Chicago Ramen Mundelein — straightforward japanese in Mundelein. Polished but not pretentious. Honest, uncompromised flavors throughout. Burt: "The spicy red miso is thick and luscious the noodles are thick (like linguine) and the homemade chashu is"

This past early April marked the very first time trying a Chicago Ramen location in general and Mundelein which is the closest location to my house in Beach Park was obviously most ideal. The authentic ramen & gyoza are delicious here and immediately after stepping in here automatically became a time machine for me. I had the joy of living in Japan for nearly 7.5 years from June '80- Nov '87 as a navy brat. Authentic ramen is a way of life in Nippon and many train stations at least major stations have a ramen stop. Japan is slightly smaller than the state of Montana in land but there are 10's & thousands of ramen venues spread throughout. They do ramen well here along with other familiar Japanese eats & beverages. Absolutely love the aesthetic of this venue and kudos to the interior decorators. Clean dining space, friendly service and great food at fair prices. Hope for years of boomin' business for the owner(s).

“I love this place, but please, please overhaul your men's room.”
I love this place, but please, please overhaul your men's room. The restrooms in a restaurant are especially important, and this one is in horrible shape. Once it's done, I'll edit my review, but people should know. It reflects on your establishment's overall cleanliness. And DO NOT SCAPEGOAT YOUR EMPLOYEES FOR THIS. It's a business' responsibility to HIRE AND PAY ENOUGH STAFF TO MAINTAIN THE BUSINESS.

“I’ve had a lot of ramen in the lake county area but this Chicago Ramen by far is my favorite.”
I’ve had a lot of ramen in the lake county area but this Chicago Ramen by far is my favorite. The broth is super flavorful, the noodles are perfect. They have minced garlic and extra seasoning you can put in your ramen to give it an extra kick aswell. I was thinking of getting a job here just so I can find out how they make the ramen LOL! They have great service and you’re never waiting long to get your food, I live 20 minutes away and will still make my way out to this spot at least once a week. They also have a loyalty program if you come a lot, highly recommend!

We went yesterday for dinner and the food was super good with great flavor. We ordered the gyoza and shrimp wonton with egg. We were greeted the minute we walked in and the restaurant is nice inside. Will definitely be back.

“Cute restaurant and good prices.”
Cute restaurant and good prices. I had the Tsukemen w/egg. It was delicious. The broth for dipping your noodles in was very flavorful. And who doesn’t love a ramen egg that’s jammy! The table comes with condiments. And you can choose between using chopsticks and silverware. The staff were nice and offered recommendations. The food was very filling.

“Some of the best ramen I’ve ever had; they have spice balls you can add on the side to adjust to your own level of heat.”
Some of the best ramen I’ve ever had; they have spice balls you can add on the side to adjust to your own level of heat. I enjoyed the miso red curry ramen; the broth was rich and slow cooked. My party of 6 enjoyed all of their dishes including those of us who were plant-based. Prices are super cheap. Service was friendly and attentive. Can’t wait to go again!
