The best pasta I have ever had was when I visited Japan. I wont say that this place match food in Japan (fresh ingredient isnt easy to come by in the middle of the desert) but if u want to try the taste of authentic japanese/italian mixed noodles give this place a try. Also i recommend trying something else rather than ramen. Not that the ramen isnt good but there is other ramen place out there. This place have other noodle dishes u cant get in typical "japanese" restaurant in az, be adventurous and u might fine something yummy u have never tasted before.
