"The Tokyo-based ramen chain, founded in 2005 by ramen master Tomoharu Shono, has opened a second Valley location after a successful Mesa debut. Known for attracting lines wherever it lands, the restaurant emphasizes “farm-to-bowl” ramen with seasonal ingredients and house-made wheat noodles. The new Midtown menu expands with three bowls: A5 Wagyu Truffle Cheese Shoyu, A5 Wagyu Lobster Miso Butter, and Vegan Tantanmen — expect a wait, but it's worth it." - McConnell Quinn
