JA Ramen was born in Tucson in 2019 with a simple dream: to share the flavors we love most—ramen, Japanese curry, and hibachi—with our community. What began as a small vision quickly grew into something much greater: a place where tradition, creativity, and family come together in every bowl and every plate.
JA Ramen is more than just a restaurant—it’s a reflection of heritage, dedication, and the belief that food should always be done with care. The name “JA” carries a special meaning: not only short for “Japanese,” but also a reminder to always do things well. That belief guides everything we do, from the broth that simmers for hours, to the curry crafted with balance and warmth, to the lively hibachi dishes made to bring people together..
For us, food is more than a meal—it’s comfort, connection, and culture. Every dish at JA Ramen is our way of welcoming you into our extended family, one bowl and one plate at a time.
In 2022, JA Ramen expanded into franchising, opening the door for passionate entrepreneurs to share in our vision. Today, JA Ramen is not only a beloved local favorite but also a growing brand with multiple locations across the U.S., each serving as a hub of flavor and family.
At JA Ramen, we believe that great food has the power to bring people closer. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, our mission remains the same: to make you feel at home, while sharing the flavors we love most.
