| - I love ramen, and the only thing this place brings to the starling Phoenix ramen scene is that it has thin noodles. The food is bland because the food is cooked separately from the broth. If you're coming here for a great ramen experience, stick to downtown Phoenix for the best spots. If you're going to come here, do it because you live nearby and not because you think you're getting a quality meal.
I also had a bad service experience, though I think the circumstances of my arrival may have led to some of it. Let me set the scene: my friends and I walk in right after a group of eight people were set up at their own table. Each of the 7-8 tables is already filled, even the bar. After waiting about 5-10 minutes, three spots open up for me and my friends at the bar. We place our orders: two bowls of ramen and one combo meal (ramen, rice, fried chicken and pickled radish). I receive the fried chicken, rice, and pickled radish about 10 minutes after we sat down, but we didn't receive our ramen for another 20 minutes... What? No. Awful. Who wants to eat their combo with only half the food, and or be the friend to begin eating while their friends are all waiting for their food? Just weird service timing and decision-making.
