No one can eat wagyu ramen without it! | Must eat in Boston

🍜 Zuru Zuru: Malden’s Ramen Gem—Rich Broths, Chewy Noodles, and Worth the Early Visit This place lives up to the hype. The broth? Fantastic—I went with shiyo (the less salty option), and it hit that perfect balance of savory without overwhelming. We piled on so many toppings, my partner and I each left with half a bowl to take home—no complaints there. Pro tip: Arrive early. It gets busy fast, and waiting in line would’ve ruined the post-ramen glow. 🔥 The Standouts Wagyu Ramen 🥩: 5 stars. Tender, melt-in-your-mouth wagyu, but here’s the catch: The broth wasn’t hot enough to fully cook the beef (a minor flaw). Everything else? Perfect. The noodles? Chewier and more satisfying than the tonkotsu version, according to the table—even I, a tonkotsu diehard, had to agree. Tonkotsu Ramen 🐷: 5 stars. The broth didn’t “wow” me, but the noodles? Chef’s kiss. Springy, toothsome, and exactly what good ramen noodles should be—no wonder they’re famous for them. Rich, creamy broth with all the classic toppings (soft-boiled egg, nori, chashu)—comfort in a bowl. 🥢 Appetizers: Solid Across the Board Everything we tried got a solid 3.5–4 stars. Nothing groundbreaking, but fresh, well-executed, and the perfect lead-up to the main event. 💡 Why It Works It’s the little things: balanced broths, noodles with texture, and portions that satisfy (even with leftovers). Whether you’re team wagyu or tonkotsu, there’s something to love. 📍 Zuru Zuru: Malden. If you’re a ramen fan, add this to your list. Just set that alarm—beating the crowds is key.
