This place is so good! I tried the vegetable ramen and it was PHENOMENAL. The broth was full of amazing flavor and yet it was light. I’m usually a red miso fan but this is my new favorite by far. I used to go to the Crystal Lake location as it’s right next to my house. I will never go back there after several awful experiences with the manager and issues with cleanliness. I will 100% drive to this new Algonquin location to get the quality, cleanliness, and flavor I’ve come to love from Chicago Ramen!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

This was my first visit, and I was completely impressed. The flavors were incredible, especially the beef curry ramen with an egg, which was rich and satisfying. Every bite was a delight. The staff was very friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. I cannot wait to come back.

First time at this place and I must say everything was excellent. The service from the two servers was top-notch—they always had a smile and checked on us at just the right times. As for the ramen, it was incredible; the broth was rich and the noodles were cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back!
