I ordered the Chicken Kara-age ramen with Tonkotsu broth. I thought it had great flavor and the portion was large enough that I was able to get two meals out of it. My husband had the Gyu Don bowl which came with sliced marbled beef, caramelized onion, scallion, pickled vegetables, sesame seeds, and steamed rice. He loved the flavor of the beef and thought it was a good portion. I would recommend Zuru Zuru.

Food (1/2): I've tried several dishes here but I always come…read moreback to either their shoyu or yuzu shio ramen. Their noodles sometime were cooked great while other times it was overcooked. The menma sometimes are soggy but can be adequately crunchy. Their pork also didn't feel amazing but they were good. While every piece of ingredients were just so-so, there's something from the combinations that really made it feel home-y. I think the broth in particular was quite clear and "refreshing" compared to other ramens we have. Service/wait-time/cleanliness (1.5/2): Service was very courteous and friendly. Wait-time can be hit or miss depending on the time. The place was decently clean though I notice occasionally missed-spots here and there. Price (0.5/1): For the price they charge, I think it was pretty good. Definitely will come back whenever I'm craving home-y ramen but will not go out of my way for them.

I already loved the Brookline location. We were 15 minutes away from the Winchester location, so…read moretook the drive. The layout of the restaurant is similar to the Brookline location, with the private booths on the right and special booths on the left, main seating area in the middle, and the bar seating towards the back. Only difference is the Brookline location has those cool matcha whisk structures, while this location has cool honeycomb structures. I would've loved to experience sitting in one of those. I always like to eat spicy so of course I got the Kyushu Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen. As always, broth is so flavorful with the perfect amount of spice. The ramen texture is my favorite, good amount of softness and waviness. The boiled egg is marinated just right, not too salty or sweet. The chashu pork is tender. I wanted to try their version of the spicy cucumbers. It's REALLY spicy. But also very good. The flavor reminds me of the Chinese chili oil sweet potato noodles, very spicy, kind of salty, and a strong taste of vinegar. I love snacking on it. The takoyaki is the best of course, perfectly soft and tender, with thin bonito shavings and great sauce. The fries are essentially seasoned the same way. Salted fries with the takoyaki sauces and bonito. The combo works very well together. Thai tea was good and service was great. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll stop by for another bowl.

Yum!! We went back to Kyuramen, very hungry and eager to try a variety of menu items. We thought…read moreabout trying one of the combo options, but I ended up ordering the curry ramen, and upgrading it for $7 to include a Thai tea and bao bun. The bun was delicious, with tender pork and a flavorful sauce and I loved having the Thai tea to sip on. We also ordered the cucumber salad to share and it was nice and fresh and spicy. My curry ramen was delicious and hearty. My partner ordered the #2 and I really liked the pork in his bowl, I preferred it over the tonkatsu in mine. We ended our meal with matcha tiramisu and during the current promotion, we won an order of popcorn chicken to redeem on our next visit. The restaurant is cozy and they make use of the small space with their honeycomb wall. There are lots of employees working, so service is quick and we were able to call our sever to the table with a button when we wanted to order and pay.

I got the cold beef udon, the signature. Wasn't expecting much, but it was so delicious! I love how they included grated radish and ginger. Small detail but such a huge impact on the overall dish. Would love to come back!

I've been a huge fan of Yume since before covid days and getting to try their new, larger location…read morewas a decent experience, but it does seem to have lost its old spark. I've been a few times to this spot and while the taste is good, it isn't nearly as good as it once was. The space itself is much nicer and larger which is nice. The workers seem less enthusiastic though and they don't customizations anymore - when asking for "the works" on my dish, the person taking my order did not understand the request. It seems a little disappointing that they don't give off as much of a small business anymore. Prices are much higher than they once were and the quality has actually decreased. While I still love Yume as a previous annual pass holder, I do miss what it used to be.

Appreciate the chef's original goal of creating the best ramen within 1,000 operating days, and the fact that Tsuumen is still open.

Fish cakes were small and perfectly uniform - almost like they were frozen rather than prepared on site. Green curry had some spice but was mostly one note, there just wasn't much depth of flavor. Vegetables were all cut in huge hunks - both dishes had giant pieces of red bell peppers and onions. Fried rice was pretty bland and barely had any Chinese broccoli in it. Ambiance was bare bones - you order at the counter and they bring you your food and plastic side plates. Half the tables were stacked with boxes and bags of takeout orders. To top it off there's no bathroom, we were told to use the bathroom at another local business. If I'm gonna spend $60 somewhere, I expect to be able to wash my hands before eating and use the restroom. Perhaps there are some specialty dishes that we didn't try but this was my 2nd time ordering from here (I got take out once before) and both times the food was pretty bland. A truly underwhelming experience - especially when there are so many better restaurants in the area.
