Tucked in a shopping plaza with free parking, I found Chicago Ramen Annex to be a small cozy place with about 8 dining tables to satisfy my ramen craving. I ordered the $17.95 white miso ramen with an egg and the red spicy paste on the side which I'm glad I did because I found it to be on the spicier side. It came hot and it was delicious. I will definitely come back if I'm in the area.
The jiro ramen here is homey and robust. The broth is more savory than and not as salty as what you'd find in a tonkotsu broth (flavor wise it's actually a little like garlic bread). Adding the heaps of vegetables and huge cuts of chashu, the jiro ramen gave the impression of a dish you'd make at home, where one's focus is less on intense flavor and more on having a filling and tasty meal. I look forward to ordering the jiro again next winter.
Decent bowl of ramen. Tried what they considered as a light and medium broth. If you like ginger, light is the way to go. Chashu was better than other ramen restaurants but I didn't care for their noodles as much. Service was a little slow and our order was messed up. We also ordered a karaage appetizer which arrived after we were served our ramen. Perhaps they were short staffed that day.
