" Honestly disappointed. I was looking forward to the miso ramen everyone raves about but found it lacking in flavor. The atmosphere is nice and the staff was friendly, but I think there are better ramen places to try nearby. Also, the pricing didn’t reflect the portion sizes, which felt small for the price. " (*Curated Review*)

" Such a hidden gem in the neighborhood! The ramen flavors are distinct and made with care. The staff are super friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Despite slight concerns with portion sizes, the quality of food remains top-notch. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on the reviews, but the ramen just didn't resonate with me. There was something bland about my bowl. The service was fine, but the prices for portions left something to be desired. Not likely to return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" Za-Ya offers an excellent alternative for ramen lovers in Brooklyn! Wish their fried chicken was available in larger servings, but everything we ordered stood out for flavor—especially the nice broth! Certainly will visit again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Za-Ya truly captures authentic Japanese flavors in a delightful manner. The ramen was warming and comforting, although I felt the portion size was not quite fulfilling for my appetite. The staff made the dining experience memorable with their attentiveness and politeness. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! The ambiance was cozy, perfect for lounging over bowls of ramen. The menu offered unique takes that inspired us. I had the Yuyu ramen and my partner had ramen with beef—both left us wanting more! I’d definitely be able to overlook the somewhat small portions. " (*Curated Review*)

" The food blew my mind! I never would have thought that beef ramen could be this good. It was rich, creamy, and beautifully seasoned. The ambience was perfect, and service was just as great. I can't recommend the Gyukotsu Miso enough! " (*Curated Review*)
