Ramen Time

By far the best Ramen in AZ. I've tried alot of different places searching for a broth that reminds me of the good spots of California like Silver Lake Ramen, Chibiscus, and others famous from the SoCal area. Ramen Time is the only place I've had in AZ that is even remotely close to the amazing flavors. Would recommend the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu.

An intimate interior with a kind staff and some REALLY great Ramen! We ordered Takoyaki that came out piping hot (temperature; let it cool a bit first!) but FULL of flavor. Ramen was hearty and portions were large. As it was my very first time having "traditional" Ramen I don't have much to compare it to but I was extremely impressed! The Fruit Green Tea was refreshing and felt perfect to take the edge off the warm dishes. There was quite a variety and having tried both the Peach and Mango, I would recommend the Mango. There are several other flavors to choose from and will have fun ordering others in the future. The dining area was a bit warm, but bearable. I would suggest going when the weather isn't too hot or when the sun sets.

I enjoyed my meal at Ramen Time. I got the Curry Udon and it was temperature hot and delicious. It's difficult to find the traditional Japanese curry udon with the stew like consistency. The one here is a regular ramen broth consistency but the flavor had delicious curry notes. Other than the chicken broth it would also have been vegetarian since it had tofu and soft cooked egg as proteins. There is a veg ramen option here though if meat broths aren't your thing. The scallion, red bell pepper and other veg in it were fresh and good. The service was quick and friendly and thankfully the dining area is back open here finally as it had been closed even after the pandemic. The atmosphere was clean but the TV's weren't turned on and I don't think there was any music. Overall a good place to grab a lunch or takeout.

Update 08/2022: Dining room is back open finally! Food is still amazing. Tonkatsu ramen is heaven! The broth is silky smooth, with a great flavor and the eggs are the correct marinated soft boiled eggs. Authentic. Katsu pork is crispy and delicious. My friend loves their curry udon. Price is very fair and portions are great. Local mom and pop shop beats them all for me.
