“From the silent traveler to all of you, I'm back and I am behind but let me tell you about this place. Quick, fast and good. I will save though the noodles are not authentic. Japanese noodles the takiyaki was pretty good even though it was store-bought. Wasn't freshly made but it was good But this is a very nice, easy place you can bring your family. We saw a lot of good family members coming in which was really good so it's a good place for catching a friend. Small and it's just a little corner shop but it is good. They are short-staffed so be patient but I'll host. This was great. She was really cool. We even talked about soccer in the world cup But definitely give this place a try. It's been awhile since I've been to Chicago, but as far as Ramen goes, I'll give it a 7.5 out of 10”
“Tasty food. Friendly service. Portions are large and the food came out hot. Will return.”
“Food was so delicious! Fast and friendly service and a quiet environment to just eat and relax. Would highly recommend!”
“The restaurant’s quite small with a bar and 3 tables which have 2 booths and 1 just have four chairs. There’s a mirror and it’s situated in a way where the bar area and the 3 tables look duplicated so the restaurant at first glance seems bigger than it actually is. The menu had a decent selection. There was all sorts of ramen, chicken, shrimp, beef, vegetable, white miso, red miso, and appetizers, tsukemen, rice bowls, drinks, desserts, and more. I ordered the Beef Ramen Curry which I knew by the name would be good but it was even better than I expected. Not too salty whatsoever and the beef was delicious delicious. Great portion if you’re super hungry as well. Soup was great.”
“Solid bowl of ramen for a good price. Meat quality is just OK.”
“This is the third Chicago ramen we been to, all are great! This location just like other location, its small, with a bar and like a couple booths and table Menu is just like other location and similar pricing, very reasonable Services was quick, consider We were the only table lol We order all red ramen some with chicken, beef and vegetable. All taste very good the only down size, the beef bun were not that good…. Hopefully they will turn on the heat soon lol”
“Highly disappointed given the rating and the popularity. THe ramen was some of the worst we have had in the greater Chicago area. Spicy red miso ramen: EXTREMLY oily (the picture literally doesn't do the justice), we end up having to use our spoon to scoup out some soup with oil before enjoy the ramen. White miso ramen: it was okay and nothing memorable compared to other ramen place that we have been. Chicken Karaage: more like Chicken rock-hard Karaage. It was severely overcooked, oily and when I poke it, it literally felt like I was poking a rock (and rock shapped as matter of fact). We left the restaurant felt like we took a oil bottle and drank out of it. The oily taste lingers even after we went to a bubble tea shop and ordered a lemo tea to wash it off. While the service and the atmosphere were good, don't plan on coming back anytime soon. Not to mention the pricing is literally high way robbery given the quality. And who charge extra for eggs? Are we still in 2024 or something?”
“The quality of food has dropped since they opened. We had ordered take out and the soup was half of what we remembered. The wife’s soup we found pieces of soap sponge in the soup.”
“Accidentally came here when googling nearest ramen. This is worth the stop. It's 97 degrees outside and I'm having hot 🍜 no regrets omg this is awesome.”
“This is a great place to eat Ramen, do not expect anything more but perfect, tasty Ramen in different varieties. Good value per cost and generous portions...”
