    Came here on Saturday night. It is a small space but good enough to put tables together. With winter nights I was craving some good ramen. We ordered ramen, squid, noodles, wings and some fried rice. The chicken wings were so crispy and fresh! The ramen was really good too, portion sizes are good. The noodles were really good too! Overall if you want some ramen and want to hit the craving this is a good spot. The pricing is also good! For sure would come back.

    Maybe for Scottsdale it's good ramen but coming from San Diego it just didn't hit the mark. I got the spicy miso ramen and it was anything but spicy. I added practically half of the Sriracha bottle and it still wasn't enough. The broth tasted like a watery mess and lacked flavor. The noodles and egg were good but the broth needs a lot of work. The tonkotsu ramen was about the same but I'd say it was slightly better but still wouldn't recommend this place for ramen. Service was good. The service would be a 5 star but the food was less than good.

    Visiting from San Diego, I researched to see which places have good ramen and this place came up high on the list. Sad to say I was very disappointed The ramen broth was very water down. The pork cashu is good and the egg was cooked right. Also there's a lack of variety for ramen flavors. I'm used to seeing a few pages of various ramen options that takes me 10 minutes to decide which ramen I would order.

    Checked this place out on a Tuesday afternoon and it was pretty much empty. We ordered our food and got our order quickly. The ramen itself is a good portion but was just okay. The house fried rice only had 2 pieces of each protein and was a bit on the oily side. The place itself is very clean and didn't feel crammed.

    Love ramen here so much! This place is pretty cozy, and there are plenty of parking spots close to the store. They have ramen, udon, boba, and yummy Japanese appetizers. I tried ramen here, forgot what it was- but it was so good. Egg was perfectly boiled, noodle was chewy, and the broth was so so so good. It would've been even more tastier if the broth was hot. Mine was like lukewarm, and I personally like hot broth. Will definitely coming back here again! :)

    We stopped in on the way to the airport. We were the only ones in the place. They seem to do a lot of take out. I think that the food was good. Service was great. The Raman didn't seem very hot when it came out but the noodles were hot... broth needed more flavor and temperature needed to be warmer. Pot stickers were ok, burnt a bit. Water, ice cold and filtered! Very nice.

    Hot Jasmine Tea

    It was a chilly day so I wanted some hot ramen/soup to warm me up so I decided to stopped in because of the reviews & because this place was fairly close to my work. I'm not sure if it was just because I was the first customer but it was freezing inside the restaurant. I ordered the hot jasmine tea, fried chicken wings and the spicy miso ramen with pork. The tea was good, the chicken wings were piping hot, crispy, cooked to perfection and they were huge! Now onto the ramen. I was surprised that the broth was just warm, was hoping for it to be hotter in temperature. Due to the temperature, the noodles felt kind of chewy and the vegetables stayed raw. Might be good for some people but if I have vegetables in my soup, I'd like it to be somewhat blanched. As far as flavors goes, it was not spicy at all, it was just okay, nothing special. Pricing was fair but service was really slow. I had to ask the waitress for a to-go container for my leftover wings and then also ask for the check, even though there were only 2 other customers in the restaurant.

    Ramen Time is located in a nondescript strip mall in Tempe near Scottsdale. The restaurant was neat and clean. The decor was simplistic. I ordered the Hand Rolled Scallion Pancake. (It was actually folded, not literally rolled.). The center was chewy, but the edges were a bit overdone for my preference. It tasted okay, but it didn't have any discernible scallion flavor. Ironic. It was accompanied by a dipping sauce, which had a "just right" amount of sweetness. I also ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen (without the black wood fungus). The noodles were plentiful, and the broth was okay. Pricing was on par with similar eateries, but be sure to read the notice regarding a "service charge" for credit transactions and a discount for cash. The service was fast, but lacked a smile. The shy, soft-spoken server never asked if everything was okay. Plus, I had to hand her the pancake plate (hint, hint), and the soup bowl was never cleared. Is clearing the table something customers need to request? To her credit she did say "thank you. Have a good one." as I left.

    Ramen Time has become my comfort restaurant. I love ordering take-out from them and it always hits the spot. I have tried a bunch of things off of their menu and I have never left disappointed. My partner especially likes their spicy ramen and I would highly recommend ordering their gyoza and crab puff appetizers to snack on with their tasty noodles. I also never leave without a tasty thai tea, my favorite! So thankful to live just a short distance from here because whenever I'm craving ramen this is the first place that comes to mind. I highly recommend trying Ramen Time, once you've had it once you are going to want to keep coming back for more!

    Great service! Came in right before closing (oops) but they were inviting regardless. The girl working was so sweet. the Spicy miso soup is so good. Hot & great flavor!

    I am by no means a ramen aficionado, however, I have tried a few ramen restaurants throughout the Valley and I can say that this ramen is okay, average at best. Bf had the tonkotsu ramen. The broth tasted light, not at all the creamy, thick consistency one expects from tonkotsu broth. I had the spicy miso ramen. While not spicy imo, i would rate it jalapeno/sriracha level spicy. A little disappointing as I was hoping for spicy. Certainly doesn't compare to my favorite spicy ramen in a neighboring complex... Overall very average.

    My boyfriend and I came here for our first time today from the Desert Botanical Garden (which is not too far away from here). I can't believe how good the food was and how much you get for what you order! The next time we're in Tempe or around Tempe this will definitely be worth coming back to again! Staff were very sweet and kind and the service was great. The inside is intimate, but super cute! They played songs from the movies made by Hayao Miyazaki.

    TASTY!! Light on the wallet and heavy on the food-feels! If you're seeking comfort-ramen this is where you want to be. Fast, friendly dine-in service. Clean environment and tables.

    Silverlake Ramen is a great fast casual ramen place near ASU. They used to have servers per other…read morereviews but now have kiosks to order from up front, and I'm totally fine with that. 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!

We were nearby for a show, and decided to stop in on a Wednesday evening for a late dinner with some friends. They have a good happy hour menu, and my friends ordered off there, but I was craving sushi so I got the nigiri omakase. It came with miso soup, which I enjoyed, definitely hard to go wrong there. The sushi itself was decent, nothing crazy, but definitely better than grocery store quality. 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. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. 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
