" I had a pleasant experience at Zaru, but it wasn’t without its issues. The food was good, and I enjoyed my udon, but my friends were disappointed with their choices. Some dishes felt underwhelming compared to the hype. Overall, I think I'll give it another shot, as the atmosphere and service are commendable. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had an amazing dinner at Zaru! I particularly enjoyed the wagyu udon, which was incredibly tender and flavorful. You can tell they use high-quality ingredients. The staff were very knowledgeable and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. A cozy atmosphere ideal for date night. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaru is one of my favorite finds in Orlando! The noodles had a delightful chewiness to them and everything tasted incredibly fresh. I was really impressed by the tempura as well; it was perfectly crispy and light. The staff were friendly and made great recommendations. Definitely worth the visit! I’ll be bringing my friends along next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Zaru was nothing short of delightful! I tried the nikutama udon and was blown away by the rich flavors of the broth. The ambiance was perfectly cozy, and our server was attentive without being intrusive. The only downside was the wait for a table on a Saturday night, but it was absolutely worth it! Do not skip the gyoza — they might just be the best I’ve ever had. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was looking for good udon and Zaru didn’t disappoint. The noodles were fresh and the tempura was light and crispy. I really enjoyed both, but the wait time was longer than I expected. Super friendly staff made up for it though. Definitely a unique dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" A truly memorable dining experience! The udon noodles were intricate and very filling. I would have liked to see a few more vegetarian options on the menu, but what they did have was good. Enjoyed the décor, felt very authentic. Would love to come again! " (*Curated Review*)

" Zaru did a great job with their udon. I specifically enjoyed the dashi broth's flavor, rich yet very balanced. The only downside was the portion sizes — they felt too petite for the price. The chic decor added a nice touch, and the service was friendly. A mixed bag but worth exploring! " (*Curated Review*)
