Zuru Ramen Boba 4414 SW College Rd #1460, Ocala Asian Fusion • $

“My partner and I got the mango and strawberry milkshake, teriyaki steak rice bowl, and the calamari. The dining room was packed yet the server did such a great job to make sure everyone got what they needed. I never tried seafood so I was new to it but it was pretty good, especially the milkshakes. My partner loves the boba tea here too, I'm not the biggest fan of boba so I cannot rate it honestly. I suggest going here but watch the price it can be a bit much, it cost us $61.50 total but we did get a couple apparatizers too. The rice bowls range from $12.50-$14.50. great place though.Kid-friendliness: They seemed to be very kind and patient with children. When a party of five came in and one child needed a highchair they immediately grabbed one for them despite their businesses.”

She does not know this, but without her, I would've been in the hospital this evening and violated probation. I'm so thankful there are people like her in this world. Bring your money and shop here. The entire staff are awesome. If I ever decide to move back here, I'm getting a part time job just to thank her and she never has to take the trash out again.

“Customer service goes a long way. I want to give a shout out to Ivy for her warm smile, and very polite manners. She is the epitome of excellent customer service and deserves a raise! She took advantage of every moment to show gratitude and kindness.On top of that, this location is spacious, allowing truckers ample room to take a break and even plug in a laptop to watch a movie and check emails while eating. And speaking of eating, thos location actually made the best fish sandwich I have yet ever had at an Arby's, in addition to perfect crinkle-cut fries - not too crisp, perfect amount of salt, and fresh!My only criticism is that the dining room needed a cleaning pretty badly - several tables had scraps of good on them, and many had trash underneath, with half the tables having their chairs out and ajar. It was not busy at all, and one or two of the other employees could have been out in the dining room cleaning, as it looked like it hadn't been touched since lunch time.Again, kudos should be given to Ivy for her customer service being on point, and even exceeding expectations!”

Broth was flavorful but lacked a certain PHO sweetness that should be there in my opinion. Noodle amount good, but slightly overcooked. Decent amount of onions.”

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The chicken strips were fresh, tasty and moist. The potato wedges tasted amazing. They were crunchy on the outside and light me a. Baked potato on the inside. The seasoning was just perfect. I was not a fan of the baked beans…they were a little too weird looking for me. And I did not care for the taste at all. Did not taste like your regular baked beans. They had some red little pieces in them, just not what I expected. Next time I’ll order coleslaw or green beans. Their deserts were oh so good!

Taking as an example the restaurant chain “Noches de Colombia” in New Jersey that started with one in North Bergen NJ and now there are about 25 restaurants in the NY-NJ area, very successful among the Latin community.”

My partner loves the boba tea here too, I'm not the biggest fan of boba so I cannot rate it honestly. I suggest going here but watch the price it can be a bit much, it cost us $61.50 total but we did get a couple apparatizers too. The rice bowls range from $12.50-$14.50. great place though.Kid-friendliness: They seemed to be very kind and patient with children.

“Saw this place while browsing Google Maps and figured I’d give it a try. The outside look of the building looks less inviting, but don’t let that fool you. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Out of most of the places I’ve eaten at here in Ocala, their food tastes the most fresh and had a ton of flavor. They have a simpler menu with Al La Carte Taco’s, Burritos, Quesadillas and Bowls, but there wasn’t a thing we tried that didn’t pack a flavorful punch. From their chips and queso to their bowls and tacos, everything was delicious. Surprised they weren’t busier. There is also plenty of options when it comes to alcoholic beverages as well, which were just as tasteful.All around, this place just kept hitting the mark. There’s about a dozen tables inside and also a courtyard in the back that’s shaded from the sun during evening which should make for comfortable dining during months we aren’t seeing 90 degree nights or you’re just looking to hang out with a larger group of friends for some good tacos and drinks. Either way, this place has got you covered. Definitely worth a try.Parking: Depending on when you show up here, parking is free on the weekends but a fee may be imposed if you visit during the week.”

“From my experience of eating at many, a McDonald's. I find that by far yeah. East silver strings boulevard location in ocona is by far the most busiest location during the daylight hours. I have found at this location. There's a high volume new employees always. They've made a lot of mistakes and the only complaint I'd have is that it holds me up sometime as i'm busy and don't have time to pull over as they correct some mistake. And I must say that any problems I've ever had that. I've addressed and had time to address. Has always worked out to my benefit. The shift leader, bosses and managers of this location are very understanding. And if they make a mistake unsaid search hamburger data, you keep the mistake and the one you ordered will be right up fresh and ready. And for that I give them 4 stars as busy as they are. And having new employees training all the time, it has to be difficult For the kitchen to run smoothly. Due to the location, I have hopes that a grid crew. We'll stick with them workout the bugs. And add on if they have two, and if there even able to. This is my thoughts about the mcdonald's route forty ocala.

“What an amazing experience we just had at Darrell's Dog Gone Good Diner #11! We were just passing through the area and decided to stop for brunch. With only 2 servers in the building, we were sat fairly quickly, she brought us our menus and drinks quickly too even though I told her to take her time. I could see they were busy and it was only the two of them. I ordered 3 eggs basted with ham and a side of sausage links. The meal came with grits and a biscuit (got a side of sausage gravy with it) which I am bringing home. Most places don't know how to make basted eggs, well this was not like most places. I don't know where they get their eggs from but these were the best eggs I have ever eaten! I used every last piece of meat to scrape the egg up off the plate as to not leave a drop. Eggs were perfect, ham was cooked great and tasted amazing, and oh goodness the link sausage was thick, delicious, and cooked perfectly. My friend ordered the Waffle breakfast. She got her eggs over easy and also said they were cooked perfectly and delicious. Her bacon was on point and she said the waffle was one of the best she's ever had. We figured there would be a bit of a wait for the food to come out with how busy they were, and the kitchen staff even apologized if there was a wait on the food, but we thought it came out much quicker than we expected. I don't have one complaint! Everything was so amazing, I made sure to Thank the kitchen and wait staff for the entire experience. I love checking out new small restaurants, it is always where you get the best food and personal service. I will definitely be telling friends and family about this place and will 100% stop here again when driving across the state!!”

“My boyfriend and I come here quite frequently. I’d say at least once a week. Every time we come in I prefer to have my bread with regular butter than with the cinnamon butter that’s given. Normally, our servers tend to forget to bring the regular butter when I ask which as someone who works in the service industry myself I understand not many people probably ask for regular butter with the bread and it’s easy to forget. So no biggy but I always take into account those who do bring me my butter without me having to ask twice and Raegan did just that. She was attentive, sweet, and on top of everything we had asked of her while we ate dinner. So a huge thank you to her. The only other server who’s done this for us when we’ve come in is named Megan. And she’s just as amazing. Just wanted to give a huge shoutout to these two lovely ladies. We love Texas <3”
