Solid ramen, served up pretty quick. Good option when you want a good bowl but don't wanna cook. I got the red miso ramen with pork. I got the mild version, here it is truly mild so if you want some heat you gotta ask for it.

I just keep coming back, again and again. I have tried several top rated ramen shops in the Chicago area and surrounding suburbs and I will tell you, this is the best hands down. The noodles have the perfect chew and consistency, the broth is so rich that it tastes like it's been simmering for days, total umami bomb. Ingredients are fresh and tasty, the pork melts in your mouth. My go-to is the spicy red miso with egg, add corn. To understand my commitment, I drove from Foster Beach to Des Plaines for ramen and then all the way to the Midway area for work. Pro tip, you can order extra broth to go for six dollars a portion and they are generous.

Very pleased with the experience at Chicago ramen! We came here just before noon on the weekend and were seated right away. Quick, straightforward experience with excellent food and great prices. Garlic edamame is so flavorful and delicious. Chicken rice bowl was huge for $7!! Very good for a non ramen option. Beef curry ramen was delicious, very hearty and dense with great flavor. It's a casual spot that's focused on food above all. Easy parking. Recommend!

Came here on a cold afternoon with a couple of friends and I got the white miso ramen with egg which was packed with flavor. The chasu was a bit fatty for my liking but very tender and the broth was rich and flavorful but slightly too oily for my liking. The white miso comes with thin noodles while the red miso has thicker noodles. The marinated egg was great with a nice jammy center. One of my friends got the tsukemen and the noodles were oddly cold and stuck together which made dipping them in the side of dipping broth difficult. We wished it would come warm as well to make it easier to eat.

Had been hearing a lot of good things about Chicago Ramen and finally had a chance to come try about a week ago. We came in around lunch time and was seated pretty quickly at the counter. Its fairly relaxed and it was fun watching the chef cooking as well from the counter. They have a good variety of options and the Beef Curry Ramen w/ Egg called out to me. It came out after a reasonable amount of time. The dish looked just as good as the picture and tasted even better. Will definitely need to return to try some of the other dishes, especially the karaage!

Friend and I stopped in cause it was so close to the airport and we were craving some ramen. Now, we both love ramen and feel as if we are pretty well versed in it. First off, price to portion was crazy. It's pretty rare I don't finish a bowl but man I was stuffed. Couldn't even fully finish my broth. Second, I don't think I've had actual tsukemen outside of Japan cause most places don't seem to do the thick broth. This restaurant did it amazingly! Broth was absolutely delicious and I always appreciate being able to add extra garlic. If I had one complaint I'd say my pork could've been slightly more tender, but that's nitpicking. I love a counter style ramen restaurant and food came out quick. Service was good too. I recommend and am excited to come back!

Really great unassuming ramen spot. Glad we were recommended this place because their ramen is very unique and delicious. The service was great and quick. Take the time to read about their story and their recommendations on how to eat the food. Will definitely be recommending this place to others.

Chicago Ramen is one of my favourite ramen spots in the Chicagoland area. I think they at least have the best tsukemen in the area by far. This also seems to be one of the most authentic ramen spots around. They specialize in a style of ramen that uses a very rich and salty pork broth with thick noodles. I love that this is a casual spot where I can quickly get in and out for a meal or snack. I haven't tried their chicken ramen yet, but the tsukemen and miso ramens are excellent and full of flavor. Although the broth tends to be quite salty, I think the balance is just right, so it's still easy to finish the bowl. In contrast, I personally find High Five Ramen's broth to be so salty that's it's hard to even finish the noodles. The chashu and egg are pretty good. I prefer to get the tsukemen here, but the white and red miso ramen are excellent as well. The miso seems to be better quality than most places, and the pile of bean sprouts are refreshing with the heavy broth. For anyone who isn't used to eating tsukemen, you're supposed to dip your noodles in the bowl of broth. When you're done with the noodles, you can ask to have your remaining dipping broth diluted with a lighter broth, so you can drink the soup. I like to eat miso ramen when it's cold and tsukemen when it's hot. Tsukemen is great for people who love chewy noodles. They use Sun Noodles, which are always reliable. The price is good for the portion. There are some great ramen spots in Chicago, but I like coming out here to the suburbs for quality ramen without the premium price.
