    Sapporo Miso Butter Ramen
    Vicky E.

    My wife and I saw the all the positive reviews on yelp for this place and wanted to give it a try . We are not well versed on ramen but understand how popular it is. When we arrived , they were pretty busy. It is a pretty small place so I'm sure it fills up fast. We were immediately greeted with a smile. We were shown to a table and given our menus. My wife loves edamame so she had to get the edamame sticks. They were so GOOD! We also ordered the crispy Goyza's. They were good, but nothing super special. Our ramen bowls were good but I guess I thought all the bowls came with a broth, but they don't. That was my fault. We will go back again so I can try the ramen "in broth". The only thing I didn't like, the soda was served in a can. No glass, ice, or straw. I don't like drinking out of a can and I do like it over ice. :) That's the only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

    Spicy Mayu Tonkotsu Ramen level 4

    Love this place, always a hit! Our usual location in Dobson Rd but so excited to have one right around the corner. Sushi is great but the real deal is the Ramen and the gyozas! This location is a lot smaller then the Dobson location but still really cute and simple. The service never fails. Both locations we have had exceptional service.

    Cucumber Salad
    Kendall N.

    Came for dinner today and it was great! I got the kimchi ramen and it was delicious! I also got the cucumber salad which I really like. The ramen had excellent flavor. I think all the ramen here is very good. I don't like super spicy foods but you can order it on a range from one to five if you want it really hot. Our food came reasonably fast. It was busy when we arrived but then it cleared out. When we left a few more people were coming in.

    Came here spontaneously with my sister as we were in the area. Didn't have any expectations but the server was friendly & made sure to check on us. There was plenty of seating inside and it was nice and clean. We both got the spicy tonkatsu ramen and did the level 2 slice. We were told it's similar to hot Cheetos spice level so we both confidently knew we could handle it. I could probably do level 3 next time. The broth was tasty and i love that they char the pork. The soft boiled egg was cooked to perfection as well. It was a pleasant surprise and I would come back if I were in the area again!

    Mayu Tonkotsu Ramen

    Can I give a 10 star? Cause this is some of the best ramen I've ever had. We saw the reviews for this place so we wanted to check it out. I will tell yall it's a small place. It can fill up fast but everything. There was perfect. The server was super nice quick and helpful. We even had the manager come up and help with the menu for recommendations. They do have two location This location is known for the ramen and noodles. Now the best part, the ramen itself was so flavorful. I got the Mayu tonkotsu ramen and it had the best broth I've ever had. Paired with the black garlic oil. And the pork for it. Chefs kiss. We even saw a regular who said out loud he's there every Sunday and as soon as he sat down the server just said his order and the regular smile and thanked him for remembering. Come to this place. I know we are coming back to taste more of the delicious food

    Gyoza

    This location is featured in Yelp's Top 100 Ramen Shops 2025 (According to Yelp Reviewers). Any time Yelp has a list, I'm always trying to check out the ones in the Phoenix area near me. My fellow Yelpers are always supporting local and have some of the best suggestions, so I invited two friends to go along with me to try on Boxing Day (day after Christmas). Upon arrival, I noticed it was a small location and parking was a bit tricky with the Discount Tire sharing the parking lot. The place was packed 30 minutes after opening, but easy to do with the size of the location. There are 8 tables (24 seats), so this place fills up quickly. No worries as I'm always willing to wait for good food, but wanted to note so others can plan ahead. What We Ordered: - Garlic Edamame - Cucumber Salad - Gyoza - Chicken Fried Rice - Mayu Tonkotsu Ramen - Shio Chicken Ramen Overall, we were fairly happy with all the food. Though my ramen was pretty oily, but that could be a me thing as typically I eat a vegetarian ramen. My friend remarked it looked more oily than hers, and was a little odd comparative to other ramen we've had before. Still had a great flavor, and I'd definitely return to try a different version. Definitely get the garlic edamame every visit as it's some of the best I've ever add - perfect flavor and crunch! If you are in the area and craving ramen, check out this location!

    Mayu Tonkotsu Ramen (add corn)
    Ariel S.

    Love that this place is so close to home. My favorite ramen is the Mayu Tonkatsu, with added corn. I have never seen this place empty, and I doubt I ever will because it is so good. Even though it seems busy, the staff is always very helpful about menu items or suggestions for new guests, and I have never had to wait longer than 10 minutes for a table. I look forward to coming back.

    Cucumber Salad gyoza
    Helena L.

    tldr popular ramen spot serving up affordable ramen that needs some improvement on broth but has friendly service and clean setting i have really high expectations with ramen and unfortunately daruma did not meet them. the key component is a great broth and daruma's broth was really weak in flavor without much depth in pork flavor or its supposed miso flavoring. partner got classic tonkatsu and i got the spicy miso butter ramen. classic tonkatsu had a strong garlic flavor which masked the weak pork broth but was better than the spicy miso ramen. the spicy miso broth had barely any miso flavor. the toppings and noodles are what saved the dishes. the egg noodles itself was plentiful, bouncy, fresh, and tasty. they also provided a lot of solid toppings - bean sprouts, egg, grilled charsu. unfortunately, broth makes and breaks ramen so i would not recommend. the cucumber salad and gyoza were standard. i liked that the cucumbers were sliced thin to absorb the marinate better. gyoza seem to be the standard frozen ones that were fried. i did like the dipping sauce though. the restaurant seem very new and clean. service was really friendly so it was just a bit unfortunate that the flavors were not up to par. overall, i will not be coming back to eat here but hope that they can improve on broth as everything else seems solid! food 3/5 service 4/5 ambiance 3.75/5 value 3.5/5

    Udon soup and crispy tuna rice portions
    Samantha N.

    First time trying this place and I ordered it to go. Everything was really good. At first, I thought the crispy tuna rice portions were a little too big. When I opened the box and saw there were only four, I was like wow, that's it? But the pieces are actually huge, so it ends up being worth the price. That said, I think the flavor balance would be even better if they made the pieces slightly smaller and served six instead. I also got the udon soup, which was great. Just a classic udon, and you really can't go wrong with that. Service was quick and efficient, and when I walked in to pick up my order, the restaurant had a darker, cozy ambiance that I liked. Overall, a solid experience and I'd definitely go back.

    Japanese melon drink
    Alan B.

    I was shocked to see a place rated 4.9 stars, but I now see why. The place has bench tables, and made the most of their space. I ordered the Japanese carbonated melon drink, I had no clue how to open it. The gentleman that brought me the drink, patiently showed me how to use it. It about blew up on me, but it's probably due to user error aka me. I ordered the sui gyoza and the tonkatsu ramen with chicken and bean sprouts added. The broth for the sui gyoza was phenomenal!! I actually wish I could take home a large cup of the broth! Best broth I've had! There was something else in it, I made sure to mix it before trying it. My ramen was also very very good, I was so full when I left!! Definitely coming back!

    Bekah S.

    We tried three different types of Ramen, gyoza, chicken fried rice and cucumber salad! Wow 10/10! 100/10! The Kimchi Ramen is out of this world! I'll be dreaming of the cucumber salad forever! Everything was so flavorful and incredible. The service was incredible! Shout out to James! This is the kind of service that makes an incredible meal a magnificent one. Thank you Daruma for one of our best 2025 meals!

    Isabella R.

    We have lived near Daruma for a year now and we decided we wanted ramen for lunch and we pass this place everyday. We got there early like right at open we sat by the window. The waiter was so nice and he genuinely cared about our experience. He recommended different items, spice levels, and appetizers. Everything was so yummy and so fresh. I got the Sapporo Miso Butter Ramen level 2 spice, it was the perfect balance. I will be going here often and bringing new people when I do come back. Everyone should try it.

The spice levels felt pretty accurate, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the meat was tender, and the noodles had a great texture. Each bowl had its own flavor profile, but both were equally delicious. We also tried the takoyaki (octopus balls). I was already getting full, so I wasn't as excited about them, but my boyfriend described them as a BBQ pancake bite. Overall, this is a great spot for ramen. I did notice the music was all girl bands and no boy bands. Clean restaurant, good service, flavorful food, and a fun atmosphere. I'd definitely come back.

First, Sizzling House sits around a plethora of amazing food options in the Mesa Asian District. It is a small eatery and very casual. We started with the dumplings and karage. These were where the rating dropped. I didn't find anything memorable about either... My friend ordered the tokontsu ramen with think noodles. I had a taste, and while I'd order it if wanting ramen, this was what I expect of good ramen. It hit the right notes on taste and the noodle s were cooked well, just nothing that would make me perk up if someone wanted to get ramen. The highlight, which would have made this a debate between 4 and 5 stars, and which I will go back for (already excited!), was the sizzling Angus beef plate with thick udon noodles. This was one of the better dishes I have had of late, and I am glad I got extra beef and opted for the black pepper sauce. The thinly sliced beef with the thick udon noodles was a perfect pairing, and I ate this much faster than I meant to, not leaving any leftovers despite the add ons. Food came out quick. Staff was friendly.

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
