" I love this little spot! The staff are the sweetest and the ramen is so comforting! I ordered the spicy miso ramen, which was a delightful kick of flavor. It’s cozy, though be prepared for some wait times. The dumplings were also fantastic. Feels very genuine and authentic, the way ramen should be. I will definitely be coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" The ramen at Maru didn’t quite meet my expectations. The broth could use a bit more seasoning, and I would appreciate more topping options. While it had a nice texture, I didn’t find it very flavorful. On a positive note, the service was great, and the restaurant has a pleasant vibe. I might opt for a different dish next visit to give it another chance. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my time at Maru Ramen, though I had a mixed experience. The ramen was flavorful, but I found the broth a bit too thin for my liking. The chashu was tender, yet I wish there were more vegetables included. The service was prompt but seemed a bit rushed. I appreciated the fast delivery considering it was peak hour. Overall, a decent experience, but I feel they could enhance the authenticity by improving the broth. " (*Curated Review*)

" I didn’t know what to expect, as this was my first ramen experience. The staff were kind and explained the menu thoroughly. I ended up with vegetable ramen and it was lovely! It had an interesting blend of flavors, and the broth was light yet satisfying. Overall, I felt a warm welcome in this cozy restaurant. Can’t wait to encourage friends to visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" Best ramen I’ve had outside of Japan! Everything is flavorful and fresh. The staff are always friendly and quick. I love the variety on the menu, especially the vegan ramen options they have. The dumplings are also a must-try! The only downside is that the restaurant can get quite busy, but it’s straight-up worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" A good experience overall, but I feel like the hype may have set my expectations a bit too high. The ramen was good, but I've had better elsewhere. I enjoyed the hangover ramen, which was flavorful, but the broth could have been richer. Service was excellent; they were attentive and quick, which I appreciated. I am not sure if I would return, but I wouldn’t rule it out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Maru Ramen last week and was pleasantly surprised by how authentic everything tasted. The spicy seafood ramen was excellent—definitely not for those who shy away from heat! The wait staff were friendly, and I appreciated their recommendations. The atmosphere was cozy, and I found it perfect for a casual meal. I will be back for sure, especially to try their vegan options! " (*Curated Review*)
