The spicy chicken ramen is superb... the noodle has a elastic texture and the soup base has a simply wonderful taste. I love the thin noodle, which is more chewy than the fat one. The marinated soft boiled egg is also very tasty and is a mist try. Staff has an excellent service attitude and is very helpful with customers questions. Ambience is clean, quiet and relaxing. Overall a Grade A restaurant. read more

Went here with my family for lunch today and we had a great experience! Didn't have to wait too long for a table, and we were able to sit with our dog at one of their outdoor tables. All of the servers were helpful, friendly and service was quick. One of the waitresses brought some water for our dog too (: The food was so good!! My mom and I both got ramen combos which come with shoestring fries, house salad, and dessert. I got spicy chicken and my mom got tonkotsu kuro. My brother got the tonkatsu aka ramen. We got the pan fried pork gyoza to share and all of our food hit the spot. Amazing service and food for decent prices! read more

Probably my favourite Ramen spot. Good selection of menu options, it's nice that they include some appatizers that are fairly decent such as the fried chicken or gyoza's. The Appetizers are a bit small, assuming that you're eatting with a big bowl of ramen but seems a tad over priced for what you get. The Ramen itself has a high level of quality and a ton of options for customizing. Although a few times I order the jammy egg and it's more hard boiled than jammy. A tad dissapointing. Biggest issue is the menu. I've seen some Zubu's carry dishes like a fried chicken ramen but then the Kerrisdale location won't have it. Makes for a confusing ordering process if you order or see a dish at one but not another. Would be like if you saw a Big Mac at McDonalds but another one didn't have it. Kinda odd! read more

great ambiance and service... love the food i went in with my mom at an hour that's not so busy so the experience was good read more

This is based on just one item plus it was take out, which I don't think should be done with ramen.

Noodles has texture, and soup base has flavor and very good. Meat portion a little small. Will definitely come back if we need ramen.

Tasty delicious Ramen! My son loves to eat Temaki, the Ebi Shrimp is soooooooo good. Worth every penny. Our go to spot for lunch in Kerrisdale. read more

The food is amazing and delicious! I had a dream of the Brussels sprouts ramen. They were perfect. I just want to eat it all the time.

Got the Tonkatsu Shiro ramen. Honestly wasn't expecting much but it was a solid 3/5 bowl of ramen. A tad too much oil for my liking. They also didn't give us an egg or bamboo that usually comes with other similarly prices ramen dt. The chashu was good. Too bad they give you 2 tiny slices. We got it for takeout and they packaged it well. read more

ZUBU - Tonkatso Shiro - Ramen Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

The ramen is excellent here. The noodles are perfectly cooked however I found the broth to be incredibly salty. The happy-hour dishes, however were decently priced and very tasty. The service was good, the servers were attentive to our table and refilled our waters and took away our dishes very fast. read more

Zubu Ramen is the best noodle spot you will ever encounter in Vancouver. First of all, the appetizers they have are always incredibly delicious. For example, the French Fries with the Nori Sea Salt tastes amazingly crispy. The Sea salt is from Japan while the Truffle Ketchup is all the way from Italy. Next, my personal favorite is the chicken ramen, which has tender chicken chashu, chewy kikurage (wood ear), green onion and crispy onion. The beautifully tender noodles come coated in a rich and dense ramen soup. Then comes the service of the restaurant. The service there is amazing, they greet you in Japanese words when you come in, they order right away and say your dish when delivering your ramen or appetizer. The modern technology at the restaurant helps provide customers with swift and quick service. For example, the waiters have iPads so that they can order online and send it to the cooks speedily. The building is very modern with bright lighting. There are also music speakers above your table. In my opinion, the music is also very enjoyable, in a comfortable volume. read more

Stumbled upon a new restaurant in Metrotown area! This ramen place has a nice variety from ramen, to their appetizers and they even have temaki hand rolls! * Tonkatsu kuro ~ the noodles are good as it's chewy and not too soft! The broth is rich and flavourful. The soup base is a bit oily but not too much which is not bad. The chasiu was chewy, but it lacked a bit of tenderness. It wasn't as tender as I thought it would've been and it didn't melt in my mouth. Wish there was another piece of chasiu there was only 1 and a half pieces of it in the bowl. The portion is not bad. It's not big though compared to some places. * Takoyaki ($) ~ really delicious, it was crunchy, and flavourful. I love the sauce they use and I love how much bonito flakes is in the dish! The balls were perfectly cooked on the inside, and the octopus in the takoyaki is a very good size! 100% recommend trying this! * 7.5/10 ~ the noodles were good and chewy and the takoyaki is delicious. Did wish the chasiu was more tender and soft it was a bit stiff and hard. * 7/10 ~ the portion is ok la, it's not big but for lunch it's pretty filling. Not for dinner though. You can make reservations on the phone! Total bill before tip: $24.15 read more

I went to this place for lunch on Canada Day. In that day, I ordered the Tonkotsu Kuro Ramen. The Ramen tasted ok. The broth tasted like a pre-made from a can and it was a bit salty for me. The noodle was good in texture but it taste like instant Ramen noodles. Overall, the dish was a typical franchises Ramen noodle and I was disappointed of how they put the ingredients together for $15 dish. read more

Great Ramen. I eat at the Kerrisdale location pretty regularly. They have a nice patio out back in the summer.

Zubu is a solid ramen spot with good customer service. It's not the best ramen you'll ever have in your life in Vancouver, but it satisfies all your cravings. read more

They restaurant give a great feeling to me as a shy customer with their dark accent and low light. It helps out so much that their Ramen lives up to their word. They had such a long line after I entered in the morning and the entire day through they never slowed down as the line stayed longer and more people came out with good feelings. read more

Good selection of ramen and combos. The soju cocktails were also very refreshing. Would come here again.

This was a horrible experience...I ordered take out soup and I found a ROCK in my soup...they took no responsibility and caused me of lying..please be careful folks!! read more

Solid food. I had a Ramen with pork and basil. The serving speed is solid. But the price is a bit high tho. read more

Came here to eat with my bestie. For a Japanese eatery in Kerrisdale this wasn't bad at all. We had the beef and chicken bowl and some of the fried chicken nuggets. Prices were market value for what it was. the bowls were a good price and the service was friendly. read more

Pretty standard ramen. It doesn't try to be something it is not. Tonkatsu Aka is our consistent go to. Bonus: They are open till 10. Restaurant is open for more of the later hours. Would come again. read more

Been on a mission to try every ramen joint in the city. Came here on a Friday night and surprisingly not very busy at 8pm. Got a table in the corner and started with a pot of the Yuzu tea. Very tasty but a tad too sweet for my liking (didn't know it was a sweetened tea.) Ordered two ramen bowls and a side order of karaage chicken. A couple came in and sat at the table beside us. They were served, drank, ate, and left. We had only been given our side order. Almost an hour later, the ramen arrived. We did receive a verbal apology. I think they must've lost our order. Luckily we really enjoyed our meals but I deducted a star for the super slow service and not calculating the bill accurately. The servers were very nice though. read more

Ordered the chicken ramen through Uber Eats. Was absolutely awful. Only a quarter of the bowl was full. Tasted rancid. $28 for garbage. Wil never order from them again. read more

Zubu took over the location from Jinya, and kept the exact same interior, so I expected the quality of food to be the same as well. But I have been disappointed time and time again. I live nearby so I have been a few times. The portions are mediocre, very stingy with the meats/wontons and very inferior to Jinya overall. Would not go out of my way to go there. read more

Stopped in for dinner before a show - I was impressed! Excellent service, very polite wait staff, food arrived quickly and was flavourful. Katsu ramen was a decent sized meal but a bit smaller than what is served at most ramen restaurants, citrus passion cocktail was a delight. read more

The Spivey creamy vegan ramen is amazing!!! The service is fast and they have done a great job social distancing ppl. Definitely recommend.

Restaurants need us to be kind to them right now. Opening a new place is hard. Opening a new place during a pandemic takes guts. I avoided ZUBU during its opening month because I read reviews about lineups, long waits for food, wrong orders, cold food etc etc. Lots of people were unimpressed, hungry and grumpy. Fast forward to phase 3, our new normal. I was treated by friendly wait staff, masked but with smiling eyes and friendly voices. They showed us the QR code for leaving our contact details and the menu. Tables were socially distanced, hand sanitizer was plentiful. Onto the food - I had mazesoba and it was solid. I wasn't a fan of the chopped pork (too fatty for me) but the flavours and heat were good. Michelin Man had the tonkatsu shiro and it was also solid. Nothing spectacular or outstanding but reasonable food for $14.50 per bowl. If I'm in Kerrisdale, I would eat there and try the temakis. I felt safe, staff were attentive and appropriate, hence the extra star. Good luck ZUBU. read more

Highly recommend this place! Quick take out order, good packaging, friendly and helpful staff, and a menu I want to taste everything from. I got the kuru ramen and it was delicious. Only reason for a missing star is that the egg was an additional $2 and I'm used to at least a half egg included or something else to make the ramen special. read more

To be completely upfront, we did not eat there. We had made 6pm reservations earlier in the day and arrived exactly on time. We came inside and nobody greeted us or even looked our way for 3-4 minutes. Finally someone came over and we gave him our name. He looked at his ipad and then without saying a word to us, walked into the kitchen where he proceeded to collect some bowls and serve them to customers. Then a woman came by, asked us for our name which again we gave and then she, too, just walked away without any explanation. Finally a third man came over and apologized and said they'd given away our table and it would be a 20 minute wait. Honestly, mistakes happen and that I can understand but it was the customer service that was so shocking - how hard is it to just say, "I'm sorry, let me go check on that for you." But for TWO people to just walk away without a word made us feel as though we were not at all appreciated as customers. I'd never go back and I highly encourage the manager to talk to their staff about this. It was incredibly rude. read more
