    A teeny tiny little ramen (and more!) restaurant with pretty good bites, an excellent lunch spot, but that doesn't stop a dedicated dinner rush from happening in the evening. The Lunch Specials are real stand out deals for a nice casual mid-day break. Personally, I've been a fan of the Tonkotsu (can't beat a good solid classic) and the cheesy katsu curry with a little takoyaki appetizer (ironically probably best left to cool off during the duration of the meal and enjoyed at a non-inferno temperature like a savory dessert. I don't hold this against Ramen Zuru as I know most takoyaki is served at blistering temperatures. Just take it in stride as certification of being freshly made.) The cheesy katsu curry is a good, solid, guaranteed-leftovers meal (Unless you're some serious sort of hungering). The little patch of salad that comes on the plate is so yummy with its dressing. The amount of rice is balanced to the curry. And the cheese? Oh, girl, the cheese. Not much drink variety but that's fine, it's the food that really stands out here. Now, to be fair, a little word to the wise for those with a little cushioning on their thighs: Those little rectangle chairs WILL get uncomfortable. It's usually better if you're wearing something that covers your skin, but I've gone in shorts before and that was a certified Ouch. If you don't want to risk gauging your pain tolerance, opt for the high table or the bar, love yourself.

    Chicken Katsu Curry

    I love this place. The prices are good, and the food is always delicious. My favorite is the chicken katsu curry, the chicken is very crunchy and the salad it comes with is good too! The ramen tastes good and all portions are pretty large. I was not a fan of the cat pudding taste, but it was very cute.

    Ramen Zuru is cool. I came on a Thursday night and there was no wait. We started with the chicken karaage ($8.50). Honestly, they were giving more popcorn chicken than karaage. The chicken came in more bite sized pieces and the batter was fluffier. I topped mine with the chili oil and they were delish with the added heat. I ordered the spicy green curry ramen ($13.95) because how could I not. It's a green curry broth, pork chashu, bean sprouts, fried shallot, coconut milk and chili oil. The broth was unlike anything I've ever tasted before. It's light, but distinctly curry in flavor. I'd like to add that the chili oil is not for the faint of heart - it's spicy, and more spicy. Thank goodness for that bean sprouts which helped with the cool down. We also tried the miso ramen ($13.95) which was good, but nothing to write home about. I really liked my meal at Ramen Zuru. It was easy, tasty, and relatively cheap. Highly recommend trying the spicy green curry ramen if you're looking for a new take on ramen.

    My friend and I stopped by Ramen Zuru for a weeknight dinner and left feeling satisfied. Although the name of this spot has ramen in it, they also have curry and rice bowls on the menu in addition to the ramen. I opted for the chicken katsu curry which came with the chicken katsu itself, curry, rice, and a side salad. Overall, I thought it was an enjoyable meal. The portions were decently sized and I was even able to bring leftovers home. I wouldn't say that this is the best curry katsu I've ever had, but it definitely hits the spot if you're craving it! The restaurant itself is on the smaller end, but there's definitely a cozy ambiance that gives me Japan vibes. Service was friendly and we were checked up on often. It is located in the same plaza as 99 ranch market, so there's plenty of parking in the lot.

    Tiny hole in the wall in the shopping plaza. Great for a rainy day some ramen. I got the miso ramen. Id give it a 8/10. The broth was very flavorful and the chasu was delicious & fatty.

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Michael Z.

    Ordered myself the Tonkotsu Ramen with extra chasu and egg while my wife ordered herself a chicken katsu. Let's just say the bowl did not stand a chance. Server was very nice and attentive. Immediately brought us water while we decide what to get. As far as the overall appearance of the establishment. It gives you a typical modern hole in the wall restaurant. Very small with limited seating. The artwork on the wall is definitely unique in a sense that if you are a Pokemon master, you'd probably ask for those art work to go. We will definitely come back!

    Just an ordinary ramen. Ordered their lunch special. Came with free drink. Broth is creamy and not salty. Noodles is al dente. Fast service. Place is clean and lots of parking.

    Miso Ramen (toppings on the side)
    Diane C.

    One of our go to whenever we crave for ramen. Inside is relatively small with 4-5 tables and a bar area- intimate spot but delivers big on taste, offering a variety of traditional ramen dishes and delicious rice meals. The ramen here is a really good, with rich broth and perfectly cooked noodles that will transport you straight to Japan. But it's not just about the ramen. Their rice meals are equally impressive. The chicken katsu with curry is crispy and tender (always a hit with the kids), while the chashu bowl brings a savory, melt-in-your-mouth experience that will have you coming back for more. One of the best parts? From 11:30 AM to 4 PM daily, all ramen and rice meals come with a complimentary drink - a perfect way to cool off or enhance a meal! The service is also quick and friendly, ensuring that you don't have to wait long to indulge in your meal. Whether you're a ramen connoisseur or just looking for a satisfying meal, Ramen Zuru offers the kind of Japanese comfort food that's hard to beat. Highly recommend!

    Tonkatsu ramen, Takoyaki and Chicken Curry Katsu
    Missy M.

    We forgot to take a before photo because we were so excited to eat, and it did not disappoint! We ordered takoyaki, tokatsu ramen and chicken katsu curry - all very delicious. We particularly love the rich broth of the tonkatsu ramen and the chashu topping was killer! Melts in your mouth porky goodness

    Had a quick early dinner here and it was pretty decent! Had their shoyu ramen and my husband got their tonkatsu. I really enjoyed the chicken ramen, it was delicious! It was very hearty, full of meat and veggies and broth was tasty. I really liked the noodles as well. Will def be back to get this again. They have a good amount of things in the menu that would be great to try next time. Service is pretty good too, nice servers and food came out timely. Overall decent ramen place around Artesia! It's def worth a try.

    Vegetarian Ramen
    Melanie G.

    Checked out Ramen Zuru this past Saturday night around 7 and was able to be seated right away (though it did get full throughout the rest of our dinner!). Server was very kind! I got the vegetarian ramen. The broth itself wasn't standout, just a more clear and salty broth. The noodles were very good and they gave a lot. They gave a fair amount of tofu, it just didn't taste of much. The added greens and mushrooms were appreciated! I wish they fried the cauliflower differently too. Overall, a good bowl of ramen and cheaper than a lot of other ramen spots nowadays, but nothing special.

    Chicken Karaage Bowl
    Stephanie C.

    This place is amazing. I came in around 8pm, an hour before closing. The place is small but we were the only ones there and the vibe was very chill. The food is flavorful and just delicious. We ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen and the Chicken Karaage Bowl. The broth of the ramen was rich and creamy, the chashu pieces (2) were full of flavor, and the marinated soft boiled egg was perfect. The chicken in the bowl was nicely seasoned and perfectly fried, great crunch. There are chopsticks, napkins, chili oil sauce, chili powder, and soy sauce already on the table which is very convenient, no need to wave anyone down. I came here based on the other reviews, and the negative reviews I read are such BS after coming here myself. I'd recommend everyone to try this place out, 10/10. Not sure how the ambiance is earlier in the day when it's busy, but the evening was nice. Great food and even greater prices. Already planning my next visit!

    Tonkotsu Ramen
    Kimberly B.

    Great local spot for ramen and other yummy Japanese foods. I've been here twice now and enjoyed both times. My husband likes the curry and I like the tonkotsu ramen. I ask for my soup to be extra hot because the soup temp during my first visit wasn't as hot as I like. The servings are good size for the price and they have a free drink offer when you dine between 11:30a to 4p. The service is friendly and attentive. I will be back!

    We are looking forward to visiting your restaurant this week. We were wondering if had peanut free options at you restaurant?

    Hi Renz, we sincerely apologize for your inconvenience. The restaurant was closed for one week due to my wife having a baby. Somehow there was a glitch in the online system and it was still active when we shut it off. We have actually emailed you… 

    Do you offer gluten free noodles?

    Unfortunately, we do not have gluten free noodles at the moment. Sorry about that.

    Do they use MSG? Due to allergy to MSG. The smart guys who decided to give their dissertation about MSG and xenophobia are not physicians?

    Why do you have vegan options on your yelp but when I called I was told the ramen is not vegan because it has egg in the noodles?

    the rice bowl is vegan

    Do they use MSG?

    They might not but you should educate yourself about MSG. MSG is in most of the foods you eat daily. Like chips, cheese and meats. MSG is not bad for you. It's made up by the western culture and stems from racism (Chinese restaurant syndrome).… 

    I'm a vegetarian and allergic to onion and garlic unfortunately, is the vegan ramen made w/o any of the said above?

    Ramen broth almost always contains garlic. FYI.

    In the vegetarian/vegan ramen, is there onion/garlic in the ingredients?

    Onion and garlic is in all ramen.

    Is the restaurant still under soft opening period? Any menu/pricing post?

    Yes it's still under soft opening now and subject to change

They're located in a high foot traffic plaza, so finding a spot can be a hit or miss. Ambiance/Environment: They have a small indoor space with a decent amount of indoor seating. Very casual and chill. I visited on a weekday, so it wasn't too busy. Service: I was greeted right when I entered. She asked if I had any questions and offered help. There's two self ordering kiosks. You can also order takeout. Throughput took a little over 10 minutes. Food: I ordered the Rosemary Chicken Katsu Sando with baja chipotle sauce and waffle fries. Their sandos are my favorite menu items. Perfect for lunch. The chicken katsu was fried and seasoned deliciously. The bread was milky and light. The waffle fries tasted as expected. My only tip is try to eat the sandos asap. Otherwise the bread might get too soft. I really wanted the strawberry sandos for dessert, but they were out of stock that day. Highly recommend trying the sandos! Pricing: They have daily deals at an extremely affordable price. Honestly everything on their menu is worth its price. Will definitely be visiting this small chain again!

The flavor of the broth was decently strong, not the spiciest I've had but not the weakest. It was quite filling for the both of us and adding the noodles towards the end helped fill up the pot overall. The interior of the restaurant has plenty of seating with booths and tables. Service was friendly and helpful. Overall it's a decent spot for hot pot with friends and family with plenty of broth options to choose from and add ons as well.

How could you mess up the rice??? Next I ate a piece of sushi. Again rice was hard. How can a sushi chef so scoops the rice with their fingers not know the rice is hard??? Guess the extra water they added to the miso soup came from the water that should have went to the rice!!! It's sad when the only thing I enjoyed from my bento box was the salad. The fish was decent, but impossible to enjoy when you eat it without rice. Not sure I'll be going back. Cerritos is a very competitive location for Japanese restaurants. I'll be giving my business to other locations going forward. Guess when I walked in at 7:30 and only one other table had 2 people eating, I should have known it was a bad sign. Years ago, I used to have to wait for a table at that hour. Sad that something as simple as making rice is obviously too difficult for this restaurant that specializes in sushi.
