“Great food, fresh ingredients… worth every penny!“

“We were here on a Saturday night (Sept 20th 2025), we had both the spicy miso and spicy tonkotsu. Both extremely flavorful and delicious. Really solid classic tonkotsu, one of the best I’ve had. The service was truly incredible along with the various drinks we had. I couldn’t be more pleased and I recommend anyone that likes ramen to come here! :)“

“Service was spectacular, incredibly friendly staff. Please put at least a 30% option on your tip machine haha

Every element of the ramen bowl was so tasty and seemed to be given special attention. Made ya feel good in your heart and soul to eat it!

Can't wait to come back :>“

“I came to this restaurant in February of this year for my birthday, and 6 months later I’m still thinking about this ramen and trying to see when I can go back. Had the Monster Ramen and it was the most flavorful ramen I’ve ever tried. Definitely excited to go back and either get it again or try something else, I’m sure everything they have is just as good.“

“KOHOKU-KU RAMEN CHICAGO is such a unique and delicious find. Their ramen is rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced, while their pizza has a fresh, crisp crust and tasty toppings. It’s rare to see both done so well under one roof, but they’ve mastered it. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service is attentive without being rushed. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to when I want the best of both worlds.“

“Simply put the best Ramen I have ever had. So flavorful and rich. If you don’t come here you are missing out on a oral orgasm lol. Highly recommend and Christine the bartender makes one mean spicy margarita ….🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“This is the best ramen places in Chicago! Great vibe inside and playlist was so calming, food was unreal, I would recommend the Szechuan tori paitan with chicken karaage! Olemich gave great service and was so friendly! 10/10 would recommend.“

“Their Ramen is absolutely delicious!! 5 stars.“

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

“Quick friendly greeting and seating on a cold, wintery evening. The place was busy but the service was prompt and accurate. Excellent quality food and large portions. And you'll probably never be short of soy sauce per your taste.“

“Amazing food, very flavorful, Midwest bowl was the group favorite along with the monthly special. Service was subpar for a place that includes 20% tip, we went almost the whole meal without water and had to ask someone other than our server for stuff saw them twice maybe three times our whole meal.“

“Excellent Ramen. Excellent bartender in Helen Try the Mango Tango Vegi Roll.“

“Food was amazing so Delicious will definitely be back“

“Great food and interesting menu to say the least. 10/10 would eat and drink again!“

“Great Ramen，good ambiance！“

“This is where indulgence meets sustainability, thoughtful presentation, and the pure joy of great food. Being lazy, I ordered delivery, and to my surprise, the ramen tasted just as if I were dining in. The packaging alone was so well done that I would have paid extra for it. Even before taking a bite, the aroma was incredible. Every ingredient blended perfectly, creating an explosion of flavor in every bite. I finally checked off another must-visit spot on my list, and I’m so glad I did. Do yourself a favor and try this place—I think you’ll love it!“

“Always a pleasant experience! I’m a Youtuber: EatWithDT and I do food reviews/mukbangs/challenges etc. I reviewed one of my fave meals from here and it was a hit of course!!!“

“I just ordered carry out for the first time , I got the salmon don , ramen w steak and miso broth and shrimp skewer w a passion fruit soda .

Everything was very delicious! The miso broth was rich and creamy , the shrimp skewer was really delicious , crispy and in a teriyaki sesame seed sauce, and the salmon don was also very tasty w soft fresh rice and nice seaweed salad on top .
The waitress gave my dog water and was very friendly and packed the order perfectly including drink and soup for me to carry without spilling as I am disabled . I will def be ordering from here again!!“

“Whenever I rarely go out to ramen restaurants, I end up getting full and finishing my meal. Yet, this restaurant made my expectations skyrocket. The chicken ramen had various flavors while the broth had a bit of spice to it (no problem for me honestly). The spicy szechuan wings were unrelated to the average spicy wings. They were genuinely spicy from the tip of your tongue to mouth. The chicken and vegetable gyoza tasted good but the accompanying sauce clashed with it. At the end of it, there was a QR code to either pay the bill in full or spilt it. Would recommend and will bring my friend from Virginia here.“

“Best Sushi Restaurant on the planet. Not only was all the food superior than any other Sushi restaurant I've been to. My family and I had a feast.(I mean all the food was good). Very reasonable prices as well. The most astonishing fact about this restaurant was the host (Quam) his amazing knowledge of food and customer service was unlike any other. The Ice cream desert was mind blowing. You don't have to take my word for it, but I guarantee you, you won't find another Sushi restaurant in the city of Chicago as good this one. The ambiance of this establishment is very warm and pleasant. I highly recommend this place for family gatherings, and with people you want to share a special food feast with. It's pure laughter and joy. Thank you Quam for your kind recommendations on food selections. My family and I had the time of our lives, as if we were on vacation. Thank you! "Fresh Shushi Chicago" is a gift to eating out.“

“Best spot for noodles 🍜 plus awesome atmosphere“

“Its my 4th time there and I just LoVe it 😍“

“Literally the best place I’ve ever eaten“

“Authentic made by family Korean food. Consistently good food and service.“

“I have loved this spot since it opened. Every time I come the service is great, and so is the food. The belt is included in the all you can eat which is so convenient, and the tempura is top notch. I highly recommend getting the roll with apple in it because it’s not something you see a lot elsewhere, and it adds just a little fresh crunch.“

“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 🙌🏼)“

“BEST RAMEN! i dream of it sometimes. something about the coconut milk broth ramen piqued my interest last night, and I'm glad I listened to my intuition. Oh my goodness. whoever's recipe that is, please give them a massive hug for me right now and say thank you because that was the most delicious thing I've had in so long. What a TREAT! these folks have somehow managed to incorporate happiness as an ingredient in their food, so when you eat it, All the happiness particles travel through your body for 24 to 48 hours and you feel extremely satisfied and fulfilled. you might miss the ramen afterwards, and you might end up having dreams about it like I do but trust me, they're pleasant dreams.“

“Really lovely and calming atmosphere! I'm from out of town working an event and it was a very relaxing experience to eat here. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and my partner ordered the general tso chicken (and we both got some tempura shrimp). The server was so kind and polite and our food was AMAZING. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area!“

“Absolutely delicious! Kind and cozy atmosphere. Wonderful staff. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Chicago 🍜🍣🫶🏼“

“I had the coconut curry pho. It was a delicious noodle soup that hit the spot! With a 20% tip, it was about $23. It was definitely pricey but I saw a sign that they provide free meals to children on Mondays. Reading the reviews, I know people were definitely using this offering. If some of my payment went to feeding a child in my community, I was happy to spend it.
Thank you UrbanBelly for taking care of the families in Wicker Park.“

“Five Stars! & Most Definitely a hidden jem !“

“super authentic, good quality food! great owners and staff!“

“Highly recommended👍 delicious“

“Fantastic! Went here for the first time and was not disappointed.

The ordering process is different, you fill out a form when you walk in and give it to the counter person.

Don't worry, they have patience with newbies.

Food was fresh and tasty, quantity was not lacking either.“

“Great Fresh Sushi. A very popular place, so expect a wait. But the staff is quick and attentive. Skilled chefs. One of few Sushi places that do not add extra rice as fillers to make the Maki or Sushi seem bigger. Bottom line ..... Good Food.“

“What an amazing dining experience! The food was excellent, the service was superb. Really enjoyed ourselves here, will definitely be back.“

“Had a delicious meal, great service, and calm atmosphere at YATAI. We are vegetarian leaning and there were plenty of options. It was clear to us that the food was freshly made. (Nothing wilty or overcooked.) Will totally go back when we are looking for Asian influenced cuisine with lots of options.“

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

“I love this place. Especially the one on Irving park always good food, service and environment.“

This restaurant may not look like much from the outside, but once you step inside, you'll be transported to a cozy and inviting space .The menu features a variety of ramen options, each one bursting with flavor and made with high-quality ingredients. Whether you prefer rich and savory tonkotsu broth is very good and big monster is super delicious“
