E Ramen

Lunchtime wasn't too busy for midweek. The food is always good. The portions are fair. Nice neighborhood place for ramen.

My friend and I came here for brunch. They open at 11am on a weekend and we were there right when they open. They have sushi on top of ramen which was a nice surprise! My friend and I ordered the special tonkatsu ramen. It was tasty. We started with edamame as appetizers which we felt it was just okay. Overall quick service, very casual atmosphere. Parking is easy for the area.

After hearing on a online magazine about E Ramen being on the top 10 ramens in Chicago we decided to try it. We live so close to it so why not. It's a very cozy place small but nice. I think it's family own. A very nice boy was our waiter today. He was very attentive and served us great. He even refilled our waters without us asking, very good costumer service. We ordered the original tonkotsu ramen, the shrimp fried rice and the tempura shrimp roll. Wow it was super delicious. Everything, was great that nothing tasted bad to me or my husband. I highly recommend recommend this place hands down. We will be back to try their other dishes and appetizers. You won't be disappointed!

One of my new favorite ramen spots in Chicago! Cute neighborhood spot, it seemed like there were a lot of people coming in for takeout. There was a large group eating also when my boyfriend and I walked in but the service was still quick and friendly. We started with the takoyaki which was delicious - freshly fried with a perfect ratio of octopus and doughy goodness. I got the classic tonkatsu and my boyfriend the spicy tonkatsu. The chashu was melt in your mouth delicious and the broth had a deep flavor that still didn't feel too heavy. My boyfriend apparently thought the spicy was not spicy enough (to be fair he has an insane spice tolerance) but the waiter was gracious enough to bring extra spicy sauce for him. Finished the whole bowl which was definitely too much food for one meal but it was hard to stop eating. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious ramen spot!

We finally stopped by E Ramen and we're so glad we did! We had the chicken karaage, spicy tonkatsu ramen and garlic lovers tonkatsu ramen. The chicken karaage was moist and slightly crispy. Both ramen dishes were delicious - rich, flavorful broth. The noodles, pork chasu, and egg were all cooked perfectly. The pork chasu was so tender. We liked the spicy tonkatsu better than the garlic lovers. The garlic lovers tonkatsu is suuuper garlicky. We got the mid-level heat - 'spicy' and it was a good balance of heat and flavor. My husband said it was the perfect amount of spice for him. I want to try to spicy umami miso ramen next time, probably just mild spicy for me though. I'm a wimp when it comes to spice.The restaurant itself doesn't have much of a vibe, but was clean, with a few small tables. They are also BYOB, which we plan to take advantage of in the future! E Ramen is now our go to spot for ramen in the area and we'll definitely be frequenting this restaurant throughout the winter!

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.

Super cute little ramen spot that takes their broth seriously. I really appreciate that they have chicken broth since veggie broth is the norm substitute for non-pork eaters. The chicken broth hit the spot as its more flavorful than the veggie broth I'm usually forced to order. The dining room is cute, clean and simple. I was in on a week night so even though it was one person manning the front for both pick up and dine-in customers, we didn't feel abandoned. I'd def go back when in the area.

Please please go to E Ramen if you're craving ramen, sushi or a number of other menu items!I'm a frequent visitor of Chicago. I'm so excited to have been introduced to E Ramen by a friend. This gem is situated near Armour Square and Bridgeport, kinda. The atmosphere is very chill. I imagine many people do carry out but there is also the option to dine in. Our server was quite friendly. He has the double role of running register and serving dine-in guests. That should tell you how small this place is. When asked what he recommends, the server literally said "EVERYTHING!!" I believed him too. I didn't think he was just saying that to get more business. We tried the Karaage Chicken, it was described to me as being similar to Korean friend chicken. Karaage literally is Japanese friend chicken. They are similar. I'd recommend it. I got the Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen. It was some of the best ramen I'd had in a while. I whole-heartedly recommend it. I got the Spicy Chicken Ramen to go and heard amazing things about it as well. In conclusion, if you want ramen in Chicago, go to E Ramen. The End.

Low-key restaurant with some of the most flavorful ramen I've had so far.I got the original tokotsu ramen and while everything in the bowl tasted good, the broth was really the standout. It really brought out the flavors of the pork and added a whole other layer of flavor to the dish. Went there on a Friday afternoon. We were the only ones there, so the atmosphere was really chill and were serviced really quickly. We had reservations, but didn't really end up having to need it.Street parking is pretty easy. We found it right in front of the restaurant. It's also BYOB. Very important to know.I can't wait to go back and try their sushi and other menu items.

My husband and I found this place because we were dropping off a rental car nearby. It was starting to get late and we just needed to eat something.The service was accommodating, but we were pleasantly surprised that the ramen was great. The tonkotsu was phenomenal & the pork was so tender. Support this mom & pop shop!
