Ramen Restaurants near Evanston, IL

“This is the best ramen in Evanston and the North shore! 🍲🥣🍚🍜“

“I really like this place! I had the Tantanmen ramen and chicken karaage and both were bomb. Great service too. We were seated quickly and our food came out in under 10 mins. 5/5 stars in my book!“

“great food I love the atmosphere and culture when you walk in .the server is really nice she shows great customer service skills and she is beautiful too but I will definitely recommend this to anyone“

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

“Such an awesome experience. We are new and town and wanted Ramen and ended up at Rudy’s. Not only was the food amazing, the cocktail program was topnotch, and the service was as well. Rudy and the beverage manager were both so kind and went out of their way to chat with us and make sure our experience was perfect.“

“I went here today just to try it out. I absolutely loved the design of the inside of the restaurant and the staff was incredibly friendly as well as very aware of what my needs were before I even had a chance to ask for anything. The food was also presented beautifully and tasted delicious!
I highly recommend and I will definitely be back!“

“Came in looking for a favorite Tan Tan Men most similar to the taste of which we had in Tokyo. Menya Goku’s Tan Tan Men taste essentially identical to it and I’m glad to have a local restaurant that replicates the true taste of an amazing Tan Tan Men. Amazing service and environment and will return again.“

“We tried shio and shoyu ramen, both were great based on your preference. I personally love beef broth ramen, which is rare to find in Chicago. Definitely would go back to try miso broth too. The soup was not too salty like most ramen shops, and the noodles were thin and still al dente, which is quite impressive. The portion size was perfect. I'm not a fan of the backless counter chairs. We went late afternoon on Saturday and the place was nearly full at an odd hour.“

“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 ….🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Best Ramen in Chicago. Noodles are the perfect texture, broth is rich and full of umami, and of course the pork is oh so tender and charred. Make sure to add an egg as it doesn’t come with it. Don’t expect spicy ramen cause authentic Japanese ramen isn’t really supposed to be.

I highly recommend a visit cause it is worth the hype. I absolutely love Akahoshi, praise the Ramen Lord! ??“

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

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

“Food was amazing so Delicious will definitely be back“

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

“An Edgewater gem. You can meet your friends and family here for a tasty meal. I was just walking by and stopped in. I was amazed at how good my Ramen Noodles were. Order out or dine in. You'll be glad you made the choice to eat here. Delicious.“

“The ramen was very delicious! We also had the pork and beef buns and my personal favorite was the beef, but everything had a ton of flavor! I really reccomend this place whenever you are craving authentic ramen.“

“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!!!“

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

“Stumbled upon this place on a rainy day and I’m glad. It was a peaceful and cute environment to stop by for a meal. I used the tablet to order, but the worker was kind and friendly and made sure to ask if I needed anything.
I wasn’t that hungry so I ordered two appetizers, the chicken buns and crab rangoon.
The chicken buns had chicken katsu which was a first for me, but they tasted delicious and it had a nice crunch to it. Very flavorful. I am a crab rangoon lover and it passed my flavor profile. Creamy because of the cream cheese, but had enough crab to balance it out.
I look forward to eating here again to try the poke bowl and ramen!“

“I have been to this ramen spot several times, mainly because its open during lunch hours.

I find this ramen to be very good and satisfying. The broth in both types of ramen are porky and flavorful. You really know a good ramen spot by their broth.

Their pork belly bun with side sauces was excellent. Really a nice starting treat prior to your soup.

Its a really good ramen with hours of operation that caters to customers schedule.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Literally the best place I’ve ever eaten“

“Best spot for noodles 🍜 plus awesome atmosphere“

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

“fantastic tiny place but the food sushi huge selection and ramen are great. I have such a nice experience Everytime I go there. The owners Akira and Kathy are THE NICEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. REALLY PLEASANT! I go next door for a pedi and I just feel so relaxed and nice going in this mini strip mall. I really recommend both. if your having a crappy day go get a pedi and enjoy some great sushi or ramen. it's a counter place but it has its own charm and coziness. they use to own the restaurant in Wilmette but downsized. so help keep this gem and go often.😀“

“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!“

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

“I love this place! The decor and atmosphere is very cute and friendly, and the price is really good for all you can eat sushi. Plus they have some super good dishes you don't find elsewhere, like pumpkin tempura and their dodomi salmon sashimi. So good!“

“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 🙌🏼)“

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

“The food here is so yummy. I've gotten take out here only. Fried chicken with the gochujang sauce, Coconut pho, lemongrass udon, beef udon, chicken katsu udon are SO GOOD. You really can't go wrong. My favorite dumplings are the lemongrass chicken*** and the beef. I would pass on the edamame one in the future. But overall such a good find. Love it!“

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

“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.“

“The food is wonderful, and the staff here is even kinder! Was having a bit of a tough day and they randomly threw in something extra for me, and it truly made my day. Thank you so much!“

“Highly recommended👍 delicious“

“This place is great one for vegans!!!! Loved the chefs special ! The flavors blend well and like that they also had gluten free noodles (rice) option. Great service . Quiet place and ambience.
My husband had the chicken ramen and loved it as well ! Would definitely recommend !“

“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.“

“Really good food. Great for when you know you need to up your healthy food consumption but also want some delicious food & sauces. Not expensive. I love the seating. Employees are always nice. Excellent value. Also, I am allergic to sesame and miss traditional sushi and this is an amazing substitute.“

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

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

“I went here recently when I was celebrating a special occasion. My friend got some Ramen and I got Orange Chicken. We shared a Crunchy Shrimp Roll and a Spicy California Roll. The food was hot, fresh, and tasted amazingly. The service was direct and wonderful but the smell of seafood was heavy. I understand since there is seafood it will smell a bit fishy but I wish it wasn’t so strong. The seats were a bit uncomfortable too. Other than that, it was good and affordable.“

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

“Great food and beautiful restaurant ambience.“

“If you're looking for a delicious and authentic bowl of ramen in late night, look no further than this small local gem. 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“
