“Rare midweek date night for me and the wifey. First timers. Went on a Thursday night, sat right down. Great Ambience, great decor. Lighting was kind of bright though. The server Gio was outstanding, above and beyond. The bartender Robert was cordial and friendly and paid a visit. Everyone seemed happy and attentive busy Mariah was also wonderful as well bringing our food and making small talk. Awesome value and flavors! Great experience overall. We will be back.👍😉“

“I went with my friends earlier today and let me just say our server Mathew was phenomenal! He helped us really narrow down the menu, showed my friends how to use chopsticks and was overall very helpful and nice. He deserves a raise! He made our experience so nice. We will be back“

“Each table seats 4. We dined in. They have take out as well. We were greeted right away by a friendly wait staff who helped us with some recommendations along with taking our order. everything we ordered was great I had the black garlic pork on the first page of the menu, one of the children had plain ramen with chicken broth and the other had a chicken ramen bowl. We all tried each others and we all agreed our own bowl was the best but they all were good. You can either make your own, à la carte and choose your ingredients or you can choose from pre-made with pictures which we did because it was our first time. we didn't have room for appetizers, but we will definitely be back to try them because they all look amazing. Everything was delicious and we had a fun time with lots of leftovers which they package up very cute and neat, they put the ramen noodles in a bowl and your broth separate so your noodles don't suck it all up by the time you eat it again.. saved it as a new favorite spot!! The kids were ecstatic and had an amazing time which is very hard to do with most restaurants. fun food for kids and great eats for adults. 10 out of 10 from the kids!“

“My wife and I recently visited Umaka Ramen in Lisle, Illinois (the location on College Road), and it turned out to be a really pleasant experience overall.
From the moment we walked in, the service was extremely nice. The servers were genuinely very nice — warm, attentive, and friendly without being pushy. They made us feel welcome right away. At one point we asked for hot water, and they brought it over quickly and cheerfully with no issue at all. That small touch made a difference.
We started with the gyoza. They came out hot, nicely crisped on the bottom, and flavorful. It was a great way to begin the meal. After that we ordered the beef ramen (the spicy beef version). It was extremely nice — the broth had good depth, the beef was tender, and the noodles were cooked just right. Everything felt comforting and well-prepared.
The whole experience felt relaxed and positive. Friendly staff, solid food, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. We’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Amazing sushi and service. We celebrated our anniversary here and loved every minute. The tamago nigiri danced on my tongue and I ate it, everything was flavorful, authentic, delicious and wholesome. No wait for seating, our server was responsive and nice. Looking forward to going back again!“

“I love Domo 77 and you will too! This place is absolutely amazing with attentive staff, amazing chefs, and outstanding food. The Domo mustard is the absolute best addition to a Hibachi dish and if you don’t believe me, go try it! Amazing and unique drink menu, great desert, and fantastic Hibachi dining atmosphere!“

“Absolutely blown away by Ichiddo Ramen in Naperville! Their ramen is fantastic—rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and toppings that hit the spot every time. But the real game-changers are their appetizers—absolutely freaking awesome! I highly recommend the short rib and crab jalapeño appetizers; they're insanely delicious, packed with flavor, and totally addictive. The service is always fast, friendly, and attentive, making each visit an absolute pleasure. Ichiddo Ramen has quickly become my go-to spot—5 stars without hesitation!“

It was fresh, expertly prepared and tasted amazing. Presentation is 💯. The staff is awesome and will make you feel so welcome. Just go!“
