The decor is super adorable, but honestly, the food is what really stood out. We ordered the Tom Kha, Pad Thai, and combination fried rice, and everything was so good. The Pad Thai had amazing flavor. We got everything at a medium spice level, which was perfect for me. I also loved that they let you choose from mild all the way up to extra Thai hot...my fiancé loves super spicy food, so that was a big plus since not every place offers that. We ate everything between the two of us. That's how good it was. The service was also great. He kept checking in on us without being over the top, which I appreciated.

The service was lovely, the atmosphere felt intimate and genuine, and the food...My god the food! I have to recommend their creamy miso, the pork was cooked to perfection! If you do end up going, there is one thing on the menu you absolutely must try: The matcha tiramisu!! I am speechless to how good this is, its not super tiramisu-esq in flavor, yet their own rendition is impeccable, flavor and texture alike! I hope you guys try this little local shop, and I hope they have a fruitful future. Thanks again to the owners for a wonderful dinner :)

Came in for dinner on a Wednesday night after an event nearby. The restaurant had other diners, but…read morewas not busy. My friend and I were greeted right away and told to sit anywhere we'd like. There's plenty of seating available, including a long communal table. We chose a table near the entrance a friendly server came by shortly after. I ordered the creamy veggie ramen ($14.25) which comes with sesame paste, vegetable, green onion, and corn. I added a soft boiled egg for $2. The ramen was tasty and definitely on the creamy side. I enjoyed the flavor. I appreciate that they have a vegetarian option, I just wish the veggie came with tofu. Even though there's an option to add an egg, it's just not enough protein for me. My friend ordered the spicy miso ramen and loved it. When we saw homemade matcha tiramisu, we couldn't resist, so my friend and I shared an order. It was light and delicious and the matcha flavor was subtle. Highly recommend. We had a great experience and would recommend Ramen Kagawa to others.

Stopped in for pho while we were in town for work and had such a great experience. The place itself…read morewas really cute. I ordered their special beef pho, and the broth was seriously delicious--rich, flavorful, and exactly what you want in a good bowl of pho. I did ask about oxtail pho, but it wasn't on the menu. The sweet surprise was our waitress telling me her dad was planning to bring it in next week just for me, which honestly made the whole visit even more memorable. Unfortunately, we were leaving the next day, so I couldn't take her up on that, but I really hope they add it to the menu!!! Everyone there was super friendly, and I'm really glad we ended up getting our pho fix here. Definitely worth checking out!

My only gripe would be the ambiance and service is a little rushed.

I would definitely want to try it again though, just maybe at another time...

I have to say that I had a much better experience several years ago and had a much better memory of…read morethis place than when I went back to get ramen the second time. However!!!! This was partially just because when we looked up the menu online, the ramen was several dollars cheaper than when we went in and that was kind of disappointing to find. Overall, the staff was totally loving and supportive, great company to talk to and beautiful people in general. I would have loved to go back to try more food there honestly if the prices were what they had been in the online photos I'd found. I tried the bulgogi ramen which was just more or less just not what I expected because the meat was very thickly cut and much more salty than traditional korean bulgogi - otherwise I would've loved this ramen. So many mushrooms and toppings galore. PLUS VEGAN RAMENS! SO MANY VEGAN OPTIONS!!! I just couldn't choose. Would definitely go back. Loved the outdoor patio for people and pup watching as well. No shortage of service out there either.

I've been going to Moira Sushi for over a decade, so this review honestly feels a little like…read moretelling an old friend what's changed. The vibe is still what I remember. Casual, fun, poppy music, and very approachable without trying too hard to be trendy. We went on a weeknight and the restaurant wasn't very busy, which made the experience a little more confusing. For some reason, the food took much longer than expected and the service just didn't feel as attentive as I've experienced in the past. Nothing terrible, just off. Even the miso soup came out lukewarm, which felt like an ominous little foreshadowing from the universe. Like, "brace yourself, things aren't exactly the same." That said, the happy hour menu is still one of the best sushi happy hours in Phoenix. Tons of options, solid cocktails, sake selections, and prices that make you feel like you somehow beat the system. We also ordered the fried chicken bites, which were really good. Thin, crispy breading with great seasoning that didn't overpower the chicken. The sushi rolls themselves still tasted very much like I remembered, which was reassuring because at one point I was worried I had accidentally wandered into some alternate universe where Moira lost its magic. Thankfully, the sushi roll quality itself was still there. It's very possible this was just an off night, because prior visits over the years have been consistently solid. But this particular experience felt a little out of sync from the Moira I've known for years.

It's honestly a steal imo but I do wish they had another white option besides Chardonnay. Still great with a Pinot noir as the red option.

The sushi was really good but I'd love to try some without cream cheese next time. I'll be back for their AYCE menu for sure.

The soju tasting was a hit thanks to @soonhariusa adding the perfect touch to an already memorable evening. One thing I found especially interesting is that BBQ Chicken's signature sauces are made from original recipes developed in Korea. To maintain quality and consistency as the brand has grown, those sauces are prepared to the same standards and distributed to locations worldwide. If you're a fan of Korean fried chicken, this is definitely a neighborhood spot worth checking out. Thank you to BBQ Chicken for the invitation and hospitality.

We had the six honey garlic , 6 Gangjeong, boneless. We also had the Rose Ddeok-Bokki. Loved all of this! I got the order to go, but there was ample seating, and this place is new, so it is very clean! Of note, I did see a post on Nextdoor that mentioned a woman who fainted in front of the restaurant, and the staff ran out to give her water, and help her in extreme heat. The woman is OK now, and very thankful. EXTRA POINTS! This place is also Korean owned...they know their stuff!!!! I will have to restrain myself from going more often...I avoid fast food...but this place is great!
