CHICAGO RAMEN Lab

Absolutely horrible tasting Ramen, lower quality than instant Ramen noodles avoid this place. I had to throw the entire bowl away.

I think it's new owners. The menu is different and the original chefs not there. No tsukemen.

Update from my last visit from 5 stars change to 0.5stars
Sunday after snow storm, stop by for lunch. There no one to talk to when you walk in so you go straight to kios, order and paid. Find out only 3 type of ramen available, and 2 choices of appetizer available.
I pick karake appetizer and shrimp wonton ramen. Paid and the chef were saying both items not available.
And they cant refund my money cause they are chef with no authorization.
This a joke right? No its not, the chef cant refound my money so he said he have no choice but the food are available now. I got my ramen which is not making me come back here. And look at the pic of burnt chicken karake they gave me. I paid $28 for bad food and bad service. The owner doesn't care about this business anymore they used to be very good. So shame on you Chicago Ramen.

They will not pick up the phone and their online ordering menu doesn’t match the one pictured. Would’ve loved to try it if I could order the vegan curry ramen but their customer service made it impossible.

Great when it's open, but consistently not. Restaurant consistently has a tendency to just not be open but not modify their schedule and doesn't pick up when you try to call to confirm if they're open or not. Does not remove unavailable items from the menu: tsukemen is not available here, rather is at another associated location about five minutes away by car (which is utterly fantastic ftr). The king seafood ramen has been unavailable for a very long time. This wouldn't be the worst problem, but you can order online and I'm unsure if it'll just end up eating my money or not given how frequent I've come here just to see the door closed when it says it's open online. Someone else mentioned they ordered online and it was not communicated with the owners here, so I worry what might happen if you order food when they're closed outside their usual hours.

Will change review when this stops being a problem, but even so they really need to remove things that are no longer available from the menu entirely.

DO NOT ORDER ONLINE. I ordered an order online for pickup but when I arrived the person at the counter had no idea what I was talking about and refused to give me my food unless I paid for a different order at the kiosk.

The menu that is online is not the menu they offer at this location, much smaller menu. Overall was good, but not something I would return for.

Best ramen I’ve had since moving to the chicago area, but what really shines is the staff. They were so kind and helpful it blew me away. I will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
