Update from my last visit from 5 stars change to 0.5stars Sunday after snow storm, stop by for lunch. There no one to talk to when you walk in so you go straight to kios, order and paid. Find out only 3 type of ramen available, and 2 choices of appetizer available. I pick karake appetizer and shrimp wonton ramen. Paid and the chef were saying both items not available. And they cant refund my money cause they are chef with no authorization. This a joke right? No its not, the chef cant refound my money so he said he have no choice but the food are available now. I got my ramen which is not making me come back here. And look at the pic of burnt chicken karake they gave me. I paid $28 for bad food and bad service. The owner doesn't care about this business anymore they used to be very good. So shame on you Chicago Ramen.

It is a very small restaurant located in a strip mall. There are only 3-4 tables for seating and nothing else - not even a restroom, so there’s not much to the place. However, the food was great. I got the Creamy Vegan Ramen with a side of an egg. I added fresh garlic and plenty of Onikasu (red spice) that are available on each table, which I really appreciated. The broth was so rich and flavorful, and I have happy with the toppings as well. I will definitely be back!

Nice small place. More for take away than dine in but they do have some tables. I ordered the mazesoba as it’s something Ive never had before. Toppings were tasty especially the crispy garlic but the real star of the show was the saucy noodles. It was unctious and delicious. I love trying something new every time I visit.
