Umaya Ramen - Cerritos

Great food and drinks! I just know you're gonna wait one! we waited about an hour to eat. that was on a weekday. They immediately sat at the bar, but waited for one to get our food. I was with good company so we weren't waiting much. but if you starve, you better go somewhere else.

The food was great ordered the house special and sumo sized it! Let's just say I left feeling satisfied the noodles where very savory as well a the broth I recommend this restaurant if you're a lover of hot soups for sure !

They said the wait was 30-45 minutes. We waited for an hour and half. We checked in to be seated around 6pm on a monday night (10.25.2021). We got a text around 730pm and got seated 735 since we're just waiting outside, right behind the counter where we can see them work. Do the math. We also observed from a good vantage point on how things are being run on this ramen place. We ordered right away since we knew that they move slow. We got our ramen around 745pm. If you're calling to place an order, you will never get your phone order because they never answer the phone. Forget it! I called 5 times to test them and they failed miserably. The waiting line grew and most people waiting to be seated ended up ordering their food for to-go because it takes forever to get a seat. No one's running the traffic and they don't care if their customer waits longer than the initial time they told them. Servers here are not pro-customers. They don't care! Yet their ramen is not something to die for. I tasted better ramen. Heads up, mens bathroom is filthy dirty. Their hand soap dispenser is a sauce dispenser. I thought it was just left there by accident. But nope, it's a handsoap.

Great quality on the food and service... did takeout this time. I had the delicious Umaya ramen and my wife had the equally good veggie ramen and we had the portobello fries for the first time... basically tempura mushrooms, so good.

Finally I tried this spot! Great service and food was really good. Staff was very friendly and attentive.What we ordered: The takoyaki appetizer, the umaya house ramen and seafood ramen. it had a fairly good portion of seafood!If you're craving some ramen, this is right off the freeway.
