When I first heard about this restaurant, I was a little confused about the concept. Italian and Asian is not a typical combo, and I assumed that this restaurant would do one way better than the other. I started out ordering Asian dishes when I first started visiting. I was a little too scared to experiment with the Italian menu, as their Asian dishes are quite good, so why would I stray? My husband decided he would give it a shot one night, and it turns out that their Italian dishes are equally as good as their Asian dishes. \n\nHere are my favorites:\n- Hakata Ramen: a flavorful Ramen, with coconut milk and pork, one of the few places that offers Ramen in Phoenix, and also one of the best!\n\n- Pad Thai: This is pretty authentic, the sauce had great flavor and the portion is generous\n\n- Rei-Shabu: slices of rare beef, with noodles, and a flavorful sesame dressing, perfect for a hot day\n\n- Bolognese: This sauce is homemade and very flavorful with lots of meat\n\n- Chicken marsala: Not very traditional as it's more of a cream sauce, but it still tastes great, is full of flavor, and the spinach noodles add a nice touch\n\nThey offer reasonably priced lunch specials and sushi too. My only complaint is that the service can be a little slow, so don't come here if you're in a rush. However, they're always very friendly and nice. So if you're in the mood for Italian but your dinner dates wants sushi, you're in luck as CherryBlossom offers both in a delicious way.
