We were in the mood for ramen yesterday so we decided to give this place a try.
Here are the things we ordered: Hentai Old Fashioned, Pork Gyoza, the Obon Ramen and the Rebel Without a Job (sushi roll).
At the bar, they had anime playing on the TV. I thought it was a bit odd. We were hoping for some sports... or anything else.
The Hentai Old Fashioned was something my fiance ordered. My liver needed a break after the long Thanksgiving weekend. I took a sip of it and the flavors of the apertif and other ingredients were a bit overpowering over the whiskey. It reminded me a lot of a Chinese grass jelly dessert.
The Pork Gyoza was tasty but nothing about it stood out compared to gyoza we've had elsewhere. It was good though and perfect for sharing.
The Obon Ramen was probably one of the best bowls I've had in Arizona. Pricey for a bowl of ramen but it's not going to stop me from getting it again. It was happy hour when we were there - our gyoza and sushi roll was happy hour items. I'd skip the roll we got - I was expecting something with more of a kick or something to stand out but it was just a typical role with a name that I didn't understand. What's the correlation? Maybe it's an anime thing. With everything we ordered and after taxes, our bill came out to $47ish.
I wasn't taken away by this place but it's close to home and they have a good bowl of ramen so I'll be back.
