Zen Ramen & Sushi Burrito - Downtown Tacoma

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Zen Sushi has an amazing lunch promotion from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM that's hard to beat. I tried the Summer Special Ramen for just $9.99, and it exceeded my expectations. The broth was rich, creamy, and flavorful, the chashu pork was tender, and the soft-boiled egg was perfectly cooked with a jammy yolk. The fresh toppings added great texture, making every bite satisfying. The portion was generous, especially for the price. They also offer donburi rice bowls for only $7.99, making this one of the best lunch deals in town. Whether you're craving ramen or a hearty rice bowl, you really can't go wrong. If you're looking for delicious Japanese comfort food at an affordable price, Zen Sushi's lunch specials are definitely worth checking out. I'll definitely be back!

I thought this place was going to be a full-service restaurant. There was only one front-of-house staff member who did everything—taking orders, bussing tables, answering the phone, and serving. I wasn’t sure how many people were in the kitchen, but when I first walked in, I was a little surprised. Instead of being seated and ordering at the table, we had to place our order and pay at the cashier first before finding a seat. There weren’t many tables, and since there was only one staff member handling everything, it was clear that cleaning and resetting tables took a while. At one point, I even had to clear and wipe my own table because the staff was busy waiting to serve food and didn’t notice who had just walked out. When we arrived, I noticed a family sitting nearby and thought they were already eating. But no! they hadn’t even been served yet. After we ordered and waited quite a while, I saw their food finally arrive. Another table that ordered before us also hadn’t gotten their meal yet. At that point, I turned to my husband and whispered, “Let’s brace ourselves 🤣🤣 Looks like it’s going to be a long wait.” When the food finally came, the portions were generous so big and worth the price. However, I was a little disappointed with the taste. The broth was thick and a bit slimy. I wasn’t sure if it was because of starch from the noodles or if cornstarch had been added. Personally, I don’t enjoy soup with that kind of texture. it didn’t taste rich or flavorful, just sticky. On the bright side, the noodles were great—like wonton-style eggs noodles. But overall, the soup base itself just didn’t hit the mark for me.

Really nice place, clear menu with pictures for every item, reasonable prices, the staff is very nice and after you order you just pick a seat and they bring your food over and they bus the table after ypu leave. Place was clean and had fun decor.

First time being here and holy crap it was delicious! Had the fried chicken poke, and it was mouth watering. The chicken was delicious, I've noticed at some places the chicken doesnt stand out that much but here it was so hot and crispy. Will definitely be back.
