Umaya Ramen: Experience Authentic Ramen with Exceptional Service

Delicious! Not only was the food delicious the guest service was great . We were instantly greeted and seated welcomed with a smile and ice waters . Our waiter made sure to get our toddler and baby crayons and a color sheet as well. We loved that this place had great ramen and a great kids menu for our picky eater that most ramen spots don't offer which helped us greatly . We had spicy miso ramen and a side of Kimchi For appetizer we had the Pork oshi . All were delicious.. My toddler had the crispy chicken with fries he loved it . To drink we had the chamango and the pomegranate mojito . Definitely try this small but big spot out it was great !

The staff here was super friendly and attentive to us when we came in and throughout our dinner. It was right around 7pm when we first came and there was only a 5min wait. Business really picked up after we came in but the restaurant never became too loud and it didn't feel too crowded or hot inside. Tonkotsu black ramen or the house special will always be what I go for if I can't decide on what to order but I also really liked the beef udon when I tried it this time.

This place kinda surprised me! The vibe is down to earth, somewhat hole-in-the-wall. The staff is friendly and I also picked up on genuine happiness without being over-the-top syrupy. Almost like a peaceful contentedness. The physical menu doesn't have as much info as their online menu. So I relied on their online menu to mark what is vegan/vegetarian. Our server was also helpful in answering our questions about certain menu items. Charred Edamame hooked me right away. Though I didn't necessarily see or taste too much char, the flavor of yuzu stood out while the sesame salt added a bit of extra texture and crunch. I easily finished this dish off when no one else at my table was touching it. Will gladly order this again. https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/umaya-ramen-cerritos-9?select=8J7c4vX7R1S6rCjahbCayA Creamy Vegetable Ramen has a very tasty soy garlic broth. This was topped with corn, wood ear mushroom green onion, bean sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, and ginger. It came with a single shitake mushroom. The noodles had a perfect amount of chew. Next time I order this, I might add tofu just to have a bit of protein. Also, the habanero sauce is legit! https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/umaya-ramen-cerritos-9?select=KSc_MFq5tndW352sqCddIw I'm keeping this place bookmarked!

Always love coming here. Service and food is always consistent, and they have a lot of tables so even on the busiest of days max wait is about 30 minutes. Inside is always clean and organized too. I personally always get their miso ramen, occasionally their fried dumplings, and it's always delicious. Their fried Oreos are a great dessert to try as well if you ever get the chance!

Came for 9pm dinner, still many people filling up the place. Server was great, food came quick. Order the Umaya ramen, and it is my second favorite ramen next to Yoshinoya! The flavors of the broth was perfect, flavorful and not too salty. The pork belly made my mouth and mind melt every bite. Noodles were al dente, perfectly chewy. Will come again. We also got the shishito peppers and chasu pork bowl. Both were alright. Good, but relied on a mayo sauce that was just simply alright. If they found a better alternative than the mayo sauce, maybe it would be outstanding like their ramen. Service was great and atmosphere was nice. Parking was easy at 9pm on a Saturday; otherwise it is a large lot. Place is good for a date, as it is a nicer place and the ramen is soo good. Easy to grab some nice dessert nearby at the ice cream shop.

We came on a Saturday for lunch and it was fairly empty inside. Parking was very easy, there were plenty of spots. I ordered the Lychee Strawberry Tea and the the Chicken Curry Katsu Bowl. The tea was very sweet but I liked it. The Curry Katsu was really good. The chicken was breaded perfectly and the curry had a nice spice to it. Overall I'd come back and try some other items!
