Kitakata Ramen Ban Nai - Hoffman Estates

Good to dine in but this is how much vegetables you get when you take out mixed boiled vegetable ramen

They held us for 40 minutes for 4 people while they let 6 other groups sit and eat who all were also without reservation. I will never come back to this establishment again

We came in on a busy Friday evening and the place was absolutely packed — people were cramming in to get a table! We waited about 52 minutes to be seated, but it was totally worth it. (Tip: you can get in line ahead of time through the Yelp app — we’ll do that next time.)

We ordered two Spicy Miso Ramen bowls with extra egg and corn, plus the pan-fried gyoza. Everything was fantastic — the broth was rich and flavorful with just the right level of spice, the veggies were fresh, and the pork was tender and tasty.

Our waiter was super friendly and attentive, checking in often and keeping things running smoothly even though it was packed. The total came to about $56 before tip, which felt fair for the quality and portions.

Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, flavorful ramen and great service! 🍜

Good Japanese food

Underrated. Better than Chicago Ramen in my opinion. More options too.

I've been going here for the past 8 years. I've tried many ramen restaurants in Chicago area and many different states. This is by far the best ramen spot hands down!

Food was delish! Had the Tonkotsu Ramen and the gyoza! My friend also liked her dish (forgot what it was), and the servuce was great and friendly! Only thing I didn't like was the bigger booth that has 4 tables all together, the tables were too close to each other and it's uncomfortable just having your butt just casually pass right next to the other table's food, but other than that it was great!
