Literally looked like you fell into a different world… black and white sketches on the walls and the tables and chairs looked sketched in. Aweeeeesome! My family and I enjoy 5 flavorful dishes. Portions were VERY nice! Meet to rice ration, on point! Affordable. We dined in..had to. Food and Service was 5 star. Just have patience… everything was cooked fresh. We did not try any drinks this time however, they do have ice water with cups available. : ) Thank you Alpha Ramen. We will be back for the Ramen!
Unique Ramen spot in Asia Town! Lots of ramen options or you can build your own bowl! They also serve appetizers and boba or tea. It was a pleasant experience with good service and the atmosphere feels so unique! The ramen was delicious and I had the ground pork it was delicious! Will be back.
truly some of the best ramen i’ve ever had. the menu is really diverse and very customizable. some of the best ramen in cleveland for sure.
The food was amazing. Very authentic. You can build your own dish if you don't want a house specialty. I got miso with chicken and soft boiled eggs with scallions, a side of edamame and chicken gyoza. So amazing !
Was making a trip to the KOKO Bakery and spotted this little gem across the street. So my bro and I strolled on over and got some ramen to go. Wow! I LOVED the cartoon-style decorum. As an artist, it really gave the place character. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen and Takoyaki, and my bro got the Mega Ramen. HOLY MACARONI! The presentation of the ramen blew me away, and when we added the broth to our bowls.....it was a done deal. That first bite we took....sent us to HEAVEN! This was LEGIT! FLAVORFUL chicken, garlic broth with springy fresh ramen noodles, delicious fish cakes, and tofu. My brother's was worth the money - big shrimp with all the fixings in a 'succulent' pork broth (his words). Put us in a food coma! This ain't no Maruchan, baby! 10 OUT OF 10, WE'LL BE BACK AGAIN!
Im loving it!!! Top notch authentic soups here!! Omgosh, I'm soooo glad I stumbled upon this hidden gem. Cute little restaurant with some flavors that's out of this world!!! I highly recommend the curry beef udon!!! It's outstanding!!!! The curry is so good that I can't even explain how good it was, lol. There's nothing like Japanese curry, it is all I can say!! Mmmm, mmmm mmm! Can't wait to come back for another bowl and try the ramen. They have rice bowls as well. If you're in Asian town, stop by and try a bowl. I bet you won't regret it, lol!
Quick and super tasty! While the combo is not on their menu explicitly if you ask they will still give it to you! Lovely place for a date lunch with partner. Will come back!
Hidden gem-Definitely one of my TOP ramen spots in Cleveland! The takoyaki is a MUST, the balls are big (pretty nice portion for the price) it was perfectly soft/chewy! The service was good and the front desk lady was very sweet. I got the tonkatsu ramen, the pork broth was delicious and the toppings paired well. I got the chicken skewers and they were seasoned well. The mango passionfruit lemonade bubble tea was good- the tapiocas pearls (boba) were perfectly chewy and the lemonade was not too sour! The place itself is also aesthetically looking- and the service was fast. Street parking is recommended. Definitely a place to get a quick bite/try out! Overall 9/10!
