  • I get that this place is relatively far. We all wish it was closer to something tangible, instead of out in a strip mall in east Chandler surrounded by cookie-cutter homes that contain a ton of transplants from the midwest that would sooner eat at an Applebees for the millionth time than ever try something "ethnic" (you all know these people...they're terrified to travel more than 3 miles away from their subdivision lest they see actual city life). But there it is, an oasis in a bland desert. And it's pretty freaking good. That Nishikawa Black ramen (oh, add a soft-boiled egg. Do it now) is fantastic. Garlicky, rich, velvety broth and good noodles, with plentiful accoutrements make this probably the best bowl of ramen in Phoenix to date. I dunno, maybe I haven't tried every place yet, but I've tried enough to know that it stands above at least everything in the East Valley. Republic Ramen is barely a step up from instant...actually I doctored some instant Shin Ramyun the other day that came out better than Republic. If it wasn't for college girls in yoga pants going there it'd be out of business already). Tampopo is pretty great and their execution is probably a little more pure than Nishikawa, but it's missing just a little bit of the flavor Nishikawa gives. Ramen Dozo is a good new contender too but I have to try it again. I know people love Umami but it's still a little too...meh...for me. Hachi Ramen is more authentic too but their tonkotsu is so rich that it takes on some of that inner marrow smell that pork broth can get, too gamey for my tastes. Basically, Nishikawa is worth the drive because it trounces at least everything in its general vicinity (and I still think it's the best bowl in town, period). If not though, there might still be a TGI Fridays somewhere for you.
