Description

While the appetizers steal the show—especially the handmade gyozas with firm, crispy edges and the takoyaki packed with three pieces of octopus per ball—the noodle bowls yield mixed results. Diners suggest steering clear of the underwhelming miso ramen broth and plain egg noodles, opting instead for the richer Zurutto Deluxe with black garlic oil or the spicy, dry Truffle Mazemen. The physical space has its quirks: the dining area on the Zurutto side can feel cluttered with stored boxes, leading some to recommend seating in the adjoining Tenzan 52 for a cleaner, brighter setup.
