I really liked their timely service and the haste of how food was served. We didn’t have to wait more than 10 min for our ramen. It was tasty and fresh. The waiters were super prompt and refilled my water glass without hesitation.
This was the best bowl of rahmen I have had in the metro. Everything is hand made. The noodles are perfect,the broth is perfect. The atmosphere and service were wonderful. I would drive two hours for this rahmen.
Zen Ramen is a ramen shop in Maplewood next to Golden Corral. Firstly the recent demise of so many Japanese restaurants (with Ramen): Zen Box Izakaya (my fav), Masu, United Noodle Deli, and previously Origami and Tanpopo, makes me cherish the fact that we have MN establishments that will put in the time and make real tonkotsu broth. (See my previpus reviews on Ramen establishments.)

Zen Ramen offers a great dining experience with its attentive and polite staff, nice atmosphere, and clean ambiance. The menu features delicious dishes like Beef Lo Mein, Tonkotsu Ramen, and Donburi, which are flavorful and generously portioned. The restaurant also offers a variety of boba options and a kids' menu, making it a family-friendly spot. Customers have noted the delicious boba drinks and the option for vegetarian dishes, including a vegetarian broth for the Ramen.
Many customers describe the restaurant as a "hidden gem" with a "very peaceful and refreshing" vibe. The signature pork broth in the Seafood Ramen is highlighted as a standout, with its rich flavor and the use of homemade noodles. The "build your own sushi bowl" and the pork bun are also popular choices. Recent reviews praise the timely service, fresh food, and handmade noodles. The Spicy Beef Ramen has a rich tonkotsu broth, flavorful and tender beef, and custom made ramen noodles. While some have mentioned feeling a little rushed during busy times, Zen Ramen remains a good stop in the area for a nice hang, with super amazing food at unbelievable prices.
