As a ramen fan and someone who has tried many options around the city, I have to say this is up towards the top in regards to flavor and options. It’s not my favorite, but it’s a top contender. Certainly the closest to me that I like the most now.
First of all, any place that offers TanTanmen is just… Awesome. My favorite flavor and my go-to every time. Theirs was delicious and second best I’ve had.
Also judge places harshly on their chashu. Often times places will claim to have Chashu but it’s flavorless almost shaved pieces of pork that are just disappointing. This place had thick cuts of melt in your mouth goodness with nice texture.
Price for size and value… They’re toward the pricier side. Many other ramen spots are way better on price, but only by a couple dollars. This is pretty expensive, when considering the upcharges given for adding items that are fairly basic at other places. Makes me not want to visit too often. Things like Chashu, or egg aren’t included and add a couple bucks on making your bowl reach $20 pretty easily. Something other ramen spots don’t really do often.
Got their chashu buns, and they were delicious.
Tried the Gyoza and they were pretty decent, I liked them pretty well.
I see myself returning but it’s hard to say I’d be a regular given the fact that in order to get my tan tan how I like it, I’ll be spending $20 a bowl every time or more when I can spend $12-$16 elsewhere for all the things I like already included. At my favorite spot, tan tan is $14 for a big bowl that includes everything mentioned. Chashu, egg, etc. with no upcharge. Hard to compare.

They had fried tofu buns as a special. The tofu buns were really good. It had teriyaki sauce and some sort of green pepper on them. Also, got the chicken katsu ramen. It’s slightly more than the other ramens on the menu but they give a lot of chicken and a good portion of everything else.

Good service very nice. The food was really hot too and the beer was great and cold. However, and many might not even notice but I lived in Japan for 10 years so I noticed. The curry and the ramen are missing something like not enough spices and taste. I have packages of coco’s curry from Japan in my house and it’s not even close. Same with the ramen. It’s missing more flavor like you would get in Japan. It’s ok and hot but for the price I was hoping for something closer to what you would eat in Japan. Yeah, I know it’s Ohio not Japan but it has the making of a excellent ramen and Japanese food place if they just get the spices right because it’s bland. Maybe take a business trip to Honolulu and go to Ramen Ono-ya and you will understand if you can’t make it to Japan. That ramen is da bomb. Also Thunder Ramen in Japan.

This is real authentic Japanese Ramen place run by Japanese people, which is hard to come by around here. The food tasted good, and the staff was very polite and kind. We dined in for chicken katsu curry, spicy miso Ramen, and beef tongue special. They were very delicious. We went there on Sunday and were very impressed so we had take-out on Wednesday again. I think I found a place to fill my Ramen cravings. Highly recommend!!

Stopped in during the snow storm and they agreed to stay open and wait for us which was an amazing gesture. Customer service A+. Ramen was amazing. Great portion size. Loved the karaage chicken and gyoza. If and when I’m back in town I’d definitely be back!

Pros: The interior was simple yet stylish, cool art on the wall. Didn’t try the alcohol menu, but the drinks looked fabulous. The service was good and attentive.
Cons: The gyoza tastes undercooked, pre-frozen packaged, and miceowaved. Sure enough, saw a microwave in the back. The gyoza sauce tastes greasy. The miso ramen was bland, oily. I was excited for the Japanese beef curry udon, but the curry sauce tasted yucky and the beef chunks literally reminded me of the beef chunks found in Campbell’s line of canned chunky beef and potato soups.
Conclusion: I was initially optimistic, but quickly let down. The server was understanding and fair, took the items off our receipt when we decided to just leave.

We were excited to try this place for lunch, based on the positive reviews. I’ve experienced great ramen in Japan, Chicago, Indianapolis, and here in Cincinnati – I was optimistic.
The atmosphere and service were good, but the food left us lacking.
For starters, the gyoza was not cooked all the way thru. The woman running the front handled it correctly – she apologized, refunded the money, notified the staff to take corrective action, and even offered a complimentary dessert. However, it’s hard to recover after a meal starts like that.
I had the spicy tonkotsu ramen, which I thought was a bit lacking in depth of flavor – it wasn’t very spicy either. The noodles were just okay and a bit too soft – I assume they are the mass produced variety and not made in-house like at Mochiko. The chasu was especially thick, fatty, and rubbery – I didn’t find it to be very appetizing or flavorful.
Overall, a disappointment and we will not be coming back.

First time here, and the food does not disappoint. We ordered Gyoza, Spicy Miso Ramen and Hiyashi Chuka. The pork in the Gyoza was flavorful, with a nice sear. The Spicy Miso was not overpowering and had great depth of flavor. My wife thoroughly enjoyed the Hiyashi Chuka, watch the mustard on the side, it has a kick. Only minor comment, the music was slightly louder than we enjoy, but tolerable.

We have been to Zundo Ramen several times we actually drive down from Miamisburg to eat here as they are so good. Service has always been exemplary and in a timely manner. I would highly recommend that you pay them a visit!
