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.

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.
