Ramen Restaurants near Arlington Heights, IL

“Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is located in the food court of the Mitsuwa Marketplace at Algonquin Rd. & Arlington Heights Rd. There are some amazing ramen dishes and there is a large menu board at the order counter. We ordered from the ramen combinations and we were not let down. The food was tasty and the prices were reasonable. 100% recommend“

“Very nice, hardworking staff and delicious food! Love this place and highly recommend!! 😋👍“

“the food is yummy / authentic japanese ! the service is great ,“

“All I know is that the food is so good that I have been here 3 times since it opened (Which has been less then 6 months). I know I should branch out and try the other offerings but I just really love the Tori Paitan and will be back more when the cooler weather is fully settled in.
I also sincerely appreciate that there are good non-alcoholic mixed drinks, because sometimes someone just wants a fun mixed drink but none of the alcohol and there's quite a few options here- expanded even from the menu pictured on Google. There's a really good Yuzu based drink that I also keep getting that is my favorite.
The atmosphere is higher end but not pretentious, and cozy while still being open.

I look forward to bringing more of my friends here.

Parking: Fair amount of parking but it's in a strip mall with other restaurants so you're not always able to find a spot immediately. There's usually more parking in the back“

“Food tasted great! Friendly staff and amazing service. Will be back!“

“Ordered carry-out from the Vernon Hills location and loved it! Fantastic quality ramen, flavorful broth and still hot after getting it home. Miso Ramen and Taiwan Ramen are fantastic, but beware that single pepper icon, because it’s no joke! (And I say this as someone who grew up eating spicy food 🙂) Delicious, but intense! I would LOVE to see a milder version of the Taiwan Ramen (or at least a way to adjust the heat, like the Spicy Miso), because the flavor was truly amazing and addictive.“

“All other ramen pales in comparison to Chicago Ramen Annex. The Jiro style Ramen is amazing, the appetizers have been outstanding. The staff is super friendly and helpful.“

“Amazing authentic Ramen. Service and food was excellent. My new favorite in Lombard!“

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“First time here. Droved over 1hr just to try. Love this place. Mickie is great and very caring of your personal and eating needs. Wonderful modern decor. Very friendly staff. Very reasonably priced. Of course the food is delicious! Had several dishes shared. Malaysian steak fried rice, mandarin pork chop was my favorite. Worth the drive. Will come again.“

“this place was great the service and the food 👌“

“The food was decent overall, with flavors that were enjoyable but not particularly memorable. The ordering process was straightforward and easy to navigate, which made the experience smooth from the start. My meal arrived surprisingly quickly, which was a pleasant surprise, though it’s worth noting that the restaurant wasn’t very busy at the time. Overall, it was a convenient and hassle-free experience, with quick service and solid food that met expectations.“

“Wonderful local sushi spot. The black garlic ramen was a flavor bomb and the sushi was well made, tasted fresh, and had interesting combinations.

There are a ton of sushi/ramen places in the NW burbs but this was a cut above and reasonably priced as well.“

“豐富美味價格合宜，算是道地日本拉麵。服務很好，工作人員很友善！“

“I went here with my mom after seeing a TikTok video about it, and I really recommend it! They have both a Chinese and a Japanese menu, so there are tons of options to pick from. I tried the Tonkatsu Don, and it was absolutely delicious! My mom had the Gyu Don, and it was also fantastic.“

“Can I give 6 stars?

1. Asked questions of Shoju, the owner brings beautiful bottle to show you and give a taste! This is better service than last night at 5 star Park Hyatt restaurant!

2. The Izakaya grill chicken skin & spicy pepper, 5 star presentation and taste. 5/5

3. The chilled tofu, 6 star presentation on an iced bucket, and for a steal price. 6/5

4. The simmer fish bone, good amount of fish collar, again nice presentation. 4/5

5. Fatty Salmon Nigiri, 5/5 So what’s the secret of make JP restaurant level sashimi VS the supermarket sashimi? Different level fish, or different knife cutting technique?

6. JP music at background and nice sushi bar seat, deco is 5/5.

I’ll be back for more. A new Gem in Chicago suburb. Must try, please. I’m concerned, they don’t have enough customer to sustain their current food quality / service / price level.

People, this newly renovated new owner restaurant is a must try.“

“Amazing gem in Bloomingdale. The menu has many choices including gluten free, vegetarian, vegan, lactose free, and for us carnivores. Drink menu has sake, handcrafted beer, wines, cocktails, bottled beer, teasing, bubble teas and more. We started with egg rolls and pancake scallion bites. They provide four sauces! My favorite is the chili oil, but there is also ginger, Wasabi and sweet sauce. All made in house. Entrees were sesame peanut noodles and Mongolian beef. So good. We will be back.“

“Food tasted great! Friendly staff and amazing service. Will be back!“

“Just went last night and happy to say that it is finally improving after hitting a slump during the pandemic. The food has always been excellent but service is spotty. Last night, I would give a solid A- for service, and the food, an A+! Hope they keep the upward trend!“

“Tantan noodles was delicious.
Surprisingly, I didn't expect that tasty soup bowl at a food court restaurant.
The broth was rich and full of taste.
The greens were fresh, noodles were cooked well, and even the ramen egg, which I normally skip, was good.
I really enjoyed my lunch bowl.“
