FINALLY a ramen house in the Phoenix metro area that hits the spot! I've tried a few ramen places since I moved here a year ago and have been disappointed each time that I almost gave up the search. I saw Nishikawa's reviews and decided to make the drive to Chandler to check it out and I was so happy I did.
We ordered the Chicken Karage, Miso Ramen, and Yokohama Style Ramen. The Chicken Karage was not like most that I've tried in the past - the chicken pieces were more breaded but in a non-overwhelming way. We liked it and would have it again! I got the Miso Ramen and the broth was DELICIOUS. The noodles didn't get soggy, they got the soft-boiled egg perfect, and the serving size is large. I judge ramen mostly according to its broth and the noodles, and I'd say Nishikawa does a pretty good job on both. I haven't tried any other ramen here but if I'm ever really craving GOOD ramen in the PHX area, I would drive down here again.
