Ramen Restaurants near Wheeling, IL

“I like the food of this place better than their Schaumburg location, the original chef from their 1st location was there cooking when we went. Service is still on the learning stage as you could tell the server wasn't on top of things yet. The decor was beautiful, best one of all their branches.“

“Our experience here has been phenomenal - this place was recommended to me by all my coworkers and we were passing by. We ordered the Gyoza, the Chicken Karage, the Tokyo Miso Cha Shu ramen, and a Hakkaido Cha Shu ramen. The Hakkaido broth was good but a little too rich for me, but the Tokyo Miso Broth is absolutely amazing - it's light enough without being bland, noodles were decent, the Cha Shu pork was really good, and all other small soup components (cabbage, corn, etc) added a lot of flavor and detail to each bite. Gyoza was not bad, Karage was amazing and juicy. Overall love the vibe of this place and how simple and straight forward everything was. Highly recommend, this may be my new favorite ramen shop in the Chicagoland area.“

“every thing tasted amazing! the portions sizes were huge, truly got our money's worth ! the champ ramen just had so much in it and paired perfectly with the most tender pork i think i have ever had. oh and the salad bar was so simple yet so perfect“

“I cried.."If the food doesn't look like it does here I don't want it." -My wife"You can taste that someone took hours to prep this broth" - John10/10 brothMelty Egg was perfect and not overcookedPork literally falls apart in your bowl.“

“Ordered Tonkotsu ramen, Kaarage, Gyoza and avocado sushi.The ramen consistency was great, Broth had a distinct but wonderful flavor and it was frothy which I liked. The toppings were also great. Eggs soft boiled to perfection and I didn’t have much of the chashu but it was also good.The Karaage was also good. Breading was great and they use dark meat which was a pleasant surprise.Gyoza was good too. Less crispy then most and I like that but maybe some might not.Sushi was also top notch. For some reason its not on the online menu but I highly recommend.I also had a taste of someone else’s katsu don and It was good.The staff are incredibly nice and considerate and there was not much wait for our food (Infact, some of the ramen came before the appetizers!)I only give the atmosphere a 3/5 because the sun glares through the window and it can be quite annoying.P.S. Big portions on the ramen so be prepared for leftovers!All in all, HIGHLY RECOMMEND for ramen lovers in chicago.“

“Absolutely delicious Japanese food. You can order at the counter (they’ll bring it to you) or you can order on your phone and leave a tab open (and close out at the end). We got a meal set with shio mackerel and katsu with ponzu, udon, edamame, and a large katsu curry. Everything was delicious and authentic. The prices are great for the portions and quality. If this place were near us in the city, we’d be in trouble. #curryeveryday“

“It was our first time here. And now we love it!A lot of fresh ingredients! So many to choose from.We got a bowl, a burrito and boba tea.The bowl was full of ingredients of my choice: shrimps, marinated salmon, spicy tuna and almost every vegetable from the menu. ? Burrito we took almost the same but tuna and salmon were marinated. ?We ordered sauces on the side for our convenience. Can recommend their poke sauce ! But volcano one wasn't spicy for me at all ?But still, we enjoyed it a lot!Boba drink is so good that you can easily finish it in one minute! We took mango with tapioca and never regretted it! They have a lot of space for sitting and enjoying the food with your family/friends.There is a bathroom too. ?There are a few parking spots across the street if you came with Google maps. ?️Dietary restrictions: They offer gluten free options.“

“Excellent little dine-in place with great portions and picture-perfect plating. The Tonkotsu ramen was piping hot and generous with the serving, and the potato croquettes were perfect in just about every way. For the money, it's hard to do much better than this.The dine-in area is a bit spartan, but it does the job. They were playing some lovely City Pop music so the vibes were right. Will be back sometime for sure.“

“First time here last week and last night (2/23/2024), we came back and dined with friends. There were 9 of us in the group. Food was delish! We had diff types of sushi, ramen, gyoza, edamame, and Taiyaki with vanilla ice cream for dessert. All were delish and brought to our table quickly. The place was clean and staff were efficient. We sat on the part of the restaurant where you sit on the floor while you eat. We enjoyed the authentic Japanese dining set-up. They have various Japanese beer and wine, and dessert options as well. Prices are slightly higher than other Japanese restaurants nearby (Ari Sushi in Des Plaines & Sushi Nikko in Arlington Heights) but we can deal with it because of the efficient service. I think this becoming one of our fave sushi places.“

“The poke bowl was a flavor-packed delight, boasting an abundance of fresh fish meat perfectly balanced with vibrant ingredients. Every bite offered a harmonious blend of flavors, leaving me craving more. With its generous portions and impeccable taste, this poke bowl is a must-try for any seafood enthusiast.Parking: Up to 4 empty spots during pick up“

“Great food very fresh and plenty of protein!I've had beef and chicken bulgogi Only bad side no banchan sides at allHad to order a small side of Kimchi for $3 .. considering the plates are $15 or $16 it should be included otherwise everything else is great, have been here 3 times now during my lunch time“

“The food delicious , sushi was very tasty . The desserts were pretty good . My family and I enjoyed the atmosphere here as well as the delicious sushi rolls . We got spicy salmon, spider roll ,caterpillar ,kamikaze ,chili mango . All very delicious .“

“Cute little ramen spot with the see thru kitchen style. The spicy red miso ramen was delicious but quite thick as advertised. The gyoza was also delicious. The gentleman working offered a free appetizer to my friends and I which was very kind. Downside is no restrooms. Will be back to try more & eventually check out the actual restaurant.“
