Umaya Ramen

Great service, a very clean spot. The beef udon and ramen tasted fine, decent quality. The seasoned fries were spicy, delicious but fairly spicy, if you want to avoid that then order the salt & pepper fries.

In the mood for some soupie ramen goodness, I stumbled upon Umaya Ramen, a place with high ratings that beckoned me to check it out. Tucked away in Cerritos, it offers a dimly lit escape that’s both a blessing and a curse. The subdued lighting adds to the cozy atmosphere, but it can be a struggle to read the menu under the faint glow of the few functioning bulbs. It’s an “okie” environment – not exceptional, but it has its charms. The service shines brighter than the lighting, with attentive staff that ensure your experience is smooth from start to finish. As for the drinks, the IPA beer stands out – it’s crisp, flavorful, and a great companion to the main event. The ramen bowls are good; they won’t transport you to the streets of Tokyo, but they’ll satisfy a craving. There’s no singular dish that’ll make your taste buds sing, but the overall quality is solid. The perfectly cooked egg is a highlight, adding a rich layer to the already tasty ramen. In summary, Umaya Ramen is a decent choice when you’re in the area and in need of a ramen fix. It might not dazzle you with culinary fireworks, but it’ll do the job – and sometimes, that’s exactly what you need. Feel free to adjust this review to better reflect your personal experience.

Came here for the 2nd Japanese meal of the day, but left with a full satisfied belly, and an earful of relaxing 70s music! Did not expect that! Oh, and of course the food was really good! If I didn't live so far away, I'd come back more frequently. Please readers, come try this place on my behalf so I can live vicariously through you.

Nice atmosphere and clean place. Friendly staff. Did hve a long wait for my ramen but it was worth it. Got the beef udon. Delicious

My husband and I LOVE coming to Umaya! It’s always a vibe. I always get the same ramen the tonkatsu ramen with bean sprouts instead of mushrooms. Delicious! Their charred edamame is a favorite of ours!! If you haven’t tried them, you’re missing out. They always have a good selection of music. Sometimes they have a movie playing - with no sound lol

Pleasant Surprise here! I had the beef udon, great flavor and large portions, could not finish them. What really surprised me were the loaded fries!!! Crispy fries, asada style beef, spicy sauce, i would even say better flavor than the udon.
