Zen
Ramen
& Sushi
Burrito

A Seattle kitchen built around one stubborn idea: broth deserves a full day. Our tonkotsu simmers for eighteen hours until it turns milky and rich, the noodles are cooked to order in ninety seconds, and the sushi burritos are rolled the moment you order — never sitting, never soggy. Japanese comfort food, served fast, made slow.

01 / OUR STORY

From the east
coast to the
west, one bowl
at a time.

Zen Ramen & Sushi Burrito started as a small shop with a simple promise: serve the food we grew up craving, and refuse to cut corners on it. Today our kitchens stretch from the east coast to the west coast, but every location still runs on the same rule — the broth pot never hurries. Pork bones go in before sunrise. By dinner, eighteen hours later, the stock has turned opaque and sweet, the way tonkotsu is supposed to taste. Our sushi burritos came from a late-night experiment: everything we love about a sushi roll, sized like a burrito, wrapped in warm seasoned rice and crisp nori, cut in half so the cross-section does the talking. Poke bowls joined the menu because Seattle asked for them — line-caught style fish, sushi rice, and sauces we make in-house every morning. We are a locally owned kitchen, quality driven, and we would rather sell out of chashu at eight than serve a bowl we are not proud of at nine.

THE BROTH

Pork bones, chicken frames, aromatics. A rolling boil for eighteen hours, skimmed by hand, never rushed. The result is a milky, collagen-rich tonkotsu with real depth.

THE ROLL

Sushi burritos are built to order: warm rice, your fish, crunch, sauce, wrapped tight in nori. Big enough to share, good enough that you will not want to.

THE ROOM

Counter seats for solo diners, tables for groups, and a takeout line that actually moves. Steam on the windows, jazz low, chopsticks ready.

18HOURS — EVERY SINGLE DAY
02 / HOW THE BROTH HAPPENS
01

Bones in before sunrise

Pork bones and chicken frames go into the pot while the city is still asleep. Cold water, high heat, no shortcuts — a rolling boil from the start is what turns the stock milky.

02

Skimmed by hand, all day

Someone is always watching the pot. Impurities get skimmed, water gets topped up, aromatics go in at hour ten. The broth is tasted, not timed — eighteen hours is the average, not the rule.

03

Noodles to order, ninety seconds

Noodles sit in the basket for exactly ninety seconds — springy, with bite. A second too long and the texture is gone, so the timer never leaves the cook's hand.

04

Built in the bowl, served steaming

Tare first, then broth, then noodles, then toppings arranged so every spoonful changes. Chashu gets torched at the pass. It hits your table still bubbling.

Questions

Do I need a reservation? +

No — we are built for walk-ins. Counter seats turn fast and the takeout line moves. For groups of six or more, call (555) 010-2030 and we will push tables together.

Is there anything vegetarian? +

Yes. The Veggie Tan Tan ramen uses a sesame and soy-milk broth with tofu crumble, the Zen Garden burrito is fully vegetarian, and most poke bowls can be built on greens with shrimp or tofu.

How spicy is "spicy"? +

You decide. Our spicy miso and spicy tuna start at a gentle warmth; ask for extra chili oil or fresh jalapeño and we will happily escalate. Nothing arrives painfully hot unless you ask for it.

Do you do takeout and delivery? +

Both. Ramen travels in broth-separated packaging so noodles never go soggy; burritos and poke are packed to survive the ride. Order by phone or your usual delivery app.

Can you cater an office lunch or event? +

Yes — sushi burrito platters and poke bars are our catering backbone, feeding groups from ten to two hundred. Give us 48 hours notice and tell us about dietary restrictions; we will build the menu around them.

Are the prices on this page final? +

No — every price here is marked Sample and shows the shape of our menu, not the register. Final prices are posted in the shop and confirmed when you order.

Come
Hungry

Find us in Seattle — look for the steam on the windows. Dine in at the counter, grab takeout on your way home, or let us cater the thing you are planning. If the chashu sells out before you arrive, that is the broth telling you to come earlier tomorrow.
