We came here for the first time after moving here few days ago. We'ved heard that the line can get super crazy on weekend even if they've just opened few months ago so we decided to come on Tuesday night and the line was totally acceptable. Just 1 group ahead of us. They only have 16-17 seat so we kind of understand why the line can go that crazy. However, the food came out pretty fast and they were amazing!! Since I've learnt the lesson from the a chef when I was in Japan that the fluffy omelette can get more cooked by itself from the trapped heat inside the egg, I was so excited to cut it right after we got served, and it didn't fail us at all. The omelette were literally fluffy and creamy! Oh, and the Wagyu Blend Hamburg Steak was really satisfying in terms of the size. They give you a generous portion! Would difinitely coming back to try the short rib! Recommended : Wagyu Blend Linguine Tokyo Deluxe Combo read more

We ordered beef carpaccio, rib with omurice, wagyu blend tomato pasta, and spicy miso ramen. All the meat were hard and tough to chew. The only thing we liked was the hamburg meat. That's about it. Beef carpaccio was cut super thick. Ramen had bitter aftertaste. Spaghetti was mid. I won't return. Also it was really hot in there like they didn't turn on the AC or something. read more

Kagawa Guys Tokyo Delux Combo Omurice did not fold out after cutting the omelet topping center. The Wagyu Blend Hamburger Steak was on the tougher side than what I expected from Wagyu Beef, Demi-Glace Gravy Sauce was good, just needed alot more. https://youtube.com/shorts/V5WocgxL-i4?is=9EPBEMp32CXW9Z3F There are only about 13 seats in the U shape table with one waitress, we arrived at 4:50 pm for the 5 pm Thursday opening, the 3 of us were seated right away. Trying to find the place is an adventure drove by it 3 times, then saw the address and suite 3 so I parked and walked to suite 6 where there was a white paper lantern. Would have liked to try the Ramen, but not on a 110 degree day. Traditional Japanese Decor and typical Japanese seating were there is not very big in quantity number of seats Little disappointed in the Omurice Wagyu was not as tender as expected and egg omelet did not open as does in Japan read more

3.5 stars rounded down to a 3 and here's why... I really wanted to love this place and give it a rave review, but I'm torn!! After seeing the hype on social media, I was excited to try it out with a fellow Elite! We both ordered the same thing, but everything on the menu looked good. You can add cheese or different sauces to your dish for a few extra bucks, but we didn't. So when you're driving up to find this place, it's a hole in the wall with no actual signage out front. As long as you see the Goodwill, you're in the right shopping center. It's closer to the AutoZone. Anyway, upon entry you'll find a U-shaped dining room where only about 20 diners can enjoy a meal. They also don't take reservations so it's a first come, first served basis. We waited maybe 5 minutes before we were seated. When our Tokyo Style Fluffy Omelet with Braised Short Rib arrived, we were excited but nervous to cut into it. There's an instruction sheet that tells you step by step how to cut and enJOY your Omurice. What it doesn't tell you is NOT to cut through the egg!! What you want to do is cut ONLY the top layer ever so slightly so as not to disturb the "fluffy" egg that's supposed to drape over your rice. If you cut all the way through the egg, you will end up with (let me just say it straight up... you be the judge from my pic, lol) a v_ g looking egg!!! LOL I'm sorry, I know you can't unsee my pics!!! That being said, the short rib didn't seem to be "braised." I have braised short ribs myself and the meat pretty much falls off the bone. Although the dish itself was flavorful, the meat was not as tender as a braised beef dish should be. I ate all of mine, but it was not the experience I had hoped for. I realize they just opened about a month ago, so I'm going to sit back and let them work out some kinks. I am all for supporting local small businesses and I really want this place to thrive. My first time here wasn't the best, but I do intend to return in the future. I'd also like to add that we weren't the only patrons who were disappointed. Our egg was slightly overcooked which is why we didn't get the full "egg draping" experience. The guy next to us did it right and his egg was definitely not as cooked as ours! Service wasn't bad. There was only one lady serving everyone, but I think a second person could make it better. She was nice. They also were limited on drinks. I asked for a Sprite but all they had was Diet Coke. They do give you tap water but no ice. I ended up with a sparkling water. Prices aren't astronomical and there's ample parking. Just be sure to look for the little white lantern when you roll up. I hope your "eggsperience" is better than mine! read more

This review is meant to be constructive while also understanding they have been open only a month or so. After seeing a reel on IG, I was so excited to finally try this Japanese omelette with a friend. If my friend wouldn't have given me a heads up of the unmarked restaurant front, I wouldn't have found it. It's not easy to see or know where their door is (tip- there's a lantern hanging in front of the door). Positives: The menu had many entree items that looked delicious and the prices seemed reasonable. The table area was pretty cool and has a Japanese feel to it. Constructive Criticism & Observations: The instructions of how to cut the omelette were made wrong and tells you to cut it in the wrong direction (confirmed by the employee when asked). We asked specifically for instructions on how to cut it since we didn't want to mess it up too. The omelette I got (and several others got) were overcooked and didn't have runny insides. We informed the server, no remedy was offered. That's the whole reason for coming here is the proper cook and experience. The advertised braised ribs did not seem to be braised. They were hard and overcooked. Mine had barely any meat in it. The customer service overall is lacking significantly. There didn't seem to be any care, concern, or attempt to "make it right" or re do the egg to have the experience we were enticed by online. I would not recommend the short ribs based on this experience. Another customer for 2 ribs and way more meat on theirs along with a perfectly cooked egg. This also shows quality control with portions and meat portions aren't currently present. There are other items that looked good like the pasta and hamburger patty. I would consider giving them another try but not until it's been a while and improvements in customer service and quality control are seen by other's experiences. I hope this is taken as intended and improvements and care for the customer's food and experience are considered. read more

Had my first ever omurice here! Of course I cut thru it even though there were clear instructions. Honestly really enjoyed the food. The potato gratin was super creamy and delicious. And the omurice was unlike anything I've had before. Anna was awesome. Showed up 30 minutes before close but they were super hospitable. The food was priced so reasonably. Only around 10-12 seats so it sort of reminded me of midnight diner. Would definitely come back read more

Went to the soft opening week for Kagawa guys after seeing pictures of the food and I'm very happy they opened a location in Mesa. They are apart of the same ramen spot, Ramen Kagawa in downtown Phoenix and they deliver amazing food. Kagawa Guys is a smaller restaurant with a very Japanese designed restaurant that delivers amazing food and service. I was very drawn to the Yokohama Tonkotsu Ramen and the Tokyo deluxe combo. First the Ramen was exactly what we needed in Mesa. The chasu has a nice soy marinade and thick cut that pretty much all the ramen places in the area don't do. The broth was a nice deep flavor with pretty solid noodles. I was very impressed and I feel this is the best ramen in the valley. They have other ramen that are going to be on the menu or have specials throughout the week. For the Tokyo Deluxe Combo, it was an amazing dish with and incredible demi glaze sauce. The Waygu paddy with the soft, fluffy omelette on top of the rice was amazing. Very filling, but an incredible dish. I'll say this is the best Ramen you will find in Mesa and a good chance in the valley. It's very authentic to Japan in many ways. Excellent restaurant and can't wait to go back read more

Ramen Kagawa has opened a sister location specializing in omurice and I'm all for it. It's quite rare to have that dish (besides Korean style in Asiana) in the valley. Since I went during their soft opening, understands there's no signage and most likely kinks are being ironed out etc. The interior has a U-shaped bar style seating so there may be difficulty getting large parties seated. I ordered the delux which features the wagyu patty steak, and the omelette with demiglace over rice. The beef was flavorful and sauce was great. The egg was cooked perfectly in a custard and curdle mix. Service was great and friendly. I've been dining at their ramen restaurant in downtown for years as a go to lunch spot for work so I knew this place would not disappoint. read more

Came in on a Tuesday evening right when they opened. The restaurant is on the smaller side and can probably fit about 15 people at a time. The outside is interesting, there isn't a sign yet, just a lantern, which gives it a bit of a speakeasy vibe. Service was fast. The portions are slightly smaller, but the food was good overall. The salmon carpaccio tasted fresh, and the beef short rib was nice and tender. The omurice was great, although the flavor was on the lighter side. The burger patty was very thick and delicious as well. One thing I do hope they add is a little show with the omurice! It would be cool to watch them cut open the omelet and pour the sauce tableside. I completely failed at doing it myself, so it would be fun to see it done the proper way. I didn't get a chance to try the ramen this time, so I definitely want to come back and give it a try on my next visit. read more

We came during the soft opening and were the only ones there! The space is small but the layout is super thoughtful in a U shape which reminds me of Asia. Our server was so kind. We got the tonkotsu ramen and the omurice with Hamburg steak. The egg was perfect! We cut into it and it plopped on the rice perfectly. The ramen was also super flavorful and we added an egg. We're definitely going to be back. So happy a omurice place exists in Phoenix! read more

We arrived just 30 minutes after opening and only had to wait about 15 minutes for seats. It was a bit difficult to find the restaurant since the only thing that denote that we were at the right place was a white paper lantern hanging above the door on the outside and a small paper taped to the door. The inside has an interesting setup. It is essentially one long U-shaped table that everyone sit on the outsides of that was a bit awkward. It was also very warm inside the restaurant. We had the Tokyo Carbonara, Salmon Carpaccio, and the Tokyo Deluxe Combo. The Salmon Carpaccio was tasty with a very nice citrusy sauce that served it well. It was a little pricey at $9 for only 4 pieces of salmon, and I will say the slices themselves were all cut at varying sizes, some thicker, some thinner. The thicker cuts were great! Very easily the best part of the meal was the Tokyo Carbonara. The sauce & the bacon were excellent, but the texture of the noodles was nothing special. It also was topped with an omelet, which was cooked well. Mixing the egg in with the pasta made it a little creamier, which I enjoyed. The Tokyo Deluxe was just okay. The rice was nothing special, and the hamburg steak was essentially just meatloaf with a demi-glace sauce that tasted similar to, no joke, Chef Boyardee Ravioli sauce. Those two components of the dish were just alright. The star of the dish, the omelet on top, was cooked well but did not fold out once cut down the middle which was a bit disappointing, but could have been due to user error. The food in general was good, but nothing entirely special. I would also like to mention... The most disappointing aspect of the experience was the usage of AI on the menu and signage on the door. Both the online and in-person menu utilize generated AI images to depict how the dishes are supposed to look upon ordering them. The actual presentation of the dishes were really nice and appetizing in-person, so the restaurant owners choosing to use Generative AI instead of taking pictures of their actual food or hiring actual graphic designers for their menu is extremely disappointing, disingenuous, and lazy. It feels insincere to me to show off pictures of food that are not pictures of the actual dishes the chefs create in the kitchen. read more

Uni pasta really good. OMU rice good. Would go again. Probably skip the ramen and the hamburg though. read more

Carbonara was better than the deluxe combo. They serve hot tap water for refreshments no ice in 110* Az weather. Room was so hot I had to fan myself with a piece of paper. Influencers got their food before other people. Was given a 25-30 minute wait and it took over 45 minutes to seat us then another 25 minutes to get served. Will not be returning. read more
