Ramen Restaurants near Mesa, AZ

“Not only is the food here amazing the staff is by far the best and friendliest around. Our group has been here a few times now and today went for a friends birthday. They went above and beyond for us. Food was out within 15 minutes and everything tasted fantastic. You literally couldn’t ask for a better experience“

“Reminds me of food I used to get on base at MCAS Iwakuni Japan, not far from Nagasaki.“

“Restaurant Review

I recently visited Daruma, and I must say, it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The cleanliness of the place immediately stood out—it was spotless! From the dining area to the restrooms, everything was meticulously maintained, which made the entire atmosphere feel welcoming and comfortable.

The food was equally impressive. Each dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You could tell the ingredients were high-quality and prepared with care. Whether you’re looking for a hearty meal or something light, the menu offers plenty of options to satisfy any craving.

Overall, Daruma, it’s owners and staff exceeded my expectations. The combination of a clean environment and delicious food makes it a place I’ll happily recommend to anyone. Can’t wait to come back!“

“I moved here from California three years ago and I’ve been trying to find a restaurant that serves Japanese curry. That is as good as cocoa Ichibanya in Irvine and this place is not only as good, it is better. The curry has amazing flavor and the chicken Katsuwas perfectly crispy and the chicken was nice and moist. It was absolutely perfect.“

“Best. Ramen. Ever. Be prepared to wait in line during peak hours, but it’s well worth the wait!“

“Very good, it was a wait but worth it for sure👍🏼“

“We love this little noodle shop! It's difficult to find traditional ramen in the desert, well really anywhere outside of Japan! Yatai isn't fancy. It isn't bougie. It's just right! Grateful for their amazing service and amazing ramen. Highly recommend.“

“Really Good food, really great staff. We’ve been in twice to celebrate birthdays (both my sons eat here at least 2-4 times a month) and even though they don’t take reservations on Saturday nights, they are always willing and helpful to accommodate our 9-12 person party. Every staff member that I have encountered has been 5 star.“

“I loved their beef bowls but they've since removed them from the menu :( It was a nice healthier option to the katsu and pork loin

I hope in the future they have the opportunity to bring back the same recipe. All the food here is delicious regardless.“

“The food has great flavor and service is excellent!“

“Kazu Ramen in Gilbert, AZ was absolutely phenomenal. Vina was our waitress, and she was so pleasant and helpful with the menu. We had the opportunity to meet with the owner, Hendra, and he’s got something special going with this restaurant. Stop by, say hi, and eat away! I ate the kazu ramen, and Janelle ate the katsu-men. Delicious stuff! We’ll be back.“

“Good food friendly staff! Worth the drive from East Mesa.“

“My boyfriend and I ended up coming here on a whim, not expecting much. The food is delicious. The scallion pancakes were amazing. The ramen broth is so flavorful and the noodles are the perfect texture. I got Boba Milk Tea and it wasn’t too sweet, just perfect.“

“Excellent events very fun and outgoing“

“Excellent food and equally excellent service! Tried and true, always great food. We stop by regularly because we’ve tried many others and found this establishment to be one of the best.“

“Such a hidden gem! Great food, amazing service from a genuine family-run restaurant where you can tell they take care to make sure you love your food and your experience. Highly recommend! We had the spicy edamame and have tried a bunch of different rolls, and they are all delicious. The Poki Roll is incredible🤤 I will say though, the wasabi is a little weird and doesn’t give you that “bite”.“

“Nice food and very accommodating“

“I’ve been coming here for years—always consistent. This place is quality and you can tell the owners care. I’ve tried almost everything but tend to just order a bunch of bento boxes to go. Best place for this type of food that I can think of anywhere. Highly recommend.“

“very good food served HOT and you get a lot of it!!“

“Sushi Sen is an excellent authentic Japanese Restaurant. Similiar to Sushi Den in my opinion it's bigger brother in Denver, Colorado. This place special and very clean. The staff is professional/hard working. The meals are delicious. You will not be disappointed.“

“I loveeeee this spot for ramen! It’s consistent every time I go! Staff is always friendly and atmosphere is good. Get the combo if you’re getting ramen, it’s silly not too. The only thing I’d change is how big the spoons are, I want to make a little bite with broth in the spoon but I can’t fit the whole thing in my mouth ?“

“We just love this place because the food & handcrafted cocktails are always great! Customer service is also very nice!“

“We have been coming here since grand opening, food quality is excellent, they recently updated the interior and added more items to the meme. Of o course the price has increased quite a bit since but it is understandable. Good place for casual Chinese food or noodle soups.“

“The decor is fun and we had good service, but the overall vibe was off. The DJ was not playing the classic pop songs of the 90s. He was trying to add techno beats to the songs and put his own spin on it. When a friend tried to request a song the DJ said, “I played that song last night.” No one there that night was there last night. Overall, the place was pretty quiet and I truly think that if the DJ was better that the over experience would have been better.“

“The best ramen in the East Valley so far...“

“Don’t even look at the menu beyond the front page. Get the hot pot.“

“Great food fast service and friendly staff“

“Pumpkin and enoki mushroom handrolls were INCREDIBLE vegan options, nori fries were delicious. Had a 1pm snack on a Saturday and the service was quick and the atmosphere was very chill. Lemon sour cocktail was great, and I'll be getting the vegan set next time!“
