No reservations taken over the phone. You will have to arrive and write your name down before seating. We waited about 30 minutes during the weekend. No waiting seats available, you may have to wait outside or inside your car. Once your seat is ready, they will call your phone listed. Servers don't take your food orders only through their scanned menu through your phone. Self served water/drinks are available. The noodles are fresh, bouncy and savory. Probably the best ramen I've had in the area. I'd come back again for sure. The only down side was the humidity and lack of air conditioning inside the restaurant. AZ and hot soups are already a combo of the sweats in general. Next time, I'll come during the winter season. The popcorn chicken was also delicious! read more

Will constantly come back here for my Ramen cravings. Best I've had in Phx area. The vibes are awesome in here too, anime theme! Cha-Shu Men ramen is THE go to! Omg, the noodles, perfection. Pork, tender and sweet. Broth, absolutely flavorful!! It's a must have Takoyaki, they went heavy on the mayo, preferably not my style. Very saucy and couldn't really enjoy it as much. read more

First off the food is very authentic, it reminds me of ramen I got when I visited Japan which is great. The service is good and you order food on their website through a QR code and the ambience is filled with Japanese stickers, and anime related objects. I would recommend getting the ramen here but honestly not the rice bowls. Don't get me wrong, they are very tasty but the portion is not worth the price. Come and check this place out for some good ramen. read more

My husband has been on ramen kick and I think we finally found our ramen place! We were seated quickly and were told that you order all food through the QR code which was convenient and made things go much faster. The food had great flavor with a really great price to go with it. There wasn't one thing that we ordered that we would could've complained about. The restaurant is cute with an anime theme. I highly recommend Origami! read more

Low 3.5 It was my first time here and I came to catch up with a friend on weeknight. It was not busy so we were able to grab a table pretty quickly. At first, I was pretty thrown off by the online ordering. The server didn't come by at all so you wouldn't know that you have to order online and you might sit there waiting a bit. Once you ordered online, you pay for your meal, but you can't accurately determine how much tip to put since you haven't been served yet; therefore, the system is a little flawed. I ordered the spicy with tofu. I like how they did the tofu here because it was not just an soft tofu and had a bit of texture to it. The toppings that came with ramen was good but it's not impressive in comparison to other places. The broth was good but it tasted like ramen seasoning. It was not spicy but instead very salty! I couldn't taste much flavor in the broth. Another thing was that the portion was small for the price that you are paying. You won't get full off of just a ramen, but if that's what you like then it's not bad. The service was not present but that's just the style of the restaurant. The seating was not that spacious but they had a a decent amount of tables inside. Overall, it's not a bad place but I don't think the ramen is that good and it's just too salty. read more

Had a craving for ramen and saw this place the night I tried Papa Chevo's (next door) & saw many people going in to dine or bringing take out to go so today I thought I would try it. Nice dine in restaurant, very quaint and cozy. Friendly, helpful waitstaff. You have to scan the QR code on the table using your phone in order to bring up the menu, order, & pay for your meal. I asked the very handsome waiter what item he recommended & he suggested the Classic & I got that, substituting pork belly for chicken & got an iced green tea to drink. Very good & quite filling! You get your money's worth & then some! They have utensils & also chopsticks at each table. Good music plays in the background. The ambience is nice. Warning: this place is pricey but worth it if you're looking for something different to eat. read more

We were out shopping for fans, and hungry. Found this through a search on yelp, and woo wee, we scored big-time! This place is tiny but mighty awesome. Love the anime all over and the sticker walls added a cool vibe. The Broth alone in the Tokyo Shoyu will bring me back. The noodles were al dente perfection, and the egg cooked just right. We both got the wave of food relaxation at the same time, aka full and happy bellies. Cannot wait to go back and try other items. read more

Origami Ramen Bar has great service and cute interior concept that would make any anime and manga lover feel welcomed. Unfortunately, I've had much better ramen elsewhere in the valley, so it's really hard for me to recommend it. There are dishes besides ramen on their menu that did catch my eye though. Parking is easy in the plaza. When you walk in, you'll be met with walls covered in anime and manga related stickers that are very fun. They even have an entire wall dedicated to One Piece wanted posters! What makes Origami Ramen Bar stand out from other establishments is that you can opt to have minimal contact ordering through QR code. Each table has a unique code you can scan with your phone. You can easily place your order and pay online. We did this as it was a more novel experience. Service is super patient and kind. They will explain to you how the system works if you are unfamiliar and are willing to answer questions about it and the food. If you are uncomfortable with ordering through QR code, they also let customers order up front at the register. I ordered the Rich Miso Ramen. It comes with a huge sheet of nori, corn, chashu (pork belly), marinated egg, generous amounts of garlic, fried shallots, and wavy noodles. Unfortunately, the corn in my bowl was refrigerator cold, but that can easily be fixed by making sure to mix it all into the broth before you eat. The bigger offense was that my noodles were also undercooked. I prefer al dente noodles, but mine tasted a bit raw and floury in the middle. The flavor was also not quite there for me. The broth was very salty and heavy. The one plus side is they are at least more generous with their noodle portions compared to other ramen shops. My partner got the Tokyo Shoyu Ramen. He also felt it was underwhelming and very heavy. It's a shame because we really did want to like this place. Perhaps the other ramen or dishes are better, so it could be worth ordering something different from what we did! We may return in the future to try something other than ramen. read more

The service is absolutely terrible here. My group ordered together. The order was placed at the exact same time, and everyone finished eating before I got my meal. I'm not exaggerating that it was over 20 minutes after my entire party was done eating before I got my food. read more

A great casual spot serving delicious ramen! The Black Soy and Tokyo Shoyu ramens delivered a deep umami balanced with a natural sweetness. The broth and noodles felt very authentic, however I feel the other toppings were the weak point. Ordering with the QR code is quick and efficient with payment through your phone as well. We will have to return to try the other dishes! read more

Would be 5 stars all day.. I dislike the ordering experience so much that I almost wanted to walk out. Forced to order on the app or website. Want all your info.. I still want the human interaction. If i am forced to tip. Give me more than leaving my bowl of food in the table and walking away. Now to the food. Spicy origami. A lot spicier than I thought it would be fyi. It's a solid bowl of ramen. Not too rich. Pork is done so well. It's a big bowl. Already has eggs so no need to add extras.. Little pricey but worth it. read more

First time visitor to this nice little space next door to Urban Air. Clean, good seating, friendly greeting. I'm not a fan of using my Very Small Phone to access a menu and try to review all of the offerings before placing order. Luckily they are prepared for that and brought me a laminated "menu" of the appetizers/entrees but no drinks or Prices....Food was Excellent. Smelled good, looked good, Tasted Great. The Spicy Miso with tofu was delightful. It's hard to be cranky after sipping (ok, slurping) some of the broth while shoveling ramen noodles into your mouth !! I prefer full table service in a sit down restaurant but I will overcome that little hangup and Return for more Ramen!! read more

Great place! Came here for lunch, and ordered the origami classic. It came out fast and hot. The staff were all very helpful and smiling. One person recommended the spicy ramen, I'll have to try that next time, but the classic was delicious! The last time I enjoyed my ramen this much was when I was visiting Los Angeles. They also have a clear vegetarian broth. I will have to try that next time as well. Be mindful of the hours though, they close from 3-5 on Wednesdays. And you order through an app, but they deliver the food to the table. read more

Honestly it's been tough trying to do a review on Ramen places in the US because I've had the actual Japanese Ramen in Japan years before it became a "thing" in the United States. But alas....I have found a place that truly brought those feelings, tastes, savory, style & ramen structure here in AZ. Origami really mirrors the authenticity of Japanese Ramen & they even offer tokoyaki!!!! I have found my Go To Ramen place in the Valley & it's called Origami Ramen Bar! I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to experience ramen authenticity! Even their rice bowls mirrors actual Japanese rice bowls. I'm impressed! read more

This is such a great spot for ramen. It's Ahwatukee's first ramen bar. Chef Yusuke Kuroda learned to cook and received his culinary degree in Japan. He then worked at a prestigious restaurant in Beverly Hills before coming here to open Origami Ramen Bar. Even though ramen is pretty popular right now, I think there is always room for more good quality ramen spots here in the Valley. Origami Raman Bar opened right in the middle of COVID-19 summer and has received a warm welcome so far. The chicken and pork broth is made in-house and is described as "ultra-rich and creamy". I think the broth is phenomenal. It's so rich and full of flavor and I love the seasonings. There are about eight different bowls to choose from. I personally love the spicy one. Also on the menu are hand rolls, rice bowls, and appetizers like fried chicken and takoyaki (a popular snack containing octopus). On the sweet side, there are a variety of milk teas to choose from and matcha & black sesame cake. I'm pretty stoked to have Origami Raman Bar so close to home and looking forward to a return visit. read more

One of the best ramen spots in AZ! It's so hard to stray away from Origami because the ramen is simply delicious -- from the broth, to the toppings, and the juicy chashu (I do wish they gave you a little more). The environment makes you feel right at home; they have tons of anime stickers and decor everywhere! The service is slightly comparable to how it is in Japan, you order through a QR code with minimal interaction with the waitstaff. However, I've never had any issues or miscommunication with the website or the staff. Pro tip: add the garlic! read more

Nice clean restaurant, comfortable seating. There is no real service here, though. You scan a QR code and order on your phone while inside, and they bring your food. Food is just OK, but in the area, I prefer other options for ramen, we have so many excellent options here in the valley. Popcorn shrimp app came served with straight ketchup on the side?? It tasted like it was purchased frozen in bulk rather than prepped / breaded there. Two people with a small app and two ramen... $57 out the door. I just don't think that the quality of the food matches the price point they are charging. I wish them the best, but I won't be back, unfortunately. read more

The first time I went there was amazing. The food felt authentic and was delicious. I was so excited to go back last week, but they were closed when they should have been open. I looked in the window and saw someone was inside but the place was dark and nobody answered the phone. So I wonder now if they are closed, which is unfortunate if so. I'll update my rating if I go back and they aren't closed. read more

Amazing Ramen with flavor that is complex and crafted with love and attention to detail. I had the spicy black garlic and my wife had the traditional. Both were super yummy. It was actually my wife's first time to a ramen shop and she was instantly hooked. The service is simple and efficient and the space has a fun Japanese feel. It's my second time going to Origami Ramen and I can't wait to go back. read more

I wished I could comment on the food. However, I've been there twice and could not get an order placed to save my life. You have to scan a QR code and order on your phone. Both times I went in and tried on two separate occasions, I could not get it to work. Also, the music there is so loud and obnoxious that you can't even think clearly to figure out the ordering system on your phone. I was so frustrated I just had to walk out, again.... read more

2024 decided to knock me on my butt. I have been sick since the first of the year and today I was feeling a lot better and wanted soup. Ramen to be exact. So a friend and I decided to get me out of the house and we decided on Origami Ramen Bar due to TikTok reviews saying it's the best. It's a cute little place full of anime stickers all over the walls. The server was friendly and attentive. You view the menu and order on your phone or with the server. We ordered and paid on our phones and then they brought the food out to our table. That was pretty convenient. Now for the food. To start we got the firecracker dumplings and they were fire. So, so delicious. I highly recommend these. They were not very spicy at all but they were good. We also got the spicy shrimp tempura which were also delicious but not very spicy either. Nice and crunchy with I believe is spicy mayo and eel sauce on top. I forgot to get a picture of it. My friend ordered the rich miso ramen which I tried and it was good. The broth had a nice flavor and I normally don't like miso. I ordered the original ramen which has a chicken and pork broth and it was pretty delicious. The broth was so good the egg was cooked perfect. Very delicious bowl of ramen. I asked for noodles on the side because I knew I wouldn't finish my soup. The TikTok reviews we saw said it's the best ramen in Phoenix. I wouldn't say it's the best for me but it does make my top 5 of ramen places I've had so far in Phoenix. Overall very nice experience and good food. I say give it a try and see for yourself. read more

Heard about this spot late last year and decided to try it out. we ordered to go and we were not disappointed! I had the spicy chicken ramen and added extra garlic. honestly the garlic was not needed. the broth was just delicious! I liked how they packed the to go order ....the container was large enough to hold the noodles and the meat and veggies and the broth too. perfect for eating at home. don't need another bowl at home! we also ordered the fried chicken. we really liked it and this was not piping hot as it was to go. but imagine at the restaurant! I've been back a few times since we first ordered. definitely should check it out! read more

I have to say, this was a place recommended by @azfoodguy and it didn't disappoint. Love the atmosphere and how you're self service, from the menu to everything that they have to offer. I was surprised and amazed the ordering system, you scan the QR Code on the table the menu appears and you place your order. The service is fast in last than 10 minutes our food (Classic Ramen, Cha Shu, Miso Ramen, Spicy Rock Shrimp Tempura) was on the way to the table. Now let's get to the quality of the food. The booth is rich and creamy, we didn't and salt or soy sauce, the chef prepared everything to perfection. You have to come here and check it out, you won't be disappointed!!!!! read more

Let me preface by saying... we have eaten A LOT of ramen - from San Francisco to LA and even here in Arizona. Ordering is through QR code... not really a way to ask questions or interact with staff. The ramen here is just ok...pork belly slices are too sweet and tough. The rich miso broth was sweet which is strange it is normally just rich in flavor. My husband normally gets spicy tonkatsu broth and enjoys it. The spicy here was so spicy he could not eat it- so he let the staff know (maybe even the owner) know- so he brought plain broth to add to it which made taste like milk water and though my husband tried to enjoy it he could not eat it. Waste of $$$ and no one wanted to hear that it was too spicy or give any other input. Needless to say we will not be back. There are many other solid ramen places to try. read more

Good stuff! I dragged myself from Scottsdale over her just try the ramen. Got the black soy and nibbled a dumpling and rock shrimp. It was all delicious, ramen was well worth the drive. Not sure why all the complaining about the ordering, it's easy enough and they have someone there who you can order from if you prefer and will take care of you while you eat.

Maybe their prices are a bit higher but the quality of their food backs it up and reminds me of my trips to Japan.

I came to Origami Ramen Bar because so many people from Arizona Asian Facebook Group recommended this place. And last week me n my friend have try it and YESSSS THAT WAS SO GOOD !!! One of best ramen place in AZ ! Especially in East Valley ! The place is nice and not too busy when we arrived on Sunday around 5.30 Pm. But after we ate, people started coming hahaha.

Best ramen we've been able to find in Phoenix. Got here, little to no wait on a Saturday evening (around 5:30 pm, went right after golfing). Interestingly, you order through an app and you tip before you get your food, which I'm not really a fan of. I don't know how service will be and what if I want to add more later? It's a new order each time? I don't know, seems everyone hated that so maybe they should have an option to order while there -- like what we're used to?! ANYWAYS ... Said it'd take 20 mins but it was much less time than that. That was a perk at least. The food definitely made up for the odd ordering process. The hand rolls we had were delicious. So were the octopus balls. Then the main course, I got the super spicy - which was finally spicy (not so bad that one cannot handle it though) - for Phoenix. The noodles were perfectly al dente. The broth was flavorful - though salty - and have plenty of water after. The egg was cooked well (a little more cooked than runny) but the char siu pork was really fatty and great. I'm a big fan and will definitely be going here for my ramen kick. read more

Cute little place next to urban air l, my daughter loves animate and ramen and when we walked in there was animate stickers everywhere so she lost her mind lol, the service was good. Gratuity is included 15%. You scan the code, order, pay and they bring you the food, there isn't much interaction but I liked it that way. You can serve yourself tea or water and the food was really good. My ramen was spicy and it was a big portion. I ate almost everything and was so full. We had a good time.

This place was everything the reviews state. The broth was so good!! The pork belly was tender and sweet, and I ordered the original with juicy white meat chicken and it was delish! We also ordered the spicy tuna hand roll as well as the addition of the two shrimp. Husband had the spicy and was very happy! We did have some who ordered curly noodles vs the regular ramen, and both were delish! Yes. I didn't take any photos! Sorry! The ramen images most have posted we're actually exactly how our bowls came out and I was too hungry to wait!
