Za-Ya

Zaya didn't disappoint! Came here for a Valentine's Day Dinner with my daughter and everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The cucumber appetizer was super fresh and perfectly seasoned, with just a tad of spice that gave it a nice little kick without overpowering it — such a great way to start the meal. The saikoro steak was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. We also tried the shoyu ramen and the gyukotsu ramen, and both were incredible. The broths were rich and flavorful, and the noodles had the perfect texture. You can really tell they put care into every bowl. And to top it all off, the chocolate tart dessert was divine — rich, decadent, and the perfect not too sweet ending to the meal. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the service was friendly and efficient. Def

Homemade tofu was delicious, very delicate! The ramen was also good. The atmosphere, however, could be improved; the lighting was way too bright, so lowering it a bit would help guests relax. Unfortunately, the utensils were dirty, and there was something inside both my cup of water and my partner’s as well. We also needed new chopsticks but couldn’t get the server’s attention, she was probably busy, and it looked like she was working alone

Genuinely one of the best ramen experiences I’ve ever had. And I don’t say that lightly. I ordered the Gyukotsu ramen, and it absolutely blew me away. The broth was deep, rich, and perfectly balanced, and you can immediately tell it’s made with real care and passion. The karaage on the side was fricken amazing. Perfectly crispy with just the right amount of breading, insanely tender on the inside, and honestly some of the best I’ve had anywhere. The atmosphere inside Zaya is super cozy with an amazing vibe. Everything is spotless and well kept, which just adds to the overall experience. The service was fantastic, and the owner is an incredibly kind, hardworking, genuinely amazing guy. You can feel how much heart he puts into this place. On top of all that, the prices and value are outst

Beautiful space but would never eat here again. I did like that the karaage portion was large and the sauce was very delicious + spicy! Was looking forward to the niboshi ramen most and was completely disappointed with it. Broth was very bland, wasn’t spicy at all (like it states) and the noodles felt cheap, similar to cup ramen. The pork in the ramen was also burnt so it tasted charred and bitter. I was very disappointed. I’ve had ramen all over the city and in Tokyo and this was not satisfactory at all to me. I just didn’t feel comfortable because the male server there when I went was not exactly friendly. Blank faced, monotone, and didn’t crack a smile once. Even when I said thank you when leaving he turned around halfway to look at me and then turned back around… the woman server seeme

Delicious food; excellent service; clean, warm, cozy atmosphere. Really loved the poké - the salmon and tuna were super-fresh as were the tomatoes, avacado and cucumber. Also loved the edamame appetizer; a very nice sized portion; salty and plump! Quiet, super clean and classy place.
