    Such a good hole in the wall ramen spot! Came around 6 on a Friday night and was able to be seated immediately, although it got a little busy within the next 30 mins. My husband went with a shrimp ramen and I got a chicken yakisoba, and we shared gyoza. Really good portion sizes and super affordable prices. We will be back!

    Last night I came here with my aunt, my mom, and my sister, and we all loved it. Do not let the outside fool you; it may look a little sketchy or off, but once inside it is a cozy vibe. I ordered the miso ramen with chicken and pork. The broth was rich, comforting, and flavorful, the noodles perfect, portions generous, service was great, and prices surprisingly affordable. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit; left with warm smiles and satisfied appetites.

    I was craving ramen something fierce! My usual place was closed and so I decided to check this place out across the street. It was fantastic. They sat me right away and brought me water and a menu. I ordered quickly and the food was brought out not even 10 minutes later and was excellent. I would love to come back again and try more items on the menu. I loved the spicy miso ramen and the shrimp shumai is always a fan favorite.

    Rame Dozo, you had me at ramen... but then you lost me at oily fried calamari. Service was on point and servers were super friendly, but the ambiance took a hit when I got wafted the essence of toilet aroma when you left the restroom door open. I would not recommend seating at in that corner. Maybe just fix the door, guys? Salmon bento box was a letdown - tiny shrimp Sumai, and flavorless fish. Meso soup and salad were good. My seafood lover wife was disappointed with the bento box. Ramen was decent, but I've had bigger portions. Asahi beer was great but you could keep bigger glasses to pour it in. Overall, 3/5 stars - will revisit for the ramen, but hope they sort out the rest.

    Just had a bowl of tonkatsu ramen here and had a great experience :) !! The broth was flavorful and yummy. I had an iced tea as well and the Chef shared that he just got a white peach syrup for the teas and was wondering if I would like to try it. I went to hand him my drink but he said he would bring out another one with the syrup on him! The syrup was yummy :) As I am writing this here right now, he JUST OFFERED ME ICE CREAM!! The waiting staff was very attentive and kind on top of it all! Very nice place, give it a try!

    Hidden Gem in Tempe - Ramen Dozu Chen at Ramen Dozu was incredibly nice and welcoming from the moment we walked in. You can really tell they care about their guests--Chen checked on us throughout the meal to make sure everything was perfect. The food? Not only is it affordable, but the portions are huge--you definitely get your money's worth. And despite the low prices, the quality of the food is top-tier. Every bite tasted fresh and full of flavor. This spot has been around for 9 years, and it's clear why. It's a true hidden gem in Tempe. Do not sleep on this place if you're craving quality ramen and great service.

    Great service, very tasty ramen too! We tried the tonkatsu and it was very flavorful Our friends had a few sushi rolls and tempura that also looked delish

    Cute little place 10 tables 4 for 2 people 6 for 4 people and 8 bar seats. Super friendly staff.  Lots of parking

    4 stars because I get to go orders so I don't know how they are for sit down. They have about 8 tables inside and they were full. Their broths are flavorful and staff explains all options if you're new to their establishment. Huge portions lots of noodles I do wish there was more protein in the order. It seems like a lot of places have increased the amount of empty carbs in meals to offset the more expensive proteins.

    Overall a good restaurant. Walked in and no wait for a table. Service was really good. I got the spicy tuna roll and tonkotsu ramen. Really enjoyed the spicy tuna roll would recommend. The ramen was good as well only thing was the broth is a little too salty but other than that no complaints.

    Shoyu ramen with pork
    Kandyce K.

    We were craving some saimin on a cold, rainy day and stumbled upon this place after many great reviews! I'm so glad we stopped here. I'm pretty sensitive to salty foods and I was impressed by the shoyu ramen and how nice the flavor was. Not too salty and I'm glad I chose the pork! The additions they include were great...I just wish we could've gotten more fish cake!! I love squid and the geso karaage was actually really good! I will be getting both of these again. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and got to pick our table. We came in around 6 pm on a Monday night and there was more than enough seating options. Our server asked if we had been in before and was happy to provide more info if we had questions. They got busy with dine-in customers as we were eating and they were also getting a lot of phone calls for to-go orders. The private parking lot is very spacious and there are no problems with parking. I definitely want to come back and try other things on the menu. Donburi, sushi, other flavors of ramen, etc.

    We heard some good reviews about this restaurant and decided to give it a try when we were in the area. The restaurant wasn't busy when we arrived with 3-4 tables. A waitress took our orders. We waited about 45 mins before noticing that other tables who came after us already got their food. The waitress realized that the order wasn't put it. She apologized and offered us a complimentary roll. We got our food about 20 minutes later! After we ate, the waitress brought a check which didn't include a complimentary roll. We gave our credit card. Upon the return, we saw the receipt with an additional charge of the roll which was offered as a complimentary. We inquired and got a confirmation that they canceled the additional charge and only charged the two entrees. However, we just saw that they ended up charging the complimentary roll regardless. The food was ok. However, level of service and customer care is very unsatisfactory. We wont be back again due to the dishonest service.

When I walked in, I was promptly directed to where I should go so I could place a takeout order. The genuine courtesy of the staff here was just what I needed after a long day.

I ordered a couple options and requested for the toppings to be separated so my picky eater could pick out what she didn't like. The food was out promptly and packaged with such care.

Our server was attentive, happy hour was good and everything came out quickly. The cucumber salad was super refreshing and gyoza were yummy with a delicious sauce. We ordered sake bombs, and I absolutely love that they serve them with frosty chilled glasses. We tried two different ramen bowls and both were packed with flavor. The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

They still bring out food, drinks, and check on tables so there is service provided. Everything was quick and most of all tasty! Both of our ramens were medium spicy which can be modulated since the spicy paste is on the side and added to the broth. Overall both ramen bowls were delicious and with plenty of toppings included. One broth was clear, other was creamy and noodles had good texture. The noodle type isn't my exact favorite type of ramen but I still enjoyed it. I prefer a thicker ramen noodle. I still ate the whole damn thing lol. The chicken bun was very good although not spicy. I liked it-- chicken was nice and crispy and the bun was super soft & pillowy. The shrimp tempura hand roll was solid. No complaints. Tbh, I liked the food more than I expected to. Which is always nice when that happens. We've had this on our list to try since it opened over a couple years ago. Just kept forgetting about it. Glad we finally made it in :)

I'm surprised they don't have more, but there's still a great variety to choose from. The space has ample seating and is very clean. Your order comes out pretty quickly! The servers are nice and the $20 combo deal is well worth in my opinion. You get to choose a bowl of ramen and an appetizer for that price. Fried Gyoza: savory and crunchy with the perfect dip to top it off. Shoyu Ramen: Well done egg and comforting warm broth. Love the ratio of broth to noodles. The pork is perfect in proportion and tender bite. Pork Bun: the cutest bun with a piece of marinated pork inside. Pretty good app! I'm not sure if they make smaller pork buns for the combo because if you order a fried gyoza with the combo, it comes with 4 pieces instead of 6. Either way it was worth it as part of the combo. If you're looking for an affordable comfort ramen spot I definitely recommend Silverlake!

The place is narrow and long with bar seating to view kitchen. We started with the potstickers and they were very well cooked and full of flavor. Then came our ramens. Both had a terrific broth base. My extra spicy was a 6.5/10 on spice so it just looks like lava but is totally edible. My wife's spicy miso was terrific and I'd totally go that way next time.

First of all, we walked in just before 8pm last night (Friday) and although there were quite a few patrons, we were still seated right away. There were no individual tables, so we sat at the long communal table in the center. The service always wonderful! Prompt and courteous. 10/10 there. My fella got their Miso ramen and I got their Tonkotsu. My dish was exactly what I wanted - flavorful, hot, and a plentiful portion (so plentiful I took 3/4ths of the meal home). I will say that it was pretty warm inside the restaurant, so the only thing that could have made the experience better is if they had turned the AC on higher. All in all, I will 100% be back. This was a great experience with awesome service and wonderful food.

The edamame was salted well throughout where a lot of places just put the salt on top only. We ordered a couple varieties of sake which were both good. Out of all of the things we ordered the karange skewer was just a little more oily than were use to, but still good. The spicy salmon roll had really great flavor and the lollipop roll was probably one of the better versions that we have had.

The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much.

The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

Upon entering, we were free to seat ourselves and chose a booth by the wall. It was not busy at all and the service was quick and friendly. We started off with a large sake bomb paired with a Kirin Light ($15). We then ordered two Tonkotsu Ramens, one medium spice and one hot spice ($15.99 each). Honestly, the hot spice level did not taste spicy at all, so I would recommend going extra hot if you like spice. They also provide chili powder on the table if you want to add more spice yourself. The ramen broth itself could have used a tad more flavor. I lightly added some soy sauce to the broth which is something I often do to add a little kick. I loved all of the toppings included, from the green onions to the kikurage (wood ear mushroom). My favorite part was the pork chashu, which was really tender and delicious. I also appreciated that the ramen came with a full soft boiled egg rather than half an egg, and the egg was perfectly runny. Before leaving, we ordered their tea special that was buy one get one. We got a matcha milk tea and a cafe latte which I forgot to take a photo of. I felt like the cafe latte could have used a little more sweetness to balance it. Also, I found it neat that Nishikawa offers a rewards program, not something I see often at ramen shops. My true rating would be 4.5 due to some of the criticisms I mentioned above, but overall I still had a good experience. Thank you for serving us. Visited 5/2/26
