After that, co-owner Jonathan Chen told What Now Miami earlier this week, the restaurant is planning to open locations in the Tampa and Orlando markets in 2025.

Expansion has always been the goal for the brand, Chen said. “We have a team that specializes in Asian food, so opening a ramen store was always our goal in Florida.”

“Zuru Ramen Bar is your passport to a Japanese dining experience right in the heart of Florida,” the Zuru Ramen Bar website says. “What sets us apart is our dedication to crafting soul-satisfying bowls of Tonkotsu Ramen, fluffy Bao Buns, and savory Takoyaki.”

Zuru Ramen Bar’s streamlined menu features ramen varieties like Mazesoba (brothless dry ramen soba lightly dressed in a tonkotsu reduction; served with chashu, crispy shallot, fried garlic, onsen egg, menma, burdock, bean sprout, and scallion) the popular Tonkotsu ramen, along with donburi bowls and appetizers that include Karaage, Bao Buns, and Gyoza.

“We are excited to share our food the with rest of the community in Florida,” Chen said.
