Miso Dumpling Ramen
Anthony M.

A beautiful little place out in Laveen! The food is delicious, I am a big fan of Ramen and Ja Ramen did not disappoint. Ive come here twice now. The Miso Ramen was amazing the first time. The second visit I got a Miso Dumpling Ramen bowl and that was also delicious!! One small downside is the service. They are very friendly but seem short staffed and the food does take a little longer than normal to prepare. Luckily, they have entertaining anime shows playing on the big screen to pass the time. 4.5/5.0 stars easy!

Curry ramen
Esmeralda M.

Deeeeeeelicious! Went today with my boyfriend and we loved it! We got the squid salad as an app, and the curry ramen and tonkatsu ramen! Both were delicious, perfect egg! It was busy when we went and service was helpful and nice! The restaurant is so cute!! Perfect for a bowl of ramen before Christmas. Prices were great! I think this may be our new fav ramen joint. I think from 2-5 or something it's $2 off apps, and while we did order an appetizer when we got the bill it was regular price. Our bad for not speaking up, but we also didn't really care. The food was good, and we were okay with paying for tasty food. We will be back!

Shrimp tempura udon ramen and chicken curry.

Our first time here and we were not sure what to expect, it smelled amazing when we walked in the door. The decor is so pretty and makes you feel like you enter a different world. We really enjoyed the food it was very flavorful and before this I used to not like ramen ! We got 1 order to the tempura udon noodles, 1 order of gyoza and 1 order of chicken curry for $40, which is not bad at all ! The service was quick and friendly, we will be returning and trying other menu items !

Tonkatsu Ramen
Lindsey M.

Shockingly found an amazing Ramen shop in Laveen. We were seated right away and the staff greeted us all. They were all so kind and helpful. I saw lots of great reviews for Ja Ramen so on one of my last nights in Arizona, we decided to try them out. I've been 3rd degree burned before by Asian restaurants in Arizona so this was a gamble for me. I went with the classic Tonkatsu to test the bar. They also have seafood and chicken ramen. Plus vegetarian and vegan options. Let alone a seperate page for Japanese Curry. What we loved is that they have a "naked ramen" which is just noodles and broth for a reasonable price. Then you can add whatever you wanted. It seemed very popular with the kids around us. We have only one good ramen shop in Colorado, which we frequent. Ja Ramen is a legit co-winner in our books. Savory, packed with ingredients and flavor. The tonkatsu pork was thick, buttery, and delicate. Their chili oil packs a kick. And again the service is amazing. Don't miss out! I'm keeping the on the list for when we return.

Curry chicken. Tasty
Annette I.

Let me start off by saying the food was tasty We walked in at 130. The music was loud and not the type of music I want to hear during lunch. One of the songs was Don't You Wish Your Girlfriend was Hot Like Me. WhileI like that type of music, again it's not something I want to hear while I'm eating my lunch.. An employee came to ask us what we would like to drink. I asked if he had Diet Coke and when he looked, he said we're out of Diet Coke. Then we both asked for unsweetened iced tea. When he brought it to us, we realized it was green tea. I had to ask if they had some type of other tea, perhaps Lipton ice tea. She did so she brought us what we wanted. BTW - the tea was out of a bottle. I asked for fake sugar. She brought me real sugar when I asked for fake sugar, again, she said she didn't know if they had fake sugar. She went to go check. She came back and said that her manager said all they had was honey.. She then brought us our appetizers, but no plates. I had to ask for plate plates. We got our food, it was hot and it was good. Lastly, she brought the box out so I could pay and she added that they could not accept tips electronically, only by cash. Unfortunately, for her, I did not have any cash. She said that was OK. Would I come here again? Probably not.

ONE OF LAVEENS FINEST! This is one of my favorite Laveen restaurants! A small, cute, and aesthetically pleasing designed restaurant with delicious food and drinks. They have really good happy hour deals, so definitely come during the week. I've had good service every time I've been here. Even when I had some party members running late, a kind server would come over right away to get their drink order as soon as they came in. I've tried about half of their appetizers and they were all good! I don't even live in Arizona anymore, but when I visit I stay with family near Laveen and always hit this place up with friends or family!

Curry fries are delicious!
Steve M.

I've been here a dozen times and I've always been happy. Food is great quality staff is attentive. P.S. Don't tell anybody cause I don't wanna lose my seat at the bar

Good quality everything. Very enjoyable food, and the staff are the best, genuinely nice. Food is good, staff is great.

The food was great!!! Really filling and honestly it's such a cool little spot and I can see it get really packed during the weekend. I went with my coworker on a Wednesday for lunch, it was a great experience. It did take a bit of time to get out food but once it was out it was amazing. Also love all the anime everywhere!!!

Miso Dumpling Ramen
Mia O.

This is the best place in Phoenix. My husband and I go in once a week or so because the curry is SO good. I'm pregnant and crave their curry every day and no matter how I try I just can't get it the way the owner here does. This location is always so accommodating and kind. It's our families favorite. 10/10 recommend.

Spicy tonkotsu (sub pork for chicken) extra chili oil.
Claris B.

I was so worried to go there because I don't eat pork but I'm so glad they accepted substituting the pork for chicken. Good service Clean environment Good food Will definitely be coming back, idc if it's weird to eat hot ramen in 115 degrees weather.

The staff is kind of slow and because the food seems to be made fresh, ordering and receiving your food will take a while. The fried noodles with beef were great both times. I definitely recommend the appetizer sampler. I will say that the spring rolls have a strong mint presence, and the egg rolls may taste a little fishy. The sandwhich was delicious and left nothing to be desired. The yellow chicken curry was good in flavor but needed to be cooked a little longer as we felt it was a little watery for our taste.

They have some vegetarian options including Veggie crispy egg roll (cha gio chay) which is our family favorite. Their spring rolls you can also order with a wide variety of fillings from charbroiled beef to shrimp and bbq pork. Pho is hot and filling and service is always up to par. Their indoor seating area is very small and their outdoor seating is of course too hot for summer time. However, their food is just as good to-go as dine in. The only negative about this place is that they randomly close certain times and appear to have staffing issues. Call ahead to make sure they are open.

I am speechless to how good this is, its not super tiramisu-esq in flavor, yet their own rendition is impeccable, flavor and texture alike! I hope you guys try this little local shop, and I hope they have a fruitful future. Thanks again to the owners for a wonderful dinner :)

Unfortunately, I visited today for the first time in a while and left feeling really disappointed, it's changed, and not for the better. I always order the Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen (no meat, replace with egg, extra egg, add corn and cabbage). I was surprised to be told they no longer offer cabbage, which was one of my favorite additions. The eggs were also different. They used to be served whole, and I loved slicing into them to reveal that beautiful golden yolk. This time they arrived already sliced, and once the broth was added, the yolks started to cook. I was also given a side of arugula, which honestly has no place in a ramen bowl. It felt very out of place. There were also pickled carrots, which I ended up removing, not for me. The broth was noticeably greasier than before, which was another letdown. I immediately texted my best friend (the one who originally introduced me to this place) and she shared the same thoughts. She even mentioned telling her server, "Don't mess with a good thing," and that really sums it up. I'm truly sad to say this experience left me very disappointed, and I may have to start looking for a new ramen spot. WHHHHHHYYYYYYY

The interior was trendy, with wood floors and walls, industrial ceiling and top 40 music playing. I ordered the Spicy Tuna Tempura Roll, the Sunshine Roll and an iced tea. In all, it came to $28.72 plus tip. The tea was rather large, which was refreshing for today's restaurants. My lunch arrived in about 15 mins, mostly because a table for four sat down right before me and they were rather needy. The sunshine roll was different than any other sunshine roll I'd had. Their menu descriptions were rather minimal but I was expecting lemon and got masego (roe). It was okay but not what whetted my appetite The tuna roll was a vey pleasant surprise though. I assumed the shrimp tempura would be the only fried aspect but the entire roll was fried after assembly. Very good balance of savory to saucy, heat to cool and soft to crunchy. I'd order that roll again. I'll come back, next time I'm in the area.

Our waitress comes to us and takes our drinks and orders. She came back to advise us that they were out of the cucumber salad. I ask if she could add something to my order (I wanted to add an egg to my ramen, not on the side but in the ramen) to which she acknowledged. Roughly 10 mins later, a new waiter brings me out an egg in a bowl! I politely told him I asked for it to be in my ramen, not as a side. He looks at me as if I've lost my mind, then asks if I want it in a to-go box... why?? I told him a second time, that I asked for it to be on my soup, the ramen! He walked away. Another 15 mins goes by and yet another server comes and brings out our food. Everyone around us is getting service, like multiple times, but we have yet to see our waitress. We asked a 3rd waiter if we could get sauces, which he brings out. We eat our food, and guess what...? Still no waitress. We finish our food and had to ask a fourth waiter for a to go box, and finally our waitress comes out and asks if we need anything, to which I tell her, no, we've already been taken care of! She walks away with what seemed like an attitude. Brings our check. Another 10 mins goes by and we don't see her... every other table is gettin their service from their waiters/waitress and we don't. So we get up and pay for our bill, ourselves at the hostess table. Our waitress comes up to take our bill, doesn't say anything at all. No, I'm so sorry I'm waiting multiple tables, or hey sorry I'm working both inside and outside, nothing. Besides the less than par service the food was really good!! If she would have at least communicated to us, how busy she was or is or anything, this would a be a totally different story.

Funny enough, this actually wasn't even the exact restaurant my partner had been thinking of when he brought it up, but honestly I'm so glad we ended up here anyway because the food was REALLY good. We ordered the flaming ohmygod sushi roll, and man... it was amazing. Not only was the presentation fun, but the sushi itself actually tasted incredible too, which sometimes isn't the case with more "gimmicky" menu items. It was so good that I literally ordered another roll to-go and took it on the plane back home with me because I already knew I'd be craving it later. That alone should say enough about how much I liked it. I also tried the matcha martini, and it was honestly one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. It had the perfect balance of matcha flavor and alcohol where neither one overpowered the other. Sometimes matcha drinks either taste way too earthy or completely lose the matcha flavor under the alcohol, but this one was super smooth, flavorful, and really well done. The restaurant itself also has a really nice atmosphere. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and the indoor area definitely has a more upscale vibe than your usual sushi spot and that makes the experience feel a little more elevated and perfect for a date night. On top of all that, the servers were super friendly and provided genuinely great service throughout the meal. Everyone was attentive, welcoming, and made the experience feel really comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, this place completely exceeded my expectations.
