Great food and atmosphere. Came here with my wife for lunch and were happy to have some good authentic Japanese food.

I went to Aoki No Chuuka on a Thursday evening and was the only person dining in, which felt a little strange. I got the mapo tofu, which is a popular Chinese dish in Japan. It came with a clear broth soup and rice. It was good, but lacking the strong flavor I expect from this dish. The ground pork was also very sparse. Overall I thought the food was just okay. There’s plenty of parking because the restaurant is located in a plaza with other businesses.

We had a great time here last night. Delicious food in large enough portions for both of us. We had a large bowl of Ramen, Spicy Garlic Edamame and some Fried Gyoza Dumplings. We also had meatballs with veggies in sweet & sour sauce. The service was fantastic and this might just be one of regular spots going forward as we are eager to come back to try more of their entrees. Perfect spot for anyone looking for authentic Japanese Food!

This place is great! The food is prepped fast and it comes out hot and so tasty. Authentic Japanese style Chinese food. I love it here and can’t wait to come back. I recommend the fried rice, pan fried gyoza and the subuta. Please try this place!

Delicious little Chinese/Japanese spot with tasty dishes! The Spicy Garlic Edamame were wonderfully blistered and the sauce was delicious. The Mapo Tofu Ramen was yummy with a slow creeping heat.

They have a fairly decent menu for a Chinese style Japanese restaurant. Got gyoza, tenshin han and beef with bell peppers. The portions are enormous. Gyoza was done well, the pepper beef was okay. The tenshin han tasted a little weird, not what I was expecting but overall the food was ok.

Best Ramen Ever tasted, everything was right I give it a 10 star.. I’m from Arizona and I’ll go back just for that food. Ramen will never be the same until I go back

Small, cozy, AUTHENTIC little Japanese bistro with fantastic, amazingly cooked and presented meals. I had the Pork Cutlet Curry Rice (deep-fried pork cutlet, sliced and placed atop a bed of rice with thick brown curry sauce underneath) which was just as good as my Japanese Mom’s take on this traditional dish. Great service, as well. Highly-recommended for any Japanese natives living locally but especially for Americans who’ve lived in Japan and who are wanting a bit of delicious nostalgia.

Not bad! I’ve tried quite a few items here including the curry omurice, ramen, cold ramen, etc. Most are good! But I prefer rice dishes here because ramen isn’t their specialty.
