    My partner and I like getting an app, a ramen, and a roll. If we are really hungry we add a bun. Love their buns!! Tried all except the tofu, pork belly is my favorite! Tuna and avocado tartare is a perfect starter with the wanton sesame crisps. My personal favorite is the kimchi and fried chicken ramen add a molten egg with spice on the side, allows you to control the heat. 10 hours tonkatsu is a second fan favorite. Their limited edition ramen tend to be a hit as well. We find that to be the perfect combo every time!

    We had a great experience at Akahoshi Ramen. Casper was wonderful and attentive! We sat at the counter and enjoyed sipping on our delicious cocktails as we watched the ramen being made! My husband enjoyed the midwestern ramen and I had the Akahoshi. It was SO delicious that my husband had a second round of ramen. HIGHLY recommend and cannot wait to visit here again. Until then, I’ll be dreaming about it.
