Zen ramen is a small restaurant that feels hidden. They do have a nice outdoor covered area, as well as single seating and group tables inside.
The wait isn't too long , and was only 15 minutes.
The food was extremely good and came out quickly. I had ramen and some sushi rolls. I was able to eat it all and felt full. The prices were quite affordable and competitive.
The service was mediocre and I had to flag then down for more water, but as I understand for Japanese restaurants this is more normal so I didn't dock them for that.
I spoke to people there while I was waiting tog etc in and they loved the place and went their regularly and it seems the staff were good about knowing the regulars and their orders.
If I lived in the area, I believe I would be a regular myself.
Best happy hour after work spot ! The food is absolutely fresh and delicious! Every single thing that we order is always so good! Their drinks are actually really good and strong for $5! It can get really crowded after a certain time and wait times can be long. The servers are also friendly, professional and amazing. First time there we had Wenty and her service was A+. The charge less if you pay cash.
Delicious! We had sushi and the seared trio appetizer! We gobbled up the appetizer before remembering to take a photo. We ordered the Red Phoenix, a Salmon Avocado roll, the Zen roll and a Tuna Avocado roll. The sushi was fresh and tasty! Our server was so kind! We will definitely be back!
Great sushi. Fast service.
Came here with a party of 11 and waited for a table outside. They brought us water right away and took our order. The miso soup we ordered came just a minute later and shortly after we were done with the soup, our sushi had arrived. It was all very good.
Next time I’m back in town, I’d definitely check this place out again.
The food here is so good. Went for my birthday and returned a week later. The seafood ramen is amazing, Shrimp, octopus & squid. Their sushi portions are really good. Outside seating is preferred. Inside can get a little stuffy when they're crowded, which is most days for lunch and dinner.
This is the best restaurant for first time trying sushi and very kid friendly! The service is the best with kind people. The atmosphere is very Japan like. 5/5
Great spot for sushi but didn’t get a chance to try the ramen! There wasn’t enough room inside so we had an outdoor table. It was nice! We ordered a bunch of happy hour sushi which was delicious. Really enjoyed the tempura rolls and the spicy crunch tuna rolls. Everything was presented neatly. The food tasted clean and fresh. Definitely will be going back.
Since we sat outdoors, there was fresh air and pretty clean dining tent/area.
Popped in for a quick bite on a short trip to NYC. Wasn't too hungry but after eating what I'd ordered, almost got more because the sushi was so fresh and yummy!
Even though they seem really busy, the hostess and servers know what they're doing, and service was quick as well as attentive.
Prices are reasonable and as a plus - they give a 10% discount for paying in cash. Would 100% go back if I lived in this city.
Came here randomly and came out really satisfied. The service is very quick I ordered the spicy tonkotsu, sushi rolls and edamame. Everything came out very quickly and the server Tak was very friendly and attentive. Overall every food item was delicious and looks just like the pictures. Will definitely come back here when I return to NYC!
Ordered Sushi to go. The food was delicious. My favorite is Crazy Salmon Roll.
The restaurant is well maintained. The staff were good as well.
