The Tonkotsu Ramen fueled both my spirit and body. The silky pork bone broth felt like a warm hug on a damp fall day in Minnesota. The perfectly seasoned pork slices unexpectedly melted in my mouth. This was my first visit to Zen Box – my partner and I popped in on a whim when we passed by on a chilly walk. Eating their ramen gave me the courage to face the impending Minnesota winter jack-slap. The service and atmosphere were equally as warm. Our server was just as enthusiastic about our meal as we were. I highly recommend Zen Box ramen to anyone looking for courage. Winter is coming.

Zenbox is the place to go to for great ramen and Japanese comfort food. Everything shines here, from the interior decoration, service and menu! Our family love to come here to dine and there are so many favorites, their ramen in particular is outstanding. The broth is cooked for a long time so that the flavors are fully extracted, giving it a rich and deep flavor.

This was a delight. The food was well-prepared. The Ramen was very good. The drink menu is a hidden gem. The gin-based cocktails were exceptional. They also have some unique Japanese Whisky to choose that make a boozy dessert. It was a great experience. Worth a visit. If I lived in Minneapolis, I would be a regular.

Accidentally found this place to have dinner before a show at Guthries and loved it! VERY FRESH food, great taste, nice atmosphere with Japanese style decorations. I had the Hiyashi Soba Salad and liked it a lot, but simply LOVED their Chicken Teriyaki Bento! They also have other meat-based and vegan Bento meals (served in wooden lunchboxes), highly recommended!
