant yet big flavours at an unexpected location. Pretty well executed ramen with a broth which had a great velvety texture and the soy seasoning was a must get. The garnishes were nice complements, fresh, and the properly prepared soy marinated egg with its tantalizing egg yolk jewel was a great touch. The protein could be slightly more tender but otherwise the char from the BBQ was prominent on the nose and went well with the broth. Definitely worth a second visit.

    Boy was I impressed coming to eat at Akedo. A friend and I just happened to be in the neighbourhood running some errands. The initial place we went to was closed and we were looking for somewhere else. I'm glad we bumped into Akedo because it was amazingly delicious. The broth was so rich (which you can adjust if it's not your thing), with a healthy portion of meat. Usually when I'm having ramen, it's 3 pieces of meat which isn't enough for me. The servers were kind and fast. The place is not super big, but not too small. It was busy and we happened to snag the last table available so we didn't have to wait. Really recommend Akedo, I will definitely be back!

    Loved the other location in New West so I was excited to try out the Langley outlet. I had the Ajitama Ramen and it had waaaayyy more slices of chicken than I thought there would be which was a pleasant surprise. The soup was tasty and super flavourful as well. I like that there is the option to make it spicy for just $0.70 more! Oh and the gyoza is to die for! They use the same recipe and techniques as they have been doing in Wakayama, Japan for 20 years!

    Came on a Thursday and there were a few tables available. It was the dead of summer today but they had AC unlike some ramen joints downtown. AC is def a must for me to enjoy ramen in soup in the summer. Had the Ajitama black ($14) which was such a good choice for me. I wasn't sure about the soy base since most places had their soy base quite salty but this was just right. There was also black garlic oil in the bowl. Noodles were the thin ones cooked al dente. Kaedama is $2. The broth was rich and flavourful but it didn't feel super heavy when I was done. Service was fast and efficient. Restaurant was very clean and tidy. Great place for a quick meal when you're in the area.

    We've been dying to try this place but was never able to because of their hours of operations, but we finally got a chance on a weekday evening! We ended up waiting for 40-45 min. Service was mediocre but it was almost the end of the night so some servers looked tired. We ordered the deep fried gyoza (I can't comment because I didn't try it), black original ramen (I can't comment because I didn't try it), white ajitama ramen, and chicken karaage. Prices are decent around $25 per person. The white broth was quite light and had a hint of ginger and seafood flavour. While I appreciate the no msg broth, I found the flavour a bit bland and lacking in depth. The egg was well marinated with a runny yolk which I like. I'm usually not a fan of thin noodles, but these were nice texturally - not too chewy/soft/hard. The description of the ramen says "bbq chicken chashu" and while the chashu was very soft, we didn't understand what the "bbq" aspect was. We were expecting some sort of charred chashu but it looked like sous vide chicken. The chicken karaage was juicy and not overly battered with too much skin. It was served with 2 types of salt on the side. Again, I found the chicken bland. I wanted some sort of flavour and not necessarily dip it in the side of salt. All in all, the meal was subpar and not worth the wait. I think I would wait around 15 min at most. Unfortunately, I got a stomach ache after the meal and ended up on the toilet a few times when I got home (sorry TMI!)

    Their broth was rich but creamy and smooth. It is made from chicken, veggies and spices. No msg As well their noodles are custom made. Staff was nice service was quick. Not too many seats but quick turnover. Meat Lovers - BBQ Chicken chashu , Pork chashu, chinese greens, green onion Ajitama - BBQ Chicken chashu, Chinese greens, Green onion, egg

    You need to visit Akedo! We had gone hoping to beat the noon lunch rush but so had everyone else it seemed! It's a busy ramen joint and I can see why! The noodle texture was perfect - nice amount of chew and I always like to order refill to soak up that extra broth. They have good portions and affordable pricing so you really can't go wrong. Ask for their stamp card for those perks after a certain number of visits too!

    Ajitama - $12.65 in the front, Meat Lovers with added nori - $14.45 in the back.

    Unpopular opinion - I'm not huge on ramen and so there are only a very few places that I'll actually go to for ramen. Everyone has their own preferences on broth and noodle thickness and Akedo hits the spot for me. The only thing is, the chicken chashu is dry but at no fault of their own as chicken (chashu) is generally dry and hard to make juicy. Pro tip - get their chili oil. Add an egg. And the pork chashu. And the gyoza. Maybe just order one of everything on the menu. Check out their section location in New West for some curry and more ramen.

    Dropped by to try out this relatively new ramen spot in Langley and it was great! Coming back from Japan, I didn't think that ramen here would satisfy me the same way but I actually really enjoyed the ramen here at Akedo and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. With any of their ramen, you can choose from 3 different broths: white (shio), black (shoyu), and red (miso). I got the Ajitama White Ramen ($12.45) which had BBQ chicken chashu, yu choy vegetables, green onions, and an ajitama egg. It was really yummy and comforting. The ramen came out very hot which is what I expect from any type of soup noodle dish. What I like about their ramen is that it's also different from the majority of ramen shops which serve pork broth - this one was chicken! It's lighter compared to other broths but still packed a punch of flavour. It was also chicken chashu instead of the regular pork chashu. I've had chicken chashu before at other places which is usually dry and bland but I'm happy to say that Akedo's was not like this at all! It was very flavourful with a strong BBQ taste and it was perfectly cooked - very tender without completely falling apart. We also got Gyoza to share. They're not your typical gyoza - they're a lot thinner. I think they're supposed to be crispy but ours weren't super crispy. They were good too but nothing to really rave about. I wish they had more filling and had more texture. Nevertheless, the ramen was the true star of the meal and I highly recommend trying it out!

    We came here around 6pm on a Saturday and got lucky! After a few people came after us, they were sold out and done for the day! We waited around 30 minutes in the line but it was all worth it! It was our first time coming to this shop. Like most ramen places, if there's a line up outside, be sure to look out for a sign up sheet, and write your name down - this is their system for lining up guests! As we came in as the shop was just about to sell out, my first impression of how the staff managed the line up the was not as impressive. The staff had a conversation with the last group on the sign-up list first, before letting the people on top of the list get seated inside the restaurant. I felt this unreasonable and made them seem unorganized (despite the shop being open for a while now). As soon as we were seated though, everything went well! The staff were friendly and quick to attend to us (ie. gave us water as soon as we sat down, and took our order as soon as they saw we were ready). As it was our first time here, I appreciate how the staff suggested which items to get and with which additional toppings! We ordered the AJITAMA Black ramen, and it was amazing! Truly delicious! The soup base was creamy and rich, but also light enough that you can enjoy having a couple of sips during the meal. I noted that they serve a little bit less of the soup in the dish compared to other places, but it all comes together as the soup was just the right amount relative to volume of the perfectly chewy thin noodles that it came with. The chicken chasu was soft and surprisingly flavourful! They have sesame seeds, garlic chips, and chili on the side for you to add to the soup according to your preference. The serving alone is filling enough, but if you wish to have more, they also offer extra noodles on the side for an additional fee. They do note that you need to have left over soup still, as the noodles alone will not be as flavourful. We also ordered their Yuki Pari Gyoza (pan fried homemade gyoza). Their gyoza has a relatively thin skin which allowed for some crispy texture into the dish. For six pieces per order, I thought the price was reasonable. Overall, I'm glad to know there's a really good ramen shop we can now frequent in Langley onwards!

    Hidden ramen gem in the Fraser Valley. There was a little bit of a wait on a Friday night but wasn't too bad. We tried both the black and red flavours for the Ajitama and they were both great! The soft boiled egg was spot on...o so gooey! We were particularly a big fan of the aburi pork cha shu we ordered on the side which was very tasty! Would recommend!

    Ramen Bella is a good spot to visit for nice big bowl of ramen…read more I of course had the Red Hot and my daughter had the Ebi Ebi. According to my daughter hers was excellent and I have to agree the broth was rich and tasty. The Ted Hot was good and just the right amount of spice. We also ordered the karaage and the flavour was good. I bit too much fried for me. Prices are good and the place is clean.

    Short Review: The…read morehomely but Japanese-inspired decor is nice for this restaurant. They followed all COVID-19 precautions, and It's a fair price for a large bowl of ramen. I ordered the "Red Hot" ramen, and I can't say the soup base is the most flavourful, mainly due to the spice ratio being slightly too much, but it's tasty nonetheless. If you live in Port Coquitlam, this place is worth a try. Long review: Ramen Bella recently opened up its second location in Port Coquitlam, and took over the Mexican gourmet that used to be there. This restaurant has got a great atmosphere, although it's quite quaint and still keeps the old tiling from the Mexican establishment, it fits it nicely although I can't say I feel like I'm sitting in an underground ramen shop in Shibuya. All staff followed COVID-19 procedures, wearing masks and practiced social distancing to the best of their abilities, they disinfected tables and chairs after people left and overall made the dining experience feel safe. We ordered, and our food came to us in less than five minutes, Igot the red hot ramen, and I gotta say it was pretty good. Usually spicy ramen ends up just being spicy and totally overpowering the broth flavour. I can't say the ratio was absolutely perfect, but it was a lot better than most other places. The portion size was great, but I'm not sure how I feel about bok choy and wonton crisps in ramen. The noodles tasted like good quality ramen noodles, but not home-made at the restaurant. This was quite minor but my soup didn't really come out to me piping hot, and more just hot in some spots and warm in others. I trust that it was a mistake considering my lady friends bowl was totally hot though. The gyoza we ordered with our meals was quite tasty. The pork and chives filling was what you'd expect for a restaurant like this, and the size of them was eatable in about two bites. These were super hot, so let them cool off for about a minute before you dig in! Overall if you live in the Tri-cities or Port Coquitlam, this is your best bet for ramen if you don't want to travel out to Vancouver. I think they should change the soup base to spicy ratio in the Red Hot bowl, to give it a little more flavour. Overall, this place has a lot of potential to be great, but for now, i give it a 3.5/5.

Tonight I Had my sister pick up our order that I placed over the phone for 3 tonkatsu ramens (2 black garlic). Been our favorite dish there for a long time and always loved it. After she got home with the order we realized that there was absolutely no chasu (pork) in any of our 3 dishes. I called the store, and asked them about it and they offered an 8$ refund or extras for next time we came in. We live 30 minutes away. Not exactly like we could easily come back and get the pork or a re-fire of the dish, but that wasn't even offered to us. In their website, they charge 3.5$ for extra chasu. So they didn't even offer us the amount they charge for the protein. After discussing this I called them back to try and explain the frustration we had with this and was entirely dismissed by their manager. When I told her they charge 3.5$ for additional pork she didn't even know the cost, and then offered to give me 11$ refund, because I had received 55$/65$ of food I ordered. I didn't though. I ordered a pork ramen, and didn't receive the primary part of that order. If I wanted a vegetable option I would have picked that. She insisted that there wasn't any other option. Food is good, but if they make it wrong it's not their problem. Terrible customer service. Don't go here.
