    Had a nice dinner here with friends last night. We arrived around 8pm and were seated in one of the two booths right at the entrance. It's a cool fusion place with sushi, ramen and Italian pasta. While I was tempted to try the pasta, the extremely spicy gyoza potstickers called to me even more. My friends enjoyed some beef udon and katsudon. I also had a glass of Chardonnay. The service was nice and the decor seemed a bit fusion as well- abstract art, European style paintings etc the holiday lights added a nice touch too. I enjoyed my spicy potstickers, they had a great heat- although I did not expect there to be so much broth; it was essentially dumpling soup, but it was tasty. My friends liked their meals too and we had a good time hanging out and catching up. I would recommend. Pretty good value/price!

    Zaru soba

    I think the owner/workers really care about this place and try and make it the best they can for there customers as experienced today I really appreciate acknowledging my review and letting me know about things I've always loved how friendly and helpful they are here I'm always to awk to say anything but they always want to improve anyway they can and appreciate hearing peoples opinions still stands as my fav restaurant in az I've been coming here for four years now and it's sometimes a hit or miss with the food that I get I get the exact same thing every single time I never really changed it. It's always the buckwheat cold noodles called the zaru soba noodles and sometimes they're undercooked or overcooked and when I went in today after not going in for like six months, it was pretty undercooked. I got a bunch of crunchy pieces which was pretty surprising and there wasn't even that big of a crowd, so I'm like why aren't you guys cooking everything correctly , aside from that I've always enjoyed everything else I've gotten from them. All of their appetizers are amazing and I always recommend their Gyoza. It's good either way pan fried or the soup spicy version

    Decent ramen at a decent price. I had the lunch special combo with ramen and inari sushi. There weren't many toppings in the ramen, and the pork tasted a bit odd. If you're just craving ramen and don't need a lot, you can get it here for a cheaper price.

    Early dinner -no wait on a Saturday. Friendly staff. Wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed my ramen and shared Agedashi. Dinner for 4 plus a 1 year old for under $75 is amazing. Their prices are very reasonable.

    Cold Soba Lunch

    Had an amazing visit on the way back home! The place is dimly lit and very relaxing. The cold soba was refreshing and with the tempura really balanced. My server was very attentive and friendly! She checked if I wanted dessert afterwards and the green tea and red bean cake immediately caught my eye. It was not very sweet, and I couldn't be happier to have tried it out! Most places over sweeten to try to mask the bitterness, but this place was a light and refreshing balance. To top it all off, as I was leaving I was told they are just about to bring out fresh anpan! As someone who loves red bean I just couldn't say no. Very nice price and the breading with the red bean is so perfect. Now I can't wait to come again for dinner or happy hour one day!

    Tokyo Ramen Bowl

    Apparently this is a pretty popular spot, the hostess even mentioned I was lucky to get a table because it was St. Patrick's Day. The food presentation was really nice and looked appealing, but overall the flavor was a bit underwhelming and could've used more seasoning. Service was decent, nothing standout. The restaurant itself was quite dark, which added to the atmosphere but wasn't entirely my preference. Overall, an okay experience.

    Thai tea

    Honestly, really glad to return to Cherryblossom. I missed it a lot. The ambience is still amazing and so, so chill. Paired with delicious, comforting dishes like warm udon soup & dumplings.. it's the best place to come to if you want a great night's sleep! I think I may officially be declaring it my favorite casual spot in the valley. I don't know what I was thinking with my previous review! Past me was so silly. The thai tea is perfect, btw. And everyone is still super nice here! Very appreciated!

    Cherry Blossom Noodle Cafe was absolutely fantastic! The food and service were both excellent from start to finish. The ramen broth tasted authentic and rich, not artificial like you find at some places. The pork in the ramen was incredibly tender, flavorful, and practically melted in my mouth. I also ordered the spicy salmon rolls, and they were outstanding--fresh, delicious, and packed with flavor. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made the entire experience even better. The small atmosphere and being able to see the staff making your dishes as well also adds to a great vibe. If you're looking for authentic ramen and great sushi in Phoenix, I highly recommend giving Cherry Blossom Noodle Cafe a try. I'll definitely be coming back!

    Miso Ramen
    David M.

    I'll preface by saying that Cherryblossom noodle Café has food quality that does better than some other restaurants in Phoenix. The California roll was pretty good! I think the ratio of rice to contents was a lot better than other California rolls I've had in the area. The chicken karaage was a dry and had an interesting sauce more water-based, less mayo flavor than Japanese restaurants in Nevada. The miso ramen was fine, but it didn't really taste like miso. It tasted more like a shoyu, quite watery. Staff was really nice though! I had a great experience with them. Plus, the interior felt like a cozy cafe.

    Hakata ramen. 10/10.
    Deb P.

    The food was definitely 4.5 star worthy. My husband's Japanese champong (not to be confused with Korean jjampong) was 5 star worthy. The special of the day poke bowl was outstanding 5/5. Quality of fish was varied and a quality Japanese rice. The tuna maki was very respectable. Why 4.5 stars? Music was too loud and they need better air extraction for their grill. EXTREMELY courteous service. A real pleasure eating here. We may be back if we're in the area!

    The aftermath

    Wowee Wow Wow! Cherry Blossom Noodle Cafe is off off the hook. Food was great. Service, fast. Atmosphere was especially nice with low lighting and soft music. And the price was very reasonable. Tempura and ginger beef were highlights of the bento. AWESOME LUNCH! Thanks Cherry Blossom.

    I've been to Cherry Blossom many times over a decade, but my experience on Thursday night (11/13/25) was deeply concerning .Enough that I feel it's important to share for the safety of other guests. My coworker, who has ordered the same soup here countless times, immediately noticed that it tasted different this time and was much spicier. She is extremely sensitive to capsaicin and started feeling the early signs of a reaction. We told our server that her throat could begin to close, that something in the soup had changed, and that we would like the soup remade and that we would need to leave to get her medication. Instead of treating this as urgent, the server repeatedly responded with, "There are no jalapeños in the soup," as if that settled the issue. What she didn't seem to understand is that capsaicin -- found in many spicy ingredients, not just jalapeños -- can trigger allergy-like respiratory reactions such as coughing, throat irritation, and shortness of breath, even in people without diagnosed food allergies. A manager (I think she was) eventually came by, but her response was just as dismissive. She also repeated, "There are no jalapeños," without listening to what my coworker was experiencing. There was no empathy, no urgency, and no effort to help during what could have escalated into a medical emergency. This level of disregard for a guest's health is alarming. Accidents happen in restaurants, but how the staff responds is what matters and in this case, the response was unsafe and unacceptable. I truly hope the restaurant takes this seriously and trains staff on how to handle situations involving potential allergic or respiratory reactions. I'm sharing this so other diners are aware and so the restaurant has the opportunity to improve how it handles situations that require basic care and attention. Also I had posted an IG story with what happened and tagged Cherry Blossom- they did see it nor did they respond . They have no emails nor can you message them in a social dm. I do feel this needs to be in writing therefore nothing is skewed.

    I love living near downtown so much, except I feel like there isn't that much great Asian food. I was soo happy when friends introduced me to Cherryblossom because it's some of the best Asian food I've had in Phoenix. It's a Japanese-Italian fusion that always hits the spot. Plus the restaurant is decorated so well and the waiters are always sweet. If you're there on the weekend I highly recommend the bento box. It is a crazy amount of food for only 14-15 dollars. Their rotating selection of desserts is also amazing and shouldn't be skipped.

Definitely a vibe for anime lovers! Food-wise, we started with the gyoza and they were delicious. Perfectly cooked and even better dipped in the ponzu sauce! We also tried the sushi flight, which was a great way to sample a few different flavors. Overall, I really enjoyed it, although the eel was probably my least favorite of the flight just personal preference. The crispy tuna rice was easily the star of the meal! Crispy, flavorful, and the textures worked so well together. I would 100% order that again. The ramen, however, was just okay for me. It wasn't bad or inedible, but the broth was lacking that rich, deep flavor I look for in a good bowl of ramen. A little more depth and seasoning would really take it to the next level. The service was honestly one of the highlights. Our waiter was super friendly, cool, and attentive without hovering, which I always appreciate. Overall, there were definitely more hits than misses. The great service, fun atmosphere, and crispy tuna rice are enough for me to give Full Moon Izakaya another try. Next time, I'll be exploring more of the menu!

Quite the opposite here, I have been a long time customer of this particular location and I've always had an amazing experience with the food as well as excellent service from the staff over the years.

I usually have the Pork Tonkatsu ramen, Katsu sando, and Krazy Fries and everyday I'm away from Phoenix I CRAVE these so badly. Amazing and ambitious flavor combos that all fit so well together.

It does not have any thick, rich broth but the broth that taste like packet. Unfortunately, I felt little scammed that their tonkotsu uses a broth without pork bone. But their response was that their ramen is not traditional (why use the name tonkotsu then? It should be named differently????) Other the menu item misleading, the kimchi did not taste like kimchi either. This is basically like Pei wei or PF Chang type place, overly Americanized Asian food spot. The Krazy fries were good, but way too salty. Overall, this spot uses extra sodium in all of their menu. I usually don't drink a lot of water but I had 2 cups of water and still I felt so salty. Waited 20 minutes for a refill, which we failed to get. So we left. Still tipped 15%.

We were a party of 12 visiting on vacation, and none of us are from the area. We ordered spam musubi and a chicken skewer as appetizers. Both appetizers arrived well after our entrees had already been served and we had essentially finished eating. Each time we asked about them, we were repeatedly told, "They're coming." Mind you, these are simple appetizers that should not take anywhere near that long to prepare. When we asked for the third time, we finally asked that the appetizers be cancelled since we had already finished our meal. At that point, the gentleman working the front area , tall, with red hair, loudly yelled from across the restaurant, in an extremely rude and confrontational tone, "It's already on the grill!" There was absolutely no reason to speak to paying customers that way. His response was unprofessional, unnecessary, and honestly created a very hostile and uncomfortable feeling during what should have been an enjoyable dinner, especially while our group was on vacation and simply trying to enjoy a meal together. When the appetizers eventually came out, we left them sitting there because we were already done eating and ended up taking them to go. He eventually told us they would be removed from the bill, which we appreciated, but that did not excuse the way the situation was handled. Again, the food was good, but good food does not make up for poor service and especially not for an employee speaking to customers in an aggressive and disrespectful manner. Management should seriously address how customers are treated, because the interaction with this particular employee overshadowed what could have otherwise been a good dining experience for our party of 12.
