We always have a good experience here. The atmosphere is lighthearted with fun decorations around the restaurant. Depending on how busy it is, it might take a while for your food to be ready.

Came here for dinner on a Friday night and it was about 80% full. Line to order went pretty quickly. We ordered our food, got a number, our drinks, and then found a seat. They serve you your food by the number they gave you. Food came out hot and we enjoyed everything we ordered. We got 3 dishes (2 ramen & 1 curry rice) and it came out to about $50. Everything was delicious but I think I enjoyed the curry the most. We ordered a spicy 7 and it wasn't spicy enough for us. We definitely want to come back and try a spicy 10. Overall, good food and we'd definitely be back.

NYE craving for spicy ramen. Steaming flavorful food, prompt service & open spacious ambiance. Always great spot for good food.

Asian food in Tucson seems to be a specialty. I went to Ja with some friends who had recommended it and did not disappoint. Their menu is giant with a variety of ramen and curry dishes. You can request different levels of spicy for each dish too. It was a casual and modern atmosphere that made it a really fun place to try something new. The chef was so personable and suggested I tried the chicken curry with vegetables since I hadn't tried that before and I really enjoyed it. It was a little bit expensive and I was hoping to get a little bit more chicken, but what I had was crispy, well-cooked, and loaded with flavor. My friends who had the ramen really loved it and I am excited to go back and try that.

Tucson has tons of good spots for noodles and I'm happy to add this to the list! The building isn't much to look at, but the menu is large and the ramen is great! The only thing I wish was that they offered chile oil and other condiments at the tables.

It's a great little ramen shop that has more than ramen. Just about perfect, but not quite there. I'd give it 4.5 stars if I could with only a couple of minor points. The hits: The ramen is good. I got the spicy tonkatsu ramen and it delivered with a thick broth and to my pleasant surprise, lots of ginger, which I love. A lot of ramen places just don't add that much, if at all. The spiciness was at a good level for me and the noodles, while thin (not my favorite), weren't hard. I don't know why every ramen I've been to in Tucson goes for the thinnest noodles possible but it is what it is. I also got the tempura appetizer for $10 which was good as well. Finally a place that's not afraid to add salt to their veggies. Just about every other place uses just unseasoned veggies which leads to a bland experience. Good sauce as well. The misses: The chashu. Thick, tough, and overdone. Good ramen chashu should melt in your mouth but this one needed a hard bite. The service hit on one of my pet peeves which is when you walk up to the counter and people can see you but no one helps or gets help because they're not a cashier. I waited about 30 seconds for the cashier to come around a corner while the two cooks just talked to each other. Not a long wait, but I just don't like standing there and being ignored by staff. The tempura needed more sauce. If you order it, ask for an extra side. The rest of the experience was excellent. Good parking, free soda refills (and large cups for ice water), clean and open atmosphere, easy-to-read menu, just a nice place overall. Next I'll try their chicken katsu curry. Looked excellent.

One of our favorite Ramen places. They also have great curry dishes. I get the chicken curry (5 heat). Perfect not too hot just right. 1 to 10 are your choices Velvet got the veggie ramen. She loved it. Very reasonable prices. Order at the counter.
