  • This review is for the ramen as I did not try any other items on the menu. Came here with a co-worker on a Friday for lunch. Saw the grand opening sign outside and when we got to the door, we could hear Japanese metal blasting out the speakers. Interesting... I opened the door and was greeted immediately with Irashaimasu! Wait. WTF? It's supposed to be Irashaimase! Felt a little awkward and uneasy for a moment. The waitress sat us at a counter facing the parking lot. After a quick look at the menu, I decided to try the Tonkotsu Char-Siu ramen. Co-worker got the spicy miso chicken ramen. Waitress seemed disappointed we weren't ordering any rolls or Izakaya items and kept asking "that's all? that's all?" Another awkward moment. We're here for a quick lunch within our lunch hour - not a 3 martini lunch while splurging on the corporate card FFS! While we waited for the ramen I noticed that the music from the speakers was a curious mix of J-Pop and Japanese hard rock and heavy metal - bands like Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - which I don't remember ever hearing at a Japanese restaurant anywhere in the United States nevermind Arizona. It did give the atmosphere of stepping into another country for a moment. I also noticed that the staff were speaking what sounded like Chinese amongst themselves. That explained the earlier awkwardness. When I finally got my ramen, I grabbed my spoon and sipped the tonkotsu broth. It had the tonkotsu flavor alright - a little weak though. Noodles were alright. Char Siu was very flavorful and perfect and so was the menma (bamboo) in the ramen. My only other benchmark for ramen of any kind in the Phoenix metro area is unfortunately Republic Ramen on University - which of course, gets stomped to the curb by this place. Doesn't say much though because most 25 cent ramen packages at the grocery store can do that to Republic Ramen's ramen as well. Let's just say that for now, if I'm craving a bowl of ramen and don't want to cross state lines, this will have to do.
