Ramen is up there with some of the best I've had and I'm from Chicago. Not overly salted which is how you know they trust their dish. The only negative is the egg, which isn't molten like other ramen spots. It could've been cooked more and at least cut in half to let it absorb the broth. I got the miso ramen with the fire in the bowl. Get this - the best part wasn't the ramen, it's the bao buns. I got the soft shell crab one which was actually perfect. Seaweed salad hit the spot too.
Live music and pool tables. Arcades as well. Entrance is in the back.

If I was told I could eat one meal before I die, it would be Ruckus’s Red Curry Ramen with Fried Chicken. I keep coming back to Ruckus Ramen, and I order the same thing every time, as evidenced by my three photos of the same dish. I usually ask for the fried chicken on the side so it stays extra crispy. Pro tip: show up closer to opening (between 4-6pm), before evening events happen, and you’ll find parking with ease and receive quick service when you order at the bar. Bring quarters or some cash so you can play pinball or try the claw machine while you wait!

OMG! I'm crazy in love with their ramen. Whenever I'm sick this is my go to. Their ramen is fulfilling, taste great and helps clear my sinuses when I'm stuffy. The drink are good too. The prices are very reasonable. I also ❤️ this place because you can stay, chill out & play some games or listen to the live band

Ordered the pork belly bowl and it was fabulous! Wife ordered the fried chicken bowl and it was also very good, though I preferred the pork belly bowl. Atmosphere is a cool bar with pinball - would recommend!

I didn’t want our pup, Marge, to eat alone, so I asked for side of plain sweet potatoes and pork belly. They did not disappoint—I noticed a bit of kale in there too ^_^ She was *quite* content with her surprise dinner 😎
(Slow feeder so it lasted longer than .08 seconds)

The food is good, but its time to make some changes, the menu needs some additions..

This place is hands down the best ramen bowl I have ever had that wasn’t a 4/5-star restaurant/price. I literally just finished my dinner and felt compelled to write a review despite me not typically being a “review guy”. This is probably the 5th or 6th review I have ever done and for context, this was an online takeout order.
We ordered tempura shrimp to share as an appetizer that was perfectly crisped and had just the slightest hint of spiciness (not hot at all) that took it over the top. The pieces were large and not oily like a lot of the average Chinese takeout places are.
The biggest reason I wanted to share my experience is because it is sometimes difficult for us to find a restaurant that we both like bc I am a very picky eater when it comes to vegetables and she is the complete opposite. If you’re in a similar situation, this is the place to go.
I ordered the pork belly rice bowl with hoisin and despite me ordering online, I was able to write in the instructions to ask not only if they could give me the hoisin on the side, but if I could sub the rice out for noodles. They did exactly that and it was pretty awesome that they didn’t charge extra. The meal was absolutely delicious and the ingredients taste fresh. The pork belly was amazing and had just the right amount of fat left for the flavor but was not overly fatty at all. Everything was seasoned perfectly and I highly suggest trying some of the fried garlic oil.
The other dish ordered was their most popular item-the miso ramen, which also came with pork belly and added fried tofu with it. There are tons of different protein options and they put the broth into a quality soup to-go container so that the dishes aren’t soggy/overcooked when you get home.
They do what a lot of restaurants don’t do, which is simplify the menu and flavor combinations so that you can taste the layered flavors instead of how others throw too many things into the dish and complicate the palate.
If I had one “complaint” (despite it being much better than similar ordering from other takeout places) it would be that they don’t have a website but instead redirects you to their Facebook page where a link to order is available but not easily accessible without having to search for it. I would note that despite that, the ordering process was extremely easy and lets you make changes/choices that many other similar places do not. Upon entering to pick the order up, I was pleasantly surprised how spacious the attached bar/pool tables etc was and we plan on making another trip soon to dine in because the atmosphere is really cool. Really great experience and the staff was very friendly as well. Very excited to try more items on the menu.
A great variety of drinks and draft beer. Sometimes you want a one on draft. The food is phenomenal. I have eaten here 3-4 times and it has always been amazing. Come for the food stay for the pinball and nice staff.

Apparently it’s 21+ but they don’t tell you that until you get here with hungry kids

Love the unique ramen bowls available on the menu! Very fast and sufficient even with my substitutions! Thank you for being gracious for picky eaters like myself!!

Says closes at 10 pm. Called at 9 pm and put on hold for 20 minutes. Tried calling for 20 minutes after that but just got busy signal. Drove to restraunt and got told we stopped food already and it was only 940 pm. Used to go here every month but I'm not coming back anymore if we are going to get terrible service like this.
