I would like to start by sharing my mixed feelings about this location with as much fairness as possible. We had come by for a table of 2 after the lunch hour rush of 2pm. There is a convenient parking lot directly in front of the entrance door. There are outdoor seats right where the cars park which can be good for summer time if you have a pet but you deal with the exhaust of cars if they back in. Upon entry, the floor has sticky grip of your shoes and there was lots of bar spots to the left while there were 3 booths by the window and 4 half booth space along the wall and 2 empty 4 seaters in the middle. We were brought to the middle 4 seaters in front of the bathroom area and I had wanted other alternatives such as the booth by the window and was willing to wait for it to be cleaned. The first girl said she had to "save the table for a hypothetical larger group" even though there were already 2 people in another booth and 3 others in the 2nd one. I asked if I could get the alternative half booths which she also denied saying it's "not available" to us and the only table available is the one she offered. I have never been to a restaurant where it was a "mandatory" table at a non busy hours (post lunch) (pre dinner) of 2pm with lots of other open seatings. After asking again, the first girl walked away and replaced by an Asian female who was nicer and seated us at the window booth and was cautioned that if a larger group were to come in that we have to move tables. (Seatings are not server specific) In terms of food: there are seasonal items, lunch items that end at 4pm and their regular menu. The first lunch combo was tonkotsu with side of chicken karange and Japanese drip coffee. The fried chicken was tasty, tonkotsu broth was saltier than most places offering shio. The Japanese drip coffee was like the cafe con leche with condensed milk. The seasonal shrimp tempura and beef yakiniku came with home made soy sauce. The flavor on this was ok. Tempura could be better. We came and tried, we can now cross this off our list and leave space for other places.
Small confession: I don't like ramen. But I had a lunch date friend with a friend here, so I was elated to find an entire page of the menu dedicated to curry entrees. Here's the short end of it: if you're on the fence about ramen, you can still have a great meal here. I ordered the Karaage curry, which came with four chunky pieces of fried chicken between a mound of rice and an impressive pool of beef curry. I love curries, and this was no exception. There's just nothing like that characteristic smokey, flavor-blasted blend of spices in Japanese curries. On the slight downside, there wasn't a ton of beef in the curry, but it sure made it exciting when I happened upon occasional bites with meat chunks. The Japanese iced coffee is a presentation unto itself. A small pourover sits above a cup, ensuring a fresh brew. That drips onto a small puddle of condensed milk while a cup of ice stands ready by the side. It's a zazzy, interactive process toward a cup of iced coffee that tasted just fine. There's a lovely, cozy vibe to this restaurant that the warm, non-hurried service just accentuates. Service was attentive without intrusion throughout. There's a small, free parking lot right in front, which is certainly a boon in the parking-less void that is this part of Englewood.
After renovations, this place looks a lot more updated/modernized. I had the lunch special which included ramen, kimchi, and coffee. Very filling along with the appetizers that you can choose from. The meat was bit tough and the bao bun tasted a bit stale/tough. The spicy chicken had a lot of their spicy sauce and it was a bit overpowering on the sauce part. For the lunch special, I wasn't given the coffee until I reminded them again, which I then had to take to go. The coffee was great though, enjoyed the strong taste although not much was given. I was waiting for a while for a server to come to me although there was only one at a time so I don't put it past him during busy lunch hours. Regardless he was friendly and attentive to my order so they were appreciated. Not sure if I would come back but it would satisfy cravings in a pinch.
I really liked this place! I had the spicy sesame miso ramen. They put the spice on the side for me, which was a good choice but I'm sensitive to spice. I really liked my broth and that pork belly was delicious. The person I was with had the tonkotsu shoyu and they enjoyed it. I believe I had a lavender lemonade drink and it was good. I couldn't believe how cheap the prices are. If this place were closer to my house, I'd be a regular customer. The ambiance is casual, it's cute inside. My only complaint with the service is that they didn't check on us for a really long time after dropping the food off so I had to wait forever to ask for something.
I was having a huge craving for some authentic ramen. We hadn't been back for a while, and we wondered if anything had changed. I can honestly say, they have... for the better! For one thing, there's more indoor seating now. We were seated quickly, and our waiter handed us the menu. Based on my older photos, I'm pretty sure they've expanded their offerings. I noticed right away that they now serve Vietnamese coffee, and being a coffee lover, I simply had to try it. The waiter asked if I wanted it iced or hot, and I chose iced. Out came the Vietnamese coffee dripper, slowly dripping rich, aromatic coffee into my cup. On the side was another cup filled about three-quarters full with ice. I ordered the combo: Tonkotsu ramen noodles with a spicy pork rice bowl. The broth of the ramen noodles was incredibly fragrant as well as flavorful. It was not overly salty, as I find in many ramen restaurants. The noodles had the perfect QQ texture. Moving over to my spicy pork rice bowl, it was such a comfort bowl. You definitely have to stir before you eat, as the bottom of the bowl has all the spicy sauce. I am a huge fan of these types of bowls. As I ate happily, my phin filter finished brewing. The waiter had already placed condensed milk in the cup, so I gave it a quick stir. Taking advantage of the freshly brewed warmth, I sipped it hot first, then poured a bit over ice to compare. My verdict: if you enjoy a robust flavor, drink it hot. If you prefer something smoother and less intense, pour it over ice. Personally, I loved it hot, but be aware, Vietnamese coffee has more caffeine than espresso. It's sweeter too, thanks to the condensed milk. Our waiter made it not too sweet, at my request. He absolutely nailed it. Outright nirvana. They have a small parking lot, plus additional street parking. Outdoor seating is still available, which is lovely when the weather's warm. Phenomenal food and beverages. Highly recommend!
Went to Ramen Azuma for dinner on a Friday. They have a small parking lot in front of the restaurant. It's a pretty big ramen spot, with big glass windows and big wooden booths. We were seated pretty quickly, and given menus. We ordered the calamari, fried chicken, cucumbers, miso soup, and spicy chicken for appetizers. They're small but cheap and they were all pretty good. My favorite was the fried chicken karaage. The spicy chicken was the same but with buffalo sauce. I got the volcano ramen. It had a huge pile of toppings on it. Unfortunately, most of that pile was shredded cabbage and bean sprouts. There was enough to fill a small bowl once I had removed it. The broth was not very spicy, and it was very greasy, I did like the noodles and the four soft boiled eggs. The chashu pork was sliced thin and it was tender. I also tasted the chicken curry. I liked that a lot, it was just sweet enough with a bit of heat. If I came back I'd get the curry.
I did today Tonkotsu Ramen ( pork and yellow noodles) and a portion of white rice. Everything was perfectly coked , wrapped and presented... Today was cold and I needed some comfort food... I don't know what happened to me but the thing I like the most today was the rice!!! Thank you guys. God bless you
Definitely new AND IMPROVED. We've dined in at Ramen Azuma in Hackensack and this Ramen Azuma for takeout, but this was our very first time dining here since their expansion and, boy, Ramen Azuma has definitely raised their ramen game. We dropped by on the Sunday of their location expansion promotion week in October where they offered all of their ramen bowls for 50% off and it was so worth it! Finding ramen for under $10 is just unheardof in 2024 (or post-2020 for that matter), so when we read about the promotion, it wasn't a matter of if, but instead when. When we arrived at 11:30AM, there was a mob of customers outside already waiting to go in. Guess word got out and everyone had the same mindset? Anyhow, we were still easily seated due to the fact that the restaurant basically doubled in size for their expansion. My wife and I didn't waste any time what so ever and we ordered calamari to start and we both got the Deluxe Ramen, which typically cost $17.50, but on this beautifulllll Sunday morning it was only $8.75 each! For our kids, we got the Chicken Yizu Shio Ramen, which was a ridiculous $7 because of the promo. Yes, I have to admit, when you find a good deal, food usually taste a lot better, but, to be perfectly honest, everything was excellent. The calamari was very crispy and crunchy and the ramen and broth of the Deluxe Ramen were actually VERY, VERY, VERY good. I wasn't too impressed when I ordered takeout a long time ago, but this experience absolutely convinced me that Ramen Azuma is possibly up there with some of the best ramen restaurants in NJ. The Deluxe Ramen did have a lot more of everything - 3 half eggs, cha-shu, nori, corn (we subbed it for the bamboo), mushroom. The ramen noodles and broth were super tasty and delicious. I loved everything about it - the noodles, cha-shu, eggs. Even though I was stuffed, I EASILY could have eaten another one because it was so damn good!!! Service was swift and quick throughout, so no complaints there. The parking lot was a bit on the small and tight side and especially with the number of customers coming for the deal, it felt even tighter. However, don't let that deter you one bit from coming here because the ramen was sooooo good.
On a chilly and rainy Monday evening, we decided to warm our spirits at Ramen Azuma in Hackensack, and it turned out to be the perfect choice! This cozy spot not only warmed our bodies but also lifted our souls with its delightful offerings. I opted for the Shrimp Wonton Shoyu Ramen, and let me tell you, it was a bowl of comfort! The classic soy sauce-flavored broth was light yet bursting with flavor, perfectly complemented by the silky shrimp wontons. The wavy yellow noodles were a fantastic recommendation, adding to the overall deliciousness of the dish. Each slurp was satisfying, and it's safe to say this ramen is a true standout. We also decided to expand our culinary horizons by trying some sushi for the first time. While it didn't disappoint, I wouldn't say it's worth waiting in line for. The spicy tuna roll and España roll were decent, but the ramen truly stole the spotlight and deserves all the accolades.

After receiving several recommendations from family members, my daughter and I decided to try Ramen Azuma instead of our usual spot inside Mitsuwa Marketplace. We chose to order takeout and eat at home. I first asked my daughter to go inside and grab a physical menu so we could look it over in the car before ordering. When she returned, she mentioned that the two men working at the front seemed a bit rude. I brushed it off at first. When we were ready to order, we both went inside. I approached the two employees at the counter--one tall east asian? and the other, slightly shorter southeast asian?--and told them we would like to place a takeout order for both me and my daughter. After I said this, the taller employee began snickering and walked toward the kitchen. The other employee appeared to struggle to hold back laughter as well. I asked him if there was an issue, and he responded that they were laughing about something that had happened earlier, saying, "Nothing, nothing." Regardless of the explanation, the behavior felt extremely unprofessional and disrespectful. It gave the impression that they were laughing at us, which made the interaction uncomfortable. If employees feel comfortable laughing in front of customers like that, it raises concerns about their professionalism overall. Unfortunately, we will not be returning to this establishment, which is disappointing given that we had heard such positive things about it.
Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Vibes: 5/5 Delicious lunch specials and food, and great service! I've been here twice now and can't go wrong with any choice. I really liked the Cold Spicy Sesame Miso Somen, especially in the summer heat! 200g is the perfect portion size for me. I love how they offer this bowl for the same price for three different portion sizes of noodles. Can't wait to go back!
Solid ramen and then some... Huge options, flavorful, tasty, zesty, bulky... You'll be back to try much of the menu. Indoor and outdoor seating. Parking lot is on the side, but not many spots.
Ramen goodness in Jersey! Went to different locations and this ramen place does not disappoint! Location: It is located along Englewood. There is few seating inside and a bar. There is seating outside but not heated. Lot of street parking. Service: They were very attentive and nice. Food: they are famous with their ramens but I always order the combo. RAMEN and YAKINIKU: this is my favorite cause the ramen broth is so delicious and the beef yakiniku is so tender and tasty. PORK CUTLET PLATTER: the tonkatsu was tender inside and crispy outside, comes with miso soup and rice. RAMEN and CHICKEN KARAAGE: the chicken is crispy and cooked into perfection. SHRIMP TEMPURA: its like the one we buy in costco, this is my least favorite. GYOZA: its delicate and the pork and chives are tasty. LAVENDER LEMONADE: it was okay, too sweet. THAI TEA BOBA: this is better, so milky and not that sweet. Price rating: 7/10. Not bad for the goodness that you'll get. Visited this ramen place multiple times and it's always a good experience! Definitely will come back!

We were looking to get some ramen while in the area & found this place as an option, so we decided to give it a try. Drinks just stuck to Water, did tried to order the Lavender lemonade but they forgot it ahh in the end not that big a deal. To start we gave the Fried Shrimp a try, very good nice dipping sauce. I gave the Black garlic ramen a try great tasting broth, very good ramen. Hubby had the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen combo with the fried chicken, very good as well, good chicken nice & crispy. Small place, simple decor , service was not bad & decent prices we enjoyed our ramen. read more

The service is great! The food is amazing. I am on a gluten-free diet. I got their vegan tonkotsu broth and toppings with gluten-free ramen as they are the only 2 gluten-free combo on menu besides edamame and cucumber as appetizers. I also added corn and garlic oil on the side of my ramen, and they do warn about risk of cross contamination regarding toppings outside the 2 combo I mentioned earlier. As for taste, broth was very rich especially with garlic oil. The toppings were enough and contribute to flavor, especially the mushrooms. The ramen noodle was perfect, not undercooked or hard like most gluten-free noodles I tried before, but also not overcooked for mushy texture. Moreover, I enjoy this combination in my meal very much and look forward eating here again. Thank you Ramen Azuma of Englewood! read more

This is one of my favorite local spots to grab ramen in North Jersey. My go-to order is the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen. A little background on my taste in ramen - I usually prefer spicy ramen because it's more flavorful and my favorite ramen of all time is Ichiran. In general, I have not found many ramen spots I like in NJ (especially when comparing to Ichiran). The tonkatsu broth is creamy and flavorful on it's own! (TIP: try the broth without the spice before mixing it in). I always like to take a few sips and savor the salty, creamy taste before mixing in the spice. The noodles are always fresh and are the perfect "al dente" texture for the broth. Topped off with fresh green onion, chashu, and kikurage - you really can't go wrong with this dish. I'm also a big fan of the lavender lemonade. Highly recommend this drink if you have a sweet tooth! Bubble teas are good here too. Only reason I'm giving this review 4 stars is because the chicken within the side dishes is inconsistent sometimes (too much breading, sometimes meat is a little pink). The gyoza is also just okay - worth trying but I've had better. The service is always fast and efficient! I've been here several times and always get served pretty fast. Location is also great for a quick lunch or dinner! There is a parking lot in front of the restaurant but it can get packed during dinner time. There's also a lot of street parking so I've never had any issues finding a spot. read more

I wish I was able to try the food at this restaurant. I decided to give it a try while waiting for an event to start in the area. I walked in & was greeted & I asked if I could take a seat at the empty bar. I sat waited & reviewed the menu for 25 minutes! No one came over to ask if I was ready to order I locked eyes with the host several times & absolutely nothing. If as I walked out & snapped a few pictures absolutely nothing. I will never set foot in this establishment again. read more

Great spot for a quick hot filling meal. Indoor seating with a few tables and bar seating. Cute outdoor seating area as well! We started with edamame and then had Beef ramen with a good amount of spicy sauce which was great! We also had ramen with a side of fried chicken and teriyaki chicken. Both were great but our preferred was teriyaki. Very fast service and filling dishes. read more
Ordered off Postmates and got delivered quick. Tried their tonkatsu and gyoza dumplings and everything was pretty good. The packaging was definitely top not h as it separated the broth from the content all in one bowl. Pretty cool. Tonkatsu with the yellow noodle was very good, could use a little bit more meat but it was still filling. Gyoza was good too, what you would expect with takeout. I'll def try eating in at the restaurant next time. read more

Coming again! The staff were incredibly friendly. We got to sit on the stool area, and it was quite roomy for a family of three. Each of our meals were very unique and good. The star in my husband's curry beef was the side soup it came with. My black ramen had an amazing egg! My son really enjoyed his rice and chicken. Parking on premises and on street. Credit card accepted. Bathroom for customers. Highly recommend. read more
It's our first trip here in months. The menu has changed drastically, lots of new items in the menu. I was happy to see I can do combo of ramen and curry now. We tried the takoyaki, fried chicken ramen, the curry with rice. Most of the items were fine. Curry tastes good. Takoyaki's skin was little extra thick, I'd have liked it to be softer. I thought the broth of chicken ramen could have been better too. Overall, I like this place and will stop by again when we are back in Englewood for a meal. read more

Met up with a friend for lunch here during the week. I got the lunch special at the time, it was a pork ramen with chicken and a coffee. Everything was so good, would definitely come back! read more

Yummy tonkatsu broth. It was not too runny, not too thick, rich and flavorful. I'm not a huge Japanese ramen fan and would prefer a rice dish but this one is a strong contender. While I did order a side of rice and curry it just didn't leave a lasting impression compared to the noodles. Ordered the shrimp tempura as well and those were some small battered shrimps. My only complaint was that everything was served warm but not hot. It was like they waiting 10 mins to bring the entrees out. If everything was bought out boiling hot and freshly fried it would've made the whole meal even better. read more

Good ramen at an unbeatable price! I ordered their tonkatsu ramen to-go through Uber eats, and they had a BOGO ramen deal for $14.50. I've never seen such a great deal for ramen in this area. The ramen were well packaged with the broth, noodle and toppings in each own separate containers. You can also request the noodle to be uncooked, so you can cook it to perfection at home (no soggy, takeout noodles here!). The ramen came with slices of chashu, seaweed and half an egg. The chashu that came with the tonkatsu was a little dry and thin, but given the price, I'd say its ok. Egg was perfect and jammy. The broth itself was rich and really flavorful . I really enjoyed it! read more

Came to this place after a pickleball tournament. The ambience was nice..warm in there but that's how I like it. We had the ramen but it don't remember what it's called. It was spicy with egg and pork and it was very good. Ramen was made perfectly. My friend had the vegetarian spicy ramen. He ate the whole bowl so I guess it was good! read more

Came here on a Sunday afternoon at around 4. The place was packed, but thankfully we were able to get a table in 10 min. I got a black garlic tonkotsu ramen and gyoza combo and my boyfriend got a spicy tonkotsu ramen. Black garlic tonkotsu ramen: 4/5 The broth was rich and creamy with a nice hint of garlic. The egg was perfectly cooked with a jammy yolk. My only complain was that the chashu was really dry and hard. Spicy tonkotsu ramen: 4/5 The spice in the broth was interesting. I'm not really sure but I think the spiciness was coming from sichuan peppercorn? I personally like it but my boyfriend think that was a little odd. And again, the same problem with the chashu, too dry Gyoza: 4/5 The gyoza came with three different sauces. Not sure what they were but two were sweet and one was vinegary and they all added nice flavor to the gyoza. Wish the gyoza would have a crispier bottom but the flavor was great Karaage: 5/5 Crispy and nicely fried! The overall total with tips came out to be $45, which is pretty cheap for ramen with appetizers! The service was also very fast. I think we only stayed there for around 30min. Good place to eat if you want something fast! read more
Generally speaking this place is fine and a solid star joint. The ramen itself was okay, nothing crazy amazing but it was perfectly fine. There wasn't anything super special about the garnishes like as the roast pork or other accoutrements. The tonkatsu broth itself was decent and not overly salty, albeit a bit greasier than others that I've tried. The combo deals are decent and the prices are pretty good - and the combos we tried (chicken teriyaki and gyoza + noodles) were fine. The chicken was a little weird in that it was fried and the gyoza were pretty small, so the latter combo might not be filling. The edamame side was fine - really good portion for the price so it's a worthwhile one to add to mix. The lavender lemonade was pretty good and refreshing and I would recommend it, even tho it was a bit pricey ($4) for such a small amount. There is a giant tower option for $20 but I'm not sure if that's reasonable for most people. The seating here is fairly small inside but there is plenty of outdoor seating. The service here was very mixed. The host was very friendly and helpful but the servers were all very scattered and needed extra effort to get their attention. They were friendly enough but this is something that needs to be improved about this place. Otherwise, it's a fairly straightforward establishment with reasonably priced food options. read more

Do they have heated Outdoor Seating?
Last time I was there I did see heating lamps for outdoor seating. Not sure if that's the setup for all degrees of weather
