Affordable, delicious, chill vibe, quick service, and satisfying Ramen. Came here with the fam and we will be back. You can build your own Ramen bowl or go with their regular offerings. The broth was soothing, you can pick your spice level and we were in and out in less than an hour.

Such a great experience, the staff is super kind, they had a high volume of orders but checked in a lot throughout. They really care about getting you a delicious meal. 10/10 for the steak yakisoba!

“Incredible little ramen spot in Greek town.”

Incredible little ramen spot in Greek town. Been here a few times and have always enjoyed the food. Service is prompt, food comes out quick, and always full of flavor!

“I just got back from Japan and was craving the meal I ate the most while there: ramen.”

I just got back from Japan and was craving the meal I ate the most while there: ramen! This place hit the spot. I had the shoyu ramen, as is, and it was delicious! The meat was tender, the broth perfectly seasoned, and the noodles had the perfect texture. The server was attentive without being overbearing. I came here by myself, during lunch, right after they opened and I was the only person there. They did have a steady stream of takeout orders and 1 more person came in while I was there. I didn’t have any alcohol but I did see they have some selections including beer, whiskey and sake. The atmosphere was calm with music playing softly, not sure what the atmosphere is later on in the day or if there is a wait. I will be back with my husband!

“Recently me and my girlfriend came here for an impromptu Sunday funday ramen date.”

Recently me and my girlfriend came here for an impromptu Sunday funday ramen date. We googled a few spots near the west loop and noticed that this place had reasonable prices and fair reviews. When we arrived it wasn’t busy at all so we got our food pretty fast. Both of our ramen bowls were well portioned and delicious, as well as the spicy karaage chicken. I could definitely see myself coming back again.

“Yo, Tamashii Ramen hits so hard.”

Yo, Tamashii Ramen hits so hard. Came through on a cold night and it was exactly what I needed—super cozy vibe, chill staff, and the food? Fire. I got the spicy tonkotsu with extra egg and pork belly, and my friend did the miso ramen with some karaage on the side. Both bowls were loaded and flavorful—broth was rich but not greasy, noodles had that perfect chew. We spent around $45 total for two people, and honestly it felt worth every penny. This spot’s a sleeper hit in the Loop—don’t sleep on it.

“This was the best budget friendly place I’ve been to in a while.”

This was the best budget friendly place I’ve been to in a while. I got the Shoyu Ramen and the Spicy Karaage Don, and both were amazing!! I highly recommend. I went on a Wednesday night and practically had the entire restaurant to myself. It’s a cute little restaurant with some nice lamp like lights. Definitely worth your money to go here. You won’t be dissapointed!

“The food was very good.”

The food was very good. This is my 2nd time back, and the consistency is solid. I recommend bumping your heat level to a 3 if you like spicy food.

“Food was awesome.”

Food was awesome. The kids and I had ramen, and my wife had a rice bowl. Both were cooked to perfection. The food came out extremely quick and was hot! Prices were very reasonable. Especially when you compare it to ramen shops around the area. Wasn't crowded either. Will return again!

“I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen.”

I ordered Tonkotsu Ramen. It tasted good, but the soup was a little oily. The prime tenderloin steak was yummy and very tender. I loved it.

“I would have to say that this ramen shop is one of my top 5 places to get ramen.”

I would have to say that this ramen shop is one of my top 5 places to get ramen. This is probably the only ramen shop in Chicago that allows you to "Build your own" ramen, which I like. This ramen shop also serves Tan Tan ramen, so if you're craving that, you'll certainly find it here. The ramen tasted amazingly good, but I would have to say that the portion size is a little bit less compared to other ramen shops like Kinton Ramen, Uma Ramen, Furious Spoon, etc. The gyoza tasted good as well. The service is good and quick. This ramen shop is a great place to satisfy any ramen cravings or to grab lunch during your day.

“Amazing food, huge portions and amazing taste that justify price.”

Amazing food, huge portions and amazing taste that justify price. This like two meals in one with these huge bowls. Dishes are super customizable and can by hyper specific to your tastes. No way to do wrong when ordering here, all broth and toppings are amazing. Nice atmosphere. Lovely for lunch between classes or with a friend!
