ZEN RAMEN & BAR

The menu is simple but delicious, the service is friendly and fast, and the atmosphere is clean, comfortable, and welcoming. I ordered the beef udon and matcha mochi ice cream. The beef udon came with fish cakes, udon noodles, thin-sliced beef, caramelized onions, a savory broth, half an egg, fried tofu, and scallions. The portion size was more than fair for the price — about $16 before tip — and the bowl was very filling. The udon was excellent. The dish had a great variety of textures, and the broth was rich, savory, and slightly reminiscent of French onion soup. The flavor was outstanding, and the soup itself was delicious enough that I would come back for it alone. The matcha mochi ice cream is my personal favorite of their ice cream flavors, though I could see strawberry or mango being better choices depending on your preference. The service has always been fast, polite, and attentive. The servers are knowledgeable, and the staff at the front counter are consistently welcoming. The restaurant has an Asian-inspired decor mixed with a modern American feel. The seating is comfortable, the restaurant is clean, and the temperature is always pleasant. They also have an alcoholic dri

Let me just start by saying… WOW. Zen Ramen & Bar knows how to bring the flavor AND the fire!, I went bold and ordered the Inferno Ramen Bowl, and let me tell you, it lives up to the name! This bowl brought the heat in the best way possible. Spicy, yes, but packed with layers of rich, savory flavor that kept me coming back for more. If you're a spice lover, this one is calling your name. My husband went with the Hakata Bowl, a classic choice that was comforting and full of umami goodness. He thoroughly enjoyed it,but if we’re being honest, I caught him sneaking a few extra bites of my bowl. So we know who the winner was. 😉 A huge shout-out to our server Ben, who truly made the night better. He was friendly, attentive, and added that extra touch of good vibes to the whole experience. Servers like him make all the difference! The vibe at Zen? Super chill. The space is clean, relaxed, and perfect for catching up over a flavorful bowl of Ramen Overall: 10/10 would slurp again.

One thing that Augusta has been lacking for quite some time was a legitimate ramen and Japanese option that’s not “fusion” nonsense. After trying them out, I can thankfully say that my ramen needs are finally met. The interior was a very modern design, with 2 separate bar areas as well as table seating located around the building. There was a little wait to get my food, but considering how popular they are currently it was understandable. I ordered the Hakata tonkotsu ramen for my entree and omitted the corn, and I got an order of fried gyoza for my side. The ramen I was very impressed with, considering how many half baked attempts we have had locally in the past. The noodles were great and chewy, the chasu pork was tender and flavorful, and the tonkotsu broth was rich and flavorful. The gyoza was great too, very crispy exterior with a juicy inside. Overall I was impressed with zen ramen and considering they only just opened, they can only improve from an already great first impression. I will have to come back in the future to try their rice dishes. Edit: Came back with a group and tried their Gyudon rice bowl. The beef was tender and flavorful and balanced well with the pickled
