" Every visit to Zhen Ramen & Grill feels like a mini vacation to Japan! The tonkotsu ramen is authentic and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of richness. The service is always warm and friendly, making you feel like family. I also love how the owners remember your name and order—it adds a personal touch that is hard to find elsewhere. Definitely a go-to for me whenever I’m in East Lansing! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been raving about Zhen Ramen ever since my first visit! The black garlic beef ramen was hands down the best I've ever had—so flavorful and authentic. The staff were attentive, and it felt more like dining at a friend’s house than a restaurant. It is definitely worth the trip from Grand Rapids. I can’t wait to bring my husband here next time for him to enjoy the spicy toothpick chicken that I loved! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been eating ramen for years, and Zhen's black garlic tonkotsu ramen is the best I've tasted outside of Japan! The flavor profile is spot on—just the right balance of umami. The service was friendly, although we had to wait a bit for a table, but it was worth it. Very relaxing atmosphere and the owners are charming people who clearly put effort into their food and service. " (*Curated Review*)

" Zhen Ramen really lives up to the hype! The spicy chicken ramen was incredibly delicious, and my dining partner couldn’t stop raving about the fried dumplings. The host was very sweet and made a point to check in with us several times, which made the experience even better. The atmosphere was peaceful, and I loved the decor. I’ll be back for sure!
