Hokkaido Ramen House

I am really picky with my ramen and this place hit good points for the flavor. Ambiance lacks a certain amount of coziness and is pretty dim on the inside with mostly black interior design. However theres plenty of divided seating options to seat 4 or more.Waiters are friendly, food was fast to come out. Food:4/5 Japanese Fried Tofu: semi firm crunchy tofu topped with lots of eel sauce and nori toppings. Came piping hot and super fresh. It tastes good but wouldn't exactly blow my mind.5/5 Black Garlic Tonkatsu Ramen: Pleasantly surprised by the deep flavor in the broth. Lots of ramen places usually have diluted flavors but this was rich and creamy. Ramen egg was good, a tad hint of sweetness in the marination. Chashu has the taste and texture like a combination of glazed bacon. Theyre thinly sliced and deeply marinated and packed with flavor. Overall totally recommend the ramen here, I got to try my partners ramen, he ordered a #2 and was equally delicious with a unique deep broth base.

this place was absolutely terrible, i am shocked at the current reviews?? my chicken ramen was cold, the egg was old and the chicken tasted frozen!!' the broth had no flavor. i had ordered crab ragoons and they were ok. I told the server i had a coupon and she decided to put another order in for me? then when i went to pay, they charged me for 2 orders of crab ragoons and the manager had to reimburse me in cash even though i paid card. terrible terrible terrible. I would never come back. Driving to chicago and sitting in an hour traffic is worth it if it means getting better than this.

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.

The Hokkaido Ramen House is in a small strip mall, parking is easy. The restaurant was quiet but it was the middle of the afternoon. The boba Galaxy Tea got a big thunbs up from my tween who had recently become pretty opinionated about her drinks. The appetizers we ordered came out quickly. The volcanic tamago, i guess I didn't know what to expect it was like a hard boiled egg with crispness and flavor. The octopus also was pretty good as well. The pork cutlet Tonkotsu was juicy, the ramen noodles were good. The pork in the black garlic ramen was more like bacon, so it wasn't what I expected. I wasn't a fan of it and have it to my husband. However he liked it a lot. We were in and out quickly, so taking into account the family opinions in my review pretty good overall!

This is a hole in the wall. I went here for lunch from work recently. It wasn't busy at all so I thought I might be making a mistake. Anyways I was seated right away and was able to place my order right away. I ended up ordering the vegetable ramen bowl with chili oil on the side. It was soooooo good!! Chili oil wasn't added flavor and wasn't too spicy. The service was good and quick. They also have happy hour for bubble teas. Definitely coming back for 1/2 priced bubble teas and more Ramen!

Open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! 11am until 9pm We had a craving for Ramen. It is 2pm so we are having a late lunch. We received a free Crab Rangoon appetizer Yelp coupon the last time we dined here. We redeemed it today. The outside of the Crab Rangoon is perfectly fried... flaky and crispy and the middle was so creamy and pleasantly warm! It was the perfect flavor and texture! Definitely the best Crab Rangoon we have had in a very long time! My husband ordered the Miso Ramen the broth looks nice and creamy and the pork on top looks like bacon! So so yummy! I ordered the Shoyu Ramen it has a clear soy sauce type of broth. The flavor is outstanding! The restaurant is very clean and there is music playing lightly in the background. The window shades were closed but there was still plenty of light shining in without blinding us which we loved. Our waiter was so nice and polite, we drank water and he kept checking in on us and refilled my husbands water at least twice. Which made my husband so happy. If you like Ramen and have not tried dining here yet, I recommend giving it a try! They have lots of other delicious looking items on the menu too! I love that there are pictures of the food on the menu!

Hokkaido Ramen House is located right off of Barrington Road, in a small strip mall area, next to the Toothery, with plenty of parking. Inside is a small-medium size dining area.We ordered:- Crab Rangoon -- order came with 5. Creamy cream cheese, with small bits of imitation crab... it's what you normally expect from crab Rangoons. The crunch of it was good.- Takoyaki Octopus appetizer -- octopus dumplings... these were OK.- Calamari -- pretty good. Nice crunch, nice proportion of rings vs tentacles- Garlic tonkatsu ramen -- which was fantastic! It had a rich creamy pork bone broth, semi hard-boiled egg, and two generous-sized slabs of delicious pork belly. Our server was really nice... he is actually the son of the owner. Talkative, friendly, and our food came in a timely manner.BATHROOM REVIEW: Located near the back, the bathroom was decent. Sink and everything was in working order. Sit or squat? Squat.

I enjoyed the spicy ramen, appreciating the option to adjust the heat with the chili paste on the side. The fried calamari with lime sauce was a hit, and checking in on Yelp got us a free order of delicious crab rangoon. The service was friendly and efficient, with our food arriving quickly. I would definitely return if I'm in the area.

This place is fantastic. We came here once after randomly finding it on Yelp, and 6 months later we're back again because we couldn't stop talking about coming back to enjoy it again.Both times we came, I had the Tantanmen and my wife had the spicy ramen. Both super great. I love the ginger in the base of the Tantanmen, it gives it a huge depth of flavor, along with the house made bone broth, and just the right amount of spice (and they do put curry paste on the edge of the bowl if you want more spice, a nice touch that's functional and also looks cool). The amount of meat they give you a very solid portion. Some ramen places skimp on the meat but it's not so here. I'm no ramen aficionado, but this is my all time favorite ramen so far.Haven't tried anything else on the menu or their drinks, but they do offer lots of other options such as curry if you're not in the mood for ramen.Atmosphere is nothing crazy, but nice and modern with relaxing lofi music as the soundtrack. Small-ish place but they made good use of it for lots of seating. Staff is all super nice too.Would definitely recommend!

Bussing bussing bussing. I had the garlic tonkotsu here almost every week and can never get tired of it. The broth is very much drinkable with a smooth and creamy taste, not too salty not too bland, just right for a good bowl of noodle soup. I usually make it spicy by adding the habanero paste, which cost extra but totally worth it!
