This place is a hidden gem. Located in a strip mall, it's not big. Inside, it is bright and clean. There is a counter, and a takeout order kiosk, but for dinner in, there is table service. There are lots of Asian touches, like the mural of Mount Fuji with cherry blossoms. The menu has seen several kinds of ramen as well as several kinds of hibachi meals and side dishes. It was absolutely delicious, although someone at the table next to us got the hibachi chicken and it smelled and looked soooo good. We also got some gyoza, which was also super yummy. Our server was great. For a while, he was the only one, so he was running hard, but still was attentive and organized. This place is great. We are going back next weekend to try the hibachi. There was a constant stream of people, so it looks like others have already found this gem. read more

Wanted some ramen and searched around Yelp and decided to try this one. Nice little cozy place, friendly staff and kind of funny name for ramen place. Looking at the menu for some reason I had a feeling ramen was not going to fill me up so I decided to order appetizer. Ordered Geso Yaki (fried squid legs) and gal recommended Tantan ramen if I I like spicy. Geso Yaki came and looked pretty good with some side sweet dipping sauce. It's not really just squid legs had other parts of squid which I didn't mind. It tasted pretty good with slight crisp to it.. Batter had some seasoning which made it tastier. Then my ramen came.. Looked pretty good but portion looked small. But then again for costing $14 can't complain. Broth was nice and hearty and I couldn't quite figure out the flavor. Then I read the description and it said sesame.. Then it made little more sense of the flavor. I definitely would not call it spicy. Ramen noodle was nice and chewy just the way I like it.. Only thing I didnt like was the pork. It was not bad but I prefer the fatty melt in your mouth kind with my ramen. Over all the food was pretty darn good and price was on point. I would definitely come back here again. read more

The tantan ramen broth was extremely thin and reminiscent of flavor and spice. A pack of maruchan is more flavorful. The pork belly was cooked fine. Husband enjoyed his curry ramen. The cheese wontons were oddly sweet- I couldn't finish them. Maybe the hibachi is better? read more

Chow's Ramen & Hibachi - Back: Tantan Ramen Front: Curry Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Stopped in with some co-workers for lunch. We were seated quickly. The staff were very friendly. I ordered the hibachi combo and green tea peach boba. Everything was good. The hibachi had really good flavor. Not to mention, the serving size for lunch was perfect. The boba tea was a little too sweet for my liking. However, there was just enough boba. All in all, I'd come back and try something different. read more

Yummy and super flavorful! Great value for a bowl of ramen. Would recommend to anyone in the area

This is an all-around solid location for ramen. I give it four stars because the broth, noodles, and toppings weren't the best of what I've tried compared to other locations but they were all decent making a well-rounded ramen bowl. They are also quite reasonably priced for the portion, which I appreciate. I did really enjoy their takoyaki, I really like the crunchier outer layer and the chunks of octopus, the sauces were spot on. As someone who had many takoyaki in Japan, I would order this dish from here again. Also kudos to their iced fruit tea, I was expecting something subtle tasting like flavored water but it was nice and strong and sweet like honey tea. At time of writing, it's complementary with lunch! Lastly, they have a bumping playlist :) It's a great spot to go to, we came here before heading to the nearby movie theater. Hope this helps! read more

The quality of the food was disappointing. The meat and shrimp were overcooked, which made all of the proteins very dry.

Service was phenomenal!! Our waitress was amazing! Very attentive and helpful with the menu items. Overall personally I thought the broths and noodles were okay. The appetizers were good though! We got the Takoyaki and Geso Yaki. The Takoyaki had big pieces of octopus. The Chow's Special Ramen broth was the best one out of all the broths. The curry ramen was very watery. The restaurant was very clean! read more

A great ramen place, probably one of my top in my list! I've been here before and it's always been good. Thai tea is yummy, it's very sweet(we got with no ice nor boba). Curry ramen has a really great broth and the Takoyaki is super tender and fried. The server was super nice and helpful. We love the atmosphere inside and they have really great chopsticks! I'd keep them and reuse!! #sustainability read more

I hate these 3 star posts I really do, but there I am. For the record I'm still searching for amazing ramen in the Phoenix valley. I have been striking out. This place was on the way home and had 4.6 stars so we said let's try it! We called in our order and the employee in the phone was very nice. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, we also ordered some steamed dumplings for the kids. The restaurant is in a strip mall and when I walked In it was very clean, modern, and had a lot of people in it. As I walked to the front the food looked good. I was excited. The Togo order was packaged well, and was still very hot by the time we got home. I opened up the ramen and this is when red flags started to go up. I have no idea why local area ramen places do not use RAMEN NOODLES!! They can call these "straight ramen noodles" but in reality this is thin spaghetti noodles. These noodles were soggy, no chew, no flavor, just straight up Italian pasta noodles. So so disappointing. Even an instant ramen noodle would be a 100000% improvement over these, but no, we get this. The broth was ok, wasn't great. It was thin and watery with no viscosity. Didn't coat the noodles and just sat at the bottom of the bowl. It was salty and had a little pork flavor but nothing amazing. I couldn't tell you if it was an instant broth or if it was homemade, but it was lacking. The Chasu was actually pretty good, it was fatty, lightly crisp, but moist on the inside, and had good flavor, it had a slight five spice flavor which was nice but unexpected. The egg was pretty good as well. Overall I will be passing this place without stopping which is sad. The hunt continues for an amazing ramen spot that uses actual ramen noodles ‍ read more

We have been getting takeout from here since it opened and the food is spot on quality and consistent. We have had the hibachi dinners and the chicken chow mein and fried rice and it's such a good value for what you receive. I used to not like a lot of Chinese takeout because I found it to be greasy but this is definitely not. Food is fresh and healthy and you feel that they really care about their craft. This is a neighborhood gem! read more

Great little Raman restaurant, they have Raman, boba, chow ming, fried rice and hamachi dishes. They have pretty good Raman,l for the price, a lot of them are about 13$ which is pretty cheap. The service is fast and they are nice! The place is a small little restaurant which lots of tables for seating and it's nice and neat. read more

We went for dinner 3 nights ago and came away disappointed. We started with the fried dumplings, they were very good then dinner took a turn. The Ramen was kind of salty but the big disappointment was the combination platter. The shrimp, chicken and steak were all overcooked and not sure what kind of steak it was but look and taste was off. How the place got 4.6 out of five is beyond belief.

Chow's Ramen & Hibachi - Started eating before I took the photo. - Japanese Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Ordered take out for lunch online. Ordering system worked well and I got a text to pick up when it was ready. The vegan ramen was excellent. Probably the best vegan/vegetarian broth I've had from nearby options. Spring rolls were also very solid. The interior is small but cute and clean though they have really overpowering air fresheners. It's really unusual to encounter this in food establishments as it interferes with taste for people who are dining in. As someone with a fragrance allergy, I would never be able to pop in to Chow's for more than a second to grab takeout. read more

Chow's Ramen & Hibachi - 2. Tonkotsu Ramen - Japanese Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I was craving ramen and looked up "best ramen near me". Chow's was one of the recommend restaurants. I decided to try this place and I am glad I did. I went with my son and we both enjoyed this restaurant. As soon as we walked in we were greeted with a smile and seated right away. Our server was friendly and attentive. I ordered a jasmine tea. Our server asked if I wanted it sweet or unsweetened. When I asked how sweet the tea is, because I don't like super sweet tea, she offered to do 1/2 and 1/2. She made sure I was happy with it when I tasted it. The tea was perfect and delicious. I ordered shrimp tempura for my appetizer and my son ordered takoyaki. We both enjoyed our appetizers. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and my son ordered the katsu ramen. My ramen was amazing! The broth was savory and rich. One of the best ramen I've ever had. My son enjoyed his ramen and also said it was one of the best he's had. If you want amazing ramen and amazing service you have to try Chow's. I cannot wait to go back to try more dishes. I think I have found my go-to place when I'm craving ramen. read more

Chow's Ramen and Hibachi was an amazing experience to celebrate the Lunar New Year. When we walked in, we were able to get a seat with no issue. We were given a menu and a lot of time to decide. We ordered two servings of fried chicken wings and one serving of fried tofu. For noodles, we ordered Chicken Chow Mein and for ramen, we ordered Katsu ramen and Tantan ramen( vegetarian style: no pork broth, no pork, and replaced with vegetarian alternatives) and top it all down with 3 strawberry ramunes. The wait time was not long. We got fried tofu first and it was really good and was served pretty hot. Afterwards, we got our fried chicken and our meals all together. The Katsu ramen was super delicious. The fried chicken was super crispy and savory in the broth and as I kept eating the ramen, all the flavors and textures just all came together to make such a satisfying meal. My partner and sister enjoyed their meals so much that it made their day for the rest of the night. Another thing we really appreciated about this place was our waitress. She was very sweet and kind and made sure we enjoyed our meal and didn't suffer any issues. She was understanding and made sure everything ran smoothly when we ordered food. Everything was clean, there was a short wait time, we had an amazing waiter, the food was really good, and had no issues at all. 100% satisfaction, would come again, would recommend to others. read more

While the name gives the impression of a Chinese/japanese fusion, the menu of Chow's ramen is authentically Japanese through and through. It has all the different ramen broths you would expect to have, and a plethora of Japanese appetizers like Takoyaki and fried ika. The Takoyaki was quite tasty but the fried ika was a little off and not quite as tasty as others I've had. I also wish it had a lemon (as is traditionally served) to brighten it up. This ultimately sum up the ramen experience too. Toppings were great and the noodles were good. However the broth didn't quite hit all the right notes for a ramen. Overall the service was polite and the food tasty, but for true ramen taste to satisfy your authentic ramen cravings there are better options. read more

We came here late at night to hang out with good company and have ramen and takoyaki. It was very quiet in the restaurant as most customers were not dining at that time. The service was very attentive and we were well attended for. We ended up ordering Chow's Special Ramen, Curry Ramen, Takoyaki, and Geso Yaki. However, personally for me, the ramen came up a short on expectations. Something about the soup and noodles was not good like an authentic ramen. read more

I am sooo happy to have taken a chance on chow's and have even brought food home more than once. To me, this has been the closest to Chinese food from back home(NY). The pork fried rice (I know a simple dish) but has so much flavor and it has the yummiest little bits of the spare ribs that hit the spot. The space is clean and mostly anti go spot. And the service has been friendly each time we have placed and order and at pick up. I'll be back for sure when I'm craving some pork fried rice. Lol. xx read more

We tried both the Shoyu and the spicy miso and both of the broths were amazing. Fast service with reasonable price.

I ordered the Chow's Special Ramen. It was pretty good. I think the broth could have been a bit richer and definitely hotter. It was only lukewarm when it came out. The ingredients in the bowl would have been much better if they were in almost boiling broth, rather than warm. The ingredients did seem very fresh, however. I really enjoyed the real chopsticks (versus the disposable ones). The waitress was very friendly. The whole place, including the bathroom, was spotless. I will certainly give it another try. read more

Great restaurant. Our waitress was so nice and checked up on us many times. She also offered us a complimentary fruit tea. The appetizers, the tofu and the cheese wontons, didn't stand out to me flavor wise. However the main dishes were great.
