Ramen, rice bowls & other Japanese offerings are served at this snug eatery that has artful decor.
"“Spicy” is, perhaps, relative. That’s why snug Zuru Zuru near Malden Center lets you choose between four heat levels for your ramen, from mild to “hell spicy.” Customize bowls of pork bone-broth ramen plus a host of toppings (fried chicken karaage, wood ear mushrooms, and pork belly, to name just a few) with dollops of spicy rayu paste. The chili and sesame oil condiment definitely brings the smokey heat, so have some napkins handy to dab your forehead." - Nathan Tavares, Eater Staff
"Throughout most of the pandemic, I’ve avoided getting ramen as I figured it’s not one of the most ideal delivery/takeout options, but it turns out a lot of ramen spots have gotten good at optimizing it as much as possible for not being eaten immediately onsite. One example: Zuru Zuru in Malden (sibling to Crying Thaiger, also in Malden). My ramen arrived with the broth and nori packaged separately from the noodles and other ingredients, with clear reheating instructions. (There was also the option to get noodles to boil at home rather than ready to eat, but I took the easy way out, and the noodles were perfectly fine.) The spicy miso ramen with black garlic oil added to it was an excellent pick-me-up on a stressful day. —Rachel Leah Blumenthal" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle, Nathan Tavares, Karen Wilber
"I got delivery from the recently opened Zuru Zuru in Malden (sibling to Crying Thaiger, also in Malden), and it arrived with the broth and nori packaged separately from the noodles and other ingredients, with clear reheating instructions. I got the spicy miso ramen with black garlic oil added to it, and it was an excellent pick-me-up on a stressful day." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"The north shore got a new Japanese restaurant in December 2020. Zuru Zuru specializes in ramen and donburi." - Terrence Doyle
