Some drunk/high lady barged in the store and harassed my wife and I while the staff just watched. The waitress finally started trying to yell at her while the two men behind the counter just stared.
We tried to change our order of two bowls of ramen to go to get the hell out since it was clear they weren't going to do anything. By the time we got our food she was still there (had been in and out a few times).
We drove home in silence because we were both so upset then when we got home we found they actually only gave us one bowl of ramen despite ordering two.

By far the worst experience I've ever had at any restaurant ever. Hopefully this was a one off but obviously we will never go back.

Nice clean interior. The staff was wonderful and very helpful explaining what ingredients were in the dishes. Spicy Miso with the pork was what I chose. First time here, definitely will be back probably often. Food was delicious. Very nice portion for a to go order as well.

Overall the food is amazing. We just had a few bad experiences with the server while ordering for take out. The first time we called, she was somewhat rude, however I figured she was having a bad day. Second time we ordered it was the same lady over the phone and still rude and couldn’t get our orders right. 3rd time we called for take out, it was the same person again, very rude, couldn’t get our orders right. When we kept repeating our orders we can over hear her on the phone saying “oh my god” in frustration which is very unprofessional. In addition to the rude service, she also charged us extra for items which was a different amount from menu. When we asked her about it, she said she couldn’t override the charge and that was the price. We told her just to forget about it and left. I tried to complain to the manager to get this resolved, because the food is amazing, however we have not got a hold of them. For now we will stop going until this resolved.

Incredible place. The best ramen and atmosphere in Chicago!

Used to Be a Gem — Now Just Ordinary and Disappointing

This ramen spot used to be one of my go-to favorites — flavorful, consistent, and worth the visit. Unfortunately, it’s lost the magic. The quality has noticeably declined, the broth is now thick and heavy, and the overall experience just doesn’t hit the same. Really disappointed to see such a great place turn so average. Hope they find their spark again.

Been a few times most recently a weekday for lunch. Did their lunch special of red miso ramen and the pork bun. Incredible. I’d made mine spicy. My friend on her first visit did the chicken ramen and appetizer. She said she’d definitely go back. It’s craveable and that’s a great thing! Be ready to wait if you go at peak meal times. At 2:45p we had the counter mostly to ourselves. Would absolutely recommend.

Best ramen in Chicago (and in Des Plaines). The tsukemen noodles’ texture is just right, the soup is rich and the pork is tender. Everything is just right. It’s 1 place I would drive an hour to when I crave it.
