Sad to say, Kitakata Ramen didn't blow us away. It's a nice little restaurant, clean and…read morecomfortable, and super busy. The staff were very helpful. Unfortunately the food was just so-so. The rich miso ramen was not as rich as we would have liked. The tonkotsu broth was flavorful, but the ajitama and chashu were not so much. The signature noodles are good as advertised, chewy and holding the broth well. We did like the gyoza, but did not like the octopus balls. Overall, it was fine, but for the price we expected a more consistent level of quality. Another day we might have had better luck, but since we're not out this way very often, it may be a while before we find out.

All three were pricey... $16.95, $17.95, $17.95, but well worth it. The broths were flavorful and each one of us slurped down to the last drop. We ended with mochi, and it was prepared like you expect, soft and doughy on the outside, and cold and frozen ice cream on the inside. Too many places have melted mochis by the time you crack them. Service was kind and prompt. We'll be back.

We came by to visit after visiting a nearby playroom cafe. Located in a small strip plaza, with…read moreplenty of parking. When we walked in we were quickly seated and the staff was great and made great recommendations. We tried the bang bang shrimp and the volcano tamago. The bang bang shrimp was fried and covered in the sauces. It was good but not the type of bang bang shrimp I'm used to. The volcano tamago were half of a hard boiled egg each and were full of flavor, soft and crunch at the same time. Loved those! On to the ramen, I got the garlic ramen and it was good! I shared with my little so I had the chili oil on the side and he loved it and ate a whole small bowls worth. I added the chili after and some pork katsu which were delicious. To drink we tried the kumquat lemon with the aloe jelly. It was refreshing for a hot summer day. Overall we had a great experience and look forward to coming back when we're in the area.

Inside space is nicely laid out - I liked chill vibe of the restaurant. However, they have interesting set up for order - you have to use kiosk to place the order and I didn't see much of change options for entrees like ramen change requests. The food that I got was very delicious- enjoyed it and portions were generous. I felt it would have been even more nice to have some sake options to go with this food.

We walked in the front door. We couldn't tell. We were at Chicago Ramen until we looked at the…read moremenu. They don't have any signage inside the place telling you where you're at. Two people walked in after us looking for the restaurant next-door. we have never been here before and received a buy one get one free coupon from the toast app. They said that the buy one get one free is only good on takeout and delivery. The lady was nice enough to let us use it for dine in since we don't ever do pick up or delivery. We were surprised at the restaurant was not crowded since it was a Friday night at dinner time. When we walked in the restaurant, we were the only people there. A few minutes later a party of Two walked in for Diane and then there was a guy that came in all by himself to pick up an order. We started off with a Japanese calamari appetizer. It was not seasoned at all just a little bit of salt. It really could use some other flavors. They gave us plain mayonnaise to dip it in, it was OK, but I was hoping that there would've been a nice specialty sauce.. My husband and I both had the chicken Ramen. It was just average. I don't think I would eat that again if I came here. It shocked me to see Sherri tomatoes floating in the soup. The broth had no flavor. It really needs some spices when they're cooking it. The table has Sriracha, fresh garlic, and red pepper flakes that you can add to your food which I did. There are a lot of menu options, so we might be back to try something else. We were unhappy that the appetizer came out a minute before our soup came to the table.

Solid ramen spot!…read more While we were shopping at IKEA we had the sudden urge for some ramen, and not knowing the area we looked up what was close and landed on this place. We walked in and they were incredibly busy, the server was attentive and gave us a very minimal ETA which we simply waited by the door. We were sat within time and they took care of us immediately! The servers simply seemed to round robin the tables and kept it very efficient. We both ordered different items and both incredibly satisfied. The ramen itself was very tasty and perfectly cooked! Keep in mind some items on the side like green onions would surely be good for two people so don't feel the need to buy multiple. Highly recommend this spot and will certainly return!

From the moment I walked in, the inviting aroma of simmering broth set the stage for a fantastic meal. I opted for the Gyu Don and a Tonkatsu Ramen and was thoroughly impressed. The broth was rich, deeply flavorful, and clearly simmered for hours to perfection - not too heavy, but incredibly satisfying. The noodles had a wonderful chewiness, cooked just right, and the toppings were fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The chashu pork was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the soft-boiled egg had that perfect jammy yolk. Beyond the delicious food, the service was prompt and friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy and authentic, making it a great spot for either a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner. If you're craving authentic, soul-warming ramen, this place is an absolute must-try. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

The menu is much less, the food portions are less, and the container the food comes in is plastic and made for to go orders even though we dined in. The service was also not very friendly and when our waitress brought our food, she didn't even smile or say anything. She just plopped down the food and walked off. This used to be my favorite restaurant but I don't think I'm coming back.

When you go inside, they have a sufficient amount of tables to sit at, but it wasn't very busy on a Saturday night. You order at the register and he brings it out to you. You'll have to be patient, they don't have a lot of staff. We ordered tako karaage (fried octopus), croquettes, Taiwan style tonkotsu ramen with 2 pieces of chashu, and the deluxe bento with butashoga (ginger pork). I had a bite of the pork and it was delicious. Ginger was not overpowering. Tender meat. Prices were very affordable and cheap. Service was great and he brought out our food hot and freshly made. I would definitely come back and try other items. -tako karaage 5 - it had a nice little chew and was not overly fried. Great taste. -croquettes 5 - I loved these. When you bite into them, they're soft. Flavorful, savory filling inside. I should have gotten more of these. -Taiwan style tonkotsu ramen 5 - noodles were chewy. Bountiful amount of ground pork. The two chashu pieces were tender and easy to break apart. Broth was not heavy, it was just right.

Chicken was extremely tasteless. And the ramen soup was unlike any other ramen I've ever had. I know it's supposed to be "unique" here; adding an American-style to the dish.

We normally go to Ramen Misoya or Chicago Ramen, both great options with vegan and "halal" options…read more I saw this on some Chicago Halal Foodies reel and decided want in. I got take out and everything was well packaged and remained hot after it got to it's final destination about 1h away. My partner is vegan and enjoyed the vegan option. It wasn't anything fancy however most places slap vegan after taking things out and you pay the same price. This place more or less built the ramen with vegans in mind and so the ebb and flow of the ingredients worked out to be a delicious ramen dish. I had the spicy halal ramen, it was also delicious. We also got two halal chicken ramens which, you guessed it, was delicious. The broth wasn't as thick as ramen misoya or as light as chicago ramen. It was in between but actually really good and not as salty. We also got the spring rolls, sesame balls, and agedashu tofu which tasted well. The spring rolls and tofu weren't as crispy but it was a long trip so not on them. I could've sped, but I was getting great mileage. They still tasted great. Now this place also has Chinese dishes which makes it a great option when in the mood for various Asian cuisine and going to one shop. I forget the name of another joint in Chicago on the west side that does the same but it has all the things and it's great but that's an even further. Regardless everything we had was enjoyable and the halal chicken tasted significantly better than Ramen Misoya. It was seasoned very well. At Ramen Misoya, it's not "zabiha" but it's considered halal. I'll try to explain it as best and fast as I can. In Islam halal/haram means permissible/impermissible. Halal in terms of food mainly applies to fauna (i.e. animals, fish, insects, etc). For example corn, pineapple, bread, strawberries are exempt and are thus always halal. Zabiha is the term which means the animal was sacrificed, while being thankful for it, and a process was followed to ensure minimal pain and suffering and it was cleaned, prepped, etc properly. Basically to be thankful for what you have since you're benefiting from something living / cognizant and not just being flippant because it's livestock. Now for some animals in order for them to be edible, it has to be permissible (i.e. halal), as such it has to be Zabiha. However there are schools of thought where so long as the food you are about to receive and or consume isn't haram (i.e. pork) and it was given with pure intention, you can say "Bismillah" and enjoy your dish. Zabiha and halal are often conflated but I hope this explains why.
