Drooling as I look at it again! My server was so sweet & made the experience!

We came in around 2pm on a Saturday, and Mensho was not busy at all. We were seated quickly and met…read morewith a friendly face! The interior is beautiful and I could imagine it'd be a fun place to go on a date. We ordered the fried shitake mushrooms as an appetizer... I highly recommend! It was unlike anything - so light and salty and addictive! And it wasn't too filling when shared. Everyone at the table ordered the Garlic Knock Out ramen with an added egg. The broth was super thick and rich with the most garlic flavor I've ever had in a bowl of ramen. It had tree roots on top, which I could've gone without. The sous vide chicken was so tender, but I heard they used to give chashu with the bowl before. Overall, my fam had a great experience here and most likely will be returning!

The beef fresh spring rolls were surprisingly large, packed with tender beef and fresh vegetables, making them filling enough to share. Everything tasted fresh, and the portions offered excellent value. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

On the way back to Chandler from Glendale and always wanted to explore Laveen. After reading Pho…read moreLaveen's review, I knew immediately that this would be a great start. The visit was overall pleasant. The service was a bit slow and not really flowy. I also was surprised when I asked about the happy hour menu I found online and the servers seemed to be confused and had no clue. Food wise, everything was flavorful. The fried tofu appetizer was nicely seasoned. My vermicelli bowl with beef and spring roll was at the perfect portion size with all the ingredients I expected. My friend's pan fried noodles also came at a decent portion with plenty of colors. We would have stayed for a bit longer and chat more, but this place got busy right at 7 and I felt bad for holding up for 4-top when there were people waiting to be seated. I'll be back soon for the next delicious meal!

He was extremely attentive, and so was my sushi chef, Fernando. Lorisa, my waitress, was as sweet and friendly as can be. Now let's get to the food. The quality is definitely there. The sashimi was cut the correct way--not too thin and not too thick, exactly how it should be. They also have a good happy hour, but that is not the only reason to come here. I can only speak to the sashimi and sushi, but the quality was excellent and they serve fresh wasabi game changer. So for sushi Downtown I would say this is one of the best. They also have other offerings. There are others that once were good but lost there touch as they grew recomend.

If you do end up going, there is one thing on the menu you absolutely must try: The matcha tiramisu!! I am speechless to how good this is, its not super tiramisu-esq in flavor, yet their own rendition is impeccable, flavor and texture alike! I hope you guys try this little local shop, and I hope they have a fruitful future. Thanks again to the owners for a wonderful dinner :)

We went on a random weekday for lunch and were able to get seated right away. You just order through the ipad at the table. Super convenient because you can look through each item individually and assemble your cart. You do checkout and pay right away, which can be done through the ipad if paying by card/cashless. The food came out fairly quickly. I got the origami classic with pork belly. It also comes with vegetables and a soft boiled egg. Other than ramen, they also have a variety of appetizers, onigiri, udon, curry, donburi (rice bowl), and many drink options. I really enjoyed my ramen! The broth was really nice and the pork belly was delicious. I would love to come back!

There were still about 4 groups still in the restaurant, but was mainly open. I could see this place getting busy during the weekends though, so recommend a res if you're here during peak hours. We started with cold sake and a couple of cocktails. Super cute and yummy drinks, creative and complimented the overall theme. The Asahi beer was huge and came with an ice cold glass, perfect! We got the orange chicken and drunken noodles with added chicken breast. The food was fresh and tasty. I liked that the orange chicken came with rice, and was not overly breaded. The drunken noodles were pretty salty but overall good. These two entrees were enough for two people to take a little bit of leftovers home. Recommend for a nice date night or if looking for some Asian fusion. We'll be back!

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!

I've served in restaurants for 20 years, at elite places such as, Hillstone along with Chelsea's Kitchen and Buck and Rider, and I am appalled by the behavior of the staff tonight. I discourage anyone from coming into this place. The service is underrated. And as a paying customer, enjoying a meal with a friend, I am very disturbed that they would kick us out before closing time. This lady walks around and says "closed, closed" and starts turning off all the lights. I said "Oh the website says you close at 10pm" and the lady with the top knot bun and glasses said "yeah, but no one is in here so we are closed." Ummm we were in there. Poor hospitality on their part. Not worth it. Go somewhere else. Sushi Michi on 16th st & Bethany, or Full Moon Izakaya Sushi and Ramen, is way better and they don't close earlier because they didn't have any walkins at the point, nor do they kick people out before closing time. Also when we left a car had just pulled up to grab dinner. Turning away customers is poor ethics on behalf of Cherry Blossom. No wonder no one goes here and everything is so out dated. ALSO I had asked for a wine sample to decide which wine I wanted and our waitress said "we don't do samples". Okay well every other restaurant I've been to and worked at has samples. What a way to miss a sale. Wine was $15 a glass. Wouldn't you want that to improve your check average? These people are turning away money. So sad
