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!

Chicken ramen

Ramen Azuma is the best ramen spot in the Hackensack area. The service is friendly and quick, and the ambience is lovely. The ramen was very tasty. I had the chicken ramen and the chicken was very soft. 10/10 experience.

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.

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.

Karaage, Lavender lemonade
Millie B.

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!

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
Mikiko F.

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.

Sushi rolls

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.

Vegan sesame miso ramen.
Jerry F.

Their fresh exterior and signage and the name caught my eye. Ramen for sure and Azuma-(some might remember a store by that name in New York City back in the 20th century; Mom and I would go there often.) Back to the Ramen- I was really hungry after over 7000 steps from that morning's volunteer work, and it was near noon. I went in to look at the menu and stayed- vegan options! I had the vegan sesame miso, ramen bowl which, in fact, is hard to find vegan, and went with the thin white noodle vs the thicker yellow noodle. The photos show I ate the whole thing! On ambiance, check out photo showing how beautiful it is inside. I must also say the playlist was the bomb! Eclectic for sure with Buffalo Springfield and Joy Division among the songs I liked. By the time I finished my ramen, most of the other tables were full. Service was quick and friendly. I showed the menu to the Beloveds. They noted there's three of this restaurant in Bergen County area. We are all definitely going back so they can also enjoy. The tables were nice and big -good to fill up with loved ones. And maybe next time I'll get the vegan brownie for dessert.

Karage Platter
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.

My friend selected Yakitori 39 for a Thursday night dinner. We've been to so many places that it…read moreslipped his mind that we had been there before. (I did that recently for a holiday dinner) To his credit it was probably 8-10 years since we had been there. I remembered it favorably and was looking forward to trying it again. Doesn't feel like it's aged particularly well. We were the only diners a bit after 6 on a Thursday. Waitress was pleasant. We started with 5 skewers. Various parts of the chicken, mostly pretty bland. Nothing was bad but nothing was noteworthy. Tried another round of 5 skewers, the one with the plum filling was a bit more enjoyable. In Yakitori 39's defense, we probably did it wrong. It's probably fun with a bunch of sake but I don't drink alcohol. The ingredients seem quality. Probably won't be rushing back.

The place is pretty tiny. Probably not the best for groups. I imagine it could get packed quickly…read more Overall I liked the vibe. Kind of cool seeing the chef tending to the grill. 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.

SAMPLER PLATTER: shrimp tempura, fried dumpling and fried seaweed rolls. They are all good! Not fried too much. Crispy in the outside and soft inside. TOFU STEW: it came really really hot.

I usually frequent their Palisades Park location, and I'm happy to report that their tofu soups never miss here either. They serve a wide variety of Korean stews, bibimbap, and Korean BBQ options. My personal go-to is always the beef or mushroom tofu stew, it's super comforting, flavorful, and the absolute perfect meal for a chilly day. The dining room itself is clean and spacious, making for a comfortable meal. Plus, the service is top-notch; the staff is exceptionally attentive, the food comes out fast, and they are quick to refill your banchan whenever you ask.
