While the restaurant is well located and decor is welcoming, the ramen here was sadly bland and not the quality we've come to expect from noodle shops over the past 5 years. I had the Takana ramen and the tonkatsu broth had no depth of flavor. The noodles were watery and a bit mushy. I did enjoy the pickled bamboo and mushroom slices included. The vegan ramen was also ordered and the miso broth was also bland and lacked completeness.
Hopefully it was just an off night, but definitely one of my least favorite ramen dining experiences in the past couple years in Phoenix.
