| - Bottom line: GO HERE. SUPPORT THIS DELICIOUS, LOCAL BUSINESS.
After nearly a year of waiting, I can finally write this review. After spending sometime in Japan (largely inspired by the quest for ramen) and sampling dozens of ramens from hole in the wall spots, to Michelin starred restaurants I feel like I can say with a certain amount of confidence that Ramen Dozo is the Bomb-en Dozo.
Their rames are delicious and taste so similar to even the Michelin starred ramens I had in Japan. While it's true, each person is unique in how much saltiness, richness, sweetness etc they like in their ramen, and each person will have a place that hits their needs bets, I think Ramen Dozo does a great job of offering something authentic and pretty universally likable.
Their tonkatsu ramen is rich and flavorful and the shiitake mushrooms I love to get with them are excellently prepared. I feel so lucky to have this little spot just right down the street from me. Of the 5 or so ramen places I've tried in the Phx/Tempe area Ramen Dozo is far and away the best. The service is extremely friendly and authentic even too, you can feel the love and care poured into the food. I should mention, everything is good, not just the ramen, the poke is fabulous, everything is, I just love ramen.
The only suggestions I could make are to put some beni shoga on the table because I can literally eat it by the spoonful and maybe offer a kae-dama (basically extra noodles!!!) option because their noodles are so yummy!
I'm so glad it's not Tuesday (they're closed!) because I can't wait to go get some Ramen Dozo later today! :)
