Ramen Restaurants near Mesa, AZ

“Food here is excellent. Service is great. Restaurant needs a little more light. Personally, I dislike the televisions running while I am eating.“

“I strongly recommend coming to Daruma. The selection of ramen options are the best I’ve seen. The food is visually phenomenal, the quality and flavor is even better. The staff is attentive and very kind. I will certainly be a returning customer!“

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

“Katsu was so crispy and soft — lived up to its name!! The cold soba was also such a nice complement to the katsu on a warm day. They’re generous with their portions but we ended up finishing it anyways because of the addictive flavor. Will be our go-to when we go to Hmart!“

“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👍🏼“

“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 think it's simply my favorite restaurant in Tempe. The Ramen is excellent, but I'm addicted to the egg bowls. I think I've tried everything on the menu at this point, and I can confidently say you literally can't go wrong here. The owner and his family are all wonderful people as well, just a pleasure to stop in and chat with over a bowl of Ramen.“

“My impressions on my food and drink:

I had the Melon Creamy Soda, which was refreshing and delicious!

The Takoyaki balls are pancake balls with octopus in the middle of them. They’re surprisingly delicious and quite wonderful!!! 🤤

I didn’t like the Crunchy Spicy Yellowtail Sushi. I haven’t had yellowtail fish before and it wasn’t appealing to me. Plus, the sushi wasn’t made the way I’m used to having it.

The seaweed salad was awesome! 👍

The service:

The service was done very well! I was attended to right away. Also, it was easy to get Mia and the other workers attention when I needed it.

Both workers were respectful and kind. 👍

The atmosphere:

The place was nice and quiet when I came in, but there was music put on soon afterwards. Not all of the music was to my liking, but I have no control over what music they decide to play.

The place was very clean.

I would come here again. I think it’s worth it. 👍“

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

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

“I’ve been coming to Dozo for the past 5 years. Every single time has felt so nurturing. The staff is very attentive and caring. The food is delicious. I love their ramen and sushi options. Cute and cozy atmosphere that isn’t too loud so you can have connecting conversations if you bring friends 🥰“

“This place is always amazing. I’ve tried a bunch of things on the menu and it is all great. The staff is always friendly. 10/10.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“What I got:
Spicy miso ramen with butter
Tonkatsu ramen with black garlic oil
Takoyaki
Beef bulgogi
Veggie egg rolls
Fried squid legs
Pan fried gyoza
Saki bomb
Let’s start off with the appetizers. We got a free thing of veggie eggrolls due to them miss hearing one of our friends and thought we ordered it. It was nothing special though it tasted like the typical frozen mushy type wasn’t very good. Disappointed on the takoyaki I had just one small piece of octopus inside of it and it was just all batter. Probably some of the worst type I’ve had. The fried squid legs. Were good can’t really mess that up unless you mess the batter up pretty badly lol the Gyoza was very fresh tasting and had the perfect amount of crunch for pan fried now the tonkatsu ramen not the best in az but it was good not oily broth more thicker nooodles more on the thinner side and the pork was tender and egg made to the perfect softness for that gooey inside the beef bulgogi plate combo was good you can’t really mess up Bulgogi so it tasted like any other Bulgogi. I had definitely didn’t expect it to be so small though especially with how much you’re paying I pay for less for way more at other places and they give me a good amount of onions on the bottom this place I barely got any onions underneath, and it was just all burnt on the bottom. So half of my onions were just stuck to the bottom and I couldn’t get them off. The side dishes, though these are some of my favorite side dishes I’ve had at a Korean spot in Arizona. Super sucks because I would only wanna come back for the kimchi side dishes, but didn’t really enjoy the food to an extreme amount to justify driving 30 minutes back and price , some items are a bit pricey, but most of the items are priced at the same as other places I’ve been but you get way less I really did like their kimchi, though it really was some of the best but man so far and nothing I’d want from that menu entree wise so I think it’s worth checking out but I can’t justify coming back“

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

“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.“

“My husband and I visited this AYCE sushi restaurant last Saturday and we will definitely be going back!! The service was amazing! It was our first time and the staff was friendly and nice and came over right away to show us how ordering on the tablet works. Ordering from the tablet was easy and delivered to our table in no time, sometimes by a person and other time by a robot. It was weird but neat! We will be back soon :)“

“Nice food and very accommodating“

“Delicious Japanese food with a HUGE variety of options you won't find on every menu. Unfortunately, I cannot comment on the restaurant itself because I ordered through DoorDash. What I can comment on is that the food was fresh, affordable, and delicious. I ordered the Zaru Soba Noodle meal, which came with hot, crispy Tempura on the side. The Soba Noodles really hit the spot after a day of roasting in the sun. As for the sushi, the Maguro Nigiri was excellent & super fresh. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant, as the options are authentic and affordable compared to other places.“

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

“Obsessed with Hailey, she’s a gem!!

Stopped in for a Tuesday nightcap and was greeted so warmly. Sat at the bar just looking for a drink and was blessed by her presence and genuine personality. I typically read while I have my evening sip but found myself enjoying the music and her company. She took the time to have an authentic conversation, which I find rare living in New York.

Working in luxury retail has taught me the importance of hospitality over service. Hailey delivered authentic hospitality. She listened to me complain about the lack of water in my hotel and sent me home with a cup of water.

Truly enjoyed my time and above all, enjoyed getting to chat with someone who made me feel so welcomed. Looking forward to visiting on my next trip.“

“Great food fast service and friendly staff“

“Got Uber eats from Silverlake Ramen today. It came quickly and neatly packaged, which I loved, however, portion of soup 🍜 was much smaller than it is on location, liquid barely filled the bowl it was brought in , Leaving clients with the impression that unless we go in person to Silverlake Ramen, (Which is a cool location in general ) should probably just skip it :( -“

“I’m a Japanese person living in Arizona, and I really appreciate having a place like this nearby where I can get relatively affordable, authentic Japanese food.

I usually order the katsudon, which is consistently satisfying. The ramen is a bit overcooked for my taste compared to what you would expect in Japan, so I always request the noodles to be cooked firm when ordering.

The atmosphere is also very nice and photogenic, which makes it a good spot for dates as well.“
