Beautiful food great service. One of the best ramens I've had in Auckland. The broths are full of flavour and it tastes like a lot of time and effort has gone into making these broths. Noodles are wheat based and just soak up all the flavour. I had the vegetarian ramen, it was sesame and ginger flavoured, it was nice to have something different to try. Nothing to complain about, service is great, waiting time is not long and there is a lot of turnover with customers. I had the roasted rice tea and it was lovely I highly recommend it. Also had 5 type seafood salad, vege gyoza , takowasa, fried squid and paiten ramen, there was nothing left on the plates.

This is a an amazing unique Japanese Eatery. They have a number of fresh takes on some classic Japanese flavors of Ramen. But they also have a signature style of of dish they call zoolmen. These are Ramen but the broth is reduced into a paste. Making effectively a pasta". Would definitely recommend giving this a try. They are also currently serving a bitter creme caramel which is also a winner. Will be here again."

In the past we’ve loved Zool but this time I was really disappointed in the Ramen dry broth dish. Apart from the recipe change and taking off the lovely miso chicken the poached chicken serving was abysmal. There was one piece of very thin very processed looking chicken. And it was not very nice. For a $100 total spend it felt like such a let down and that we’d been ripped off. I’m saddened to say I’ll think twice about eating there again.

We came here on recommendation by our friend from out of town. He reckoned it was the best ramen he'd ever had so we had high expectations based on this. We probably should have ordered the ramen dish he based this off (red chilli miso) but I'm not a massive fan of spice so decided to give the intriguing 'zoolmen' a go. Unfortunately the expectation did not meet the reality. More of a dry noodle lacking flavour so if you're a fan of usual ramen I would recommend sticking to that. I got to try the one my partner ordered and it was definitely better than my zoolmen so I got proper food envy and ask him to pour some of his broth in mine. The service was really attentive even though we were seated upstairs and couldn't go wrong with a plum wine. Will try to go back and give the stock standard ramen another chance. Karaage chicken was spot on.

Great little neighbourhood Ramen restaurant, came here a few times, food standard and services consistently very good. Very well priced for Mt Eden. The highlights for me always are some ramen you can choose up to 4 levels of spiciness, short waiting time and really fresh, delicious appetisers.

Was driving around Auckland just couple hours before our flight and decided to have a quick bite here before leaving.A very happening Japanese bar it seems, lots of people came in and out for quick noodles and left. We had a lot of time to kill so we took our own sweet time. They served some interesting drinks too but I did not try as we were both tired and we had to drive.Tried the fried octopus and it was amazing. Their house ramen, chicken soup, I found it to be very bland but the ramen is very good with a slight hard texture like Italian's way to saying aldente. I think it was my mistake to order their recommendation rather than going with my personal favourite (the tonkotsu). Having said that, it doesnt mean it's all bad just that my choice for noodle is always pork. The chicken soup is also nice but just somewhat too bland for my likings.

I had been to many ramen restaurants in the past in many countries, including Japan. This Zool Zool is among the top ones, because it brings a cozy atmosphere with authentic great ramen variety. I got the spice Tan Tan version and it was astonishing good. The staff is friendly all Japanese from waiters to kitchen. Price is affordable and fair. Willing to come back and see how good are the other dishes.

What we ordered:Cherry and pomegranate soda $5.5Shoyu ramen $19+ GyozaKaraage chickenTakoyaki (I don't remember how much any of these cost)I ordered the shoyu ramen and the noodles were bouncy and delicious. The broth was really nice and savoury but I would still recommend you douse it in garlic and sesame cause it just makes everything better. The pork was also very thick cut and tender, which I loved. I also tried a little bit of the chicken from someone else's ramen but it was very juicy and not dry at all so yay!!The gyoza were delicious, the karaage chicken was super crunchy and still juicy on the outside and the takoyaki never fails. My only real complaints were that the egg was a bit cold and I wasn't a huge fan of the drinks. The food is amazing, the drinks are not (except for the calpico soda which is incredible)
