Reviews for Nishikawa Ramen in Chandler, AZ
Delicious! Randomly found this spot while looking for a place to get ramen. The staff was very nice and welcoming. I ordered an... extra spicy Tonkotsu with a soft boild egg. The broth was so flavorful that the entire bowl was bright and exciting. The softboiled egg was done just right and it came with a couple of generously thick pieces of pork. The noodles were ????. I will mostcertainly be back for more! Read more
We were greeted as soon as we entered. Sat down and looked at the menu. Ask for recommendations and we each ordered what was... recommended. Very clean and friendly. Prompt service. Read more
We're huge ramen fans and trying new ramen is a favorite past time of ours. Nishikawa was an AWESOME experience. We got the... tonkotsu and the Yokohama ramen and each one was stellar. Their chashu pork is among my favorite I've had at a local ramenplace. The ramen is "no frills" but high quality. Really flavorful broth and the noodles were a generous portion as well asperfectly cooked. On top of all of that, the portions were very generous for the price. The service was quick and friendly andthe restaurant was clean. Overall, we had a stellar experience and are adding Nishikawa to our ramen rotation! Read more
Wow... I'm truly wondering about peoples perception on what is poor vs. good. My personal opinion is that area meaning... state/city may have something to do with the accuracy of reviews. Parking was ample because the plaza is pretty stagnant. Wewere quickly not pleasantly greeted, note there is a difference especially when the location isn't busy. They took extremelylong to come back to the table to take our order. I ordered rice with pork belly, wow so bad. The rice was COLD and I expecteda nice piece of pork belly but instead got some thin slices that were almost transparent and dry. My wife ordered a soy basedramen and char siu bowl. We noticed that there wasn't any char siu but a piece of stewed pork belly. I called the waitress overto tell her and she told me that is char siu... NOT TRUE. I make char siu frequently and my wife is Chinese and grew up in therestaurant business. We damn well know the difference. Shame on them. Poor food, poor service, outdated look and simply anoverall loss. Needless to say we won't be back ever! Read more
This place is so overrated. We ordered 2 different ramens that tasted like nothing with 2 different hot levels. This is not what... Japanese ramen taste like. Ramen at this place is more like Chinese noodle style (oily and bland). Pork broth was watery andtasteless for both ramen we ordered. No offense but I’m Asian growing up and living in SEA for over 20 years and I know whatI’m talking about. Spicy/hot levels don’t mean anything here; mild and medium are exactly the same (not hot at all). Iwould say with the price I paid here, I preferred to spend it somewhere else that serves better ramen even I have to add a fewmore bucks. - Going back again? NO. - Recommend to a friend? NO.

This is a small place and it is best to make a reservation. I showed up and there was one table left open. After I was seated... the crowd really started coming, so they get busy fast due to limited seating. The food came out quickly and was okay. For myramen I got vegetarian with no spice and I barely had any flavor so I'd suggest going with a bit of heat for sure. It was stillfilling yet light. The shrimp Shu Mai was yummy and probably my favorite item. The spring rolls were crispy andflavorful. Service was good waitress/hostess was everywhere doing all the jobs and everyone was being helped. Decentexperience here. Read more
Not bad Ramen. The broth has flavor. The the pork is ok. “Hot” is more of a medium at best… Almost mild. The service is... friendly and quick. The price is worth what you get. It’s close and cheap and if you want a quick bowl of ramen it’s worthit. Read more
I went to this store 3 years ago the taste is very authentic but now the taste has changed like ramen color and taste feels... chemical. I think their ownership was changed too. Read more
