Zen Street - Riverside

You get there and nobody greets you, no interpersonal communication at all and then you have to fill your own order on a kiosk? took my number and sat myself down. Ramen I ordered had two pieces of meat in it, stale mushrooms and broth was lacking any real flavor. For nearly $20 a bowl this place is NOT worth it.. gave it a second try after having another bad experience and yup still ?? would not recommend.. Over rated hipster spot.

Been coming here since it opened and the owner does the cooking herself most of the time. It has been delicious since the start. Never fails to leave me full and happy! I hope she has business for a long time!

I've always passed this place hoping to try it and now I did ??. I went during a regular work day so it was empty when I arrived I was greeted by my host and she was so nice. She started me off by giving me Yuzu tea (so good). You are able to order from the table via QR code or on the kiosk. I ordered the tonkotsu with extra egg, seaweed and mushroom and it was delicious I also ended up taking tempura mushrooms and let me tell you it was so good! Will definitely go again and try new items. Recommend you order the Yuzu with butterfly pea flower so refreshing and good.

One star off as the takoyaki tastes nothing authentic and is too sweet. Like a wet sweet dough topped with honey mayo. The ramens are tasty and beautiful under the sunset from window seats. Volcanic ramen is savory but too heavy for me. I ordered the sober ramen (lots of veggies!! .

The atmosphere was in fact very zen. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because no one greeted us upon arrival and the way you have to order is through QR code and either our phone service or the link was super slow. After trying multiple times to order finally someone came out to take our order. The food was delicious. We ordered the mushrooms tempura, the shrimp tempura, pot stickers, teriyaki chicken with fried rice, falling Ramen and the volcanic Ramen. The Ramen was my favorite. The mushroom tempura was cold in the middle.
