Cherryblossom Noodle cafe

I ate here almost a month ago and I’m still thinking about it!! I went with one of my girls on a whim and what a delight, this was the best lowkey heater restaurant we could’ve chosen. We went it a little over two hours before close and that place was popping. We were sat right away at one of the last open tables. Everything was reasonable priced and definitely cooked with love. The Thai tea? Absolute banger, one of my fav Thai teas I’ve had to date. We then started w pan fried dumplings also another hit! I also ordered the spicy salmon roll which was okay but that wasn’t the main event so I wasn’t bothered. Even though we’re at the heat of the summer I ordered the Naruto ramen bowl and Oh. My. God. As I write about it my mouth is watering. The broth was so rich and full of flavor I wanna drown in it. From the pork to the little ramen toppings I was a fan of it all. The best part? It tasted even better the next day when I reheated it!! Our servers name was Lucy and that girl took such great care of us, shout out to Lucy. I cannot wait to go back and try more of the menu!! 4.5/5 stars in my book tbh

This place sounds like a real gem if you're after authentic Japanese food. Forget those watered-down "cafe" versions – they're bringing the real deal. The staff gets a thumbs up for being kind and decent, which always makes a dining experience better. And it sounds like you get your money's worth with delicious food that doesn't break the bank and leaves you feeling satisfied with the portion sizes. You're really digging the Showa era "Yoshokuya" vibe, huh? That's cool – it's always great when a place has a distinct atmosphere. But the real kicker seems to be those authentic Japanese shortcakes. You're right, they can be tough to find around here, so that's a major win for them. Bottom line? You're highly recommending Cherryblossom Noodle Cafe, and it sounds like a spot worth checking out for anyone craving genuine Japanese flavors and a unique, nostalgic feel.

Food is delicious. Various amounts of Ramen, Japanese’s noodles, etc. there are other food items as well. Sushi. Steak. Appetizers. Strawberry lemonade drink was super tasty. I ordered udon noodles which were noodles on the thicker size but very soft texture wise. Shrimps pork etc. desert selection is minimal but from what’s seen looks amazing. Would definitely come back again.

This place is such a GEM! My photos are super low quality because I was not planning on leaving a review, but I was so happy with my experience that I wanted to give Cherryblossom all the stars! The large variety of cuisine/food options had us a bit indecisive at first, but our server, Yuka, was so helpful and kind - she’s the kind of person you want to come back to a restaurant for and become a Regular at! I was in a soup mood and was thinking to do the Ramen, but she gave the best suggestion of the beef hot pot udon, and it did NOT disappoint! it was the decided dinner winner :) The bento box wasn’t on the menu (might be a weekend special? Not sure), but Yuka suggested it as well, and the variety of food, portions, and flavors of each component left us very satisfied! I was not planning on doing dessert, but after seeing the display and learning everything was made in-house, we had to. We opted for the Beautiful berry mousse - so yummy and light! Perfect ending to a lovely dining experience.

My wife had the Udon and stated it was good. I ate the Yakiniku Spicy Korean sliced beef. The food had good flavor but definitely wasn’t gluten-free, rice wasn’t very sticky, so it was hard to use chopsticks. Food was not gluten-free but I guess I wasn’t expecting that when I came to this restaurant. I spent about $110 for a family of 5, three of them were kids kids over the age of 17. Overall, the restaurant was nice and cozy the chairs weren’t comfortable and the table was tiny for someone above 6 foot.

Discovered this hidden gem 🍜✨ Serving up Asian delights like ramen, udon, sushi, AND even Italian classics like chicken parm! I tried the mapo tofu app & katsu bowl — sooo delish, but I gotta say the donkatsu bowl stole my heart ❤️ Located in a cozy plaza with plenty of parking & great service. Definitely worth a visit if you’re craving comfort food with a twist! #HiddenGem

You can find Japanese style food in this place. Service was very good and the food was delicious. I definitely will be back and try more items from the menu.

Food was amazing! Service and atmosphere amazing. The food is super flavorful and the prices are good. Quality food and so good! Definitely will be back!

I'll preface by saying that Cherryblossom noodle Café has food quality that does better than some other restaurants in Phoenix. The California roll was pretty good! I think the ratio of rice to contents was a lot better than other California rolls I've had in the area. The chicken karaage was a dry and had an interesting sauce more water-based, less mayo flavor than Japanese restaurants in Nevada. The miso ramen was fine, but it didn't really taste like miso. It tasted more like a shoyu, quite watery. Staff was really nice though! I had a great experience with them. Plus, the interior felt like a cozy cafe.

The food was definitely 4.5 star worthy. My husband's Japanese champong (not to be confused with Korean jjampong) was 5 star worthy. The special of the day poke bowl was outstanding 5/5. Quality of fish was varied and a quality Japanese rice. The tuna maki was very respectable. Why 4.5 stars? Music was too loud and they need better air extraction for their grill. EXTREMELY courteous service. A real pleasure eating here. We may be back if we're in the area!

I live in Flagstaff and was melting in the mild-for-Phoenix 90F weather, so cold noodles seemed appealing. And while I can make a pretty good tempura soba at home, hiyashi chuka requires specialized skills. So, the hiyashi chuka was very tasty. The noodles were cooked perfectly (albeit not handmade) and appropriately springy while still being refreshingly cold, the chicken and mini-omelette were cooked perfectly, and the cucumber was cut to nicely fit with the noodles. The lettuce was more iceberg-y than I would've liked, so I picked around it. The dressing was a bit overwhelming but tasty. It wasn't transformative, but it hit the spot on a hot day. I don't usually discuss service, but in this case I should note that the server seemed rather overwhelmed and I frequently had to wait--once I finished eating it took my nearly 10 minutes to get my check and another 10 for my card to be run.

The fried salmon sushi and beef curry were both okay. We enjoyed the sizzling Korean bbq beef the most.

Service is great, very attentive. I was not super crazy about my drink but the chicken pad Thai was delicious and I will definitely go back for it.

Thursday night visit, party of four. I had the shrimp pad thai. You do not get the option to pick your spice level, and I thought it was lacking flavor. The California roll was standard. I also tried the Korean spicy beef. It was much more flavorful than the pad thai. The service was pretty quick.

Stopped in for lunch today, finally. Been wanting to come here for years, but it's not really my area. We got a table right inside the door and couldn't really see the rest of the place. So, I can't really comment on the atmosphere. The service was great. Always someone stoping by the table and making sure our drinks were full. I had the Cha Su ramen and it was tasty. Thin slices of beef. plenty of noodles, and the broth was very good. I didn't think about it at the time, but I should have added an egg. I was disappointed that they weren't serving all the lunch specials they have on their online menu. I had already picked out what I wanted, and then had to scramble to make a decision. I hope to get back here soon to try out a pasta dish. I heard afterwards that their sauces are quite good.

Came on a Sunday night, it was fairly busy but for 2 of us, we were seated right away! Our server was friendly and quick with taking our orders & bringing out the app's & entrees. They give you 2 hot fresh garlic bread rolls and they are so tasty. This places has very "homey" vibes and I love how they have slight dim lighting, it really makes you feel like you're at a cozy restaurant. Appetizers we ordered were the shrimp shumai and the gyoza - DELICIOUS on both, can't go wrong! Entrees we ordered the Vegas roll and the Pad Thai with Pork Belly - both were phenomenal & had great taste, my only qualm with the latter is that the pieces of pork belly was all fat no meat, so we almost thought it was like fried tofu or fried eggs..

One of my favorite cafe in Phoenix. I love coming for a bowl of ramen or spicy beef noodles. They have traditional deserts that are super yummy as well. What's even crazier is I've had the same servers for 7 years. Anytime I return to Phoenix, I return here.

Visited on a Saturday night. It wasn't too busy. We got seated right away which was nice. I was a bit confused by the menu when I saw Italian items in the menu. I ordered the Gyoza, it was really good! I asked for chilli oil but they only had a paste. I then ordered chicken yakisoba noodles, they were pretty good. Probably will not be back, I was hoping for more options on the menu.

Had a soup craving as it's not 100 degrees anymore. It was 97 don't @me. ;) Had the tantan which was very spicy as stated and full of flavor. Accompanied that with a Thai iced tea. Great dining experience. Service was fast and helpful in making a decision. Will definitely head back soon.

Consistency is a difficult thing in the food industry. However the few times I've come to Cherryblossom it's always exactly like I remember and that's why my oldest loves it here. She's like her mom in that sense that once she finds something she likes why venture out. Thankful for that being the case once again, quick service with a huge smile, delicious food in a great atmosphere. I've always encouraged my kids to try new places and things but when it comes to this spot I understand why my daughter loves it here

Love love love their sister location right next door however there was little effort in terms of getting anything right or an ounce of warmth and friendliness towards a new customer. My tuna roll was AWFUL, paying $7 bucks for a ratio of 95 percent rice to tiny sliver of tuna in a roll that was sloppy and fell apart felt like throwing my hard earned money out the window. This was worst then supermarket sushi. The double crunchy shrimp roll was a soggy limp mess. The MSG they load into their sauces was absolutely insane as I suffered from MSG poisoning all afternoon. Worst sushi in Phoenix in my opinion. I am sure there is greatness to be found somewhere in this ocean of misses but this place has been cemented into my never again of dining establishments. Note to the owners, try asking your servers to be nice to customers and exude warmthness, it would help at least to make an awful meal much better. I got nothing but dirty looks the whole time I tried to order and my disgusting sushi took 25 mins. These people have no clue whatsoever.

Went here with some friends after work, having my hopes all high as the place came highly recommended. There are a ton of items on the menu, lots of things which I had never heard of before. This is a good place to come eat a meal with some friends.

I stopped by the "Cherryblossom Noodle Cafe", on my way home to get some sushi to go. This Asian Fusion restaurant has a diverse menu featuring Japanese, Korean, and Italian cuisine. They have a nice selection of appetizers, salads, Ramen & rice bowls, Italian pastas, and sushi.They have lunch specials M-F from 11am-2:30pm and dinner till 10pm. I really liked the atmosphere and plan to return with the wife to enjoy their dining experience.

Really good small Japanese restaurant. A lot of people came for food. Popular amongst the local. Service was friendly and prices were very affordable. Would definitely return!

Food meh Service meh Ambiance meh I was recommended here from an employee at Starbucks. I had to drive 20 miles. well, I was disappointed. from the food, service, to the decor, everything was just off. I would not come back if I was in the area.

Quaint little place. Had a variety of dishes and sushi. It all tasted fresh and was worth the stop to celebrate our fiends birthday.

We went there to celebrate my friend's birthday with a group of 15 people. It had been a while since we last visited, and this time we were pleasantly surprised to see that they had expanded their seating area next door. The extra space made our dining experience more comfortable and spacious. When I called to make the reservation, they mentioned that they don't allow outside cakes, but they do offer an option to get a cake from them. I ordered the Champon and found it a bit too salty for my taste. There weren't many noodles in my bowl, but there were plenty of veggies. Interestingly, my friend who ordered the same dish had a different experience with plenty of noodles in their bowl. Maybe they mixed up our orders? Our waitress was truly amazing. She took all of our orders without writing anything down and didn't mess up a single one. It was impressive! In the end, we decided to try one of their cakes, and it was pretty good! The only minor issue was that the cake had been pre-cut into slices, but it wasn't a big deal. Overall, we had a good time at Cherry Blossom, and I'm glad we got to try their cake. It was a fun night out with great company and tasty food.

Oh my goodness I'm so grateful that all of my plans fell through and led me to cherry blossom noodle café! I was absolutely blown away from the moment we walked in and saw all the different desserts on display. The servers were so helpful and gave me all the details and I couldn't decide and told them to surprise me with a dessert as an appetizer they brought the most delicious strawberry shortcake With kiwi on it! When it came to deciding what was for dinner it was definitely a struggle as they have Ramen, sushi, noodle plates, rice, plates, cold noodles, and even Italian food ha ha. I decided to go with something more traditional to see their rendition on the plate. The yakisoba noodles with pork belly was the perfect choice. The entire plate was so tremendously full of flavor and not overbearing. Not too salty. And was enough food to take home and surprise my husband with. My friend enjoyed the Ramen, which again was a plentiful amount of food, and the chicken was cooked perfectly! I am so excited to bring family members from out of town here as a new, "must see ", spot.

This is a family favorite because of the wide range of dishes - they have sushi which my kids love (and it's high quality with a big selection), Japanese noodle dishes which I love, and Italian for my husband. Plus incredible dessert selections. Such a neat combination of things, and always excellent. Service is very friendly and helpful. It's a cute little cafe and can get crowded at dinner time but we've had good luck at lunch getting in and out fairly quickly. I highly recommend the "very spicy wontons" on the appetizer menu. Spoiler alert - they are not VERY spicy, only pleasantly so. I also really loved the cold buckwheat noodles with tempura. Perfect food for hot weather. Such a charming little place - we're lucky to have it in the sea of chain restaurants :)

We found this place about 9 years back. My favs here are the HAKATA RAMEN, Strawberry Punch, and Double Crunch Shrimp Roll.. you have to try them!... The ramen here tastes JUST LIKE THE RAMEN IN JAPAN. We got to compare broth flavors when we visited Tokyo, and I have not found any other place in Arizona or LA that has the same flavor as they did back in Japan. I love this place! We got all of our friends to love it here as well!

Been here a handful of times and I'll be honest with you, I get the the ramen every time lol. It's a decent sized portion (I personally have never been able to finish it), great price and most importantly it's delicious. There's a couple different types so it's fun to switch it up with each visit. I've also tried some of the appetizers which are delicious! I love the edamame, pot stickers and their spicy tuna roll... Maybe that's why I can't finish the ramen... Regardless, it's always easy to walk in and not expect much of a wait which is always a big plus. One of my favorite places to go when I'm craving ramen!

I've been coming here for four years now and it's sometimes a hit or miss with the food that I get I get the exact same thing every single time I never really changed it. It's always the buckwheat cold noodles called the zaru soba noodles and sometimes they're undercooked or overcooked and when I went in today it was pretty undercooked. I got a bunch of crunchy pieces which was pretty surprising and there wasn't even that big of a crowd, so I'm like why aren't you guys cooking everything correctly especially my dish. It's super easy. All you have to do is cook the noodles and then blanch them so they're cold. That's it, aside from that I've always enjoyed everything else I've gotten from them. All of their appetizers are amazing and I always recommend their Gyoza. It's good either way pan fried or the soup spicy version

Delicious spicy ramen, dumplings and sushi! Impeccable service The ambiance was also very soothing, and the place is very clean!

In our travels, we always crave asian food after eating American food for every meal. So to finish off our trip in AZ, we decided to munch on some Japanese food and Cherryblossom came up. Tekka Don - tuna sashimi bowl with sushi rice. It wasn't the best tuna sashimi bowl I had but it was still good. I was hoping for warmer sushi rice. Kitsune udon - very delicious udon and soup. It definitely hits the spot on a cool day. Service: pretty good and fast considering how busy it was.

Came by on a Friday night and it was really busy. Got here at 6:45pm and was seated promptly. The layout of the restaurant is a bit strange - there are hallways where you cannot see your server so if you want to call them over you cant wave since there is a wall between hallway seating and the main dining area. Food was OK but service was reeeaallly slow so we were disappointed. Ordered the neopolitan pasta (pretty good), rainbow roll, and dragon roll. Sushis were fine. Took us awhile to get our check, have our waiter take our card, and return. We ended up leaving at 8:45pm when we initially wanted a quick and light dinner.

Went for lunch and had a spicy salmon cut roll and the chashu ramen. The salmon roll was amazing. The broth of the ramen was really good, the noodles were ok, the chashu wasn't the best. Didn't taste seasoned much. Their prices are so so good. I didn't try any of their desserts but they looked really good. Can't wait to return to try their udon.

We called to see if the bad server was working about 3 times and a couple weeks ago we were told he had been let go. We were both so excited! Tokyo Express and Cherry blossom café has been a family staple since it was on East Thomas. We both had pork ramen. Was super good, California roll, and dessert which they bring in from a local bakery. Strawberry Shortcake. We loved our waitress, So glad to hear the mean server moved on. We have been back for the rice bowl already. Two people under twenty bucks for most bowls and a salad.

Been coming here for many years. Food n service are excellent. Recently, just start ordering pasta. Never knew Japanese pasta can b so good.

This became my favorite pho spot, food was so so good! Service was great, spot was absolutely nice, my husband and I were i loved! Highly recommended!

The restaurant is cozy, and seems to be a popular date night spot with the locals. The food was subpar though. The tonkotsu tasted fine, albeit a ton of white pepper, and the beef nanban udon was really good, but I felt like the flavour was just missing one thing. The udon was a decent size, and I felt really full coming out of the restaurant. We also ordered the chicken kaarage, and I would recommend skipping that. The chicken pieces come out pretty small, and for $9, I'd recommend trying a different appetizer altogether. Someone ordered what looked like a bento box, and that looked impressive, but I can't speak for the taste. While the restaurant was busy, the service wasn't great. It felt like our waiter was busy trying to rush is out of the restaurant. We asked for (more) water, but not totally sure if he had heard us since he walked away so quickly, and came back with the bill instead. He did walk away and come back with water after that, but it was just kind of awkward since we weren't even done eating yet to have the bill without asking for it.

Great selection of sushi and noodles. I had the Korean beef and it was amazing! Our server was attentive and kept our tea and waters full. Came in for lunch and the Ambiance was quiet and comforting,

Beside the fact that they no set in the waiting room. I ask if they was popcorn and I went inside to ask for some and the guys that were in there said they will make some shortly I waiting about 5 to 10 minutes no one started the popcorn so I went back outside to set and wait were I saw sale man Clerk, he saw that I came back with out popcorn and kinda disappointed look on my face. He offered me a slice of apple and then we went inside and he made me some popcorn :) I want to thank him for taking the time out of his lunch hour to make popcorn for me. It might not seem like a lot but I love waiting room popcorn

It's been awhile since I have been to Cherryblossoms Noodle Cafe. My favorite dish is the Japanese comfort food oyakudon. They make it really well. Also, they have happy hour; they have certain rolls on the happy hour menu. Do not skip the dessert in their dessert case. They have a good variety. Can't wait to go back and check out their menu for new favorites. The service is good. The ambiance is great. The place is welcoming.

I love this place. There is such a variety of food for every person's palate. We had Sushi, and I think our friends had the special. We also had one of their desserts. It's such a cute place and the service is quick.

Came here with a group of friends and we were very pleased and will definitely be coming back!! We started off with the spicy gyoza, it was very delicious and had a great amount of spice! I then had the Napoiltan, I was somewhat disappointed because it was basically a spaghetti but just a fancy word. However, our service and the ambience of restaurant felt like we were in NYC. We also had dessert and it was great!

If you want to get a good Asian fix, come to this restaurant! We ordered their nigiri set, chicken Katsu curry, and champon. Sushi there is not great so you can skip that but their curry was really good! I haven't been to any restaurants in Arizona where they sell japanese champon so I was very surprised to see that on their menu. I was hesitant to order it at first but I was so happy that I did! It tasted really good! The restaurant is pretty big so service was a bit slow and it was hard to get our waiters attention. It's a bit dark inside but a clean restaurant to go to. I have not tried their Italian foods yet but it looks pretty decent from what I've seen from other people ordering. I'm sure I'll be back soon!

Their food is delicious. I had an item from their special menu and it was cooked perfectly with the right seasoning and it was still moist. It was a salmon dish. I went with one of my very best friends. We were seated at a table near the window. It must be a very popular spot. A couple came in after us and we were asked to move because the couple wanted to sit there. I guess it must have some special significance to them. The waitress helped us move our food. Otherwise, the restaurant didn't seem too busy. I know that this place is popular among my friends, especially the ones who live close to the area. On Sundays, the place is often quite busy. The parking lot is a bit small. I wish it was larger. But maybe that would draw larger crowds and I don't think the inside of the restaurant could accommodate that.

This must be a favored place because it was packed on a Sunday evening. The staff were hustling and bustling and not very attentive. I had to keep reminding our waitress for items. The soup was okay, but I've had better. The edamame was overly prepared. Parking can be a pain as this appears to be the spot! The are several other restaurants and shops in the plaza.

Traveling to phoenix for a concert and wanted to try something new before we headed home. This place had good reviews and food looked very good. I got the Korean beef noodles and my boyfriend got something that looked good but can't remember the name, lol. All food was absolutely delicious, my boyfriend cleaned his plain CLEAN. Atmosphere was comfortable as you walk in. Service was good, she checked on us here and there where it wasn't constant.definitely recommend if you live in Phoenix :)

Very cute spot and aesthetic cake is delicious 10/10 recommend, ramen is pretty good as well best I've tried so far! would come here again, if your in the area looking for a cute spot this is definitely somewhere to try out, they also have options of cocktails, wine, and soku pretty cool spot! Customer service at a 10 as well, thank you for the experience! :)

1/13/24: quick review - would we go back? Yes. Good ambience and flavorful food. Nice service, cute decor, if a bit cramped. Not so quick review: stopped in around 4 o'clock. The first thing I noticed was the parking was cramped & scarce. There is parking in the back (north side) but it is one way heading west to east. We ended up parking on the street on the other side of the their north wall. I was not going to chance my new car in that lot. Even at 4:00 is was already pretty hopping with customers. Despite that, we were seated right away, and our server (Lucia) came over quickly for our drink order. Three of us were seated at a table for four; if there were four of us, I think we would have been overly crowded, especially when four meals/drinks/desserts. Our food order was taken shortly after (not a long wait time w/ Lucia!). I did order a beef & noodle dinner. Yet because I had changed my mind so many times, when the chicken & rice was set in front of me, I failed to remember I had ordered beef! My sister pointed it out; after we all had a good laugh, Lucia offered to take it off our ticket (she didn't, but I had already started to eat it). Ha ha ha. It was all right, but really not much flavor; I definitely think the beef would have been better -- and now we have a reason to return. The gals w/ me all enjoyed their food and beverages as well. The green tea cake was all right (reminded me of tiramisu in its composition) and I think it had red beans in it (which I love) but I would not order that again. I would opt for another dessert, which is on full display at the front of the restaurant. All in all a nice place, hot food, friendly and attentive staff.

I stopped in to place a take out order. Looking around the dining space is quaint and small and is decorated with some interesting flare. The service was pleasant and welcoming. I will say there isn't a spot to sit if you're waiting on take out. I got an order of veg tempura and the ramen tantan-men. The take out dish for the ramen was cool as it separated the noodle from the broth. The flavor was good, spicy as expected. The veg tempura had a nice mix of different vegs but the crispy tempura softened in the enclosed container for take out. I think I will try again and dine in.

Food was good. Service was great. Ambience was right on the mark. It's probably been 10 years ago since I've been there. Just haven't had a chance to go back. However, several of my friends have been there in the last year or so and they've really really enjoyed it also.

We love this place! The vibe is immaculate and the food is delicious. I love the katsudon and the kitsune udon!! Prices are super decent and make eating out fun and less stressful.

If you come for one thing, come for the ika mentai. For seafood lovers, it's the ultimate fusion dish that will set this restaurant apart. I've eaten at Cherryblossom countless times for two key reasons: First, its menu is massive, and pretty much anyone can find something they like -- sushi, Italian food, udon, rice dishes, etc. Second, when I lived in the area, it was one of very few ramen choices. It may not be the best ramen spot ever, but Cherryblossom has always been consistent and decent in my experience. Now that I live in an area with stellar ramen, I decided to give a unique menu item a try: ika mentai. It's a creamy pasta made with slightly spicy roe, and the flavor is incredible! It's also topped with squid and baby octopus, which I'm not usually the biggest fan of, but they make the seafood SO tender and flavorful here. The price was also very fair -- it's something that would be $20+ at an Italian restaurant, but it was around $16 here. The primavera pasta was also surprisingly flavorful, topped with bok choy and mushrooms for a bit of a fusion take on the dish. It's a great choice for vegetarians -- thanks to our kind server for suggesting it! (As an aside, I've personally never had bad service here.) I was really pleasantly surprised to have such a great experience here this time. And it's great that they've opened another section of seating since the last time I dined here. I might go out of my way to return next time!

The noodles here are always so delicious. The interior is beautiful but a bit on the tight side. The portion sizes are generous and the servers are always so kind.

Looking for sushi and japanese dishes, this place satisfied. We started with the spicy gyoza which is served in a spicy broth. Very good! Its the broth that is spicy, not the gyoza. We also shared the spicy tuna roll and the typhoon roll (spicy tuna and tempura shrimp roll), both were very good but we liked the typhoon roll better for the crunch of the tempura. Lots of good variety of dishes, very friendly staff. Very quiet on a weeknight. Would definitely come back again.
