Kazu Ramen

Incredible ramen and some of the best sushi I've had in the east side yet! Will be back!

Kazu is an interesting spot for me. I honestly don't come here on my cravings--I come here when my wife craves it lolTheir ramen is good, although I always feel like the soup can be much hotter out of the gate, but it's probably to minimize accidents. What I always get here are 2-3 items: the Chashu bowl, the Takoyaki, and the Karaage. The takoyaki (squid balls) and karaage (fried chicken bites) are appetizers, and I prefer the karaage. The karaage is crispy, juicy, and is delicious with the lemon squeeze and mayo. The takoyaki leaves me satisfied and unsatisfied at the same time--something about the inside that always feels too..wet. Tastes fine, though; I just never feel like I get my money's worth with this dish.The Chashu bowl is a rice bowl with braised pork and sauce on top. It also comes with a little bit of ginger and green onion. If you love rice and soft and fatty meat, this is the dish for you. Tastes great and generous with its portion.One thing to take away is that Kazu does a good job with consistency. Every time I get these, they taste the same, they "feel" the same, and look the same--for better or worse.I can't give the place 5 stars for two reasons: The takoyaki and the overall cost of their food--I always feel like I'm overpaying. It's a nice, clean restaurant nonetheless.

First impression of the restaurant is pretty small & it was busy so it was pretty loud. There was only 1 girl working upfront so it took a bit. The shrimp tempura was pretty good. I don't think I'd order it again tho, but it was good!! I got the shoyu ramen & my hubs got the spicy miso ramen. We both liked it! Next we go back I think we are going to share the shoyu ramen & get a couple rolls & share a rice dish. We will for sure go back!

My experience at Kazu Ramen was somewhat average, resulting in a 3.5 star review. I had been looking forward to a fabulous lunch, but unfortunately, they had run out of veggie broth, which was a letdown. Although I'm not a strict vegetarian, I was already there and had already consumed my beverage, so I decided to settle for a vegetarian noodle dish with chicken broth. As far as ambiance, I would rate it as 3 since the place is small, and seems claustrophobic. Tables are so close to each other, so you can hear other people's conversations. On the positive side, I have to commend the service provided by the staff. It was prompt and friendly, and it was clear that the waiter wasn't at fault for the veggie broth shortage. However, I do believe that Kazu Ramen needs to address the issue of running out of vegetarian broth if they want to earn higher ratings in the future. It would be beneficial for them to ensure they have an adequate supply available.To sum up, while my visit to Kazu Ramen was a bit disappointing due to the absence of veggie broth, the service provided was of good quality. At present, I'd rate it as a 3.5 experience. Hopefully, Kazu Ramen will take customer feedback into consideration and make improvements to their availability of vegetarian broth.

It's a good local place - not a chain. I enjoyed my chicken ramen, and opting for mushrooms instead of corn was a good choice. Also added bean sprouts. Delish! The egg yolk was not runny - I just gave my egg to my husband - he didn't mind. Broth was flavorful and not just like greasy salty water as it may happen at some places. Miso ramen was tasty - pork belly was soft and well seasoned. We had edamame - could have been seasoned more, but it is not an issue for me. Potstickers were soft and amazing even though maybe they didn't look like anything special. A few types of sake to choose from, a few types of beer, green tea and soft drinks. No wine. Service was very pleasant. The server asked if we needed something a few times, but was not pushy or obtrusive. The ambiance is basic - the place is very clean. A repeat for sure. Haven't tried the dessert bc I don't like mochi, but if you do, they have a few flavors to choose from.

Not very authentic. Broth was salty. Chashu and katsu were bland and ordinary. Really rather disappointing. Even if I don't compare to the ramen I had in Japan last spring, this was mediocre.If I compare to Japan, I would have to give 0 stars. That was awesome. For a local place, it was just mediocre. "Could've been better" describes it well.Service was adequate.

Located in the San Tan Village area, next to At Home store.Casual ramen restaurant. Ramen portion is large and super savory! The service was quick.

This place is delicious! My wife and I tried this place for the first time tonight and it really surprised us. My wife got the Kazu ramen and I got the Tonkotsu with black garlic. Both broths were flavorful and the noodles were cooked just right. We also had mochi ice cream for dessert. Make sure you go early because it gets busy during normal dinner hours.

Great food and great service! Honestly some of the best ramen I've had in Arizona. The broth was excellent and the chicken was perfect

Ramen is FIRE!!!! The broth is absolute perfection. We ordered the Spicy miso Ramen, the Tonkotsu Ramen, Philly roll, Vegas Roll, spicy Tuna roll (my favorite) and the California roll add cream cheese. Rolls were delicious and THIIICckkkk!! This was our second time eating here and it was just as good as the first. Our server was THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! Cute and cozy atmosphere. If you are looking for a hug in a bowl, this is your place.
