I liked how this place came up with new items and their latest offering won a place in my heart. Now the scale is tipped in their favor and I enjoy their restaurant a bit more than their ramen neighbour because this place also serve a yummy rice bowl on the menu plus they have unlimited garlic chips and overall tastier proteins when I crave tofu & meats.

The quality seems to be fairly consistent, not only at this restaurant, but across Zubu locations. Service (1/1): Service was friendly and effective. Ambiance: Definitely on the modern side. The bar menu reflects this too. Would I come here again: Yes

This location is at Metrotown across the road from Walmart. When our group of 6 came on a weekend,…read morethe place was pretty empty but we still had to wait quite a while for a table together if we didn't want to sit at the hightops or patio. We came just before Happy Hour time so people started gathering behind us. The kids like it here because they get a kids menu with chicken ramen and fries and deepfried chicken and shrimp. It comes with a drink, a toy, and mochi ice cream (+$1) so they know how to market to the kids! I got the Tonkatsu Ramen and it was good, not amazing, but good. The pork slices in the ramen have gotten thinner and not as flavorful as it used to be. They charge autogratuity on groups of 6+. They also have a loyalty program but their site never works.

We came here for dinner and as this place recently added Onigiri Ya Live to their restaurant, we…read morehad a combination of Ramen and Onigiri for our dinner. If you order 3 onigiris you can get a free Veggie Miso Soup. We ordered 6 Onigiris altogether so we got 2 free Veggie Miso Soups at our table. My husband ordered a bowl of Ramen noodles and shared it with our daughter. He ate most of the ramen along with one Onigiri; she had two Onigiris and a small bowl of his ramen noodles. They shared one of the free Veggie Miso Soups. I had 3 Onigiris and one bowl of Veggie Miso Soup. The Onigiris we ordered: Tuna Takowasa Teriyaki Chicken x Avocado Tuna Mayo x Avocado Nasu Peperoncino Seared Cheese x Shiso with Tuna Mayo Filling Seared Cheese x Shiso with Unagi Filling Heard the Teriyaki Chicken Onigiri was "meh". My daughter and husband both said there was something in it that tasted kinda weird. I thought my Nasu Peperoncino Onigiri was also kinda "meh." It had an eggplant filling in it. I liked the idea of the eggplant filling. Something about the sauce they used to flavor it though...perhaps the sauce is wasn't didn't go over so well with me. I think the Nasu Peperoncino could do with a bit of tweaking. It's got some potential though and is one of the only Vegetarian Onigiri options on the menu. The free Veggie Miso soup was actually quite impressive. It was packed with a lot more ingredients than I expected. I was just expecting a regular miso soup with may some tiny bits of tofu and a few pieces of seaweed floating around in the the bowl. Instead I found some pretty sizeable chunks of daikon and mushroom in my bowl, along with quite a few strips of carrot as well. I really enjoyed the soup and will probably make sure not to order anything less than 3 onigiri whenever next I come to this place so that I can make sure to have the free bowl of Veggie Miso Soup again! Hubby raved about the Tuna Takowasa Onigiri. I took a bite of it and was pretty impressed with it as well. Loved my Tuna Mayo x Avocado Onigiri. A bit more Avocado might have been nice but there was plenty of Tuna Mayo in it. Both of the Seared Cheese Onigiris were yummy. More Unagi filling would have been an improvement for mine, but I do understand that these kinds of ingredients can be costly for restaurants. Not the first time I've seen a restaurant skimp on the filling for an Onigiri. Love that you can dine in and eat these Onigiris warm instead of cold from a refrigerator. The Ramen according to my husband was "meh". Kind of a shame as I recall that years ago, when this shop first started out in the West End and was called Marutama, their Ramen was awesome. Seems like the quality of their Ramen has gone downhill over the years as not that long ago we were at the Metrotown location of Maruhachi and the Ramen noodles there were also kinda "meh". This place is kind of hit and miss. Kinda wish I could give it a higher overall rating. There are some really good Onigiri here though, so I would definitely come back for the Onigiri.

I couldn't taste any pork/chicken in the soup base and could only taste salt. The noodles were really bland, like they forgot to salt the water or smth before boiling them. It also seemed like it had been sitting out in the bowl for a while, as they were bunched together and I remember biting into a clump of noodles.

I ordered the tantanmen and it was very tasteless and most of the taste came from the minced pork ball. You'd have to break it apart and mix it with the soup first to get a decent flavor. They also have filipino dishes like adobo (but was crossed out on menu) and halo halo.

It's astounding to see some of these Vancouver-based ramen spots only sitting at 3-4 star ratings,…read moremeanwhile these "average" spots would absolutely demolish any overrated 4-5 star Seattle-based ramen place. The first sip of tonkotsu broth was all I needed to give it 5 stars; dense and flavorful. The black garlic ramen tonkotsu version was mellow without that acidic burnt taste that annoys me. The cut of chashu was variable between tender to more lean. I would've preferred a choice to pick thick ramen noodles with my dish, but they at least offer a free thin noodle refill, which I'll never argue against more food. My son enjoyed his aesthetically pleasing police car bento-style kids meal which came with a gashapon token for a mini prize capsule; overall a child friendly restaurant. They were pretty busy on a the weekend dinner with a waitlist building up, but happy to say that service was still good. Parking is limited, but two blocks away north near the park/library had ample street parking.

So...2 bowls of Vegan Truffle Wonton Ramen at our table. How did I forget about this dish? It was sooo good last time, and equally as good this time. My daughter ordered some takoyaki and a mini bowl of ramen. Her cousin ordered some Brussel Sprouts tempura and some salmon tacos. OK, gotta say the salmon tacos were the one disappointment on our table. No complaints about the taste but they were super small tacos. Don't order the salmon tacos if you're hungry. Or else...if you really wanna try them, make sure to order more food in addition to those salmon tacos. Don't know why I keep on forgetting about this place every time we're in this part of town and have a craving for ramen. Gonna have to try to get back here a bit more often so I can enjoy that Vegan Truffle Wonton Ramen more often!

They were very considerate and marked every order with the person's name so that there is no confusion. Definitely appreciate that! They have so many options on their menu but my friend told me to try their vegan ramen because it is one of the best, so I decided to try it and she was sooo right!! Best ramen I've had in Vancouver!! It had so much flavour and texture. I chose the thin noodles with fresh garlic on the side, I think the thin noodles really soaked up the ramen flavours very well. Also, their portions were SO big but the price was very affordable. I had the ramen over 2 meals! I can't wait to visit them in-person and maybe try their spicy chicken ramen next time!
