Asahi Ramen

Asahi is a great place to eat. It's small, but very homey. Their fried rice is delicious and their ramen is even better. it comes in big portions, i can never finish them. very friendly. i've been going there since i was little and have been a loyal customer even in college.

I am a regular at this ramen place and its much better than the one around the corner which will go unmentioned. Quality is definitely what I think of when I come here. They hook it up so a bowl of ramen is not JUST a bowl of ramen. My personal preference is the miso ramen or the tanmen ramen. In terms of the appetizers, I always get the ban ban ji which is shredded chicken and cucumber. They only take cash so be sure to go to an atm before coming here. It's definitely worth the trouble.

When you are in need of the quick fix for asian ramen noodles, this is the only place on the west side that serves it. The food is cheap, fast and warm. Although the noodles are not to par with authentic japanese noodles in japan, they are the closest thing you can get on the West Side. If you go on the weekend especially Saturday Noon time be prepared to wait in a short line. Although the decor is not anythign special the food is well worth it. They also have very good fried rice. the best noodles there is the miso ramen.

This is where I go to satisfy my ramen cravings! Always a line, just put your name on the list and wait outside -- it moves fast. Huge ramen portions & great dumplings. No alcohol menu, but you can practically eat a feast for pennies!
