    Hello Yelpies !!! Do you crave real authentic Asian cuisine.., yeah you know real, fresh, and full of authentic flavors. This is the place... Why you say??? Our dine in experience was service first and then amazing food second with more amazing service afterwards. All the while enjoying great food with the family they started getting busy. Most restaurants get noisy and the level of service drops off.... I said most... NOT this place. Before you know it food is pumping out the kitchen and tables are being cleaned and seats are filled round 2... get in here yelpies you won't be sorry

    Delivery was SO fast! This was our first time trying authentic ramen, and oh my gosh Mind. BLOWN. The bamboo shoots added such a nice crunch, and the pork was so tender. Prices were reasonable, and the Strawberry Ramune was a perfect addition!

    I had only ever ordered take out from Simply ramen until this week. I was pleasantly surprised the portions seemed bigger when dinning in. Food is amazing, customer services was great despite them being very busy. Pad thai has been a pregnancy craving for me and it hits the spot every time.

    This is small quaint little gem. The food is fresh and tasty. Have tried numerous options with all being a winner. I'd say you can't go wrong with your choice. I have always seen smiles on people coming and going. Take it is an option and dine in. Pad Thai was great in flavor but needed a bit color. We eat with our eyes first, presentation was good but a touch red would make it sexy. Ramen 103 had great broth and plenty to share or not...could eat it all.

    This place is a must stop spot when I'm on a road trip south from Portland. Everything I've had here has been great. Food comes out fast and the staff are friendly. Bring a sweatshirt during the cold moths. The kitchen exhaust fans suck a lot of air and you can feel a cold draft. On the bright side, you don't leave here smelling like food.

    I order to go but this place seem super cute and chill vibes inside. However when they are approaching to closing time even is not the best to order. I came an hour away from closing time and they seem to be in a rush. I didn't get acknowledgment that i was there to pick up my food. Great taste though.

    It's a solid ramen place with tasty broth. I've only ever gotten ramen here, which always satisfies. It's a large portion; enough to get two meals out of it. I just wish that they had actual glasses in which to drink your beer.

    Came back to give it another try. Got the Tom Yum ramen and spicy garlic wings. Also got the Beef Chow Fun togo. Everything tasted good!

    A fraction of the chili I could pick out of this abomination.

    Ordered two spicy ramens. It looked like it was just thrown in the bag. Soup containers sideways, boxes tossed in sideways. They mixed up which ramen was supposed to be extra spicy. I enjoy very spicy food, and have eaten some of the spiciest in Thailand. This was inedible, almost to a dangerous level. It's like they said 'ok, you want it spicy?' And then added an ungodly amount of chili. They've done this twice now. The soup was cold. The shrimp was old. I could not drink the soup. Fuck this place.

    Cheesy ramen
    Souporn H.

    I wasn't able to call place an order. Went in and it was a 30 min wait. Everything was packed nicely. My cheesy ramen was yummy, love pulling up the stringy cheese. Thai tea was great. The miso ramen was bland, I wish there was some sauce or spice to add to that one. Other than that it was a quick and easy dinner.

    Just look at that beautiful bowl of yum and that perfect looking Thai tea

    skip the dumplings, they were undercooked and not much flavor. The rest of my food was good, great boba drinks and apps.

    Do the ramen noodles contain eggs?? Thanks!

    Hi, Amelie The ramen noodle is egg noodle but we could change the rice noodle if you requested. And most of the ramen come with half boiled egg as well! Hope to see you soon.

    Yummy! Good Ramen, good service and lots of seating!…read more Service was very friendly and food came out quick! Nice soft music playing restaurant was cute lots of seating options. Ramen was tasty! The kaarage was kinda like chicken nuggets, different than we normally have but still yummy. Will be back when in the area!

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

    To be honest, this place probably deserves closer to three stars, but I didn't quite have the heart…read moreto 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.
