Ramen Restaurants near Wheeling, 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.“

“All I know is that the food is so good that I have been here 3 times since it opened (Which has been less then 6 months). I know I should branch out and try the other offerings but I just really love the Tori Paitan and will be back more when the cooler weather is fully settled in.
I also sincerely appreciate that there are good non-alcoholic mixed drinks, because sometimes someone just wants a fun mixed drink but none of the alcohol and there's quite a few options here- expanded even from the menu pictured on Google. There's a really good Yuzu based drink that I also keep getting that is my favorite.
The atmosphere is higher end but not pretentious, and cozy while still being open.

I look forward to bringing more of my friends here.

Parking: Fair amount of parking but it's in a strip mall with other restaurants so you're not always able to find a spot immediately. There's usually more parking in the back“

“If you’re looking for authentic ramen and exceptional service, Chicago Ramen is the place! Ty and his staff go above and beyond to make every guest feel special. The Tsukemen was unbelievably good — rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. I can’t wait to come back and try more items. Thank you, Ty, for making this such a great neighborhood gem!“

“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.“

“I really liked this place overall. The ramen had good flavor but was too salty for my taste. On the other hand, the karaage was absolutely perfect—probably the best I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing. The staff didn’t come to take our order, and we had to go up to the counter to ask for the check.“

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

“Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is located in the food court of the Mitsuwa Marketplace at Algonquin Rd. & Arlington Heights Rd. There are some amazing ramen dishes and there is a large menu board at the order counter. We ordered from the ramen combinations and we were not let down. The food was tasty and the prices were reasonable. 100% recommend“

“豐富美味價格合宜，算是道地日本拉麵。服務很好，工作人員很友善！“

“Very nice, hardworking staff and delicious food! Love this place and highly recommend!! 😋👍“

“Absolutely phenomenal Poke Burritos. Get the #1 Jimmy’s burrito. The sauce, freshness, and textural contrast is perfect. The shoyu ramen and gyoza did not impress and are skips. Restaurant is self serve and fast so it’s good for a quicker meal.“

“the food is yummy / authentic japanese ! the service is great ,“

“Really lovely and calming atmosphere! I'm from out of town working an event and it was a very relaxing experience to eat here. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen and my partner ordered the general tso chicken (and we both got some tempura shrimp). The server was so kind and polite and our food was AMAZING. Definitely coming back when I'm in the area!“

“Hands down one of the best Tonkatsu Bentos around. The pork cutlet was crispy, golden, and incredibly juicy. Sankyu Sushi & Izakaya does an amazing job honoring traditional Japanese flavors while delivering consistent quality. A five-star experience every time.“

“First time here. Will definitely be coming back many times! The Red Miso Ramen was the best I have had in a long time! Cannot wait to come back!“

“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 🙌🏼)“

“Food tasted great! Friendly staff and amazing service. Will be back!“
