Pleasantly surprised by this little Ramen spot we stopped by on our way home. Waitress was super friendly with the coolest New Orleans accent. Place had a cute decor and intimate feel. - anonymous ramen: good flavor in the sweeter side and has a solid kick. 4 out of 5 - tonkatsu ramen: sweet rich broth 4 out of 5 - shoyu ramen: nice rich salty broth, my son loved this 5 out of 5 - tonkatsu curry rice: hubs thought the curry was too sweet and the meat was on the tougher side 2 out of 5 - Takiyaki Balls: light with great flavor, loved the texture 5 out of 5 - potstickers: dipping sauce defs made this dish 4 out of 5 read more

I hate to give any business a one star review. I would have given it a 2 to 3 star for service and food, but it gets one star because my brother and I got food poisoning after eating here. We shared the philly roll so we think the salmon was bad. We also got separate ramen bowls. The miso ramen broth had a good flavor but the drunken ramen was pretty bland besides a straight basil and ginger flavor. The pork was very firm and difficult to chew in both of our meals. The egg was closer to hard boiled than soft boiled. The noodles were cooked well. The thai tea was decent. It was extremely sweet and diluted and didn't have that strong flavor most thai tea has. Service-wise, the waitress was friendly but she disappeared from the floor after giving us our food for about 30 minutes and never checked in with us or was available when we were ready to leave. read more

We visited as part of a group of 14 on Friday night 5/1 and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience from start to finish. From the moment we walked in, something felt off, and it quickly became clear the restaurant was significantly understaffed. We later learned the same person was acting as the cook, cashier, and server. It took over an hour for any food to begin coming out to our table, and even after nearly two hours, meals were still trickling out. I never received my food at all. What made this even more frustrating was that there was no clear way to communicate with staff. There was no cashier available, and we weren't able to let anyone know we wanted to cancel the order given how long it had been. My spouse ended up paying for a meal I never received. After waiting that long, I eventually had to leave without eating dinner at all. I came home and had a protein shake instead, which is not how anyone expects their night to go after going out to eat. To be fair, others in our party who did receive their food said it tasted very good, which makes this even more disappointing. I understand that this may have been an off night, but the lack of communication, excessive wait, and inability to resolve the issue made for a really poor experience. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. read more

This place is right next to my work and my coworkers had said it was good. I had the Shoyu Ramen bowl, not spicy with pork belly. It was good. Just good, not great. It was luke warm when I ate it, and my office is 3 minutes from there. There were two pieces of pork belly, a hard boiled egg and some white things, and lots of noodles, And even more broth. It was bland. I asked for non spicy, but it didn't have much flavor. Also, expensive. $17.00 for just the bowl. No drink. The menu is big and they have sushi and curry dishes, and its super convenient so I will give it another chance, but first try is meh. read more

Zen Street isn't trying to be trendy or fancy, and that's exactly why we keep coming back. It's a small Thai and Japanese spot with cozy indoor seating, usually quiet, and just a comfortable place to sit down and eat without any fuss. We almost always order the pad Thai, and I'm normally the volcanic ramen guy, but since it was Valentine's Day, I went with the falling ramen instead. Still full of flavor, just without the spice level trying to prove a point. We actually showed up about an hour before our reservation, which was already early for Valentine's dinner. The moment I told Lily the reservation was under Jacqueline, she lit up and said, "Oh, she's my favorite," and sat us right away. That's the kind of place this is. Service over the past year can be quick or a little slower depending on the night, but we never feel rushed, and that relaxed pace is part of why we like it. The food is consistently fresh and tasty, and they do a great job with allergy-friendly options. There's a gluten-free menu, and peanuts only show up if you request them. Since our daughter has food allergies, she actually looks forward to when we go here and usually puts in her own to-go order. You know a restaurant is doing something right when both the adults and the kids are happy. This has become our regular spot--no pretense, no pressure, just good food and people who treat you well. read more

Just had an outstanding meal at Zen Street, and this was a trio that understood the assignment. The chicken ramen was deeply flavorful with a solid, comforting broth and well-balanced ingredients nothing muddy, nothing overpowering. Every bite worked. The shrimp tempura? Light, crispy, and dangerously tasty (the kind you keep reaching for without realizing it). And the egg rolls were fantastic, crispy on the outside, satisfying on the inside, zero grease fatigue. Altogether, a clean sweep. Delicious food, strong execution, and a combo that hits from start to finish. This is absolutely going into the regular rotation. I'll be back soon and hungry. read more

The restaurant js cute and clean. Our server lady is nice and friendly. The portion and presentation of the dishes are nice. However, unfortunately, the taste didn't match our expectations. The tonkatsu ramen broth was thin and too salty. The beef teriyaki is too sweet. And the extra oil made the rice on the bottom greasy. Or maybe we just ordered the items that they're not good at. read more

The food was amazing. It's a quaint little place that a lot of people overlook. They just don't know what they are missing. Every dish I tried was excellent. Also for Mother's Day they gave my wife some green tea ice cream. They definitely made it in house. Zen Street cares about their food they put out. Plus I understand they have a great happy hour. We will decently be coming back. read more

On 12/28/25, we were seated all the way in the back where it was extremely crowded and were not offered the option to sit in a less crowded area near the windows. To make things worse, our table was right in front of the hallway leading to the bathroom. After other guests used the restroom, unpleasant smells came directly toward our table. It was disgusting, and because of this experience, I will not be returning. I gave this place a second chance after a very long time, but unfortunately it was just as disappointing. The food was very bland and lacked flavor overall. I ended up with a headache after eating here, and shortly after, both my wife and son had diarrhea. I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen. The broth was bland and missing depth of flavor, and the pork was tough instead of tender. My wife ordered the Chicken Pad See Ew with chili to make it spicy. The noodles were all broken and no longer than about two inches. I'm not sure if that's normal here or if they used scraps. The dish was not spicy at all and lacked flavor. My son ordered chicken stir-fry rice and a California roll. The stir-fry rice was also bland, and the rice looked almost white. The best part of the entire meal was the California roll. If you're looking for good ramen, I recommend HiroNori. For great Thai food, Rice N Spice in Moreno Valley is a much better option. Unfortunately, this place just isn't it. read more

The service here sucks tremendously! Prior to coming in today 4/21, we tried to call to place our order but no one answered the phone and the recording stated they were closed for Easter. So we came in today 04/21/26 at lunch time around 12:10pm, placed my individual order amongst my 3 other coworkers. It took them 37 minutes for them to bring out our takeout orders, only to find out the girl that was working the register didn't put my order in even though she took my cash to process the payment. Once she handed 3 bobas and 2 orders of potstickers to my coworkers, she just said "oh, it must have now been put in" - I ended up telling the cashier just to give me my money back since I don't have another 37mins to wait since I'm on lunch break. The cashier then asks me "do you remember how much your order was?" Additionally, I could understand if the restaurant was flooded with people but there was only 2 other customers in there. Never again, not because the food... purely on the customer service is horrible and the girl was not even apologetic about her mistake. read more

I honestly don't even know what this is. They should not be naming this "ramen" It doesn't have any flavor, the meat is dry. You can see the broth has no color. This lacks flavor. read more

Fantastic thai food ! So glad I found a really good Thai place. Service was excellent. People very friendly read more

The food here is amazing, best we've found in Riverside for Thai and Japanese. This is our second visit for sit down at the restaurant in a month. First time we did take out and it was quite fresh and delightful. Appetizers like tempura shrimp and Mao Mao dumplings are tasty (ask for the sauce tray) and have good portions. Tongotsu soup is fantastic with a very nice broth. I substitute udon noodle because, well, udon right? Service is Goldilocks perfect. Friendly and just the right amount of presence. We highly recommend Zen Street--we are picky when it comes to Thai/Japanese. It rivals Hanuman in Costa Mesa, which is saying a lot. read more

We had eight people in our party and suggested we let them know what time we'd be there so they had tables ready, The service was friendly, prompt and sweet!

Id love to come back and try new dishes! read more

I would recommend this place, it's nice small dark little spot. We went at night so parking was nice, and no issue. I ordered the beef Ramon with lime Chile flavor level 3, it was tasty but the beef was a little raw for my liking. I know beef normally comes raw in pho and Ramon so the juice cooks but didn't really like it raw. Beef potstickers were 8/10, pork bun 10! My son said the best he's had. Ordered salmon sashimi, small but good. My husband ordered Thai chicken basil fried rice, he had very little chicken he rates 7/10. My daughter ordered the SP roll, the name it too long to pronounce lol waiter said oh I call that the SP Roll, had salmon , shrimp and sauce that was delicious she races 8/10. My son got Chai milk tea he Said 10/10. Overall I give this place 4/5 stars it would be 5 however service in the beginning was slow. I would be back and update my review. read more

Came here for lunch break from jury duty. Wanted some noodles. Ordered their volcanic ramen with extra noodles. Extra noodles came on the side. Noodles themselves were cooked perfectly. It definitely did not pair well with the soup. The soup was reminiscent of a bunch of different flavors mixed all into one broth, which I get is a SEA cuisine thing, but it wasn't really what you'd expect in the Japanese cuisine flavor profile. From what I could vaguely tell, it had pork, some Thai chilis, maybe some fish sauce, and maybe some miso. I asked for it to be very spicy, and they added two uncut Thai chilis into it. There was also an egg that was whisked into it alongside the ground meat. Too many conflicting flavors embedded directly into the broth itself. People have certain expectations when they order a dish marketed as Japanese ramen. The broth should be simple. It needs to be slow cooked pork base with a light blend of other ingredients - the pork should stand out as the main player, and you should only subtlety taste the other stuff. The toppings shouldn't be blended into the broth, but should be distinct. The egg should be soft boiled, not whisked into the soup. But maybe that's just what their 'volcano ramen' is supposed to be like. It just wasn't for me. And certainly not Japanese. $22 + $5 tip wasn't worth. Maybe I'll try their Thai food next time instead. read more

Zen street is a pass. I tried this place when it first open years ago and then again recently because I was craving noodles. Service is good and friendly, the place was empty, which should have been a sign. The broth was meh, sad to say it, but I should have just saved my money and bough a cup o noodles. Sorry, but true. read more

Three star review only because they were nice, but the food wasn't that great and is way over priced.

Don't bother calling in a pickup order -- they're still closed for Easter. The effort put into this place is obvious, but the customer service is running on fumes. I waited 37 minutes for potstickers and boba. My whole lunch break evaporated, and honestly, the food wasn't worth the time I'll never get back. read more

This is an underrated Thai and Japanese restaurant that deserves attention. Their food is really good, I mean great. The noodles are well done and tasty. Sashimi is fresh and their sushi is scrumptious and authentic. Service from their staff is outstanding. She says her mom is an Ilocana from the Philippines She is well mannered and polite. read more

The food was very bad no flavor at all. I hate to say a negative comment like that but I couldn't even eat the California roll it was that bad of flavor for a simple California roll I really wanted to enjoy my food since I live an hour away and I was passing thru the 91 freeway craving sushi and it was open late but ill pass next time read more

It was okay. It was quiet upon entering. Only another couple in there. The staff was nice. Only checked up on us once besides bringing us our food. The shrimp tempura was hard. They double fried it way too much. The ramen and pad see ew had a fishy aftertaste to it. They didn't have masago for our sushi unfortunately. Restrooms were dirty. Some of the food was overcooked and hard to chew. The pork was super chewy in the ramen. The mango green iced tea was the best thing. With tip and everything I paid almost $92. So very overpriced for half of the food to be inedible and hard. It was ok. But wish they didn't over cook some things. read more

To be honest the place looks nice in the inside but it was pretty empty. Not sure if they get busier but we didn't mind it!! The inside was nice and clean and they even had board games for guest to play. Which I think is nice. I only came her cuz we were close by and wanted some ramen. I forgot which ramen I got but I will say it was sooooo good!! Will say give it a try for ramen can't say much about the other food yet lolz. read more

Chicken was raw. Be careful. Was eating takeout in the car at night and then when we got home and looked at the leftovers, chicken wasn't thoroughly cooked so each piece was raw. Unfortunately, Pad Thai was tasty but it was raw. Sorta still lacking flavor. The service was great. Lady was super nice and remade our Thai tea with boba since the boba was too hard. Ambience was cool. The food was not it (raw, unflavorful) Bill totally came out to 60+ for three dishes, one boba drink. read more

Been to Zenstreet a couple of times in the past for ramen and that's always been great, but tried their sushi for the first time. That's a definite pass. Also, I asked for a glass of red wine and that was a no go. How can any restaurant not have white and red wine?! And the server didn't have a clue about anything. Last time for dine in for me! I guess I'll just stick to take out. read more

I hate to leave a negative review but the food was horrible. I had the $19 special where we could pick three items and salad and rice came with it. The tempura shrimp was under cooked and the coating tasted like paste. The salad was bland and the California rolls were tasteless. I was really excited to try this restaurant as one of my friends said they ate here frequently. The chef got there late and it showed up on the food. The waitress had to come back several times and say that certain dishes where not available for various reasons. One of us ordered a variety of items and was told after the rest of us had eaten most of our food that they couldn't make the dish because some of the ingredients were not available. Thankfully she was not charge for her lunch. I have to say I was not happy with the food but the people there were very nice. I guess I would be more understanding if it was not for the fact that we were the only customers in the restaurant!!!!! read more
