Ramen Restaurants near Rolling Meadows, IL

“First time going here was amazing, staff was great and very respectful, and don’t even get me started on the ramen, everything about it was amazing from the taste to the look. But yeah honestly great place to grab ramen.“

“Decided to have dinner here a few nights ago and was very pleased with our decision. For appetizers we had edamame and takoyaki. Mains, I had spicy beef ramen with a big beef rib in it, my husband had beef curry rice, my daughter had pork katsu rice, and her fiance spicy chicken ramen. Everything was delicious. You can have the spice level adjusted to your preference, I ordered Mild and one of us ordered Fire (spiciest, using habanero peppers). Free refills on sodas. Service was fast and our server was very friendly and accommodating. Plenty of parking out front. Definitely recommend it. We would come back here again. 👍“

“Ordered carry-out from the Vernon Hills location and loved it! Fantastic quality ramen, flavorful broth and still hot after getting it home. Miso Ramen and Taiwan Ramen are fantastic, but beware that single pepper icon, because it’s no joke! (And I say this as someone who grew up eating spicy food 🙂) Delicious, but intense! I would LOVE to see a milder version of the Taiwan Ramen (or at least a way to adjust the heat, like the Spicy Miso), because the flavor was truly amazing and addictive.“

“All other ramen pales in comparison to Chicago Ramen Annex. The Jiro style Ramen is amazing, the appetizers have been outstanding. The staff is super friendly and helpful.“

“First time here. Droved over 1hr just to try. Love this place. Mickie is great and very caring of your personal and eating needs. Wonderful modern decor. Very friendly staff. Very reasonably priced. Of course the food is delicious! Had several dishes shared. Malaysian steak fried rice, mandarin pork chop was my favorite. Worth the drive. Will come again.“

“Santouka is probably the most popular option in the Mitsuwa food court: the line can get long at certain times of day.
Ramen menu offers three sizes for a range of appetites, along with combinations with small rice bowls topped with pork, fish, or other meat.
Customizations are limited compared to other local ramen shops, but a decent stop for food court dining. Noodles are thinner cut and not quite as chewy as I prefer. Egg is not soft boiled (ajitsuke tamago) if that is a deal breaker for ramen heads. :)

Kid-friendliness: Rice bowls and small ramen sizes are good for smaller appetites.“

“I've ordered dinner from here several times since they opened. Every time it's been made on time, handed over by a friendly staff member, and been delicious! I love the black dragon roll the best :)

Parking: Shared lot with the whole strip, on the other side from the Jewel so it's never too crowded.“

“We wanted to try a new place tonight and this was perfect! The food was amazing, the service was great! Even my picky son loooved his ramen and he usually never drinks like soup or broth and he literally drinking the bowl. Definitely will be back!“

“I found this place about 5 years back or so. Ever since then I’ve told my friends and family about it. Now pokeburrito is my whole family’s favorite place to go for poke. I only go here for poke bowls! They’re so delicious every time.“

“Folks, this is the real deal. All the food was great. I'm pretty sure the chef is Japanese. I say so because they have authentic items like Nira Tama and Kampyou Maki (both fabulous, by the way) that you won't see on the menu at other places. They also had Iichiko (wheat shouchu (think vodka)), and they were happy to make me an oolong wari. Loved it!“

“The best sweet potato sushi I’ve had, delicious.“

“I went in and just got the boba tea and the waffle with ice cream and strawberriesThe atmosphere was great looks nice inside and out. But sadly, I did not have a chance to try the food but they do have a great verity on the menu. I plan on going back soon since the service was great!“

“We've gotten take-out three times now and the food is consistently hot and delicious, and prepared very quickly. Staff is friendly over the phone and at the front desk. We have closer options for Japanese food but Umai is SO worth the drive! Highly recommend!“

“Just went last night and happy to say that it is finally improving after hitting a slump during the pandemic. The food has always been excellent but service is spotty. Last night, I would give a solid A- for service, and the food, an A+! Hope they keep the upward trend!“
