Kenzoku Mazesoba

Kenzoku Mazesoba is a great eatery for comforting, brothless ramen (mazesoba). The interior is bright and the staff are accommodating. The meal started with three warm Kurobuta sausages that were topped with pickled red cabbage and a mustard-based sauce over fresh greens. Overall, a well-rounded appetizer with a nice balance of textures, richness, and acid. Next, the torched Hamachi roll had fresh fish slices laid on a roll and then torched. The hamachi was then topped with black tobiko and complemented with fresh ginger and wasabi. The roll was light and tasty. The Yuzu Shio Ramen was the standout and featured braised pork chashu and a delicious poached egg. The medium-bodied noodles were a pleasant to chew with the toppings.

I had been following this mazesobaまぜそば place for months, and walking in to hear both the waiter and the chef speaking Mandarin was somewhat jarring for a Japanese restaurant.

This was delicious. I had the Hokkaido donburi and yuzu soda. The staff members are super nice and I got off tracked just by chatting with them. I really love what this restaurant has to offer and would come here again.

Bouncy handmade noodles freshly made each day. The perfect amount of chew and thickness of ramen noodles. They are so tasty and unique that will turn anyone into a poetic after devouring and chewing through a bowl-full in minutes… Oh thee “al dente” of Japanese Ramen Noodles… Preserved in the most undisturbed and non-submerged form possible… Oh thy square angular edges… Created intelligently to only absorb the right amount of sauces nearby… I can go on and on about the poetic part of enjoying these noodles, but I will spare you the details. All I wanted to add is the place is clean and the service is quick and polite. We had the Tan-Tan, Yuzu Shio, Thai Spicy, Torched Salmon, Matcha Latte, an Ume Sparking Water. Came out just under $100 after tips. Stellar 5-star sensory experie

We got three brothless ramen bowls to go for lunch, all were tasty, my only complaint was there wasn’t enough veggies and pork compared to the amount of noodles.
