    Grabbed a quick bite at this place during a work trip to Phoenix. Was glad to see the veggie option. The bowl was tasty, ingredients were fresh and prepared right on time. The portion size was really good value for the price. I would say that there was a disproportionate amount of rice but that's not unusual for these types of places. Overall a feet good, filling experience.

    My husband ordered Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with Chow Mein (extra charge) and he loves it,it has brocolli on the side and he finished everything. I ordered Chicken Katsu with curry and they served it in a big bowl with a lot of variety of veggies and the curry was good. (it was too big so i take it a home). The Service was good you just need to wait like 10-15mins but I guarantee you the food was freshly cooked when they served it. The Ambiance was good, they have a natural light. I recommend this place and definitely gonna come back to try more in their menu.

    The menu

    Great place to bring the whole family owner is amazing. staff are great people. have a bunch of stuff to try like the burgers and Mexican fusion. are very quick and accommodating people. Food is AMAZING!!!.

    Spicy Beef Ramen

    Quick dinner with family was on the agenda. Never been to NoRa before. A fairly nondescript building with a minimum amount of ambiance. Simple counter service featuring a selection of dishes from all across Asia. We started with the Pork Katsu - app size portion with a tasty of slightly salty sauce. Moved on to some Spicy Beef Ramen. Broth was good and flavorful. Not overly spicy. Had a good mix of the standard ramen adders - noodles, mushrooms, soft boiled egg, etc... All in all, we had a good experience . N*joy

    This place is walking distance from my house and I'm going to have to go every day I got the spicy chicken miso with a side of extra noodles and a cream cheese rangoons my total was $22. The food was soo good they didn't have the usual sauces for dipping at the tables but you really don't need it. My friend got the spicy beef ramen and it was so savory. Definitely a must try place if you like ramen! Also the extra noodles were good in their own sometimes they can taste like play doh at other places but not here

    I was searching for a quick grab n go on a busy weekday. I saw NoRa on Uber eats. My expectation for quality wasn't through the moon but I decided to roll the dice on NoRa. I ordered a Mongolian bowl. It wasn't complex, beef over white rice, but I was pleasantly surprised how good it tasted. I'd absolutely consider going back again.

    Poke Bowl & Cream Cheese Rangoon (5 Pcs) (Background)

    Aka "Poke Picnic" on Doordash. When you want regular Asian menu, choose NoRa Asian. If you want the poke menu, choose Poke Picnic. Confusing right? My DoorDash driver thinks so and got a text saying "No Poke Picnic." but it's the same business in one building. I even got my order cancelled due to the confusion. Despite that one time mistake, this place is worthy of Asian/Poke fusion. They got Udon, Orange Chicken, Cream Cheese Rangoon Wontons, Brown Sugar Milk Tea, Sushi, Spam Musbi. They make everything fresh. Lots of seats with a view of QT across the street. Spam Musubi is charged per piece. Poke Bowls are worth it. This place has so many choices and yet no one really notices them close to a pawn shop and Whattaburger which moved to Mc. Dowell. I've seen families and couples eat here. Worth it!

    Unagi bowl

    I really am glad I was led to this place! If there is a random Asian-ish food that you can think of, they have it here. From kung pao chicken to pad Thai, from random sushi rolls to spring rolls... they have it here. Seriously... The menu is huge! Friends and I had chicken katsu with curry, Malaysian noodles, and I mostly had the unagi bowl. The bowl was excellent. Full of eel, advocato, seaweed, veggies, all over rice. It was so flavorful and delicious. And afterwards, I wanted more! Next time I go, I want to try their sushi and see how it holds up. I also want to try more of the appetizers. The eating area is plain but lots of tables. Employees were friendly and we later learned they were Burmese immigrants. Really glad that they're helping this place and that they have found their spot in our country. Please give this place a shot!

    Orange Chicken

    I don't eat "Asian Fusion" but my neighbor B loves this place so we hit it tonight. I thought it was a sit down restaurant but it's an "order at the counter" place & they deliver to your table. B orders either Orange Chicken or Teriyaki Chicken every time - he's a creature of habit, for sure. Since I've been sick (no not CV-19), I got the Miso Ramen. It took at least 15 minutes for it to be ready while B got his order & I had my Edamame to start. I even got up to check to see if they'd forgotten. But they were fulfilling a bunch of take out orders & were slammed. Again, I'm no Ramen Queen so I don't have much to compare this to. The menu does not list what ingredients are in each dish, just the name of the dish. Major omission b/c most people like to know exactly what they're eating. Mine was a huge surprise: I had no idea there would be an egg & pork belly in it. The pork belly was too fatty & flavorless for my liking & I could have done w/o it. I think the egg might have been quail? but not really sure. The dish was also not very hot (temperature), but I knew if I sent it back, it would take even more time & I was famished. Over all, B wolfed his Orange Chicken down & loved it. I'm glad I got out of my comfort zone to try something different but don't think I'll be going back. P.S. The portions are huge.

    Spicy Beef Ramen

    Tried their Spicy Beef Ramen with a side of Salmon Sashimi that tasted really yummy and fresh, a egg roll & to drink a Boba Tea of course! Definitely recommend -little missy enjoyed a California Roll & spring rolls & as you can see she enjoyed it! .

    Chicken Dumplings-Gyoza (5 Pcs)

    Food is delicious and well made and employees were friendly. HOWEVER, the service was slow. We didn't order a lot and we waited over almost an hr for our food. They kept passing us and giving orders out to the people behinds us. It was unfair because they ordered more than us. This couple had to wait the same time as we did, probably even more. Overall good quality good, but slow service time.

    Food that I ordered through Uber eats was amazing. Everything was tasty and my favorite is their fried rice. I'm looking forward to be able to dine in soon. Perfect dinner at home on a Friday night. Servings were just right enough that will give you some left overs that you can enjoy whenever you crave for it again.

    Just ate here for the first time, I see what all the hype is about lately about this restaurant in the downtown Phoenix area, their food is so fresh and their portions are so big it's awesome, you get a huge bowl with great sizable portions of protein veggies and carbs all for $8.50. Vince and Dave were the two guys working when I was there awesome dudes, I asked for some thing that wasn't on the menu or at least just inquired about spicy orange chicken and even though it was not on the menu Dave didn't even hesitate to tell me he wake me up some awesome tasting spicy orange chicken, and boy did he ever! GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN AND TRY THIS PLACE!!!

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!

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

Most of the lower set tables were taken so the rez came in handy. Ample bar seating available however. Greeted right away by server and offered drink menus. Both the drinks were phenomenal. I originally wanted the Asahi but they were out of it so they gave me a Japanese Lager from Los Angeles (?), blanking on the name. The Caipirinia was the other drink which was made authentically as well. No complaints on the bartender. Food was 3 Bao Buns and a Chow Mein entree with grilled chicken added on top. This was the perfect amount of food for 2 people. The Bao Buns were extremely soft and light on the breading. If you get them from Din Tai Fung they tend to be dough heavy. These were NOT like that. Chicken and Eggplant buns were tasty and had a light kick to them. Noodles were probably the weakest items, I prefer the rice/flat noodles, but these were normal chow mein noodles. But I had to split the dish with my dining companion who enjoyed the noodles quite a bit. I'd go with Udon or Flat Noodles next time and ask them to add chili flakes. No room for dessert but it sounded delicious, something with bananas. Mhmmm!

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!

    An update from 7 months ago--…read more I've been to this Mensho location a few times now, it's actually very close to my house, I could walk there. Maybe when it's not summer I will :) I had previously mentioned I've been to Mensho Ramen in Japan twice and this location seems to be very close to quality and flavors. I've tried different appetizers on each visit here and I always get the Garlic Knock Out ramen bowl because I love garlic, but next time I need to branch out and try the duck matcha bowl, a friend of mine swears by it. It sounds like an odd flavor combo, but I hear it just works. Coming here is pricey, so this isn't my everyday ramen shop, but once in a while I enjoy it. Other reviewers mention not liking the noodle texture, the soup broth thickness, or overall flavors. Some have even questioned its Japanese authenticity. That's most funny to me, given it's very close to the ramen I had at Mensho in actual Japan. So I don't think it's Mensho who is unfamiliar with Japanese cuisine... I don't love all the apps I've had, for instance I would skip the Takoyaki or corn ribs, or $8 edamame. Next time I'd like to try the Aji fry, many people have said that's good. So, it's likely coming down to personal preference. Service has been solid so far. Servers are friendly and food comes out fairly quickly. Anyhoo, I'd still recommend this spot, and bring friends or family. We recently brought a friend who is vegan and she was happy to see vegan based broths and items on the menu. I think the price point makes it hard for some people to enjoy this place, as it costs about double compared to other bowls of ramen in the valley. But I appreciate that they make their noodles in house and the dining space is very authentic to a ramen shop in Japan (small and nice wood decor). It does remind me of being in Tokyo, which I miss dearly. Mensho here is more expensive than Tokyo. Food in the US costs way more in general. I think most folks would be surprised to learn that. But it's true, Japan has the most amazing food scene and they execute everything perfectly yet it's cheaper in many instances. I was blown away by how affordable food was in Japan. IMO that says more about the state of affairs in the US, and less about this specific restaurant. Some reviews have noted poor quality and management, I haven't noticed that yet, and I hope it doesn't happen. So far, I've liked it enough to keep going back every now and again :)

The tuna and salmon pieces were a little fishy, maybe not the freshest, but it was also quite late (~10pm) so I wasn't expecting too much. Beautifully presented, and the cuts were quite large which was nice! The food came out pretty fast, and the service was pleasant. The restaurant vibes are pretty dark, and moody. The bathroom was kind of scary personally, super dark and a little messy, so I decided to wait till I got home. Overall, a solid experience, and definitely a good choice if I am in the area.

We arrived a little after 5pm and the restaurant was mostly empty. But in the next 20 minutes it filled up and there was open sitting at the bar only. The mood was initially quiet but quickly turned more up beat as the restaurant filled and pop rock music was playing. We asked our waiter a few questions about a few of their rolls and he was very helpful with guidance and recommendations. We ordered Salmon Lemon, Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado Maki and California rolls to share for two. This restaurant uses purple rice rather than traditional white rice. This was the first time we have tried a sushi roll made with purple rice and we both loved it. It added a nutty flavor and hearty texture. Purple rice is similar to wild rice and far nutritionally superior to white rice with more antioxidant and fiber. Shortly after we ordered we were served a potsticker dish. I mentioned that we did not order the item and were informed the appetizer was complementary. We thanked the server and tasted the dish. The potstickers were nicely pan fried and had a great crust and flavorful chicken filling. Delicious! About five minutes later our rolls were delivered. All were fresh tasting and delicious. Our favorite was the Salmon Lemon roll. We loved the pop the lemon added. Honorable mentions to the Spicy Tuna roll, very well done, excellent balance of heat and flavors. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended for a quality sushi experience!
