Creative not your average ramen. Great broths. We tried miso and tan tan. I would do either again. Seems fresh. Small eating area and very casual but comfy. It was a cold day and my only complaint was that cold air rushed in anytime someone opened the door. I would likely sit farther toward the back next time for that reason. Thoroughly enjoyed as did my hubby. read more

I've been here a few times, and I love finding any excuse to come back! It's the best ramen I've had and the service is excellent. The appetizers are also great. I look forward to exploring more of the menu. The place is small and cute with nice music. It's a great date spot! read more

As someone who spent over 14 Years abroad in Southeast Asia finding good ramen here in the states can be tough. I think Kinzen offers a potent solution to this problem. I've been a repeat customer and am happy to say that all of the dishes I have tried here haven't failed me. The service is simple and good. The food is authentic and tasty. You cant ask more from a small resturaunt like this one. I highly reccomend Kinzen to anyone looking for a true authentic ramen experience that beats out competitors pike Sanatouka or Doragon. read more

My partner and I have been searching for a ramen shop and I think we found it!! Terrific broth, noodles were amazing. We had the Karage for Apps and the sauce was great. read more

Not quite too sure if we came on a bad day, but their ramen is mediocre. Not really worth its price. The flavor is bland and their noodles are over cooked. I had ordered a spicy broth, but it was not spicy. The color of the broth is deceiving. Their takoyaki balls were flavorless and very wet. Their chicken wings were ok. read more

Love love love it here. So happy that Kinzen opened right around the corner from us and has now become one of our favorite go-to places for takeout and we even put on real pants to eat in as well! The fact that they have vegetarian versions of everything on the menu is a miracle that I am absolutely here for! We almost always order the yasai gyoza and the yasai ramen with very little changes. I did get the vegetable bun once and that was also delicious. We feel so happy when we come to dine or even pick up our food the women are extremely friendly and always make us feel welcome and appreciated! See you guys soon! read more

Kinzen - Vegetable Bun - Ramen Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

Great food! The spicy ramen is TRULY spicy, tread carefully. Their milk tea is great but the bubbles are a hit or miss.

I stopped by Kinzen for an early dinner recently, which is located in the RK Plaza in Marlborough. This cozy eatery offers full service dine-in or takeout serving up mainly ramen soups and a few Japanese dishes and appetizers. I decided to eat in and I quickly reviewed the menu choices. I went with the Tonkatsu Ramen ($15.95) - Noodles, Pork broth, chashu pork (marinated braised pork belly), menma (Japanese bamboo), wood ear mushroom, scallion and black garlic oil. The food came out hot and fresh in about 10 minutes. This ramen bowl had a good hearty flavor pork broth with firm wider ramen noodles and the pork slices were soft and tender. I finished up the entire soup bowl which was just enough for dinner. The service was prompt since I was the only customer in the place early afternoon. I was also hearing popular music with cover singers played over the speakers. Overall, Kinzen was very good. read more

Kinzen - Spicy miso ramen, added an egg - Ramen Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

We had 3 ramen bowls and gyoza, was delicious. Spicy bowl that I had was just the right amount, and the server was very attentive to my 4yr old without asking. A short menu, but everything was great. I asked for extra bok choy, and the side plate was enough for 2 adult bowls. read more

What a disappointment! Had been meaning to try this place so yesterday on seeing all the positive reviews decided to order the Lava Ramen. I think the cook in the kitchen was not having the best of days it was flavourless, no salt and the broth was eh! They said they didn't scallops so would put in extra shrimps normally it comes with 3 so they 1 extra. I did call them about it but all they did was laugh and said what do u want me to do. Paid $23 for the dish and ended up dumping it. The mussels and shrimp were clearly taken from freezer to pan. No flavour to them whatsoever. Btw I am a former owner of 3 restaurants and was the chef in them! Will definitely not waste my money there again! read more

Sat down with my son and they only gave us only one menu, no water, no utensils. Brought us water after about 10 minutes and I told the server we were ready to order. She did not take our order and stepped away. Waited another 5+ minutes and eventually had to get up to request someone to take our order. Was very clear in ordering gyoza, hot green tea, a spicy miso ramen with egg for myself and a pork ramen with only pork and no other toppings for my son. Brought us out gyoza appetizer, did not provide utensils. After 5+ minutes had to get up to ask them to bring us utensils, gyoza was cold when we finally tried it. When our order arrived they brought us the wrong items - a spicy miso ramen with no toppings and nothing for my son. I indicated the food was wrong and repeated our original order - spicy miso ramen with an egg added, plain pork ramen with no toppings for my son. A second server came back with the same spicy miso ramen with no toppings and a bowel of plain noodles without broth for my son. No one ever brought the hot green tea. We ended up leaving and going elsewhere. Would not ever return. read more

My partner wanted ramen for his birthday meal so we decided to check Kinzen out. I don't eat meat, so we split the yasai gyoza and I ordered the yasai ramen. My partner got the tonkatsu ramen. Everything was delicious and the service was great! We will definitely be back. read more

Best noodle spot around! The Tan Tan is my favorite. Beautiful location and awesome staff! My new fave!

We did not know this restaurant was there, but I am so glad we found it. It is beautiful and cozy inside with some of the best ramen I have found in this area. I ordered the TomTom spicy ramen and added a soft boiled egg. The broth hits you in the back of the throat in a surprising way that was shocking, but in a good way. Once you get over the initial heat you can really explore all the flavor levels that you are experiencing. Warm you to your soul good. I also had a Thai iced tea and it was great, I had never had it before so I can't compare it to any other experience, but it was fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

It's a really cute, small place across the Apex Center. The ramen was super yummy and filling! I got the tonkotsu ramen which had such a rich creamy flavor. I also got the Thai tea that was really refreshing. Keep in mind that it may take a little longer to get some orders going if it gets busy. read more

So far I have been here twice! The food did not disappoint! I also love their takoyaki! That is a must order. Cozy atmosphere, friendly service and good selections of noodles and rice dish if you're looking for something quick! I'll be back! read more

Only been there once, the roman was very good, pork belly melt in your mouth. Definitely will go back to try the others on their menu.

Their phone wasn't working so I drove all the way down here. They told me over 45 minutes to get takeout. Fix your phones.

I recently moved to this area from Boston and have been searching for a good ramen restaurant. So glad that I found this place. This is the best ramen in the area, hands down. The broth is flavorful and they do not skimp on the other ingredients. I have had the spicy miso ramen and the tonkotsu- both are great. The pork buns are amazing too.

I like this place. Good food. Friendly people. A bit small at first with their tables at first glance when you come in, but I saw they have other stools in the back for larger activity. You won't regret coming here, though. Me and my lady friend are definitely making this place one of our weekend favorites to eat at. :) read more

The ramen is very bland tasting and the service is okay. I wouldn't go back for the ramen which is what they're known for

Visiting my family in the 'borough brought us here. We were actually going to grab five guys, and we saw Kinzen next door! Oh my I'm so glad we ate here instead! We ordered gyoza to start, which was fantastic! We both ordered ramen (tonkatsu and spicy something?...I can't recall what my husband had. Both had the cha shu as well. The broth was delicious! I ate most of that first then the ramen. It was amazing. Just what we needed. Now i can't stop thinking if it and crave it so bad! You must go!!! read more

Great Ramen place. Worcester has a couple but this one in Marlboro does a better job with the authentic Japanese environment it is small and cozy. Service was fast. I had the Tonkotsu ramen. The broth was super good and so was the pork belly. It is pricey but which ramen place isn't. I will go back here to try their spicy ramen. My friend tried the chicken katsu and he loved it too. read more

Excellent ramen. The bao was delicious and the service was lovely. I highly recommend!

I would give this place 3 stars for food and 0 for service. We went in Saturday night and the lady who worked there didn't smile or say hi. Absolutely no service. Took our orders. Brought the food. Non existent service but food was good. read more

I freaking love this place. The women working here are awesome and super friendly. The food hits the spot every time. All around solid business and relaxing ambiance/setting. Definitely recommend! read more

Outstanding ramen in an unassuming strip mall location. I had the tonkatsu ramen and my teenage son had the shoyu ramen. Both were excellent. The cha shu pork was excellent, and the broths were delicious. I rarely drink the broth, but felt compelled to, it was that tasty. The noodles were fairly typical in texture, it was the broth and the meat (and quick service) that stood out. I didn't try any appetizers, but I had a green tea and my son liked his Thai iced tea with boba. Service was quick and attentive. We ate in, but it looked like they had a fair amount of takeout customers. I will definitely return! read more

The Best Ramen in Massachusetts! Traveling to Japan many years ago, I l fell in love with eating ramen. Other than California, it's hard to find good ramen in the States. Most "ramen" restaurant are not authentic and so-so taste. Not Kinzen!! read more

Rea Japanese Ramen, really good Tonkotsu Ramen. Good soup, men is just right. Clean place.

The staff is nice but this is the worst chicken ramen I've ever had and I've had a lot of ramen. The chicken is pale and rubbery and the broth tastes like absolutely nothing. I would not recommend it. read more

Another delightful experience here. The food is fantastic and the people that work there are so friendly. I highly recommend to anyone craving good Ramen! read more
