Kenzoku Mazesoba: Experience Unique Noodle Dishes in Boston

Such great flavors and warm services and also great atmosphere for the price! Will be back often and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Kenzoku Mazesoba!

We got three brothless ramen bowls to go for lunch, all were tasty, my only complaint was there wasn’t enough veggies and pork compared to the amount of noodles.

This was delicious. I had the Hokkaido donburi and yuzu soda. The staff members are super nice and I got off tracked just by chatting with them. I really love what this restaurant has to offer and would come here again.

Kenzoku Mazesoba is a great eatery for comforting, brothless ramen (mazesoba). The interior is bright and the staff are accommodating. The meal started with three warm Kurobuta sausages that were topped with pickled red cabbage and a mustard-based sauce over fresh greens. Overall, a well-rounded appetizer with a nice balance of textures, richness, and acid. Next, the torched Hamachi roll had fresh fish slices laid on a roll and then torched. The hamachi was then topped with black tobiko and complemented with fresh ginger and wasabi. The roll was light and tasty. The Yuzu Shio Ramen was the standout and featured braised pork chashu and a delicious poached egg. The medium-bodied noodles were a pleasant to chew with the toppings. The vegetable mazesoba (vegan) included tofu soboro, mix of corn, quinoa, red pickles, and other goodies. It was a lighter flavor and we appreciated the opportunity to order the truffle oil on the side. Overall, recommended for a casual and pleasant dinner among family and friends. The food quality and atmosphere make this hidden gem a great choice.

Kenzoku Mazesoba is a new Japanese restaurant specializing in its namesake Mazesoba, which is a brothless ramen served with a wide variety of toppings. They also have a range of appetizers available and sushi rolls. The staff were friendly and attentive, bringing us our food quite quickly as well as answering any requests we had. We got the Yuzu Shio, Tantan, and Thai Spicy Mazesoba. The portion size was pretty good for the price, and came with a decent amount of toppings on top of the food. The sauce went really well with the noodles, and also went well with the rice vinegar provided or the free rice bowl you can also request. The meat was tender and soft, and the noodles were chewy and were great for the sauces. The thai spicy wasn't too spicy, and had a little creaminess on it that made it taste better. Definitely a place to come back and try again.

I had been following this mazesobaまぜそば place for months, and walking in to hear both the waiter and the chef speaking Mandarin was somewhat jarring for a Japanese restaurant. Yuzu Shio: The noodles were properly al dente; onions and Chinese onions added freshness, and the runny-yolk egg was creamy and aromatic. However, the “Yuzu Shio柚子塩” seasoning leaned unexpectedly sweet, lacking both acidity and savoriness. A few circles of vinegar helped restore balance and depth. Nagoya名古屋mazesoba is said to have roots in Taiwanese cuisine. Although this was my first time trying mazesoba, as a Chinese diner, I was surprised to found a sense of familiarity in the slow-braised chashu叉焼, soft, tender, and sweet, which carried a profile reminiscent of authentic Taiwanese lu rou滷肉 (braised pork). Replacing the original minced or diced pork with thick-sliced chashu was a double-edged sword: it improved texture and richness, but the larger pieces made the sauce harder to coat the noodles evenly. A bowl of rice would be served at the end to soak up the remaining sauce, but the rice was overly soft and became slightly soggy.

It was amazing, it's just divine taste, kind and such smiling people. This place is warm and cozy, each dish is like a beautifully composed ensemble of different tastes and textures, it just captures you in a delightful dance of taste delight. Be sure to visit this place, it's the perfect embodiment of skill and love for their work! And there are also wonderful figurines of cats I wish you wealth and prosperity, health and new clients!

Bouncy handmade noodles freshly made each day. The perfect amount of chew and thickness of ramen noodles. They are so tasty and unique that will turn anyone into a poetic after devouring and chewing through a bowl-full in minutes… Oh thee “al dente” of Japanese Ramen Noodles… Preserved in the most undisturbed and non-submerged form possible… Oh thy square angular edges… Created intelligently to only absorb the right amount of sauces nearby… I can go on and on about the poetic part of enjoying these noodles, but I will spare you the details. All I wanted to add is the place is clean and the service is quick and polite. We had the Tan-Tan, Yuzu Shio, Thai Spicy, Torched Salmon, Matcha Latte, an Ume Sparking Water. Came out just under $100 after tips. Stellar 5-star sensory experience!
