I'm a regular there. One of the best ramen in the state with fair prices, amazing food, and super friendly staff. Definitely a recommendation.

Excellent ramen. Best we've had in Arizona so far. I had the Yatai ramen and my wife had the Tokyo shoyu ramen. Both were amazing. The parking is scarce. The place is tiny but we will definitely come back for more!

Parking was a little hard to find, but it was well worth the ramen, it was ...like REALLY good. Will totally be coming back again to try some other stuff. I got there signature bowl, not spicy, cause I'm a wuss. My girlfriend got the Tokyo bowl.We both walked away saying "we are 100% coming back!"

This place is one of the best ramen places that I've been too!!! Absolutely loved it. My wife, my friend, and i got so much good stuff. We got the yatai ramen, charshu ramen, and an egg and rice bowl. We also got the gyoza and the takoyaki and omg! It was all delicious and my friend who doesn't really like ramen or anything like that loved it too. It's a small place but they have excellent quality food and even have outdoor dining. If you ever are in the area, I would definitely come check this place out. You will not be disappointed, and I will definitely be back in the near future!

This is such a “find!” People may come for the Ramen, and they should - big bowls of happy flavor, but please try the Katsu Don (pork) bowl ✨ it’s like you’re eating in Japan. The flavors are so authentic. The place is the perfect whole in the wall ?We also enjoyed the gyoza - think potstickers but better. As an eat-in eatery, the seating is communal in style so if you’re a big party you might want to call ahead or simply order as a take out. It’s in the ASU area of Phoenix so parking is available and it’s not hard to find. Just Go✨?✨

Has the feel of a street stall restaurant in Asia :) We got the Yatai ramen and chicken & egg bowl combo, the veggie champon, and veggie gyoza. Everything was delicious, both broths super flavorful, and lots of veggies with the veggie champon. My partner liked that you can get the ramen spicy. We want to come back and try the other dishes.

Absolutely delicious food! Our favorite place for our family's birthday meal. Chef Kondo's food not only fulfils your body, but also your soul. Worth every mile we have to drive from West Valley all the way to where Yatai Restaurant is located. Thank you, Chef for the privilege to eat your food! Personal Recommendation: The Ramen combo, mine with Katsu Bowl!

I'd been wanting to come here for a long time, and this lovely rainy night was the perfect chance to enjoy some warm broth and a window seat. Super cozy little spot, exactly what I hoped it'd be.The Tokyo shoyu ramen and takoyaki were SO GOOD, best I've ever had and probably the cheapest. The chef asked what I thought and was delighted I'd enjoyed my first visit, total sweetheart.I've never taken photos of my food before and felt weird lol, but I really wanted to share my great experience here. So glad I stopped in! Thanks guys!! ❤️

Absolutely flavorless and bland, there was very few pieces of chicken. It does not look like they know how to cook it I’m being, it was underwhelming, overpriced for the portions and just down right bad quality.
