Zen is definitely the perfect name for this place. Food, service, and atmosphere deserves more than 5 stars. I had the zen ramen with Kimchi and it was full of flavors, and very filling. Chloe was our server and she was very informative and has a great attitude. She’s definitely dedicated to her job and does it very well. The atmosphere was laid back, and calming.

Food was amazing! Chloe really knows her information on the restaurant, I had no idea there were more locations! I live really close and best ramen I’ve had in a while!! She told me they also have fresh noodles, I need to come back and try those! If you are in the area and need some delicious food then you NEED to come check this place out.

Wonderful service, the food was beyond fantastic. I met up with a friend who is completely impressed with my pic of a restaurant. Loves that type of food. I surprised him by bringing my guitar along and played out front. The manager came out and said hey, I missed the show. I really enjoyed that. They weren't upset that I was playing acoustic and singing. Everyone seem to enjoy it.

Everything was amazing but especially the service. The 2 people that were working were extremely kind, patient, helpful, knowledgeable, and full of good happy energy. Food was extremely delicious. I had vegan pho to go. I will definitely be coming back to eat inside this super gorgeous and clean restaurant.Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian and vegans options.Dietary restrictions: They can exchange items for you.Kid-friendliness: Kids will love this delicious food.
One of the best Vietnamese style crispy noodle anywhere. Nice searing hot wok flavor. Generous portion and quality ingredients. I dine here knowing full well from the reviews that this is likely Vietnamese chef cooking Asian fusion with Thai, Korean, and Japanese options which is not a bad thing. We do the same thing at home. The Pho Dac Biet is very good. We all have our own preference for pho broth but the stand out here again is the ingredient. The beef is so soft and the tendon melt in your mouth so you know the broth is cooked very long. The beef bulgogi ramen is expected. It's not going to be Japanese or Korean but a mixture of both. No hint of miso soup what so over which is what I prefer. Miso based ramen that are offered here in the Tampa/St Pete area tend to be salty. The shaved ribeye that came with the soup is very tender. You're getting shaved rib eye and not shaved chuck roast. The ramen portion is also very generous. This place would be a big hit in St Petersburg/Pinellas Park because quality ingredients in Pinellas Park is lacking.
