Ramen Restaurants near Des Plaines, IL

“If you’re looking for authentic ramen and exceptional service, Chicago Ramen is the place! Ty and his staff go above and beyond to make every guest feel special. The Tsukemen was unbelievably good — rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. I can’t wait to come back and try more items. Thank you, Ty, for making this such a great neighborhood gem!“

“Nomu is seriously one of those ramen spots you keep thinking about after you leave. 🍜🔥 The ramen is flavorful, comforting, and just hits the spot every single time. Definitely the kind of place where you finish your bowl already thinking about when you can come back. Can’t wait for my next visit! 😍“

“We stopped by today for dinner. My picky eight year old loved the miso soup so much we ordered four bowls to go. The tempura udon was delicious. The chicken katsu curry was delicious. The gyoza was so good we ordered two servings. The salmon was fresh and serving size generous. The fried chicken also so so good. Prices are very reasonable. We will be regulars for sure: sorry owners! 😬“

“I dined at Neko Sushi and tried their tuna and avocado fried rolls, and they are the reason I’ve already been back three times in the past two weeks since finding this neighborhood gem. My fiancé ordered the shrimp in a blanket and they were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I had the ramen both times and it was absolutely delicious. My fiancé tried the pad thai with shrimp on one visit and the basil shrimp fried rice on another, and both dishes were full of flavor and so satisfying. Neko Sushi has quickly become one of our favorites. Everything we’ve tried has been consistently fresh and tasty. Oh and they are BYOB!“

“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.“

“Definitely recommend! The gyoza was delicious and ended up getting another portion. I’m not a huge sushi fan but trusted the staffs recommendation for the ‘angel roll’ (thanks to Skye and Yuri) and ended up eating all of it! The staff were super knowledgeable about the menu and welcoming.“

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

“Santouka Ramen inside Mitsuwa is genuinely the best ramen I’ve ever had. The broth is incredibly rich and flavorful, the noodles are excellent, and everything comes together in a way that makes it hard to order ramen anywhere else without comparing it to this place.

What really sold me was that my girlfriend has actually been to Japan, and even she said Santouka was comparable to the ramen she had there. That says a lot.

It’s one of the main reasons I love coming to Mitsuwa in the first place. The quality is consistently excellent, the portions are satisfying, and every bowl feels like something you actually remember afterward.

Absolutely phenomenal ramen and easily one of my favorite food spots in the area.“

“Great food serving up so very tasty options. Service was slow to start but there was a festival going on so I can't blame the staff too much. Once the orders came in the food flowed well and timely. Very cute booths with plenty of privacy for all your slurping needs 😋“

“The widest selection of Sushi grade seafood Ive seen on a menu in a Long time- all very fresh and very generously portioned! Octopus and salmon Sashimi were the dessert orders from our kids 😂 We will definetly be returning, and highly recommend. Servers, Host, Owner, entire staff was extremely attentive- and to top it all they were happily and safely able to accomodate my childs severe dairy and peanut allergies (first sushi experience for him, and we Love seafood, so huge win for the whole family 🙌🏼)“

“Hands down one of the best Tonkatsu Bentos around. The pork cutlet was crispy, golden, and incredibly juicy. Sankyu Sushi & Izakaya does an amazing job honoring traditional Japanese flavors while delivering consistent quality. A five-star experience every time.“

“Everything was delicious 😋 the crazy noodles 🍝 amazing 😉 thank you 🙏“

“Ramen noodle restaurant in fashion outlet mall of Chicago. Food was ok. I asked for spicy and it was truly spicy. Egg was not fully cooked. Service was decent and fast. Prices were high, maybe because it's the fancy mall, but I think it is overpriced compared to the food. Food court was noisy.“

“Sushi is no longer served here which surprised me but instead I chose a teriyaki shrimp lunch meal which was excellent. I also LOVED the golden shrimp and will be back for that!!! My food was hot with decent portions, and the lemonade tasted freshly-made and tart. I think she may have used pure ingredients as I watched her make a pitcher at the bar area. I also liked the music which surprised me- 90's R&B slow jams. Super chill and quiet atmosphere here with interesting and unique decor throughout.“
