    Unagi ( Eel ) Bento Box
    Aleyna P.

    Food arrived quickly, but that made it clear they definitely aren't making anything to order. The Takoyaki was cold in the middle and the fried chicken was barely warm and too salty. The eel at least came to us hot and my friend seemed happy with it. Sushi didn't seem fresh and food was over salted. No thanks.

    Miso King Ramen with a side of pumpkin tempura

    We went in for lunch and at this time Mill Ave is going through construction. It is open but you may have to zig zag to get to them. Once you enter you can choose where you would like to sit. You are provided the menu on a tablet and can select your order directly and send it to the kitchen. Water is self served. The food was delivered promptly with no issues. There is minimal contact with the staff so if that's your type of dining then you will enjoy it. At the time we went they had music but we were still able to converse and enjoy our food.

    Great food, with nice ambiance and great service. I would recommend for anyone on ASU campus who wants ramen.

    Maybe it's my Gen X showing, but I was not prepared for this place. We sat down at a table... looked around for someone to help... nope... none. Then we saw a tablet on a different table and re-sat ourselves there. Started to place the order and then the tablet asked us what table we were seated at.... Well... we searched the table for a number and eventually flagged down the food runner and he did some things and we were FINALLY able to order. Ordered two classic ramens, an app, and two drinks. The bartender brought drinks and said if we needed refills to fill them up ourselves. Ramen came out... it was tasty. The pork was really fatty and we both just removed it... I'd say skip the pork. Halfway through the ramen our app came out. We finished eating and then, as luck would have it, our tablet died. Had to flag down the bartender who brought over another tablet. When he handed it over for me to input the tip... wait a minute... I don't tip when I use a kiosk at McDonalds and have to get my own drinks... if this is the future of sit down dining, saving money by not having servers, great! I hope they are paying the food runner a decent wage. Because I am who I am, I did leave a tip, but nowhere near the 20% I usually leave. Overall food was good. Service was non existent. Skip the pork.

    Sashimi nigiri combo

    Not sure why this place isn't rated higher. For Mill Ave, the prices are fair ($5 beers!) and you can get an entire sashimi/nigiri sampler for $16.50. Service is quick and efficient, and the vibes are great with two large tv's playing anime.

    Tonkotsu Ramen, Tokyo Style Ramen, gyoza
    Tony L.

    Food was delicious. We tried the gyoza appetizer, as well as the two ramens shown in the photo. Service was a little slow- you order through electronic tablets and no one will come back to check on you again. But the place was cool and nerdy and the food was great.

    This is a self-serve type restaurant. You seat yourself and there is a QR code where you order your food. You can keep the tab open or pay it upfront. It's interesting that they ask you for tip before you even see your food. The water is even self service. They will bring you your first glass of water, but after that you have to walk to the soda machine, which also makes me question why we are asked to give a tip before we receive our food. My husband ordered chicken, wings, and drumstick chicken skewers. The wings were crispy and had a honey soy glaze which was delicious, but you only get three small flat pieces. So technically 1.5 wing for $7. The drumsticks were small as well but nicely flavored. My husband was done with his two appetizers before my Ramen came out. They definitely forgot about me, but that is OK when I told them they brought one out immediately, which makes me believe that they are kind of premade. I ordered the shoyu Ramen. No no no. Save your money. It was salty, yet flavorless if that makes any sense. It seems that the appetizers here are what to order. I would not order the Ramen.

    Crispy gyoza
    Denise M.

    This is a really cool place on Mill Avenue. I love the decor! There are a lot of interesting things to see on the wall, some anime on the TV, a bar, and paper lanterns. Even the cups water was served in had anime scenes. There was a sign saying to seat yourself. There is a QR code on the table which links to the menu and opens up an account for your table. After you order you can either pay your tab on your phone then, or leave your tab open to order more. When your done, just open it up on your phone and pay. I only saw one person working in the dining room, and all she did was quietly bring out food, then clean tables. It was fast, easy, and efficient! We ordered the crispy gyoza, which was served with a spicy sauce. I'm a huge fan of gyoza, and I really liked this sauce. We also ordered the Japanese red curry with pork "bowl." The word "bowl" was misleading (in a good way)--it came on a large plate and was a huge serving. I don't like curry, but my son loved it. We also got a dragon roll. It was pretty big, and very good. Presentation was good, too. We quickly became fans of Matsuri Izikaya, and I can see us being regulars here.

    Beef Noodle Soup
    Jacquilin N.

    Beef noodle soup had a rich broth flavor. I would recommend adding the spicy paste for a little kick! I would definitely order this again! I would pass on the sushi though.. the rice was hard and the sushi quality was average. Ambiance was great! Loved all the lighting and decor. Service was fine.

    I was here around 6:30PM. You walk in, seat yourself, and then scan for the menu at your table, and then self-order on your phone. You can pay on your phone when you finish- or even when you are ordering. We were greeted and given water once we sat down. Pretty casual atmosphere with low and high top tables. They do have a waitlist available on Yelp. And they are open until 9:30PM. We ordered the Samurai Ramen with shrimp tempura and an extra egg and the Miso King Ramen with chicken casu, crispy tofu and bok choi. Our food arrived within 10 minutes and it was nice and hot. Both dishes looked delicious and they were. Fantastic broth in both ramens with large, fresh shrimp. The eggs were done perfectly. We did not order drinks but they do offer some alcoholic beverages. For two Ramen soups with extras, tax and tip, it was $53.81. The Ramen itself was around $16.00, a little high for ramen, but it is a restaurant on Mill. And once they charge for extras- bok choi is $1.20, shrimp tempura is $4.50, an extra egg is $1.20, it does add up. That being said, I would go again- just not everyday.

    This is a self service type of restaurant, you seat yourself and a waiter/waitress will come to you and give you a tablet to order off of. The waitress was pretty nice and when I went (since no one was there) the ambience was peaceful nd quiet. The food itself was really good, I got the tempura udon I think? I was excepting to get those little tiny ass tempuras that i usually get at Japanese restaurants but this one had some big ass tempura AND they were delicious. Out of all soups that i have ate, this was the only one that had really good broth that i actually drank and finished, the broth was so flavorful and I had also got some tofu on the side that was also delicious.

    Claudia R.

    Honestly think this place was overrated and horrible customer service. IG makes it look like it has this great ambiance but it honestly wasn't great. Food was subpar, but the ramen lacked flavor. I ordered a matcha tea and it tasted like the idea of matcha and tap water.

    Shiyo ramen
    Lu T.

    The food was pretty good as we ordered a bunch of different things. Ramen was tasty. Beef curry was decent and rice bowl with karaage was solid. My only critique would be that you have to order over the phone and make payment there. Service was OK as they only responded after you ordered on the phone. I tried to get someone's attention to order the traditional way, but I was ignored. Still, if you are Tech savvy, highly recommend. If you are not, still come but be patient with the way to order and pay.

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.
