I know I know, it's unfair that I come from a place where ramen is really damn good....
We were on a 2 and a half day trip to Phoenix and after eating nothing but western food, I was craving Asian food. We had already been to Phoenix, Scottsdale and Sedona so we decided to give Tempe a try and was so excited to see ramen.
To get this out of the way,I did not come in here expecting great ramen....
The tonkotsu broth really needed more flavor... Pork flavor. I can forgive not having that great froth that comes with tonkotsu ramen, but this just tasted like powder and water and maybe some soy sauce. Not all bad though...The broth was hot which was great and the thin noodles were cooked to a firm texture. My egg was surprisingly close to perfect and the wood ear mushrooms and bean sprouts were appreciated. Pork was on the tougher side...
The bun was my least favorite thing. Bun to meat ratio was off and the sauce was sooo salty
Overall it met my expectations but if you're used to getting good Cali Ramen or legit Ramen from Japan, this place will do you dirty
