Izakaya Restaurants near Tempe, AZ

“Love this place so much. The food is authentic, and the staff is super friendly. The sushi is fresh and amazing, and even better when you save a few bucks on happy hour. The Izakaya menu is delicious and you definitely should get a few to share. If you’re a ramen lover, this is the spot - some of the best I’ve had outside Japan!“

“Good food reasonable prices and good service !“

“We are here from Massachusetts visiting our son who just had surgery. He wanted to take us for some amazing food and man he was spot on ! We have been here for five days and we eat out a lot. This Zu & Pocha Restaurant is by far top notch. It not only exceeded all of our expectations but surpassed a couple of crazy high-end joints that couldn't hold a candle to this place. I would be remissed if I didn't mention the amazing team effort from a top notch staff. Back home you would have a line out the door. My wife and I are stuffed with delicious food and drink. We will be back without question every time we visit our son or should I say we will visit our son when we come back to have a fantastic meal for a great value. Thanks again, Your newest biggest fans Bob & Paula“

“Delicius Every food.! I love it 😊“

“I found the ramen delicious and loved that there were so many add on options as well a chicken broth options. I think the chaotic area it is in (a busy downtown college are) may have lowered its rankings but it really was great when I had it on a Monday - chill vibe - again unique that it had chicken broth options and tons of appetizers. Easy self serve water and iPad order as you eat option, then can call the waiter - very modern. Outdoor and indoor seating.“

“Their black garlic ramen is so freaking awesome. Their appetizers are all super flavorful as well. The drinks are always strong and well mixed. Some people have said that the service is slow, but typically there's very few workers and they make everything to order. It's probably not the place to go in a hurry. But if you want really delicious freshly prepared food, it's worth the wait.“

“The service is great and they brought the food quickly. The area reminded me of Japan. All of the food is really good. The dragon roll is a must try, it has the most perfect amount of sweet and savory flavor. The matcha ice cream is so creamy & delicious. The service top-notch, definitely coming back!“
