Five Stars -- A Must‑Try in Downtown Salem!…read more My wife and I stopped by Akai Ramen yesterday, and this spot absolutely delivered. We ordered the shrimp fried rice, hot gemai tea, cucumbers, fresh salad, and the seafood ramen -- every single dish came out flavorful, balanced, and clearly made with care. The portions were generous, and the prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality. The service was immaculate from start to finish. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming -- the kind of hospitality that makes you want to come back before you've even left. The decor is clean and modern with plenty of seating, creating a relaxed atmosphere perfect for a date, a family meal, or a quick bite. Yes, you do have to pay for parking in downtown Salem, but once you're inside, the food, the vibe, and the service make it more than worth it. If you're anywhere near Salem, I highly recommend stopping by. Akai Ramen is doing everything right -- great food, great people, great experience. Five stars all day.

The miso soup was perfect: slightly salty with a smattering of green onion and tofu. The sushi was great! It was very rich and delicious. There wasn't too much rice! 4 rolls for 4 people was perfect. Prices weren't cheap, but weren't overly expensive, considering the sushi and the quality.

The food is delicious and packaged very thoughtfully. We got katsu curry, Gomoku Udon, and chicken karage. All are fantastic. Curry has rich flavor and the katsu is perfectly breaded and fried. Dashi broth is seasoned well with an intense fish flavor. Noodles were cooked just right. Chicken karage was a little on the dark side, but still had great flavor. Service was prompt and he was the nicest gentleman! Blink and you might miss it, the location is pretty hidden in a parking lot. Definitely support this small business if you like Japanese cuisine, you will not be disappointed!
