    Cold Soba Lunch
    Daylan B.

    Had an amazing visit on the way back home! The place is dimly lit and very relaxing. The cold soba was refreshing and with the tempura really balanced. My server was very attentive and friendly! She checked if I wanted dessert afterwards and the green tea and red bean cake immediately caught my eye. It was not very sweet, and I couldn't be happier to have tried it out! Most places over sweeten to try to mask the bitterness, but this place was a light and refreshing balance. To top it all off, as I was leaving I was told they are just about to bring out fresh anpan! As someone who loves red bean I just couldn't say no. Very nice price and the breading with the red bean is so perfect. Now I can't wait to come again for dinner or happy hour one day!

    Zaru soba
    Sabrina H.

    I think the owner/workers really care about this place and try and make it the best they can for there customers as experienced today I really appreciate acknowledging my review and letting me know about things I've always loved how friendly and helpful they are here I'm always to awk to say anything but they always want to improve anyway they can and appreciate hearing peoples opinions still stands as my fav restaurant in az I've been coming here for four years now and it's sometimes a hit or miss with the food that I get I get the exact same thing every single time I never really changed it. It's always the buckwheat cold noodles called the zaru soba noodles and sometimes they're undercooked or overcooked and when I went in today after not going in for like six months, it was pretty undercooked. I got a bunch of crunchy pieces which was pretty surprising and there wasn't even that big of a crowd, so I'm like why aren't you guys cooking everything correctly , aside from that I've always enjoyed everything else I've gotten from them. All of their appetizers are amazing and I always recommend their Gyoza. It's good either way pan fried or the soup spicy version

    Decent ramen at a decent price. I had the lunch special combo with ramen and inari sushi. There weren't many toppings in the ramen, and the pork tasted a bit odd. If you're just craving ramen and don't need a lot, you can get it here for a cheaper price.

    Apparently this is a pretty popular spot, the hostess even mentioned I was lucky to get a table because it was St. Patrick's Day. The food presentation was really nice and looked appealing, but overall the flavor was a bit underwhelming and could've used more seasoning. Service was decent, nothing standout. The restaurant itself was quite dark, which added to the atmosphere but wasn't entirely my preference. Overall, an okay experience.

    Early dinner -no wait on a Saturday. Friendly staff. Wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed my ramen and shared Agedashi. Dinner for 4 plus a 1 year old for under $75 is amazing. Their prices are very reasonable.

    Thai tea
    Rachel K.

    Honestly, really glad to return to Cherryblossom. I missed it a lot. The ambience is still amazing and so, so chill. Paired with delicious, comforting dishes like warm udon soup & dumplings.. it's the best place to come to if you want a great night's sleep! I think I may officially be declaring it my favorite casual spot in the valley. I don't know what I was thinking with my previous review! Past me was so silly. The thai tea is perfect, btw. And everyone is still super nice here! Very appreciated!

    Gyoza pot

    Spicy gyoza pot was delicious ! The service was great as well very friendly and nice ambience

    Miso Ramen
    David M.

    I'll preface by saying that Cherryblossom noodle Café has food quality that does better than some other restaurants in Phoenix. The California roll was pretty good! I think the ratio of rice to contents was a lot better than other California rolls I've had in the area. The chicken karaage was a dry and had an interesting sauce more water-based, less mayo flavor than Japanese restaurants in Nevada. The miso ramen was fine, but it didn't really taste like miso. It tasted more like a shoyu, quite watery. Staff was really nice though! I had a great experience with them. Plus, the interior felt like a cozy cafe.

    Hakata ramen. 10/10.
    Deb P.

    The food was definitely 4.5 star worthy. My husband's Japanese champong (not to be confused with Korean jjampong) was 5 star worthy. The special of the day poke bowl was outstanding 5/5. Quality of fish was varied and a quality Japanese rice. The tuna maki was very respectable. Why 4.5 stars? Music was too loud and they need better air extraction for their grill. EXTREMELY courteous service. A real pleasure eating here. We may be back if we're in the area!

    The aftermath
    Andrew L.

    Wowee Wow Wow! Cherry Blossom Noodle Cafe is off off the hook. Food was great. Service, fast. Atmosphere was especially nice with low lighting and soft music. And the price was very reasonable. Tempura and ginger beef were highlights of the bento. AWESOME LUNCH! Thanks Cherry Blossom.

    I've been to Cherry Blossom many times over a decade, but my experience on Thursday night (11/13/25) was deeply concerning .Enough that I feel it's important to share for the safety of other guests. My coworker, who has ordered the same soup here countless times, immediately noticed that it tasted different this time and was much spicier. She is extremely sensitive to capsaicin and started feeling the early signs of a reaction. We told our server that her throat could begin to close, that something in the soup had changed, and that we would like the soup remade and that we would need to leave to get her medication. Instead of treating this as urgent, the server repeatedly responded with, "There are no jalapeños in the soup," as if that settled the issue. What she didn't seem to understand is that capsaicin -- found in many spicy ingredients, not just jalapeños -- can trigger allergy-like respiratory reactions such as coughing, throat irritation, and shortness of breath, even in people without diagnosed food allergies. A manager (I think she was) eventually came by, but her response was just as dismissive. She also repeated, "There are no jalapeños," without listening to what my coworker was experiencing. There was no empathy, no urgency, and no effort to help during what could have escalated into a medical emergency. This level of disregard for a guest's health is alarming. Accidents happen in restaurants, but how the staff responds is what matters and in this case, the response was unsafe and unacceptable. I truly hope the restaurant takes this seriously and trains staff on how to handle situations involving potential allergic or respiratory reactions. I'm sharing this so other diners are aware and so the restaurant has the opportunity to improve how it handles situations that require basic care and attention. Also I had posted an IG story with what happened and tagged Cherry Blossom- they did see it nor did they respond . They have no emails nor can you message them in a social dm. I do feel this needs to be in writing therefore nothing is skewed.

    My family loves coming here. You are greeted and sat quickly. They leave a full bottle of cold water for you to refill your glass. You are given warm garlic bread to start, while you peruse the menu. Everything we have eaten here is fresh and delicious. Flavors galore! The staff is friendly, helpful & prompt. The ambience is cozy, clean and inviting. Highly recommend.

Definitely a vibe for anime lovers! Food-wise, we started with the gyoza and they were delicious. Perfectly cooked and even better dipped in the ponzu sauce! We also tried the sushi flight, which was a great way to sample a few different flavors. Overall, I really enjoyed it, although the eel was probably my least favorite of the flight just personal preference. The crispy tuna rice was easily the star of the meal! Crispy, flavorful, and the textures worked so well together. I would 100% order that again. The ramen, however, was just okay for me. It wasn't bad or inedible, but the broth was lacking that rich, deep flavor I look for in a good bowl of ramen. A little more depth and seasoning would really take it to the next level. The service was honestly one of the highlights. Our waiter was super friendly, cool, and attentive without hovering, which I always appreciate. Overall, there were definitely more hits than misses. The great service, fun atmosphere, and crispy tuna rice are enough for me to give Full Moon Izakaya another try. Next time, I'll be exploring more of the menu!

    5 star dinner restaurant in Central Phoenix. Asian noodle focus with bao buns. Drinks, service,…read moreand entrees were all top notch. Able to get a reservation for Thursday night at 6.30. Most of the lower set tables were taken so the rez came in handy. Ample bar seating available however. Greeted right away by server and offered drink menus. Both the drinks were phenomenal. I originally wanted the Asahi but they were out of it so they gave me a Japanese Lager from Los Angeles (?), blanking on the name. The Caipirinia was the other drink which was made authentically as well. No complaints on the bartender. Food was 3 Bao Buns and a Chow Mein entree with grilled chicken added on top. This was the perfect amount of food for 2 people. The Bao Buns were extremely soft and light on the breading. If you get them from Din Tai Fung they tend to be dough heavy. These were NOT like that. Chicken and Eggplant buns were tasty and had a light kick to them. Noodles were probably the weakest items, I prefer the rice/flat noodles, but these were normal chow mein noodles. But I had to split the dish with my dining companion who enjoyed the noodles quite a bit. I'd go with Udon or Flat Noodles next time and ask them to add chili flakes. No room for dessert but it sounded delicious, something with bananas. Mhmmm!

There were still about 4 groups still in the restaurant, but was mainly open. I could see this place getting busy during the weekends though, so recommend a res if you're here during peak hours. We started with cold sake and a couple of cocktails. Super cute and yummy drinks, creative and complimented the overall theme. The Asahi beer was huge and came with an ice cold glass, perfect! We got the orange chicken and drunken noodles with added chicken breast. The food was fresh and tasty. I liked that the orange chicken came with rice, and was not overly breaded. The drunken noodles were pretty salty but overall good. These two entrees were enough for two people to take a little bit of leftovers home. Recommend for a nice date night or if looking for some Asian fusion. We'll be back!

We were nearby for a show, and decided to stop in on a Wednesday evening for a late dinner with some friends. They have a good happy hour menu, and my friends ordered off there, but I was craving sushi so I got the nigiri omakase. It came with miso soup, which I enjoyed, definitely hard to go wrong there. The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

We arrived a little after 5pm and the restaurant was mostly empty. But in the next 20 minutes it filled up and there was open sitting at the bar only. The mood was initially quiet but quickly turned more up beat as the restaurant filled and pop rock music was playing. We asked our waiter a few questions about a few of their rolls and he was very helpful with guidance and recommendations. We ordered Salmon Lemon, Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado Maki and California rolls to share for two. This restaurant uses purple rice rather than traditional white rice. This was the first time we have tried a sushi roll made with purple rice and we both loved it. It added a nutty flavor and hearty texture. Purple rice is similar to wild rice and far nutritionally superior to white rice with more antioxidant and fiber. Shortly after we ordered we were served a potsticker dish. I mentioned that we did not order the item and were informed the appetizer was complementary. We thanked the server and tasted the dish. The potstickers were nicely pan fried and had a great crust and flavorful chicken filling. Delicious! About five minutes later our rolls were delivered. All were fresh tasting and delicious. Our favorite was the Salmon Lemon roll. We loved the pop the lemon added. Honorable mentions to the Spicy Tuna roll, very well done, excellent balance of heat and flavors. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended for a quality sushi experience!
