Ethan B. • January 19, 2018Tokyo classic ramen and the nuggets are amazing

Maia F. • August 20, 2016The tonkotsu ramen is my favorite. The best part about the ramen is the 12 hour cooked broth that's just alive with flavor in your mouth. Wonderful place to eat.

Tiffany W. • August 14, 2016ramen is delicious and well priced. definitely try the okonomiyaki if it's available!

Marco G. • April 5, 2015Great staff and amazing ramen! Menu is limited but you can't go wrong. If you're new, start off with the Furious Ramen with a side of the pickled veggies then proceed to enjoy! Itadakimasu!

Chase T. • February 16, 2017The best ramen I've had in Chicago. Go solo to avoid the wait. Half spice is great, if you're sensitive to spice get no spice and ask for the spice on the side.

Lanny F. • March 8, 2019Tried a number of ramen here and was so happy with all. Not so much with the appetizers. Fun simple place if you like loud hip hop.

Rich M. • April 11, 2015The Ramen House is very good and popular with Japanese friends. Gets crowded around dinner time.

Vithida S. • August 6, 2014Like the unfiltered sake.. Ramen is decent

Nikita P. • February 22, 2020Spicy ramen is delicious, but doesn’t taste traditionally Japanese. Garlic tonkatsu ramen is on par with other decent ramen. Very soft boiled egg. Bowls are smaller but still satisfying.
