Black garlic tonkotsu Ramen set with the salmon ikura bowl

Ashley B.

Awesome experience! My boyfriend and I stopped in on a whim and were so happy we did. We weren't insanely hungry, but we definitely wanted something small to eat. We ended up splitting the Ramen set and it was the perfect amount of food without feeling too full. In addition to a great portion size, the flavors were amazing and the salmon ikura bowl was absolutely perfect. Service was delightful, friendly and attentative. The food came out quickly and hot. The best part of all was it was priced very reasonably! I will definitely return when in the area and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to visit!

Great ramen find! Glad I found this restaurant on Yelp because it didn't disappoint. We ordered the ramen combo with chicken and salmon which we loved. The broth of ramen tasted authentic. The ambience was great and they have a lot of parking space. The service was also good.

Take out for 2 ramens. I called to place order first and prob took about 10-15mins. Pretty quick. Ramen is good. Not oily. They separated soup from the noodles so it didn't get soggy by the time we ate it. Spacious inside. Lots tables and seats. Saw a group there for Christmas party. Great place for gathering.

My lunch set, tonkotsu ramen with karaage and rice with Shimai $17

Charlie S.

Just wanted to have quick ramen lunch here. Surprisingly good ramen and great value for the lunch time. Tonkotsu ramen was just how it should be as Japanese standard. I could choose bunch of appetizers or small rice items in the lunch set. I choose karaage on to Tonkotsu and a small bowl of rice included. In addition, a young-man wait staff was super attentive and makes my lunch greater over more. I'll come for dinner next time.

Stopped by for some ramen while I was in the area and was very happy with what I found! Ramen Akuma has some great Japanese cuisine options, and today, I opted for getting their lunch special. For the very affordable price of $14.95, you get a miso pork belly rice bowl, tonkotsu ramen, and iced coffee. The ramen was sooo flavorful, with a very full body, umami, pork flavor and very bouncy and chewy noodles. The oil on top was a bit thick, but very on-brand for the tonkotsu. The rice with meat has a bit of a 5-spice like seasoning, that was good but kind of ambiguous in taste. The iced coffee to me felt as if there could have been a bit more condensed milk. The service here is immaculate, with a very friendly waiter who was quick to assist us with anything we needed. The parking lot is small but enough for the restaurant. The aesthetic of the restaurant is simple but classy, with movable grass dividers if you have a larger party. There is also tabletop bar seating available. Would recommend if you are looking for a Japanese restaurant in the area.

The decor of the restaurant is very modern. There is loads of space for large groups and also seats near the kitchen for people that want to dine alone. We were seated immediately and the waitress was very attentive to us. They kept checking on us to see if our food was to our taste. For a starter we got takoyaki and karage, both were pretty good! I got the tonkotsu shoyu with a side of friend shrimp. It was good but not as flavorful as I expected. I also got the lavender lemonade and it was a mix of sour and sweet. Definitely a must for the summer!

I really, really, really wanted to like Ramen Azuma because I wanted to check out their shiny, new location in Hackensack......but the food here was just OK when we visited. We swung by on a rainy, cool Saturday morning at 11:40ish, just after they opened for the day and, no shocker here as we were the very 1st customers of the afternoon. I had done a bit of research before we came in, so we were pretty much set on what we were going to order. The menu had quite a few different ramen selections - specifically they had a section for just "Ramen Specials", which were different than the regular ramen selections on the menu. Besides ramen, they served various platters that included appetizer meals, ramen combos and curry entrees. If you're planning to order an appetizer and a Tonkotsu ramen, your best bet would be to go for a ramen combo as it'll save you a few bucks. We started off our meal with 2 appetizers - Cha Shu Buns and Gyoza. First, the good - Gyoza. Solid, tasty, pretty much your typical Gyoza. Second, the bad - Cha Shu Buns. The piece of Cha Shu was very dry and there was barely any sauce and slaw in the bun. Poorly executed and was not good at all. Next, our ramens arrived. I ordered a Ramen and Chicken Teriyaki Combo (with yellow noodle) and added corn. The ramen was decent. Hard to say it was great though. It was pretty average. My wife ordered the Black Garlic Ramen. As expected, hers was a bit better because of the roasted black garlic flavor, but, once again, could be better still. As for the Chicken Teriyaki, it was also just OK. I did appreciate the fried chicken looking nature of the Chicken Teriyaki. That, I think, made it taste a bit better. We also ordered a Cha Shu Bowl for our children. I doubt most folks would order this (and I would say skip it too), but it was something for our children to try. All in all, was a rather disappointing experience. The restaurant WAS very new looking and clean and there was a large parking lot outside. Pluses there. And, the waiters were nice and the food came out very quick, but the flavors were very average. Nothing about the food really stood out and the Cha Shu could have been better. I always feel restaurants deserve a second chance and, hopefully, I'll change my mind next time.

Ramen goodness in Jersey! Went to different locations and this ramen place does not disappoint! Location: It is located along Hackensack. 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!

spicy tonkatsu with spicy miso chicken bowl

We have ordered takeout from here in the past and thought it was just ok but had a better experience dining in! Came in on a Sunday around 7 PM and it was pretty busy but still had some seating available. We opted for the bar seats since it was just the two of us. The aesthetic is very nice and modern. There is also a designated parking lot right out front so that is a huge plus. I recall ordering the salmon ikura bowl combo last time, and I am pretty sure they used smoked salmon instead of salmon sashimi so we avoided ordering that again this time. This time we got the special spicy sesame miso ramen with curry combo and the spicy tonkatsu ramen with the spicy miso chicken bowl. Also got an appetizer of the takoyaki. I have no complaints about our meal as we enjoyed it! I would come back and get the same thing again.

One of my favorite Ramen spots. I have tried most of the Ramen offerings as well as the newly added sushi. Fresh ingredients, large portions. Service is usually quick.

Currently this place is undergoing construction, they are actively serving. The waiters try their best, my colleagues and I have been here twice to give the benefit of the doubt, we were served raw bao buns , raw chicken and frothy ramen. Two of us got violently sick after taking and spitting out the few morsels of food. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Their coffee was not bad.

Clean and nice looking restaurant. Parking on site. Delicious ramen and service was prompt.

Yuna C.

Large interior with ample parking space! Their menu is extensive - with ramen, curry, appetizers, and cold noodles! I don't enjoy ramen so much, so I opted for the Karage Platter - which offers rice, soup, salad (dressed lightly with some sweet dressing), and hot and crunchy well cooked chicken with spicy Mayo.

I've been going to the Englewood location for years, however stopped when I realized the quality had been going down. I was excited to see a new Hackensack location and wondered that maybe this location would be better. Unfortunately, that was not the case. The new restaurant is clean and spacious in comparison to the Englewood location. I decided to try a menu item I've never tried before, which was the Creamy Chicken Ramen. I was advised by our waitress that it would be served with white wheat noodles but instead was surprised to see my bowl filled with the yellow egg noodles, which were undercooked (just under al dente). In addition, the broth was not creamy at all, which is extremely misleading from the name. The spicy miso was way better than the chicken creamy ramen, however not as good as what it used to be. The lack of consistency of this restaurant has been disappointing as I was a former regular costumer. I will likely not be returning. read more

I've been eating at Ramen Azuma for months. The ramen is delicious. My favorite is the thick yellow noodle tonkotsu ramen. The noodle is cooked to perfection. It tastes fresh. I love the eda mame but that's an easy one. The curry is more sophisticated and I have never ordered a choice of meat/chicken/pork that I didn't like. The gyozas are also pretty good. The soy sauce in the middle is pretty good. The two girls who work here have been nice. The place is big and spacious. And there's plenty of parking. read more

I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen with the fried chicken through Uber Eats. This was my first time having ramen and I was excited. The broth was extremely salty, so much so I could not eat it. I tried a few times but it was awful. The noodles were completely stuck together and they would not separate. I had even ordered extra broth and that still wasn't enough. I went on to try the chicken, I took a bite and looked at the chicken. It was pink, I was lucky that I had only chewed it and was able to spit it out. Within 20 mins, I began to sweat and my stomach felt weird. I had no clue what was wrong. After a while I realized the food had made me sick. Before I knew it, I was running to the bathroom to th**w up. It was terrible. I heard a few stories since getting sick myself of others experiencing the very same thing. Clearly there is an issue they need to resolve before they end up with a major lawsuit. read more

I've been going to the Englewood location for years and was glad to see they opened a location in Hackensack. This location is larger with its own parking lot, more space with comfortable seating, and an overall nice vibe and ambience. Just like in the other locations, the servers are attentive and the food comes out quickly. Whenever a restaurant opens new locations, I always worry about if it will live up to the same standard and I wanna say I like this location better?! Not sure if it was because I came during opening weekend, but I felt like they gave me so much more noodles in my ramen. Of course, the ramen was on point. I ordered the spicy tonkotsu, and it was the perfect heat level. I also tried the chashu pork bowl which I absolutely will be coming back for. The pork belly was so tender and flavorful, and I loved the sauce it was topped with. I just love this place! read more

My dining partner and I were seated rather quickly. Our server took our drink orders and came back promptly so we could order our food. The menu is pretty extensive but we ordered an assortment of skewers and a bowl of ramen to share. The skewers came out little by little; about 3 skewers per plate. They didn't come all at once so I assume they bring them out as they finish getting grilled. The chicken heart was some of the best I've ever had. I'm not sure if it's the way it was sliced, the seasoning, or just everything about it but I wish we ordered more. The tail skewer was another standout. It had so much crunch that it was almost like it was fried. The flavors were rich and varied. Each skewer cost upwards of $4 so that's a bummer. Unfortunately the ramen wasn't so great. Not terrible, but not great either. Especially not great for $19. Not my first choice for ramen. Is it the most bang for your buck? Certainly not. But I did enjoy my meal and in the end, that's what matters.

The dining area is in rough shape -- cracked wood, dusty interior, and a generally run-down vibe that makes it feel borderline dirty rather than "casual." Service was also frustrating. Our servers couldn't answer basic questions about the menu, which is already hard to follow if you're not familiar with Japanese terms. It left us feeling lost rather than guided. On top of that, the pricing is steep for the suburbs -- $5-$8 per skewer adds up really quickly, and it just didn't feel worth it given the atmosphere and service. All the yakitori was decent but nothing mind blowing, smaller servings and overly salty. To make matters worse, the tap water was awful -- honestly undrinkable. Look at my picture I'm shocked they thought this was acceptable to bring to our table. The food itself may be authentic, but everything else about the experience dragged it down. Unfortunately, not somewhere I'd come back to.

But then the total came out to $29 after tax?? Apparently I got charged an extra $3 for the beef?? Then the way they package the food could be improved. So there was a container with the broth, and a smaller inner container holding the other ingredients. It was a little inconvenient to get out, but once I did, I dumped it into the broth. But the noodles were on the bottom, meaning they were on top after the flip. So I was stuck just eating my way through the noodles before I reached everything else, and it was all in a big block, so it took a while to soften and loosen up. Also the container was kinda tall, so it was awkward to get the fork in there. Anyway, the food itself was good. The broth had a lot of flavor. Beef was fine, but could've been browned more. Veggie dumplings were awesome, and the lychee boba was obviously delicious.

This location also serves bao buns (the main reason I come to this location most). All of their three options are great but I LOVE their fried chicken buns with their house made spicy sauce! There is about 10 tables with bar seating as well. Depending on the day and time you come, you might have to wait a few minutes but it's worth the wait. Service is always friendly and the restaurant is located in a plaza so there is plenty of parking.

The owner or manager was also very kind and gave some free stuff for my kids. All in all it was what you'd expect from Menya - very good ramen that always hits in the right ways, especially on those cold days or nights when you've got a serious noodle craving. Their ramen is great and their gyoza is also top notch. The shoyu ramen here is right on point and is my favorite of the bunch. It's also got easy access to parking which is also an other plus as well. You can't go wrong if you want ramen in the area and come to this particular location.

Had lunch today at So Gong Dong Tofu & BBQ in their Hackensack, NJ location…read more Inside is pretty spacious with lots of seating. The establishment has a very calm atmosphere, with a clean modern ambiance perfect for casual dining. Ambiance rate 7/10. To start off, they give an array of bottomless Korean side dishes like fish cake, kimchi, and radish which I enjoyed. My friend and I ordered... 1. Seafood Pancake: This appetizer was incredibly delicious! The variety of seafood incorporated into this soft Asian style savory pancake made it very flavorful! Rate 9/10. 2. Beef Tofu Stew: This had beef, kalguksu, and tofu at a regular spice level. This dish was average, nothing special. I enjoyed the tender beef. This dish tastes very heavy of tofu, even from a sip of the stew. Therefore, if you're a big fan of tofu, this dish is for you! Rate 6/10. 3. Pork Bulgogi Bento Box: I was satisfied with this box due to all the different kinds of foods included in it, such as miso soup, pork bulgogi, tempuras, japchae, salad, and rice. Overall, it was delicious and filling! However, the pork bulgogi wasn't too flavorful, or that spicy like advertised, and it was really oily. Rate 7/10. The service was very quick, and although our waiter was helpful, he didn't seem that friendly. For example, if I asked for more napkins, he would seem annoyed. Service/staff rate 5/10. Overall, this place is a nice spot to enjoy casual Korean food. However, I wouldn't come back here again because of the mediocrity of the dishes, and limited menu selection.

This SGD was on our way to Ikea in Paramus and we stopped by for lunch. First when we walked in the server saw us coming with our baby stroller and already lead us to a nice table where we were able to park our baby in a good location next to the window. I felt she was already attentive! We went on a weekday and it was not too busy. The menu here was slightly different, they offered extra noodle dishes that I had not seen in the other SGD location! But it didn't matter to me, because I was only craving galbi. So we ordered the galbi and hubby got the tofu stew with beef and kimchi, which he declared was the best! Overall loved this location. Good service and very clean.

Ramen Azuma -- Consistently On Point This spot is amazing. The lunch specials are a great deal, and the ramen is always on point--rich, flavorful broth that hits without being overpowering. The Japanese coffee is honestly some of the best I've had in the tri-state area. I've tried a few of their appetizers as well, and everything has been consistently delicious. Service is always solid, and I've never had an issue getting a table. The vibe is relaxed and cool, prices are fair, and the lunch specials are definitely the move--especially since the sides switch up, which keeps it interesting. Easy parking is a big plus too. If you're into ramen, this is a must. You won't be disappointed. I'll keep coming back as long as they're open. read more

As a self-proclaimed Ramen Girl, I was excited to try Ramen Azuma, but unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. I had the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen, which left a weird aftertaste that was quite off-putting. The Ebi Katsu Bun was just okay--not particularly memorable. On the positive side, the service was quick, which I appreciated. However, the overall experience was disappointing. I was hoping for a flavorful and satisfying ramen meal, but Ramen Azuma fell short. read more
