The ramen was good. But don't bother with carry out. If I had to do it again, I'd have just stayed and enjoyed properly prepared Ramen at the restaurant.
Was quiet for a Saturday afternoon lunch. They have a lot of ramen options to choose from. Not my favorite ramen spot but it was tasty ramen and a decent size. Definitely enough for 2 meals if eating it for lunch and you are not starving. Not sure that adding an egg should cost an extra $3 but other than that reasonable prices. I didn't think the ramen was that spicy and wish they had more seaweed inside to build a traditional flavor. It was nice for a cold afternoon but I wanted a bit more flavors on the toppings. Maybe some jalapeños and mushrooms would have made it taste more social. I do also think they should have better chopsticks that aren't the wooden kind as it takes away from the ramen experience and I don't like the woody flavor of non plastic chopsticks. Service was good as they same to check in on us a few times if we needed anything additional etc... they have tables and booths and you can get seated pretty quickly as it was not too busy. Parking is also easy as it's inside a small shopping complex.
The style of ramen here is excellent. This Jiro-style ramen is a bit different than the ones you find at Mitsuwa or other Chicago Ramen locations. This ramen has thicker noodles and thicker broth. It is comforting, delicious, and very filling. When you come to this ramen location, be sure you are aware of this because if you are expecting the more familiar style ramen, you may be disappointed. But, if you are willing to try something a little different, I think you will really enjoy this place.
Went during Memorial Day at around 4:15pm and I was surprised at how busy it was. There's around 8 tables and every table was seated except one- it is quite a small restaurant. There was also only one server so the service was a little slow but understandable. I thought the ramen was a little pricey but it was good! I like how there's a book that helps you choose the ramen you want based on how thick you like your broth. I like a lighter brother so I opted for the chicken ramen and it was great! My mom got the spicy white miso ramen and said it was a little salty. The best dish was the chicken karaage!
Visited here a little pass 12am half packed with other hungry hungry ramen seekers! Vibe was a live! My first time trying the Jiro style ramen, it didn't disappoint, the broth a little more fatty and ramen a little more thick! Yummy. Always have to order a side of Kim Chi. Coming back to try those Japanese Hot Dogs!!!
Seriously some of the best ramen we've ever had! We decided to come to Chicago Ramen late one night because it's open until 2 am and did not regret it. The servers were extremely kind and helpful. They provided excellent recommendations and were very knowledgeable of the menu. The restaurant itself was very clean and well lit. We ordered the tonkotsu ramen with egg and red miso ramen with egg. Both bowls were equally delicious. The red miso ramen was definitely more rich, heavy, and fatty (in the best way possible.) The red miso ramen comes with thick noodles while the tonkotsu comes with thin noodles. The toppings are slightly different as well. Both broths are very flavorful and slightly salty. We also got the chicken karaage, which was excellent. This was a wonderful meal, and we will definitely be back!
Stopped by this spot on my short work trip to Chicago. I ordered the jiro ramen because it was a tontkotsu broth. I honestly wasn't sure what I was getting myself into as I've never had jiro ramen. The broth and noodles tasted like butter, it took me a while to figure out how to describe it. The noodles were different from what I expected and was thick and chewy. I was surprised that the thick pork was fairly tender. I loved the amount of veggies that came with the ramen. I forgot to add an egg, which would have enhanced this. Overall, a good bowl of ramen for the price. I had almost half a bowl leftover to take back. The inside was spacious. Parking lot with ample space. Service was good, I went around 3pm so it wasn't crowded.
