    Stopped Mensho because I was leaving a doctors appt and needed ramen (pregnant cravings) and this was the closest near me. I had the chicken ramen (the garlic one forgot the name of it) and the spicy fried chicken and it was superb. The flavors were great and the broth was nice and creamy. I was seated right away and my server was gracious and nice! I will definitely be back

    Great garlic knockout with eggs and corn ribs

    Beautifully decorated restaurant, and loved that we didn't have to wait near closing time on a weekend. Ramen was satisfying and cozy as always

    Food was delicious and rich. Eel in the roll was super fresh. They were able to accommodate our party of 16 and serve us relatively quickly. Huge fan of the ramen egg in there as well as the duck. The restaurant is beautiful with a nice outdoor patio as well. Definitely coming back.

    A friend of mine wanted me to try out Mensho and brought me to the Phoenix location which is tucked in a cute little plaza amongst other eateries. The interior is absolutely gorgeous and upon entering the staff greets you in a traditional Japanese greeting. We arrived just before a rush of people and were seated promptly. Unfortunately, I was not able to try the ramen () due to all of the soup bases containing mushrooms, bummer!! However, I did order the Kaarage, which was crispy, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. The eggplant was also delicious and refreshing. We also ordered Corn Wings and Garlic Edamame which were also delicious!

    Very hyped ramen joint, and very busy. It lived up to the hype. It was delicious and we sat at the bar so we could see the open kitchen, and the staff making the bowls right in front. Awesome service. They had a crispy mushroom appetizer that was delicious. The meat in the ramen was smoked, and the flavors definitely came through. Would recommend to try it once for everyone!

    Phx spot is way better than Mesa location, so much more breathing room. Came for 630pm dinner and there wasn't a long wait. Ordered the classic ramen and was true to its description, very nice thick chicken broth and my absolute favorite (I love a thick broth) cauliflower tantan is an amazing vegetarian ramen that I would also recommend to order over the other vegetarian options. The cauliflower is set to resemble "ground meat" and it's absolutely perfect. The signature already tried in the Mesa location but it is just as good.

    We LOVED the spicy chicken karage. The GKO ramen was our favorite that we had, we loved the garlic, the crunchy ingredients and the overall flavor. The signature ramen was the second best. The wagyu beef and pork on the signature ramen had a really good taste and texture to it, but the broth and complexity of the dish were not as refined. I was going to give 5 stars to this restaurant but I did not enjoy the service, our server was really sassy and at some point when I was trying to order for my husband she wouldn't let me and said she would wait for him to come back and would not let me order for him. That rubbed me the wrong way. Then I tipped not even knowing tip was included, I found out only after signing the check, but it was not Obvious that tip was included. I felt ripped off because tip became double. The service was not good and now I was tipping 40% The ambiance was nice. Overall not a bad place

    Cauliflower Tantamen

    Stopped in for a late evening dinner on Sunday. It was not busy. Quiet and relaxing. Service was quick and attentive. Our waiter went over some of the more popular dishes with the table and answered a few questions. My friend selected the Signature Toripatian. He said the flavor was amazing and the waygu was "killer". Would definitely come back. I got the Cauliflower Tantamen which has a light spice and a great flavor not overly salted like some places I've been. You wouldn't know it was vegan by the broth. You have the option to add toppings or protein, but I chose to go as is and I wasn't disappointed. I'd like to try the sushi next time but not sure I could stray from the ramen.

    I would love to give this place more than 5 stars because WOAH AMAZING 11/10!!! First of all we walked in with great service, the bartender was very attentive and gave us different recommendations. He was very honest about what sake we should and shouldn't order and how the most popular option might not be the best option. We got a whole bottle of sake which served 6 glasses for $18! The ramen was the star- the broth was flavorful and buttery!! Not exactly sure how they got it to be so perfect but we sat there for 10+ mins not saying a word to one another since the ramen was so good. The signature and classic were great options! Space is nice because there are booths and you can sit at the bar! There wasn't any outdoor seating but it wasn't needed. The restaurant is located in the back of a strip mall which can be hard to find at night!

    Enoki Chips
    Sydney N.

    Had a great time here, casual vibes, nice lighting, friendly staff. The enoki chips were alright but probably wouldn't order again, nice and salty with lemon squeezed over. Seeing so many good reviews for the Garlic Ramen, I ordered that. It was delicious, lots of yummy proteins, so many different garlic flavors, I was really impressed. I had a little half serving leftover that reheated really well the next day. Would get again!

    Garlic Knock Out
    Jeff David G.

    Just amazing. I went with two friends who are more seasoned than I regarding Asian cuisine and we all loved Mensho. It was busy on a Friday night but we were able to sit at the bar and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout the night. Beautiful interior with nice outdoor seating with a modern feel. The appetizers are alright, but the ramen is the star here. The Garlic Knock Out had so much flavor, a smooth body, and fresh toppings that perfectly complimented the noodles. Would love to come back!

    Grace H.

    first time trying Mensho last night !! our waitress was so sweet and walked us through the menu!! we started with the garlic edamame and it was so yum!! the ramen was so delicious and had so much flavor and meat! so authentic !! will def be back again!

    Sal F.

    Excellent food and great service! We can't wait to return. The GKO Ramen was excellent!

    Matcha pudding- dessert was 7/10.  Bland and muted in flavor, but very pretty and photogenic.

    Do they serve wine?

    I didn't have wine but in our UYE supper club there I'm almost certain someone had a glass of wine. EDIT: I just checked our pics from that meetup but don't see a wine glass in them so I could be wrong.

    Do they do takeout?

    Yes they do!

    Do you offer gluten free options for dinner or gluten free noodles?

    Hello Susan, Unfortunately, we don't have any gluten free options at the moment.

    Met up with friends and family here for dinner. I'd been wanting to try a new Asian fusion spot,…read moreand this one had been on my list for a while - it did not disappoint! The atmosphere is super classy and cute, with great date-night vibes. Parking can be a little limited with the English pub next door, but it's definitely worth a stop. We started with a few of their buns. The pork belly was my favorite, but the fried chicken and meatball were both very good! For dinner, we ordered the fried rice, XO noodles, and shaking beef. The beef was a little more well done than I prefer, but everything was packed with flavor. Portions were generous, presentation was beautiful, and overall, the food was delicious. Most dishes averaged around $20, which felt very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes. And a special shoutout to Keith - his service was fantastic throughout the entire meal! Great atmosphere, flavorful food, generous portions, and excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

Quite the opposite here, I have been a long time customer of this particular location and I've always had an amazing experience with the food as well as excellent service from the staff over the years. The chef and staff clearly care a great deal about the establishment and the love is shown all throughout the space. I usually have the Pork Tonkatsu ramen, Katsu sando, and Krazy Fries and everyday I'm away from Phoenix I CRAVE these so badly. Amazing and ambitious flavor combos that all fit so well together. Couldn't recommend this place harder

    The food was actually very good, which makes the experience even more disappointing because the…read moreservice was absolutely horrible. We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
