    Spicy salmon nacho
    Cecilia G.

    I came in to order take away, I placed my order (shiitake mushroom buns, vegetable egg rolls and spicy salmon poke nachos) with a young girl at the front. The food was ready quickly and I went home straightaway. When I tried the egg rolls and buns I was not impressed, mediocre at best. The big issue was the salmon in the poke nachos; the smell was off and after one bite I decided not to eat anything else fearing I'd get sick. I called to let them know about my concerns and was told the spicy salmon mix in was "fresh" made a "few days ago". They said they don't do refunds and told me I could bring the food back and exchange it for something else. I'm sad to leave this review because it seemed like a family owned and ran place.

    Oh my gosh! What a hidden gem! We tried Asuka last night for ramen and the broth was some of the most flavorful broth I've had. It was a nice balance - not too heavy or light. I ordered a spicy chicken ramen and my partner ordered tonkotsu. Our soup came out fast. The spicy chicken was mild spicy with a good amount of tender grilled chicken. They also add crunchy garlic in the soup giving it additional flavor. The noodles were chewy and good. The tonkotsu had a hearty pork flavor and the pork pieces were so tender they were falling apart as we ate them. Very yummy! The inside is small with just a few tables and booths. This is a good place to come for a quick meal with just a few folks or order takeout. No alcohol, beer, or wine. They have fountain soda and a few Japanese soft drinks and teas in cans/bottles. They also serve poke, dry noodle dishes, and a lot of appetizers. This spot is vegetarian friendly with multiple vegetarian ramen dishes on the menu!

    Duck fried rice and tonkatsu ramen

    This was our first visit here and we were pleasantly happy with the quality and service provided. It's located next to a taco shop and they share a small parking lot. Upon entering you can order and seat yourself. They'll bring your food directly to your table. We had a large party but they were able to accommodate all of us. We ordered the spinach cheese wonton and chicken kaarge as appetizers. For our meals, we tried the tonkatsu (regular) and spicy tonkatsu, duck fried rice and shrimp fried rice. The portions for the fried rice were generous so it was good for two people. Wait time wasn't long and everything tasted great. We'll definitely be back here to try their poke and other specials.

    Pork Belly Bun(2) & Chicken Karaage
    Ryan K.

    Tried Asuka Ramen Poke in Arvada for a lunch delivery to our office--first time ordering after a colleague recommended it, and it didn't disappoint. We had the Pork Belly Buns and Chicken Karaage--both were packed with incredible flavor and came in generous portion sizes. The online ordering process was simple and quick, and the delivery driver was kind and arrived earlier than expected. Everything came fresh and well-prepared. Very happy with the entire experience--we'll definitely be ordering again!

    Tonkotsu "Ramen"

    Ordered delivery from here tonight and everything went straight to the trash. We were so disappointed we spent the money just to throw away. Both ramens tasted like water and rotten cream. Had to throw away outside because the smell was so bad.

    Spicy Chicken Ramen
    Scott G.

    Came here because of yelp reviews and man it hit the spot. I had the spicy chicken ramen and my wife had the chicken udon bowl and both were amazing! This place is a must try!! Also had the pork belly buns and they were amazing!

    4 Duck Wings
    Cynthia E.

    I had the spicy tonkatsu ramen. I was intrigued by the brightness of the tonkatsu broth, and it was delicious! The noodles were also excellent and my second favorite part was the bamboo. We also had duck wings, and they reminded me of chicken legs. Nice and crispy. That was a first for me and I definitely want to try that again! Really enjoyed my time here. The staff is really friendly and the person who served us said they've been open for a month and a half. She loved the duck wings as much as we did! This is a small quaint little shop - even though I think it's a chain - I highly recommend it if you like Ramen :)

    One of the first ramen places I went to when I first came here to Denver 5 years ago. The idea of…read moreramen-Vietnamese flavor combo was fascinating, and Sera's Ramen Enclave did not dissapoint. I've tried all the ramen on their menu and everyone is super tasty. Some highlights: The Flavorsome, their signature, is so good. Rich and beefy with tender oxtail. Get it with the chili paste (which is properly spicy) for a good kick. The Saigon Curry is nice and cozy, perfect for a winter day. It also happens to taste exactly like the Vietnamese style curry I enjoyed when I was younger. The remaining options are nothing to scoff at either. Both the Pork Belly (tonkotsu style) and the Dashi are more traditional, but tasty nonetheless.

    5 stars across the board…read more We were literally at Stella next door the night before and I heard there was gonna be cold rain the next day. So we decided to get a hot bowl of ramen to clear ourselves right up. I have to admit while we have had pretty good ramen in Colorado nothing has blown us away. This place did just that. If you are looking for the most authentic bowl of ramen anywhere within a 20-30 Radius of Denver this is your spot. I got the sesame pork belly ramen bowl and my wife the chicken dashi and both were spectacular. I know this sounds like a lot of exaggerating but no notes. Seriously ZERO! Take all my money whoever you are, Sera! PS I'm very impressed the other reviewers had enough self control to take pictures before they ate. Our food didn't stand a chance.

The noodles had a good chew, the broth is not too salty and creamy.... The toppings were delicious w good amount of spinach and menma, the poached egg runny - everyone was perfect for the ramen. I wished the pork/charsiu were sliced slightly thicker. It was nicely torch-seared. Service was decent, it is a self service restaurant for the most part, you order and they bring it to your table. The takoyaki was not freshly made but it had a crunch. The best part was their chicken karaage, such fluffy and airy coating and so nicely fried. Typically I'm used to a jammy soft boiled egg but those can be hard to make right and take more time to peel the shells. I do think the poached egg was tasty but an easy way out for a ramen shop. Def shocked that they were quite good in a strip mall, but I might have judged the book cover. Wished they had some cold beer or hot sake to go with the karaage for sure, I would never leave.

In my opinion, Mizu was probably one of the better Japanese options back in the day. However, with so many other good spots now, especially with Kawa Ni close by with a better izakaya hang out spot, it's not as attractive of an option, especially given the higher price. It really is not a restaurant that specializes in any particular food, but is certainly a crowd pleaser if you have people that want different things.
