Went on a very cold evening and the ramen hit the spot! Very quick service and the inside was pleasant. Nice spot for gathering with friends and family. Got the black garlic ramen which was delicious. Definitely one of the better Ramen's I have had in a while. Sum Ramen is worth checking out. There are a lot of stores around Sum Ramen as well so it could make for a nice evening in Westfield! I was too full for dessert but will definitely be back again to try more of the menu! read more

If you're looking for authentic Japanese ramen, this wasn't it for me. For the price, I'd rather make the trip to Fort Lee. Unfortunately, it didn't satisfy my ramen cravings at all. The service, however, was great -- everyone was attentive, friendly, and welcoming. read more

Sum Ramen - LIMITED SPECIAL: WONTON RAMEN and Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

Came here for a little ramen date with my boyfriend. I got the spicy tan tan ramen and I highly recommend that one. To me personally it wasn't too spicy at all. I was able to enjoy my meal and my mouth didn't feel like it was burning. My boyfriend normally likes black garlic Ramen, but he decided to try the oxtail Ramen. He said it was okay, but he said most likely he will stick with his black garlic Ramen for next time. I did taste some of his oxtail Ramen and I agree I enjoyed my Ramen way better than his. I feel like the broth the spicy tan tan ramen was made with was super yummy and this is coming from a person who isn't the biggest fan of Ramen. We also tried the curry korokke which was fried mashed pumpkin and we got it stuffed with mozzarella. It came with a side of curry sauce. The curry korokke was okay but it definitely needed the curry sauce. By itself it did taste a little bland but I did enjoy it overall. As for the service, it was great and the staff was super friendly. I would go back if I'm craving ramen. read more

Sum Ramen - Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Westfield, New Jersey

I love ramen and couldn't wait to give this restaurant a try! I went for a chef tasting event. When I arrived I parked in a lot nearby. I walked into a cute BYOB restaurant. They gave us a few dishes of the: Octopus Thai Tum Yum Noodle Ramen NY Strip steak Ice cream and pear dessert The food was amazing every dish. The ice cream was just a little sweeter for me. And the gluten free noodle was more like a spagspaghetti noodle but still good. All in all it was a great experience! read more

Came here for dinner had ramen and the pumpkin balls with chicken. The staff is super friendly. The pumpkin balls are my fave.

Terrible service. You "ll get a super passive aggressive attitude from the waiter. I ordered ramen that was too spicy. They let me change the ramen but talk about just rude service. Instead of apologizing, the guy just talks about how it's not spicy at all. What are the waiters just trying your food and then arguing how it's not that spicy? They have good fried chicken Bao buns but you can get those anywhere. That last experience soured it for me. This ain't authentic Japanese ramen. This is Asian fusion. read more

So glad that Westfield has an Asian spot that serves decent ramen. The chicken bao bun was good. Could have been a tad saucier. The tan tan was a bit different than what I'm used to - which is usually miso based. This wasn't as thick nor did it had depth of flavor. Tonkatsu was good. read more

Had the great opportunity to try this new place courtesy of a friend who invited me to the chef's tasting event. The service was really friendly and kind. The first course was a grilled octopus appetizer. Now I hadn't had octopus in years but this was tasty. Next was our ramen which I thoroughly enjoyed. Next we had the beef dish which I didn't eat since I don't eat beef. However it was prettily presented. The sweet potato that accompanied it was delicious. Last we had the dessert which was a pear crumble topped with ice cream. Now frankly I wish the pear was hotter but it was tasty. It's a cute restaurant and I loved the decor. All in all a good experience. I will be back for the ramen for sure! read more

Food was great, but the service was bad. He forgot one order and didn't come to ask if everything was okay. In the end, I gave him a $10 tip, and he looked disappointed. What did he expect when the service was poor? read more

we came to try this ramen place since it was newly opened. Service was really good and attentive. we shared steamed chicken dumplings this fried mashed potatoes croquett thing. I got the beef ramen and I forgot what Boo Boo ordered. we also shared the chicken rice bowl thing. what threw us off was that the egg for the ramen were extras. they didn't come with bowl. if I knew we would have added them. we almost spent $100 what's another couple bucks for eggs. read more

Really tasty food and extremely helpful, personable service. We've eaten in the restaurant and also done take out. Both excellent.

The proteins were rubbery and over seasoned. The portions were alright but consisted mostly of rice, cabbage, and other cheap bland ingredients. The restaurant likely realized this so they added inordinate amounts of soy sauce to every dish I ordered. Japanese cuisine should focus more on the individual ingredients but the heavy soy sauce dominated every bite. Soy sauce is no substitute for proper ingredients or flavor. read more

Nice family atmosphere the staff remember you when you return. The ramen is what it should be comfort, comfort and more comfort. Absolutely delicious. read more

Another new food court-style fast casual chain restaurant which come and go in this town. The carafe of water infused with fresh mint leaves and lemon is nice, but the garish overhead LED lighting is unpleasant and cafeteria-like. We had the pork belly bao buns (2 for $10). Despite having the corporate logo embossed into the dough with a hot branding iron, the bao buns were sad and tasteless. We followed that with the standard tonkatsu ramen and the chicken miso ramen. The chicken ramen was good. Strips of chicken breast were tender and juicy, the broth had just the right amount of heat, although it didn't have a lot going on. Many of the ingredients you would find in these dishes (enoki mushrooms, cabbage, fish cake, etc.) are a la carte extra add-ons here, which can easily send the price of your bowl over $25. My tonkatsu had vermicelli noodles, not ramen noodles like the miso ramen. Is that the way tonkatsu is made? The pork belly was interestingly crispy. It could have been served hotter, but I never send food back to the kitchen in a restaurant. The one app, two cups of green tea, and two bowls with no add-ins was $52 plus tip. Was it worth it? Inspiration Roll, around the corner, is better and less fast-food-ish. read more

Dangerously salty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insane amount of salt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We ordered vegetable ramen, it was impossible to eat, so much salt. read more

This place is great! Wish their menu was a bit more detailed. They have dumplings but are called gyoza on the menu. This is food that needs visuals in my opinion. I came on yelp to view some photos of the food but didn't see much. I had the oxtail ramen and it was excellent. Wish i had an option to make it a bit spicy. My daughter had the sum ramen, less spicy and that broth was excellent. The service is great and very friendly. Great ambience. Chicken wings come with a great sauce but are very small with little meat. The brown sugar boba is excellent! read more

Not as great as reviewers lead you to believe. If you've had savory ramen, you'll be disappointed esp considering the cost after all the add ons. Totally casual joint with strollers and kids in WF garb / cleats on a Saturday night. Definitely not a date-type place. read more

My son wants to give you five stars :-) it's his favorite place for Ramen. He lives the soup base for tonkatsu and the eggs! Two thumbs up from your 7 year old loyal customer read more

Very solid ramen selection and quality. I've tried several items from the menu. The latest one was the Black Garlic ramen and it was quite good, although the meat was a bit dry. Service is always friendly and attentive and the restaurant space is clean and modern. read more

Good ramen, nice service, good location. Always enjoy having a nice bowl of broth and noodles with this place.

I ordered this delivery so maybe it is better in person, but I doubt it. My wife ordered the tonkotsu ramen which the broth literally tasted like dirty dish water. I ordered the black garlic ramen which also did not have a great base, but the black garlic oil gave it a bit more flavorful. The "chasu" unfortunately in my black garlic ramen wasn't very pork I don't think, but flavorless, grey beef. With the lack of flavor in the tonkotsu broth, I assumed it didn't have enough pork fat or seasoning in it, but when I refrigerated it, it congealed into a giant bowl of lard overnight, so lack of fat was definitely not the problem. I was very excited for a new ramen spot to come to town, but this spot is not it. I will be sticking with inspiration roll for ramen in Westfield. read more

I took my family to this Ramen restaurant. My 12- and 14-year-olds, who are Ramen Experts, loved the food. This family-owned business service was lovely, and we learned about the owner's childhood, represented by the characters decorating the shop's shelves. The man who waited on us was very attentive and surprised us with their special water, which was served free. Ramen fans will not be disappointed. read more

I'm sorry to say, the flavors were not "bold" as one reviewer put it. In fact, I asked for mine spicy, but it was not. The quality of ingredients seemed good, but the dish not outstanding in flavor. read more
