Overall it is fine, friendly environment and not too crowded, food is ok. On the low side, I experienced slow service and uncomfortable seating. We were a group of 12 people and a couple of dishes arrived after everyone finished their food. The wooden chairs are a bit high for children and after 30 minutes of being sitting they start to feel uncomfortable.
The downtown location is awesome, this location was not. It took 15+ minutes for our server to bother taking our order after we put down the menus and pushed them aside. It took a similar amount of time to get our bill, we had to ask twice for water, just basic inattention to detail, while he hung out at the bar checking his phone and chatting with kitchen staff. The flavour of the food was good and quality too, but our soup was served almost cold and with almost no broth. When we requested more, we were provided barely a few tablespoons. Are the restaurants margins broth driven?
We had a fantastic time at Zubu Ramen! Their standout dish, the Spicy Chicken Ramen, caught my attention, while my partner opted for the Vegetable Ramen . Both dishes were surprisingly filling, and it was enjoyable discussing their flavors together. We also added seasoned eggs to our order, which enhanced the experience for me as a first-timer. For starters, we savored the pan-fried vegan gyoza. To round off my meal, I indulged in a Hayu Mojito. Overall, the experience was delightful, and I'm definitely looking forward to returning for more delicious meals in the future!
No.1 ramen on my list, better than any other famous ones! The soup is full of flavor and aroma and but light and not overly salty.
I'm not particularly fond of Ramen, but I don't mind having it occasionally with friends. Recently, I visited Zubi Ramen for dinner. I opted for the spicy vegan ramen while my partner chose the spicy chicken ramen. Surprisingly, I didn't find the ramen spicy at all. It was decent in taste, although, as mentioned, I'm not a huge fan. We also ordered the vegetarian Gyoza as an appetizer, which I really enjoyed. The condiments, especially the hot sauce, complemented the ramen well. As for drinks, I ordered a Hayu Mojito, expecting a blend of pineapple, lime, and mint flavors, but unfortunately, I could only taste the mint, with no hint of the other flavors.
It's my local go to spot, love the food, atmosphere and service. Alvin and Vanessa and the rest of the team make you feel at most welcome and at home every time I go.
