    Delicious ramen, bobas and great service. They have a beautiful ambiance and decoration all around. If in the area this place is a must.

    My sister and I were super excited to see a new ramen place in Ocala! The restaurant is very cute and well decorated and when we went for lunch it was quite busy! There seemed to be a lot of people who placed take out orders. We ordered a lychee slush and peach slush, both which were delicious! We however were pretty disappointed with the food. Our bao buns were incredibly salty and we couldn't even finish them. The ramen was a HUGE portion for what it was but lacked in flavor. The broth had no depth and was not a true tonkatsu broth unfortunately. I would recommend this place only for the drinks, but would be open to trying maybe some other items on the menu. Hoping for a better tasting next time!

    The ambiance was like I was transported to Japan. Very modern decor and very clean. The service was very attentive and we even got a free off the menu mochi flavor. The apps were delicious, but not mind blowing. We got the goyza, spring rolls, and fried tofu. The goyza was average and the fried tofu was too big. The spring rolls were my favorite. I got the hot and spicy tonkatsu ramen. This was the star of my lunch. The egg melted in my mouth; the broth was spicy yet full of flavor; the pork belly was devine; and the noodles were perfectly cooked. My wife got the fried chicken boa buns. She said her only complaint was that lettuce was used instead of shredded napa cabbage. Then there was dessert... We got 1 off each flavor mochi!!! Both the strawberry and mango were flavor bombs. The chocolate was too dense and lacked a flavor wow factor as the strawberry and mango. Then the gift of the matcha mochi was DELICIOUS and I'll probably be bouncing off the walls for the rest of the day with how much matcha was in it. Finally, we both got iced jasmine green tea... We couldn't get enough!!! It was like drinking the nectar of the Gods.

    Half lychee and half taro boba

    Food here is very consistent. Spice level to the spicy ramen was perfect. The chashu pork had a significant amount of fat with only a bite of actual meat which was disappointing. However, the ramen tasted very nice overall with the noodles cooked perfectly. Calamari was also delicious as was the boba, though nothing overly spectacular. Food came out extremely quick which was appreciated. *please note that the rating is appropriate according to Ocala standards

    First of all the waiter was soooo sweet and patient! He really made our experience a pleasant one. My mom and I split an order of the bao buns and a chicken ramen. The amount of food was perfect! They even offered to split the ramen into two bowls for us. The flavors were delicious. The only reason I needed to deduct a star is because the egg is my favorite part of ramen (I even ordered an extra one) and it was overcooked. It should be a nice jammy egg, not hard boiled! But it was delicious anyway and we will be back :) One more thing, there was someone soliciting for donations inside as we were eating and it was a little uncomfortable. Maybe a sign out front could remedy this.

    Best ramen so far in Florida. The broth is what makes the ramen and if your a foodie like me you'll know when the ramen is delicious or not. Broth takes time to make. Service was great and the place felt and looked clean and inviting Black Garlic Tonkatsu and done!

    Taro boba, Thai tea

    Zuru Ramen Boba in Ocala offers a convenient and trendy spot for Asian fast dining, something Ocala hasn't seen much of before. The ramen here is decent, with a good amount of broth, and the noodles have a nice texture. The pork belly is flavorful, and for a richer flavor, I'd suggest going for the tonkotsu-style ramen which offers chili oil and black sesame oil. Service here is really fast every time Ive dined in. While it may not be the most authentic ramen out there, it's pretty solid by Ocala standards. (locals will understand this lol) The chicken karaage is not bad, featuring a satisfying crunch and a tasty sauce. The seaweed appetizer is a personal favorite. And when it comes to boba, its probably the best variety in the area. I tried the taro milk tea and the Thai tea, both of which hit the spot. While it might not be as famous as some other places, like Domu in Orlando, Zuru Ramen Boba satisfies your ramen craving right here in Ocala. It's a no-frills spot with good Asian comfort food and boba that's definitely worth checking out.

    Ramen and shrimp tempura bowl. Yummy!
    Kim W.

    The food is exceptional and ramen portions generous! I love the way it is presented, and the service was stellar. The place is not huge but it is pleasantly cozy. The boba milk teas are really good too. A new favorite in my book!

    This ramen shop is a great addition to the Ocala area. This is tucked away in the Market Street At Heath Brook - which is a great shopping center full of stores and restaurants and even a movie theater. When walking into Zuru - they have an array of indoor seating. Our waiter gave us menus to look over and when glancing over the restaurant - it was a must that you get a boba drink and obviously ramen. We started with appetizers from salad, seaweed salad, and spicy chicken and shrimp tempura baos. My dad and I ordered the spicy ramen with chicken, whereas my mom ordered the shrimp tempura udon. The food came out relatively fast which was surprising. My drink order however - the coconut milk tea with boba pearls was very creamy, and not overly sweet. I really love the drink options that they have from fresh fruit teas to flavored teas it is truly endless. As for the food, this place was definitely be a go to spot for ramen as the spicy ramen came in a huge bowl with the ladle spoons which were perfect for slurping up the broth. We substituted the meat option which was pork for chicken in our bowls. There was a lot of chicken and toppings which made the bowl very rich and savory and I really had no complaints. If you like spicy - definitely go with this ramen bowl. As for the apps, my dad loved the salad he devoured it down. The seaweed salad was ok, but for me the spicy chicken karaage which is a Japanese fried chicken was the star of the apps. It was very crunchy, crispy, and lighter batter. It had a different taste from your typical Southern fried chicken. The bao buns are super fluffy and soft. Since there was so much food, especially ramen - we did ask for to go containers and to our surprise the containers were these nice to go ramen bowls. I can't wait to go back and get that spicy ramen with a boba tea!

    The food looks good but I think it could have been better! Did not like the Boba tea as much. The service was okay, but inside this restaurant is very nice nevertheless. The set up is pretty good.

    Sriracha sauce to give flavor!
    Beth L.

    The service was great but the food is bland and tasteless. We had the potstickers and the chicken ramen. We had to ask for sriracha sauce to give it something. I am so disappointed as I was so looking forward to it.

    Most people who haven't visited a ramen restaurant often ask why a bowl of ramen would be 13+ dollars. I think most often it is assumed it is anywhere close to 0.99 packet in the grocery store. They exist in different categories. Excellent ramen broth with a rich taste. The noodles are of a higher quality texture and tase than most Italian restaurants. Generous with portions! If you are eating in you can sit at a table and wait for a server or ask the cashier for help. If ordering to go you can approach the cashier and order take out. This Bubble tea is the best in Ocala. Since eating here once I no longer visit any other locations. A strong recommendation from someone who has eaten at many ramen and bubble tea locations all over Atlanta and Tampa/Orlando.

Unfortunately for me I was looking for a brewery experience and Big Hammock is not that. They do have a good amount of local craft beers on tap which is a definite plus. They just didn't have any of their own beer. Maybe they are brewing, but if they are not, they should change the brewery in their name to brew pub because the name is definitely misleading. It is really awkward making this review, because I really did not get the full experience. I walked in, looked around, checked out the beer menu, asked if they had any of their own beers. When that answer was "no" I left. The end.

It was packed when we were there, but we were able to find 2 seats at the bar, which was perfect. We got to watch the short order magic happening in that tiny kitchen. Because we got to watch the food prep, we ended up ordering several dishes to split. I'd call it Asian fusion. We had a ramen bowl, some bao buns. It's a nice vibe. Murals on the wall, and doors that roll up for inside/outside service when the weather is nice. They do offer food takeout, so if you can't find a seat, have a beer while they put your food together to eat at home.

It's in a really nondescript location, tucked away in an old gas station store. The store was a combination of hot food and some pantry staples like gochugaru and ramen.

This is located inside a gas station, so when you enter it looks like a regular convenience/gas station, but then you see the menu with all the dishes they offer.

I didn't wait long, it took about 15 minutes and while I was there, I got to look around and noticed all the Korean products around the store. Once I got my food, I sat at the tables they have in a corner and got quite a bit of food. It's a good serving. After trying the Japchae, I understand now why this spot is so highly rated. The Japchae was well seasoned came with a lot of delicious veggies and a side of rice. If this spot was close by I would eat there on a weekly basis! Really great spot to check out when in Ocala.
