I am truly flabbergasted by the good reviews here. This was one of the worst experiences I have had. They brought out my food wrong. Then mocked me for not eating it correctly ( I was eating it correctly. I don't understand). And charged me extra for asking for just what I asked for. I will never come back. read more

I ordered takeout sushi on my way home and it was delicious! I tried the Godzilla roll and the Cali crunch and both were outstanding. The service was friendly and they knocked out my order 5 mins early. Definitely will be coming back here to try the ramen! read more

Food THE SHUMAI ARE BOMB. I've eaten quite a lot of shumai in my day, and I can say with confidence that these are the best I've ever had. Seriously, they were amazing. There were 4 and came with little shrimps on top and were pretty big. The sauce was good too, but the shumai were so delicious that I didn't want to change the taste by putting anything on it. Next time, I will only order 5 orders of these. I also ordered the Bulbolgi Bibimbap in the hot stone which came with DIY gochuchan sauce. Thank you for making it DIY- you get me! There were a ton of vegetables, but only a small portion of bulgolgi, def not enough. The stone was so hot all the rice on the bottom was burning to the bowl. It comes with a lot, so you won't leave hungry. Ambiance You order at the register and then sit down and they bring out your food. There aren't that many seats, around 5 tables and then seating at the window. read more

See all

I love Ramen! Since traveling to Japan and tasted the authentic ramen there I'm definitely a little picky. I must say Kameya did not disappoint at all I must say. Came in last Sunday for an early dinner with friends. We ordered the spicy chicken wings for appetizers and pork bun which was delicious, you can tell the wings were so fresh coz you can see the steam coming out when you take a bite of it. My friends ordered the Chicken Katsu ramen while I ordered the Pork Belly ramen they were all delicious and the broth taste just right and it did reminded me of the ramen place I ate in Japan called Ichiran. During this time they make sure that you're safe by providing hand sanitizers, spaced out seating, employees wore masks and masks are required prior to entry. I eat ramen all season so I'm definitely coming back read more

We've ordered in ramen from here a few times and it's great but really the dine in experience is the best because everything is so fresh. The broth is really the winner here - slightly spicy and a bit sweet. I've had the chicken katsu ramen and the pork belly and they've both been great. The fried chicken gyoza was good but not amazing. This is definitely our fav local ramen joint in Lincoln park / lake view. read more

Kameya Ramen & Sushi - Chicken katsu ramen - Ramen Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Best ramen I've ever had, and I've tried a lot of ramen. One of the gems of Chicago. I don't want the secret to get out about this place, but they deserve the business. read more

This is hands down the BEST ramen broth I've had. So rich and flavorful. It tasted like I was eating something made with love! I ordered the Chicken Katsu ramen with chicken broth and had it delivered. Honestly, delivered ramen doesn't' always hit, but this was packed nicely and tasted amazing. I can't imagine how good it would be it I went in to eat it at Kameya. I wish I could've taken a picture before I gobbled it up. Support this place!! I will be back read more

From what I remember this place is an average ramen shop. The tonkotsu Broth was watery and noodles thin. I like thick broth and thick noodles in my ramen. The Chasu was excellent, from what I remember but if two of the three main ingredients are lacking, then I cannot recommend this spot. $20 for glorified chicken broth and spaghetti? No thanks. The reason I give this place three stars instead of two is I do believe they heat up the bowls before serving which is a nice delight. Don't quote me on it though I've only been here once, since I didn't like the broth or noodles. read more

The best seafood noodle soup i've had. The owner lady is amazing. She is like a radar. Every single detail she is on top of it. She is a Velvet hammer i'd say. Music is great, too Very friendly staff. Amazing amazing food. I reccomend! read more

Love their food! Ramen is super flavorful and delicious- even for take out or delivery! Customer service is always on point as well!

Pork kimchi bao was great! Good amount of juicy meat, it is not overwhelmed by the kimchi, the veggies added a good crunch, and the bao was fluffy and wonderful. The staff was also friendly :) I will have to come back to try more from the menu and have a meal here! read more

Totally underrated ramen spot! I'm a huge ramen fan and have tried a bunch of the "bigger name" ramen spots in the city and can't believe I didn't go here sooner. I got their chicken meatball ramen for delivery and everything was well packaged and still hot when it arrived. The chicken meatballs were super tender and a unique topping that you don't see in many places. The broth was rich and flavorful which was a surprise since chicken based broths tend to be a little bland. Can't wait to go back and try their other bowls! read more

Great place on a cold fall night. They have tons of ramen choices and other small dishes. It is also byob with a nice non alcoholic drink selection as well. You can choose the level of spice for your ramen. The ramen bowls are gigantic and delicious! Honestly i felt like it was never ending with large pieces of fried chicken. The beef was also super tender and delicious. Be sure to split a bowl if you are not starving. Overall super yummy and i cant wait to come back. read more

I've been here a few times for ramen and it always hits the spot. Normally get the pork belly ramen (there's a reason why it's the house favorite!). Recently tried the chicken katsu ramen. It was definitely good, but the pork belly is still my favorite! So glad I found this place; I'm always looking forward to ramen and, so far, they haven't disappointed read more

The ramen was great, and the staff was really kind and helpful. It feels good to be in a place where you are welcomed so warmly.

I truly recommend Kameya Raman. The place is clean and cozy. Staffs were there so welcoming, and the service was a wonderful and I will go back to this place for the vegetables ramen again. read more

We ordered gluten free menu and they sent breaded chicken on top of the noodles. DO NOT ORDER, DO NOT EAT HERE, unless you have a death wish. read more

This is a new found love of mine! I'm not a big ramen fan, but this place is SO GOOD. We got the pork belly ramen and the chicken gyoza ramen. The chicken broth was the best broth I've ever had and service was so fast. 10/10 and the noodles were flavorful. The pork belly was amazing. We will be back!!!! read more

Kameya is my go-to ramen place. I usually get the veggie gyoza ramen (you can also get it without the gyoza if that's not your thing). They have a few vegetarian appetizers as well which are yum. I got delivery today and it was super quick. The noodles and the broth come separately and the packaging is really convenient for storing leftovers. You get a good size portion, I usually have some ramen left over for the next day. The staff is SUPER friendly and sweet. The place has a nice energy too, and they always have a cute backboard design out front. This place is a must visit if you find yourself in east lakeview! read more

Food was marvelous, service was alright but good enough , and the ambiance was also wonderful. 10/10 if I could but 5 stars is very fair. Get the rock and roll or the gyoza ramen trust me. read more

I've pasted this place many times, but never bothered to stop in. . . . So happy SOO happy I did. The Sushi is fresh and the Ramen is really tasty as well! Miso Soup was hot / perfect. I suggest the Chicken Katsu Ramen with Baked Chicken. It has a shocking amount of chicken within it. I had the Spicy Tuna roll and that too was extra fresh, and didn't seem as if it was "pre-made" and WAS made to order. Some items I find are a little over priced for the portion and what it is. I understand that's how business work and it's a for-profit . . but $6.99 for a house salad is a little rough. I could see if it had chicken within it, but personally I wouldn't pay $6.99 for a simple house salad. I don't recall the cost of a small side of Miso soup, and I couldn't find it on the menu I think I paid $4.00? I could be wrong. $1.50 - $3.00 as a side soup would be a fair market value based the cost around the area. Either way i'm a Fan and WILL return with friends and Family. read more

So here's my thing. I feel like this place gets slept on a lot. I would say, it's awesome sushi. Most sushi restaurants say their sushi is spicy, but it's not. Kameya on the other hand, have sushi that is spicy to the point where you have to take a second and drink some water.(which I like) Portion wise, they give you a lot of sushi for your buck. The Godzilla Roll, and Rock and Roll are my favorite. Ramen is super satisfying, especially on a cold day, again really good portions. Overall, I don't know how to convince local Lakeview people to check this place out. Give it a try!!! Support your local business. (Instead of getting takeout, sit your butt down at the restaurant, grab a warm green tea, and enjoy yourself) read more

This is my favorite ramen place in Lakeview! I get the chicken gyoza ramen bowl and it's so good. It comes with chicken dumplings and they are so good with the chicken broth. The bowl is simple but great. I hope to come back and try other things!! read more

This is one of those shaking your head and asking how does this individual has a job moment? Manager's unacceptable attitude. We just left this restaurant and we are still shaking our heads bewildered by the arrogant, righteous, young female manager. My husband and I were eating ramen. He spilled half his bowl on the table. I went to the counter and explained the spill and asked for napkins. She said one moment as she was at the register. I said I really need them now it running on his lap. She handed me 2 napkins. When I returned back to her I stated I needed lots more because it was all over the table. She threw her hand up keeping me from grabbing napkins then told me to wait. I said I couldn't wait I needed them now. I responded that it's just napkins. She came over to the table and said that it wasn't about the napkins it was about Grace and Respect. I again explained as we cleaned up the table we weren't being disrespectful...we needed to not be covered in ramen. Here's where it gets crazy. As we checked out, not a word from her until I asked was she the owner? She responded she was the manager. I said, well you just lost two loyal and supportive customers. Then the elderly owner stepped aghast at what we were saying. Again the manager repeated...it was about learning grace and respect. No apology or explanation why she is acting this way...just a smug attitude. Do yourself a favor and spend your money at a ramen shop that truly values its customers and understands we don't owe you...you need to be appreciative that we kept you in business. read more

Was really craving ramen and this place was close by. Glad we stopped in, it was very good!! Decently priced (~$12.50 for a bowl) and comes out super fast. Would definitely come back! I had the chicken ramen, which was pretty good. But my boyfriend got the pork belly which was definitely better. The broth was much more rich and you could taste the char of the pork belly. We both got medium spice, which was a pleasant amount. We also got kimchi - good portion, pretty standard kimchi. read more

I'm baffled by all the good reviews. We just got ramen from here and it was probably the worst ramen I've ever had.

A fantastic hole-in-the-wall ramen shop with a delicious variety of ramen (and they have veggie too!) I had the Kameya pork belly ramen (pic attached) and the BBQ pork bun. Both were really delicious on such a cold day - 4 degrees! There was also a sign by the door that said BYOB until they get their liquor license, so feel free to bring that beer along and enjoy in the restaurant. I would definitely come here again since the owner was as warm and welcoming as the ramen. read more

Kameya Ramen & Sushi - Kameya pork belly ramen - incredible! - Ramen Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I usually only write on yelp when I've enjoyed places, but I feel inclined to tell people to not go here. Walked in, it smelled like a sewer. Almost walked out, but thought we'd give it a shot, because we saw it had good reviews. The ramen was pretty good, but some of the pieces of meat were weird. When I got up and got some water, the smell really got to me, and I told my fiancé I wanted to leave. She agreed, and had some weird pieces of pork belly too. Just a really bad experience, we're both grossed out and hopeful we're just in our heads and won't get food poisoning like some of the others have mentioned on here. I'll update this if we do. We love furious spoon on Halsted/Belmont, and Tanaka on Diversey. I recommend going to one of those instead, much better vibe and ramen. read more

I finally found my perfect Gluten Free ramen spot!! I'm a big fan of Kameya Sushi on Webster so I had high hopes for this location and it did not disappoint. I will return again and again! Perfect meal for rainy days. read more

Definitely a gem! Their ramen is absolutely amazing! The broth was rich and flavorful. The change from broiled chicken to chicken katsu also shows they are always looking to improve. The soondubu is very authentic as well. In a neighborhood filled with japanese food, this place with it's korean touch and authentic asian flavor definitely stands out. Beats any other ramen place within a mile radius by a mile read more

Delicious!! So happy we tried this place, our favorite ramen spot hasn't opened yet... We ordered delivery and got the gyoza ramen with their regular noodles and the pork belly ramen with gluten-free noodles with medium spice. Great kick! and it didn't disappoint. We will be ordering again! read more

We love this spot! Convenient and an easy in & out. The service is quick and very friendly. We have tried numerous ramens on the menu and were very pleased. Highly recommend the pork belly ramen. read more

Picked chicken and beef ramen to go. Got home and soup broth was so rich and tasty. Beef very tender and gyoza was so good. The egg was perfect for soup that I drove home. It was wonderful to get my bag with food in it from the cook such a personal touch read more

Didnt even bread the sweet potato in my sweet potato tempura roll:( never had a sweet potato roll so soggy and disappointing in my life:(

Absolutely loved this spot! Diamond in the rough. Had the bulgogi ramen, chicken gyoza, and salmon nigiri. Then they gave us some homemade almond ice cream which was incredible! Enjoyed everything! read more

The freshest ingredients I've ever had in a ramen. Highly recommend the veggie ramen, even if you're a meat eater - can add meat. Broth doesn't have a huge flavor but getting it extra spicy added the perfect flavor and spice. read more
