Zenya Noodle Bar

A great place for ramen in Eastwood area. I usually order Negi Miso Ramen, but this time I had salmon sashimi with sushi rice in a bowl. They gave good portion of fresh salmon with roes. I also recommend their wagyu beef bento.

Today the service was pretty fast, it has the reputation of absent-​minded staff. We had karaage chicken ramen n cha shu ramen w gyoza n takoyaki. Both bowls of ramen were v good, buy takoyaki (deep fried squid balls) were overcooked.

Dig the food here. Good value and surprisingly tasty. Their Salmon Chirashi Don is biiigg! They have a nice wide variety on the menu, so there’s plenty to try.

We’ve been here many times in the past 5 years. We live in the Hills and dont mind to drive 25 mins to get here for the ramen. Great for ramen ONLY if the tanned Japanese guy with grey hair is at the ramen station, otherwise forget the ramen and order something else from the menu like salmon w/​teriyaki sauce, chicken karaage don (my daughter’s fave), etc. We also like the black sesame ice cream. There’s a carpark (free) behind the restaurant and you enter through the backdoor (up the stairs). Service is quick and friendly. Prepare for quite a long wait.

I am no weakling when it comes to spicy food. Being Malaysian I was born with that special chemical that makes you enjoy and appreciate a bit of spice with your meal.
I get drawn to spicy food. Whenever I there is a spicy and non spicy option 99% of the time I have to get the spicy one. A visit to zenya was no exception. I had to get the spicy miso ramen.
It came with a big chunk of spicy sauce sitting on top. Normally I would’ve just mixed the whole thing in but for some reason my spicy 6^th sense told me to take out half and if it wasn’t enough then add more in later. My goodness my 6^th sense could not have been more correct. Even with only half the sauce mixed into the ramen my tongue and stomach were on fire!!! It tastes great in the beginning but got a bit too much towards the end.
So. Anyone ordering the spicy miso ramen. BEWARE!!! GO SLOW!!!

Good Consistent food. Deals are good value for money.

Very nice Japanese noodles — large portions & full of flavor. Can be very busy and might have to wait, sometimes 30min on weekends but I usually just do some grocery shopping, then come back to eat.

I was a little skeptical at first to try a Japanese noodle place in Eastwood (being a predominantly Chinese neighborhood) but I was pleasantly surprised to find the flavours so authentic and the chefs and waitresses actually conversing in Japanese. The ramen here uses cloudy soup for their ramen which I don’t really remember having in Japan, but I have had it in plenty of other noodle shops run by Japanese cooks around the world.
My partner had the ton toro bento box which she swore was excellent.

Great place for ramen. This place is always busy, best to go early to beat the queue. Staffs are polite and friendly. Prices are reasonable.
