    I honestly didn't really care for it but you might feel differently. I think there was some miscommunication about my wife's order so she got something different than what she wanted. The food was okay. The service was just alright. I did feel like we waited for like 15 minutes for a waitress after being seated. I'm probably not going to go back here but you might want to check it out if you like Asian food.

    Once we open the door of the restaurant you get pardoned by different aromas. Customer service was fast we got seated immediately and the hostess was good on a timely manner although he did forget a few things but it was busy I won’t judge him about it. Food was great I definitely recommend you get the Ramen and the strawberry shortcake. In conclusion this establishment is great in every aspect for a restaurant, I would highly recommend.

    This was very cool place i went with my boyfriend and the food was spectacular. Our server, Lillian M was amazing as well super sweet and even helped us navigate the menu and pour out left overs into the take out containers. The spice could be spicier, but was still delicious, 5/5 i recommend.

    Beautiful relaxing setting, with a nice comfortable Asian decor. The service was great. The young lady who took our order answered all of our questions and made me feel very comfortable ordering new food that I had never tried before. Prices were fair. The food was delicious. I will definitely go back again.

    First time at Cherry blossom Noodle Cafe came in with my husband for late lunch and was pleasantly surprised. Our Server Rin was great at answering our questions about the dishes and was kind enough to let me know that I was holding the chopsticks correctly. I order the chicken Pad Thai over rice noodles and it was delicious. We shared the chicken Katsu for appetizer and took home one of their delicious desserts. We will definitely come back.

    Nice little Japanese restaurant. The food is good. Bread is soft. Decor is nice. Service is awesome and attentive except for one older Hispanic? Lady. Mean and rude. Good selection for vegetarian. The tempura is one of a kind so far in my Japanese restaurants experience in the U.S., has gobo and lotus root. Avoid the sauce if you don't eat fish since it probably has dashi in it. Bathroom is clean and cool.

    I have been coming to this place for years. The food is phenomenal 😋 but the service needs a face lift. It's not a very friendly kind of place ... wait staff hardly smile, they don't check on you often, they don't welcome you and you end up waiting and waiting before they decide to take your order. It's sad to say that I tolerate their wait staff. I am familiar with 2 of their wait staff and I try to visit on those days they work. I appreciate their kindness. However, I keep convincing myself I'm only here for the food. There's a lot of options here but I encourage you to order the things that you like. They have so many varieties of dishes there is no disappointment. Things I order most ... California roll with and without crunch, shrimp tempura roll, gyoza fried dumplings, vegetable tempura, soups like hot pot and miso, pad Thai, yakisoba with pork, spicy beef, mixed tempura to desserts.

    Nice little spot we found today while searching for ramen! There is also a walk-up spot called Tokyo Express within this restaurant which I thought was pretty cool and they (Cherryblossom) also serve Italian food, apparently. There is limited seating due to Covid but we were able to get a table easily. We tried the shrimp shumai, dumpling, these are the best shrimp dumplings I’ve had anywhere! And the spicy mayo definitely adds to this! I tried the Tokyo, added a poached egg. This ramen was delicious, the chicken gave it a such a tasty flavor! It’s very simple but very flavorful! My honey got the Shoyu, also added a poached egg which he later hoped would have been a hard boiled egg (personal preference, mine was perfect). This one had a few more ingredients than the Tokyo, very filling and full of flavor! My only disappointment with this place is that it’s understaffed. I was really looking forward to dessert but it took over 20 minutes from the time we finished eating to the time our server brought our check, weren’t asked if we’d like dessert and at that point, we didn’t much care to wait for anything any more. Our server was great but it was quite busy and it was just her and a gentleman tending the tables, poor thing was out of breath the last 2 times she made her way to us. Aside from this, everything was amazing. Great customer service, delicious food that is very affordable, the drinks were a little pricey ($3.50 for milky Pepsi and $4.50 for Thai tea), very cute little restaurant with lots of character and what appeared to be a nice selection of dessert. I’m very much looking forward to coming back.

    The atmosphere inside was very relaxed, and the service was quick and friendly! They had a large array of food choices including tofu substitutes, and the drink menu had both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

    Great food, atmosphere, and service. Even though they were super busy, multiple workers chipped in to make sure we were taken care of and we didn't need anything. Rare occurrence now a days.

    2nd time I've been here and so far love it! The appetizer garlic bread just gives that precursor to some tasty meals. Ordered Gyoza that was perfectly cooked where it was soft and tender inside but had a crunch outside. Had the Ika Mentai and it was light and the roe that was on top just spreads through giving you that constant seafood flavor but still being light. Definitely happy to try other dishes again and again over here.

    Always a win here. This place is a Phx GEM and I hope they never close. Big fan of the Japanese and Italian style noodles. That’s SO perfect for “date night” or “friends night,” when people have different tastes or urges. Love the glazed salmon app. Also, the “Extremely Spicy Gyoza Pot” is great for when you have a cold. Curry dishes are also a win. Overall, this place should be on everyone’s restaurant rotation.

    Good food. Nice environment. I had the Pad Thai. The noodles tasted good, though the chicken tasted bland, as though it had no seasoning and was just added to the noodles.

    Place is clean. Service is fast. For $17 excluding tip, it wasn’t bad. I ordered tofu steak with shitake mushrooms. Not much of mushrooms as you can see, but tofu is cooked very well. Not rubbery nor too soft. Salad is drenched with dressing which is not really what I like. Love the miso soup, but nothing special about it really. Thai tea is ok, was on the sweeter side though. Serving size is appropriate for solo diner. Maybe I’ll come back again to try their Italian offerings.

    Didn’t even get to eat at this place because the service was so terrible. We were seated for about 10 minutes with no waiter/waitress. The first person that comes to the table tells me I can’t have my Starbucks drink at the table. Within seconds before I could even get up to throw it away, another worker comes to tell me the same thing. No one bothered to offer water or simply even greet us before they told me to get rid of my drink. It’s a shame because I try to support local businesses, but this one will not be getting my money. Management should do better in hiring more pleasurable staff members.

    Amazing food! Super sweet staff. We ordered the gyoza, a ramen, and the spicy Korean beef. All of it was delightful and we left incredibly satisfied! A new local staple!

    One of the best restaurants in the Phoenix area. Absolutely love the marsala chicken with spinach pasta. It's even better with salmon instead of chicken, I usually dislike salmon but the way that they cook it tastes amazing.

    This was such an amazing dining experience. We needed something peaceful and comfortable for my daughter after her heart surgery and we are so happy we stopped here. The pork ramen was AMAZING and the sushi is so fresh and delicious. I prefer smaller rolls so these were perfect. The atmosphere and staff were both so calm. The decor is beautiful. We really enjoyed going here and will be back if we ever end up in Phoenix again.

    Appetizers where the steamed edamame and summer rolls , the summer rolls are made differently than what we are traditionally used to and I want to emphasize this , it consists of the lettuce , noodles , avocado , shrimp , and crab salad, and a sauce mixed with wasabi or something similar, I couldn’t quite pinpoint , it was beautifully plated and did not capture a photo . I had the Shoyu ramen which was amazing and I have 0 complaints , my partner had the salmon salad and if you love a good salad this is not the one , for 18 dollars it could be way better , it consisted of a heap of salad mix and small piece of salmon with a few cherry tomatoes , for our drinks we both had Thai tea , it was more on the bitter side since they only add about a shot glass of a mixture of evaporated milk mixed with sweetened condensed milk , I’d definitely come back again and it was a good experience, the ambiance was very warm and cozy , perfect for a late night dinner date or a nice dinner with friends or family

    Although the selection menu is good, my iron udon tempura was very soggy in the iron skillet. However, the udon broth was delicious and perfectly seasoned.

  • 1/5 S. no D. 10 months ago on Google
    Doesn’t seem like an authentic Asian noodle place. How can this be reviewed 4.5 star !??? Every since i walked in there. The guy waiter reaction is like I’m not welcome to come in. Ordered the udon and when it bring on the table. You can smell something got over cooked. The food burn smell is really strong. Told the waiter. He has no reaction just like I’m talking to a wall. Ends up I finished the food not because how delicious it was. Because I worked overnight shift and really Hungry.

    Overall the food is top notch when it comes right down to it. The Japanese menu is stellar with emphasis on the sushi and grilled items. The Italian part is pretty well done with seafood pasta and preparing the noodles themselves. I highly recommend the curry dishes though. Dessert options are various for the seasons, so come when certain fruits are in harvest or you want to enjoy the year round Italian desserts. I have been coming here for years (10+) and I can say with confidence that if you enjoy Japanese food and drink (btw the cocktail drinks are quite tasty) or simple yet we'll prepared Italian food then please give this place a chance to satisfy your taste buds and guide you to new experiences.

    Intimate spot with EXCELLENT food. Highly recommend the spicy gyoza pot. The ramen was good, though the yakiniku and yakisoba were amazing. There were four of us with individual entrees and 5 types of appetizers for $100. Service was wonderful as well!

  • 3/5 Kayla S. 9 months ago on Google
    I really wanted to like this place, but it disappointed me with the slow service, lackluster ramen and broth, and overall middling quality. Many reviews raved about the ramen, but when I tried the tonkatsu, it was watery and flavorless. The braised pork belly was also limp and tasted like turkey more than anything. The fried chicken wasn't too bad, but really, I came to a "noodle cafe" for the noodles. My disappointment only increased when I had to pay the bill: I mean, the egg, noodles, and other toppings were fine, but the broth and pork belly were poor. I will say the atmosphere of the place is very nice, I liked the dark wood furnishings and quiet mood. Very good as a quiet place to eat. The presentation of the food was nice, the restaurant was clean as well as the bathroom, but I couldn't help but be disappointed in my ramen.

    First time dinning in after seeing so many positive reviews. But the taste was very bland for our taste, we ordered ramen and yakisoba noodles. Ramen was decent but yakisoba was very bland and was missing the flavors.

  • 5/5 David C. 2 years ago on Google
    Was introduced to Noodle almost 10 years ago. The cooks have changed over the years, but their food has stayed tasty. Now some of the dishes' flavors have changed a tad, but are still very good. One of the favorite sides of the family is the Miso soup, which the flavor has not changed over the years. The staff has always been friendly and remember us even after an extended period of not dining there.

  • 3/5 Debra D. 2 years ago on Google
    So the food was good, the only thing that makes the experience not that great was us being rushed. There was a long wait I guess and no tables. So we were being rushed to eat and get out. They didn’t ask us if we wanted desert just wanted us to pay and get out. However we wanted cake and then when I asked, they said for Togo. At this point I feel like I need to eat the cake quick and leave. So not that great to feel rushed. I understand to a degree but being rushed to eat the food is not fair to us paying customers. The little old lady running around is awesome and cute. We loved her keep her around and give her a raise

    So when I Google best noodles place in Phoenix, this place came up. Took 30-40 mins for the table. Noodles overrated and nothing special at all. Service also not so great. Overall, not that impressed with everything in this restaurant.
