| - I've been here twice in less than 3 days in one week! Hmmmmm... Lol! Its fabulous, the ramen broth is as close as it'll be to satisfy my ramen craving and you know that saying "If you see local Japanese and Italians eating in the restaurant, you know your in a good spot!"
My co-worker knows I've been on a hunt for some good ramen in Phoenix. I like the one in Tempe - Tompopo but, the broth isn't too perfection. Anyways, she introduced me to this new findings for lunch and was really happy they have inari (rice cone sushi), I was excited to taste and that was it... I'm amazed to how they prepared it, I haven't found any asian restaurants or markets that make inari the way we eat it back home in Hawaii, on spot!
I had there Hakata ramen which was really good, so good I'm taking pictures and sending it to my husband bragging what I'm eating at this very moment. Lol!
The broth had most of the flavored taste that makes up the warmth of deliciousness and I love that they have the yamasa Shoyu which is the next Shoyu (soy sauce) to Aloha Shoyu. The chasiu is just right not dry but, nice and moist! Too me it is perfection to compare what I've been finding in Arizona. This is as close as we can get to what I am familiar with of back home. And what's the connection of Hawai'i and Japan. Japanese culture is the 3rd largest group in Hawaii over Filipino and whites! So we have alot of real authentic Japanese sushi, ramen, homemade tofu, steaks and so forth..
This is my comfort food that'll make me feel a tad bit closer to home.
On the second visit I brought in my ohana because I wanted to see their reaction. My son had the tan tan spicy ramen, husband had the Cha siu ramen, and as much as I wanted ramen I also wanted to try their pasta, so I had the smoked salmon, fresh spinach and spinach pasta with cream sauce. Well, their reaction was priceless my son's nose started drenching and his throat was coughing and he had a smile like "dis da one", they enjoyed the inari as well and was taken with excitement of its taste (eyes wide opened).
The other great bonus is that I have a Hawaiian pidgin accent (broken english), people up here either can't understand what I say, knows I ain't spanish, and I'm not from here. But, if you from Hawaii then you you know the accent and will pick up on it real fast. Which our waitress immediately picked up on me and we all connected! I was sooo happy!!! So she told me next time I come in I gotta try there Shoyu ramen it's almost the exact as zippys saimin! Hell yaaahhh, I will!
The dessert that we shared was this sweet potato pie spice (Okinawan style) it was not heavy, super delicious, and very lite! You can taste the Okinawan potato's... Yummy!!!
And we usually do not get dessert.. .
We found happiness here with our Ramen. Thank u to the wonderful owners for making authentic dishes here in Arizona!
And one more added exciting note: on Friday night there was a long line our wait time was at least 30 min and from what my understanding from other families/ group parties it's like this every Friday night! So you know gotta be ONO right! Go check um out!
