Ramen Restaurants near Skokie, IL

“Great to see more japanese restaurants opening in the area. Especially the casual ones like these where you can just walk in and get good food without waiting for too long as in fine dining restaurants. The food is very good and their teas are great. Ordered chicken katsu, japanese beef dish, and sushi. The staff is friendly and the place is cute and cozy.😊“

“I highly recommend this place if you love ramen as much as I do! The food quality and taste were incredible. I started with unsweetened oolong tea and takoyaki, followed by Goku Tonkotsu ramen, I chose the non-spicy option, and it was absolutely delicious. Honestly, I would give this place a Michelin star if I could! 🍜✨“

“Ramen was flavorful, hot, fresh, and tasty. Food and drinks came quickly. After that, we had to approach a busser for a utensil and eventually take-out containers. Not sure if our server was also the bartender. It wasn't awfully busy, and we had to flag him down for the bill.“

“Incredible experience. I will definitely be back. Tried the monster and the spicy summer. Both were amazing. Oh and can’t forget the Gyoza. 10 out of 10 highly recommend!!!!“

“A perfect hole-in-the-wall ramen place in Edgewater. It’s tiny. They have no air conditioning. But their food is genuinely good from broth to tofu. Despite being a ramen place, their curry was just as awesome. This is a perfect spot on a rainy or snowy date night. Highly recommended.“

“Stopped for a quick bite and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The ramen was rich, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Alex took the time to walk us through the menu and made excellent recommendations that really elevated our meal. Fantastic service and delicious food! We will absolutely be back!“

“Simply put the best Ramen I have ever had. So flavorful and rich. If you don’t come here you are missing out on a oral orgasm lol. Highly recommend and Christine the bartender makes one mean spicy margarita ….🤤🤤🤤🤤“

“Nomu is seriously one of those ramen spots you keep thinking about after you leave. 🍜🔥 The ramen is flavorful, comforting, and just hits the spot every single time. Definitely the kind of place where you finish your bowl already thinking about when you can come back. Can’t wait for my next visit! 😍“

“Greet for groups with many different tastes“

“Food was amazing so Delicious will definitely be back“

“THE BEST RAMEN IN CHICAGO!!!
We come here every month to try their monthly specials if we can get a table. Sad I won’t be able to re-experience some of them, but also impressed by how innovative they are and always excited to try their new ramens“

“Great service and Linda was our very friendly server.“

“Excellent authentic flavors. Sort of a Japanese-Chinese fusion.“

“Great food and interesting menu to say the least. 10/10 would eat and drink again!“

“Great Ramen，good ambiance！“

“This is the best ramen in Evanston and the North shore! 🍲🥣🍚🍜“

“Always a pleasant experience! I’m a Youtuber: EatWithDT and I do food reviews/mukbangs/challenges etc. I reviewed one of my fave meals from here and it was a hit of course!!!“

“this place was great the service and the food 👌“

“Their Ramen is absolutely delicious!! 5 stars.“

“Good food all around. Nice sake“

“We visited the Ramen San restaurant at 165 E Huron Chicago. The food was delicious! And the best, authentic green tea I’ve ever had. Try any of the ramen bowls, superb . Just one thing that needs improvement, the service is slow, we waited long for someone to come to our table and welcome us and take our drink order.“

“It was good food to enjoy with family.“

“This was our first time doing an experience like this and it was wonderful. For the price, it was worth it, we were super full by the end of it. I guess we assumed a specialty cocktail would be included which we were anticipating, but overall we had a blast. The time it took for the food to arrive at our table was fast and fresh. Would come again 100%“

“I ordered the Tonkotsu with pork chashu from Hoi San Ramen, and it was amazing! The broth was rich and creamy, the pork chashu was tender and flavorful, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. Everything arrived hot and fresh, even for takeout. If you're looking for delicious ramen at home, Hoi San Ramen is the place to order from!“

“Excellent Ramen. Excellent bartender in Helen Try the Mango Tango Vegi Roll.“

“I really like this place! I had the Tantanmen ramen and chicken karaage and both were bomb. Great service too. We were seated quickly and our food came out in under 10 mins. 5/5 stars in my book!“

“This is a very nice restaurant for ramen. The tonkotsu ramen with the bone broth tastes amazing. You can tell they put real effort into making it authentic. The staff are very friendly and cooperative when you ask for extra things like a slice of lemon for your fried appetizer or extra napkins. The decor is Japanese-cute. My only concern is the public environment outside the restaurant. The area near the Wilson/Sheridan corner smells very foul in summer time. There is visible defecation on the sidewalks, more likely from humans instead of pets. I would suggest to the business owners in the area to band together, cooperate, and powerwash the sidewalks of the surrounding area frequently and petition the city and state law enforcement to diligently enforce all existing public health ordinances. I would also support the state legislature if they criminalize public defecation, urination, smoking, drinking, yelling, fighting in public, etc. with severe punishments and, ideally, send all those riffraff to prisons outside of this country for life. I know it is a fantasy, but wouldn't it be nice to have a clean, sanitary, and safe neighborhood for such a nice restaurant? At the minimum, more powerwashing of the public spaces within a 3-4-block radius outside of the restaurant, at least once a week, would be nice. I sympathize with the business owners, but they also have a greater voice with the city and state authorities. Please use that voice to clean up the neighborhood around you, and I guarantee I will be at the restaurant almost every week.“

“great food I love the atmosphere and culture when you walk in .the server is really nice she shows great customer service skills and she is beautiful too but I will definitely recommend this to anyone“

“WOW I was so impressed by this place! I was close by and needed some food, and they were able to complete my order very quickly! Got a chicken yakisoba, and it SLAPPED. The chicken was good quality and the veg was really fresh! Definitely a new regular place to visit.“

“The art of being perfect is practically impossible the reason I say practically is this place. They take a crab Rangoon a salty food and someway somehow makes it sweet but also makes it work. And the service is great they constantly check in with you seeing if you’re ok and they even threw away some of my trash without me asking. the fact that this place is not only good in service but also taste and the amazing Japanese atmosphere while also having reasonable prices shocks me definitely a 10/10 Scorsese would cry at this.“

“Amazing food!! Love!! It’s the best“

“Best Sushi Restaurant on the planet. Not only was all the food superior than any other Sushi restaurant I've been to. My family and I had a feast.(I mean all the food was good). Very reasonable prices as well. The most astonishing fact about this restaurant was the host (Quam) his amazing knowledge of food and customer service was unlike any other. The Ice cream desert was mind blowing. You don't have to take my word for it, but I guarantee you, you won't find another Sushi restaurant in the city of Chicago as good this one. The ambiance of this establishment is very warm and pleasant. I highly recommend this place for family gatherings, and with people you want to share a special food feast with. It's pure laughter and joy. Thank you Quam for your kind recommendations on food selections. My family and I had the time of our lives, as if we were on vacation. Thank you! "Fresh Shushi Chicago" is a gift to eating out.“

“I decided to check out this local ramen restaurant which is right next to Thorndale train station. I ordered the Tonkotsu spicy ramen and I must say it was delicious.

The only critique is that I only got 2 pieces of meat, and the bowl did not have much veggies in it like your average ramen spot. However, it was pretty good and I’ll definitely visit again.“

“Highly recommended👍 delicious“

“I dined at Neko Sushi and tried their tuna and avocado fried rolls, and they are the reason I’ve already been back three times in the past two weeks since finding this neighborhood gem. My fiancé ordered the shrimp in a blanket and they were perfectly crispy and packed with flavor. I had the ramen both times and it was absolutely delicious. My fiancé tried the pad thai with shrimp on one visit and the basil shrimp fried rice on another, and both dishes were full of flavor and so satisfying. Neko Sushi has quickly become one of our favorites. Everything we’ve tried has been consistently fresh and tasty. Oh and they are BYOB!“

“BEST RAMEN! i dream of it sometimes. something about the coconut milk broth ramen piqued my interest last night, and I'm glad I listened to my intuition. Oh my goodness. whoever's recipe that is, please give them a massive hug for me right now and say thank you because that was the most delicious thing I've had in so long. What a TREAT! these folks have somehow managed to incorporate happiness as an ingredient in their food, so when you eat it, All the happiness particles travel through your body for 24 to 48 hours and you feel extremely satisfied and fulfilled. you might miss the ramen afterwards, and you might end up having dreams about it like I do but trust me, they're pleasant dreams.“

“Authentic made by family Korean food. Consistently good food and service.“

“Definitely recommend! The gyoza was delicious and ended up getting another portion. I’m not a huge sushi fan but trusted the staffs recommendation for the ‘angel roll’ (thanks to Skye and Yuri) and ended up eating all of it! The staff were super knowledgeable about the menu and welcoming.“

“Literally the best place I’ve ever eaten“

“Great food, fresh ingredients… worth every penny!“

“super authentic, good quality food! great owners and staff!“

“The widest selection of Sushi grade seafood Ive seen on a menu in a Long time- all very fresh and very generously portioned! Octopus and salmon Sashimi were the dessert orders from our kids 😂 We will definetly be returning, and highly recommend. Servers, Host, Owner, entire staff was extremely attentive- and to top it all they were happily and safely able to accomodate my childs severe dairy and peanut allergies (first sushi experience for him, and we Love seafood, so huge win for the whole family 🙌🏼)“

“When I was diagnosed with celiac disease, I thought I would never be able to eat at some of my favorite restaurants again. While this is true for most restaurants, it’s not true for YATAI. They are very knowledgeable about how to prepare their dishes in a safe, gluten free way without cross contamination, and it makes me feel safe and comfortable eating out again. If you call, they can tell you what they can make gluten free, and if you use the Uber Eats allergy function, they will let you know if anything you ordered can’t be made gluten free (but I recommend calling first). Their food is delicious, and I can say that with all of their considerations surrounding my dietary restrictions, they will have a regular customer for life!!“

“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.“
