To be honest, this place probably deserves closer to three stars, but I didn't quite have the heart to rate it that low. I know firsthand how challenging it can be for small business owners--especially immigrant-owned businesses. That said, there were several shortcomings that affected our experience. The issues started when ordering. There were two vegetarians in our group, and while many of the ramen dishes listed an option to add vegetables, I wanted to confirm whether the broth itself was vegetarian. Unfortunately, our server repeatedly said she didn't know and didn't offer to check with the kitchen. One ramen listed a miso broth, which is typically vegetarian, but when I asked about that specifically, I received the same response. To be safe, we ordered the clearly labeled vegetarian ramen, while my husband ordered the miso ramen. His dish arrived almost immediately, while the rest of us waited at least 15 minutes longer. When his ramen was delivered, there was no explanation or indication that ours was coming shortly. He tried to eat slowly so we could eat together, but he was nearly finished by the time our bowls arrived. One other small but noticeable issue: it was around Christmas, and the holiday music playlist was extremely limited. We heard the same songs rotate four times, which became a bit distracting. My advice would be to invest more in server training, especially around menu knowledge, and perhaps update the music playlist. With some improvements in service and attention to detail, this place could be much better. read more

Surprised at how good the food was since it was empty when we arrived. The tonkatsu ramen soup, which was quite tasty just a bit salty for me. We also, ordered the Singapore noodles one of my favorites. They are lacking in Asian teas. They only had Lipton black tea.... read more

Fast service on a Thursday around lunch time. Our group got two types of ramen (Tonkotsu & Korean) and shrimp & veggie tempura. The tempura green beans were my favorite, perfectly crispy without being greasy. Ramen was great, very tasty flavorful broth. Korean ramen/kimchi was spicyyyy. Was checking out the thrift store next door and will definitely stop by for some ramen again, and to try some of the other noodle dishes on the menu. read more

The ramen is delicious, brown sugar milk tea boba is even better, and the service is great as well!

Got the hells ramen. Tasted like gym socks. Poor server was sprinting the whole time and the only one working. Also took forever.

So far great service, friendly staff clean restaurant Wonderful food honestly, the atmosphere was great read more

I ordered takeout and the first thing surprise me was automated ordering not a real person, anyway I follow the instructions and I was confirmed my order and drove to the restaurant 15 minutes drive. I get there and I was greeted by a robot, followed the robot instructions and confirmed my order, then a guy asked me if I wanted to order and I said I already ordered then he proceeded to tell me that I needed to order again because the robot didn't get my order. after the robot confirmed my order and my name. Please put the robot in the garbage, customers like a real person .So far I have good service with a live person , looking forward to another visit without a robot .Keizer is not ready for an automated service. I ended up eating at MuchasGracias . read more

Special ordered tonight. Salt and Pepper Shrimp with a light starch batter that was prepared with lots of minced garlic and chili. There was heat and LOTS of flavor. Delicious! There was none of that heavy eggy flour batter. And special ordered BBQ pork fried rice with NO soy sauce, authentically done by the chef. I appreciate them stepping outside the box and cooking more traditional style Chinese food when requested. Will be back. read more

2.25 stars. I'm not sure what's going on with the ramen scene here in the extended Salem area but I really didn't enjoy this ramen. Again, it seems that the broth was the main issue here. It's not thick, rich and flavorful like the tonkatsu ramen I've tried in other cities. I ordered the "hell" version and thankfully at least the extra spice added some flavor to this otherwise incredibly bland bowl of soup. I was excited to see they offered ma po tofu until i ordered the dish. It was a combination of tofu with frozen peas and carrots in an orange sauce. This is quite different than ma po tofu I've tried in other restaurants which focus more on Schezuan peppercorn and soft tofu flavors and use a very different sauce. I assume this is a regional preparation that isn't supposed to mimic the version we see in the States? In any event, I'm pretty disappointed with ramen in the area. Hopefully, I find a second place as an alternative to Akai. read more

Food quality is the worst. We ordered Hells Ramen and Beef Curry and the beef in both are tasteless. Like it's been cooked weeks ago. Please serve your customers fresh food. Pictures look good on your website but it's the opposite when you serve it. We also ordered Asahi and Tsingtao and both beers are past the bb date. Come on, do better. read more

So good and the staff are very friendly. I do wish there was better descriptions of the different types of ramen bowls though. The pictures do not speak for themselves. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great fast service and good food. Will definitely return. Looks like a great take out place, but was not a bad place to dine-in. read more

The service was great, our waitress kept our drinks full and continued to check on us throughout the meal which was very appreciated. Restaurant was clean and lit nicely but not too bright, and we were the only ones sitting to eat the entire time we were there. Pan fried dumplings were delicious and super fluffy, would almost bet they're handmade. Almost forgot to take a picture until they were almost gone. For entrees I got the miso ramen with chicken and the chicken was so flavorful and yummy! The pork fried rice we got was pretty good, my husband wasn't a huge fan of the bean sprouts in it though. He got the Hell's spicy ramen with just noodles, soup and beef since he's not a fan of the toppings. The beef wasn't nearly as flavorful as the chicken and while the ramen had good flavor, it wasn't as spicy as the name described. Not a bad date night but probably won't go back read more

We decided to try this new place out for take out and was really happy we did! My husband was able to get Beef Pad Thai and I was able to get pork fried Rice and Orange chicken. The food was delicious! It was ready when they said it would be and just really nice people! read more

Delicious food! Great atmosphere! Excellent service! Lots of veggies and rice noodles!

It was decent ramen I don't think the noodles are house made and their is not many the broth was really good and crab Rangoon was good

The best Chicken low mein I-have ever had!! I am a grub hub driver and always pick up orders here.. tonight I thought I try an order to go..not disappointed at all!! read more

Good food as well as prompt service, friendly atmosphere! Congratulations ! I will come back with pleasure ;)

Service was fine but the food was just disappointing. For a "ramen house" they only offer 5 ramen options and the rest of the menu is generic chinese food. Taste was very bland. For their price range I expected to at least WANT to finish my food or at least take leftovers home. We won't be back read more

Staff was friendly and place was clean. Food however not. While ordering I asked the server what was inside the miso ramen and she replied, "all that. Look at the picture" The ramen broth was very unsettling and not tasteful at all. The noodles were ok. And the pork tasted like plastic. Do not recommend. read more

The food was amazing, I hadn't even actually taken a bite and the food was already amazing, the looks and the smell was already enough for me! Both of the people inside were so friendly, even answered a question I had about the food. Inside the place is very nice, not much decoration but the ambience is so warm and enjoyable! 6/5 would definitely come again and bring family plus friends! read more

The food and service were excellent at this clean cute little restaurant! I ordered the crab Rangoon as an appetizer and the Kung Pao Chicken for dinner. Both were scrumptious! My husband had the Pad Thai Shrimp and loved the unique flavors. We were treated with kindness and respect. Our service was quick. The refills on my water never let my glass get empty! My only regret is that we forgot to take a picture of the food before we ate it! We'll definitely be back! read more

Customer service was so great! Food was amazing! Singapore noodles have an incredible flavor and the noodles are really thin in a good way. Bbq pork fried rice was loaded with veges and bean sprouts it was the best fried rice Ive ever had. The honey chicken was incredible white chicken meat deep fried delicate coating and the honey liquid love served on the side so it didnt overwhelm or make the dish soggy. If you like ramen then you will be thrilled at the ramen here the broth is deeply flavored and the noodles are ramen perfection and fresh. I only ever ordered to go so Im not sure about the dining in but this place is wonderful . read more

We went for dinner on a Thursday night. My friend that came with me is a vegetarian and they were able to accommodate her with veggie ramen.

Will recommend to anyone read more

Best ramen in Keizer 100% recommend if your hungry and want some ramen/Chinese food this place is the way to go.

I went here with my sibling and it was honestly amazing. I loved the ramen and the beef in the ramen was honestly so flavorful and delicious. They had a lot of options to pick from and they all looked so good! The service was very quick and our food was delivered immediately. The waitress was very kind. The building itself was calming and was not loud at all. I liked it a lot and I felt really calm there. I totally would recommend this place. It was a nice place to just talk with my siblings and eat the lovely ramen. I loved this place and would go here again. read more
