Zen Ramen Lounge

"Definitely the best ramen in Madison. I ordered delivery for volcano ramen，karaage chicken and takoyaki，all of them are yummy and worth ordering. Ramen and soup are packed separately，serving size is large and soup base is rich. Will order again"

"I brought someone here on a first date and couldn't have been more happy with my decision! It was quiet enough for us to have a nice conversation but there was music that was just loud enough to drown out the conversations of other guests. The atmosphere was welcoming, the decor was not overwhelming and the lighting was not too bright. We did not opt in for drinks, although there is a bar available with a small selection. The service was great, we got everything we ordered in a timely manner and we were also given our space, our server was very kind. The food itself was delicious, I myself have not been to a restaurant specializing in Ramen, so I went with the house "Zen Ramen", a neutral choice with chicken. I would certainly visit again!"

"The service was fantastic! Server was kind, polite and attentive. The place is really nice and pretty inside. The food was good. We ordered pork buns (needed more filling, but good flavor), Tekoyaki (solid) and Tonkotsu ramen (the in-house made noodles were amazing, definitely best part of the meal; the broth needed a bit more depth in our opinion but still good flavor!) We’re coming back to try the other broths for sure and have some karaage and beer (they had bogo beer). We algo got complementary mochi ice cream for leaving a review. You can definitely see the effort being put into this business, so go and support! :)"

"I tried their classic tonkotsu ramen today and I am impressed. The broth was the star of the show because it’s not overly heavy, porky tasting or salty. Every component was delicious by itself (bamboo, egg, corn, pork char siu, seaweed). The noodles were firm and had a nice chew. Personally this is my favorite Raman in Madison. It was so good I even finished the broth. Best of all, my body didn’t feel heavy after the meal."

"If you're a ramen lover or simply someone who appreciates outstanding food and nice atmosphere, this restaurant is a must go place. You can taste the freshness of the ingredients in every bite. The attention to detail in the preparation of each dish is remarkable which you can tell from the amazing presentations and authentic flavors. I left with a contented belly, satisfied soul, and plans on my next revisit."
