    Spicy Mayu Tonkotsu Ramen
    Lucy L.

    Came here spontaneously with my sister as we were in the area. Didn't have any expectations but the server was friendly & made sure to check on us. There was plenty of seating inside and it was nice and clean. We both got the spicy tonkatsu ramen and did the level 2 slice. We were told it's similar to hot Cheetos spice level so we both confidently knew we could handle it. I could probably do level 3 next time. The broth was tasty and i love that they char the pork. The soft boiled egg was cooked to perfection as well. It was a pleasant surprise and I would come back if I were in the area again!

    Cucumber Salad
    Kendall N.

    Came for dinner today and it was great! I got the kimchi ramen and it was delicious! I also got the cucumber salad which I really like. The ramen had excellent flavor. I think all the ramen here is very good. I don't like super spicy foods but you can order it on a range from one to five if you want it really hot. Our food came reasonably fast. It was busy when we arrived but then it cleared out. When we left a few more people were coming in.

    Can I give a 10 star? Cause this is some of the best ramen I've ever had. We saw the reviews for this place so we wanted to check it out. I will tell yall it's a small place. It can fill up fast but everything. There was perfect. The server was super nice quick and helpful. We even had the manager come up and help with the menu for recommendations. They do have two location This location is known for the ramen and noodles. Now the best part, the ramen itself was so flavorful. I got the Mayu tonkotsu ramen and it had the best broth I've ever had. Paired with the black garlic oil. And the pork for it. Chefs kiss. We even saw a regular who said out loud he's there every Sunday and as soon as he sat down the server just said his order and the regular smile and thanked him for remembering. Come to this place. I know we are coming back to taste more of the delicious food

    This location is featured in Yelp's Top 100 Ramen Shops 2025 (According to Yelp Reviewers). Any time Yelp has a list, I'm always trying to check out the ones in the Phoenix area near me. My fellow Yelpers are always supporting local and have some of the best suggestions, so I invited two friends to go along with me to try on Boxing Day (day after Christmas). Upon arrival, I noticed it was a small location and parking was a bit tricky with the Discount Tire sharing the parking lot. The place was packed 30 minutes after opening, but easy to do with the size of the location. There are 8 tables (24 seats), so this place fills up quickly. No worries as I'm always willing to wait for good food, but wanted to note so others can plan ahead. What We Ordered: - Garlic Edamame - Cucumber Salad - Gyoza - Chicken Fried Rice - Mayu Tonkotsu Ramen - Shio Chicken Ramen Overall, we were fairly happy with all the food. Though my ramen was pretty oily, but that could be a me thing as typically I eat a vegetarian ramen. My friend remarked it looked more oily than hers, and was a little odd comparative to other ramen we've had before. Still had a great flavor, and I'd definitely return to try a different version. Definitely get the garlic edamame every visit as it's some of the best I've ever add - perfect flavor and crunch! If you are in the area and craving ramen, check out this location!

    It's so yummy and so good I highly recommend the owner is really nice and cool. I got the ramen and it was so good I didn't even take a picture when I first got it, it was too good to even stop eating!!! Thank you for the amazing food and service!!

    Mayu Tonkotsu Ramen (add corn)
    Ariel S.

    Love that this place is so close to home. My favorite ramen is the Mayu Tonkatsu, with added corn. I have never seen this place empty, and I doubt I ever will because it is so good. Even though it seems busy, the staff is always very helpful about menu items or suggestions for new guests, and I have never had to wait longer than 10 minutes for a table. I look forward to coming back.

    We have lived near Daruma for a year now and we decided we wanted ramen for lunch and we pass this place everyday. We got there early like right at open we sat by the window. The waiter was so nice and he genuinely cared about our experience. He recommended different items, spice levels, and appetizers. Everything was so yummy and so fresh. I got the Sapporo Miso Butter Ramen level 2 spice, it was the perfect balance. I will be going here often and bringing new people when I do come back. Everyone should try it.

    Udon soup and crispy tuna rice portions
    Samantha N.

    First time trying this place and I ordered it to go. Everything was really good. At first, I thought the crispy tuna rice portions were a little too big. When I opened the box and saw there were only four, I was like wow, that's it? But the pieces are actually huge, so it ends up being worth the price. That said, I think the flavor balance would be even better if they made the pieces slightly smaller and served six instead. I also got the udon soup, which was great. Just a classic udon, and you really can't go wrong with that. Service was quick and efficient, and when I walked in to pick up my order, the restaurant had a darker, cozy ambiance that I liked. Overall, a solid experience and I'd definitely go back.

    We were looking for a new sushi place and we have found it! Went on a Thursday and they have happy hour prices all day mon-thursday all day. Their regular prices aren't that bad either though. We got a lot of the basic rolls, vegas roll, crunch roll....it was all amazing! The staff is friendly and on top of refilling drinks. We will definitely be back cant wait to try the rest of their menu!

    Bekah S.

    We tried three different types of Ramen, gyoza, chicken fried rice and cucumber salad! Wow 10/10! 100/10! The Kimchi Ramen is out of this world! I'll be dreaming of the cucumber salad forever! Everything was so flavorful and incredible. The service was incredible! Shout out to James! This is the kind of service that makes an incredible meal a magnificent one. Thank you Daruma for one of our best 2025 meals!

    Japanese melon drink
    Alan B.

    I was shocked to see a place rated 4.9 stars, but I now see why. The place has bench tables, and made the most of their space. I ordered the Japanese carbonated melon drink, I had no clue how to open it. The gentleman that brought me the drink, patiently showed me how to use it. It about blew up on me, but it's probably due to user error aka me. I ordered the sui gyoza and the tonkatsu ramen with chicken and bean sprouts added. The broth for the sui gyoza was phenomenal!! I actually wish I could take home a large cup of the broth! Best broth I've had! There was something else in it, I made sure to mix it before trying it. My ramen was also very very good, I was so full when I left!! Definitely coming back!

    Ramen

    Was looking for a good local ramen place and this is it! Totally agree with all the great reviews. Worth the HYPE! I got the spicy tonkatsu ramen and my fiancé got the spicy miso ramen.so tasty and flavorful! I loved both! We dined in and it was a fun little date night! Absolutely go, you will thank yourself later! Overall service was great, and the food better!

    My coworkers and I wanted some sushi rolls for lunch, so we decided to give Daruma a try. For a togo order everything was delicious! I would recommend.

    Decent ramen. Service is quick. Plave is very small. Probably won't go back. The chicken in the ramen is fried chicken.

    I came to this restaurant after spending all day at the hospital across the street for my daughter…read moreso I was hungry and emotionally drained. When I walked in, I was promptly directed to where I should go so I could place a takeout order. The genuine courtesy of the staff here was just what I needed after a long day. Lots of great options for sushi but ramen sounded amazing on a chilly winter day. I ordered a couple options and requested for the toppings to be separated so my picky eater could pick out what she didn't like. The food was out promptly and packaged with such care. Once I got it back to my daughter's hospital room, we were able to feast on the best meal we had all day. I will definitely be coming back to this place again and I am grateful for their kindness just when I needed it. Highly recommend!

Anyway, this was only the second time I've ever eaten restaurant Ramen. The first time was so-so. And I was eager to see how much better it could be. So my wife started to do a little research and found that Daruma had really good reviews. So we gave it a shot. I have to say that I was very impressed with my Ramen. It was galaxy's better than the first one I tried. I can't wait to try a different one next time. Aside from the wonderful food. The staff there was really nice. They greeted us right away and quickly got us seated. Our server was also very friendly and attentive. The dining area was pretty clean and inviting too!

When the right food finally arrived, it was actually tasty....big portions, bold flavors ...but getting there felt like a customer service obstacle course. Lots of back-and-forth, lots of confusion, zero accountability. Clean enough, plenty of menu options, family-friendly seating, but honestly, it's hard to enjoy dinner when you're double-checking receipts and fighting mystery charges. Bottom line: food has potential, service needs a reality check. If you go, watch your order... and your bill

    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

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.

Lots of parking as it is surrounded office buildings and a pickle/fitness center.
