The menu seems a bit more fusion than traditional but a good balance of pushing boundaries without trying too hard. We made a reservation for lunch on a Sunday but were only one of three parties.

We ordered quite a bit but our favorites definitely were the pork belly appetizer, the hafu roll, and the neo-genesis roll. I'd love to come back and try their ramen.

JA Ramen Curry is located towards the outskirts of the busier area of the Downtown Area here in…read moreTucson. At the corner of the street diagonal to a small park, and then next door to Street Taco & Beer. It's got an interesting decor, and not sure who it's catering to specifically, but identity crisis from a design perspective is fine since it's spacious inside and has two sections for seating. Price wise, it's on par for most of the things down in this area, as they're focus on curry rice plates and things, so the portions aren't bad here. There's a variety of protein options to go with your curry, with it mostly focused on the katsu style of fooding for those interested. They also have some ramen options there as well, as it's clear they are trying to do a little bit of everything. There are some random options regarding appetizers and such, but the generic stuff mostly. Staff here is pretty friendly so no issues there. Now, the food part. It was not bad, but there were a couple of things here that were certainly on my no-no list. Let's start with the Las Vegas Roll. It's a deep fried roll. Doesn't really have much fish in there (like a sliver), and the sauces on it were just mediocre at best. There was basically just no filling, and mostly rice. It's curry time. Got the seafood curry, but apparently they were out of clams that day so told me they would give me more shrimp and fried calamari to make up for it, and I said okay. Sort of regretted half of that decision. The curry itself was actually pretty tasty, but I feel like they don't actually know what Japanese curry quality it supposed to be like. It was like I was drinking a soup, and not clam chowder. The flavors of it though were actually quite good, but the actual texture of the curry was basically just liquid and did not feel at all like curry. The shrimp that came with the dish were alright, no issues with that. The fried calamari is there this dish ends for me. The calamari was off, and it was either just like that normally, or it was severely underfried as it was basically just a mushy mess that was not good. The final verdict? The curry was actually good, but man, they don't know how to actually make the curry texture correctly. Just a mediocre and watery mess. Price wise, it wasn't cheap for these two things, and for what I got quality wise, it wasn't worth it. Quantity wise, it was decent, but still not sure if that justifies the price tag. Just a mediocre experience overall. Staff was friendly at least. Not good, but not bad.

There are lots of options for ramen, curry, and appetizers, as well as some limited sushi options. I've tried the Half Sea Tonkatsu and the Dumpling Ramen, both of which are very good. I really like that for the Dumpling Ramen, you can select from veggie, chicken, or pork gyoza. The serving portions are solid, with lots of protein and noodles. The broth is rich, and there's chili oil on every table to make yours as spicy as you'd like. It's counter service with very few frills, so the ambiance is nothing special, but it's a good option for delicious ramen when you don't have a ton of time.

This is a sushi place where you pay for the aesthetics and not really the quality of food. This…read moreplace was always this way from when they first opened up and has decreased to today. I only went there because my mom had tire issues, and it was close to Discount Tires. The quality of fish is equal to and sometimes worse than any other sushi place in town. The roles are not properly constructed and fell apart. If I wanted that, I should have just made them at home because that's how mine always turn out too. The nori was also cheap quality nori and terrible to bite through. To add on, the miso soup didn't have enough miso paste causing it to taste watered down and gross. Again, I've made this mistake at home too, but that's not what you're paying for. Oh, and I was wondering if the low sodium soy sauce was actually just the regular Kikkoman soy sauce just in the green bottle. I hate to pay higher prices than the quality of food dictates. I would rather be fancy by going to a quality place in another city/country than to go to a place that looks good but tastes mid. The waitress was nice and the fish were well taken care of. There is that going for the place.

Fuji Bowl with Tuna with half the serving of rice but my last time there I tried the black sesame ramen. It was really rich and flavorful. I want to say that it was just as good as Monta Ramen in Chinatown in Las Vegas. You walk up, you order then they text you when your order is ready. While you're waiting, you can grab a drink from the Westbound Bar (drink included with yoga) then find a spot then chill with your fellow yogis.

You order at the register and can choose to sit anywhere. Our food came out quickly. We ordered the Guilin dried style and the other bowl with broth. The noodle bowl includes rice noodles. meat-based spiced sauce, spicy pickled greens & bamboo, pickled long beans, roasted peanuts, and you can choose between 2 proteins. For my two proteins, I chose crispy pork belly and pork intestine. I wish they gave a little more because it was so good. I personally loved the dry one because the noodles soaked well with the sauce. The sauce was sooo gooodddd. The noodles were perfectly cooked - had a good soft bounce to it. The guilin with broth was also so good. The broth was perfectly cooked chicken broth. The pickled greens were a nice touch to balance the flavors. I wish this place was closer to me because I literally would go every week. This is one of the best noodle bowls I had in such a long time. Next time when I am in Tucson, I am going to try their other menu items because everything looked so good. Very reasonable price and great portions. There were lots of tables inside.
