“The red miso ramen was the most amazing ramen I have ever had. The broth was awesome, and the noodles were perfect. I would highly recommend going here if you like ramen.”

“Chicago Ramen Annex hits the spot when seeking authentic Tonkatsu style Ramen. The broth is incredible with oo much garlic flavor and aroma. The whole place smells really pleasantly of broth and I absolutely loved the service. Chicago Ramen Annex in Schaumburg offers Jiro-style ramen, which is not commonly found in Chicago. Jiro ramen features a rich, garlicky broth with substantial toppings like chashu, cabbage, and bean sprouts. Appetizers come out quickly with both the Gyoza and Calamari friend to perfection. The Tonkatsu Ramen was delicious with the cuts of pork well seasoned and cooked they melt in your mouth. Noodles hold up to slurping. The Chicken Curry Kaarage was presented well, however expected a bit more punch from the curry sauce. Would definitely make the trek up again should I crave a decent Jiro style Ramen.”

“Prob the best broth I've had in a long time. Will go back when I'm in town again.”

“Very sophisticated and charming! This place is perfect for anyone! Such a great experience and even though the menu seems limited, they have so many great options! We arrived a bit after 9 and they sat us and provided excellent service!”

“Absolutely loved the ramen and the portions are perfect. Server was spot on with all her recommendations. I ordered the matcha tiramisu for desert and the server was sweet enough to give us the matcha cheese cake to try. I should have trusted her when she recommended because the cheesecake was amazing. Loved all the food and the service was great too.”
