Only remembered to take a picture of the ramen bowl, but the spicy chicken katsu curry was delicious as well. The broth for my Spicy Miso was a lot thicker than the usual ramen I get but it didn't make it better or worse. It was just an observation on my end. Tons of flavor and depth in the broth. The pork belly had a great char/crunch around it to give it a bit different texture from the rest of the bowl. The chicken katsu curry was so good. Glad we ordered that to share. The chicken was fried perfectly to blend with the curry. Probably would've been even better had we had not waited to eat it after we finished our ramen. I'm pretty sure the city was a little dead because it was Super Bowl Sunday so they were happy we stopped by I bet. Decor was solid, restrooms were clean and service was very attentive.

Best ramen I've had so far in Cincinnati. We came here with a group of 4 on a Friday night and got a table right away. It's not a huge space though they do have quite a large bar.We got a handful of different appetizers and different ramen. We got the soft shell crab and pork bun appetizers. These were okay, though not sure I would get them again. I got the Shoyu Ramen and added black garlic oil which was excellent. The broth was hot and flavorful and everything in it was delicious. Everyone at the table was quite satisfied with their ramen, including our friend who is vegan and got the vegetarian ramen.All in all, if you're looking for some tasty ramen I would check this place out!

Zundo serves up quality ramen in a trendy atmosphere right in the heart of downtown Cincy. This spot is perfect for a cold day and will heal your soul. The service and the decor are very inviting and the menu is vast. The shrimp dumplings and edamame were pretty good but not a must have. The ramen broth is rich and flavorful and the noodles are high quality. The toppings are also very good and their black chili garlic oil is a must add. Overall, this is one of the better ramen spots in the city and will always hit the spot. That being said, it is too pricey especially with the add ons really racking up the bill higher than expected.

This is our family's go-to spot on Friday nights after a long week of work and school. There is something comforting and serene about good ramen and the atmosphere there. The service is consistently good as well.

The service provided was good, while the physical establishment is compact. Although I was not impressed with the ramen, I have tried numerous other variations and this particular style may simply not be to my liking. The broth was thick and flavorful, but the noodles exhibited a different texture and color than what I am accustomed to. Additionally, I noticed that my spicy miso ramen seemed to be missing certain elements. However, their drink menu is extensive, featuring a range of sake options. If I were to visit again, I would likely opt for the Donburi.

I've usually stuck to the ramen here, as the name suggests, but this time I decided to venture out of my comfort zone and tried the Oyakodon, a delightful chicken and egg dish. This variety is what sets this place apart from other ramen spots in Cincinnati. If you're in the mood for something different, they have plenty of other delicious options to offer.Additionally, their spicy sesame oil is a game-changer if you want to kick up the heat in your dish. Whether you visit their downtown location or the one in Mason, you're in for a treat. The food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is equally inviting.

Decent ramen shop! There was an FCC game nearby so parking situation in the vicinity was very bad, and we had to pay a lot for parking so I'm glad their food was great- it was worth it. Our server didn't mention it but I found a poster listing specials on FCC home game day. We got chicken karaage for $7 instead of $8. I felt like appetizers' prices were a bit high considering the size/ portion. Whenever I see Tantanmen on the menu, I order it. They had it so I got it. The soup was so rich, had a nice amount of kick to it and so flavorful! It would be even more awesome if they had white sesame in it. Karaage was so crispy and juicy. It was very satisfying. Highly recommend it.

Great spot for Japanese food! We ordered their Tonkatsu Ramen and Oyako Don and both were delicious. I'm a tonkatsu loyalist and this is one of the better bowls of ramen I've had in Cincinnati. The broth was characteristically creamy with perfectly cooked ramen. The Oyako Don with chicken was also a nice "light" dish with very tender chicken thigh meat. It was pretty quiet on a Sunday night so we walked right in without a reservation. Look forward to coming back!
