Best noodle bowl I’ve had outside of NYC. You can tell they take their time making that broth thick and flavorful. I can’t wait to go back!!!

Maru Ramen is like a dream for Ramen lovers and Naruto fans! The walls are lined with new vibrant artwork from the popular anime: Naruto, connected with their amazing food. The Shoyu and Tantanmen had such rich and flavorful broths paired so well with the toppings and noodles!! The Katsudon and Tempura-don also melts in your mouth. The spicy bulgogi was everything and above! The tender meat with the savory bulgogi sauce was delicious. Everything was great whether your here for the anime or just incredible ramen , Maru Ramen delivers.

Tonkatsku? Idk how to spell it 😂 it was good, not the greatest but it was good, ended up happy. Although my wife was disappointed because of the flavor of the mushrooms, and tofu consistency. I loved the place and I probably would go back because of the draws and the price. But I think vegetarians options are not that good. Love Naruto’s draws

Was craving ramen on our trip and i had my hopes up due to the high reviews. The first warning was there when i opened the menu though with you seeing ramen, korean dish, pho, and bunch of other things listed. Generally when they try to do too much it means they dont have main dish they are really digging into. Good ramen spots would focus on just ramen and simple apps like gyoza. I orderd a tonkatsu ramen which is a staple. The broth was disappointing and didnt have the depth. It was overly salty and i think they were trying to make up for the lack of deep aged broth with condiments. Chashu porks were overly dry and the egg was overcooked. I ended up leaving aboug half the ramen. Hall was bit dirty and the one server seemed very overextended. I don't mean to be too harsh though, seemed popular enough with a lot of customers. The price was very cheap and budget friendly as well. Maybe i have been spoiled by Ichiran and other ramen spots in nyc.

Tonkatsu was decent, soup is not hot enough. They have pho but difference from ramen is the noodle. Lots of Naruto drawings… pretty cool.

Used to be the best ramen in Ithaca and I had it more than 20 times. From 2 years ago the quality dropped to the ground. What a shame. For example, they used to use actual chashu now they just cut off a piece of defrosted (yes, I can taste it) pork shoulder or something. Pure disgust. They should be ashamed of themselves.
Spicy seafood ramen and tantan ramen is so so delicious!!! The best sushi in Ithaca too, I highly recommend the spicy crab sushi roll!!!

The ramen and katsu curry were awful. Worse than inauthentic, they didn’t even look or taste like the cheap Americanized versions.

Loved it and loved our server for her charm and speediness. We had a 8:10 movie to catch and she entered our order in to accommodate. I want to try the different ramen now.

The spicy seafood ramen was mediocre and pricey given the size. Also, the mushroom bao was…odd tasting. And the bathroom was gross.
