My son's and I's favorite place! Absolutely amazing poke, ramen and thai tea tucked away in Edgewater shopping center. Such a great value too! We trek across Denver to get service by Cindy and her wonderful family who run the place. Highly recommended! read more

Asuka Ramen & Poke-Edgewater - Salmon poke bowls and Thai tea! - Ramen Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

Didn't realize they have so many locations in the Denver area... seems like this location was rated better than another location near by. We were pleasantly surprised with ramen. 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. read more

Stopped in here after a workout nearby while we charged our car in the parking lot, we also checked out the Thai place next door but this one looked better. Glad we chose this spot, i really like the tonkatsu. Simple and great flavor, exact type of Japanese curry i was craving; with the sauce warm and creamy and so well-seasoned, poured smoothly over fresh fried pork cutlet strips and white rice. I only wish it came with a little more sauce! My boyfriend tried the spicy combo bowl which also had generous portions and hit the spot. The fish is pre-mixed and a bit more minced, not in diced form, to keep in mind. Has only a handful of tables but we had no problem sitting down on a weeknight evening. Thank you! read more

I ordered dinner from here via grub hub. Half the order was missing. I called to remedy, or have it delivered again, and they said your driver clearly stole the food and take it up with grub hub. When I asked to speak to the manager the person on the phone said sorry they don't speak English so can't help. Crap excuse. Normally I would not care- if they had said "I'm sorry we will Refund that or make it right" instead of accusing the driver and refusing any solution, I would not have complained. I'm juts tired of getting ripped off and no one cares. read more

I lived in Japan a total of 13 years so I'm picky about Japanese food. (a bit of a snob I'm sorry to admit.) Asuka is pricy for ramen however it is worth it. Didn't like the wait. Loved the food and service. read more

This place is really solid!! We love ordering their ramen. The boba is not 10/10 but still pretty good! read more

LOVE THIS PLACE! Great service and amazing portions. Seriously best poke place I've found around Denver!

I have been coming here for a while and will continue, amazing food and the best service!

I got a build-your-own poke bowl with tuna. I love that you can add as many toppings as you want. The fish veggies were all fresh and tasty. It was a lot of food for $15, so great value. Ordering online was super easy and quick. read more

I was a bit skeptical of this place because it's located in a strip mall right next to target but it was delicious! I got a poke bowl. The ingredients were very good and had good flavor. There was a lot of rice in the bowl, not a whole lot of toppings were added so the portion size was a bit disproportionate for my tastes. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. They were quick to help me and I was in and out of the restaurant within 5 minutes. read more

Asuka Ramen & Poke-Edgewater - Make Build Your Own Bowl - Ramen Near Me - Edgewater, Colorado

I stopped here on a chilly night to get dinner and it was so delicious! This spot offers counter service and you can sit in the cute interior or order takeout. They have make your own poke bowls and a big selection of ramen. They offer gluten free sweet potato noodles and zucchini noodles for the ramen. You can also choose white or brown rice for the poke bowls. I ordered pork katsu curry which came with 2 pork cutlets, carrots, and potatoes. It was a lot of food. You have to try Japanese curry! It's made with apple and honey and so good! Everything tasted so delicious in this dish. My partner got the vegetarian ramen. The broth was a rich miso soy broth. It came with fried tofu, seasoned mushrooms, spinach, egg and noodles. It was so flavorful and the noodles were cooked perfectly! I'll definitely be back! TLDR: Delicious food, healthy options, vegetarian and gluten free options read more

I want to give kudos to Asuka for delivering right on time even though we don't live that close-by. Also, the ramen stayed hot and the eggs were just cooked right. However, we're talking about poached eggs here, which were a bit disappointing since Ramen is supposed to have marinated eggs! Loved the Tonkatsu Ramen and its milky broth, makes you wonder if there was real milk in there, lol. Very flavorful and rich. The duck ramen, on the other hand, was meh. From the broth to the noodles, from the duck meat to the corn kernals, nothing "clashed" in a good way. I felt like I can have a better instant noodle experience than this duck ramen. I'm sorry to not have tried the poke bowls, maybe next time! read more

Excellent poke spot, I got a build your own bowl and opted for two portions of tuna and a portion of salmon (the build your own bowl includes 2 proteins). The ingredients tasted fresh and I thought it was well worth the price. I think I paid around $20 for my bowl. The cashier had great recommendations, she had purple/pink hair! read more

Admittedly, I was a bit skeptical of a new ramen and poke restaurant in a strip mall. Not that I practice the judge a book by its cover mentality...but c'mon you never know! Luckily, Yelpers hit the nail on the head. I eat way more ramen then I do poke. However, the other night I was actually craving a poke bowl. Asuka popped up as one of the only places open in my neck of the woods, so I figured I knock out a local spot from my bookmarks. These cats are no strangers to the scene, with two Denver locations. One down E Colfax and one in Greenwood Village. The digs are simply laid out and very clean. A bright menu board spells out the ramen dishes, poke bowls, and various appetizers. The Spicy Combo Bowl - fresh ingredients are the name of the game here. I'm not expected grade A fish at a place like this when you're mixing all the ingredients together. But hell, the tuna and salmon were fresh and packed with heat. The crisp veggies were a nice touch. Plus, they put a massive portion of white rice in the bottom of the bowl. Additionally, the woman behind the counter prepared this within seconds. Fast, tasty and won't break the bank. Cheggitout! read more

I ordered ahead, and the amount of tuna in my bowl was pathetic. I was searching for it and found a couple small chunks. It was way too expensive for effectively a bowl of rice with some toppings. I hardly ever leave reviews, but this was bad. read more

Guys! Wow! I really enjoyed my ramen here! This is a lot for me to say because I'm reaaaalll picky when it comes to ramen. The last time I had delicious ramen was in Japan. My friend and I stopped in here for dinner. I ordered the pork belly buns to share and the spicy tonkotsu ramen. My friend ordered the duck ramen. The pork belly buns were good! Super cool that they stamp their logo onto the side of it. I've definitely had better pork belly buns but I thought that the sauce had good flavor and the pork was cooked nicely. The spicy tonkotsu ramen was spot on for me. It hits you with a little kick but not too much. I thought the broth was flavorful but not too salty. The chashu was delicious. Flavorful and melt in your mouth. I enjoyed the bamboo shoots and spinach. I thought they added a nice layer to the flavor profile of the broth. The eggs was cooked perfectly. The yolk was still soft (yay!). My friends duck ramen was a bit less flavorful but was still yummy. The duck was cooked well. Not overdone which I find happens a lot with duck. Overall I highly recommend this place. They are still a relatively new establishment so I could only see it improving from here on out. FYI it's an order and then sit down and they bring your food to you spot. Give it a go! read more

Huge portions all around! I've ordered poke from here through doordash several times, but this was my first time coming to the restaurant in person! Very friendly staff with lots of food to choose from. I already knew their poke was good, so I decided to try their ramen for the first time. It was pretty good, but I think their poke is much more memorable. My fiancé ordered their pork katsu curry which was ENORMOUS. He's a big guy and he barely finished it! If it was me I'd have enough to last me for at least two days worth of leftovers haha! We also shared the spicy tuna nachos which was actually quite spicy! We were way too full to finish it tho. Great place! read more

I'm so impressed with Asuka Ramen & Poke. The ramen is amazing, the staff is great, and the location is so convenient. I'm a big ramen fan, so I thought I'd check out Asuka. I had to run errands, and it was in the same shopping center, so I wanted to give it a go. So glad I did! Highly recommend the spicy miso ramen. It had just enough kick, the chicken is juicy, and the unexpected arugula and corn topped of the steaming hot bowl so well. The pork belly buns were the perfect starter to the meal. I also love that Asuka has so many options including vegetarian and vegan options (including zucchini and yam noodle options). I'm also interested in trying the poke bowls, especially since there are so many different bases. Bravo for all the awesome selections and for having so many options for different dietary needs. I was also so pleased with how quickly the food was prepared. I ordered an appetizer and 2 ramen bowls to go and it ended up being ready in 10 minutes. It was so convenient since I was in a hurry to get home. The staff was also so friendly and churned out orders quickly. The inside was closed due to COVID, but the to go set up at the front was well thought out and organized. I will definitely be ordering take out soon. read more

Giant portion size! Did pickup during times of covid. *SPICY COMBO BOWL $11 - This lasted me two days! - I typically am not a fan of crab but the spicy crab in this mixed well with the edamame and everything else PORK KATSU CURRY $11.5 - I like that the curry was in a separate container - The brown rice lasted me two and a half days! - The pork was a bit tough to bit apart Would definitely order out from here again when I don't want to cook for a couple days. read more

Asuka Ramen & Poke really hit the spot. I typically go for poke over ramen but I had just had poke a few days earlier, so I decided to try out their Spicy Tonkotsu. Wow, did I love their super creamy, rich, spicy broth! That really was the standout for me. The veggies and pork were all cooked well and the noodles were just right. But that broth is what will make me come back again to have my husband, the true ramen fan, decide his thoughts on this place! read more

The Colorado Dragon Boat Festival was happening at Sloans Lake. The original idea was to get food from a vendor there. The temperature was in the 90s and the lines of people wanting a bao or shave ice were like the ones at Disney World. Rather than risk heat stroke and high carnival prices, I searched on Yelp for ramen. Across the street was this place. The teriyaki ramen was pretty good, at $15. we also ordered to pork baos that were good. There was another table of dragon boat festival patrons who had the same idea. Plus, it was air conditioned! read more

Bottom line bad fish and attitude. NEVER come here! If you want ramen order from UNCLE! My friend said she wanted to eat katsu curry and spicy tuna as her recovery meal on New Years Day and said she found a place nearby. I wish she had told me it was Asuka before I agreed to go. I've had their poke before and it was rancid so I would not have agreed to go pick up if I had known. They apparently do ramen too and since I'm there I might as well try it since my friend won't wake up for like another hour. The ramen was Mediocre at best but WAY better than the poke. My spicy Tonkatsu ramen broth was salty and had almost no spice which is important to incorporate so you don't have to add a lot of chili oil that just ends up floating at the top. The chasu had almost no flavor. How you do that with pork I don't know but the poached egg was a nice touch. Still I'm a big girl that likes to eat and it wasn't worth the calories to finish the ramen. After my last experience with their fish I'd thought I'd try it before delivering to my friend. Spicy tuna nachos were revoltingly sweet being drowned in eel sauce and the fish was still not fresh. But not expired as it was before so good for them for not poisoning people. I asked the owner for a refund for the nachos and told her I couldn't eat it. After bringing in her son to translate and fighting over it a bit she did end up grudgingly giving me a refund and a lecture on how she was losing money. She wouldn't lose money if she stopped selling bad product, the tuna fish in particular which will only go up in price, and concentrated on improving the ramen! read more

I was really excited to try a new ramen place, unfortunately Asuka is just mediocre and less than authentic. The shop is small and clean. There is two places to order at the counter, a place for pole and a place for ramen. There is a small area for to go items and drinks across from the counter. I ordered the spicy creamy ramen and my friend ordered the pork Katsu curry bowl, we shared the gyoza. The ramen was extremely underwhelming with zero depth of flavor. It tasted like basic chicken broth, with spices put on top and then mixed it. Very bland dish even with copious amounts of Sriracha and chili powder. The broth was barely warm and not hot enough to continue to cook the egg so there was runny white floating all over the place that I had to scoop out. The chicken was overcooked and not seasoned at all. The curry pork was a better than the ramen. The pork was cooked nicely and tasted pretty good. The curry sauce was very average and did not look appetizing but at least it had Some flavor to it. The gyoza were mushy and needed more seasoning. The outside of them looked like they were supposed to be pan seared however there was no seared texture. Wasn't a bad lunch, just does not warrant a second visit especially if it's out of the way. read more

This is not ramen. It's more like American chicken soup with ramen noodles in it. It came with raw spinach and corn and an egg. the spinach makes it bitter. I would recommend venturing into adding some more traditional ramen ingredients like green onion, bean sprouts, bok choy, bamboo shoot, scallion, kikurage mushroom, kimchi or nori. Not to mention the meat is bland and unseasoned. I could have made this myself and got at the ingredients at a king Soopers without even visiting the ethnic food section. I love ramen but this made me sad. read more

I had the spicy tonkatsu and gf had the creamy spicy chicken ramen and they were both delicious!! We even got some extra broth so we could make a second batch of ramen at home the next day.

Really love this place. I live near sloans lake and this place is so needed. Everything is a great price and delicious. I came here with my mom and sister.

I just stopped by and it was empty, so I decided to eat here instead of the Thai place next-door. Service was nice, got my food quickly, started eating and was really happy with it. Unfortunately a couple minutes into my meal the staff in the back started talking very loudly about how stupid and fat Americans are. I decided to let it go because, let's be honest Americans sometimes are. Five minutes later as this continued very loudly for the entire restaurant to here I decided to get up and ask for a box to leave. One of the staff members apologized, but everybody in the back just continued with the same conversation. Not an excellent look to call your single customer fat and stupid repeatedly, switch languages to continue the conversation and offer a disingenuous apology. The staff may not be fat or stupid, but they sure are rude and lack an ounce of understanding about customer service. Definitely won't be going back. read more
