The 50 best noodle spots in Phoenix

If you want to eat at a cool place! This restaurant has lots of plants and a great atmosphere. I love all the beautiful variety of plants and the vibe of the restaurant. My noodles were a little too salty, but overall, it was great. The waiter was attentive and polite, and our drinks and food were prepared quickly. There is a coupon for $ 25 off if you spend $ 75 or more, and also cash back if you use the app to pay online.

I dont eat seafood (preference not allergy) so struggle to find options at Japanese restaurants but Hana has a variety of safe options!!! Big sake selection in my opinion and excellent authentic Japanese cuisine. If you have been to Japan like I have, you will be pleased with the cuisine at Hana.

Delicious ramen and appetizers. Purchased the Tantanmen and Mic Drop, savory broth with thick flavorful noodles. The service was friendly and proficient. Great experience, will absolutely eat here again!

After shopping at IKEA in Tempe we decided to drive all the way to NishiKawa to dine in. First time and I was very impressed with the service, food and location. It felt like I was in Japan again eating at a shokodo. Authentic and simply Japan style.

This is a ramen store that I would go to every weekend if I could. The restaurant is small and cozy. It is always busy so make sure you come early if you come with a big group. Their ramen is delicious, my favorite one is Tonkotsu, the soup is so fragrance with the perfect chasu, grill pork belly cook to perfection, I always order extra because that is how good they are. Their noodle is so tender but yet cuper bouncy with each bite. I highly recommend order extra noodle because that thing is so addictive. We also order Takoyaki and Agedashi Tofu for appetizer, which are delicious. The Soymilk base vegetarian ramen, and I quote from my partner “The broth is to die for”. The service is super fast and friendly, I highly recommend this place if your date loves animate and Japanese cuisine.

Great experience at Obon recently while visiting Scottsdale. Great atmosphere inside as well as on the patio where we ate. Friendly service and a nice selection of appetizer & dinner options. We ended up ordering and sharing some small plates and sushi and enjoyed everything. Notable dishes were definitely the pork belly bao buns, sushi rolls, and the pork belly & cucumber hot plate. We also enjoyed the crispy rice sampler and vegetable tempura.

Just finished my first experience at Hachi Ramen, and I have to say it was an impressive one. The presentation alone was spectacular. It looked so well-crafted that I didn’t even know where to start. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen, though I was a bit unsure about the tare used. The staff mentioned it was a tonkotsu base but didn’t specify whether it leaned toward shoyu, miso, or another style. Looking at the menu, they do offer different tares, so I wonder if this particular bowl uses a special in-house blend. The broth was lighter than I expected from a tonkotsu, but not in a bad way. In fact, it felt like a great option for when I’m craving ramen but don’t want something overly heavy, especially on a warm day. The aroma of the restaurant alone suggested that the chef is highly experienced, and the broth delivered. I enjoyed it as it was but found that adding white pepper really enhanced the flavor even further. The chashu was easily the highlight of the dish. It was one of the best pork belly chashu cuts I’ve had, perfectly tender with a slightly sweet profile and a fantastic smokiness. The seasoned egg was well-cured, though it was just slightly shy of that ideal jammy texture. The menma was absolutely addictive, and I could eat an entire plate of it by itself. The kikurage and green onions were fresh and well-portioned, adding a nice balance to the bowl. Instead of the standard thin noodles that typically accompany tonkotsu ramen, I opted for the thicker, chewier noodles, and I’m glad I did. They had the perfect bite and paired beautifully with the broth. I appreciate that Hachi Ramen allows for customization in this way. The chashu was so exceptional that by the end of my meal, I decided to upgrade to the chashu fried rice along with a kikurage ramen combo. This was another absolute win. Each grain of rice was cooked properly, separate and not clumped together, just as great fried rice should be. The pickled ginger was a fantastic touch, balancing the dish perfectly. Hachi Ramen delivered a fantastic experience with high-quality ingredients and an expertly crafted bowl. The chashu was a clear standout, and the option to switch up noodle styles was a welcome touch. I’ll definitely be back, especially to try their tsukemen, which will be my first time having it. I’m looking forward to seeing how they execute it. Would I recommend Hachi Ramen? Absolutely. If you’re a ramen lover, especially one who appreciates exceptional chashu, this spot is worth a visit.

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.

Food is delicious. Various amounts of Ramen, Japanese’s noodles, etc. there are other food items as well. Sushi. Steak. Appetizers. Strawberry lemonade drink was super tasty. I ordered udon noodles which were noodles on the thicker size but very soft texture wise. Shrimps pork etc. desert selection is minimal but from what’s seen looks amazing. Would definitely come back again.

My family has been going here for decades. Food is authentic and excellent if you know what to order. The atmosphere is usually chaotic and crowded on weekends during dim sum hours, so keep that in mind if you’re easily overstimulated. We recently had from their regular menu the lobster stir-fried with ginger sauce (prepared with black bean sauce is tasty, too!), Peking duck, scallops with black bean sauce, salt and pepper fried chicken, steamed ginger sea bass, chicken chow mein, fried rice with BBQ pork/Chinese sausage, seafood soup with shrimp/tofu/egg flower/mushrooms, shrimp with walnuts and cream sauce (shrimp were gigantic!), and mixed veggies in a savory sauce. Because we couldn’t resist, we also grabbed some coconut buns, egg tarts (probably my favorite), and har gow from the dim sum carts. It was a fantastic birthday lunch!

Best bowl of Ramen in the greater Phoenix area, hands down. Every kind is worth trying, but my personal favorite is the Shoyu. The Onsen egg add-on is crucial, it's like an ultra soft boiled egg that almost melts in the bowl. The cured egg that comes with the Shoyu is also the best around, I've never had another like it. The owner who started it is a chef, and it very clearly shows from the second you walk in. Elegant digs with a clean and well organized kitchen. It doesn't feel cluttered, even though it's a small spot. I don't give many 5 stars out but I love this place, it's a true gem

They have really fantastic rolls, and they are all reasonably priced. Around $15 or $16 a roll. The fish is very high-quality and very well prepared. I will definitely be coming back.

This is one of the best broth base ramen shops in the valley. The noodles are above average and the toppings were larger than most other places. Prices are on the high side. The one glaring negative is the request for a tip at the time of order. The efficiency you gain only hurts your servers to get rewarded for being attentive.

I recently visited Little Miss BBQ, and wow, what a treat! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich, and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was perfectly tender, smoky, and packed with flavor. The bun was soft and complemented the pulled pork so well. I especially loved the variety of BBQ sauces they offered – each one brought a unique twist and really elevated the dish. You can tell they take pride in their craft. They're always cooking up something tasty, and the aroma fills the air as soon as you walk in. Quick, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere make this place a must-visit for any BBQ lover. Highly recommend it!

Back for Round Two! Two weeks in Phoenix and I couldn’t resist returning. This time we got the Chateaubriand for two. The salad was delicious. Ordered the Old Fashioned & Still Superb. The Beef Tenderloin was cooked to medium, but was a little rare in the middle. Still melt in your mouth superb steak. I tried it with each sauce and the creamed horseradish was the best. This didn’t need any sauce and was perfect. The Parmesan potatoes were good. The Sautéed Button Mushrooms were perfect. The Brussel sprouts were good. Service was good. Looking for a Steak House and the Stockyards Restaurant sounded perfect. Ordered the Old Fashioned with Stockyards Bourbon by Outlaw Whiskey. Perfect Compliment with the steak. The Cornbread was good and the bread just ok. Went with the Baseball Sirloin with salad & garlic whipped potatoes. The steak was lean and cooked medium perfectly. The whipped potatoes were fluffy and paired perfectly with the sirloin. Lean & tender was excellent. The salad was fresh and delicious. The Crem Brûlée was absolutely phenomenal end to the meal. The service was superb. Loved the old style steak house. Would definitely recommend and return.

It’s quite unfortunate that I can’t rate this place higher than 5 stars, because it deserves it and more. Where to start??? From the moment we dropped off our car at the valet, we knew this was going to be something special. The service was out of this world exceptional. I’ll say that twice. Exceptional!!! The staff was amazing. We were celebrating our anniversary and it seemed like they were there just for us. The food was phenomenal. The chef deserves his flowers. The explanations of all the foods went over my head, I’ll admit, but boy!! I’ve never had those combinations of flavors before. Portion sizes were small, but it was a tasting menu and we left quite satisfied. We were pampered for the 2.5 hours we spent there. My wife got up to go to the bathroom, and as soon as she left the room, they came and changed out her napkin. At the end of the night, when we got our car back, they had left some sweet deserts and a very lovely card on the dashboard for us. It is pricey, but it is absolutely worth every penny.

Excellent dinner with front of house staff that truly care about guests’ experience, and chefs that execute on the great vision of the menu. I had Brussels cooked until velvety tender that soaked up a creamy coconut curry sauce, topped with crunchy onions. Then had a lamb dumpling dish with tons of savory, spiced lamb flavor brightened and rounded out with fresh mint and cilantro, pomegranate and yogurt. Had very yummy labneh and berry ice cream they source from a local shop. Also had the bottled phony negroni, which was not as amazing as the food, but not bad. Highly recommend this restaurant for a good dining experience and enjoying food you can taste people care about making.

I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich they were offering as a special and it was amazing! It was a good size sandwich and so flavorful. I also had a salad and a dessert, both were good. It’s a cool little spot inside. If I’m on this side of town again I’ll make sure to go!

Authentic delicious Italian restaurant and grocer. Highly recommend! Service was top level, everyone was so friendly and attentive. I loved how knowledgeable everyone was about the food they order. We tried a few items and loved it. We will definitely be back again… very soon!

In town from Tucson, visiting family and decided to stop in for an early birthday dinner for my wife. The place is amazing. Casually Cool. We were seated outside on the patio, and it was perfect. My wife's ribs were unreal. Meat fell off the bone, and my shrimp scampi was excellent. Our dessert choices were banana cream and lemon meringue pies. Both were delicious, but since we couldn't take any leftovers, Ray L, our sever refused to let my wife go home empty-handed for her birthday and gave her some macaroons to go. It was such a very nice gesture to go along with top-notch service. We HIGHLY recommend you try Buck and Rider! Ask for Ray L. You won't be disappointed.

I love it here. This place is hidden away from the rest of civilization. Whoever designed this restaurant is a genius. There are live plants everywhere and even mounted on the walls. There are these hanging string lights surrounding the place like one would put in the back patio of their home. This place makes me feel at home. I'm not joking when I say, I didn't want to leave the property. Atmosphere is king. Customer service is excellent here. Thank you for your attentiveness, Makena. They have Sugar In The Raw here for my black iced tea. A bonus feature. As for the meal, the FUSILLI BOLOGNESE at $23.00 was a steal. It consists of Rustic Meat Sauce, Pecorino (Italian hard cheese produced from sheep's milk), & Fusilli (spiral pasta). My date got the SAUSAGE pizza & at $15.00; also a steal (House-Made Sausage, Red Onion). But wait. I ate dessert before the meal: Dark Chocolate Laava Cake $11.00 (Hazelnut chocolate sauce, vanilla gelato). 'Kiss the tip of your fingers' type of food here. I had to save half of my pasta for lunch tomorrow. My meal alone was enough for two people. I can't describe the amount of pleasure I was having eating it. I savored every bite. I'll be back, that's for sure.

Love the team service approach. All the servers and hosts were very nice and attentive to our table. Food was great. If I had one critique it would be put pictures of your food in the menu. I don't understand why places like this don't show pictures for those of use that don't know what we are ordering :) I guarantee I would have bought more and other things if saw pictures. Great job though. Keep it up. We will be back next time in Phoenix.

I'm in love... After having several bad experiences at restaurants in Arizona, this place was a gem. Everything was made with love and Bertha was super sweet. Kisses to the chefs.

This was our first time trying Fry Bread House. It was VERY crowded so we were hoping that meant the food was going to be amazing. They did not disappoint. The fry bread itself was so good, I could've eaten it plain. Anyway we both ordered the ground beef tacos, one order of corn to share, and I tried out their apple refresher. We shouldn't have ordered two separate tacos because they were HUGE, we could've shared one. I had to take a lot of meat out of mine just to finish, I really enjoyed the fry bread. I wasn't a fan of the street corn, it just didn't have the right taste to it and it was very messy. The refresher was really good...imagine apple pie filling flavor over ice. We will definitely return if we're in Arizona again. Very limited seating and it gets really crowded so order quickly and pay attention so you can grab a table before it's too late.

Legit! Been a while since I had legit Gyro meat...this was quite flavorful. Amazing Falafel and the Tabouli was delicious, like top notch. The Spanakopita was good, but might try something else next time. The pickles in the Gyro were a nice addition and flavor profile. Not pictured but a MUST is getting Baklava, they so many to try, I would save room to try multiple next time. This place is a GeM!

Great breakfast spot and was a great start to our trip! The staff the first day were very knowledgeable about food allergies and assisted with menu recommendations for a gluten and dairy allergy they were very thorough and helpful. They had informed me due to cross contamination I could not have their potatos which was fine so we made a substitute (important for second visit). We had a wonderful start to the say with food and (very strong) mimosa flight. We enjoyed our experience so much we went back the next day. I wanted to try something different so I got a breakfast wrap, informed of allergies - once the order came it had potatos in it - I asked about it as I was told it was not safe the day prior and they confirmed it still was not safe so remade the order. Other than that mishap it was a great experience! Edit response to restaurant: I was told that at the time they did not have a separate fryer for dairy/ non dairy products I was told I could not have their potatos due to the cheese curds on the menu in a shared fryer. I personally have a very severe dairy allergy so I can not handle cross contamination of any dairy products.

I stopped by Welcome Diner for breakfast and had an amazing experience! The biscuits and gravy were absolutely delicious—fluffy, buttery biscuits smothered in rich, savory gravy with just the right amount of spice. It was the perfect comfort food to start my day. The coffee was also fantastic—bold, smooth, and exactly what I needed. The service was friendly and welcoming (fitting for the name!), and the cozy, retro vibe of the diner made the meal even more enjoyable. If you're looking for a great Southern-style breakfast in a laid-back atmosphere, Welcome Diner is a must-visit. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu!

Stopped by on a Friday for lunch. Wife had the Italian combo and I had the prosciutto. Holy cow. That prosciutto on the homemade focaccia was crazy. Mozzarella was so creamy and delicious. She loved her combo especially the mortadela but she wished there had been more of that. Just finished half the sandwich to save room for dessert, a slice of NY salami to go. That pizza... I know the pizza there is always delicious, and we've enjoyed the pizza at downtown Bianco for a long time, but this slice, don't know what they did, but the sauce was tomatoly ridiculous, the cheese perfectly melty, the thinly sliced salty salami, but tbh I've never eaten a pizza crust that good in my life. That wheaty, floury flavor, the aroma, and it cracked like a baguette at the crusty end. Shoved the slice into my mouth in the parking lot. Thanks, guys!

A piece of Havana in the desert. This is a fun and upbeat venue to take friends, family, or business contacts for a relaxed conversation and dinner. That bar serves up rum-based cocktails that are particular suited for conversations. The food is very well prepared, with attention to detail. Every single item in our orders were flavorful, delicious, and cooked to perfection.

Had the most wonderful egg scramble here with a TON of veggies. They did not skimp whatsoever on the portion of vegetables in the scramble. It was fantastic !! The ambience is also super cool, the ceiling is decorated with egg cartons, which is quite creative. The food came out quickly as well. Prices were reasonable too.

What an amazing little restaurant in the middle of the Phoenix airport neighborhood. Thank god we saw this place before we drove out of town because our lives would have been less than perfect. Now that I tried their chicken sandwich with the Korean chili sauce, I can honestly say I am good. Really good. Thank you to the staff who took care of us! Bless you.

What a wonderful experience! Great Thai food; great service; great fun. We went to Glai Baan without reservations, not the best way, but know that they reserve some seats for drop-ins. The host greeted us warmly. It was about 4:30p, and all the inside seats for our group size (4 and a 3 year old) were taken so we were seated outside. A bit warm yesterday, 102°, but we were shaded by a nice bougainvillea. The waiting staff was great and tended to us like we were family. The food is the best Thai we have experienced here in the Valley. We will definitely return!! Highly recommend.

This place is absolutely a hidden gem! The House Chai was amazing and the fresh bagel breakfast sandwich was to die for! You won’t be disappointed if you go here. The only con I can think of is the parking area is very small. So you will probably have to park on the street a walk a little bit. But the walk is worth it!

Super fun atmosphere, great price for drinks and sake. This particular night we had a male server. He was in a hurry to go somewhere else and not help us. But the week before we had a woman and she was on it.

I came here three years ago on a trip to Phoenix and it was the first place I came when I returned. This cafe is the cutest. The coffee is great, I got mine with oat milk and the oat milk was good. The interior is very charming, with different little nooks to sit in. There’s also some merch including t shirts, tote bags and stickers. This place is just so full of charm. I’ll be sure to come again on my next visit.

Shady park has amazing vibes! Every staff member we came across were super friendly and accommodating. My pitbull got so much love from everyone 🥰 will definitely be back. *Make sure to get the truffle salmon*

The Uptown Farmers Market is now a non-negotiable part of my weekend routine with Freddy. The vendor lineup is amazing, and every week I enjoying buying from a different vendor. Many vendors also set out water bowls for the pups which is awesome. My usual haul includes fresh bread, salsa and chips, bagels, a dog bone for Freddy (his favorite part), and a few bath bombs. The market staff are always super friendly and helpful, which just makes the whole experience even better. Highly recommend for both humans and very spoiled dogs.

Great bar - drinks, atmosphere and vibe. Wings are my favorite on the menu. I was t impressed with the burgers but they were fine. Location is Next to the ballpark park which is super convenient.

Lee Lee International Supermarkets is a hidden gem for anyone looking for international groceries. The store is spacious, clean, and well-organized, with products from Asia, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and more. You can find everything from fresh produce, exotic fruits, live seafood, frozen dumplings, to specialty sauces and snacks from different countries. Their selection of Asian noodles, spices, and condiments is especially impressive. The prices are fair, and they often carry items you can’t find anywhere else in the area. Staff are helpful and polite, and there’s usually someone around who can answer your questions if you’re looking for something specific. Whether you’re shopping for a recipe from back home or just curious to try something new, Lee Lee is the perfect place to explore global flavors. It’s more than a grocery store—it’s a cultural experience. Highly recommended!
