This was my first time at Zen Ramen and the service was great. Attentive severs, knowledgeable of the menu and handy with recommendations. The Ramen bowls are really good. I had the creamy chicken and highly recommend! Oh and let me not forget the appetizers. Gyoza - on point; shrimp tempura - too good. BUT the sausage - this is pretty much a hot dog ... a good quality one, but I probably wouldn't order this again. The ambience was also spot on. Asian influences everywhere. Overall.definitely recommend. read more

Went with pretty large group (7 of us). Service was fast and the server was nice. For augusta it's pretty good ramen option. The ramen soup was a tad salty but acceptable. Will definitely be back to try them again and maybe checkout the non ramen options read more

Went during their soft opening. Service was fast and friendly. Server was helpful. Got the potato wrapped shrimp appetizer, really good. For main meal, i got the infernal ramen and husband got miso chicken. Noodles were cooked perfectly. I added more chili oil to my infernal ramen, I thought it was a little on the salty side for the broth but otherwise flavors were there. It was a soft opening so they were likely still working out the kinks. Husband enjoyed his chicken miso as it was. Looking forward to going back and trying other stuff! read more

So happy to have a dedicated ramen bar in the Augusta area. We have eaten here several times now and it's great every time. The first time we went we dined in and our service was a little slow. Everyone else around us got their food in a timely manner so I can only assume that maybe our waiter was new. This didn't deter us though, as our actual food was great. I love the Mayu ramen, anything black garlic, I'm down. My only criticism is that I wish it had cloves of garlic in the broth, but that's personal preference based on other black garlic ramens I've had in the past. We have ordered to go at least 2 times and the carry out process has been great. They package everything up separately so your noodles don't get soggy. We will absolutely return again and again. read more

For me, it's comfort food in a comfort setting. The food is satisfying, the service is smooth, and the place is cozy and cool.

Ok ramen restaurant. Not sure if I'd come back. I find the place expensive. My server was attentive though.

Food: 7 out of 10 Service: 4 out of 5 Atmosphere: 4 out of 5 Price/Value: 3.5 out of 5 Overall: 3.7 out of 5 Recommendations: Potato Shrimp Not a fan of this place. Ramen are on the expensive side but don't live to the prices. The Sapporo miso ramen I got tasted kind of weird and tasted like it was made from powders instead of fresh broth. I will not return and will seek better ramen places in town. read more

I LOVE Ramen . Moved here from Calif where I've eaten Ramen for 30 years . The atmosphere and staff is friendly and welcoming. The interior is definitely done well giving you the feeling of being in Japan. We ordered the vegetarian Ramen and the Mayu Pork Ramen . Both were just ok and edible. I removed my Tofu and didn't eat it because the Then you said grilled so I assumed it was like steamed just grilled a little bit. However, it is definitely fried with a coating so if you like your tofu to absorb the flavors, that's not possible being that it's fried. It's a texture thing for me and I don't care for it at all. The broth vegetarian was excellent more on the creamy side. Whereas the broth on the menu was a pork broth. Again ok! Not terrible but not amazing either . We had two ramens , a shumai app and a sweet tea and out bill was $50 before tip. Would like to see more options on the menu for vegetarians like a rice bowl as well. read more

I've been searching for a good udon since my favorite hole in the wall closed many years ago. I found it. The shrimp was crispy and delicious. The broth was rich and savory. The noodles were absolutely perfect! Husband got the Tonkatsu ramen and it was very good as well. Creamy, rich, everything a good Ramen should be. Our server Lavender was so attentive without being overbearing. Overall we will 100% be back!! read more

Went to Zen Ramen with my girls and left questioning my life choices--mainly why I don't already live there. Kris was attentive and flawless, Tony mixed cocktails that could solve world peace, and the ramen? Pure poetry in a bowl. But those octopus balls... I'm in a full-blown situationship. Can't quit, won't quit. Someone stage an intervention--preferably over another round. read more

I know it's unfair to compare it to ramen in Japan, but don't expect much depth in the broth flavor. Still, it's probably the best ramen spot around here! I went right when they opened in the morning. The broth was lukewarm, but the noodles were piping hot. I plan to visit again next time. The takoyaki was delicious! read more

Finally got to try the new Ramen Place on Washington Road (across from T-Bones). Cozy interior; my wife and I sat at the bar. We split a small seaweed salad and each of us ordered a bowl of ramen. I went with the Mayu and my wife ordered the Inferno which was spiced just right. The food was delicious and plentiful. One bowl wood have sufficed, but now we have some banging leftovers! The soup really hot the spot... We will definitely be back. read more

Zen Ramen & Bar - Inferno & Mayu - Ramen Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

First trip here. It was....ok. Appetizers ordered were gyoza and seaweed salad. Both were very good. Especially, the gyoza. Ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. Mediocre. The broth was very flavorful, thick and rich. The noodles were excellently cooked. However, the eggs were overcooked and bland. The chashu pork was dry and flavorless. Which pretty much sunk the dish. The service was the usual disorganization that's common at Augusta restaurants. We ordered our appetizers. My date noticed that about 10 minutes after we ordered them the kitchen put them in the window and they sat there for several minutes until our ramen was also ready. Hence, they were served to us at the same time as our ramen. That no longer makes them appetizers that makes them side dishes. The weirdest part was our server asked if we wanted drink refills. We said sure. We both had Coke Zeros. She returns with one glass full of soda and says "Which ever one of you gets it first! Ha ha!" and just leaves. I had to pour my date's refill which was messy trying to pour from one cup into another. The table next to us waited 20 minutes for their check. My date noticed several other wait staff looking bewildered and out of their element. It wasn't that busy. It wasn't awful, but I'm not dying to go back. The amount of food wasn't worth the price and I mentioned the service. Ramen is quite a process to cook but I can make better and cheaper ramen at home. read more

What part of the chicken is this? I ordered chicken ramen and pretty sure the circle hunks of meat in my ramen were pork? Or supposed to be... tough look for a new business and overpriced to boot. Wouldn't recommend. read more

I am a huge fan of this restaurant, eating there 3 times in a week to share the food and experience with my coworkers and family. I started with a chicken katsu curry and rice. The curry flavor was typical tasty and savory Japanese curry. But, the chicken katsu was WAY over cooked, hard, and with way too thin chicken. Even after smothering that chicken with the curry to try and soften the panko breading, still hard on the chew. Don't recommend the Chicken katsu. My second trip was with my son for a late nite ramen. I had the Tokyo ramen and son ordered Inferno ramen. I loved the shoyu based Tokyo ramen, we both ordered extra noodle - No complaints from me. Son enjoyed the Inforno ramen but was disappointed the spice level did not warrant inferno - but he loves the flavor. My complaint, the added the extra noodles in the bowl instead of separate, the starchiness of the noodles overwhelmed the broth. That applied for both of us. The Third time, I invited my step daughter. I opted for the Hakata Tonkatsu ramen - delicious. Son ordered inferno ramen again and asked for extra spicy, still wasn't as spicy as he wanted but he loved still, added the pepper flakes on the table, helped but still not hot enough for him. Step daughter loves curry, she ordered it. Thought the experience would be better for her but nope, chicken was still excessively hard batter. She opted to not eat the chicken but loved the curry sauce and had it with rice and was happy. Tried their desserts: frozen chocolate mochi and some cream cake, worth it. So, only complaint with Zen is the panko batter and thickness of the chicken in their chicken katsu curry dish. Other wise great restaurant. read more

Zen Ramen & Bar - Delicious! Wonderful service! Also, tried the potato shrimp app and enjoyed it very much! - Ramen Near Me - Augusta, Georgia

Food is delicious and it's a large portion. They have a full bar even speciality drinks. It's a great date night spot!

I had the inferno Ramen good flavor, not spicy enough for me, but that's a personal opinion

I didn't care for the flavor of the soup of ramen. It is over priced for the quality.

We were seated at the bar and things were fine until we received our ramen and more customers were sat at the bar. We were given forks and were waiting to ask for chop sticks but the bartender was having a difficult time making drinks and taking orders. We gave up and just ate it with forks and while the broth and noodles were fine my chicken was dry and tasteless. The bartender was still struggling and when our neighbors got their ramen they had to ask for silverware and were handed plastic to go silverware as he mentioned they were out of real utensils? Overheard their order was wrong and we had to flag them down to get our check. Maybe if the food was good we would try it out again but I'd rather go elsewhere. read more

Great food, great atmosphere, fantastic and prompt service. Will definitely be back for more Ramen from this gem.

It's a nice place. It's pretty small and has nice decor. The food is really good and prices are pretty good.

The food and service was immaculate. I loved the Mayu Ramen and Chicken Karaage! Thank you guys for opening up!

Food is great and authentic. Stopped by on a busy Sunday evening however, the staff were very attentive and friendly. Our server, Nea, ensured we were well taken care of!!! Will become regulars!! read more

Great service thank you Crystal! She was very helpful in explaining the menu. Loved the ramen, it was delicious, not too salty which is hard to come by these days. It was rich in flavor and such a comforting dish. I added a little chili oil which is provided on the table. Sooo good!! I will be back. With fall approaching I bet they will be very busy! read more

My experience was amazing and the food left me very satisfied. Will be coming back soon. Oh yeah the green tea drink is my new favorite.

The atmosphere was nice and the bar server was very sweet, friendly and attentive. The prices were absolutely too high for the quality of the dishes and the serving sizes. We spend copious amounts of money on good food every week and this was a one time visit for us. Rice is definitely a side, but it's used as a filler. The bowl I had had 4 parts rice, 1 part beef. The chicken katsu was a breaded chicken cutlet with some rice and curry sauce. And the ramen bowl was no more than maybe 2 cups. All perfectly acceptable serving sizes until you get to the price. The Shumai dumplings were more bread than anything and when I opened it there was a pinky nail size piece of shrimp and nothing else. The fried gyoza was over fried and served with a teaspoon size serving of something that may as well have been water. And the chicken karaage was over- fried pieces of flour dusted chicken with zero flavor besides overcooked chicken. $100 with tip and left very disappointed. We had high hopes for another Ramen spot read more
