We will drive down from Phoenix just for this food (and have on multiple occasions). We then eat here for lunch and dinner in the same day. The ramen at dinner time is always better because the soup has been cooking all day, but it's still amazing at lunch time He orders the red spicy chili tonkotsu and I order the black roasted garlic tonkotsu with a side of chili oil. The black garlic tonkotsu is so savory and outstanding. The gyozas are kinda soggy but have a great flavor, and we dip them in the broth anyway so we don't mind the texture Always a great experience and the staff is always kind and attentive. The outdoor seating area is cute and the whole place feels clean and inviting despite being a small restaurant. Cannot recommend this strongly enough

It was very good, with a nice gingery flavor. Service was good. The restaurant is a casual spot in a building that appears to be a former fast-food joint. I was curious about the name. Apparently "raijin" means "thunder god" in Japanese.

Here's an update to my original post and I am so glad I decided to come back and try it again…read more There's so much to like about Kiwami Ramen. Namely the food is delicious, but there's more. The people are kind. I went through the drive through and asked what they recommended for ramen and went with the curry with pork. So good. They were helpful and sweet and I love that. You can tell that they genuinely like the food and that's everything. The packaging was very nice, stapled and nestled in a paper bag. I never doubted that it would tumble over or spill all over my car. It came in a large plastic bowl within a bowl and broth was on the bottom so it was easy to add the noodles vegetables and meats to the broth. The second time through pick up I chose the Tonkatsu a miso based broth with pork and egg. How do they get the egg so perfectly cooked? It's magic I think. Can't wait to try all the things.

I would recommend for a quick bite to eat.

This food was not good. The chicken is fried but tastes like fish.we tried the desert ramen and it was so spicy you couldn't taste anything, and that is coming from people who love spice. The noodles were cooked well but getting the lid off the ramen was obnoxiously harder than it needed to be. Couldn't get over the fishy taste of everything, including the wings and fries.

I got the spicy red miso, small chicken garlic parm, and my husband got the vegan ramen. All were extremely flavorful and fresh tasting and came out quickly. They have a good selection of pre bottled drinks as well to complement the dishes. The red miso definitely satisfied my spicy tastes if you are the type of person who can eat a bag of hot Cheetos without blinking you'll be fine but if you're sensitive to spice you might want to skip that option. On the menu they do have chili peppers next to the items to indicate the spice level. The portions are BIG and definitely worth it. They come in the cutest bowels and have an excellent packing system of the broth is separate from the noodles and other items if you're getting it to go. The actual restaurant is quirky for sure with Easter eggs hidden and anime and Pokémon around the restaurant. This is DEFINITELY better than Obon and Raijen hands down. This is my new favorite ramen spot!

In the sizzling desert heat of Tucson, finding a legit spot for Chinese noodle soups seems like a…read moremirage - but the people don't lie. The unassuming run down strip mall facade I hope offers a low rent lot for them to keep business going forever, and also offers customers pretty reliable free parking. Take a menu and order first at the register before finding a seat within the bare bones interior. Yes, there's a cool wall mural of a kung fu noodle girl and a LOT of (hopefully) ironic quips about working, but otherwise it's just some tables, the glass storefront, the register, and the kitchen. It's fortunately pretty spacious so you won't have to feel the heat radiating from your neighbor or their soup bowl. I like a focused menu, and Noodleholics has just a few different options that they do and do well. We opted for the spicy Chaoshou Dumplings as well as a bowl of the Taiwanese Beef and The Guilin. The Chaoshou Dumplings were good but just okay, with me hoping for an oilier type sauce to better coat each dumpling, though the sauce definitely has a kick. The noodle soups though... Wow. Both soup bases were savory rich and nourishing, packed full of fresh protein and veggies. I liked the wide wheat noodles more than the thinner rice noodles in the Guilin, but really enjoyed the mixture of pickled veggies and crunchy peanuts that often don't make it into dishes outside of a true Chinese restaurant. I do think the beef and pork could be more tender, but they really perfected the crispy skin of the pork. This is a great affordable, casual meal that just feeds your soul, and I like that once they bring your food out, everything else is self-serve so you're not waiting around for a takeout box or refilling water, which is all located at a convenient counter. Another mark of an authentic Asian restaurant is a toothpick dispenser (check!). If they ever opened a location in my area, I know I'd be a regular!

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. Restaurant was clean. Parking was spacious. You have to try this!!
