Reviews For ZUBU Ramen - Downtown

I tried the ramen flight and wow, delicious! It was nice to change up the flavour between bites. You get the pork, chicken and spicy vegan options. My fave was the chicken - it’s very creamy! It also looks small, but it’s quite filling!!

The ramen and the flavour were terrific, as was the server we had. We were lucky and came before the dinner rush, so we were greeted, and the food arrived, promptly. We ordered the tonkotsu ramen and pork chashu bowl, along with an unsweetened iced green tea and mango Japanese cider. The latter drink was okay, but the green tea was heavenly... for that drink alone, I will definitely be coming back! :D

Ten out of ten! The spicy vegan ramen was incredibly good and not too spicy. Gorgeous, delicious and the service was great. They have a whole menu page devoted to vegetarian and vegan items

Everything about my experience at this restaurant was great. Pleasant servers, that we're professional, courteous, and patient (with my questions). I am courageous with trying new cuisines, and the handroll did not disappoint. The Ramen dish I ate was also amazing. Finally, whiskey, bourbon, and scotch usually taste like gasoline to me. However, the Hibiki Japanese whisky was fantastic! Overall, it is was a win-win-win situation.

Been coming to this location and ordering pickup/delivery for about a year. Top notch pleasant and attentive service, great deals, and amazingly flavourful food with beautiful presentation. Perfect for any occasion. Felt like it was time to leave a review because they have yet to disappoint.

Their food and service were phenomenal! Came in twice in the same week just because of how good their food was. I love that our server was accommodating and she remembered us :) Highly recommend if you have anyone in your party that has dietary restrictions or is vegan!

We discovered this place on a recent trip to Vancouver, BC. It serves Ramen and Sushi. It turned out to be quite a find. Thier menu is unique and offers something for pretty much every one. We ordered several items on the menu and each was prepared very nicely.
