Cherryblossom Noodle Cafe

"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."

Pho Chandler

★★★★☆ 4.4 (930) • $$

"My son and I visited on a particularly cold day in January. Craving warmth and pho, we decided to check out Pho Chandler. So many people had the same idea because there was a line outside. We had originally planned on dining in, but as soon as I saw the amount of people waiting, I decided to order to-go.We were greeted as soon as we entered. The space is cozy and ample seating. I ordered the Gỏi Cuốn (spring rolls), $6.95, Phở Hải Sản (seafood pho), $17.50 and my son ordered the Phở Đặc Biệt (house pho), $14.50. It was ready within 20 minutes.We requested shrimp only in our spring rolls. It was fresh and the accompanying peanut sauce was rich, creamy, and delicious. My pho came with snow crab, shrimp, and scallop with rice noodle. The broth was flavorful and I appreciated the amount of protein it came with. It was a solid pho! My son's came with house special combination of sliced eye round steak, well done-brisket well-done flank, soft tendon, and trip and beef meatball with rice noodle. He, too enjoyed his pho. Would order from Pho Chandler again!"

Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery

★★★★★ 4.6 (712)

"I love the Papaya and Noodle plate. You can choose the meats of your choice. I usually like the chicken or beef. Nice spot to eat at in Phoenix. We enjoyed coming here on a night out to escape the heat. I also like the Spring Rolls here with shrimp or pork. NIce people, and staff working here. Prices are not high either. So, I will be coming here often."

Chanpen Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.4 (765) • $$

"Location: Plaza on the northeast corner of Baseline Road and S 48th Street. Close to Fry's grocery store and a donut shop. Ample parking available. Wait: It was a busy Friday night, we were seated in about 15 minutes. But it took longer for the food to arrive, I think they were prioritizing takeout orders. Lots of patrons sitting around and not eating. Ambiance: Dim lighting with dark ceiling, floors and furniture. Marble tables with a mix of chairs, wall benches, and wooden booths with minimal back support. Menu: Standard Thai fare. Various appetizers, curries, soups, salads, fried rice, stir fried entrees, and noodles. A few dessert items like ice cream, mango sticky rice, and fried banana. Chicken Skewers (satay) - Six small and skinny pieces. Some were a little fatty, all were not grilled long enough. Drowning in sauce that should have been served on the side. Beef Pad See Ew - Didn't have much soy sauce flavor, kind of bland. Meat and noodle consistency was fine. I understand why they use broccoli instead of gai lan (Chinese broccoli), but it's out of place with the rest of the dish. Chicken Fried Rice - Some grains were hard to chew, protein was tender at the very least Complimentary Sorbet - Sweet and tangy Verdict: Entirely forgettable experience"

Jin Shabu

★★★★☆ 4.3 (696) • $$$

"I like the condiment bar. The wait can be quite long since this is a popular place. There are lots of hot pot places opening up these days. Perhaps this may make the wait less due to people going to other places. At a hot pot place you cook your own food in boiling broth at your table. They have a few different options on the menu for your broth. You can't change it once selected at the beginning of the meal. You get your own veggies at a station in the center of the restaurant. They bring you thinly cut meats from the back. A lot of it is fatty but it makes the food taste so good and soft. I like that I can mix my own dipping sauces from a station in the center of the restaurant. This adds more flavor to the meal. Otherwise I think it is bland. The staff is patient and fairly quick. It can sometimes be really loud when the restaurant is full of people."

Definitely planning to come back more.Highly recommend Calamari and Ka Soi Chicken! :)Price is affordable for how big the servings are."

Kungfu Kitchen

"A nice traditional Chinese restaurant in the heart of Tempe. They have many traditional dishes that are non-american Chinese food. They have those as well. Everything is cooked to order. Staff is on point and knowledgeable on all of their food. Large selection of items at a decent price with large portions. Definitely come and check it out if you want more than just American style Chinese"

Lychee Kitchen

"Our go to spot! If you're feeling sushi, Chinese, twainese, they have it all. We are making our way though the menu. They even have a special Chinese menu if you want to venture out of your comfort zone and try new stuff. Literally everything we had so far has been delicious. Service is always great and food is always fresh and popping hot. Love this place."

Thai House Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4 (318) • $$

"Stopped by here after a long day. The food was very tasty and quite delicious. The service was excellent being one person was taking care of the restaurant. Great job! Good came out rather fast as well. The only down side of why I gave it a 4 star is because the dirty dishes on the cart was not a good site as well the top of the Sriracha bottle was crusty and gross. I will definitely go back because the food was really good."

Pyro

★★★★☆ 4.3 (233) • $$$$

"I've been wanting to try Pyro for awhile. From the photos and Reels, I've seen it looked beautiful inside and outside on the patio, and seeing it in person, it did not disappoint. I was worried about parking since they said street parking available, and usually that's limited but there's a parking garage diagonal from it which made it really easy.The service is on point. Never rushed. Always courteous. My friend called the restaurant beforehand to tell them it was my birthday two weeks ago and they still honored and celebrated it by offering a complimentary dessert, the Ube panna cotta. I recently developed an allergy to mango so instead of the mango lassi, they substituted one of their homemade ice creams that still complemented the dessert well!We sampled and shared several menu items. We started with the steak tartare served with little cuts of bread and the Hearth beets. One was a hearty appetizer while the other a light airy treat. Both were delicious!At the very beginning of the meal, the staff told us that anything off of the Hearth menu would take awhile so they wanted to put that order in from the start. From reading other reviews, people had complained of food taking too long, but if they tell you beforehand like they told us, I don't see the problem. It gave us more time to enjoy each other's company and drinks, hehe. The wait was worthwhile! The New York bone in strip was cooked to perfection. Loved the salty chunks and seasoning on top and the unique Asian twist of Bernaise sauce along with the "meat juices" served with the steak married a bunch of complimenting flavors. The whole Branzino wasn't as big as we expected, but it packed a lot of flavor in its white tender meat. We really enjoyed that but glad we ordered other food to add to the balance.The crab noodles surprisingly was one of my favorite dishes. I do love crab so much, but it was just the right amount of pasta mixed in, buttery, rich and tasty! We also ordered the short rib fried rice because we wanted to try it too and glad that we did!The bathroom was interesting. My husband could have sworn that the audiobook of the "Art of War" by Sun Tzu was playing in the background as you "took care of business." On the way there, if you looked at the wall, there were set in small vintage pin ball looking machines. There was a lot of detail every where if you took a moment to look around. Pyro is worth visiting. It's definitely an experience and lovely environment for celebrating a special occasion and I can see also a fun place to enjoy happy "Social Hour.""

Shaanxi Garden

★★★★☆ 3.9 (278) • $$

"I almost always opt for Mexican food...but not this night. We were hungry...we had options...then my best friend said "there's a pretty good Chinese place up here, let's do that." I was initially against it,...I wanted a burrito, but I gave in. This is a sit and order at your table place. We were greeted quickly with a smile. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Lots of seating inside and everything looked clean and inviting.The plates are definitely shareable, but we figured that out after ordering. I got the Biang Biang Noodles with Pork and it was really good! Nice and spicy with thick slices of jalapeño. My friends ordered other entrees that I tasted and liked them. They also ordered the Fish Pot...heads up, that is a HUGE! But wow, it was good. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'll come back....I need to try more here."

Surprise Pho Vietnamese Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (249) • $

"I visited Surprise Pho on a whim. I craved for vietnamese food and called ahead to place my order. They were helpful in helping me figure out the menu. Since I was in a time crunch I had to make sure the food would be ready.They had it readily prepared for me to eat. I got the hot stone bbq ribeye. I love a hot and sizzling plate. I'm not sure but when I had it for my dine in option.. I was hoping to hear the food crackle and pop. But surprisingly it did not get that effect. I ate the steak that once cut into pieces with onion and bell peppers. It was more like a peppered steak dish. It was mediocre, but I'm assuming it would've been as bomb dot com if they had put it hot on the platter and kept the ribeye steak intact and cooked to our liking. I got the shrimp spring roll, it was rolled thick. It helped make me feel full. I appreciate the customer service at this restaurant. I think they can improve the dated interior. I hope they can better their food. But for anyone in the surprise area who doesn't know pho and vietnamese food like I do, the price is a good options for a quick grab and go."

"Took my dad here for some lunch. The place was clean and only a couple more groups in there. We were greeted right away and it is seat yourself.We ordered the spring rolls with pork and shrimp, wonton noodle soup and vermicelli bowl. The spring rolls were nice and fresh, and the peanut sauce was on point. I have noticed some places have maybe overproduced peanut sauce and it is really watery but not Fu Belly!My dad loved his wonton noodle soup and finished every drop. He already wants to come back here.Overall friendly service, good prices and portions. Definitely recommend!"

Yatai Ramen

"Yummy ramen at an affordable price! Small and casual restaurant with limited parking near ASU. Kind service.Ordered the Yatai Ramen and it was pretty good. Not super amazing but for $11 it's hard to beat! Tonkatsu broth was good and not too heavy like I've had at other places.Husband got the combo which comes with ramen and an additional entree for $15. Good value and you'll def be full."

Smile Thai Cuisine

★★★★☆ 4.2 (190) • $$

"When I went inside, there were only a couple of people sitting at the tables. It was pretty quiet in there. The inside of the restaurant is pretty small. There didn't seem to be a lot of seating. When you first enter, you come across the counter with a cash register on it, and the sun is shining brightly since the restaurant faces west. The employees were in the back when I first arrived. I was able to pick up my food quickly. I had the tom yum fried rice and pad Thai. The Tom Yum fried rice has a little bit of Tom Yum flavor. I was expecting it to be more flavorful. I have been to another Thai restaurant where their tom yum fried rice was packed for flavor, but was maybe too salty. The food came out hot. I like that the food came out hot. I also like that they had black containers that were microwave safe as opposed to Styrofoam containers. This means that they can handle the heat. When I first had the Tom Yum fried rice, I could taste the Tom Yum flavor. After tasting the pad Thai, I couldn't taste the tom yum flavor in the rice. The pad thai was also a little light on flavor as well. They didn't ask me how spicy I wanted my meal. My meal ended up being not spicy at all. I usually get at least a mild or medium spice level. The parking lot was interesting because you have to enter it by going north on rural and making a right into the parking lot or heading south on rural and making a left into the parking lot because the parking lot right in front of them is a one-way only parking lot. I have been here before and I had really liked their Tom yum soup. I'm not sure if they changed ownership since the last time I visited."

Spice Spirit Chinese Cuisine and Bar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (176) • $$

"Wow, this has to be one of the best authentic spicy Chinese food I've ever had. I usually don't tolerate spicy well, this place however can make dishes that ranges from none to a lot. They're accommodating. Service is excellent. Lots of things to choose from on the menu, and the menu have pictures in case youre confused!We tried the fried spicy fish, eggplant with millenial egg, the traditional ma po tofu, and snow pea leaves with garlic (not on the menu but most places have it if you ask). Our fish dish came out super salty, it's kinda like a salt and pepper kinda turn out, so we asked if it could be redone and the owner took care of it for us at no additional cost. Large tables available for large parties otherwise most seatings are for 4~6, booths available."

"Food is always fresh made and still hot after delivery! Employees, (owners?), are always super nice and helpful!We substituted the Steamed White Rice in our Sweet & Sour Chicken meal, for vegetable fried rice, with an upcharge,..and ordered a small side of the Steamed White Rice. Chicken is always freshly fried, packaged separately from the sauce, and it's very good!Everything is always packaged very good, and always comes with everything we need, such as forks, napkins, Soy Sauce and yummy Fortune Cookies!"

"Got take out, got delayed by traffic. They were gracious enough to let me keep the lunch special price even though I was thirty minutes late. Yeah I just ordered from here two days ago and back. Mongolian Beef lunch special - $8.15! Better than panda and equal to PeiWei. Really like they're hot and sour soup.What you could substitute for from egg drop. The Mongolian beef was quite tasty.Service is you would expect for any take out. They did good by me."

JINYA Ramen Bar - Central Phoenix

★★★★☆ 4 (167) • $$

"Love JINYA! It was a great place for myself my toddler and my Vegan friend. Let's start with the Vegan menu, as a non Vegan it was Fire!!! That was also the word used by my friend. You can't go wrong with their Ramen or Impossible Tacos. We didn't try the other items but these two were huge wins. Loved the non vegan menu as well, Ramen, crispy chicken was amazing! The service and staff were great and attentive. They have an outside patio so if the sun isn't too hot it's a great place to dine."

Que Huong Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.6 (110) • $$

"This little Vietnamese shop was tucked in the corner of a complex. I was feeling a little under the weather and wanting pho-- but I've noticed a lot of places around Phoenix don't always have tripe for the combo which is a staple for me. This one was close, so ordered pho, wonton soup with egg noodle, and spring rolls. I wish the pho had more tripe but the broth was soooo good. It was perfect for me. I also love that they have hot chili oil to spice it up a little. The wonton noodle was good as well but the pho will always be my go to. I loved the spring rolls but most places they're pretty standard and the peanut sauce was good. I only got carryout but the staff was friendly and had my order prepared. I'd get pho from here again if in the area."

Moon China Bistro - Ocotillo

"Moon China Bistro is a family owned restaurant that we frequent often. The restaurant is always clean and the staff is always friendly. The food is consistent in quality and is always fresh and good. They offer takeout and eat-in dining."

Teazona Dumpling & Noodle Asian Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (120)

"Cool little boba shop that also sells dumplings and some other Asian foods. Went there for the soup dumplings and the shumai. Both were good. Nothing exceptional. Wish they served the food, not in to-go containers with plastic utensils. Sometimes it's difficult to use that cutlery on this style of food. All in all a good spot. Come by and check them out."

PT PHO Express

★★★★☆ 3.7 (153) • $$

"First time here for an early lunch. Place is hugh and service was good. When you go to a Vietnamese Restaurant that is called PM Pho, that is a no brainer, you have to try the Pho.Had the Combination Pho that had steak, meatballs and brisket. Served with fresh veggies and a tasty broth loaded with noodles. Never had Vietnamese Meatballs. The brisket was very tender and my next pho will be the brisket, hands down. Very filling meal and a nice surprise."

Paik's Noodle

Pho Mai

★★★★☆ 4.1 (93)

"We visited Pho Mai for the first time a month or so ago. The food was fresh and hot when we received it and was tasty. We tried some new Vietnamese dishes that we have never tried before because we've never been here before and were pleased with what we got. We've been to this facility years ago when it was another restaurant so it was kind of strange to be here. The place was a little dark and slightly worn but everything appeared to be clean. We were there for an early dinner so we were the only people in the restaurant. There were a few people that came in to get takeout so they had a steady stream of business coming through the door. It was good to see that they have support from the local community. I don't know how long this business has been here but I wish them much luck! I haven't been so good about taking and sharing food photos but will try to do better going forward. We'll have to pay them another visit to give them another updated review."

"When you see a mountain-sized pile of cardboard boxes used for takeaway and delivery orders, you know you're a-bao to get some good eats. ;DWe popped in for some Chinese takeout one evening, and what a delight! We ordered the Beijing beef, chicken ho fun, crab puffs, and small hot & sour soup. The car ride home was pretty torturous as the smells had me instantly salivating. The food held up well during the transport, and everything was exactly what was needed: salt, fat, acid, and heat (and I don't mean the Netflix documentary). Come by and support this local business. This sits inside a sleepy plaza, but this place is nothing to sleep on."

Yoshi's

★★★★☆ 3.6 (99)

"For a 'to go spot' with reasonable prices and tasty food that was ready for pickup VERY quickly, this was great. You can opt for all veggie base instead of rice so that was really nice for a change. The California roll is 4 pieces for $3.50 and that's just about what my hubby and I eat- perfect portion vs a full roll. We shared the Godzilla bento- which had orange chicken, teriyaki beef and teriyaki chicken and it was the perfect amount of food for the two of us- nothing wasted. This is around the corner from home, so will be stopping in here from time to time to grab to go dinner."

PT Pho Express

"PT Pho Express recently opened a new location on 39th Drive in north Glendale near the Good Will. They are a local fast growing Vietnamese casual local restaurant chain. They wait on you here but when you are done you go up to the counter to pay.The people at this location seemed extra nice and friendly.We started out with chicken spring spring rolls that were pretty good and generous in size.We also had the hot and spicy bun bo hue and the chicken curry. Both were good but not like what I'm used to from my regular place.Portions are large. Prices are very reasonable. Parking is easy and close.This is a good place to try if you are in the neighborhood for some healthy food."
