Delicious! And lovely staff - they realized there was a mistake on our order and addressed it graciously. Super fun decor. Just go already!

Awesome food! I loved the truffle dumplings. My new fav!! I got the filet dish and wow the broth was so flavorful. Chairs are a bit hard to sit in just wooden stools. Although there is a booth option we didn't try. Food came out quickly and love they give you your own water so you don't run out. Service could use some improving but would def give it another try. They also have seafood allergy free option. read more

Gyuro Ramen - Premium dish - Ramen Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Solid wdstloop ramen spot. The ambiance of the place is amazon and super cute. The service was very friendly and attentive, and the food looked very aesthetic and was decently flavorful. I wouldnt say it's the best ramen Id had, but the environment raises the rating! Also, recommend getting the dog bowl (rice bowl) for the giant bone haha read more

Really good ramen!!!! The past year or so I've been opening up to ramen and all its different styles. Gyuro is definitely on my recommended list now. Walked in and was greeted immediately. Staff is very friendly and helpful. I tried the signature gyukotso ramen (C. Prime) I added cabbage. The broth was very flavorful. The meat was tender. All ingredients tasted very fresh. Also, ordered the shoyu ramen prime, this was packed with fresh ingredients as well. I Did prefer the creamy broth(gyukotsu) over the clear broth(shoyu) but I'd definitely recommend both. Now to what really blew my mind was the dog rice.. I personally call it a DOG BOWL. Haha. And wow. This rice bowl came packed. A huge piece of beef short rib on the bone, beef chashu and beef chunks. Accompanied by other ingredients. And to my garlic lovers like me.... The amount of toasted garlic in this dish was amazing. I eat roasted garlic like apples lol. Big plus for me. The dog bowl comes with a creamy clear mushroom broth which was tasty I only added a little to the bowl. For an appetizer we got the truffle wagyu wonton. I'd recommend ordering it and adding it to your ramen as an extra. Ordered an apple iced tea I believe which I was not a fan of but if you like a green jolly rancher you'll love that tea. The mango dessert ice cream was amazing as well. It comes in a container almost looking like a toy you'd get out of a machine. It's winter in Chicago so of course we had big puffy jackets on and the staff will give you a basket to place your jacket in which sits by your table. read more

(Oct 2022) I heard we have a wagyu ramen place in town! I wanted to check it out as I've mostly only had Japanese ramen with pork (char siu). Checking out a new location in West Town, I loved the ambiance when I walked in. Here's what I got: -tuna poke ($10.95) served with seaweed salad & crispy chips: great appetizer to get my appetite ready for ramen -domestic wagyu ($17.95) medium rare, served wtihspicy garlic citrus sauce: salad and Wagyu was a good balance -signature gyukotsu premium ($29.95) medium rare domestic wagyu, beef tongue, chashu and chunks, truffle wagyu wontons, menma, tamago, nori, scallions: this is for wagyu lovers. Ramen & wagyu? Sign me up! So many different kinds of wagyu -spicy garlic miso crispy soft shell crab and beef chashu ($26.95) corn wakame, fish cake, nori, tamago, scallions: this is my favorite ramen of all time. I thought I'd like wagyu ramen but the flavor of spicy garlic miso, and soft shell crab hit the spot. -yuzu virgin mojito ($6.95) -ginger lemonade sparkler ($6.95) read more

Kitchen hits far above its weightclass. Some exceptional chicken nuggets and ramen ramen ramen. Decor is engaging. Worth a trip.

The vibes in Gyuro were so fun and nice. It kinda felt like we were in Japan with the decor and such around the restaurant. The dumplings were good, we got the Wagyu dumplings and the steamed pork dumplings with chili sauce and if I rate to choose one, I think I would choose the normal steamed dumplings! They were delicious and I loved the spice. The ramen was good but just a tad bland for me. No crazy flavors came through but it was still good! Very smooth broth, yummy egg and the noodles were perfect. I got the Misuji for meat and it was tender and yummy. The servers were nice and friendly. Helpful with the menu. Overall, I'd definitely give this place a try if you were thinking about it!! read more

Gyuro Ramen, my beloved. Every ramen dish I've ever ordered from there has been so amazing. I won't lie, I haven't been crazy about their appetizers and I've tried many of them, but their beef bone broth is so perfectly creamy and delicious. If I could afford to, I'd eat there for every lunch break. It's my favorite ramen spot ever (even better than High-Five in my opinion). read more

We've been seeing posts about this restaurant all over Instagram & TikTok and decided to give it a go. When you first walk in they have a QR to be added to the waitlist so don't miss that. The line moved pretty quick which was great since we were starving. We ordered two appetizers and our entrees. The steamed pork gyoza was soft, spicy, and flavorful. The chicken was also great! crispy on the outside and so soft and moist on the inside. I got the seasonal curry and my partner got the garlic ramen. I wasn't blown away by my dish but i did enjoy the wagyu it was amazing, so soft and yummy. He enjoyed his garlic ramen, he said it tasted authentic and very flavorful. I am excited to come back to try another dish. The staff were friendly and attentive. Oh and BYOB! read more

The inside of this place is cool looking. The ramen itself was super disappointing. We both left hungry. I got the spicy garlic miso vegetarian option with tofu. My boyfriend got the signature beef chashu. Usually after eating ramen I'm pretty full, but I left still hungry. For the price of the ramen I would expected more. The tofu in my ramen was sponge like. It was not good. The broth itself had good flavor though. Although the ramen didn't have a lot of broth in it. Overall wasn't a fan. Probably won't come back. read more

Came in on a weekday for lunch and the place was empty, so we were seated right away and fast service. The interior decor is very Japan alleyway like and clean. I was lucky enough to find a parking right out front. It's metered parking which was $4+ and hour. We started off with the soft shell crab bun. It was made fresh as the soft shell crab was piping hot when bitten into. It was perfectly crispy, the bun got soggy pretty quick from the crab juice. We also ordered 4 different ramen to try. The meat (Wagyu, filet and duck) was so tender... melt in your mouth. The signature Gyukotsu with Wagyu came with one Wagyu Truffle Wonton, which was sooo good that made me want to order an order of. Expect to pay $16-18 for a bowl of ramen, which is decently priced. Since it was my mom's birthday, we were gifted 2 dessert (Tiramisu and Coppa Chocolate). The Tiramisu was good, but the Coppa Chocolate was too chocolate-y and sweet. We really appreciated the generosity though. Definitely a must try place! read more

I'm gonna start by saying Best, Ramen, I've had in Chicago!!! If you wanna have an amazing time and an extraordinary meal, you have to come to Gyuro Ramen located by the Fulton Market. Let me tell you, you will be impress by everything!!! everywhere you look is eye candy for the soul. You will use all your five senses, let's begin with the first thing you see from the outside is the colorful and bright neon signs. Once you walk into the place it will transport you instantly to Japan. It's decorated to look like you are there. We were greeted by the friendly staff and they told us that we had to wait but the wait was not long, they give you the option to check in. Once we sat they brought us the menu and let me tell you, there's plenty to pick but being my first time I ordered the SHOYU, is a clear beef bone broth and it features medium rare filet mignon, onsen tamago, menma, red onion, nori, scallions and a single egg. Once it arrived and was able to see this creation I was flabbergasted by the smell and the way it was presented. The beef broth was wonderful and rich of flavor. Noodles have good bite. All the ingredients were great, and they pair perfect with each other. Tt was like a prefect dance. I would definitely recommend this place for any occasions if you have an appetite and looking for something fun to try. I'll be coming back for more. Thank you! read more

Decided to celebrate my mom's b-day here for lunch since my mom wants to eat ramen. It was a little hard to find parking here, even on a weekday. Once we entered the restaurant, it had a unique Japan feel. I love the decor that they had there. The place had many tables and booths, so it was a decent size restaurant. We went here to try the ramen since the pics look very enticing, and we wanted to try the steam bun w/ crispy soft shell crab. The soft shell crab was hot and juicing when we took a bite of it. The sauce and juice were dripping out. It was so flavorful! We all ordered different ramen to try them all out. We ordered their signature gyukotsu with wagyu misuji, kami shio, prime shoyu, and spicy garlic miso with wagyu misuji. They were all delicious. The meat was very soft, and the soup was very flavorful. I had the spicy garlic miso, and it had a kick to it. Anyone who loves spicy food should order this one. If you need more spiciness, they do have extra spice you can add to your bowl, but for me, it was perfect. We were all full when we left. Since it was my mom's b-day, the waiter was kind enough to give us 2 desserts. We got the tiramisu and the coppa chocolate. The tiramisu was delicious! The coppa chocolate had the hazelnut layer in the middle (really crunchy), and it really reminded me of the ferrero chocolate that I love. read more

If you need to get away from the bustling streets of Chicago, you can jump in here and find yourself in the bustling streets of Japan instead. If you are a ramen aficionado, then either you were already here or you better add it to your list. The menu touts a variety of rich, creamy broth based ramen with lots of ways to incorporate Wagyu into your meal. The thin and silky noodles are slurp worthy but the ajitsuke egg may be the best I have ever had! The yolk still a viscous runny and the egg white salty from the marinade. (In case that confused you...it's all a good thing!) The menu has a good variety of appetizers, ramen, and rice bowls so each visit could be a new experience (or the same if that's what you want...). One tip - the tables have stools and benches. If you parked nearby and can leave your coat in the car, I'd recommend it. It will just make eating there more comfortable. Otherwise, balancing your coat on your lap as you eat can strengthen your core as well. read more

I've never had beef ramen before and really enjoyed trying it for the first time! Typically you see tonkatsu ramen with pork chasiu so I was surprised beef was the only red meat on the menu. Everything was super tasty, I got the classic beef ramen and my partner got the dog bowl. I thought the dog bowl was absolutely delicious and had a very generous amount of meat! Also cool that this place is BYOB. read more

First time here and got the gyokutso ramen prime! Very delicious beef broth with medium rare filet mignon.

Gyuro Ramen is a casual group-friendly Japanese restaurant with ramen and donburi options for everyone. The setting mimics an outdoor street food venue. Overall the open kitchen concept is great, but the whining white noise in the background from the pressure cooker can get annoying. We ordered the fried oysters, dog rice and curry ramen. Overall the food portions is generation and the beef are delicious! I like that this ramen house offers high quality beef in addition to the classic cha siu. Get the curry ramen winter special if you check them out this season! read more

Amazing experience at Gyuro Ramen. Had a server who was respectful and held good knowledge of the menu. Was helpful in recommending certain dishes. The Gyukotsu Premium was a 9.5/10 for me. Thoroughly enjoyed the volume of protein options in the bowl combined with the rich broth. The Shrimp Gyoza (boiled) was a 10/10. Was surprised how delicious the gyozas were! Highly recommend this dish. Ambiance was amazing with street style interior design to really capture the entire experience. read more

Everyone loved their dishes! Gyuro Ramen is a staple for great ramen and good vibes. read more

I was excited to try out this new ramen spot in West Loop. Walking in, you are transported to some sort of Japanese alleyway with bright neon signs and faces of Asian pop stars everywhere. The seating is adorable but not the most comfortable as the wooden stools don't have any back support. As far as food goes, my friend and I shared the spicy bamboo salad and fried vegetable dumplings. The spicy bamboo salad was not very special, as you can get similar quality from jars at the Asian market. The vegetable dumplings also were not memorable. I got the Signature Gyukotsu with Wagyu Misuji. The broth was extremely salty and the noodles to toppings/meat ratio was a bit too high for my liking. I think there are better ramen places in the West Loop, but it's cute for an overall dining experience. read more

I was so impressed with Gyuro Ramen! If you are a fan of ramen or Japanese food, I highly recommend a visit. My friend who is a lover of ramen said it was one of the best bowls she's ever had! We visited for lunch during the weekend and we were seated immediately. The space isn't huge, but it can seat a good number of people. I was instantly drawn in by the Japanese style decor and art (loved the Godzilla!) and I appreciated the colorful menu. To start, I got a non-alcoholic yuzu mojito to drink and the hiyattako (cold spicy tofu) while my friend got the takoyaki. My starter was great and not too spicy at all, but the drink stole the show - it was fantastic! Really enjoyed it and am still thinking about it Then for the main course I went with the Prime Gyukotsu (with filet mignon) while my friend went for the Waygu Misuji Gyukotsu. The biggest difference between our ramens was how fatty the meat was I would say. I don't like eating fat very much so I was grateful at how tender my meat was without being overly fatty. Hers was much fattier and she was happy with her decision! Overall the ramen was amazing - chewy noodles, flavorful umami salty broth, and the most perfect egg. Like I mentioned above, one of the best bowls of ramen hands down! Next time I'd love to try the many other items they have on the menu. All in all, highly recommend read more

Ordered takeout last night as the summer weather finally started to cool off and the rain was calling for a hot and comforting bowl of ramen. The restaurant itself looks cute from the outside and the inside, makes you feel like you're in Japan and not in the West Loop. I ordered the Signature Gyukotsu B (wagyu) and a side of the #1 hell sauce. The order was packaged well with the broth separate from the rest of the ingredients. I really enjoyed the beef broth flavor as compared to the other ramen dishes I've tried. I will say you can taste the shellfish, I mostly tasted it in the Menma, and didn't love that. Next time I'll order without shellfish. Toppings were tasty but 1/2 the wagyu was really fatty and I ended up picking around it, which was disappointing. I'll be back to dine in and check out some of the other menu offerings! read more

I don't think you can ever really have enough ramen shops and Japanese restaurants. This is why I'm so excited about Gyuro Ramen. However, it's not just that is any new ramen shops, it has some elements that set it apart. For example it offers other Japanese favorites like beef and rice bowls. Also, the interior is so cool. The murals on the walls and signage are meant to make you feel like you are in a Shōtengai in Japan. Aside for the cool nature of the place, the food is very good. I got a bowl of ramen, karaage (Japanese Fried chicken), tun poke with wontons and gyu don. Since this restaurant is from the people at Stings Ramen, you know the food will be good. I liked everything, but my favorite appetizer was the karaage and my favorite entree was the gyu don. I appreciated that they more entrees that just ramen, that's why I ordered the gyu don. It's hard to find Japanese food beyond ramen and sushi sometimes. Also, the gyu done was delicious. Gyuro Ramen is a welcome addition to the West Loop and Chicago's ramen restaurant scene. It's also a must visit. read more

This place was super delicious! The ramen was very savory and filling. I chose option B for the meat which is the wagyu option. It is basically like a brisket. This apparently is there most popular option as I meant to choose A (chashu) first, but they were out. The meat was so tender! I also got a couple apps. The tofu was so so delicious. I'm a sucker for chilled tofu dishes so I found myself loving it. The menma is good too but it taste pretty much like the spicy bamboo shoots you can get an any Asian grocery store so I probably would opt for something else next time. Very spacious inside! Bring a jacket though read more

Nothing at Fulton market interested us so we walked from Fulton Market to here. It was about a 10-15 minutes walk, not bad at all. This place has a really cool interior. The chair may not be as comfortable but it looks cool, that's how I like it too (not sarcastic). We came to a Ramen place but ordered a rich dish and did not disappoint. We started our meal off with Chicken Karaage. The dish came super fast. The chicken was crispy on the outside and super tender on the inside. The dish has a great portion for an appetizer. Good with or without spicy mayo. Our entrée was dog rice, an interesting name but let me give you a breakdown. The dog rice is really big, big enough to share it with 2 people, 3 people if you don't eat a lot. The beef short ribs were huge. Our ribs were juicy and had great flavor. It fell off from the bone. Beef Chachu was perfectly cooked, it almost melted in my mouth. Beef chunk was flavorful and tender as well. Bamboo shoes and wood ear mushroom was a nice side dish, it gives a good break from the overall richness of flavor. What I really like about this dish is the garlic, it really compliments the beef well. Overall, really happy with our meal. We will be back to try their ramens next time! read more

Gyuro Ramen - Dog rice & Chicken karage - Ramen Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

been here twice now and i am a huge fan! probably my favorite ramen place but i don't get the ramen haha. the first time - i ordered the cat rice, which has spicy tuna. sooo good. the rice is warm, the tuna is tasty - only complaint is there isn't enough tuna compared to the huge bed of rice! i also will opt out of the red ginger next time because i'm not a fan of that. the second time - i ordered the gyu don and it is truly the best gyu don i've had. the meat is tender. it's well marinated. and it has lots of flavor. i ordered this without the red ginger this time :). it also comes with an egg that you mix into the rice and it is chef's kiss. both dishes came with a side of soup which complements really well. my husband got the dog rice twice because it's the best bang for your buck. so much meat for only $20! some of the meats i tried were a little dry but overall very good. we also tried the chicken karaage and it is boooomb. would recommend! AND great service and BYOB - can't wait to be back for that gyu don! read more

Gyuoru Ramen in Chicago is a must-visit gem for ramen lovers. What sets them apart is their meticulous ramen structure, ensuring every bite is a perfect blend of flavors. Don't miss out on this culinary delight in the Windy City. We ordered out but the service was excellent and the order arrived quickly. Normally I wouldn't judge a place by their takeout but this place was awesome even without being fresh Signature Gyukotsu Ramen- 4.5/5, really is a standout, boasting a rich broth, perfectly cooked noodles, and tender beef slices. Spicy Garlic Miso Ramen- 4.5/5, full of bold flavors and a fiery kick. Delicious and different from the gyukotsu to provide a change of pace Truly would give this place 4.5/5 but no half stars read more

This place was packed on a Sunday evening! Even though it was busy, it was easy to get a table for two right away. The service was quick given how busy they were.
