For ramen, we ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu and Spicy Miso. Both were rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. The broth was incredible, the noodles were cooked perfectly, and every ingredient tasted fresh and intentional. We've had ramen all over, and this was hands down the best ramen we've ever had. Great food, great flavors, and a meal we'll be thinking about for a long time. We can't wait to come back.

I've been sick in bed all day. I have no food in my house and I've been so desperately hungry since…read moreI woke up. I tried to go out to get food but my head had been spinning and my lungs ached with every move I made. I finally, with the last $30 in my account, caved and got UberEats. I got myself the miso ramen and a Philadelphia roll and hoped that it would still be warm by the time it got to me. Fast forward 30 minutes and I get a knock at my door. I opened and saw Vinh, the driver, and a beautiful, picture-perfect, pink and blue Arizona sky framing him stood at my doorway with my meal. I grabbed the bag and thanked him, then sat and turned on Smosh read reddit stories and dug in. I would kill to relive that first bite again. I could feel my throat mending itself instantly with the warm broth. The spice was so perfectly hot. My sinuses were freed from their snotty prison for the first time in days. The pork was falling apart as I picked it up. God it was glorious. I can't remember the last time I felt so incredibly satisfied after getting food delivered. I feel the best I have in days thanks to this miracle soup. The roll was also fire. Type shi Thank you, Azusa Ramen & Sushi

Been wanting to try here for a while so I was excited since we were close…read more Came here for lunch, ordered extra spicy shoyu on fire and friend ordered the lunch special with shoyu ramen, chicken karaage, and edamame. Interesting concept of order, pay, take number and sit. It will be interesting to see how that works when it's busy. Food cane pretty quick, and my ramen presentation was nice. Mixed the extra chilli and broth had little kick but not extra spicy. Ramen noodle was pretty tasty and chewy. Portion could have been little bit bigger but not too bad. Edamame was same ole same ole nothing out of the ordinary. Chicken karaage was bit disappointing, portion was pretty good but then chicken was soggy and didn't care for all the sweet sauce that was on it. My friend complained that her shoyu ramen was very salty. So I tasted the broth and it was little on the salty side. Over all food was not bad but I had a higher expectation. Definitely was not good enough for me to return.

We live in Phoenix, but my wife gets her hair done in Mesa. We always look for someplace new to eat…read moreafterwards for dinner. I search Yelp for something, and Tampopo Ramen caught my eye. The reviews looked good, and I love Ramen, which isn't easy to find a place that makes good Ramen. This is a very small place, with the kitchen right there for all to see. And in the kitchen was one older woman, and seating, taking orders, and serving was one young man. This is a Tuesday early evening, so when we entered there was only one person eating. We got seated immediately , perused the menu, got some suggestions and placed our orders. The food came quickly, hot, and tasted amazing. I got the spicy kimche broth with pork belly and tofu, and noodles. This was amazing. The noodles are made in-house, and you can tell. The broth was so flavorful, and yes spicy as I like it. My wife got a cold noodle and chicken dish, which I tasted and would have been very happy with that. I think this may be the best Ramen restaurant in the metropolitan area. Not fancy, kind of what you would find in some town in Japan. You come here for the food, not the ambiance. But I'll take this over fancy surroundings and mediocre food every time. If you love home cooked Ramen done the way it has been done in families for centuries , then go try Tampopo Ramen.

The food was actually very good, which makes the experience even more disappointing because the…read moreservice was absolutely horrible. 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.

Unfortunately this was a disappointment, when I REALLY wanted good hearty ramen... but maybe it…read morewas just an off night OR maybe it was just us. I wasn't in love with the raman broth flavor, which came with pork. The raman ingredients were decent along with the amount; we just weren't impressed over all. We found the mongolian noodles to be incredibly bland. The biggest let down was the "katsu chicken" which were basically chunky chicken strips that came with very little rice and sauce. I think our experience could have possibly been better dining in (I've never seen the place tho) but we ordered thru Uber Eats- spent $70 to throw most the food out. The boba tea was the highlight for me.

Seriously, the ramen portions are no joke--they're huge! The tonkotsu ramen was fine, but the Ramen Time ramen? That one was a hit with its smoky flavor and tons of meat. The noodles were nice and chewy too. We actually got extra noodles, but yeah, you really don't need to with how big their regular bowls are! Oh, and you gotta try the takoyaki, it's really good! Automatically tips added. Really quite on saturday lunch. They serve the food right away but the soup is warm.

Crave-able comfort food at a good price and the staff has been nothing but friendly. The dining room is a little small and their hours are limited so grab a seat when you can!

A neat little ramen shop that offers sushi and more!…read more It was pretty busy when I visited, but my partner and I were greeted and seated right away near a half booth by the door. The music set a fun vibe, and the service was nice and attentive. We ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen ($12.50) and sake bombs with House Sake ($3) and Kirin Light ($7.50). I loved that the sake came in a clear tokkuri. The ramen was soo delicious. I added some chili oil to my broth to give it some spice. The spice is one of those that slowly creeps up on you, but doesn't linger too long. The chashu pork was thin and savory. I usually don't enjoy bean sprouts, but here they were subtle and added a pleasant texture to the ramen. I also love that they included the naruto fish cake. I think what makes this place stand out is that at this price point, quality ramen like this is rare to find nowadays. I would consider this place a hidden gem and definitely recommend it if you are near the area. I look forward to eating it again!

Vegan ramen - tasty, but pricy…read more Tried the vegan ramen here and it was genuinely delicious -- full of flavor and clearly made with care. My main hesitation is the price; it felt a bit steep for what you get. Also, this isn't really a dish that holds up well as leftovers, so keep in mind you'll want to eat it fresh and finish it in one sitting rather than planning on a second meal out of it. Overall, tasty option if you're craving vegan ramen, just budget accordingly and plan to enjoy it all in one go.

I really enjoyed my takeaway from here!…read more I stopped in while I was staying at a hotel in the area to place a to-go order. I didn't see what was I looking for on the machine at the front I asked the woman at the bar if the item was available for takeaway and she assured me it was no problem. She let me place my order on a little handheld screen that made everything SUPER easy. She got me a water that must've had lemon or some other citrus infused in it as it was delicious. I took a few pictures of the cute decor, watched a little bit of the anime playing above the bar and before I knew it she popped back with my food all wrapped up with utensils and all! The food was delicious! I got the Takoyaki which was fantastic, nice crispy outside with a good amount of octopus inside and the Miso Katsu Chicken and added rice and miso soup for a minimal extra cost. I think my total came to like $25 before tip which on Mill you'd be hard pressed to find that kind of price for a full meal and appetizer even at a sandwich shop. Great food, great service, cool atmosphere, I'll definitely be back with friends!
