    Tan tan men togo order
    Kourtney W.

    Ordered some ramen togo! .. service was quick and easy. Placed my order with the server and my togo was ready in less than 10 minutes! The restaurant is beautiful .. plenty of seating but the best seating is the communal table in the middle that gorgeous! Got home and ate my ramen.. I ordered the tan tan men with no green onions.. the broth is rich and the noodles and toppings were delicious! The egg was cooked just a little soft inside! So good! Will have to eat inside next time!

    Not too bad of a place! Really spacious with plenty of tables inside. Plenty of ramen options, some appetizers. Service was okay. Ordered seafood ramen and it was pretty decent. Would come back!

    Theres no doubt that Elk Grove/ Sacramento has been the chilliest it's ever been! Ok, maybe im overexaggerating. Let's get some ramen. Maru has been our go to for our ramen fix in the area. I always enjoyed my doing experience here, however recently it's just been mid and the customer service has been lacking. We walked in for lunch, and the server said have a seat at any table. When we say down, she immediately yelled " Small table!" and made a big deal about us having to move tables. After this happened, she allowed a caucasian family of 2 sit in the same table she asked us to move from. Once our food came, I immediately noticed how oily my soup and eggplant looked. The oil was all I could taste in my soup making it very unappetizing. Overall, I still think Maru is a good option in town , but they really need to improve on some things.

    Gyoza, yummy!

    On a cold Saturday night, ramen sounded really good. I've seen this spot every time I get Thai Chili. So, I decided to give this a place a try. Super cute decor and very opened, staff were friendly. We were greeted and seated shortly. Everything we ordered was good, except for the shrimp tempura. The shrimp tempura must have been frozen and then deep fried. It didn't taste fresh and there's a flat surface, which you typically do not get or see at other Japanese or Ramen restaurants. Either way, we enjoyed the ramen and will return. FYI- this ramen spit is connected to moo moo, save some room for boba.

    Maru Ramen bar is still my go to Ramen spot in Elk Grove, despite living on the opposite side of the city it's still worth the drive for me. I've had several of their different broths and they are all delicious, fully flavored and rich in depth. Noodles are cooked to perfection. Maru ramen bowl came with all the bells and whistles as far as toppings go extra meet, ramen egg. This spot is consistent unlike a few other local spots I e been to. Service here is quick, if you come here on a weekend when they open for dinner you can probably still snag a spot although the place still gets busy. Very modern in design and decor and well lit. Compared to other typical ramen spots. Cute seating that centers around a tree in the middle of the store that's typically decorated for the season.

    We came on a weekday for lunch and ordered pork cheek ramen and maru ramen. The wait wasn't long for food to be served. The portion was quite big, and they gave generous portions. The pork cheek was easy to eat and chew. I quite enjoyed it. The noodles' texture wasn't too hard to bite. My hubby enjoyed his Maru ramen bowl, with lots of toppings. The staff was friendly. The restaurant is connected to Moo Moo Tea Shop if you want to get a drink.

    The ramen is absolutely stellar here. Elk Grove has gone 3 for 3 in exceeding my ramen expectations, and I might just avoid Sac altogether to play it safe at this point. I ordered the Akamaru with Spicy Tonkotsu Broth and asked them to crank up the spice level. I enjoyed the chashu more than anything else, as it tasted tender and nearly melted away in my mouth. The noodles have a nice semi-firm texture. The broth? Good lord, I was burning up from the spice but couldn't stop going at it. Part of this praise undoubtedly comes from the primal hunger of skipping lunch that day, but make no mistake -- Maru is where it's at.

    This was my first time coming here. I ordered the Maru ramen which was different it came with pork cheek. I thought it was actually pretty good. My friend got the seafood ramen and thought it was okay. Service was pretty fast. The place was big and spacious and had plenty of seating. Their connecting boba shop was next door too if you in the mood for a cold drink after.

    Ramen was very favorable and portion was good and filling. Fries and garlic noodles wasn't too bad. Private parking lot. Service was good. Good for small and large parties. We went during lunch and it was pretty slow and quiet.

    Akamaru (spicy)
    Sommaly L.

    Amazing ramen spot! Would def come back! Easy parking and easy to find. Inside, it's spacious, beautifully decorated and staff is nice. We ordered 2 bowls of ramen, spicy pork cheek, and tonkatsu! Creamy broth omg!!! Chasu is huge!! And flavor on point !!!

    WHY WE WENT HERE: - lunch on a rainy day THE LOOK (FROM THE OUTSIDE): - located in a plaza off Elk Grove Blvd in between Elk Ridge Way and Emerald Oak Dr - located in the same plaza as Dollar Tree THE LOOK (FROM THE INSIDE): - vibe of the decor gives me a cross between cabin chic, farm, and industrial THE MENU: - ramen - ramen toppings - sides - chix wings - garlic noodle - refreshments - sake - beers on draft - draft beer pitcher WHAT WE ORDERED: - bulgogi fries - soy garlic glaze chix wings - tonkotsu black ramen - Maru ramen THE TASTE: - bulgogi fries could easily be a rice bowl; tasty - soy garlic glaze chix wings was the clear favorite; however, the sauce was watery vs. sticky on the wings - ramen bowls felt particularly heavy; more meaty than other bowls of ramen we've had CUSTOMER SERVICE: - very minimal; we were the first and only customers at the time we dined in (which was just after they had opened for the day)

    Good vibe! They have J-Pop playing in the dining area to add to the feel of the place. The dining area is clean and well decorated. The service was friendly and welcoming. We ordered right away and got our food pretty quickly. The ramen itself is tasty! I got the Akamaru and the spicy-ness was perfect. This is my new favorite local ramen spot!

    Bulgogi fries

    After a great time celebrating my son's birthday at King's Skate Country (please reference my review if interested), my family was ready to replenish the calories burned! My son, a lover of Asian cuisines, wanted to his birthday dinner to consist of ramen. Doing a quick Yelp search led us to Maru Ramen Bar, a restaurant located six minutes away from our home. Upon arrival, we were greeted by an employee who instructed us to seat ourselves. Since the restaurant was fairly busy (there were two large parties on both sides of the establishment, we seated ourselves at the bar seating located at the front. A server quickly provided us with menus and filled our glasses with water. My son opted for the Tonkotsu Ramen and Wonton Dumplings; while I selected the bulgogi fries and potstickers. My son, who is generally very talkative, rarely spoke a word as he devoured his ramen. His dumplings (which he ended up taking home to eat later) reheated well and were very delicious the following day (something about letting them marinate in sauce overnight! I found the bulgogi fries to be underwhelming; they had minimal sauce and rib eye meat. The highlight of my order was the potstickers, which are very hard to mess up. Regarding the customer service, it felt very disengaged. I'm used to seeing staff making their way from table to table engaging with patrons regarding their meals, confirming if they would like to order additional items, etc. I observed staff delivering food to tables, filling waters, and then retreating behind the counter to chat amongst themselves. Not sure if this is typical protocol, but it made me wonder if this is the everyday standard for customer service. Although my son enjoyed his orders, I'm not quite sure if I can honestly say that I will make a return visit. However, this is not to say that you shouldn't experience it for yourself.

I love my tart, vinegar, lemon, capers, and pickled stuff....hubby....eh..not so much. So I ordered German Meatballs and my lovely pretzel with beer cheese. The meatballs are meaty, potatoes are the real deal, mashed and with gravy poured on top! Hubby ordered the beef brisket with spatzle. The brisket was tender and the spatzle was quite mac n cheesy, using gouda as the cheese of choice. So I am loving my lovely pretzel and mustard, loving his brisket and spatzle, and loving my german meatballs. Good heavens this place was made for me! Hubby on the other hand is not a fan of tart or cheesy. So he is less than satisfied. In order to rectify this problem I order the Haus Plate with the sweinschnitzel and mashed potatoes and gravy. It comes with sauerkraut, rotkohl, and seasonal veggies (sauerkraut and rotkohl on the side). The beer of choice is hefeweizen, it goes well with the tang of the dijon mustard. Hubby wasn't a fan of the orange notes. Hubby did appreciate the sweinschnitzel and seasonal veggies though. Hooray! I love coming here and will continue my patronage!! Also a fun little trivia night took place at the end of our meal. We participated and got quite a few answers right. Cool beans!

That place" I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it was good. Really good. Better than I remembered and definitely on the "we need to put this on our restaurant rotation". Double cheese burger and a rice beer for me, fried chicken sandwich and nitro stout for the wife, and a cheese flatbread pizza for the kiddo. Shout to our sever Gabriel who was super chill and there when we needed him.

    Nice Place for Drinks and Friends Gathering!…read more Dust Bowl Brewing Co. has a popular taproom just south of Sacramento, in Elk Grove's historic district. The Old Town Tap House is inside a beautiful historic brick building in the Old Town area. It has two huge 30-tap bars, very high ceilings, beautiful lighting, some private rooms, and a big outdoor area with fire pits and games. I really like the indoor space and the atmosphere here. PARKING: Plenty of parking in the complex. RESTROOM: Decent, clean, and bright. SERVICE: friendly, efficient The outdoor seating is beautiful, but the train tracks are basically right next to the restaurant. The train horn and noise can be very loud and last for a while, so it can be hard to have a conversation when a train comes by. Recommended DRINKS: *Strawberry Margarita Seltzer: Sweet and fruity with nice strawberry flavor, refreshing and easy to drink. *Marionberry Kettle Sour: Tart and fruity with a nice berry flavor. Refreshing without being too heavy. *Dust Bowl IPA: Crisp and hoppy with a nice bitterness and classic IPA taste. Recommended FOODS: *House Salad: Fresh romaine and iceberg lettuce with jack and cheddar cheese, cucumbers, carrots, tomatoes, and chunky house-made croutons. Fresh and crunchy with good texture. *Meat Lovers Flatbread: Crispy artisan crust with mozzarella, provolone, ham, bacon, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and marinara. Cheesy, meaty, and filling. *Fried Chicken Bacon Ranch Flatbread: Crispy chicken with bacon, cheese, and creamy ranch. Rich and tasty. *Pulled Pork Sandwich: Tender pulled pork with a savory and smoky flavor. *Cobb Salad: Fresh and filling with the classic Cobb salad toppings. Overall, I think this is a good place for family or casual gathering with friends. There is plenty of space, good drinks, food, and a fun atmosphere.

There are several seating areas to choose from: * Outdoor covered seating near the food truck * Indoor seating with air conditioning * Outdoor covered seating by the live music * Additional outdoor seating close to the stage Restrooms: Two clean, well-maintained stalls with air conditioning. One of my favorite things is that you're welcome to bring your own picnic! They also offer a 15% discount for military members and first responders. Other nice touches include a phone charging station and plenty of outdoor games like cornhole, giant Connect Four, ping-pong, and bocce ball. I especially loved the cozy fire pits. For drinks, they have 24 taps plus wine, kombucha, cider, and hop water, so there's something for everyone. I really enjoyed the atmosphere: it's a great place where people gather to listen to live music, sip a beer, grab something from the food truck, or simply enjoy a picnic with friends and family. If you're looking for a fun, welcoming beer garden, I highly recommend this place!
