“This place has become one of our favorite places to treat ourselves. This time we branched out from our usual ramen choices. I got a bbq pork and an ube steamed bun. My husband got the pork cutlet curry. It was all delicious. The vibes are always friendly. Almost like you’re at a friend’s house for dinner”
“Literally the most delicious Ramen place in Chicago. Great service, great food. Definitely check them out.”
“Amazing food! Crag rangoon is the best in towm! I love Ramen I give it 100/10! Love the place!”
“my experience with ramen in chicago is that it tastes very similar which led me to only eat ramen a couple times a year. Mura mura changed that for good. this is hands down the freshest, cleanest and most flavorful ramen i’ve experienced so far in living here almost a decade. it is SO GOOD. i ordered delivery the first time but tonight i had to check it out in person. the restaurant is SO CUTE. it has hand painted art on the wall, a LIBRARY/book collection to read for guests. dozens of plants making the air fresh, condiments in lil jars at each table and a fish tank with dozens of fish ! i love it here, you gotta go. it’s great for takeout and perfect for a date night with family or friends. the space is friendly m, airy, and intimate. he staff is super attentive and kind . 10/10 r u crazy .”
“Mura Mura nails it on every aspect of the experience. The service was excellent, we drove over an hour to try this restaurant and we were not disappointed. The Thai tea, the bbq buns, and the spicy tonkatsu ramen was amazing every bite is filled with delicious flavor. Thank you for the great service”
“I feel that it would be good if it were not overcooked. The broth is spicy and tasty, but everything in it is chewy and overcooked. The noodles are chewy and overcooked. The « soft-boiled » eggs are hard-boiled and overcooked. It just doesn’t taste fresh.”
“Many options to choose from. Staff made helpful suggestions and described different items well. The inside eating area is small, but has very nice ambience and is clean.”
“Mura Mura Ramen is an outstanding neighborhood spot that consistently delivers deeply flavorful, authentic, and high-quality ramen that truly hits the spot. The broth is rich and complex, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the overall quality of the ingredients is evident in every single bowl. I place an incredibly high premium on kitchen cleanliness and dining area maintenance, and I am consistently impressed by how tidy, well-organized, and professionally kept this space is—it is clear they take great pride in maintaining a pristine, sanitary, and well-managed environment for their guests. The staff is consistently friendly, efficient, and does a wonderful job of ensuring that service is prompt and attentive, even when things get busy. If you are looking for a reliable, top-tier dining experience that prioritizes both bold, comforting flavors and professional cleanliness, I cannot recommend Mura Mura Ramen highly enough”
“This place is very tasty and delicious but if you are vegetarian, make sure you read the menu carefully. Some items say vegetarian but have elements that are not. Food is delicious though and definitely recommend!”
