We regularly get Asuka delivered to us and enjoy their food very much. We almost always get the Veggie Tan Tan Ramen, the Pork Belly Bowl, the Chicken Karaage and their Boba Smoothies (Taro, Coconut or Mango). Sometimes we get their bao buns. Always packaged well, fresh and delicious! Should try their other items but stick to our favorites.

We were so exited to see this new location closer to us and couldn't wait to visit today. Alas, the food was a huge disappointment. We ordered a build your own bowl, two tonkotsu ramen, shrimp tempura and a takoyaki. The build your own bowl was tiny and the spicy salmon which turned out to be too spicy lol. The tonkotsu Ramen had zero flavor... the broth was white, like they mixed it with cornstarch, but it had no taste. If you closed your eyes, it could've been warm water. Shrimp tempura was ok and the takoyaki was soggy. To sum it up, this location is not worth the drive. We will gladly make the loong trek to their Arvada location.

Excellent service! Very friendly and the food was out pretty quick. The takoyaki was my favorite- almost didn't get a picture. The tonkotsu ramen was so good! I forgot to order spicy but adding in chilli oil worked just fine. Saw several regulars which is always a good sign.

Ramen Lovers if you are constantly disappointed by flavors in other Ramen restaurants, this place fixes that. I ordered their spicy tonkatsu and duck fired rice. 100% 🔥 I will definitely be back to update this review with photos. If you are looking for better ramen spots in a colorado. Come here!
