    I came here on a Thursday night with my family. It's getting cold and I felt like getting some hot pot. My friend recommended BoSa Kobe. What?! I did not expect the people who owned BoSa Donut to offer hot pot. I was pleasantly surprised. They have a promotion right now, $19.99/person for all you can eat. Normally for lunch it's 20.99, and dinner it's $27.99. So worth the price! They have several beef selections on the menu, my favorites are the Angus Chuck Eye Roll and the Kobe Top Sirloin... So good! There are like 10 soup bases you can choose from. We chose the Tonkotsu, Miso, Chinese Herbal, and Korean Kimchi. I can't say which one is better because I liked them all. They have a counter where you can make your own dipping sauce. I love that. We ordered literally everything on the menu. The decor and ambiance was so so, but who cares. I just came for the food. Will be coming back here very soon.

    Upon entry, we were greeted and seated immediately but the service following was not too helpful nor attentive. We were seated, given menus, and left to our own accord. I think it used to be a la carte but it is now AYCE. There are two tiers--gold ($30.99) and platinum ($35.99) for dinner. The three of us opted for the gold tier with the dual hotpot. There were several broth options, but they no longer have the tomato option. We ordered the miso and tonkotsu--the miso was a little salty and the tonkotsu was bland. I'm a sukiyaki broth type of girl, and they didn't have one nor one similar. There were several options for veggies and sides. I don't recommend the fried tofu--it seemed burnt and quite tough to chew. Some things to note that we had to learn on our own because we weren't given any info when seated: 1. Three plate max per order (unclear if this was due to our party being three people). 2. No max on the sides considering we received all that we ordered. 3. Sauces are located in the center of the restaurant. They have all the basics--ponzu, soy sauce, peanut, sweet chili, sriracha and fresh garlic, cilantro, chili oil. The place filled up pretty quickly, and while it was a cozy place to eat dinner and catch up with friends, there were only two servers, and we didn't get any help after our order was brought out... We only received 1 of the 3 pork belly orders due to their max plate policy, and we never got the remaining plates since no one came by to check on us. Overall, I don't think I'll be returning as there are other hot pot places in the valley with more flavorful broth and attentive service.

    I understand the restaurant is fairly new but I didn't like the ordering system. So if you're in a group of 10 people like my family is a big group, then it gets confusing. There was only one waitress for tonight's service but she was pretty nice and it wasn't crowded. So once your party is seated there is a sharing broth or individual station on the table. You order the broth seperately (in this case we just wanted our own). My bf and I got the Chengu Spice, which he liked but I didn't as much because I wasn't into the spicy, but it looked better than the rest. It was doable lol Anyway, there is only one paper and pencil. Your party must decide which meats you want to order between Gold or Premium (my family did Premium for Dinner- had a lot of choices for meats) and you have to write down how many quantities of meat you want to order. For example, on the first round we did 1-4 each of certain meats and veggies and noodles. But once they arrived not everything was given due to not having enough space on the table. So this is the confusing part right, because nothing was scratched off the paper (where you order), how were we supposed to know if we receieved all our meat orders as well? I'm assuming the waitress knew which ones haven't come out yet or caught up on it.. Just so you know.. each order has only bout 5-7 pieces of meat. So on our next round we ordered 7 orders of most of the meat, but again not everything came out. We didn't like that we have to wait. We clearly cleared the meats once it bathed in our broths so we wanted the rest of our order to come out, like keep em coming lol I like the lamb (meat). It had flavor. That is the only meat I can differenciate out of all the other ones. But if lamb wasn't one of the options, once the meats go in the broth, I don't know which is which. I tried my sister's Tonkotsu broth but it was too bland. There's no flavor. The Chengu Spice was ok. My other sister got something Herbal. And my mom got Kimchi broth. Mostly everyone else got Tonkotsu. There is a self service sauce bar like right in the middle, which you get to pick what kind of sauces you want to dip your meat in. I chose to mix, ponzu sauce, peanut sauce, and fresh garlic. And it was pretty good. I'd probably go back and bring some friends over and give it another go, but so far I just thought the food was ok.. If you plan to go, they do reserve. Called ahead of time and there was a table that says Reserve on it once our party arrived. Not too crowded since it's new. The restaurant is next to a Bosa Donut shop. Parking is limited since it's in a small complex I didn't take a lot of pictures but it just wasn't it tonight

    Great spot with amazing food and friendly service. A great place for a cozy, satisfying meal with friends or family.

    The grand opening for this new hot pot place was May 10th! They are currently promoting some specials which brought us, and many of their other customers, there. Not too far from ASU, and next to BoSa Donuts is BoSa Kobe Hotpot! We came in on a Sunday, starving from overbooking our schedule and just wanting to eat. There is a sign in sheet at the front. Just put your name and how many in your party. We arrived at 6 pm, maybe waited only 15 minutes. They do have high chairs for your little ones! My husband and I were seated and given menus. During this time, they are only doing dual broths, so you can use the big ying/yang pots. The menu will ask which two flavor soups you want (we picked tonkatsu and miso), how many quantities of each item, and even sides. We love hot pot, and I am always craving red meat, so we ordered two orders of beef tongue and Australian lamb. We also ordered two of: bok choy, napa cabbage, enoki mushrooms, fish balls, quail eggs, rice, noodles, and shrimp. And that was our mistake - you don't need to order two of everything. It will be more than enough. They have sauces at their tables, which are soy sauce, sesame, chili oil, and chili oil crunch. Now for the review: I will give benefit of the doubt due to it being their opening weekend, Mother's Day weekend, and overhearing they were short-staffed. The owner and her server did as best they could to manage the whole restaurant. We waited quite some time to get our order to the kitchen, the drinks to our table, our dinnerware placed, and our food. We watched a table leave while they were waiting because the wait was long. We also experienced and watched other diners that needed to flag down the waiter or the owner for the checks. When we were waited on, it was great! Both the waiter and the owner were very nice, and speaking to the owner, she was happy to have people and was playful when waiting on them We would like to come back when they find their rhythm. My husband and I had a good dinner, and we were in no rush, but if you are planning on coming by, brace yourself for a possible long wait.

    It's the hours on their website and Yelp, but a written sign on the door says they're closed. So frustrating.

    It's super frustrating when you check a restaurant's website, make the drive to get there when they open, then see a printed set of hours on their door saying they're closed open an hour later. Fix your website!!

    First time at Bosa Kobe and I was not disappointed! The quality of the meat was delicious and both broths very tasty! We had one server for the entire restaurant and he did such a good job managing everyone by himself! He deserves a raise!!! This experience made me very excited for the new location of Bosa Kobe in Scottsdale opening up soon! Having this near my home will be amazing, can't wait for the grand opening!

    When we looked this place up on google it had good reviews but I wish I would've checked yelp first. According to google it was "busier than usual" but when we walked in there was only one couple inside- red flag number one considering it's a Saturday night. The restaurant was empty. We were quickly sat and given menus and the order list thing but we weren't given any instructions on how to order. We were unsure how many broths we could choose and what quantities meant for some of the things. We eventually flagged a waitress down (there were two people on the floor) and asked. She took our order and then left. They brought out the broth pretty quickly but it was the most bland looking broth I'd ever seen. While we waited for it to heat up we helped ourselves to the very tiny sauce bar. They brought out our meat which was frozen solid and told us to wait until the broth was boiling to cook it. We did and added the food. The Tonkotsu was bland and didn't have much flavor but the miso was ok. The ramen noodles were interesting and if I hadn't added a sauce I wouldn't have eaten them. The only free refills are on water and the sodas are $3-$4. The restaurant looks nice enough with new booths and chairs. Both are comfortable. They had an anime playing on a small projector with sound. The two servers took forever to clean the table that left and seemed to think everything was a two person job. The meat tasted off. They gave it set up for individual hot pots as well but no way to order it. The total was $100 for three people who didn't have anything but water. Don't think we'll be coming back.

    Big fan of hot pot here. This was my first time in Arizona and the heat was absolutely killer, so I was on the fence when our group decided on hotpot for dinner. BoSa however was great! Our server was patient with us as we asked questions about the menu, and everything came out very quickly. The pricepoint was very reasonable for our group, considering we ordered alcohol and lots of meat. The broths were flavorful and there was a variety of items available on the menu. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and meal here!

    Service was almost non existent, ambience was super dry and dull. Very quiet yet at the same time couldn't really find help. The food was decent, the broth was good and I didn't have any real complaints about the quality of food itself but for the price you pay per item and it is most definitely not worth it. I would recommend to build a vibe, train more attentive servers, and readjust the menu prices. Note: you pay per drink, no free refills. This is pay per item, not unlimited refills like a GEN situation or how other hot pot places do. This place unfortunately is a pass.

    Pot came out with less than 50% soup..

    Shabu/Hotpot is probably my most favorite meals of all time. Being from California, I've had the convenience and luxury of experiencing DOZENS of different shabu restaurants - not including to the countless ones at home. I absolutely hate to do this to a new business but unfortunately, Bosa Kobe Hot Pot was the middest of the mid. The only reason why it's a 2 star and not 1 was because we came in when they were having their 50%. With that said, I sincerely hope management takes these reviews and look to improve on the what they have to offer. SERVICE - 3/5 Service was ok - nothing exceptional. Servers were nice but clearly lacked training. Upon entering the restaurant, one of the servers looked at me with a blank stare and looked surprised as to why I was even there. I had to initiate the interaction and said that I was looking for a table for two. When another server who brought out our meat orders out, I asked which plate was which meat order. He then listed them but clearly didn't even know the differences between them as he mistaken the short rib (bottom plate in my picture) as lamb and mixed up everything else. Nice dude but needs proper training. MEAT - 1/5 As you can see from the picture provided, the meat quality was extremely subpar for the price listed on the menu. Even with the 50% off applied, it was hardly worth it given the poor quality. We ordered: (3) Angus Chuck Eye Roll - $10.99 (1) Angus Premium Short rib $18.99 (1) Kobe Top Sirloin - $16.99 (1) Australia Lamb - $10.99 There was no attempt of defrosting the meat whatsoever. They were frozen and did not unroll itself when you went to pick them up. Aside from the lamb, there wasn't any distinct flavor differences between the other beef types. Once cooked, they were extremely tough and gristly. BROTH - 0/5 The broth situation was probably worse than the meat. Here you must pay for the broth which is fine, other hotpot chains such as Happy Lamb and HiDiLao do the same. However as you can see from my picture, where's the broth? We ordered a tonkotsu and chinese herbal broth which cost $12. The pot was less than 50% full of soup... even more strange was when the server brought the pot out, he said "let me refill that for you" and refilled both sides with the plain soup from the kettle... why is the pot even coming out with 25% soup in the first place? We basically paid for just standard regular soup broth. After he filled it, both broths tasted identical and had no differences whatsoever. SAUCE - 2/5 The only sauces they had was soy sauce, sriracha, a sesame sauce, and a chili oil. The sauce bar was severely lacking variety and condiments. It at least needs the basics which would include ponzu sauce, green onions, garlic, etc. In addition to the above, rice was $4 each but tasted old and hard. Soda was $3 but was no refill. With the other ayce shabu places in the vicinity, there's no reason for this restaurant to be serving this quality of meat at their normal price. HiDiLao is also expected to open up in Mesa in the near future... I find it difficult to see how Bosa Kobe Hotpot will maintain their current business model once that happens.

    To start off, the broth is home made. Most other hot pot places use a premade pork bone broth mix and it's just sodium central. The meats are all high quality, grass fed even being an option. To be honest, once meats go into the broth, I can't tell which is what depending on how long I let some sit in etc.. the sauces they use are simple bit effective. I made a great dip combining all of the options. I must say that the Crispy Chicken app was amazing. The staff was great, service was quick. I do love Jin Shabu for the $30 AYCE by the way. But I was pleasantly surprised with how much food we got here and the price came out be around $30/person for the 6 of us. We were all stuffed and we eat a lot.

I'm surprised they don't have more, but there's still a great variety to choose from. The space has ample seating and is very clean. Your order comes out pretty quickly! The servers are nice and the $20 combo deal is well worth in my opinion. You get to choose a bowl of ramen and an appetizer for that price. Fried Gyoza: savory and crunchy with the perfect dip to top it off. Shoyu Ramen: Well done egg and comforting warm broth. Love the ratio of broth to noodles. The pork is perfect in proportion and tender bite. Pork Bun: the cutest bun with a piece of marinated pork inside. Pretty good app! I'm not sure if they make smaller pork buns for the combo because if you order a fried gyoza with the combo, it comes with 4 pieces instead of 6. Either way it was worth it as part of the combo.

The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had. The musubi was giant to say the least, it was good, but offered a bit too much rice. Overall the food and service was great and we were very happy that we ended up here!

    On a Sunday evening, after checking out the Desert Botanical Garden, I was looking for some food in…read morethe area. I came across Zu Izakaya and it's great reviews as one of the options. I love Japanese food so my decision was made. I drove over and parked in their complimentary lot. Ambiance (3.5/5): I've been to Japan and there are plenty of izakayas there. Think of them as small bars which often serve solid food. Zu fits that bit. It's a relatively small restaurant, probably seats about 30 people. and it's pretty no frills for a Japanese spot. I was seated at a booth in the corner of the restaurant. They have free WiFi which is always a good touch. Service (3/5): Service was friendly, though a bit inconsistent. My waitress wasn't as attentive as I would have liked. The type of service where you have to flag them down to get what you want and to close out. Drinks (4/5): Zu has a nice menu of Japanese and Korean beverages, including sake, soju, Japanese beer, and more. With that being said, I just had an iced green tea. Food (4/5): I got a nice variety. I went with the Japanese sausage off of the grill menu, the OBI mayo roll off of the sushi menu, and the cheese corn off of the appetizer menu. Let's start with the sausage. It's a small item, two small sausages, but absolutely delicious. The sausage was bursting with flavor and basted in a sweet sauce. Minus the portion size, perfection. The cheese corn also hit the spot, but the execution was off. The corn is served on a hot platter, and unfortunately some of the corn on the edges was badly burnt. The type of situation where they should start over. Which they didn't. Lastly, the OBI mayo roll is essentially a California roll with marinated warm shrimp on top in a mayo sauce. I didn't love the hot and cold combo (shrimp and sushi), but outside of the temperature, it was a delicious roll. All in all, a very food meal. My only gripe with Japanese food is that it can get expensive quick. Given that Zu is in Tempe, I was hoping that prices would be a little cheaper. With that being said, they do have a solid happy hour (and reverse happy hour) with both food and drink specials. Next time I stop by, I'd like to check out some of their Korean options. I focused on the Japanese stuff this time (which makes the majority of the menu). Next time around, the bulgogi is calling my name!

The music set a fun vibe, and the service was nice and attentive. We ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen ($12.50) and sake bombs with House Sake ($3) and Kirin Light ($7.50). I loved that the sake came in a clear tokkuri. The ramen was soo delicious. I added some chili oil to my broth to give it some spice.

I usually don't enjoy bean sprouts, but here they were subtle and added a pleasant texture to the ramen. I also love that they included the naruto fish cake. I think what makes this place stand out is that at this price point, quality ramen like this is rare to find nowadays. I would consider this place a hidden gem and definitely recommend it if you are near the area. I look forward to eating it again!

The ambience was really good and the people serving are really friendly specially the people who cook the food. Master chef gave us this wonderful hot chili oil that if you add to the ramen- makes it more delicious. We will definitely go back and we're looking forward to eating there again! We had tonkatsu, california roll, shumai and we are so full! Food is so cheap too.

    Nishikawa Ramen is a small little ramen shop decorated with anime posters from Naruto, One Piece,…read moreand Dragon Ball. There were also cute little trinkets of My Neighbor Totoro. Upon entering, we were free to seat ourselves and chose a booth by the wall. It was not busy at all and the service was quick and friendly. We started off with a large sake bomb paired with a Kirin Light ($15). We then ordered two Tonkotsu Ramens, one medium spice and one hot spice ($15.99 each). Honestly, the hot spice level did not taste spicy at all, so I would recommend going extra hot if you like spice. They also provide chili powder on the table if you want to add more spice yourself. The ramen broth itself could have used a tad more flavor. I lightly added some soy sauce to the broth which is something I often do to add a little kick. I loved all of the toppings included, from the green onions to the kikurage (wood ear mushroom). My favorite part was the pork chashu, which was really tender and delicious. I also appreciated that the ramen came with a full soft boiled egg rather than half an egg, and the egg was perfectly runny. Before leaving, we ordered their tea special that was buy one get one. We got a matcha milk tea and a cafe latte which I forgot to take a photo of. I felt like the cafe latte could have used a little more sweetness to balance it. Also, I found it neat that Nishikawa offers a rewards program, not something I see often at ramen shops. My true rating would be 4.5 due to some of the criticisms I mentioned above, but overall I still had a good experience. Thank you for serving us. Visited 5/2/26

    This place was good but the service could use some work. I went in during the mid afternoon for an…read moreearly dinner and was seated right away but the waitress didn't give me a menu. I sat there for several minutes and when she came back, she asked if I was ready to order. I asked for a menu and then she tapped this little sign on the table that had a QR code on it. I guess they want you to use your phone to look up the menu but then she brought me a printed menu and a glass of water. I had about a minute to look at the menu before the waitress came back and asked what I wanted. I ordered the small portion of the chicken karaage appetizer and the Nishikawa Black Ramen. Both items came out at about the same time. The chicken was good and there was a lot which somewhat surprised me because I thought they had given me a large portion by mistake. The only downside was that the plate was really small so the chicken kept tumbling onto the table. The ramen was just ok. It came in a really big bowl and there was a lot of broth and toppings but relatively little noodles in comparison. It was more like a bowl of soup. The slice of pork was huge but a little bit chewy when I was expecting it to be tender. The egg wasn't sliced so it was difficult to pick up the entire piece with my chopsticks. The chicken was $7 and the ramen was $18. I would have been ok just getting the chicken, perhaps a large portion for $12. I wouldn't get this particular ramen again. With tax and a tip my total was a little over $31 which isn't the most I've spent at a ramen restaurant, but it wasn't cheap either. I wasn't offered a refill on my drink until after I had paid and was ready to leave. In fact, I only saw the waitress once after my food was brought out, and that was when she brought me the bill. The rest of the time she was somewhere in the kitchen.
