We arrived on a Sunday night, but it was still quite busy. We put our name down and walked around until we were notified that a table was ready. The wait was not too long, only about 20 minutes or so. The restaurant is not large, so we were seated tightly. I ordered the zuru spicy miso ramen (lv.2 medium) and the yasai korokke. The ramen was very lackluster. The broth had no flavor or depth to it besides the fact that they made it spicy. The pork belly was thinly sliced and did not taste marinated. The toppings were mostly disappointing besides the egg. The noodles themselves only tasted alright. This was one of the most disappointing ramen I have had. I tried a bit of my friend's chicken karaage ramen, and that was far worse. The chicken was definitely not marinated as it tasted flavorless. The broth tasted like slightly flavored water at best. The noodles were AWFUL. I do not know what straight noodle they used, but they were flimsy and overly bloated. The only saving grace was the yasai korokke, which was crunchy on the outside but tender and soft on the inside. It was the only dish that had proper taste to it. Although I appreciated the restaurant's niche decorations, the food was disappointing.

We really enjoyed our dinner at Zuru Zuru and would definitely come again for both the ramen and (chicken) karaage app!
Amazing ramen, friendly staff and fast service. This is a go to ramen place for me and my friends.

This is my go to place for ramen. It feels so local and nice. Flavors are good, service is great and fast. I normally come here with friends and family without overpaying.Parking: Street parking and paid parking lot in front.Kid-friendliness: High chairs available
Fantastic ramen!!!! We started with the house salad that has a nice light dressing and the tempura appetizer. I really liked the veggie its onion with zucchini lightly battered We ordered the Spicy Tonkotsu ramen in regular and LG sizes and it very good. I’d only order the LG again if a was super hungry otherwise the regular is big enough. My wife loved the Hell Spicy for her soup and I stuck to medium. Good heat but not making you sweat.

Absolutely love this place. They have huge portions for food that really shouldn't have such big portions. You get a great value for you money, and it's ALL delicious. They close between 2:30 and 5 in the middle of the day, though, which sucks if you get out of work between then and don't want to wait.

One of the very few Ramen places in Boston who serve veg broth and have good veg ramen options. They have spice level ranges, which is nice option and you can make it spicy according to your degree of tolerance. Their cold tofu in soy sauce is also delicious. The only problem is you can't reserve a table here. You need to go there and put your name under waitlist.Vegetarian options: Creamy Truffle mushroom broth.

We ordered two loaded ramen bowls and some takoyaki. The ramen was warm and filled our stomachs, while the takoyaki was juicy and delicious. The place was vibrant and had unique comic-like murals on the walls. The given-menus were also beautifully decorated too! Overall an amazing experience.

I ordered the regular size Miso Ramen, it came with very little noodles and vegetables. The meat was delicious. Overall, the flavor is nothing special and the quantity is disappointing. The value is ok but more food needed to come. The environment was very well decorated, it was full and I waited 15 minutes for a table. The service was quick and the attendant was very attentive.

My fiance and I got the loaded Miso ramen, and it was delish! The food to broth portion is really good, very savory and filling. We also got the pork gyozas which were amazing, super tasty. Even though it was packed when we went, service was amazing and super quick. The atmosphere is very friendly, the restaurant itself is beautiful, definitely a must visit if you're in the area. Pricing is pretty decent, it was around $50 for two loaded ramens and gyozas so I say it's worth it for a nice date night.

The food is always as wonderful as the last time, and I feel extremely confident in bringing others to this restaurant. I always leave with a full stomach and a hankering to return. The atmosphere is beautiful and inviting, even the restrooms are decorated! The staff has always been wonderful and attentive each time I've gone! I've lived in Malden my whole life and can confidently say this is the best restaurant this city has ever had--I hope they stay in the city forever! I can't recommend this place enough!! Truffled Mushrooms Miso Ramen with an egg and extra lotus root is my go-to with their Yuzu Honey drink on the side.
Great service!
