"One of my favorite ramen spots in the city! I would describe the ramen served here as: clean, simple, flavorful! Not a lot of options to pick from and also not much going on in the bowl: broth, meat, small add-ons, ramen but… what else do you really need? This spot hits different especially in winter (or in general when the weather is cold) There’s also a fun story behind this spot (hint: Tsurumen 1000)"

"Tsurumen is one of the greatest ramen shops in the greater Boston area. Broth is always on point, the wavy noodles are my personal favorite but the thin noodles are great too. The Chashu is some of the best- flavorful and wonderfully tender. They are also incredibly efficient so the line does move relatively quickly but the place is very popular so unless you plan around a non peak time, expect a bit of a wait although you do sometimes get lucky with being able to walk right in. The only thing I would change would be that I wish they had an ajitama egg on the menu in addition to an onsen egg but everything else is perfect."

"Probably the best ramen I had for a long long time, definitely my favorite in Boston so far, probably my fav across US, it’s review worthy. Perfect ramen to broth ratio, thoughtful presentation (definitely rare to see in a ramen place here,) flavor is very balanced (it could use just a little less onion, but that’s my preference, doesn’t affect the balanced taste). Yes there is only minimal service, but it’s pretty normal for a ramen place, you pay after order and before you sit down."

"After coming back from Texas, I needed a bowl of ramen so I took my kid and went to my go-to spot, Tsuramen. Tsuramen is the best bowl of Ramen you will find around Boston. I've been coming here for years, and it's always consistently delicious. If I lived closer, I would eat here once a week. I ordered my usual, Spicy Paitan with an Onsen egg, and ordered the Shio Classic with toppings on the side for my kid. The Spicy Paitan had a nice creamy texture, and layered depths of flavor. The balance of salt was just right, and the spice level didn't overwhelm the broth. The noodles were bouncy with a nice chew as usual. The Char siu was thinly sliced and was really tender after soaking in the broth for a minute. The Shio Classic has a nice clear Chicken Broth but it was very flavorful. My son couldn't stop drinking the soup! I also appreciated the staff separating the toppings for him. Tsuramen's interior space is nice and simple with a few tables, and a counter space where you can watch the chef craft your ramen. The staff was great! They were friendly, and accommodating. There are some decent spots to eat Ramen that are closer to me, but I feel that it is always worth the drive to Tsuramen."

"Some of the best paitan ramen I've had stateside! They really do it right here. Place your order at the counter and enjoy the show of the chefs preparing each bowl to order. Service was quick and the atmosphere calls back to a ramen shop in Osaka."
