Zen Ramen & Grill is a cozy spot with delicious ramen and friendly service. The broths are rich and flavorful, the noodles fresh, and the portions generous. I also recommend the crispy wings and the Black Garlic Pork Tonkotsu—it’s outstanding. Sometimes a few dishes can be inconsistent, but overall it’s one of the best places around for comforting ramen.

We ordered combo atirfry ramen and the chicken was by far the most tender I have ever tasted. Calamari sauce was also a huge hit for me.Still have a lot to save for another meal.

Made a pick up order earlier and came into to retrieve the meal. Once I got to the counter I was asked I was picking up and never spoken to again. The least I expected was an acknowledgement or status of my order if it wasn't ready but instead the 2 servers available continued to service dine in customers (which I completely understood) and pick up customers that came after me. At this point I had already stood directly infront of the counter for at least 5-8 minutes and had only been acknowledged a single time. I was extremely disappointed by the lack of communication which I would consider the bare minimum and promptly left without receiving my order as I could see my time wasn't respected.

The ramen is ok (Hokkaido ramen on Barrington Road is much better). I got the chicken miso and it didn't have much flavor (the portion size was good, as you can see I had to put the ramen and broth in a bigger bowl). I also ordered the crab rangoon for about $6 you get 4 small and very underfilled pieces that are overcooked and very oily. One of the 4 pieces was also not even filled. My boyfriend got the black garlic pork ramen and he said it was good. He also got the egg rolls which were also a bit overcooked and oily. We were very disappointed by this place after reading such good reviews.
Service was attentive. Food quality is okay. Plenty of plaza parking

I might not come back for the ramen specifically, it lacked deep, rich flavors. I don't know if it's their Tare that over powered the flavors I'm supposed to taste in the broths,?(All I taste is saltiness and hint of garlic and shoyu)The noodles were definitely cheap which it's okay not every ramen restaurant has good noodles or wheat noodles for the Tonkatsu. The Pork Belly slices are thick, which is generous, but very chewy I guess could appeal to some, not my preference. On the bright side their fried foods are delicious we had Gyoza and the Shrimp 10/10 and service was good though they forgot to bring us some food we ordered for our toddler to eat.

Not bad, really big portions but the gyoza are NOT good. Also the girl at the register looked like she didn't want to be there or be bothered but she wasn't overly rude.

First time trying this place and it did not disappoint! Spicy Pork Ramen was lovely, just enough heat. Combo Stirfry was an awesome mix of chicken, steak, and shrimp, seasoned well. Pork Buns were delish and the Crab Ragoons were thin and crispy! Excellent portion sizes too! We will be visiting again soon!!
solid.
Got this steak a d cheese sandwich. It was amazingly great! I can't find it on any menus online for the official name, but check out the pic! 100% delicious, thin sliced beef that was juicy and tender, cheese was high quality and the yum yum sauce was great all together. I,very been here before for other things and it was all good, this is another level of good.
