What an amazing little spot! First off, it's VERY inviting. Second, the staff is absolutely amazing! Third, the cucumber salad was put together flawlessly and tasted wonderful. Fourth but certainly not last, both the chicken and the pork ramen were delicious but the broth?!? WOW! ANOTHER LEVEL OF GOOD.

What a pleasant surprise finding this gem in the neighborhood. Great service, great vibe, great food. The ramen broth is exceptional with its earthy richness. The apple shrub drink was delectable, full of apple pie goodness and a pop of fizz. The music created a chill vibe by the likes of Isaac Hayes and such. Gratitude for this discovery.

I’ll be honest — finding really good restaurant options on or near the East Side of Chicago has been rough. In my opinion, literally every restaurant around here has been disappointing… except this one.
The ramen here is absolutely outstanding. You can tell right away that real effort and pride go into the food. The broth was rich and full of flavor, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the whole meal felt super authentic. Honestly, it felt like I was eating at one of those great spots up on the North Side.
The staff was just as good as the food. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive without being overbearing. The whole place just had a great vibe.
This restaurant is seriously a breath of fresh air for the East Side. It’s awesome to finally have a place around here that delivers high-quality, authentic food. If you like ramen, this place is a must. I’ll definitely be back.

The food was really good the first time I came to TNT Ramen a few weeks ago, but our meal on 1/3/26 was on a different level.
As a 20+ year resident of the South Shore neighborhood with close family in South Chicago, and as someone who loves the growing, procurement, and preparation of simple, delicious, and accessible food, of course I had a predisposition to appreciate this restaurant. Our local cuisine leans heavily into fast food. Nothing like TNT Ramen has opened since I’ve been around here. It’s pretty amazing that this place exists at all - that it’s so good is mind-blowing!
Such a warm and comfortable eating space and welcoming people! We had three of their four ramens (didn’t try the beef) all of which were the best I’ve had in Chicago. The depth of flavor in the broths, the excellent homemade noodles - they nailed both these pillars of the cuisine.
Was happy to find out that this place shares ownership with Macias Produce and Taqueria (the taqueria is so good - you won’t find better fire-roasted chicken) and the grocery La Fruteria, which we’ve also patronized forever.
The Commercial Ave corridor between 87th and 95th long has been the most vibrant and diverse area of its sort anywhere around these parts. TNT Ramen fits right in, but also stands out. You really should visit - soon!

First time having dinner here and I couldn’t be happier. The restaurant is clean and cozy and the food excellent. Locally sourced ingredients, slow cooked broths and homemade noodles- delicious! Sebastian waited on our table and made the experience even more pleasant. Looking forward to our next visit.
welcome to the neighborhood! local here, the commercial strip’s of food choices has been the same for awhile from my memory so, to see this place pop up is so refreshing! i finally gave this spot a shot on an off day & it did not disappoint! i got the tonkotsu ramen + the chicken karaage. the karaage was SO good! definitely not an app i get often, but now i know where to go! next, the ramen was pretty good! their approach to their pork belly having more a smoky/char flavor is such a nice touch. my ramen game is still very fresh & i was impressed overall with my first visit. lastly, sebastian, was so welcoming right when i walked in to providing stellar service. i’m for sure coming back to try the rest of the menu & maybe get a brew in! thanks y’all & cheers to future success!

Cucumber salad and spicy chicken karage were phenomenal! I liked my Tonkotsu ramen but it wasn't piping hot like ramens are supposed to be (in my opinion). Next time I'll make sure to note that when I order. Fantastic place, though!
$15 lunch special was a great value.

I have had the ramen as take-out and dine-in and was blown away by both versions. I had the chicken ramen both times and it is excellent. I love all of the toppings especially the soft egg, the fried leeks and the chicken skin. I'm so excited to have such a tasty restaurant open in South Chicago. If you have never had ramen before, I highly recommend you check it out at TNT Ramen It's like a warm hug in a bowl!
