Ramen Zundo

Yippee! I didn't even know this place opened up in World Square.

When we got there at 7.20ish, the restaurant was buzzing, but we didn't have to wait for a table.

Small white ramen set with a mini donburi curry

Zundo red - Zundo spicy chili oil

Zundo White - Zundo original flavour
The soup base isn't bad. It's definitely not as thick as gumshara, but after we left it for a while, there was a very obvious film of collagen forming on top of the soup!  My favourite part was definitely the Chashu. The fatty bits melted instantly in my mouth and the meaty bits had the perfect smoky flavour! I LOVED IT. The ramen they used was the stock standard thicker cut type they use at ichiban boshi (not the thin noodles I like at Ippudo or Ryo's Noodles).

Portion wise - it's not bad. I was definitely satisfied, but I don't think the boys were.

But overall, I LIKED IT!  It's more expensive than Tenkomori Ramen House (ramen version of Oiden and Mappen), but it's definitely worth the extra bucks. I don't think Tenkomori is that great to be honest.

They have a loyalty card - for every 8 bowls you get, you get a regular bowl for free!  Not bad. So much better value than the Menya one.

Long time no review type post, but I felt obliged to share. I RATE!

i love zundo! i actually find gumshara too thick for my liking, this is like thicker than normal ramen joints but not overly so.

I agree with you!

Gumshara's soup is really gluggy. I always ask for it to be watered down ;D
