We're always happy with the food here. This visit was no exception to the rule. I feel that in…read moreaddition, our server was extra helpful on this visit. She brought up some kind of stamp card with a promotion which could help give us some kind of discount off our bill. A small discount around 10 - 15% off but any kind of discount is better than no discount. In addition to getting us this discount she also helped me to sign up for the rewards program on the app which earned me a free appetizer, so we got to enjoy a free order of Takoyaki with our meal. It used to be that there was a physical stamp card and in order to get the stamp, you'd have to finish every last drop in your bowl every time you come to visit. Seems like they are doing away with that system and replacing it with a digital rewards system. Our server helped to transfer what was on my physical card over to my new digital account on the app. Now with the app, I just have to show a QR code instead of the stamp card, and although the restaurant would probably prefer us all to still finish every last drop in our bowl, it seems that is no longer an absolute requirement for getting our "stamp" in the app. I like this new direction that they've taken!

The place feels very spacious. A local gem that I am already looking forward to coming back - thus the high ratings! I ordered a black garlic ramen plus tonkatsu combo. For $24 this is a crazy good deal and a HUGE amount of food. It's a regular sized ramen bowl - just the ramen alone is very filling. - tonkatsu is light but crispy, really well done. - comes with a generous amount of cabbage salad Now the ramen: - the broth is really umami. It's light compared to some other black garlic - but still full of flavour. - noodles are great. I get mine thin. Done very well - egg is spot on. Just on the verge of being melty and you get both halves. - everyone loved the meat. Small pieces, but just the right blend of fatty, wonderfully tender and great texture. - I loved the side veggies esp the menma - chewy with terrific texture. Just a wonderful experience and I already know what I'll order next time!

Can't believe this was an Uber Eats discovery!!…read more Between hockey sessions at hillcrest I was craving something warm and was looking for Ramen spots near the Hillcrest community center that I could order delivery from as I was careless at the time . Zubu caught my eye on the Uber Eats app because they had a Bogo spicy chicken Ramen deal. While , I didn't go for the spicy chicken Ramen at the time I ordered an order of the Karaage and Nori fries ! Easily top two in terms of best Japanese fried chicken/ karaage I've ever had and I've been to Japan a few times!! I don't know if it's the seasoning or the wonderful Ponzu that they give you ...it's hard to name one thing that makes this dish great , but it being well seasoned and perfectly battered are just some of the many of the reasons as to why this is amongst the best karaage I've ever had !! The Nori fries, although are very expensive and to be frank quite possibly among the most expensive fries I've ever had ...were also the best nori fries I've ever had as well . Something about the something about the seasoning ....maybe it's msg? Idk whatever it is it's delicious !!! I Thank God, the price is high as I would easily order two orders if it weren't for the price. The second time I actually visited this location and was happy to get a discount even on my to go order because it was happy hour ! I had never heard of a place giving a discount for to go orders during happy hour so bonus points for sure! Because I actually visited the location I was able to order the mini spicy chicken Ramen too which is not available to order online or through the Uber Eats delivery app. I love the idea of a miniature ramen bowl as someone who's trying to lose weight but also sometimes doesn't want a whole bowl of Ramen. It was the perfect amount!!! Very satisfying! I ordered the third level of spice and it was actually spicy, which is a plus ! I love the veggies and the broth honestly one of my favorite bowls of Ramen in North America. I'm honestly surprised at the low rating really as I've had multiple positive experiences with this place!

The set is perfect for sharing if you have young children. I like how customizable their ramen is. It's like ordering a steak. You pick the saltiness and richness of the broth, then whether to sear your chasiu and the doness of your noddles. I guess I am not a big eater because their regular size was too much for me. For sides, we got the nanban chicken and small chasiu rice. Their Nan ban chicken reminds me of fish and chips batter. It's really thick. Note: they don't accept cash

It almost seemed like scrap pieces barely hanging onto each other. Unlike my friend who ordered a different ramen dish but still with the cha siu, her pieces looks thicker and whole.

Clean restaurant with several available tables, but definitely had more of a food court feel than cozy restaurant ambiance. That said, it's located within the bowling alley but you'd never know it during dining. We ordered the veggie ramen with an added egg, and the Shoyu ramen (without seaweed or onions). Food came out very quickly. Veggie ramen was quite delicious but not over the top flavourful, nothing a little chili paste couldn't fix. Shoyu ramen had a very woody broth. Noodles were cooked well had significantly less noodles than the veggie ramen. Pork was a tad bland. Overall very good! Cost was very affordable, $36 including tip for two made this a great dine out experience! Will definitely come back.

We were craving ramen and had to be in this area at the time, so we found this place that actually…read moresurprised us! It's not your typical ramen joint because looking at the menu, they have some other Asian dishes that are from different cultures. It's like a mish-mash of Asian flavours! We stuck to the ramen dishes since that's what we were after, and it was actually super delicious! Firstly, the bowls are bigger than usual ramen bowls from other Japanese joints, so you get a bit more. Your ramen comes with the basic meat/protein and a few add-ons. Optional toppings are available for $1.75 each. We ordered the miso tonkotsu and the spicy version. We LOVED it and thought it was super comparable to authentic ramen places in the lower mainland! Definitely come and try them out! The ambiance is super casual. Good for large groups as they have plenty of seating. Unassuming yet tasty. Only thing is that it's located in a part of Surrey where there's a lot of homeless folks roaming around the area. One even walked in and stopped by our table asking for money, but the owner was able to (nicely) shoo them away and apologized to us after. Apparently that guy wanders in from time to time, but there are usually cop cars in the area. We went on a Saturday night, so just beware of this in case you experience it too.

We looked out the window and saw Umami Ramen which sounded good, especially during this weather. We were surprised to see there's more than Ramen on the menu. There's a variety of asian dishes. I saw the lunch special and opted for that even though we saw a gentleman having Ramen which looked good. You choose from several options to create your bento box. It comes with a salad plus your choice, I got the shrimp balls (2), vegetable tempura, chicken teriyaki, steamed rice, and of course some hot tea. My meal was delicious. My husband got a lunch special too and his bento box he got duck, fried rice, spring rolls and tempura. He also ordered gyoza app. Everything was very tasty.

Their tonkotsu was decent-- not too salty but also lacked some flavours. The noodles were way too clumpy for me. The aburi ramen was interesting. You can definitely tasting the charred meat and the big slice of butter really did resemble an aburi sushi set. But it also felt... unnecessary. They had the thicker wavy noodles for this bowl-- less chunky and texture was not bad. I liked how both bowls didn't feel too heavy. They also have different combos which I thought were pretty good deals. Service: Our waitress was rude and short tempered when I asked a question about the broth. It felt like she treated the other non asian customers nicer than she did to us. We waited longer to get served even though we came in first and overall, just was not tentative at all. To be honest, it felt like it was because of the way we dressed and looked that day. It really did dampen the mood of our whole dining experience here. Ambiance: typical ramen restaurant vibe . Decently big space but still felt cramped. I've lived around this neighborhood for a long time and have been wanting to try... but unfortunately this will be my one and only time. So disappointed.

It has an open kitchen where one can sit by the window and witness how the kitchen prepares food. We had ramen as this is their specialty. Both the Black Koku-Ton ramen and White Salton ramen looked exactly the same but tasted a little different. Broth is rich with lots of umami-ness. Love the chewy ramen noodles. Char Siu was done perfectly without a pork smell. *Chicken Karaage with Yuzu Honey Sauce: sauce is a fantastic and light blend of yuzu, hint of mustard and touch of honey. However, chicken Karaage is a bit weak and bland. Without the sauce, it cannot stand alone. *Black Cod: perfectly grilled with crunchy skin and a light buttery sauce. Fish is cooked just right. *Jumbo Rice Prawn: interesting jumbo prawns. I suspected that the end piece would be just starch without prawn but to my surprise, I was mistaken! It tasted like batter studded with rice crispies. Yummy but at $12 each! Will definitely be back for Yakitori on Monday nights. BTW, there's a 15% off entire order on Tuesdays.
