New Zen has been serving Japanese dishes to the denizens of Renton since 1997. Just last year, they started serving a tasty tonkotsu-soy sauce ramen for $9.50. “The combination of tonkotsu and soy sauce makes the most delicious and best balanced soup,” says Yumiko-san, the owner of New Zen. The soup has depth without being overbearing. The slightly crinkly noodles combine perfectly with the soup. The homemade chashu pork is filling but not greasy. New Zen has a lot of repeat Japanese customers because its ramen is both delicious and filling. On your next pilgrimmage to the Renton Uwajimaya supermarket, why not swing by New Zen for a bowl?
