This very unassuming Japanese restaurant is not fancy. It's a bit quirky on the inside and tight booth style seating. There's a full menu on the wall for you to look at as well as pictures of multiple dishes so you get an idea of what you might be getting if you're unfamiliar with that Japanese food you may want. The woman that took our order was very friendly and helpful. The kitchen looks pretty small but again the restaurant space is pretty small as well.
We ordered Tan Tan ramen, spicy tuna-don volcano style, a California roll, and gyoza. The Tan Tan ramen was pretty good, better than I expected it would be, as it's hard to find this ramen in Tucson that comes anywhere close to the flavor in Japan. The spicy tuna-don volcano style was pretty good as well according to my wife as was the California roll. I think the gyoza was not as good as it could have been but was okay.
As far as the location goes, if you're not using some type of a map you may have a hard time finding it as it's tucked away in the back of a strip mall that is mostly out of business and right next to a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu place. There's plenty of parking since most of the strip mall it's located in is empty.
Everything was DELICIOUS. The best Tankatsu Ramen I've had! I asked them to make it spicy and it hit the spot! The volcano tuna don was so flavorful and fresh also. It's pricey but well worth it! They do take a lunch break from 3-4 so they close.
Oh, I love ramen! 🍜 It's like a warm hug in a bowl. The noodles are perfectly chewy, and the broth is so flavorful! The toppings add a nice touch too. Overall, it's a delicious and comforting meal. 😋👌
Soo good. Found this place via Google cause of the great reviews. Living in Hawaii and going to Japan we are a but picky on food. So this place lived up to its good reviews. We loved it. Will be back for sure. The sukiyaki was so good we ordered one to go too. .
The service was great. As soon as we walked, we were greeted with a smile. The food was okay
I had my first visit as a delivery driver. The food looked and smelled great, prices seem very reasonable, the service is great. A little hidden gem.
This restaurant is wonderful! We stopped by for dinner with my two kids, who are not the most adventurous eaters. They had a ramen bowl, which the staff recommended for them, and loved it! It had lots of pork, amazing broth, and delicious fish cakes. My wife and I had four different sushi rolls, which were outstanding - truly some of the best I have had in Tucson. I highly recommend this place, and plan on coming back many times! A hidden treasure for sure.
While I have never tried real authentic Japanese food, I felt this was the closest I've ever had in Tucson. You order at the register then they bring the food to you. The Hakata Ramen was delicious. It came with one big piece of pork and some pickled ginger. It's usually tough to find takoyaki in Tucson but they have it here on the menu next to the register. It was nice to try and pretty tasty. Just be sure to poke a hole in it first so you don't burn your mouth. All the workers here are super friendly and on top of things. If you're looking for some authentic home style Japanese food in Tucson, you must stop by here.
Love this little place! Food is always good and the service is great!
Great Japanese food. Gone there for many years, so many different memories. You have to know what you're getting there- this isn't a sushi restaurant. They have sushi, but that's not their specialty. They serve more traditional, homestyle Japanese cuisine. Some of the best meals are the combination special, the Japanese curry dishes, and any of the rice bowls. And, obviously, the sushi isn't bad either if you want to complement it with one of your main dishes. It's in the weirdest location though, haha- all the other shops are vacant, yet it's in this massive, largely abandoned shopping center. At this point, they should just call the shopping center, the Samurai Center. Tucson institution!
