Spicy chicken ramen was delicious and so was the basil beef! Would come here again. Although they were busy we got seated right away. Decent service for how busy they were. read more

When looking for a quick dinner option we came across Ramen Time on Yelp and decided to give it a try. Ramen Time isn't a restaurant you would see from the street. It is sharing space with Jimmy Thai and the signage outside is for Jimmy Thai. When we arrived we were quickly seated and given two menus. One for Jimmy Thai and one for Ramen Time. We were also given one plastic bottle of water per a person. The ramen menu allows you to choose a broth, protein and add-ons. The bowl comes with a molten egg and vegetables that usually come with ramen. I got the skinny option which was half the portion of noodles and additional vegetables in addition to a protein and molten egg. The ramen was good. The egg was a bit overcooked and one of the vegetables was thick chunks of green pepper which was good but different. The price was reasonable. If you are in the area and enjoy ramen give it a try. read more

This restaurant is quite a variety and interesting foods. It's a taste challenge. I recommend everyone try it once.

Absolutely delicious! There is quite a few things to select from. I took my daughter and we had a mini early dinner. We were sat as soon as we walked in. Had waters ready for us. (They used bottle water which is awesome) The owner came by and asked how everything was which is great! Many places don't do that! We chose the chicken ramen. One spicy one not. We got Chicken dumplings and seaweed salad! It was amazing. read more

The Ramen soup is amazing! My husband and I both shared the karrage chicken appetizer. The meat was soft and easy to chew and very tasty, you also get a nice portion size perfect for 2-4 people to share. They gave us a bottled water as soon as we were seated. There is an air cleaning machine in the center of the dining room and I have not seen this at any other restaurant, this is a bonus reason to dine here. We both ordered the same, Ramen Tonkotsu (pork broth) and pork Chashu meat. I ordered mine spicy and my husband wanted it mild. We were both satisfied with the level of spice and the flavor of the broth! If your in the area I recommend you stop by and give the ramen a try! We have been eating a lot of ramen lately and this is easily in our top five! We will be back! There is a Thai menu and a ramen menu, you can also use a QR code and order from your phone for dine in or take out. read more

Came in to check out the place and to look at the menu. Jimmy (who I read about on here) was at the front and greeted me. I wasn't sure what to get and he provided me with lots of suggestions. I can never decide what to eat and was bouncing between thai or ramen. As I was waffling, Jimmy was saying farewell to what are likely loyal customers and it's clear he's a neighborhood fave! (I was honestly stunned by how many people he was genuinely talking to!) Jimmy could tell I was struggling and asked me if I wanted to sample the ramen. Whaaa...?! Hell yeah! I took him up on the offer and he brought out this goodness in a bowl. (See photo. This is a full on mini serving in my book...not a sample!) I was sold and now I'm waiting for my full order of this ramen with char siu to go back to my hotel and enjoy it! Btw, they trained on making the ramen at a ramen institute in Torrance, CA. That happens to be a few cities from where I live and I know there's a lot of good Japanese food in the area (after all, Toyota used to be HQ'd there and Honda is still there.) I'm glad I stopped in to meet Jimmy, his wife and the kind staff. If you're a local, you likely know the place. If you're visiting (like me), stop in. Jimmy will make you feel at home! read more

The food was good and the kids enjoyed the restaurant. The ramen was good but not great. I'm sure we will be back and I'll try some other items. The fried rice was really good. We also got mango sticky rice which was delicious, but such a tiny portion of sticky rice for 9$. read more

Love the ramen at Ramen Time inside Jimmy Thai. From the warm welcome you receive from Jimmy to the hot ramen, you will leave happy and full. I love tonkatsu and their broth does not disappoint. Full of flavor, it bathes your choice of protein in perfect harmony. I like that they don't put all the various element that are usually included with ramen, you can choose ones you actually like and bring the price down if you want. Fast and friendly service makes this p,ace a winner. They don't balk at my request for hot pepper sauce/paste so I can control the heat. My neighborhood go to on a cold day for hot soup. read more

I went here for lunch and ordered curbside. I had the skinny Ramen with chicken broth and chashu beef slices. Ordering on the website from my phone was pretty easy. Nice to see they integrate with Google and other providers to not have to create a new password. The place is not easy to find mainly because the restaurant goes by another name Jimmi Thai. Maps places it on the wrong side of the DMV. There are no spots for curbside which just increases the confusion. Not sure why they ask for make and model of car when I received no text about it being ready even 5 minutes after the time they gave me (30 minutes lead time). How exactly were they going to find me? I ended up going inside and it was already bagged. The portion size is on the small side. I enjoyed the vegetables and the beef was tasty. I appreciated how they kept separate the broth from the food when packaging it to go. Would I go again? Yes, if a friend wanted to go. Otherwise, the hassle is not worth it from where I live (15 minute drive each way). read more

We love the ramen here. It is consistent and tasty. The owners and staff are great- super friendly and always thank us for supporting a small business. We usually order take out but we dined in a few weeks ago and had a very pleasant experience for a casual rainy weekday lunch. read more

In my head, this feels like it will be a lengthy review. As a courtesy to those with a short attention span, I will start with a quick summary: Food: 4 stars Atmosphere: 3 stars Service: 5 stars Overall: 4 stars On to my review: I'm still relatively new to the area, and frequently utilize the search engine on Yelp! to find lunch options. Two different restaurants have been on my radar: Ramen Time and Jimmy Thai. Today, I discovered they have the same ownership, and occupy the same space. When you walk in, you can sit at a table, or the counter/bar. I chose the counter. They give you two menus - one for Ramen Time, and one for Jimmy Thai. I'm not sure why they don't simplify things and give you one menu, but it is the owner's prerogative and won't effect my rating. At lunch time, after you are seated, and decide what you want - you walk up to the cash register to order, they give you a number, and bring you your food. I ordered the Tonkostu Ramen with Chicken Karaage. It was excellent! I never think of Ramen as very hearty, but it's been a couple of hours since I finished lunch, and I'm still full (and all I had for breakfast was one banana). One word of caution: When you order at the register, there is a tip jar. Naturally, I threw my tip in there. Then, after my meal I thought: "uh oh, the wait staff probably didn't see me throw a tip in the jar. I hope they don't think I'm stiffing them." Afterward, it occurred to me, perhaps the tip jar is intended more for cary-out. In the future I will leave my tip at the table. This will obviously not impact my rating. I really enjoyed the food, service, and atmosphere here. I will definitely definitely add this to my list of local lunch options. Ramen on my friends, Ramen on... read more

Ramen Time - Tonkostu Ramen with Chicken Kaarage is very tasty. - Ramen Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

We were at Macy's until around 8pm tonight. When we left we were both hungry so we looked for something hot to warm us up because it was chilly out. We found "Ramen Time" on Yelp a little over a mile from Northbrook Court (sounded good 4 1/2 stars on 80 something reviews). The only problem is where the hell is it? As usual I mapped it and we arrived & drove around the parking lot 2X's driving slowly trying to locate "RAMEN TIME". We were unable to find it so I remapped the location thinking perhaps we had the wrong location. I ended back up on Lake Cook Road only to be redirected back to the same strip mall. Once again we drove around looking for "RAMEN TIME". Nada? I called the number and they told me it was by The Dunkin Donuts as you entered the lot so we went back to Dunkin Donuts & circled around the building. Once again NADA? WTF? I called once again and found out the name of the restaurant on the storefront is "JIMMY THAI". After going in I questioned them on the discrepancy as it's very confusing looking for "RAMEN TIME" W/a "JIMMY THAI" sign he told me they combined the spaces. After going in they had 2 menus on 2 different walls, 1 for "RAMEN TIME" & 1 for "JIMMY THAI". When all was said and done we were finally able to order ramen the ramen we were craving it was pretty tasty. I got the miso based broth w/shrimp tempura on the side. The shrimp tempura was good, but a bit odd in the respect that it wasn't light, crispy & fluffy like tempura you get at a good Japanese restaurant. The tempura reminded me very much of the pre packaged pieces of shrimp tempura that I pick up at Assi (Korean market). Lately I have had a craving for hot soups w/noodles either Ramen or Pho (probably the colder weather). Ramen Time was pretty tasty but kind of a small portions by comparison to other ramen restaurants I have been to recently. If I am in the area again I would probably go back and try the Thai food next time. I would give them a 3 - 3 1/2 star rating. The food was good, but I have had better recently. read more

I decided to give Ramen Time a try this week when I was graving some delicious ramen! This restaurant did not disappoint. I used their online ordering system to pick up my meal curbside and the whole process was a breeze. Ordering online is really easy with them. You just need to pick your broth, protein, and veggies, and they prep it for you beautifully! I also really like that they kept the broth, protein, and noodles/veggies separate so your food doesn't get soggy. I found I actually had a LOT of broth left over, so if you want to make some noodles and veggies later on to add to the extra broth, you can definitely do it. Really happy I tried them out! read more

Ramen Time - Ramen Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

Great people, awesome service, the food was super fast and was delicious! I will for sure be going back.

Literally can't say enough good things about the food and the customer service here! The food was absolutely delicious. My family has heard me rave about this ramen for weeks now. The broth had great flavor and all the ingredients in the bowl were cooked perfectly. I got the extra shrimp tempura on the side and look at the size of the shrimp! The portions were just right! Ramen time is in the same restaurant as Jimmy Thai. Several different servers came around to ask how everything was and if there's anything else we needed. Each server provided exceptional customer service and just made for a great first experience here. So glad ramen time and Jimmy Thai is so close to us and we definitely will be back for more ramen but also to try the Thai food here. They have a big menu with lots of variety! See you soon ramen time and Jimmy Thai! read more

Just a year ago, premium ramen was probably one of the last things I'd expect to find in this area of Deerfield that caters mainly to local businesspersons and travelers. Fortunately, Jimmy saw the need to fill in a gap here (for those who can't travel to Glenview, Northbrook, Arlington Heights, etc. where this is more common) and has done a commendable job with his offerings. I tried a few items here, but this was enough to solidify a positive impression of the restaurant. The edamame was prepared nicely and steamed just about right. Slightly salty, but was pleasant as an appetizer. The shrimp tempura was super crispy with a nice meaty bit of shrimp inside. As for the ramen, the tonkotsu broth was thick and aromatic, with an instant sense of umami -- without being too salty. This was tempered nicely with bok choy, cabbage, and scallions. The molten egg was a nice touch visually and in adding some texture and the chashu was very nice and tender. Noodles were nice and chewy to match everything perfectly. Overall, very nice offering in this area of Deerfield and food is executed well. read more

A wonderful experience! Heartwarming to see the owner Jimmy and his staff are so friendly to every customer and chatted with their local customers & friends. We ordered sweet chili chicken wings green curry and khan soy coconut noodles. Dishes are exceptionally delicious and authentic. We were sat quickly and our order was taken and food came out fast. The food here was very good and the prices are very reasonable, and the staff are some of the nicest people! Jimmy, himself, is there a fair amount, and he is always the friendliest guy! The must order is the pad see ew which is always my favorite Thai dish, but theirs is the best I have ever had! This place have not been disappointed ever since! Will go back again and again. read more

In the middle of dinner last night, I asked my husband if we could come back to Ramen Time. "We haven't even finished eating yet!" he said. "I know, but I want you to promise me we'll come back." We floated Ramen Time as a dinner idea a few times but it was often too late or we weren't quite in the mood. Past Stacy, you were a fool. The staff are incredibly friendly, including the owner Jimmy who stopped by the table a few times throughout our meal. He answered my questions about my food allergy and assured me that I would be able to enjoy dinner without fear of getting ill later. I had the tonkatsu broth with mixed vegetables. The vegetable blend is hearty - green peppers, green beans, broccoli, and carrots - in addition to the vegetables that already come in the ramen. The broth was rich and flavorful and there were plenty of tasty noodles. The molten egg was cooked perfectly. Staff were attentive throughout the meal, checking to see if we were enjoying our ramen and refilling our water. Before we left, we were offered complimentary tea, which we declined because we had somewhere to be, but it would have been nice to stay just a little longer. We'll definitely be back. Maybe for lunch today. read more

The more I eat at Ramen Time the more I like it. The ramen has really grown on me. The broth is rich and flavorful, just like it should. The Habenero paste is wonderful and adds a taste but spicy flavor to the ramen. This is not the one dimensional ramen broth that some places in the area have. The broth is rich in flavor like it should and the flavor shows that it's been simmering for a long time. The veggies, broth and pork chashu all compliment each other to create a delicious bowl of ramen. The service is second to none, the owner and staff will always make you feel welcome. I would still prefer some pork belly but the pork tenderloin is ok too. I recommend adding the buttered corn to your ramen, it's great! read more

Growing up most of my life in Japan, I am very picky with ramen. I'm really happy I found a place locally that I would love to come back to! I had the chicken karaage as an appetizer, and tonkotsu ramen with Chashu pork for my main dish. The karaage wasn't as flavorful as I wanted it to be, but I think it was still great since it was paired with spicy mayo to dip in. The tonkotsu ramen was great! I love how they cooked the chashu, where it was very tender and easy to chew on. The noodles are cooked perfectly, and there's a good amount of vegetables in it. Just a couple of things I wish they had; I wish they had a Miso option, since Miso ramen is my absolute favorite. Another thing is I wish the egg that came with it was marinated like they do in Japan, but I'm just being nitpicky. I really enjoyed my meal and how attentive the staff were, and I'll definitely come back again soon! read more

Ramen Time - Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

I might've been a bit of a skeptic heading in, but I kept an open mind and an eager stomach. After all, this is the suburbs, and there aren't a ton of options for ramen. So if you find yourself in the area and get the craving for noods, go give it a try. If ramen snob is a title you like to carry, proceed at your own risk and leave those snobby pants at home :) We came for dinner, and unlike lunchtime where you have to order at the counter, it's table service. You're given menus for both Ramen Time and Jimmy Thai, so if you wanna take a dip in both ponds, have at it. We came for ramen so I ordered as soon as I sat down. Certainly simple as 1-2-3. My bowl: tonkatsu broth + chashu pork. Automatically came w/ the fixings of bok choy, scallions, egg and cabbage. Asked for spicy, but I didn't find it spicy at all. I was happy with the broth--certainly had depth to it. Creamy and not overly-loaded with sodium. Not too thick either. Just the right consistency. I love me some fat, so I didn't particularly love the lean chashu pork slices they used. They also weren't as tender as I'd hoped. Perfect portion for me. I usually have trouble finishing ramen at other places but this one just hit the spot. I let our server know that our time was limited because we were going to catch a movie at Northbrook Court, and she made a note of it. Our bowls came in 10 mins (more or less). When I asked for hot sauce, I was given the chili sauce. I had prior knowledge of their habanero paste so I asked for that. Dumped both in my bowl... still not spicy. I started to think that maybe because I tried Da Bomb a couple of days ago that everything else pales in comparison. I digress. read more

I am not sure what came over me to try a ramen place in a random strip mall in Deerfield, IL. But I would say the ramen here is on par with the ramen you would expect from a random strip mall in Deerfield, IL. Ramen Time is part of Jimmy Thai, which, in my understanding is a Thai restaurant. But I decided to try it anyway. Maybe it was the amazing reviews on Yelp. It's not authentic. Not at all. But it was fine. For suburban strip mall ramen, it really is fine. The ramen tasted like a regular old noodle soup. Soup tasted like a regular old pork broth. There was bok choy in the ramen, which I found very weird. No mushrooms or seaweed. The pork pieces were not what you would get from a place in the city, but they were tender. The noodles were cooked to the right consistency. When I lived in Cleveland, there was a ramen place that I really liked. This place reminded me of that. If this place was downtown, I would give it 2 stars. But if I lived in Deerfield, I would probably come back. read more

This was my first time ever having Ramen and I'm hooked!! After looking at reviews I decided to start with spicy veggie broth, with mixed veggies and I had corn & an extra molten egg added. The broth was nice and spicy. Not so spicy it kills your taste buds but you do feel it on your lips and it makes you sweat a little bit. When you look at my pic you'll see how it's just overflowing with veggies! Underneath was a bunch of noodles. Got this for carry out and the broth is packaged separately and that's great so the noodles don't soak up everything's I can't wait to come back to try other versions! read more

The food is always excellent and the ramen is top notch. Jimmy, the owner, is a so friendly and accommodating.

Came here multiple times so far since they relocated around Thanksgiving time. The owners of Ramen Time is the same as Jimmy Thai and both restaurants are in the same location, so don't get confused if you are looking for Ramen Time and only see Jimmy Thai. It is in the exact same place! The first time I came here, it was PACKED. It was a Saturday night and all tables were filled. I wanted to order take out but because of the amount of people that were there, the wait time was up to 1 hour. The owner, Jimmy, felt bad for us and gave us an incentive to come back. Bless his heart, he is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Since then, I have been here about 5+ times and have brought multiple people with me. They have all said all of their food is amazing and the service is always spot on. During lunch, you order first and then find yourself a table and during dinner, you find yourself a table and the staff takes your order. No matter how busy it may be, Jimmy always comes by and talks to me. Every single time. This is an owner who really is a kind person and cares about people. Since this is a review for Ramen Time I will provide my thoughts on the best ramen dish ever. I order the Tonkotsu broth with shrimp tempura and it is always SPOT on. I have taken it to go and have eaten it at the restaurant and both times the flavor didn't disappoint. THE BROTH is so flavorful. How do they do it???? TIPS: during lunch, they also provide a free fountain drink to go with your meal if you dine in. AWESOME. If you want to order takeout, call ahead. Don't make my noob mistake and try to order on the spot during their busiest nights. I also always order the Thai Tea. That drink is magic. Get it. you won't regret it. read more

Not sure about this place. We ordered take out Chicken broth ramen Tonkatsu ramen Curry dish- awful and watered down and missing a ton of ingredients like potatoes (according to the menu). I am assuming they had a bad day as I know the reviews are contrary to mine. The ramen broth was off and not what I am used to. Tasted like curry and coffee and nothing like ramen broth. The sliced pork belly wasn't great. The broth was was greasy, not tasty. Bums me out. Hard to be a good Thai place and a good ramen place. Not sure but I wasn't a fan of it and maybe they screwed up the broth ? Dropped a cup of coffee in there by accident ? Off day read more

Friendly family restaurant with spacious and clean interior, a part of the Jimmy Thai restaurant. The ramen are easy to order, choose either chicken or tonkotsu soup, spicy or regular, the choose your meats. The ramen came out in 5 minutes after ordering, fast! We ordered a spicy and regular ramen, both tonkotsu. They were both decent, but more like a Thai fusion Ramen. The broth has a hint of pork flavor but it leans towards the Asian pork broth taste with miso added, rather than the thick creamy pork tonkotsu known in Japanese Ramen. The noodles and pork chashu were also more like what you find in an Asian bowl than authentic ramen. That said, it's the Northshore and its better than instant Ramen but expect it to be a fusion Thai-Jap ramen. read more

Ramen Time - Ramen Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

Possibly the worst ramen I've ever had. I had really high hopes for this place because of all the great reviews. The owner is so kind and greeted us as soon as we walked in...but that was the only highlight of my experience. It took 10 minutes for a waitress to acknowledge us and she rarely checked in to fill drinks or make sure we didn't need anything. At the end of our stay we eventually had to ask the owner for our check after waiting around for 15 minutes after we were finished. We ordered fried tofu after being told they were out of spring rolls - which was fine. However, those were pretty terrible as well. The ramen lacked flavor all around and the meat (I ordered the pork chashu) was dry and tasteless as well. My fiancé and I paid extra to add on molten eggs... and those weren't even cooked correctly. The yolk was completely hard....and ruined the entire point of being added to a ramen bowl. I really wish this has been a better experience. I was so excited to find great ramen nearby. read more

Ramen Time - Tonkotsu chashu ramen. - Ramen Near Me - Deerfield, Illinois

I was in the area to take care of business and during my search to find food in the area, I came across Ramen Time on Yelp. I arrived to the location and thought I had entered the wrong address at first, but realized that Ramen Time is part of Jimmy Thai (sign outside only says Jimmy Time). I love how this restaurant is order at the counter service. It's super quick and easy and once you've ordered, you can seat yourself in a large space with plenty of tables and chairs. Since I was craving ramen for lunch, I decided to gravitate toward a bowl of ramen with chicken broth and shrimp tempura as my choice of protein. You can order ramen or Thai food at the same place. Once you order, you receive a number to place at the table and a complimentary soft drink! That was a great surprise since it was unexpected. The food came out extremely fast and was brought out by a server. The shrimp tempura was perfectly fried and the ramen was a lot creamier than some others I've tried but was fine. The noodles were great! Chewy and cooked well. Overall, I was pleased with the entire experience and appreciated the friendly smiles and service there. There are plenty of spaces for parking in the large lot outside. read more

Found this place via Yelp and must say that was very impressed! Came here for lunch with the wife. We each got the same thing, the tonkotsu broth with the chashu pork slices. We didn't go with any upgrades. The broth had a lot of depth to it, and just about all the ingredients were great. My only quibble is that you only get 1/2 and egg and our egg yolk was cooked more that I prefer. That being said this was really enjoyable and close to the house so we will be back! read more

Possibly next week and yes it was that good!!! read more

Overall, the ramen here isn't terrible but I'd have to recommend Ronin's Spoon ramen over Ramen Time's based on two factors, portion size and flavor. Portion size: I'm sure Ramen Time's portion sizes when you dine in are great, but I was little disappointed with the takeaway size when I'm used to a giant portion size from Ronin's. Ronin's takeaway containers are essentially the same size as a full ramen bowl when you dine in. Flavor: Overall, the flavor of the ramen here isn't bad. I ordered the spicy tonkatsu (pork broth) ramen and it has the right texture and amount of spice. That being said, Ronin's Spoon does it better. A few ingredients missing from the ramen here that Ronin's Spoon sets itself apart with are the bamboo shoots, woodear mushrooms, nori, narutomaki, and lotus root (to name a few). Instead, Ramen Time gives you some cabbage and bok choy. Why didn't I just get ramen from Ronin's then? Well, today I figured I'd give Ramen Time a try since it's across the street compared to a 12 minute drive. Ronin's Spoon is also a few dollars more per bowl but oh man is it worth that extra pocket change. Would I eat at Ramen Time again? Sure, but I won't order the ramen. read more

I was excited about the idea of ramen here in suburbs and came here as soon as I could after hearing about this place. The large sign on the restaurant still says Jimmy Thai. Upon closer inspection I saw the Ramen Time sign in the window. I came early, around 5:15 pm on on Friday, so the place was mostly empty. The service was very quick and attentive. A gentleman who I presume was the owner stopped by to say hello and wished us a nice meal. At the end he thanked us for coming. Now, the ramen. The menu keeps it simple which I appreciate. Several choices of broth and very good selection of add-ons. The size was generous. The flavor was ok but it is not the best ramen we have had in the Chicagoland. The noodles had good texture. All in all, I found the location very undesirable, almost desolate. The inside is not very cozy either. Had more of a cafeteria than a restaurant vibe. The soup is good but not great. If it's on my way and I'm craving ramen, I may do a takeout, however, I will not make a special trip just to come here. I will keep searching around the area, otherwise, I have some favorites in the city. read more
