My go-to order is the Wagyu A5 ramen -- rich, flavorful, and always hits the spot. I also love getting their nigiri, which is another must-order for me. The atmosphere reminds me a lot of being in Japan. It can get a little cozy and tight inside, but honestly, I think that's part of the experience and adds to the charm. Mensho is definitely a place I keep coming back to. If you're looking for great ramen and Japanese food in Arizona, this is one of my favorite spots to add to your list!!

GKO had too much gobo, the broth was honestly too thick and creamy. I would honestly rate it a 5/10. Spicy toripaitan was better than the GKO, but still only about a 6/10. Presentation was nice, but I can't see myself making the drive back, unfortunately. Staff was attentive and fast though! Restaurant was clean.

We started with the cucumber salad, which was wonderfully crisp and refreshing, followed by the spicy wontons. Those were a particular highlight, with a beautifully aromatic sauce featuring an almost licorice-like herbal note and just enough heat to keep things interesting. The chicken xiao long bao were delicate, savory, and filled with flavorful broth. We also tried the sheng jian bao combo, which had pillowy-soft tops and beautifully crisp, sesame-studded bottoms without any excess oiliness. The restaurant can get busy, but the kiosk waitlist makes the process straightforward, and service was attentive once seated. A satisfying little dumpling destination that punches well above its price point!

You'll have to order your food from the QR code on the table. Remember to order a side of rice for your entree, it does not automatically come with one.

I had a nice dinner with friends here at Claypot Kitchen in the Mesa Asian District. This was my…read moreintroduction to the art of cooking in a clay pot. I found the food to be very flavorful. The clay pot heats up more slowly and more evenly than a metal pot. This slower process makes it more ideal for simmered soups, braised or tender baked meats and perfectly cooked rice. Whenever I make rice in a rice cooker at home, I love to pick at and eat the overcooked portions of rice that accumulate on the sides of the pot. The rice that is cooked in a clay pot comes out a little scorched (not burnt) and absorbs the flavor of the juices and the meat that is cooked with it. It is so good! I had the Pork Ribs with Black Bean Sauce Claypot Rice (No. 21) and some Spicy Dumplings my first time here. Their menu has a variety of protein choices that you can choose from to enjoy in your claypot rice. They also have Claypot Congee (rice porridge), noodles and a variety of soups on the menu. Everything was wonderful and the service was great. I'm looking forward to a return visit. The parking lot for Claypot Kitchen is small and can be a little crowded at times.

We grabbed a private table near the window to enjoy the sunset. We ordered the Papaya salad as an appetizer to share, my friend had the Tom Yum soup as an entree and I had the Green Curry spicy. The salad and soup were ordered medium heat. We had water with lemon and shared a Asahi beer. The Papaya salad was delicious, fresh and had a little heat. The Tom Yum soup was excellent, creamy, wonderful coconut and lemon grass flavors. The Green Curry was one of the best curry dishes I've ever had. Deep and complex flavors, creamy coconut offset the heat perfectly. The atmosphere was causal and relaxed. The server was friendly and helpful in answering a few questions we had about the menu. Never had to ask for water refills as service was very prompt. We look forward to returning very soon. Highly recommended for excellent Thai cuisine with bold flavors!

Turns out, that was a fantastic decision. We ordered the Jajangmyeon and Tangsuyuk, and both were outstanding. The Jajangmyeon had the perfect amount of rich, fermented black bean flavor without being overwhelming. The Tangsuyuk was incredibly crispy, and the sauce struck that magical balance between sweet and sour that keeps you reaching for "just one more bite." By the end of the meal, nobody was talking much--which, as any parent knows, is usually the highest compliment a restaurant can receive. We'll definitely be back for the next chapter of our H Mart culinary adventure.

The jajang rice was a bit bland, carrying only mild sweet and savory notes, though the egg was well-cooked with shrimp folded inside. It also came with a small bowl of jjamppong soup on the side.

The broth was comfortably mild rather than overly spicy, and the noodles were bouncy with a satisfyingly chewy bite. Lastly, the sweet and sour pork came out as an absolute mountain: perfectly crispy and paired with warm sauce on the side.
