Everytime I come here, the food is always consistently amazing. I always get the Tonkotsu ramen! The egg is cooked to perfection, still soft but hard enough to keep it's shape, the meat is always so incredibly tender you don't even need a butter knife to cut it, and the broth is always astonishingly good. And the Chashu Bun?? This is the only appetizer i'll order at a restaurant. They are SO good everytime; The meat is always so ridiculously tender, juicy, and flavorful. I'm not usually one to enjoy a lot of sauce, but it's so good I can't get enough of it. Compared to all of the other ramen places in Utah i've been to, this one stands out 100% for it's quality and consistency. Would recommend for everyone! read more

Best ramen i have had in Utah Valley! Good variety of booths and appetizers. Only downside is a bit small so can be hard to get in at busy times. read more

Food was great. Miso ramen was made with a delicious chicken and miso broth. Unfortunately the menu photo included slices of meat, but there was no meat in the bowl, just half an egg. But, this was still very good. Fried chicken thigh bites/karaage was very good- perfect tempura with a savory sauce. Service was great. Restaurant was clean. read more

So good! Love the ramen and appetizers. Service is great and price is so reasonable. Food came out quick, loved my ramen and the gyoza was delicious. read more

Probably the best ramen I have ever had in Utah. The Tonkatsu broth was amazing and I added black garlic oil which added another depth of flavor. The Chasu meat was very tender with just the right braising on the outside. I also tried the Karai (spicy minced Pork) which wasn't overly spicy but had a nice slight kick. Fast and friendly service. Cozy interior and bit loud but very food place for ramen. I'll be back. read more

The ramen was good BUT the whole place smelled like a dirty bathroom. I felt gross eating in a stinky place. I've been here before & never noticed. Then I started looking around, the ceiling and vents were filthy with dust clumps hangout out of every vent. Probably my last visit. Imagine what the kitchen looks like if the restaurant (and bathrooms) are so bad. Bummer. The used to really like this place. 2 stars- because the food tasted ok, read more

The ramen here is amazing! I love the miso ramen and my boyfriend likes the tonkatsu ramen. The spring rolls and gyoza are also yummy. The service is great, Jessica is a great server who seems to run most if not all of the tables every time I've been there. The place is clean and cozy, definitely a staple ramen spot in this area! read more

Good ramen.. although last time I was there their air conditioner was broken and it was super hot

I just went through thinking that good Japanese style ramen cannot be easily made in the US, (see my Portland Afuri review), then I came across this little place. We were traveling and we were looking for some place to eat. The nearest place with high marks was Asa Ramen. Well, I am always in for ramen, but always not expecting much. This little tiny shop was nothing to look at so I went in not expecting much. Inside, most of the workers all looked to be college type students - working their first jobs. They had a tonkotsu ramen which everyone ordered. Believe me, I was not expecting much. When I asked for the bamboo shoots (menma), they had no idea what it was and I heard them keep talking and asking about what it was. When we got the bowl, it looked pretty good! Everyone was enjoying it and I have to admit the broth was among the best I have tasted in the US. It was smooth and rich and had great flavor! When I ate some noodles, which were cooked perfectly, I felt the noodles were maybe a bit thick or that they were not "grabbing" onto the broth as well as they could have. Another issue was that the egg was slightly overcooked, however, upon tasting it, it was very good. I'm going to say that while the workers may not have known that much about ramen, whoever is in the kitchen is very knowledgeable and has managed to produce one of the best tonkotsu ramen broth I have tasted in the US and makes me think that a really good bowl of ramen CAN exist here. The broth itself was better than pretty much every place I have tasted in Hawaii. Really good! With an adjustment to the noodles and a minor tweak on the egg, this is a superior ramen. Oh, did I mention that they char the chashu using a blowtorch before serving? It adds to the flavor and adding a little chili oil to this ramen took it up a notch too! read more

Unbeatable prices for ramen in the Salt Lake + Provo area! They even do half-size ramen for those who have a smaller appetite. If you like chashu, their chashu ramen gives a lot of meat! The restaurant is small, so sometimes the wait can be long. Join on Yelp waitlist! They don't take phone orders, but you can order takeout on their website. read more

Amazing Ramen! With a cool atmosphere. Highly recommend! The service is great! Will be coming back

It was my friend's birthday dinner, and it was just the two of us. The restaurant was full and steamy on this cold winter night. We were quickly seated at the bar and were given waters and ordered shortly there after. To view the menu you need to scan a QR code. I had the Tonkotsu Ramen and the Tayoyaki and my friend ordered some Chashu Buns and Gyoza to share. Tayoyaki was better than the stuff I had previous, it was very crisp on the outside but the right amount of chewy smooshy goodness on the inside. The Gyoza was crispy had a nice texture. But the real star of the show was the Chashu Buns very pillowy, and the sauce was excellent and the meat at the perfect ratio of fat to meat. When our Ramen arrived, I was glad I ordered a half bowl because I was already full from our appetizers. It was just as I remembered, I'm not a connoisseur of Ramen but it seemed fine. A word to the wise and the reason I gave the restaurant 3 stars was that their restrooms are not in good shape. The family bathroom I was in, the toilet paper holder was only connected to the wall on one side, causing the paper to lay on the floor. Gross. The state of cleanliness was not great either. read more

Ordered 2 of the chasu blend on door dash. As soon as we opened the broth the smell hit me. It smelled like wet dog or rotting meat. We've ate here before and it was great, but this will definitely deter us from going back. read more

Asa Ramen really is one of our hidden gems in Utah County. I still have yet to find a ramen that is better in our valley. And it's still reasonably priced! I also appreciate that they have full size and half size options. The half size is plenty enough for me. Especially since I want some of their appetizers are well because their appetizers are delicious. Their gyoza are some of the best around. Shrimp tempura is lightly battered and crisp. Service has always been very helpful and upbeat. So glad we have Asa here! read more

Classic place to grab a quick bite to eat. Karage with their shoyu ramen is a perfect combo. They're a smaller sized restaurant so parties bigger than 4 will have to wait a tad. They also have a waitlist so you can reserve seats ahead of time! I always do this so I don't have to wait with the kiddos. read more

You're not sad... you just haven't had your Asa Ramen yet! My favorite ramen joint in Utah! read more

Asa Ramen - Tonkatsu - Ramen Near Me - Orem, Utah

Wow, I freakin love this place. It has been the loveliest little ramen shop I have found so far in Utah and is so affordable yet delicious. The lunch special is so worth it in my opinion for a bowl of ramen, an appetizer, and a drink. The service was amazing, the server taught my friends and I on how to fold a chopstick holder with the wrapper, pretty groovy if you ask me. The atmosphere is small and intimate as well; there are regular tables and even a bar area to sit at. This place is 10000% part of the restaurant rotation for me. ** note that the kitchen is closed from like 3pm to 5pm ** read more

Delicious broth! Fresh food! Yummy mochi! Knowledgable and friendly staff. A small, but mighty place! You can't go wrong with them! We took some ramen home and their pork belly sandwich & my husband was floored by how good it was! We will return! read more

This place has some of the best ramen for a reasonable price. Ive been here a few times and just went back for my birthday and everything I got was bomb! The seaweed salad was the best I've had it was super fresh. The gyoza was delicious and the green tea cheesecake was the perfect cherry topper to the meal! I always get the Tonkotsu broth it did feel less umami than usual but easy fix with some pieces of seaweed in there! The service from our waitress Jessica was also excellent I definitely recommend this place! Just get there before a rush cause not a lot of seating. read more

Asa Ramen - TONKOSTU RAMEN - Ramen Near Me - Orem, Utah

The ramen here is so legit. The broth is flavorable and a great depth of pork richness(tonkotsu), the portion is great compared to the price. The staff is super friendly and accommodating. read more

OK, full disclosure this is not the best ramen I've ever had. The noodles were slightly too chewy in my opinion and the broth was a little on the salty side. HOWEVER, the owner (I think their name was Jess?) is literally the sweetest human on the planet. They were so friendly with everyone and made extra effort to interact with customers. The broth itself tasted really good, it was just a little too salty and I wasn't able to finish it due to that. Everything was prepared quickly which was awesome. I will say I don't think the restaurant has AC, we were legit sweating while we were seated there eating hot soup which isn't the most fun lol. A lot of the vents in the restaurant looked super sus (they were covered with like 5 inches of lint.) Go check this place out and meet the owner! It's a fun place to try! read more

The food was so great here. It's hard to find good food in Utah from just reviews. Most people look at trend over taste. I got the miso ramen and gyoza which were so tasty. The gyoza is a good appetizer for two. The sauce was tasty and the crunch was perfect. The miso ramen meat was so tender and the fat had a lot of flavor which I don't normally eat but this time I did. I liked that the service asked if I wanted ice or not in my water because I hate ice so definitely appreciated it! This place is small and cozy and I will definitely be coming back. read more

Pretty good ramen place. I had the korokke and miso ramen. The korokke were piping hot and very tasty, the miso ramen broth was very good, and the chashu, egg and negi were all just right. I'm not a big fan of kikurage, but it's there. The noodles were a wee bit too tough for my taste, but overalls it was still good. I'd come back. read more

No ice for 6 months and no cold sodas! Goodness where do I start. The staff is 5 Estrellas. Estrellas translates to stars if You "no habla espanhol". Seriously the food is great and it would get cinco estrellas except the drinks are not cold. People they gots no ice and the canned sodas are like...lukewarm. M&$@*! Crapper, this has been like that for almost 6 months now, beyond ridiculous!!! I refuse to come back until they actually fix that. Sheesh y'all let's get some ice and drink refrigeration going over here! Note to the owner: You've saved money on the building and the rent. So spend it on the ice! Por favor. read more

Asa Ramen - a storefront with a red awning - Ramen Near Me - Orem, Utah

No frills japanese ramen shop that reminded me of the ramen stands in Japan that serves a quick "health-ish" fast food. We got the shoyu and the miso, but enjoyed mixing the two together as the miso didn't have a richness that you'll typically find in other shops. However, that being said, I did prefer that it was more diluted as you don't get overwhelmed and tired of the flavors by the end of the bowl. For the price point, it hit the spot on a rainy/snowy evening in Utah read more

Great ramen, fantastic flavor. They gave a really great portion size too! I wasn't so impressed with the interior situation, it's pretty cramped and loud. Luckily, we were at the bar away from everyone else. The ramen itself was great! Service was a little bit slow, mostly due to the busy interior I assume. Loved the tonkatsu with the corn! read more

The worst service I have had in years. They do not offer military discount. When I ordered takeout, I declined to tip... before I got any food... it went completely downhill from there. The rudest employee ever. He told me to move from the counter... that it was reserved for "future patrons".... Not a single other person was sitting at the counter. I politely refused, indicating that I would not sit on the bench as I had a broken back... he then told me to sit on a chair with a low back... again... No. not sure how this place stays in business. Last time I will ever come. Just got back to the hotel.... Add to the employee passive aggressive behavior... he didn't put a spoon in the bag for the soup... chopsticks-yes. Fork-also a no. read more

I was very excited to try the Ramen after our hot spring experience with two of my buddies. We arrived there at 9:20 PM and they refused to serve us because they said the dishwasher is gone for the day. However, people were at the restaurant still eating with dishes on their table And I even offered we could have to go boxes to eat there and they said they were closed why are they advertising at 10 PM closing? What at 9:20 they are closing up shop and not taking orders very poor experience and that's the reason why I moved out of Utah because the service is not there. read more

Truly my favorite restaurant in the world. Fell in love with it the first time I tried it, and haven't had ramen of this quality anywhere else. I've since moved from Utah, but if I'm even remotely close I make the effort to visit. Then I get sad because I don't know when the next time I'll have it is. I get the gyoza and the tonkotsu/shoyu blend ramen, and I add a little bit of soy sauce and chilli oil to it. But honestly everything here is fantastic. Cannot recommend enough. read more

Probably some of the best Ramen you're going to find here in Utah. Server was very attentive and restaurant was kept very clean. The overall ambience side of the restaurant was good happy cheerful, and smelled delicious. But the best part about this place is the food. The Ramen is some of the best things you can eat. I would highly recommend getting extra noodles so that you can take the broth home with you for another meal. It's so good! read more
