I'm not sure why the reviews aren't higher for this local spot. The food is great, although a little pricey. It's AZ local not a chain. They have a great bar, outdoor dog friendly patio (if your dog is friendly) and they have vegan and vegetarian options. We love it

I really enjoy this ramen spot and have been here multiple times — the food is consistently excellent, flavorful, and comforting. It’s one of my go-to places when I’m craving ramen.
On my most recent visit, unfortunately, there was a hair in my food. I let the staff know and they were apologetic and replaced the dish right away, which I appreciated. I was also told that I wouldn’t be charged for the meal. However, when it came time to pay, I was still charged full price.
I didn’t say anything at the time because my intention was never to avoid paying, and I understand mistakes happen. I still paid and left a tip. That said, I do feel that if something is promised, it should be honored.
Overall, I still like this place and will likely return because the food is great. I just hope situations like this are handled more consistently in the future.

We happened upon this restaurant and made an impulse decision to try it. We were surprised to find fantastic fusion food! We got bbq pork buns which the bun was toasted which was awesome, the ramen was fire loaded with protein & we got the pork Kim chi toastada. All the food had great flavor and came out quickly despite the full restaurant. 10/10

I had the mic drop bowl. Looked really good but was disappointed in the texture of the broth ( too watery, lacks flavor ) wasn’t on point. I’d say what I had was a failed fusion. Also the macaroni fireball was cold and too dry in the middle.

Fun and lively spot with great energy. The food was flavorful and satisfying, perfect for a casual meal, and the atmosphere had really good vibes. The service stood out as well: the staff went above and beyond, friendly, attentive, and always making sure everything was on point. Overall, a great place to eat, relax, and enjoy the experience. Definitely worth a visit

All of the food was very good and hot when served. The waitress had zero personality and didn’t add to the experience at all. Was also a little surprised they didn’t offer bar drinks. Food is amazing here but service or management or something needs help or I can sadly see this place closing. The staff used to be fun and vibrant.
I was hesitant because of some of the recent low reviews but came anyways and was so glad I did! We got back from Japan recently, and while it wasn’t 100% authentic it was really flavorful and delicious. The noodles were chewy in a way I liked, the broth was awesome and the gyoza was the cherry on top. The servers were really warm. Would absolutely come back. Don’t let the recent bad reviews keep you away.

Easily the top ramen spot in the valley, great food great people and great vibes. If you are into noodles or just want a place to have a Sapporo and sake, come check it out. Ask for Ang, she rocks, and order that Spicy Katsu

Love coming here! I work in downtown Phoenix and always make time out of my week to get lunch here. The food is great and the service is amazing. Definitely recommend the tantanmen or the hostile takeover.
