Stopped here for lunch with a friend, quiet on a Friday. Staff had us sit where we liked. The bubbles weren't ready, so no bubble tea for me this time. Service was simple, water with flavored mint? leaf. The miso ramen I tried with egg (extra $2). Egg was cooked perfectly, no issues there. Ramen noodles were firm and good. Miso in the ramen was light, I could've used more of it to add flavor. The pork was unfortunately just tough. Not melt in your mouth but rather too lean in some areas and too fatty elsewhere... not a good balance or make. Likely will try another type later with chicken - maybe the Black Garlic next time with thicker noodles? Easy to split the check.

Nothing to see here. Not a single strand of noodle left in these bowls.

Stopped in with two toddlers on a Tuesday based on Yelp reviews. Service and food were excellent. Ordered the black garlic ramen and miso ramen. They offered me a kid size option for a few bucks less which is not listed on the menu. Both were very flavorful and satisfying. Black garlic fit our tastes more since it came with thick wavy noodles vs the thinner/straight noodles in the miso. Pork belly slices were huge and a lot more pieces than any of the more authentic Japanese places I've been to. My picky kids ate surprisingly well, which was the most important of all. Based on taste, portion size, value, and the fact that my kids ate so well, this may be the best ramen I've ever had.

Plenty of seating on a Sunday evening with fast service. Satisfied my ramen craving with their signature Sum Ramen dish, which was delicious! It was the perfect amount of spicy and the meat was tender. Unexpectedly, the corn cheese was the highlight for me! It was a good size to share between 2 people. A great place to catch up with friends with yummy food.

Love that they have GF options. I got the black garlic GF ramen. In order for it to be GF, it must come with chicken and initially I was a little let down but honestly was pleasantly surprised once the ramen came. The chicken was tender and there was a LARGE portion. Noodles were great too. I did notice a heavy salty-ness in the ramen so that was probably the biggest downside although it was very flavorful. I also got a matcha latte with brown sugar and it wasn't overly sweet; however, the tapioca boba were too small and on the harder side, not the large gummy ones I'm used to. Overall, still a great meal. BF was a big fan of the scorched edamame as well so this place seems like a winner to us!

Average ramen spot-- good for a quick, casual meal. The decor was cute and clean. The service was ok. I ordered pork buns as an appetizer, but I think our server forgot to put them in, so when our ramen came, I canceled them. The ramen was yummy, but for the price, I was expecting more.

Just down the street from the Paper Mill Playhouse, Sum Ramen is a small Japanese food joint with perhaps 3 booths, 4 tables for 2, and an unfortunately pre-fab vibe inside. It's perfectly comfortable, but the wood paneling on the walls and "chalkboard" menu come off fake. On a Friday afternoon, I was the only diner until a couple showed up mid-meal. Luckily the waiter wasn't weird about it. The original point of my trip was to try the ramen, but as it was a 90-degree day, I found myself tempted by the tan tan mazemen with cold noodles. I asked to substitute chicken for the pork and they didn't blink, which was a good sign. I started with the tofu bao bao, which each consisted of two very flat fried tofu patties, lettuce, a creamy mayo-based sauce, and a sticky, sweet soy glaze. Unfortunately these were not the starter I was hoping for. The tofu ate very dry and the broken buns meant that soy glaze leaked all over my fingers. I can't say that the mayo sauce was especially memorable either. The tan tan mazemen was much better. I loved the hard sear on what looked like a flattened, pounded chicken breast. It was dense, it was juicy, it was crusty. Fried lotus roots brought a starchy, chewy element to the party, and the greens and shaved chilis brought coolness and heat, respectively. I'd come again to try the ramen. If I hadn't had the buns I'd be more positive overall, but every Japanese restaurant should really have buns on lockdown.

Great food and attentive service. The young gentleman helping today was just a kid but he was well mannered. We ordered spicy tan tan ramen and I totally must have missed the tonkotsu broth part. I ordered this at another restaurant and it was soupless and I was expecting the same. Had I known I probably would have tried the sum ramen instead. Nevertheless it was still tasty. I did like the broth. I also ordered a side of shishito peppers and it was salted very well, a bit too much for me but I enjoyed it.

I went on a mother child date night, with my cuties! And this spot was perfect! The service was wonderful, they knew exactly what I would need with the kids and came with extra bowls/ extra napkins and forks and spoons! We ordered the vegetarian ramen with veggie broth (1 Regular and 1 spicy) and they were both perfect! Just the right amount of spice for both me and the kids! Plenty of veggies and tofu and noodles! We end up with a lil togo :). We also ordered the tofu bao bao and it was yummy! The kids got edamame as well and everyone ate everything without a fuss, Which was amazing! The staff was nice and the place was clean! We will go again and again for sure.

Food I'm giving a 3 out of 10. I drive 25 minutes here for bland ramen. It had absolutely no flavor at all. I couldn't even take notes than 4 spoonfuls. I even tried adding some hot sauces and it was still bland. I told the waitress and she looked at me confused asking me if I ever had taken before lol. Even If I never went to Japan I'd still give this place a 1 star. Horrible service and horrible ramen. Won't be visiting again. Ambiance was ok. Usually the smaller locations has the best ramen but not this one.

Stopped by for lunch with the family on an Saturday early afternoon. Which was empty until the tail end of our meal which was closer to 12:30 PM. The dishes took awhile as they seemed to have a few takeout orders to make in advance. Space is decent, with a few booths and stand alone tables with the open kitchen view. They had an AC wall unit but it was pretty hot in the restaurant and even before we started eating. We ordered: Black garlic ramen (4/5) Broth was delightful, portion was ample plenty of soup and noodles and all other parts of the dish! Taking a point away for the pork which was over cooked and the use of spinach versus Asian vegetables Ox tail ramen special (3/5) ample portion and ox Gail and as good but taking away points for the broth which was a bit bland by comparison and again spinach instead of Asian veggies didn't hit the mark for us Beef short rib ramen with gluten free noodles (due to egg/dairy allergy) (3/5) The noodles were ok and meet again was more well done than Desiree broth was good though and they were kind enough to split it across two bowls for the kids. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall 3/5 due to the fact that the dishes just didn't meet the expectations of the price tag. It's not a bad spot just pricier at $60+ for the 3 bowls with tax and tip. If you do come I would order the black garlic one hands down the best of the three. Not bad but not great.

First time visiting Sum Ramen, located in the heart of downtown Millburn. You have access to street parking as well as a big parking lot right opposite the restaurant. We made a reservation prior to coming in as it was a weekend. Ordered chicken ramen ( replaced beef ), vegetable ramen curry style, mapo tofu and some appetizers - steamed edamame, wings, Tofu bao buns. The edamame were amazing and were favorite among the appetizers. While on the mains, surprisingly the mapo tofu was the most liked in comparison to the ramens. The curry ramen lacked seasoning and salt unfortunately. The staff were friendly and the service was quick. Expected the ramen to be a lot better in terms of flavor looking at the reviews, but Ive had better ! Overall fun experience and decent food.

Wendy N.

Stopped in for weekend lunch after a day at the Essex Zoo. The restaurant was small, but comfortable. The ramen was good, but I've had better pork belly. The edamame was delicious though since you can taste the char from the grill. Service was good, but it was pretty busy when we arrived. Metered parking lot across the street was very convenient.

Stumbled on this place because I was in the area and I am so happy I did. The ramen was so good I don't even have pictures. I am not really sure of the service because I ordered to go. When I walked in the place it was packed and the vibes seemed chill and relaxed. I would definitely try this place again if I am in the area. The ramen is definitely on my top 5 favorites.

I've been craving ramen on and off for the last 3 months ( my wife said the "whole year!") and it been to tell the truth a major failure. But I didn't give up. Sum Ramen was wonderful, it was just what we were looking for. The service was great, the cost very reasonable. Spicy Edamame, I basically ate the shared bowl by myself, good. Fried Pork Gyoza delicious. Lightly fried and flavorful. But the Tan-Tan Ram Ramen was a big surprise. Spicy pork with thick noodles, which I normally shy away from was excellent..I will be having it again. Wow good to the last drop. Can't wait for the next time. read more

I use yelp mainly to look for restaurants with good reviews and to write reviews to warn people not to take chances with restaurants or establishments that have bad service and food. So for me to write a review to praise a restaurant is pretty rare but this restaurant deserves a good five star review. If I can give more stars for Sum Ramen, I would. Sum Ramen has excellent service and food. This is quality! A bang for your buck. I ordered 3 ramens, namely: Black garlic, miso and spicy tan tan for 3 people, plus two apps, which put me at $60+. 4 people shared the order and there are still left overs, because their portions are generous. Oh and did I mention that their Ramens are delicious! And I call myself a Ramen aficionado, not only 'cause I sampled plenty a Ramen, continuously searching for good ramen spots, but also, that it happens to be a favorite, go to, comfort food of mine. In conclusion, I highly recommend you try this spot and see what I'm talking about. Bravo! read more

Authentic Ramen with delicious real broth (NOT FROM A Package!) and fresh noodles! I cannot emphasize the difference in the taste of what I just noted. As an Asian, I sheepishly admit to the same college ramen as most of my fellow Americans have partaken in. So I tend to stay away from Ramen places because I say to myself, why would I pay for that...and then you taste what this place offers! Yes, it's an "NYC comparable" of a very good restaurant! Besides, in order to match the taste here, you must buy fresh ingredients and do a little more work in your shopping than the packaged substitute that most take on. This is a quaint little place that wasn't too busy with indoor dining (mostly pick up) and so timely to the change of seasons to have this meal in person. Met an old colleague to catch up. He never had fresh ramen and was impressed with the quality of his Beef Ramen. I got the Black Garlic one and inhaled it! I should have taken pics, will return and update this at a later date... We also ordered the fried dumplings...done very nicely, so do try that to add to the main order. If you order any more, you might have a hard time finishing your meal. My lunch mate did, but of course, I soldiered on and finished all in front of me! ;) When not up for your traditional soups for this cold season, and matzah ball isn't doing it either (I love that though!)...and Ramen can take you to that comfort place...do try this!!! read more

First of all, walking in the atmosphere was welcoming, modern, and warm. There was nice pop music playing, it was very appealing, and modern with a touch of Japanese culture. For appetizers, I suggest the pork bao bao or the chicken wings. The bao bao was delicious, the pork was tender and bursted with flavor. Inside was also thinly sliced cucumbers, cabbage, and 2 sauces (eel and spicy mayo) made it all. The chicken wings were nicely fried, light and served with garlicky sauce and spicy mayo. If you like spicy foods, both the Sum and the Spicy Tan-Tan ramen are a must. The broth isn't too salty, and doesn't leave a dry sensation after eating it. I highly recommend either the beef or the black garlic ramen as well. Both broths are well made and smooth. Overall, amazing experience. 100% coming again. read more

The seafood ramen included crab legs, but we were never offered a crab cracker, and the scallops were overcooked. The broth was decent, but nothing mind-blowing or worth the price. The seating was also uncomfortable. They use high armchairs that felt awkward and impractical. On top of everything, I couldn't get a receipt because they had run out of paper, and I later realized I was double charged for the meal. The one positive is that our waitress was very nice and polite, but unfortunately that wasn't enough to make up for the overall experience. We won't be coming back.

Their ramen is tasty overall and filled with lots of yummy ingredients. Their bubble was good, bubbles were the right consistency, not too chewy, not too hard. Wait time was about 20 minutes for 2 ramen bowls and 2 bubble teas. Portions are a little small but the price point wasn't bad, matched their portions.

If you check in through Yelp you can get a small bottle of sake with your meal. I tried to redeem but unfortunately could not because the manager wasn't in the restaurant and the waiter informed me she legally couldn't serve alcohol. So, if you're looking to have a cocktail I would suggest calling beforehand to make sure the manager is there to serve it. I ordered the crispy calamari and scallion pancakes for appetizers. Then ordered 2 tacos (fried pork and salmon) and seafood Mi Xian with glass noodles. The pancakes were delicious. The calamari was just okay. The star of the show was the seafood Mi Xian; I could have sipped on the broth alone and been more than satisfied! I had one bite of the salmon taco and it was good. I was expecting the tacos to be bigger and was surprised that only one comes per order but my husband said he was full after having most of both tacos so I guess 1 is actually enough.

Next tome came and I got parking (very rare) almost in front of the store. I got 3 hotdogs (2spicy, 1 regular) and the Jap chae. The batter for the hotdogs was too sweet for my taste, the hot dogs themselves were just ok. The JapChae was just noodles. A cup of lightly seasoned ALL noodles (nothing else). Just noodles. Suffice to say, not stopping by anytime in the future- near or far. I was the only customer at the time and the service was still over 15 minutes. The kid manning the counter could not be of any more help explaining the menu offerings.

My nephew who lives nearby treated us to an al fresco meal recently while visiting for a family event. My pulled pork smashed burger was everything you want in a packed meat sandwich, with an onion ring and tangy sauce on the brioche bun. The sweet potato fries and a refreshing mocktail to drink made for a perfect meal. Sweetie ate a pasta bolognese (I think) which looked and ate good, and drowned it with a nice glass of red wine. It was packed on the Friday night we visited, with folks lined up for seating, or to hang at the bar and enjoy the bar scene. No reservations. Our late dinner worked fine as the mostly millennial and Gen-Z crowd started thinning shortly after we arrived. Millburn has always been a draw for neighboring townsfolk in search of a meal out. I remember this foodie town from 25 years ago, when its pizza, kosher and diner offerings were top notch. It seems to have upgraded its food scene several notches since my last visit so many years ago. Pure nostalgia for me which made for a very flavorful evening. TOP TIP: Street parking in this part of town is a hassle and the local cops keep a sharp eye for illegally parked cars and inebriated drivers. So park further away from the center of town where you are more likely to snag a legal spot on a busy night.

A really good Vietnamese in Millburn!…read more Went with my son, as we are in the area every other week, ordered the butterfly shrimp, paou paou's (a Vietnamese open faced bao) and 2 beef pho with a side of pork chop each (yes I was hungry ) The place is in the center of the retail section of Millburn, so parking was easy with the municipal parking lot, the restaurant seems to be mainly geared towards takeout, but there is outdoor seating on the left of the building, as well as a relatively small dining room in the back. Service was great, and the food was delicious, the Pho was a smaller portion compared to some of the other Vietnamese places in the area, but the flavors were on point, and we def over ordered I'll def be back when in the area

The food here is fresh and really sumptuous. Honestly, they serve some of the best pho we have ever had. The bone broths used in the soup are incredibly flavorful and feel freshly made. Here is what we ordered: * Fresh Spring Rolls: We started with the shrimp spring rolls, which were decent. * Chicken Pho: My wife got this, and it was awesome. * Special Beef Pho: I ordered this one, and it was very flavorful and tasty. The meat quality was absolutely fantastic. * Grilled Meat Pao: My sister got this with chicken and fresh veggies, and she really enjoyed it. On top of the excellent food, their staff was very friendly throughout our meal. I highly recommend checking this spot out, just be sure to get there early on the weekend since it fills up fast!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sum Ramen in Millburn, NJ, and I must say it was an extraordinary experience! From the moment I stepped inside, the excellent service and attention to detail were apparent. First and foremost, I was delighted to find an extensive selection of vegetarian options on their menu. As a vegetarian, it can sometimes be a challenge to find a variety of dishes that truly satisfy, but Sum Ramen surpassed my expectations. Their curry ramen was an absolute delight, bursting with flavors that left me craving more. The richness of the curry combined with the perfectly cooked noodles created a harmonious blend of savory goodness. I also had the opportunity to try the vegetarian tofu bao, and it was simply amazing! The soft and fluffy steamed buns enveloping the flavorful tofu filling made for a delightful combination. Beyond the delectable food, the interior of Sum Ramen added to the overall experience. The cute and well-thought-out showcases throughout the restaurant created a fun and inviting ambiance. It's evident that the owners have put great effort into creating an aesthetically pleasing space that enhances the dining experience. Lastly, I must commend the staff for their outstanding service. The moment I entered, I was warmly greeted and promptly seated. The waitstaff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing helpful suggestions and answering all of my questions with a smile. The overall atmosphere was friendly and inviting, making me feel welcome and comfortable throughout my meal. Sum Ramen in Millburn, NJ, is truly a gem for vegetarians and ramen enthusiasts alike. With their delicious vegetarian options, including the mouthwatering curry ramen and tofu bao, as well as their charming interior, this place is a must-visit. The impeccable service adds the perfect finishing touch to an already fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend Sum Ramen and can't wait to return for another memorable meal! read more

I remember when this store opened a few months ago before COVID started. I happened to be lucky enough to experience the amazing food in person. When they started takeout and delivery again I was delighted. My favorites have to be the black garlic ramen and beef ramen. In addition, the superb appetizers are an excellent starter to the meal. As someone who has been to Japan I daresay that Sum Ramen hits very close. They also manage to add their own spin that seems to infuse other aspects in and cater to our pallets. The broth is so powerful and flavorful. The noodles have the perfect texture, being slightly springy and chewy. The toppings add so much diversity. The synergy of all these ingredients give an amazing experience. Also, now that indoor dining has opened I finally got the chance to come back with my wife and experience the amazing, aesthetic, friendly, and inviting atmosphere. Dining in truly hits differently especially with the amazing staff. tldr: The food is amazing and authentic. Atmosphere and staff are beyond amazing. read more

I visited this restaurant today, and unfortunately, my experience was less than ideal. The server accidentally spilled hot soup on me, and while I was thankfully wearing jeans, my left thigh is still stinging from the burn. I was too embarrassed to make a scene, especially since the restaurant was packed, but the server did apologize, which I appreciated. However, things took an even stranger turn when the bill arrived and I was presented with a tablet to choose the amount of tip I wanted to leave. Given the earlier mishap, I found that to be quite awkward. Overall, it was an uncomfortable experience, and I'm not sure I'll be returning anytime soon. read more

This place had just recently opened. Their atmosphere is very positive and the place has a modern look. My friends and I enjoyed the display of books and figurines on the wall. This place is also BYOB. Their appetizers are fantastic; the fried chicken wings are super crispy on the outside, flavorful, and moist. I've been here several times recently and have been trying all the different ramen. The broth is amazingly packed with flavor which are complemented by fresh noodles and delicious toppings. read more
