Customer Reviews
The food was good 9/10, the waiter was nice and polite. The wait for food wasn't too bad it was about 2-5 minutes. Ordered dumplings 9/10, the fried tofu 10/10, spicy tonkotsu ramen and the non spicy tonkotsu ramen 9/10. Both ramen are flavorful and delicious!
Kind of seemed like 2 restaurants in one. One menu had poke bowls and teas, while another has ramen and stir-frys. I ordered a pork bun (delicious) and the Tonkatsu Ramen. The ramen had a very rich broth, while my egg was a little over done but overall really good.
This is one of the only restaurants I feel comfortable eating at alone. The server doesn't bother you too much and they have small tables for 2 that work really well for someone who is alone. It's also very quiet. The menu has enough options to pick from but not a lot to overwhelm you. If your craving ramen, their ramen options (any of them) are all great and if you are looking for rice, their donburi are great too. My go to donburi would be the beef. My favorite appetizers are their takoyaki or fried shrimp shumai.
Zen Ramen is tucked in between an Aldi and Golden Corral. We were a little hesitant to try them when they first opened. We were extremely happy that we gave them a try! The ramen is full of flavor, and the broth is delicious! We’ve had ramen broth that has not had a good taste to it. The noodles themselves are always perfect! You can sometimes tell that ramen noodles aren’t fresh, but that is not the case for Zen Ramen. We have been here many time, and the service has always been friendly and quick. It’s great to have a wonderful ramen restaurant in the area!
This was my first time having Ramen it was absolutely delicious!!! 🤤 perfect for the weather & myself as I have a cold I ordered the spicy beef ramen perfect amount of spice and the customer service was impeccable! I love the little bag my food was in and they helped me out I accidentally ordered the wrong thing online and I called to change it right away they were on top of it and I was able to get the ramen I wanted 10/10 plan on coming back with my family to sit and eat next time thank you zen ramen!!
