Some noted

I really love ramen wasabi and have raved about this place so much.
— Aaliyah Robertson

Food is mediocre but the pork in the ramen. Anyways, I don’t think it’s worth it.
— Ming Yan

Unfortunately, the visit was disappointing. The meat in the steamed buns and in the ramen was overly sweet.

“Happy that there's a more convenient location to me now.”

Happy that there's a more convenient location to me now! I think the serving portion is smaller than the Logan Square location but ramen is as good as ever. Our server was friendly and drinks were good. A nice restaurant for winter. Will come back for sure.

We stopped here for a quick lunch on our way through Chicago and could not be more pleased. A really tasty bowl of ramen and delicious pork belly bun. Would highly recommend!

“Probably my favorite ramen that I’ve had to date in Chicago.”

Probably my favorite ramen that I’ve had to date in Chicago! I ordered the spicy miso ramen, which had super tender meat and a broth that was just the right level of spice. Seating is pretty limited, but the wait wasn’t too bad at all. It has an intimate feel to the restaurant, and I feel like the servers were quite attentive, which was appreciated. Definitely worth checking out for a solid ramen joint in west loop!

“Wasabi Ramen totally won me over.”

Wasabi Ramen totally won me over. The gyozas were insanely good, super crispy on the outside and packed with flavor. Easily some of the best I’ve had. I also tried their margarita, and it was surprisingly delicious, with the perfect citrusy twist. I ordered the Spicy Roasted Garlic Miso and loved every bite. The broth was rich, the pork was tender and full of flavor, and the noodles were exactly how I like them. I added corn and butter, which made it even better for my taste. I also sampled the Original Tonkotsu, and it was just as amazing. One of the best parts? Their happy hour runs until 6:30, which is super convenient. We got to enjoy cocktails and appetizers at a great price, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I’ll definitely be coming back, it’s the kind of spot that stays on your favorites list.

“The ramen here was so good.”

The ramen here was so good! I got the vegan ramen (there was only one option for non meat eaters). I was a bit wary of the broth having seaweed because I don't usually like that taste, but it was delicious! The noodles that come with the vegan ramen are different than the regular ramen noodles (presumably no egg, but I didn't ask,) so if you want the regular noodles you can probably swap out. The vegan ones were great though. They randomly have happy hour on Sundays which we caught the tail end of and got to have a nice edamame before our dinner

This place was recommended to me by a friend/coworker. Really good ramen and the happy hour appetizers and beer was a really good deal. Will definitely go back.

“This place is excellent.”

This place is excellent. They’ve solved a problem that I never considered. Sometimes you don’t want your whole meal to be 1 big ramen, especially because ramen usually takes up exactly 100% of your stomach space. This place does a lunch special where you get a small ramen, and a noodle dish and a salad. Tasty, zesty, varied and delicious. Loved it.

“Great Ramen restaurant in the center of the Fulton district.”

Great Ramen restaurant in the center of the Fulton district. They DON'T take cash !!!! You probably want to call for reservations on weekend nights, as it is a cozy place. Green Tea - good, with a fresh taste. Pork Belly Buns - soft, pancake style bun, bent into a taco shape. It's way better than it sounds; don't skip it. Spicy Roasted Garlic Miso - super spicy, like the level of 'hot' dishes at a Thai restaurant! A big bowl of creamy soup, with pork, hard boiled egg, and bamboo shoots. Really good. Oddly, it loses all it's spiciness in the fridge over night. Recommended for those who like Really spicy soup. Tokyo Classic Shoyu - egg based noodles with chicken broth and pork chunks. Delicious, would order again. Safe choice if you don't know what to order for your first time. Restroom was clean, and service was great. Highly Recommended

Food: definitely a tier above the average ramen spots in Chicago, flavors were all really good and stood out for me Service: nice staff that accommodated a larger party with no reservation Ambiance: nice area, interior is a bit tiny so definitely recommend making reservations for larger parties

“In the previous location of Takeya Ramen which we also LOVED.”

In the previous location of Takeya Ramen which we also LOVED. Ramen Wasabi West Loop did not disappoint! My husband and I can’t get enough Karaage, Spicy garlic miso, and tonkatsu but we have never ordered a dish we didn’t like. They also have amazing cocktails. Really just 10/10 we have been 5-6 times in the few months they’ve been reopened and order takeout more times per month than I’d like to admit. Our favorite west loop ramen spot. They are first come first serve and wait times are always manageable with several nearby spots to grab a drink while you wait.
