Ramen Kagawa

Absolutely cannot say enough about the ramen. It was delicious and I will definitely be going back. The atmosphere was also very relaxed and comfortable. Prices are fair, for two people we spent 55 with tip.

I really enjoy ramen and as a result, I am always on the hunt for ramen recommendations. i've been to this place a couple of times with friends and it never, ever disappoints. I had the creamy vegetarian ramen and it was so delicious. Even my carnivore boyfriend was jealous and kept asking for bites (he got the tonkotsu and he said he enjoyed it as well). The service is great and I highly recommend asking for a soft boiled egg. They're cold, keep that in mind! But oh my god, so good. I highly recommend this place, its my 2nd favorite ramen shop of ALL time.

Friends and I wanted to try this place after first day of Phoenix Fan Fusion, wait time was 20 mins which wasn't bad, we sat down, got drinks (I got the matcha ipa, very good for a beer), we all got ramen and I got the matcha tiramisu, got our food very quickly and was very good, checked on us constantly to make sure all was good. Definitely would recommend coming back and eating there again next time were up there.

Service was great. Server was friendly and nice. Food was not good at all. Ramen was too salty, eggs were cold, meat did not taste fresh, noodles were cheap. Waitress did ask if they could remake it which I appreciated, but I didn’t enjoy the taste at all. Couldn’t even drink few spoons of the ramen soup unfortunately.

Probably gonna be my go to place for takoyaki and curry. The katsu was perfectly crispy and the potatoes in the curry were boiled to perfection. Unfortunately they no longer had the wagyu beef ramen. The service was very friendly and our food came fairly quickly. Also if you're an anime fan, they have some anime decor, but otherwise the atmosphere is very relaxed and cozy. For the two of us, it came out to about $67, with an appetizer, drink, main course (I had the katsu curry, my partner had the tonkatsu ramen with a few add-ons) and my partner got dessert. Definitely would recommend for a casual ramen or curry lunch.

The broth was second to none. This is probably the best ramen I've had in town. The portions are great, prices are great...also really cool art on the walls for anime lovers.

Amazing, and I mean amazing food! Can’t beat the prices and how quick they are. Will be definitely be going back!

Yeah I might have gone four days in a row because I love the Ramen so much. The food was great. Honestly if I live near downtown I might find myself walking in there every every day. It's a good thing I don't because I don't need to go broke eating out every night. So yeah it's a place anytime I'm downtown I'm going to stop by

I took my nieces to eat ramen, Our waitress was very friendly and immediately attended to us. The ambiance is spacious and the music sets the vibe, located in downtown it was a great experience. The Sake bombs are delicious.

I'll break down the pros and cons into three categories. Atmosphere: The restaurant has an industrial feel with the exposed cement walls and air ducts. Seating is setup bar style high tops and individual tables. Jazz music pipes through the speakers. Pros: quaint and nicely decorated in an Asian flair. Cons: during the cold weather, separation between the tables and front door would keep the cold air from hitting you while eating. Service: Fast and Friendly. The noodles are not from dry so they serve up really quick. Pros: fast and friendly service. Cons: observed one server during lunch. She was great put could probably use the help. Food: various options for Ramen from meat based to vegetarian. I recommend the Tonkatsu. It's a pork base soup with the option for added toppings like a boiled egg. Pros: traditional Japanese ramen full of great flavor. Cons: unfortunately due to shrink-flation, the amount of noodles has reduced from when I first started eating here. Overall: if you are looking for a favorable lunch at less than $20, then Ramen Kagawa 's is a great option, especially on colder days.

I loveee Ramen Kagawa!! It is my all time favorite ramen place and it is the only one I've found that has spicy chicken broth (I don't eat pork). The service is quick as you pay at the front and don't really need to wait for a waiter. The ambiance is cute and sometimes they have events sometimes. Giving 4 stars cause if I remember correctly, they got rid of the chicken broth and I have to get the miso now:/ The food can sometimes be cold but as only happened once. Will definitely be back soon

We ordered ramen from this place by door dash. I had the classic miso Tonkotsu ramen and my husband tried the spicy version. It was delicious. The broth came seperate from the rest of the soup. We also ordered a side of pork buns which were very yummy too! I look forward to eating here in person sometime.

Went here on lunch with some work colleagues. Service was friendly and pretty quick. My Raman was delicious. It's sort of community seating but the prices are reasonable and it's definitely a good spot for lunch.

They've really improved their menu and service! They now have amazing hand rolls (which they call sushi tacos). The seaweed wrap was crispy. We got spicy tuna, salmon, scallop, and shrimp tempura - all fresh and declicious! Their curry was as good as always, and they've removed the katsu don I wasn't a fan of in my last review. Service was great, and the entire crew is Japanese. Note that the last seating and orders are taken 15 minutes before closing time.

It was NOT the best ramen I've ever had. But, it was exactly what we were looking for. Great service. Tasty ramen. My wife loved the vegetarian ramen. Also, get the spicy red paste. It's not crazy hot but adds a nice little extra. And a surprise edamame and Sapporo $5 happy hour price!!!! Definitely check it out!!

The ramen is so freaken good here!! We ordered the Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen. I highly recommend it!!

I really wanted to try out the recently opened Sushi Kagawa today and was sad to see that it had already closed (due to an issue with the lease!), but their instagram pointed me to check out the original Kagawa restaurant downtown, Kagawa ramen. This place has literally been on my saved places list but I have never been able to make it over to check it out. Today was the perfect opportunity. I was in a sushi mood, so I tried 3 of their sushi tacos (scallop, spicy tuna, and salmon). The scallop taco had beautifully seared scallop on top. The salmon one had salmon roe on top. These two were my favorites. The tuna one tastes like canned tuna in a homemade spicy mayo sauce. I was quite full from the sushi, so I didn't order any ramen, though my husband ordered the spicy miso ramen and said it was very good.

Really great broth with strong flavor. Even the spicy one you could still taste the miso and the spice was not too overpowering. The noodles had good consistency as well. For toppings, the pork was kind of lean for my taste and keep in mind it does not come with an egg.

Really delicious! My husband and I let our son pick out the restaurant for our 16th anniversary and he chose this spot as it had ramen and was anime-themed. I say anime like it's a huge thing here but really, it's just some added decoration on the walls. It's not overpowering anime culture here, and that's fine. It's just fun to see as an added perk. Sort of like insight into what the owners might enjoy in their free time which also happens to work with the Japanese restaurant. It's cute! The food itself comes out hot and fresh. And it's really delicious. I've had ramen in quite a few restaurants around the world. While I wouldn't say this is the best I've ever had, it's pretty good. The atmosphere is great, the staff is superbly friendly, and it's incredibly clean. We'd definitely come here again. The pork is soooo soft and melts in your mouth. Absolutely love it!

This is my favorite spot to get ramen downtown, not that there are too many. Everything I've had has been good. I like the spiciness of the habanero miso ramen, but also the vegetable ramen is really good. It has a smooth and creamy broth with a delicious nuttiness from the sesame paste. I also always add an egg to whichever one I get. The fried gyoza is also delicious and usually what I get as an appetizer.

Great food and friendly service. I had the spicy miso pork ramen + an egg and with a Sapporo. My partner ordered the fried chicken app and pork/rice dish with a Sapporo and a shochu. We were restricted with time because we were headed to a show, but everything came out quick, fresh, hot and well seasoned. As far as ambiance- I wouldn't mind a bit more attention to detail, but that definitely won't stop me from coming back.

Wow that was good ramen! Will definitely come back. Recommend. Ordered the hakata tonkotsu ramen..

Walking distance from our hotel! Like a ramen place in Tokyo, not fancy but inviting ambiance this place had. We sat on a long table in the middle. Soon a friendly server came, gave us laminated menu and got drink orders. I ordered 2 happy hour things. Dumpling with Sapporo $5, another appetizer takoyaki with Sapporo $5. Food came fast and tasty. Spicy miso was a bit salty. My kids couldn't finish their ramen. Overall good place.

I visit Phoenix for work often. I always make sure to stop in at least once while I'm in town. Amazing food. Fast and friendly service. I had the Hakata Tonkotsu ramen with the Karaage (fried chicken) on the side. Never disappoints. If you are ever in town, stop in and try this place.

Arrived for lunch with my cousin before the Cardinals game. Since it was located downtown, we had to pay for parking. We were seated quickly. I got the karaage for starters and glad I did! Super crunchy and filling. Not over battered. Next I got the Tokyo ramen which came with chicken, cabbage, fish cake and onions. The broth and chicken was ok-nothing memorable. However very filling and generous with the meat. The noodles were great! Probably my favorite out of the whole dish. I was disappointed that you have to pay extra for eggs. Most ramen places I've been to already have it added in. I got to try the gyozas as well and they were also a hit! Service was great! Nice, quiet but got busy when we left.

This is only 4 stars if you never had real ramen. The toppings were ice cold, which made the broth lukewarm and impacted the flavor of the broth. The chicken was also bland and dry, like overcooked Hainan chicken. Egg was cooked to the right consistency with half runny yolk, but again, it was ice cold and took away from the flavor.

Place on not bad but not great wouldn't be my first choice but it's close to work eggs were cold pork was extra charred favor was good but not great all in all gets a 7 out of 10

I've been here several times and it doesn't disappoint. I was seated quickly and service was quick. The gyoza were crispy and delicious. My vegetarian ramen was delightful. The broth had such a depth of flavor and the noodles still had a bite to them. My favorite ramen place downtown. I will definitely be back.

Visiting Phoenix and decided to pick a close by spot near Sky Harbor. Katsu curry was flavorful! Sauce was on the thicker side, but portion was big and the vibes were great! Decorated with some classic anime characters like goku, naruto, luffy, eating ramen!

Good is decent, vibe and place are cool. habanero definitely adds flavour to the ramen

The place was inviting as soon as we walked in. It is casual, friendly, kind of a Japanese kitsch in a way but it worked. It is clean and the spacing is proper so you don't feel cramped. A friendly hostess told us to sit where we liked and then provided water, menus and eventually took our order. I've not eaten ramen before but I was told it is a bit like a cousin of pho, which I eat often so I gladly tried it. We both ordered Hokkaido Miso Ramen and I had an egg and a bit of pork added. I found the broth not entirely to my liking as it was a bit to buttery and thick for my taste. It was good but I wouldn't order it again. It is a pork broth so next time maybe a chicken broth will be better. The presentation was fine and the noodles, egg, pork, everything was well prepared and tasty so no negatives on taste at all from my view. The bill was reasonable so I will be back to try a different offering in the future.

Chicken in the ramen is inedible, so extremely fatty. Otherwise, dishes were ok. No sauce for the fried chicken appetizer. When asked for soy sauce we got a tiny amount instead of a bottle. It's a sit-yourself place. Things could be better here.

Visiting amazing ramen bars like Ramen Kagawa makes us wish there were more of them! We shared the pork buns and the regular tonkotsu ramen, and both of them were wonderful. Easily some of the best ramen we've ever had! The interior had very cool decorations and our server was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be going back next time we're in Phoenix!

I don't have much experience with ramen restaurants, but I absolutely loved my dinner at Ramen Kagaea. Excellent flavors. Perfect portions. Staff was perfectly attentive. Highly recommend.

Very very yummy food!! Another must try if your out here in phoenix! Service was amazing. Food came out quickly! Very clean facility. Your basically in and out with good service.

The Habanero ramen was incredible and definitely a must for spicy food lovers! The cashier at the front was very respectful and helpful.

We were near the Convention Center without a car and had a hankering for Asian style noodles and headed here. It met our craving and was fine but not amazing. The restaurant was very busy but the wait staff was appropriately attentive. Let's start with the best: * Hokkaido Miso Ramen - 4/5. The butter added a richness to the broth that put this over the top. My son also liked that the pork wasn't very fatty. * Green tea cheesecake. 3/5. I think they should just call this a green cheesecake. It's a nice cheesecake with good creamy texture. But you only get the matcha taste in the after taste. * Seaweed Salad - 3/5. Pretty standard seaweed salad. * Tokyo Shoyu Ramen - 2/5. Disappointing. The broth tasted primarily of salt and the chicken pieces were really big. I'd recommend that they chop up the chicken into bite sized pieces.

I'm glad I didn't drive out here specifically for this...ordered the spicy miso and added corn. When the server set the bowl down it had steam coming from it, but the corn and cabbage was cold, like it just came out the refrigerator. It was very much meh, but the server was pleasant. Won't be back but glad I tried.

We dined here for my birthday recently and we were greeted by the most friendly server when we walked in. She was our server and also running the front whole front of house - and she did it all amazingly! I was impressed. I ordered the Tonkotsu pork ramen (I always add an extra egg) and it was SOOOOO GOOD 11/10! One thing to note is their eggs are served cold due to how they are prepared and stored which was a little different than what I prefer but they warmed up a little after mixing with the broth. I do wish the broth overall came out hotter. My husband and I like to normally let the everything to sit for a bit in the super hot broth but the ramen here came out warm so we ate it right away. The ambiance is very inviting and we love that it's a small restaurant! The reason this got 4 stars instead of 5- Not sure if this is a normal thing to do these days with all of the to go orders, but the chefs microwaved the to go food right before the delivery guy came to get it haha. We hate hearing a microwave when we are eating at a restaurant.

Our fav Ramen in the valley! We've been coming here for 3.5 years and love it everytime :)

This ramen place was just around the corner from our hotel, and although I couldn't fathom eating hot ramen on this freaking hot summer day in June, hubs and kiddo were craving some noodles. We initially walked by before the end of their lunch hours (11:00a-3:00p), but heck, it's 100+ degrees outside...I just couldn't go in there to eat something even hotter. So we decided to come here later for dinner, because it was a few degrees lower *sarcasm* (dinner hours 5:00p-9:00p, closed Mondays). It was a Saturday, and we arrived around 5:45p. It was maybe 1/3 full, and we were told to just sit where ever. We ordered karaage ($7.50) and gyoza ($7.50) for starters, then the Tokyo shoyu ramen ($13.00), Hokkaido miso ramen ($14.00), and croquette curry ($13.00). The karaage and gyoza were good. The karaage came with 3 pieces, and had a sweet shoyu flavor. The gyoza was house made. The curry was sweet and had a nostalgic flavor, like the showa era (1926-1989) curry. Surprisingly, my shoyu ramen also had a sweetness in the broth, and some of the toppings were still cold. Also, the overall ramen temperature wasn't as hot as I'm accustomed to. Not sure if this is the case during summer months or if it's like this year round. This is supposedly authentic ramen from Japan, so I was a bit disappointed. Everything (except for the gyoza) had a sweet base, which for ramen is weird to me, but maybe it's an Arizona thing? I dunno. Service was also strange...there were 2 or 3 young girls, maybe college age? One who mainly served us was nice and took our order, but then she just almost tossed our first dish on the table without saying anything and left. She also gave us the wrong gyoza order and took it away later after making sure we didn't touch it. At times the girls were busy talking to each other. Also, the curry came with a fork...so we asked for a spoon and the owner (manager? head chef?) looked confused. I thought he was Japanese so that he'd understand, but maybe he wasn't.

Very good ramen, great service, roomy atmosphere. Not loud & obnoxious & not quiet like a library just a good mixture between the two making a great atmosphere. Also great prices some ramen restaurants charge a ridiculous price for a bowl of noodles.

Service and staff were great and friendly! The ambience was very low-key and authentic. Ramen was exceptional! Very delicious. Only miss was the Takoyaki

Very attentive server, fun vibe and good food. We were in a rush and the food came out super quick!

When my wife asks me what we're eating tonight and I reply "THE RAMEN SPOT" this is the spot I'm referring to ! Has never disappointed in the 3 years I've come here! Spicy Chicken Miso Ramen add corn and an egg. Prices are excellent! Staff is always on it. I'd recommend this place to Keith Lee!

We came here to eat mainly for the fact that there is an ELMAC mural on the outside of the building. The food and service were both mediocre. I had the tonkastu ramen which lacked actual broth flavor but was too salty. It also had no corn which you have to add for an additional price, & the cabbage that was in the ramen was old & hard. My brother ordered the classic curry which tasted like it was out of a can, not authentic at all. My cousin ordered the chicken karaage which was plain with no sauce at all. Usually it is drizzled in sauce or served with sauce on the side. When asking the server for some sauce she said they had none to offer that goes with that dish. We sat with empty water cups for a while as well, the service was not attentive at all. I don't necessarily reccomend this place unless you really love ramen & have no other place to go to.

I recently moved to Phoenix and needed to find a new ramen spot. The location is easy to find and lots of parking/public transportation. The inside of the restaurant was very nice too along with the employees. Unfortunately the food was AWFUL. The chicken was undercooked and did not have any flavor, the bamboo was not cooked so you couldn't even bite into it, and the cabbage looked and tasted just awful. Also to note that that's all the vegetables you get in the ramen. The only good part was the noodles and egg. We honestly took a few bites and were done - this is not how ramen should look or taste! I did end up getting VERY sick from this food so I'm glad I didn't eat more than I did Super unfortunate

This restaurant has had its ups and downs. The vegetarian ramen used to be good, got steadily worse, then has recently improved again. At one point the tofu was just lumps of cold uncooked, unseasoned mush and the only vegetable in it was cabbage. Now they have sweet potato instead of tofu and include corn, which is an improvement. Their sister restaurant Kaisen used to include a lot more sweet potato, so I know they're skimping on me. Soft boiled eggs should also be included in ramen, as is traditional. Charging $2 for it isn't cool. Overall, though, the broth is great, and the flavor is usually on point.

Their ramen noodles and curries are AMAZING! Highly recommend coming here if you ever want to eat ramen. I had their pork cutlet curry and their spicy miso tonkotsu ramen....SO DELICIOUS!

10/10!! Omg the food was amazing. I had the potstickers, edamame, and spicy miso ramen and it was delicious!

The food here is spectacular and the service is always warm and welcoming. A small ramen bar in the heart of Downtown Phoenix, if you like anime you'll love the decor - if not, don't let that steer you away. This place has the best Ramen in Phoenix, consistently. Second only to Mensho, skip Jinya by coming here and you will not be disappointed.

Rejected from sitting outside because the waitress didn't want to do her job of wiping it down, so she couldn't call it "open". She then told me to get takeout and sit outside with it on a dirty table. Left afterwards because she ignored me after giving me a menu to get takeout while I was at the register and walked away. Unfuckingbelievable. Should get fired. I'm a regular and now I'm forced to leave a review like this because someone now ruined the whole experience of Kagawa. What a terrible fucking person ugh.

It's good. Was hungry for some curry katsu. Were visiting my family in Mesa and made this drive to downtown Phoenix. I've for sure had better curry and better katsu. Not going to pick apart the recipes here. So I'm not. I was satisfied and so was all my family. My wife had the chicken ramen and was happy with it. The interior is simple, half blue collar half food stall. Service was on the slow side, just because there was only one waitress. She was hustling but seemed out of place. I can see this as a potential lunch stop if I were ever down town and everything else was busy. There just to many options in a three block radius to eat here again. Last words...let's keep walking.

My girrrllllllllyyy helped me and my other friends out!!! I can't remember her name but she was so friendly and knowledgeable of the menu! We came before close and still was treated with the utmost respect!!!! The food was super yummy prices fantastic and drinks are so lovely!!! Can't wait to comeback!!! Love the vibe inside with the aesthetic!!!

I was really excited to try this place. I wish I could give it a better rating because I really liked its potential. I started with the Chicken Karaage the flavors were fantastic but it was way over cooked and dry and chewy. Property cooked it would have been wonderful, I also got the gyoza. They were ok... taste was good but I prefer them steamed then seared crispy on one side. Just a personal preference. I got the Spicy tonkatsu miso ramen. The broth was divine the noodles were excellent I found it odd they used cabbage instead of bamboo shoots but ok. I prefer the later. Pork was very tasty and moist just cut a little too thick. My server was a very lovely your lady and was very attentive......all in all. Very solid and potentially a rock star ramen joint.

Trendy and cool little place in downtown Phoenix. It was recommended by a friend so we decided to try it. We went on a Saturday and got there just before 2. They close at 3 and reopen at 5 so we were hoping we will be seated immediately. There was only one table left and we sat ourselves. Menu is viewed by scanning the QR code on a little sign on the table. We ordered karaage, Takoyaki as well as two ramen bowls with a seasoned egg. The two appetizers were hands down, some of the best I've ever had! The karaage chicken was so tender and and had amazing flavor. It wasn't served with a dipping sauce but it didn't even need one! The Takoyaki was creamy without being overly creamy. The ramen bowl was very good but it needed something, so I asked for chili oil. We thought it would go really well with the food. They didn't have chili oil ready but they offered to make us some, which we appreciated. The seasoned egg was cooked perfectly. One thing we weren't huge fans of was the noodles; they were more like spaghetti noodles. We are very picky about our noodles and I think one should be especially with Ramen! A solid 4.5 experience, with the appetizers scoring a 5/5 and the ramen bowl a 4/5. Prices are good and service was excellent. We will be retuning.

Delicious ramen, quick and friendly service. Went here once in 2023 & visited a couple weeks ago because of how good it was last time. It was still great.
