Absolutely love it!! That's all that needs to be said. I had the House Pad Thai and my husband had the Salt and Pepper shrimp with Fried rice. They even accommodated my daughter by cutting up raw cabbage and a lime ?! (She is a 4 year old and pretty picky lol) Definitely going back here!
For what it is, it's an excellent ramen house, very flavorful, hot, consistent ramen. Have it made any way you like. If you are looking for more than just ramen, they have s plethora of other menue items including fried rice and excellent appetizers to start your meal. Priced right, we left with a full belly and wallet.

Me and my friends came here wanting to try something new and it didn't dissapoint we got eggfried rice a raman bowl and vegetable springrolls the server was very nice and the food was amazing for the
Nice service and people but not my first choice for ramen. The miso broth was generic and the bbq pork tasted slightly freezer burned. Not the best ingredients. Maybe the other plates there are good, so maybe give those plates a try.

Very tasty food and the staff is very friendly I'll be going
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.
