Kyuramen x TBaar - Downtown Chicago

“I heard about Kyuramen thanks to Chicago Restaurant Week.”

I heard about Kyuramen thanks to Chicago Restaurant Week. When we went, we got the $30 lunch per person. The portion sizes, taste, presentation, and waiter service were incredible. I would also like to thank the waiter, Boom, they were knowledgeable and helped us with a great restaurant experience. Definitely a must place to go!

“My eyes were laser-focused on trying a ramen place while staying in town for business and a friend recommended Kyuramen.”

My eyes were laser-focused on trying a ramen place while staying in town for business and a friend recommended Kyuramen. On a Wednesday evening, seating was ample and quick; no reservation needed for a party of one. I sat at the single-seating area with a view of the food prep area. Didn't realize I was there for a dinner and a show! To drink, I started with a Thai Iced Tea. Creamy and smooth - a delightful start to my meal. For my meal, I ordered the Vegetable Miso Ramen. The choices with animal meat looked delicious even though I am a vegetarian. I considered choosing meat again upon gazing my eyes upon the expertly crafted ramen dishes. The miso was flavorful and warmed me up from the Chicago cold. Filled with tofu and a variety of veggies, the noodley soup provided me the comfort I needed and the chow I needed to fill my belly. Even better than the Thai Iced Tea was the Awesome Lemonade. I don't know what magical potion they use to make this lemonade, but it was AWESOME! I ordered my lemonade to-go and was pleasantly surprised by the sweet nectar of the gods that was this lemonade. The ramen was amazing and the lemonade pushed me over the line to be a repeat customer. I will be back so save me some of that awesome lemonade.

“The food was really good.”

The food was really good. I got the Spicy Miso Ramen. It was a little greasy, This place has more of a traditional style with a thicker broth compared to Ramen-San. Overall, everything was great. I also liked that they have different gyoza options. The service was great.Boom was our server, she was really helpful with food recommendations. I’d definitely recommend this place.

“No complaints about food at all; appetizers and entrees came quick.”

No complaints about food at all; appetizers and entrees came quick. Food was delicious overall. Definitely recommend the fried popcorn chicken to start. Lots of drink options. The mango orange smoothie was like drinking sunshine.

“My first impression is wow.”

My first impression is wow. The overall design is quite trendy & cozy. This place is unlike any Ramen restaurant I’ve visited. The beehive arrangement of some tables is unique. I’d give the food a two solid thumbs up. They did a great job in curating great taste. It’s not quite as specialized places one might find in Japan or trendy eateries stateside; I’d rate this a 4.5 out of 5. This place has assembly line precision as our food came out so quick…yet there was 0 fast food feel. They had a lot of cooks. To me it seems like this would make a great date place.

“Super cute restaurant.”

Super cute restaurant. Very thoughtful design with honeycomb seating and a very traditional Japanese ramen restaurant feel. My spouse and cousin had the traditional tonk with black garlic at $17 per bowl. Really reasonable pricing for food they absolutely demolished. This is an excellent restaurant should you not need any dietary accommodations. Some dietary restrictions will be harder to accommodate than others. Going without dairy is easy, doesn't look like anything with nuts is on the menu. Gluten-free is a challenge as there are no noodle options or soy sauce options that do no contain gluten and I would be leery of cross-contamination.

10/10! Not much ramen choices to pick from but the flavor was amazing! The chicken was good. You need to try their fried dumplings. Amazing. Their brown sugar milk tea is to die for. definitely will come back soon!

“Ever since I visited Nakamura Ramen in NYC, Ive been struggling to find a ramen as good as theirs.”

Ever since I visited Nakamura Ramen in NYC, Ive been struggling to find a ramen as good as theirs. Ive been all over the US to many ramen shops in Los Angeles, Chicago, and many other cities, searching for over 5 years to find a ramen ya that does it right. Kyuramen does it right. Strings and Ramen san dont compare.

Amazing place, workers are nice and friendly, location is hidden from the main tourist street and gives you a little break from the traffic. Food is great, I got the Omurice combo with Tonkatsu, it comes with a sauce of your choice as well as drink. A little pricey for me but I reaaaaally wanted to try this Japanese omelet! It tasted amazing, literally melted in my mouth. My only complaint is that rice that is underneath the omelet contains small pork or chicken pieces, I could quite understand. I wish it would be just the plain rice with no meat - but it’s only my personal taste, otherwise the texture and taste was great! Thai Iced Tee 10/10, Tonkatsu - 10/10! Def worth visiting! We visited on Thursday at 3pm and there were minimal amount of people. Food came within 5 minutes and we were seated in a nice place :)
