My husband & I ate here at the recommendation of a coworker. We had the Ramen with chicken, Spicy Seafood Ramen, Tempura shrimp, and Crab & Shrimp Sushi. The food was excellent. Just be aware Spicy means Spicy! You might want to go with lightly spiced your first time. They serve generous portions of fresh, delicious food. The waiter was …

I got the beef bulgogi combo with budae tofu stew (med spicy). I must say, Maru has the hands down best bulgogi I've had in Ithaca and probably NYC. The stew was nice and filling, although it's definitely quite spicy, not that I mind personally. I miss the ramen and the anime decor for sure, but I'll definitely go back …

Maru Ramen is like a dream for Ramen lovers and Naruto fans! The walls are lined with new vibrant artwork from the popular anime: Naruto, connected with their amazing food.

First time visit since the conversion from Maru Ramen to Maru Korea. Beautiful and clean interior. Quick and friendly service. After you order, you receive delectable banchan to munch on. The meal comes fast and the flavors were spot on. We will definitely be going back.

One of my favorite ramen spots in Ithaca! Quick service, decent portions, and super tasty. Lots of ramen and side options, plus some authentic Japanese drinks that always hits the spot.

If you’re in Ithaca and haven’t been to Maru Ramen, honestly… what are you doing?! I’ve been going since they first opened and it seems to be getting better each year! The ramen(my personal favorite) has broth that is always rich and flavorful without being overly salty, and the noodles are perfectly chewy. I've tried plenty of other items on …

We love this Ramen PLACE!!!!! Its always a to go place for us when we visit the area. The food is perfect, quality and tasty! With affordable price, we feel like we got tons of the protein (the beef or the seafood). We are never disappointed! The servers were great, either the new girl or the older lady. The Korean …

My boyfriend and I have gone here a couple times before and it was always delicious, however they have now rebranded to ‘Maru Korea’ and have an entirely new menu! I was a bit worried at first because i was a big fan of their Tonkotsu, but the meal i got was SO good! The service was super fast and …
