• Decent Japanese food in Chicago! Really tasty sushi, gyoza and skewers. Ramen broth, pork belly is good but noodles was a bit soft. Overall still really good!

• Good Ramen, not the best. Food is good here, well worth the wait, but the Ramen is just good, not great

  by Jeffery W.

  
  

• Hands down the best ramen in Chicago. The spicy miso garlic ramen is really the only way to go. It's actually spicy. Perfect for a cold winter night. Great place to eat solo

  by Shams S

  
  

• Get the Hotate Aburi (lightly torched scallop) sushi. Next to the ramen, it's my favorite thing in this place.

  by Michelle M.

• "This might be my favorite ramen in the city. The broth is great, the noodles are great and the garnish is right on... I love this ramen." Chef Sean Sanders

  by Chefs Feed

  
  

• Best Tonkotsu in town no doubt. But be sure to try other fantastic things as well.

  by Kevin S

  
  

• Unless you get there right it 5:00 you'll be waiting at least half an hour, but the ramen is worth every minute of it!

  by Jes N.

  
  

• Surf and turf roll is a must

  by Ricardo T

  
  

• Fantastic ramen and the sushi is fresh and delicious. They don't take reservations and is BYOB. Only had to wait about 10 minutes for a table on a Thursday night.

  by Fletcher Rhoads

  
  

• The tonkotsu ramen is awesome.

  by Cassandra Cheong

  
  

• Tonkotsu Ramen was the best I've ever had. Didn't know it was BYOB until I got there so make sure you're prepared!

  by Alison D

  
  

• This place is so much better than Yusho, slurping turtle and Furious Spoon.

  by Samantha O.

  
  

• Waiting for ramen!

  by Sarah J

  
  

• Most likely you will be waiting in line about 15min. Don't move. It's worth it. Truly has been the best place for Ramen since my spot in LA. Always go tonkatsu if you're new. It never will disappoint

  by Alicia J.

  
  

• Spicy Roasted Garlic Miso Ramen

  by David Crespo

  
  

• Eat all the food brah. The only possible done side to this place is the wait time...but if there wasn't a line I would question society and their knowledge of quality.

  by Marcellus M

  
  

• Hey Wasabi, you should join Freebie! The benefits are amazing for both you and me.

  by George S.

  
  

• The perfect meal: Go with a friend & each order a ramen bowl, split a small plate (tempura recommended), and share mango mochi for dessert!

  by Kirsten K

  
  

• Shoyu ramen with pork belly 😍😍😍

  by Faith Le

  
  

• I will reiterate everyone else: Spicy garlic miso & pork belly buns! The ArtMex Maki is not bad either. :)

  by Sarah W.

  
  

• This BYOB spot on a sparse stretch of reality is a ramen haven. The beauty is in the rich, creamy pork broth, which takes 45 hours to make.

• Tonkotsu Ramen

  by Lawrence Flack II

  
  

• Best ramen in chicagoTry the spicy miso

  by Rishik Pillai

  
  

• Good tonkotsu broth, tasty noodles, and mostly nice toppings. Unfortunately the pork topping wasn't very enjoyable and the space had terrible acoustics/a nasty draft. I'll try again in spring.

  by Dana Jensen

  
  

• Pork belly buns and the tonkatsu ramen were to die for! We also had special valentines day oysters that were amazing too! + It is BYOB. What else can you ask for?

  by Charlie F.

  
  

• Tonkatsu ramen is my favorite. I can only seem to get in without a wait on the weekend for brunch. I won't wait outside at night in the winter--I don't care how good the food is.

  by Marissa R.

  
  

• Pork belly spring rolls to start...goodness and decadence wrapped into one! Then follow it up with a big bowl of ramen. Mmmm

  by Jeffrey T

  
  

• Pork buns will make you question everything that came before and everything that comes after.

  by craig m.

  
  

• Tried the shoyu ramen tonight. This is really just a watered down version of their tonkotsu broth (tells you how crazy thick *that* is). Egg was perfectly cooked but cold inside. Pork very salty.

  by Shinji K.

  by Christopher N.

  
  

• Get here before 6:30 if you don't want to wait an hour.

  by Zak J.

  
  

• I gotta say, the broth in the ramen is just delicious, but it's the broiled Brussel sprouts that keep me coming back. Just amazing!

  by Hugo P.

  
  

• The ramen takes 45 hours to prepare and only 45 seconds to finish. Complete the experience with a 45 minute nap.

  by Matt B.

  
  

• Everything we had was good! Surf and turf!!

  by Marlon H.

  
  

• Sadly, not impressed. Service and food were less than average. I had higher expectations and was seriously disappointed. Sad about it.

  by Evelyn P.

  
  

• Long wait times for food that is just so-so

  by Laurie E.

  
  

• There's a long wait on weekends! It's worth it, though.

  by Alexis H.

  by Emily B.

  
  

• Today Sept 1 is their last day in this location. They are moving close to the Congress Theater which is few blocks away.

  by Susie C.

  
  

• It's not on the menu but order a Japanese style breakfast. Steamed rice, ramen egg, nori, 2 skewers, pickles, and miso soup. It's the best breakfast you've never had!

  by Panda B.

• Yum! Unagi and Brie nigiri!

  by Elspeth J.

  
  

• The waitstaff is terrible, not even worth a 10% tip.

  by Rizzo F.

  
  

• Tonkotsu Ramen: The pork cheek served in the ramen is tender and flavorful in a broth that is comforting.

  by Serious Eats

  
  

• Sushi is overpriced, small and unexceptional. Ramen was also so-so.

  by Amy M.

  
  

• Really nice place. Good food and excellent service, and the best thing is close to my house

  by Memo L.

• can't go wrong with the tonkotsu ramen!

  by Gloria C.

  
  

• They don't take reservations and you have to wait outside when your waiting for a table. It's worth the wait, but I suggest you don't go on a rainy, cold or snowing night.

  by Leah J.

• BYOB. Get the tonkatsu ramen on a cold winter day. It'll make you warm & woozy.

  by Vivienne T.

  
  

• The sushi is hit-or-miss. Try the fried chicken skin yakitori, soft Japanese sweet potato coated in crunchy panko and a genius fried spring roll that pairs luscious Berkshire belly with tart kimchi.

  by Time Out Chicago

  
  

• Get anything with pork face in it, especially the ramen.

  by Morgan S.
