Great ramen spot! Portions were great. There fried chicken small plate was flavorful, and friends really enjoyed the octopus balls. The matcha lychee lemonade was good but $10 for it probably would skip that when I go next time. The ramen birria had a nice kick and meat was great, the tonck black was also great!

I really enjoyed the ramen from here! The wonton ramen was delicious. The matcha tiramisu wasn’t my favorite, but still worth a try. I usually go often to one that is in Salt Lake City, Utah, but this location here in Phoenix was the worst service ever, they ran out of spoons, we got our ramen and we had to wait about 15min more to get a spoon as they were getting washed. Waitress were trying to avoid everyone that was waiting on a spoon.

Spicy Creamy V Ramen was delicious! There are quite a few items for vegetarians, we enjoyed everything we ordered at this restaurant.

11/15/25: Cool place. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars was because the drinks were a bit tame (matcha lychee lemonade & kiwi sparkler), in that they did not have a lot of flavor. I wonder if their alcoholic drinks would be better. Service? Very good. Our server, Phillip, was friendly & had plenty to say when we asked questions about this or that. Food? Flavorful, plentiful, and tasty. We ordered appetizers (JINYA bun, edamame, pork gyoza, nikuman). The buns were light & fluffy, the meat tender, edamame excellently salted. I do not like seafood so was a little worried about being able to find something edible for me; there was no problem. Substitutions are allowed, if not even encouraged. The JINYA tonkotsu black & pork chashu bowls were ordered. Both were wonderful. Desserts were the mixed mochi ice cream and matcha green tea tiramisu. I loved how the tiramisu came out in a small wood box. That was a first for me, & what a great way to stand out. Ambiance? Every time customers walked in the door, the staff shouted what I believe was something akin to "glad you're here"; when someone walked out the door, the staff shouted "arigato" (thank you). We're trying not to take it personally that no one shouted when we left. Ha! It was a bustling Saturday evening, though, so the staff probably just missed us. :-) It was a bright, clean, and airy restaurant; unfortunately, the outside patio was unavailable due to sprinkling. Even the bathroom was fancy.
