Poke rice bowls very good, meat and veggies are fresh and taste great, we liked it every time. The ramen is ok, soup is bland and meat is not finely cut, pretty random shape, it could have been prepared better look. read more

Very good restaurant, stopped by to try for the first time, I had the ramen and it was very good, I enjoyed it, only downside to it was that it was a bit salty. I had the mango smoothie and pork buns. My partner had a poke bowl, he had ordered white rice but was given brown rice instead. I enjoyed playing a game of chest with my partner after eating. Very accommodating and great service. read more

Gung Ho - Ramen Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

We recently stopped at Gung Ho. First timers. It's a Japanese eatery specializing in poke bowls, bibimbap and ramen. You order at the counter and you either pick up your food or it will be delivered. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant is very clean, has wooden booths and tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They also have a cart with games and slso sketchbooks at each table. My husband and I started out sharing the takoyaki, which are octopus balls. My son introduced me to this dish and I am obsessed with it so I was happy to see it on the menu. They didn't disappoint. My husband had a Mongolian udon bowl and I had a poke bowl. Both of us customized our bowls and chose what we wanted in them. I like that we are able to do that. I also had a taro milk tea with tapioca pearls made with almond milk. Everything was delicious and fresh. We'll definitely be going back here again. read more

AS GOOD AS GOLD The magical broth at this ramen spot in Bolingbrook is 24K of richness. Gung Ho operates on the northwest corner of Boughton & Weber Rd, next to ALDI and a nail salon. Over the years, we've only had carryout/delivery so I can't comment on the dine-in experience....though I have seen a shelf with various card games on it I'd love to take advantage of. Staff are friendly and orders have always been ready on time. My wife usually gets the Shoyu ramen ($15 w/sliced seaweed, garlic oil, spinach) and I always get the miso ramen ($15), a traditional broth with choice of protein, soft boiled egg, green onion, corn, and bamboo shoots. I devoured everything except the bamboo, 'cause I'm not a panda. The pork chashu (braised pork belly) is some of the BEST I've ever had, marvelously fatty with a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. If you're feeling extra hungry (or are really into anime), you can order the Goku ramen bowl ($22) which includes chashu, shrimp, grilled chicken and fried chicken. Maybe eating it makes you go Super Saiyan?? Their ramen has 4 options for spiciness: a 'little' spice, spicy, spicy ++, or a 'spice bomb' on the side. I've ordered normal spicy and it's been perfect every time; I'm worried anything hotter would work against the delicious flavor profile of the broth, which I do not want to mess with. Gyoza (6 for $8) are tasty, especially when dipped in the garlic ginger-soy sauce. Crab Rangoon (6 for $7.50) come with a sweet peach sauce, another great choice for appetizer. If you're not feeling ramen, Gung Ho also has poke bowls ($13), Mongolian stir fry, and a teriyaki bento box ($14). My wife loves their coconut milk tea ($6), and she insists on getting one every visit. I've tried the banana milk tea and the Thai iced tea, both were tasty. You can add tapioca pearls, popping boba, or fruit jelly (lychee, mango, strawberry) at no extra charge. They also have an "avocado milk crush", whatever the heck that is. * TL;DR * Tanaka Ramen in eastern Bolingbrook was our go-to for several years, but I think Gung Ho edges them out in terms of quality. The miso ramen is an umami explosion and the milk teas are great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Prices are fair with an interior that encourages hanging out (sketch pads and board games provided).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Gung Ho offers good vibes and some of the best ramen in the area, I highly recommend them![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

We just got back from Japan over the weekend and due to our crazy itinerary, we were unable to make it to a really good ramen shop--Gung Ho genuinely helped make up for that. I have had ramen in many regions and this is definitely my favorite in the western suburbs so far. The noodles are perfect, the broth is flavorful and delightful, the chashu is the perfect doneness and thickness and the miso egg done right. I wasn't crazy about the amount or flavor of the bamboo, but the rest of it more than made up for it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is great, good music and service and I loved the sketchbooks and colored pencils on the tables.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Love this place! Thank you for your hard work! read more

Gung Ho - Tonkotsu Ramen Noodles Goku Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Bolingbrook, Illinois

We ordered tonkotsu ramen and the kimchi and fried chicken ramen . The char siu was pretty good.The ramen and the broth were ok. It wasn't super good or bad. I like their peach sauce for their crab rangoon. We didn't get any drinks so don't know if their drinks are good. This place would be a nice hangout place with friends. They have board games and sketchbook to draw. read more

The food was fresh with large portions... very tasty & healthy! I would definitely recommend Gung Ho & plan to go there more often. Oh & the boba tea was good too! read more

The vibe and interior design is really cute and friendly. The service was good with kind workers. I was actually disappointed about the food. I ordered kimchi fries without cilantro. In my opinion, the sauce in the kimchi fries is delicious but the shredded cheese is unnecessary especially when it's not even melted; the fine chopped jalapeños is also not necessary to have on there. I also ordered the green tea lychee tea with tapioca. The tea in general was good and not too sweet but the lychee taste was very subtle. The tapioca had no flavoring but I do like the size of their tapioca. I think this spot is more worth the drinks than the food in my opinion but I do want to give another try on their food. read more

Gung Ho is pretty new. You order your food, then find a place to sit down. Once it's ready you pick it up from your counter. The complimentary water cups are nice, more sturdy than the cheap ones you find at some places. Service was excellent, they don't mind helping you. You can play some board games while waiting as well as draw on some paper. Crab rangoon was tasty. It came with a peach tasting sweet and sour sauce. The tonkotsu ramen with the cha siu was disappointing. Broth lacked flavor, tasted bland. Cha siu meat was decent, moist and tasty. Kimchi and fried chicken ramen is something I would not order again. Flavors didn't really blend like how I imagined it to be. I would keep them separate. The fried chicken was okay, reminded me of the same type of chicken used for sweet and sour chicken, you find at Americanized Chinese restaurants. Kimchi was fine. read more

It's Anime themed and even the buzzers has anime on them. Booths have outlets to charge your phone or other devices. Has a sketchbook for you to draw or doodle. Also, there is a small cart full of table games. There is complimentary water dispenser. Food is actually pretty good. Kimchi Fries were the best. Wasn't too spicy and all the sauces and toppings were fresh and flavorful. The Tonkotsu Ramen were delicious too, though the pork chasu 1 piece was overcooked and the 2nd piece was better. The chicken kaarage was dry and overcooked, so definitely needed the sauce to dip it in. Also, got the taro milktea and it was very creamy and rich. Overall, I would definitely come back to try the other dishes. read more

August 1st, 2023 grand opening. The restaurant is clean and modern. The staff here are extremely friendly. I ordered the karage, kimchi fries, tonkotsu ramen and two milk tea drinks to go while being in the area. I personally enjoyed the tonkotsu ramen with beef most as it was most authentic compared to the other items ordered. I recommend you carve out some time to dine in for a better experience! read more

The food was amazing in both taste and quality lots of customization for the bowls, their boba selection is also exceptional. The Service was exceptional as well , price wise it is a little bit on the more expensive side then I would like. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The overall ambiance of the restaurant was very welcoming and warm anime playing on each tv around the restaurant.the chairs/seats are a bit uncomfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And will all of that it is definitely an experience and would recommend trying.(I recommend the spicy ramen with fried chicken) read more

My wife and I went on there soft opening, and I have to say the experience with the meal wasn't as pleasant as people say it is. The spicy miso ramen wasn't that great as it wasn't even spicy. The gyoza, unfortunately, fell short of expectations, resembling nothing more than ordinary pot stickers. The biggest disappointment came with the chicken karaage, which failed to capture the authentic essence of the beloved dish. The restaurant lacked high chairs, making it somewhat inconvenient for my family as my son is a little over 1 year old. read more

Food was ok. The sesame chicken was extremely sweet and the crab rangoon was very mediocre. I loved the fruit tea and would definitely recommend the drinks here.

Fast casual restaurant with cute and clean interior. Loud K pop/J pop playing the whole time.. Average food. Chicken karaage was different from what I was used to. It was more like American popcorn chicken. Served on a bed of salad.. Why? Lol They didn't even go well together and just made both the chicken and salad lose its crispiness. Bland, soggy chicken and sad wilted salad. No seasoning, no dressing. Ramen was not bad, rich broth and chashu was decent. Brown sugar milk tea- pricy, not $7 quality. read more

Kimchi fries were tasty. Chicken karaage was ok. I was a little disappointed that the bibimbap wasn't in a stone bowl because I usually enjoy the the crispy rice on the bottom. Spicy tonkatsu ramen had good flavor and the pork buns were soooo good!! Portions were pretty big too. Unfortunately the ac was not working properly, so it was quite warm in the restaurant.

I ordered a Watermelon Milk Tea with Boba. DELICIOUS! I highly recommend and will definitely be back to try other flavors.

Great food. Really good food. Drink were great too! My only complaint, if there was anything to work on, would be the table needing plates. They don't have small plates for the table. I'm not a fan of that, I'd like that as a customer. I figure there's more dishwashing and supplies that goes with that, but that'd be my only complaint and it won't stop me from coming back. Very nice people and clean too. I hope they stay for a long time. read more

Small spot. We only ordered Crab Rangoon, Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen, and a Poke Bowl. It was not mind-blowing, but I loved it. Crab Rangoons were crispy and cheesy. The ramen and bowl had a good amount of flavor. The spicy was too much for us even though we asked for less spice, so the staff kindly made more non-spicy broth for us. There was something about the taste of the broth that I didn't enjoy, but I still recommend it because it was 'rich'. Can be a nice hangout spot. They have milk teas, sketchbooks at the booths, and games. read more

Came here for my daughters birthday. Everyone was very friendly even with our larger group. The food was amazing! They came to sing Happy Birthday and brought dessert for us.

SO GOOD. i've gone to so many ramen places to try and find the best ramen near me and this is one of my favorites. i got the spicy tonkatsu with chashu. beware it is VERY spicy, i ordered extra regular tonkatsu broth and added it to mine to make it less spicy and it was perfect, plus i like extra broth so it worked out. the broth was so rich and flavorful! so so so good. we also got the kimchi fries, we were both not fond of those but i think that was more personal preference. Definitely going to try the chicken karaage next time I go because they were out this time. Would highly recommend! read more

I ordered from here last week and I got the fried chicken and kimchi ramen. My son got orange chicken. Orange chicken was great. Not too sweet and a nice spice. It wasn't drowning in sauce like most other places. My son loved. The ramen..was beautiful. Smooth, nicely spiced, it had all the umami. I love kimchi and this just was really good. I loved it so much I ordered it again tonight. I've been making and tasting tamales all day. I don't want any more. So I remembered that amazing ramen I had. As soon as I took a sip, something tasted different. It didn't have the salty, sour taste. It was just bleh. I added on mushrooms and egg to really give it that richness. Nope. It was just a somewhat spicy bland broth. I stirred it up again but then I noticed there was no kimchi in it. The kimchi is what makes it. I only ordered it because I love kimchi. Also, it's one of the main ingredients? So yeah..got a partial refund. They offered to remake and send but I was hungry and I'm pretty tired. I'll give them another chance. My kid likes their food. Overall the food is good. But maybe try to remember putting the kimchi in a kimchi ramen. read more
