Kazu Ramen is one of my absolute favorite spots and conveniently close to home -- and after finally sitting down to dine in for the first time after years of ordering to go, I can confidently say this place is a ten out of ten either way you experience it. Growing up in a Japanese household, Japanese food and authentic flavors are deeply personal to me. I know what the real thing tastes like, and Kazu Ramen delivers. The flavors are genuine, comforting, and done with care -- exactly what a great bowl of ramen should be. The sushi rolls are equally impressive and hold their own alongside the ramen. The ambiance is warm and inviting, the customer service is consistently on point every visit, and the place is always buzzing -- which tells you everything you need to know. A busy restaurant with great service means they're doing something right. My only minor note is that the selection of additional sides could be expanded -- I'd love to see more options to round out the meal. But that is a small wish for an otherwise outstanding spot. Whether you dine in or order to go, Kazu Ramen is absolutely worth the visit. If you haven't experienced a bowl here yet, do yourself a favor and go. read more

The service here from was great. Yurike was so friendly and would constantly check in with us to be sure we had everything we needed. We really appreciated how attentive she was to our meal. I felt like chicken teriyaki tonight. The flavor was good but the meat itself was a little tough. I liked that it came with a portion of salad but the dressing was a little too strong of a flavor for my liking. My son loves ramen but he felt like the flavors of his spicy Kazu ramen didn't meld as well as he hoped. Overall, just an average experience. read more

First try and loved it! If you are a ramen lover and want to try something different--come to this spot! The menu is simple, and yet, have a combination and varieties for you to go for. The restaurant have enough space for big and small group and only indoor siting. The service is great, fast delivery, and very friendly. The price is reasonable and perfect portions, not too much or too little. Come and check it out yourself. read more

We were in the area for a medical appointment on nearby Boston St., and happened upon this eatery for lunch. We will be back for sure! The food was very good, as was the table service. The dishes came out quickly, even though there quite a few other customers at the time. We thought that the broth for one of the bowls was just a tad too salty, but otherwise we were very pleased with the taste and look of everything. If you are looking for ramen in the Gilbert area, this is where you should go. read more

Easy to find with plenty of parking. We arrived for an early dinner and seated within 5 minutes. Staff was friendly and clean environment. We ordered the gyoza which was just how I like them. Very authentic in flavor; then the chicken karaage which was perfectly moist, crispy and served with a side salad; next up was the tonkatsu ramen. I admit at first glance the broth looked more milky than the rich broth/cream I've had before. But, don't let that fool you. It was tastier than I thought it would be. The noodles were nice and chewy and yummy. My only comment is that it could be served a bit hotter. Other than that, I had a great experience and will return. read more

My husband and I were craving ramen one weeknight. We usually go to downtown Chandler for ramen, but decided to give Kazu Ramen a try, especially since it's much closer. We were greeted upon entering and seated right away. The restaurant isn't large, but has ample seating indoor. We shared an order of edamame to start then both ordered a veggie ramen for our entrees. It comes with veggie broth with tofu (fried or soft), bean sprout, seaweed, corn, seasoned egg served with kale noodle, and topped with green onions. We were pleasantly surprised by how tasty the veggie ramen was. It was creamy, but not thick and we loved that it came with a good portion of tofu as well as (half of) a seasoned egg. The egg is usually add on at most places. We enjoyed it so much we ordered it again a few weeks later! read more

I've lived right down the street for the past five years and can't believe this was my first time coming in. From the moment we walked in, the staff was amazing and so friendly, kind, and attentive. We were acknowledged right away, seated quickly, and felt well taken care of the entire time. Our server was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, especially since my daughter has a severe shrimp and shellfish allergy. They took it seriously, answered all of our questions, and made sure we could both order off the menu with no issues, which meant a lot to us. The place was bustling and full of people, but service was still quick and efficient. We ordered different bowls with different noodles and meats, and everything was delicious. The broth was rich and flavorful, and the meats were cooked perfectly. I'm still not sure if ramen is my go-to food in general, but I would absolutely come back here and enjoy a nice, warm bowl again. Great experience! read more

We enjoyed ramen at this location and were really impressed--especially with the chicken broth. Since we no longer eat pork, we usually expect to sacrifice some richness when substituting pork broth for chicken or veggie, but this place did not disappoint. The chicken broth was savory, flavorful, and surprisingly rich, and all of the chicken options were excellent. The ramen was super tasty overall. If I had one suggestion, it would be regarding the shrimp tempura: the shrimp could be a bit larger and the coating a little lighter. The batter tends to hold onto grease, so when you bite into it, you mainly taste the oil. That said, everything else was phenomenal. The karaage was also very good and well-seasoned. We would definitely come back, especially for the chicken-based ramen options. Roicia read more

My friends and I were craving ramen on Monday night and we headed over to Kazu Ramen since it was the closest to us. It most definitely satisfied our craving. I ordered their Kazu Ramen.

Stopped in around 6:30 PM on a Saturday. Despite the crowd, the estimated 15-minute wait was spot on. Our drink order was taken promptly, and we enjoyed the Teriyaki Salmon and Kazu Ramen. The salmon was a great new choice for me, and the ginger salad dressing was amazing. Everything was served hot and fresh. The only downside was the California roll we ordered to-go; it had a very fishy taste, likely from being prepared on a surface used for raw fish. Overall, it was a great experience with delicious food and excellent service. We'll be back soon!" read more

Kazu Ramen is one of those places where you sit down thinking it'll be a normal meal... and then halfway through you realize someone in the kitchen clearly cares way more than they legally have to. Everything just tastes right. Clean, rich, comforting, and the kind of food that makes you stop talking for a minute because you're busy enjoying it. Service was quick, vibe was easy, nobody rushed anything. Five stars. Mostly because now other places have to try harder... read more

We went here after going to the mint market which is pretty far from where we usually are. We saw the ramen spot and decided to go. We have no regrets, the food was absolutely amazing. We decided to get the chicken kaarage and the kazu ramen. The ramen had chashu as well as grilled chicken, the chicken was so delicious, it had so much flavor and eating it with the spicy pork broth made it 10x better. The chicken kaarage was also very tasty but I feel like it lacked flavor. Adding the spicy mayo it came with did make it better but I still feel like having that extra flavor would've made it perfect. The restaurant itself was a cute little space but it was very clean. There was enough space between each table which is always good. Our server seemed like a shy person but she was so friendly and attentive with us. She made us feel welcomed. If we're ever out there again, we will definitely be coming back. read more

I'm sorry, but after reading all of the reviews and looking forward to my first visit here, I have to say I was a little disappointed! First of all, the service was very slow, one server staffed. The inside isn't to large of a space, yet many empty tables during the time frame my daughter and I came in which was well after their lunchtime. The menu is fairly basic & straight forward..Thought on the pricey side for what they offer. Decided on the takoyaki appetizer and it was kinda bland, not much flavor or octopus. Too bad, we were so excited to try it. I had the avacado roll which was ok, but you can't really mess up avacado wrapped in a rice roll! My daughter had their spicy tuna bowl which was probably the best thing ordered. The food was average, nothing special. read more

Hubby and I were looking for a quick bite to eat near the mall and found this ramen spot right down the street. The service was amazing. Our server was attentive and sweet. The meal arrived quickly which was good since we were borderline hangry! The ramen was really good. I loved the spicy broth! It was the first time trying the ribeye, egg, and rice dish. It had a touch of unexpected sweet savory. We would definitely return. The dining area is small so I could imagine it getting crowded during lunch or on the weekends. Plan accordingly! read more

No real wow factor, food and service was good and had enough flavor. Drawback was the pork broth was oily and had chunks of fat.

I want to start this review by noting that this was actually my second visit to the restaurant. During my first visit, I was getting over a cold, so I decided not to leave a review at that time since my taste buds were not at their best. I wanted to give the food a fair second try before forming an opinion. One thing I clearly remembered from my first visit was how clean the restaurant was, and that still holds true. It is very well maintained. I arrived right at 4 p.m. when the restaurant reopened for the second half of the day and was the first customer there. I was greeted by Angel, who was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the Kazu with the spice on the side, the chicken karaage, and a Coke. My food arrived in about eight minutes. The broth for the Kazu was nice and hot, but the chicken karaage was only warm and not as hot as you would expect from something freshly prepared. I am not sure if it had been precooked or if it just sat for a bit before being served. Overall, the chicken karaage was decent, but the Kazu did not quite meet my expectations. The chicken in the Kazu was somewhat tough and had an unusual smell, so I decided to remove it and focus on the grilled pork chashu instead. The chashu was flavorful, and adding a bit of spice made the dish much better. As for the service, while Angel was polite and pleasant at the start, the follow-up could have been better. After my food was delivered, she did not return to check on me or offer a refill, even though there were only four other tables occupied. It felt like I had been forgotten. Overall, this restaurant has a lot of potential. With more attention to food consistency and a little more attentiveness in customer service, it could easily become a standout spot. read more

Looks are deceiving. I expected more flavor but it's just another bad ramen place in Arizona.

Who knew such a good ramen place was tucked away in Gilbert! The food I ordered were the ramens with some spice and lots of toppings and they were great! The broth was perfect and creamy. You really can tell a lot was done to perfect the recipe. The takoyaki was pretty good, but the ramen was the main event here. The inside of this place holds a good amount of people and is quiet, good for date night or lunch! The service was great too, very kind people here! Definitely one of the best ramen joints in Gilbert! read more

Ate here for lunch, first time, and it was delicious!!! Choice of straight or squiggly noodle dishes, sushi, poke bowls and entrees. My friend and I started with the edamame. I ordered the Katsu Men ramen (has crispy chicken) and my friend ordered the The Kazu ramen (has pork and grilled chicken). We added a side of the house spicy sauce to make it more spicy, perfect blend of flavors!! 10/10 recommend for Ramen! We will be back soon read more

Hubby & I had lunch here today. We were greeted & seated right away. It's a small place, but has plenty of tables. It is clean. We both ordered unsweetened iced tea. We shared the Gyoza. They were hot & had a great crust on the bottom. Hubby ordered the Spicy Miso. I ordered the Katsu-Men without an egg. Both came out in a responsible amount of time & pipping hot. Hubby liked his dish. It had plenty of noodle, broth & other ingredients in it. He said it wasn't spicy to him. Our server told him he can always ask for chili sauce if he wants it more spicy. My dish was great. The chicken Katsu is so good. It's crispy & tender. The broth had a great flavor. The ramen "wavy" noodles were cooked perfectly. There is a lot of food in the bowls. Service was great. Our server was friendly, & she did a great job keeping our drink glasses filled, & empty plates removed. Anytime we want Ramen this is the place we will go to. I totally forgot to take pictures until we were almost done eating. read more

The quality of the salmon sushi was really good. The cut was perfect and had a good flavoring and balance with the veggies. Maybe a little too salty. The pork chasu in the ramen was really well cooked and good quality and so was the egg. The price was quite reasonable for the portions we received. The staff were very friendly. Had a TV playing sports at that time, wasn't really loud. Nice place to relax and grab a good meal. read more

Also reasonably priced. read more

We ordered it to go, their ramen with chicken was delicious, loved the flavor of the broth and chicken.

Wow!!! Couldn't have found a better place to have ramen than this place. The convenience alone is so worth it!!! I live in East Mesa and this is so close to me, right in the heart of San Tan Mall area. First off, my favorite ramen is the tonkotsu ramen. The brother is always so good. And of course, I was not disappointed with theirs. So flavorful and extremely delicious. I even got two eggs...cause well those are always worth it!! But the star of the dish was the grilled pork belly. OMG!! So tasty! My husband ordered the Kazu ramen and the dish was so flavorful. In addition to the pork, it had grilled chicken. Very flavorful, very filling given the double protein option. I also tried their flavored sake, Nigori. I had the strawberry one. It was very light in strawberry taste but enough to find a subtle hint of it. Loved it! The staff were great. Our waitress tended to us many times. We were so thankful. Not that we needed it but it was nice that she did that. The place was clean. And it was busy!!! Highly recommend!! read more

Had Kazu Ramen on our list to try. With the two little kids we wanted to try it between the lunch and dinner rush. Arrived around 2pm on Saturday. The place was about 30% filled, plenty of seating inside. We don't require any high chairs but I spotted them inside. Service was fast, the servers brought everything as it was ready. Ordered the Kazu Ramen, Steak Teriyaki, California Roll and the Philly Roll. The kids shared the sushi and a side of rice. Sushi was fresh and surprisingly good. I don't normally think ramen places have good sushi but this one did. The ramen was a huge portion so come hungry. Wall portioned out of ramen, meat, veggies. This particular ramen comes spicy and you could order extra spicy for a small fee. The steak teriyaki was flavorful, although I like my steak more on the medium rare theirs was well done. Came with a side spring salad and rice. The salad was small but the dressing was great. Restaurant wasn't loud but good enough to accommodate my loud toddler. Had one TV on the wall with appeared to be no sound. Music was on in the dining room. We will come back, I may pass on that steak teriyaki and try a ramen and order some other sushi rolls on the menu. read more
