Best ramen i have ever had! Service was great too, all the servers were very vigilant and kind despite the extremely busy hours. Place is a bit small so be prepared to wait during peak hours- totally worth it.

They've nailed the general ambience of authentic ramen shop. But I couldn't shake the feeling of another cookie cutter western ramen joint, and the food proved me right. The portions are on smaller side and the sipcy level is just gimmic. My glass of ice water was untouched after finishing "hell level" ramen.

Zuru Zuru is a great spot overall, with good food and a friendly, helpful staff. While I’m not much of a ramen fan, I usually get the rice bowls, and they’re pretty good. They offer three options: karaage (Japanese fried chicken), beef, and chashu pork, all of which have their own unique flavors. One standout appetizer we tried was the corn cheese—it was excellent! Just a heads up, it gets really busy during dinner, so expect a wait if you have a larger party. I recommend...
