Nishikawa Ramen (Phoenix)

Took my sister out for her first ever ramen tonight here in her hometown of Phoenix.

As recommended by members of r/ramen, we hit up Nishikawa Ramen. 🍜

I had the Curry Ramen (pic 1), with an extra egg and double meat. I’m diabetic and the added protein is important when I eat noods.

I liked this bowl. It was flavorful with a heavy hand of the curry, but the toppings and ingredients all still shine through.

My sister had the Nishikawa Black (pic 2), which is their Tonkotsu with black garlic oil. I did try the broth and found it tasty, but not super impressive compared to other Black ramen I’ve had. She enjoyed her bowl but said she’d have ordered the curry instead. So there’s a next time. Which is a win.
