Cute little spot with delicious food and great service. I typically order the Ramen and a sushi roll or an app. They have alcohol too :)

Overall a good restaurant. Walked in and no wait for a table. Service was really good. I got the spicy tuna roll and tonkotsu ramen. Really enjoyed the spicy tuna roll would recommend. The ramen was good as well only thing was the broth is a little too salty but other than that no complaints.

I tagged along with my roommate when he went to Fallout Games in the same plaza. I was getting hungry, but we were on a bit of a time crunch. Ramen Dozo to the rescue. I walked a few doors down, got us a to-go order and we were on our way. Between us, we got the gyudon & the salmon bento box. I was able to sample my roomie's food so I can comment on it all. It was wonderful! The gyudon brought back memories since I grew up in CA and there was a Yoshinoya around every corner. The salmon box was supposed to come with soup & salad, but I assume they modified it since it was take out. Instead of soup, I got a little sesame ball. I'm was fine with that. The lady was nice and greeted me as soon as I walked in. She did quoted me a 15 min wait for my order, and that's about what it ran. Although she didn't mention anything about the substitution, I'm not broken hearted about it. It would have been nice if she said something before I discovered it at home, but no biggie. Honestly it is because I do like those sesame balls and I would've ordered more than one. I didn't see them on the menu.

It's a traditional Japanese restaurant (I lived in Japan for 2 years) with a great menu. The only things that got it a 4 instead of 5 stars is the food is sometimes a little oily and it tastes like vegetable oil (not overwhelming but still detracts), the salmon is farmed, and they don't have Japanese curry . The curry is a personal favorite (only reason I really mentioned it). As far as the restaurant itself: Service: they are pretty busy so order early, whether dining in or out. The people are always nice. Ambiance: it's quiet and open so it's a great place to have a lunch/dinner meeting or a date.

Hands down the best ramen I've had in the East Valley. My go to order is the Spicy Miso Ramen with Tofu. The broth is rich and flavorful. They also have a spicy chili oil that can pack some extra heat. You can taste that they have taken the time to prepare the broth over time. And you can't beat the price for the type of quality you receive in a bowl of ramen here. I'm always greeted by the friendly waitresses and they remembered my boyfriend and my orders. That's how frequent we love coming here during the cooler months. When you're in the mood for a quality bowl of ramen, this place will provide you with that.

We were craving some saimin on a cold, rainy day and stumbled upon this place after many great reviews! I'm so glad we stopped here. I'm pretty sensitive to salty foods and I was impressed by the shoyu ramen and how nice the flavor was. Not too salty and I'm glad I chose the pork! The additions they include were great...I just wish we could've gotten more fish cake!! I love squid and the geso karaage was actually really good! I will be getting both of these again. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and got to pick our table. We came in around 6 pm on a Monday night and there was more than enough seating options. Our server asked if we had been in before and was happy to provide more info if we had questions. They got busy with dine-in customers as we were eating and they were also getting a lot of phone calls for to-go orders. The private parking lot is very spacious and there are no problems with parking. I definitely want to come back and try other things on the menu. Donburi, sushi, other flavors of ramen, etc.

4 stars because I get to go orders so I don't know how they are for sit down. They have about 8 tables inside and they were full. Their broths are flavorful and staff explains all options if you're new to their establishment. Huge portions lots of noodles I do wish there was more protein in the order. It seems like a lot of places have increased the amount of empty carbs in meals to offset the more expensive proteins.
