The Tastiest Ramen in Chicago

Table To Stix Ramen

★★★★☆ 4 (332) • $$

"Hands down my favorite ramen place in the United States...and I've been all around the country! Quiet place in Evanston, about 20 miles north of downtown Chicago. We had our anniversary dinner at Table to Stix and we were treated like royalty. Our waiter was exceptional, the rest of the staff was too. Everything was delicious, everything. Rarely does a meal impress me anymore, but my spicy miso ramen was to die for. Thank you for making our anniversary dinner a memorable one, can't wait to return!"

Sushi Kushi Too

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (100)

"Sushi Kushi is great! Affordable prices, amazing ambiance, wonderful service, delicious food. Our server Julia was so attentive and made the whole dining experience very personable. My vegan brother and I dined here and they had plenty of options for us to try! We ordered the AAC maki, sweet potato makis, shiitake kushi, veggie egg rolls, yaki onigiri. Our total was only $30 for all of that food which is crazy, serious bang for your buck with this restaurant. Food reviews below! Shiitake Kushi 10/10 -- Grilled shiitake skewers with this delicious sauce on top. No idea what the sauce was, but it was seriously so good. At only $2 a skewer, you may as well order 10 of them. Similar restaurants sell these for $10+ and these taste the same if not better. Egg rolls 9/10 -- Great! Solid egg rolls. It was a little more pricey for the restaurant, $6 for 3.AAC maki 9/10 -- So fresh, sesame seeds and delicious high quality fillingsYaki onigiri 10/10 -- Amazing. Almost no restaurants have this on their menu. Grilled soy sauce rice ball, simple and delicious! They also offer other onigiris with seafood filling and plum for the vegan options. Definitely recommend.Sweet Potato Maki 8/10 -- Great!! I love the soft sweet potato. I wish there was more of a tempura crunch though... maybe if they changed it so the roll was i/o and had tempura flakes on the outside? I wouldn't mind a higher price if they made this change as well, I think it would taste way better! Great as is though. Overall highly recommend this restaurant. I have had nothing but amazing experiences with the staff, the hospitality, and the delicious food. Super affordable and worth trying if you're in the area!"

Tomo Japanese Street Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (86)

"Wanted to try this place and didnt really know what to expect. Didnt even k ow what was on the menu. Im glad we decided to because the food was great!Its a small cozy place. Street parking available. And service was great! We were so hungry we ordered ao mich atuff they had to connect 2 tables to fit the food lol.Takoyaki was good. The chicken karaage looked a bit burnt on the outside but the inside was still tender. The squid karaage was cooked and seasoned perfectly. We also had the shrimp robata which had 3 gigantic shrimp per skewer and the sauce had a bit of a kick in it. We also ordered the Ebi Tempura Don which honestly wasnt what I was expecting. I was expecting the classic tempura shrimp but it wasnt. It didnt taste bad tho.The Hibachi Steak Bowl however was my favorite and i would definitely come back for this!!! Check this place out if you havent!!! Happy Eating!!!"

Menya Goku By Ramen Wasabi

★★★★★ 4.6 (119) • $$

"Menya goku is a place you'd find only if you were looking for it or passing by randomly and peering in. There's no store signage or advertisement. It's a small space with limited seating for groups. It's really perfect to go with a date or groups up to 4 people. I was surprised it was on the empty side when we got there around 7pm on sat. If by chance there is a wait, there is a waitlist at the front. All the ramen options are delicious. You can't go wrong with any of them. I find that the goku tan tan men is the spiciest. The other spicy ramen on the menu are more manageable. We also had the snow maiden sake which was on the sweeter side.It's a quiet, intimate ramen place. Highly recommend for the ramen lover. Make sure to check the double check the hours before heading over. I've found that the hours to be flexible and been burned a few times during the weekday."

Rudy’s Ramen

★★★★★ 4.9 (99) • $$

"Yep, easily 5 star ramen. The place is really cute and I enjoyed sitting at the counter watching the cook work. The counter was also a great place for Rudy to introduce himself. What a sweetheart! The man can cook, too.The takoyaki was crispy and creamy, hot and cool, and a completely unnecessary starter because I should have saved room for ramen. The tantanmen was so perfectly umami and a bit spicy. The bok choy was charred and seasoned with something I couldn't place, but it was awesome. I would order this again and again if I lived nearby.This is a total winner and worth the parking trouble."

Poke Burrito - Park Ridge

★★★★☆ 4.4 (75) • $$

"This outfit does poke burritos, poke bowls, sushi, and some other entrees. I haven't tried the burritos, but the make-your-own bowls are fresh-tasting, delicious, and so satisfying. I appreciate the customization.Their sushi rolls are really good; they are the pricier of my two local favorites, but sometimes it's worth a splurge for a tasty lunch."

Hands On - Irving Park Rd.

★★★★☆ 4 (349) • $$

"4.5 starts for food. Hit or miss on service My son, a friend, and I had Christmas eve's dinner and .... Wait... wait... it was Hands down one of the beast sushi I have had since we moved from Adam Francisco. I liked it so much I went back with my husband today - taking advantage that we came from the burbs to water my son's plants just 5 minutes from the restaurant. On Christmas Eve the service was great, today was so so. The food fantastic both times. Fresh, crunchy on the right rolls, very tasty. We had several rolls: broccoli tempura, spicy tuna, Una Q Maki, dragon, volcano and a bowl. All excellent Don't forget BYOB."

Enso Sushi & Bar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (478) • $$

"Certainly there's a lot of sushi places around here. Enso is another, and it's among the good ones. It's surprisingly affordable, maybe because it's not that large of portions. About the only complaint is it's not exactly that much food. The sushi is fresh though. After looking around for a place to get sushi, we chose to come here. It's conveniently close to the Damen Blue Line. This place has a cool vibe. Kind of quiet. The prices aren't that bad, especially for around here where it's hipster stuff. It's about $6 for a basic roll. We got a few of these. Best one was the Avocado Roll. It was good in spite of being simple. An example of how good food doesn't need to be elaborate. The rolls were as fresh as food gets. For sure it's pretty easy to find sushi around here but it's harder to find it fresh and cheap. It's possible to get both here. There's also more on the menu such as gyoza, ramen, and other good Asian stuff."

Kameya Belmont Ramen & Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.3 (158) • $$

"I came here for lunch on a Friday afternoon, since that's the only day during the week that they're open for lunch. This place is small and cozy and only had one table being occupied when I arrived. I was able to get seated right away, and also quickly put my order in. The workers here really very friendly and welcoming. I ordered their Pork Belly Ramen, it came out fast and very delicious. I will say that it was just a tad bit on the pricey side by a couple of dollars, but deliciousness made up for it. I guess I'd rather pay a few dollars more to get this than a few dollars less to get mediocre food. The pork belly is probably one of the best pork belly I've ever had. It was very tender, and flavorful. The broth also had a lot of flavor. The broth was thick but just wish I would have gotten some more noodles. I also ordered some fried gyoza to go and they were also pretty good. It is without a doubt of my favorite ramen spots in the city and wouldn't hesitate returning."

Monster Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (117)

"Came here for some Ramen, but I honestly didn't expect that huge of a wait time. We were told an hour wait for two people, and we were planning on doing some breweries after our dinner here, but ended up doing those in the hour we had to wait. So at the end of the day, no time lost but damn... an hour? Not sure if it's exactly worth the wait, the place is tiny and most of the people waiting for the table crowd the entrance up so it makes it difficult to get in and out of this place. Once seated, the customer service was friendly, but I felt the ramen took a little longer than usual to come out. The place is small, so there's not a huge amount of tables to have to be served, so I didn't quite get the lengthy wait time. We did start out with an order of their Yaki Beef Gyoza. You get 5 pieces and they were pretty tasty. They did disappear fast though. My wife ordered their House Shoyu and I ordered their Shio House. Both were pretty tasty and overall very filling. The shio was saltier but more flavorful. Unlike other Ramen places, Monster Ramen appears to only offer beef as their protein. So all their offerings are definitely on the higher side. You'll definitely be paying a premium here. They don't offer pork or chicken, which usually tends to be on the cheaper side. Overall I really enjoyed my meal. Yes, it's expensive. Yes, they have a long wait time, but they do serve some damn good tasting ramen. I can definitely see myself returning here often."

Kyuramen - Downtown Chicago

★★★★☆ 4.2 (438) • $$

"TLDR; - honeycomb seating is 1st come, 1st serve- weekends can get crazy busy so line up early --------4.5 stars rounding up~Shoutout to Pam for accommodating Bonnie C. and I with the honeycomb seating! Thank you Brent too for being so awesome!(Thanks!) Bonnie C. found this place on social media and ooof, on a Saturday later evening (8pm-ish and later) it was packedddWe were seeking for the honeycomb seating since we hadn't found anything like it in SF and Pam (staff member) mentioned to us that it's typically 1st come 1st serve but was really sweet in making it happen for us!Menu offers ramen on one side and on the other side, a variety of milk teas , appetizers and desserts. They even offer ramen combo options too!I took advantage of their ramen bowl combo~ Tonkatsu Curry Ramen, Pork Bao and Thai Tea, everything was delicious and I left with a filled and happy tummy! Only thing to mention is the Tonkatsu was OK, the breading was eh since it wasn't a lot of flavor and the chicken itself was pretty standard. Pork Bao was a tasty little snack and the Thai Tea definitely hit the spot after a long day.Would recommend to check out if you're wanting ramen, but don't forget to line up early for dinner!**note; since we waited for the honeycomb seating, that added more waiting to being seated (I'd say at least 20, if not 30mins more)"

Strings Ramen Shop

★★★★☆ 3.8 (1096) • $$

"This was my first time eating at Strings. The ramen was delicious but if you want to be full, you'll need to order either an appetizer or another bowl of ramen. One ramen bowl doesn't really fill up an adult male. Prices were standard and fair. Service was okay. I like that they're open late on the weekends but if you want good quality food that fills you up, look elsewhere. This is a 3 for me. Food was decent but not memorable. There are many other choices in Chinatown."

Chicago Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (449) • $$

"Came in on a Sunday at noon to celebrate my brother in laws birthday. No wait and we were seated immediately. Located in a strip mall that's very unassuming with a pretty huge parking lot. From all the polar opposite reviews we really didn't know what to expect. Many complaints of weird or bad service but that was not the case on our end. To start, there's maybe 20 seats available at the restaurant and many of them you sit in front of the chef preparing the food. My husband and I ordered the red miso with egg which was INCREDIBLE! First time having red miso and it had wonderful flavoring, heavier than the white miso but absolutely incredible. The table also ordered white miso with vegetables, curry ramen, and the hotdogs. Everyone loved their food. I actually think this place has better ramen than a lot of places in Chicago. We had good service and everyone was very friendly. We will definitely be making the trip back. The only improvement I would request is for this place to upgrade the bathroom. Very poor lighting, strange latch that kinda works, boxes unpacked on the floor, toilet paper holder not properly installed, it looks like a college kid set up this bathroom. It was alarming compared to the rest of the restaurant."

Ramen San

★★★★☆ 4.2 (95) • $$

"Highly recommend their karage chicken. It was huge and crispy and perfectly seasoned. Visit them during the lucky hour 3-6pm on a weekday to enjoy the karage for $6! They also have limited edition ramen, and it was the smoked brisket ramen, which made me make a trip there. The smoked brisket was smoky and tender. However, the broth could be better as it's a bit too salty with strong soy sauce taste."

Kimberli Sushi Bar & Thai Cuisine

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (194) • $$

"Finally stopped in to pick up some dinner. I've been wanting to try this place for a while. Tried to place an order for pickup via one of the apps but it said they weren't taking orders anymore - a fluke but I just went in and placed an order in person. They're a late night spot in that they stay open quite late for those midnight sushi cravings. I ordered gyoza (it's chicken), a sweet potato roll, and an avocado roll. Total was just under $22 before tip. Once I got this home and was able to enjoy, I can now confirm is a solid choice! Everything was as expected and tastes great!You can dine in but there are only 3 tables / spots to do so, so I think the majority of people get their food to go or delivered. There is free parking in the lot if that's valuable knowledge to you. They offer a punch card for frequent diners which is nice. The staff members were friendly and the food took about 15 minutes maybe for preparation which was expected. I'll be back!"

Ramen-San

★★★★☆ 4 (547) • $$

"My first visit to Ramen San was pleasant. Their spacious seating area easily accommodated our large party, and we appreciated the variety of seating options. We indulged in a selection of drinks, including the Penicillin, Asahi, and Yuzu Sake Bomb, all of which impressed us.As for the food, everything we ordered, from the Japanese eggplant fries to the crispy tofu bun, maki express set, and Kimchi & fried chicken bowl--was delicious. A standout was the generous portion of the kimchi and fried chicken bowl, which we asked to be split into halves, and the server happily obliged. We also ordered karaage nuggets and chicken gyoza, both were equally good. For dessert, the Thai tea creme brulee and donuts were yummy, with the creme brulee being a definite recommendation.Overall, the experience was fantastic, with prompt service and a pleasant ambience adding to the enjoyment."

Ton-Ichi Ramen

★★★★☆ 3.6 (27)

Sushi Kushi San3

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (293) • $$

"Further down Rt 60 (Townline Road), past the mall is Sushi Kushi San3, which is the third Sushi Kushi (1 in Highland Park, Too in Lake Forest). I am assuming if you like either of those (I do, I do), then you will probably like this one also.We came on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The restaurant was fairly empty, we were seated in the window alcove at a large table. The lunch special is still in effect on weekends so I ordered the katsu curry lunch which comes with a standard green salad with ginger dressing. The katsu looked to be a portion for three--crisply fried, sliced tender pork katsu bathed in a slightly spicy brown curry sauce with rice, and a dollop of pickled red ginger. It was cooked perfectly, the sauce was delicious--this was perfect for a chilly fall afternoon. My companions went with ramen--ginormous bowls with molten hot broth, thinly sliced char siu and ramen and vegs. This was super filling and tasty and they could not even finish half of it, the rest taken to go. I also had some saba nigiri -- the Saba was perfect--oily, bathed in a light vinegar, tender -- although the rice fell apart.We really enjoyed our meal -- service was timed perfectly -- server was cordial and efficient. Lunch seemed a perfect time to experience a leisurely meal."

Nomu Ramen And Izakaya

★★★★★ 4.8 (59)

"We walked right in, after our favorite place next door had a line. They sat us right away and it became clear shortly that they were a little short staffed: we weren't in a rush so no sweat , but they insisted on covering our appetizer as a way to make it up to us, even though we were totally fine! The food took a little bit but it was delicious, and they happily accommodated my noodle switch request. They redid the decor as well and it's a full bar if you're interested! Highly recommend, we will be back!"

YATAI Asian Street Food

★★★★☆ 4.2 (138)

"Best place to get sushi in Edgewater. It's a pretty unassuming place that doesn't look like much. YATAI is actually a hidden gem though. Has a big menu of rolls and other Asian favorites. The prices aren't bad for how much you get and there's a variety of basic and more upscale. After looking for a few sushi places, we came here. It's a pretty low key classy type of place. This looks pretty not fancy from the outside, but it's better than it looks, and that goes for the food as well. It's about $5 for the cheapest rolls. We got the Shiitake Roll, which of course had mushrooms, and this one was good for being simple. It's about $7 for the more expensive rolls. We got the Vegan Mexican Roll, which was more complicated yet so much better though. It was a kind of Asian and Mexican fusion. This was made with avocados, cilantro, cucumbers, jalapeños, and lime, with a spicy sauce. It was spicy for sure, lots of flavor. This was well executed fusion of different cuisines that have more similarities than you may think. For sure could come here again. It has lots of rolls to choose from. There's lots of choices for vegans and vegetarians."

E Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (78)

"I gotta say, this is my first time trying Ramen. It was not busy at all when we arrive with just one other part dining in. They guy that took our order was very welcoming and friendly. Got us going right away. We started off with an order of their Pork Gyoza. These very tasty and juicy. It's hard to get these wrong, and E ramen did not fail. My wife ordered their Spicy Unami Miso. It came with ground pork, bean sprouts, green onion, bok choy, chili oil and shredded pepper all in a very delicious tasting rich pork broth. This ramen was so flavorful, I regret not ordering this for my self. I went with their Spicy Chicken Ramen and asked for it to be very spicy. This one as served with thin noodles, chicken chashu, bok choy, green onion and a seasoned egg. This one had some heat to it, but was more bland tasting compared to the spicy unami that my wife ordered. While I still enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall a great first experience with Ramen and wouldn't hesitate returning here if I'm in the area."

Hokkaido Ramen House

★★★★★ 4.6 (117) • $$

"This was good ramen for the burbs. It was a bit of a drive to the Hoffman Estates location. However, we were able to get seated with no wait. If you check in via Yelp, you can get a free appetizer of crab rangoon. We also ordered chicken karaage, tonkotsu shoyu ramen, and black garlic tonkotsu ramen. Food came out surprisingly fast. The staff was good at taking away the empty plates and bowls. Chicken karaage was good. Chicken was juicy, crispy, and cut in good size bite pieces. Crab rangoon was okay, I mostly tasted the cream cheese, I felt like there wasn't much imitation crab meat in there. Tonkotsu shoyu ramen was delicious. I enjoyed sipping the rich, flavorful pork broth. Pork meat was nice and tender. It broke apart easily. Noodles were chewy and good. It's a tasty ramen for the cold weather. Black garlic tonkotsu ramen, I liked the broth more than the shoyu. I found it addictingly savory and had a longer lasting impression on me. Prices were reasonable. Sufficient parking."

Wabi Sabi

★★★★☆ 4.2 (296) • $$

"Best ramen in the city! Bar none. Service was attentive and friendly. The place is small but clean and tidy; usually best for to-go orders but I enjoy eating their ramen on site. You really don't know how good something is until you've had other experiences. I first tried their ramen 3 years ago and found it okay. After eating ramen at a few other establishments and coming back to this one-their broth is the best !Their spicy garlic ramen hit the spot. Perfectly spicy! They don't shiest on their broth amount or noodle amount either. It's as close to authentic as you can possibly get ! They were also very generous in their tapioca serving when asked for extra. Their sushi is also bangin' too!Top notch!"

Ramen Time

★★★★★ 4.5 (199) • $$

"Came in to check out the place and to look at the menu. Jimmy (who I read about on here) was at the front and greeted me. I wasn't sure what to get and he provided me with lots of suggestions. I can never decide what to eat and was bouncing between thai or ramen. As I was waffling, Jimmy was saying farewell to what are likely loyal customers and it's clear he's a neighborhood fave! (I was honestly stunned by how many people he was genuinely talking to!)Jimmy could tell I was struggling and asked me if I wanted to sample the ramen. Whaaa...?! Hell yeah! I took him up on the offer and he brought out this goodness in a bowl. (See photo. This is a full on mini serving in my book...not a sample!) I was sold and now I'm waiting for my full order of this ramen with char siu to go back to my hotel and enjoy it!Btw, they trained on making the ramen at a ramen institute in Torrance, CA. That happens to be a few cities from where I live and I know there's a lot of good Japanese food in the area (after all, Toyota used to be HQ'd there and Honda is still there.) I'm glad I stopped in to meet Jimmy, his wife and the kind staff. If you're a local, you likely know the place. If you're visiting (like me), stop in. Jimmy will make you feel at home!"

Torino Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.2 (271) • $$

"I've heard great things and finally made it! The food was great. The ramen was delicious and the perfect sized bowl. The fire dragon roll was really hot so I'm glad I like spicy! Everything tasted super fresh. The agedashi tofu could have been a little warmer. We sat on the side with the bar which was fine, next time I'd like to sit on the other side. It's family friendly and a fun date night without being too stuffy. The bathroom was very clean which I think is notable! Will definitely be back for another date night soon."

Kameya Sushi

★★★★☆ 4.4 (354) • $$

"Really great bowl of ramen with satisfying rich broth and super soft slices of bbq pork belly. I got the signature Kameya ramen, which was honestly amazing and now ranks in my top favorite 3 ramens near the city of Chicago. All of the components of the ramen were perfectly made including the pork, the broth, the soft boiled egg, and the noodles. Would definitely come back again if I am in the mood for ramen!"

Tamashii Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (73) • $$

"What a great little gem! It's really more of a takeout spot, so there was plenty of open tables on a Saturday night. Everything we ate was delicious! My black garlic ramen was super tasty and the karaage appetizer was so super tasty.It's just a little hole in the wall spot, but we will definitely be back!"

Oiistar

★★★★☆ 4.2 (1165) • $$

"I came here for dinner and the food was amazing! I had the chicken ramen and shrimp bao buns! Both items were a 10/10 I was extremely blown away how tasty the food was and I have tried many ramen places but this was by far one of the best. The waiter was extremely attentive and helpful with navigating us through the menu and what he would recommend and why based on what we had a taste for that night specifically. The ambiance is for a mature adult vibe not for young children, they also have a drink menu as well if you're looking for a tasty cocktail or beer my go to is the Sapporo beer."

Sushi Plus Rotary Sushi Bar - Boystown

★★★★☆ 4.4 (593) • $$

"Okay so I've been here twice since my last review because this is starting to become a staple for me.My favs:The Tokyo sandwich (I think): so this is one of my fav things on the menu. It's mango, salmon and other stuff on a two slabs of rice. There's two sandwiches offered and I think this is the right one. The garlic yellow tail nigiri: 2 pieces of yellow tail seared and has garlic. THEY ARE SO GOOD.Creme brulee: what??? You must be joking. But I'm not. Their creme brulee is $6 and pretty solid portion. Honestly I'm such a creme brulee fiend that I may come back just for the creme brulee. This is not gonna be life changing but it surprisingly solid, and a reasonable price, and a decent size.Everything else I've had I loved. I just really like this place. I usually spend between $30-40 but leave fully full which is nice. I also think I may prefer it to all you can eat because there isn't a pressure to finish everything. You can just take it home."

Friends Ramen

★★★★☆ 4 (433) • $$

"Great little place! Little being the key word. Dont go in a group. 2 people per bench is comfy but then 4 would be a lot. Small spicy miso ramen - I like spice and this was spicy! Wowee. It was spicy with a ton of chili oil. Otherwise it was great. The small is just a normal bowl, it's small. Dont expect it to be a full meal and it's full of noodles with little broth. It barely tasted like miso at all, it was fairly bland and mostly just spicy. Not salty which is great! Noodles are a little thicker here. Spicy miso veggie soup - very good! More flavorful than the spicy miso and still not salty which is awesome. Lots of noodles. Noodles are a little thicker here. Spicy edamame- very good Tempura shrimp - good California roll - very food Staff super nice and attentive Price is a little expensive"

Zen Ramen & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (73) • $$

"I was excited to have a new Ramen place close by. It is nice insideand it is in a nondescript strip mall. We sat at the counter and therewere maybe 2 other people on a Thursday night. The Server was verynice and friendly and seemed to know the menu very well, we askedquestions and she knew all the answers. We started with some excellentChicken Kara-age, well breaded, not greasy, crunchy, Hot! and good.The Gyoza was almost like deep fried, but it also was very good with aperfect black Vinegar sauce. The Appetizers were both good so I hadhigh hopes. When our Ramen came it looked good. The first big shockerwas the temperature, it was kinda lukewarm at best, and the noodleswere not toothy or elastic; they were like egg noodles that sat inliquid for too long, no real texture. I wasn't crazy about the blackgarlic taste, it had a bit of an odd flavor, I finished it, it wasn'tbad, just I would not get it again. The Spicy Ramen had some real heatagain, not a lot of complexity but it was fine, the broth reminded meof instant spicy ramen. I don't think I would go back for Ramen, theother food we had was very good, I would like to go back and try someof the other things they have"

KOHOKU-KU RAMEN CHICAGO

★★★★☆ 3.9 (36)

"You can get a good bowl ramen in many places in Chicago, but it's hard to find a ramen shop that is more fun than Kohoku-Ku Ramen Chicago. The thing that immediately struck me is the how different the interior of this ramen shop was from others I've been to in Chicago or all over the world. Walking in here felt like stepping into 1960s Showa Era Japan. They have a lot of retro decorations like signs and posters, a wall of sake barrels and even dagashi hanging from one of the walls. It's a small restaurant, with not to many seats, but they definitely have made the interior fun.Also, the food was excellent. I ordered Gyoza, the Kohoku-Ku ramen, their house made pandan leaf custard taiyaki and a melon cream soda. The Kohoku-Ku ramen was delicious. One word of warning, it's spicy. If you don't like spicy ramen, then this is not for you. It's a bit expensive, $25.00, but worth it. You get a ton of tempura seafood, including soft shell crab and shrimp. You get a big bowl worth a lot good making it a decent value, despite the high price. I also enjoyed the pandan leaf custard taiyaki. All of their taiyaki is made in house, so it came out piping hot a fresh. It also had a very good pandan taste.The service was amazing too. My food came out super fast and hot. Also, the staff were was friendly and responsive.I also like that it's right off the redline, the 36 bus and there is plenty of parking in the neighborhood. So, getting to and from there isn't an issue.In sum, this is must visit ramen shop in Chicgao."

Furious Spoon - Logan Square

★★★★☆ 3.9 (931) • $$

"I've come to Furious Spoon multiple times over the years, and I think that they started out good, and have only gotten better as time has passed. I'm a big fan of their Furious Ramen bowl, but with a little extra spice added. I wrestle with myself when I order this because the noodles that come with it are thin, and perfect but I also love the little extra spice that comes along with the chili noodle substitution. I have had their karaage before, but now they have added sauced options. We had the Smokeshow, and it is indeed a little show coming in a glass dome filled with cherry smoke. The sauce on these is a ginger sesame sauce, and it is sooooooo good! The only gripe I have with Furious Spoon is that they took away my favorite Ramen, and I'm impatiently waiting for them to bring it back, even if it's only for a limited time..... The Holy Cow! The spice on that bowl was phenomenal with ground beef and green beans. The drinks are also super good. I had a Dreamsicko Mode, and it was very tasty, and stronger than it tasted. I seem to find street parking on Fullerton with very little hassle. Cash and card are accepted. The staff are super friendly, and knowledgeable. When I was on the fence about the Karaage, our server brought us some of the sauce to taste to seal the deal."

Kimura Sushi

★★★★☆ 3.7 (133) • $$

"The service was great. The sushi fresh and tasty. I had the crunch roll (tempura with cream cheese, avocado, salmon I believe, and I added soy paper.) Green tea. And the gyoza. All very good. Will be back. Parking kinda sucks."

US Ramen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (14)

"After a couple weeks this place is serving very good ramen. Kimchi ramen is my favorite. My kid loves the robot"
