Went on a Sunday, I forgot to check their hours of service so when I got there they only had 3 more minutes until they closed but they were really nice and still took our order to go. Their service is amazing, We ordered their classic ramen and asked if it was possible to get it without the sesame seeds and this may look like a small gesture but the lady taking our order asked if we had a sesame allergy, of course we didn't it was just a preference but I was glad she still asked since the ramen also includes sesame oil in their ingredients. We also ordered their tempura udon and made it a combo with the tuna roll. As it being my first time here I assumed they were going to be small portions but boy was I wrong, they give you 4 and the cuts look like 1.5 in wide. Their to go portions are huge, the food is amazing, has really rich flavors, I would recommend this place to my friends and family.

Good service. Price was not bad for Chicago. The broth tastes very good and the ingredients are very fresh also. The portion size was huge that I took left over to go and had it as a late night snack.They have a complimentary salad bar that is fresh and I liked their house dressing. It was very refreshing to have with ramen noodles. I thought the broth could be too rich or greasy that may upset my stomach but despite the appearance , it wasn't at all and I enjoyed it very much. Definitely come back when I am in the area again.

I'm not sure why no other reviewer has covered this, but there is a sufficient amount of seating available if you decide to dine in. Ample parking. When you walk in, you order first along with the tips (optional), then you get a number. There is a free salad bar (standard salad bar nothing special). There is also free water (cold and hot) along with free tea packets. You'll find a small cart with each table (napkins, chopsticks, salt, pepper, etc. We ordered champ ramen, curry ramen, gyoza, and takoyaki. The drinks we got were discounted and they were made next door. The gyoza and takoyaki were good. The ramens looked big but were filled with lots of vegetables. Definitely a lot more than other places I've been to. I usually like more noodles than vegetables. The seafood and curry broths were tasty. Not too salty, just the right amount of flavor. I was surprised to see a variety of seafood in my bowl. I had a few pieces of shrimp, scallops, and mussels. The meat was tender. Overall, it's a decent ramen shop. I think less vegetables and more noodles would certainly raise my rating.

Very nice Ramen restaurant, the food came out hot, loaded, and seriously Spicy! Anyway, I really enjoyed eating here. The staff is friendly, the place is clean, and the ambiance is chill. They have a salad bar which is only free if every person in your party orders a dish over $11, otherwise, it's $4.99. However, everything here is pretty much above $11, so you should be fine. They have a litttle cart next to your table full of seasonings, utensils, to go boxes/bowls. Which I thought was pretty convenient, instead of having to call the waitress over every time you need something. The food came out quick and super hot, I had ordered the mild spicy ramen (can't remember the name of it) and it was super spicy, even for us, and we eat alot of spicy foods. Just be cautious of what you order, the cashier is very helpful, so just ask and they'll tell you everything about a dish. Only downside was the spacing, since the space is fairly small, the tables are close together and it feels kinda packed. While I was there, only 3 other customers came in to eat, so it wasn't too full. The prices are average for todays economy, nothing to complain about there. I would recommend this place If you're looking for a good Ramen place in the Area.

I had the salmon and avocado poke which was a good portion and satisfied me. There was a modest salad bar that comes free with the meal. The produce was fresh and crunchy. The matcha refresher drink I had was too sweet.

Let me start with the service here is amazing. We reserved seats ahead of time as we had a huge party. They had a group of tables reserved for us and were very welcoming as soon as we came in. We had multiple food allergies in our group and the server who took our orders was so patient and thorough in taking down the allergies and notifying the staff. She was also very knowledgeable about the ingredients in all the items and made sure we were aware of items we were ordering may have some or be in contact with some of the allergens thru frying. She was so accommodating and wanted us to know with certainty the food we were ordering so that we could have peace of mind and to be able to enjoy the food. The food also came out very quickly and all the servers provided great service. You could tell they really care about their customers.I have never seen this before at a Ramen place but they have a small AYCE salad bar. If you spend a certain amount (basically order an entree) the salad bar is free. Had romaine, spinach, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, olives, a few toppings and a few different dressings. Nothing extensive but was a nice small touch. On to the food. I ordered a side of karaage and the Champ Ramen. The karaage was pretty good. The only thing I would change is that the breading was a little wet, soft so it did not have that super crispy outer texture when you think of karaage. The chicken was nice and moist and the flavor of the breading was there. I decided to try the Champ ramen over the Simple Ramen as the Champ ramen was the same price but included seafood. Man does this place pack in the food. There was a lot of seafood in the ramen. There were clams, shrimp, octopus, small scallops and mussels. This was in addition to two pieces of chashu, some fish cakes and half an egg. The ramen broth was pretty good as it was rich but could have had a little more depth of flavor. The chashu was velvety and tender but also could have used more braised flavor. It maybe because I have never had such a mix of seafood or long cuts of cabbage in my ramen but it made me think of jjamppong. Overall the food was good and you get more than your money's worth with the portion. For parking there is a small parking lot out front in addition to the large lot that services Lowe's, as they are in the same plaza.

Huge portion and good toppings. I liked the stir fried veggies on top of the ramen. Broth is flavorful. The egg was not soft boiled tho.

Great new Japanese place with free salad bar! We had the curry and udon. The curry was rich and crispy and came with a juicy fried karage.

The environment is very cozy and fun, has a decent amount of seating for the size of the place. The salad bar has decent option, and very friendly staff. The portions are really big for the cost, it's definitely the best bang for your buck. The champ ramen was a refreshing new flavor of ramen as the seafood broth had so many pieces of clams, shrimp and other shellfish, all being soft and tender. The meat on top was one of the best pieces I've ever had with a ramen, with texture, flavor, it just melted in my mouth and fell apart when I tried to pick up. All of my friends enjoyed their dishes and it is definitely on our list to go back to, to try the rest of their menu.
