We live in the neighborhood and today was the first time we tried Ayan! It was so great! We loved every dish. It's a pan Asian restaurant and we went for happy hour. We had about 6 different dishes and everything was delicious! The food was great, the service was wonderful and the atmosphere was very welcoming. It's definitely a hidden gem and we will be coming back again!

Went in around 3:30pm and there was only 1 other customer there. It use to be a Denney's and they transformed it into a nice well decorated roomy with lots of tables atmosphere. It was Happy Hour 3p-6p so I ordered the Sweet & Sour Baby Pork Ribs $5 with a Ozeki Hot Sake $3.50 and both are delicious at a great price. Then for my main dish I got the Orange Chicken $17 and Shrimp Fried Rice $18 both also very yummy with good portions that I took home for a later snack. Lots of items on the menu to choose from and when your ready to order or you need a server you just push a button on the table. I'll be back to try more of the Happy Hour menu and the Ramen or Pho.

Today, we visited Ayan for the first time. We ordered the Thai soup and Mongolian khuushuur with vegetables, and both dishes exceeded our expectations. The kids were thrilled with their milkshakes. To top it all off, we received a complimentary dessert. The restaurant is clean and spacious, and it wasn't crowded at noon on a Saturday. I highly recommend this hidden gem for comfort food and a pleasant dining experience. Our waitress, Aya (I hope I spelled that correctly), was very attentive and took the time to explain all the little details about the food. Ayan will definitely be our go-to spot for delicious food and a cozy atmosphere!

We have eaten there several times. The menu offers so much variety and unique dishes. Everything has been quite delicious!

Love Ayan! This is my third time here and I just love it. Environment is so different from its previous tenant (Denny's) ... staff is great, and food is delicious. I love the variety and the BUUZ (dumplings).

With the weather getting colder in the South Bay, I've been craving ramen more than ever. I'm always on the hunt for a great ramen spot, and that's how I discovered Ayan. Ayan offers an impressive variety of ramen, including some unique options that immediately caught my eye. For instance, they serve Genghis Khan Ramen, a Mongol-style ramen with wheat noodles; Cheese Ramen with Chicken, featuring a mix of espuma parmesan, cheddar, and mozzarella cheeses; and Mongolia Dark Ramen, made with beef tripe. I decided to try their Cheese Ramen with Chicken, priced at $16. Beyond ramen, Ayan boasts a diverse menu blending various cuisines. They offer Mongolian dumplings, Tom Yum soups, pho, poke bowls, pasta, bao burgers, and even steaks--a true fusion haven! My friend and I shared the Mongolian Khuushuur (2 for $7), a deep-fried Mongolian dumpling, while my friend also ordered the Carbonara Noodles (lunch portion, $12). The Cheese Ramen with Chicken did not disappoint. The broth was rich, creamy, and flavorful, perfectly complemented by tender chicken breast and generous portions of mushrooms, green onions, and sprouts. I especially appreciated the whole flavored soft egg they included--it was such a delightful touch. For $16, this ramen was a fantastic deal, offering large portions and incredible taste. The Mongolian Khuushuur was another standout. These deep-fried dumplings reminded me of empanadas and can be ordered with either beef or vegetables (we opted for beef). The dumplings were perfectly crisp, served hot, and paired with a ranch dipping sauce and a vegetable papaya side--both of which added lovely contrasting flavors. I also sampled my friend's Carbonara Noodles, which seemed to use the same noodles as my ramen. The dish was equally creamy and delicious--an excellent choice for pasta lovers. Last but not least, we ended the meal with the delightful Buuz Mochi with Mango. Filled with Philadelphia cream cheese, Thai mango, and passion fruit, this dessert was absolutely drool-worthy! Beyond the delicious food, the service at Ayan was exceptional. The staff were friendly and attentive, and I loved the convenient buzzer system at each table, making it easy and efficient to request assistance. It's rare for me to give a new restaurant five stars, but Ayan absolutely earned it. The service was fantastic, the food was outstanding, and I came for ramen but discovered so much more. I can't wait to return!
