" I went with my friends and we really enjoyed the variety of options available here. The bento box is packed with enough food to fill you up, and the ramen selections were impressive too. I’d say this is a great spot for anyone who appreciates Japanese cuisine, but the wait times can be a little longer during peak hours. Overall, I’d recommend giving it a shot if you find yourself in Dahlonega. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have to say, Zen Ramen & Bento exceeded my expectations! As someone who frequents ramen joints, I was truly impressed by the authenticity here. The Tonkotsu is as creamy as the best ones in Tokyo. I also tried the edamame, which was fresh. Not to mention, the ambiance made our family dinner very cozy. Service was prompt, and we were in and out without feeling rushed. Definitely will be making this a regular spot when in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was disappointed with my visit. The ramen was too salty for my taste, almost overwhelming. On the other hand, the staff were very good at their jobs and attentive. The ambiance of the restaurant was nice and cozy, which I appreciated. Despite the food not meeting my expectations, I might return to try some other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" THE BEST ramen ever! I can't express how happy I was to find this authentic place in Dahlonega. They nailed the Tonkotsu; the broth was creamy, and the noodles had the perfect texture. The gyoza we ordered on the side was also top-notch. The staff was interacting with customers actively; it felt personal and welcoming. I will definitely be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a wonderful dinner with friends! The atmosphere is lively, which adds to the dining experience. I went for the tonkotsu, and it certainly didn't disappoint. The flavor was quite good, albeit a tad too salty for my liking. But the service was fast and friendly, making the overall experience enjoyable. Expect a good meal! " (*Curated Review*)
