I recently tried the tomato vegetable ramen at Shinya Ramen House, and it was truly impressive. The slow simmered broth was rich, and deeply satisfying without feeling heavy. What really set the dish apart was the fresh tomato. It added a bright, unexpected burst of flavor that perfectly balanced the depth of the broth. The "tempura veggies" turned out to be fried potato which underwhelmed, but the spicy edamame came through and all was well. The space itself has a rad décor, just cool without trying too hard. And shoutout to our server, who was incredibly patient while I navigated the digital menu I'll be back! read more

For a place with high stars, I really expected some decent food. We scan the menu, because its a kind of self service place, and we ordered the Takoyaki, our usual favorite appetizer. We receive it, to only bite into a COLD MIDDLE. The octopus was still COLD!!! BUT, we tried to remain optimistic for the ramen.. as someone that has tried ramen all over chicago, this ramen fine. It was so pretty inside, we wanted to like it so bad. But, for the price i paid, I really expected more decent quality food. Maybe, we should try something else?? Its so Prettyyyy inside tho, good photo opp. read more

Great prices, great vibe in there and even better food and drinks. It can get pretty packed on weekends, but def recommend for date night and usually food and drinks come out pretty speedy. We got a few diff options. I really enjoyed the fried rice. The curry ramen was ok, needed a bit more seasoning/salt. Short ribs were the stars of the show though. The drinks were fantastic. Tbh I forgot which cocktail I got but my date for the lychee martini and it was fire read more

I tried to reserve a table online, but it wasn't accepted. When I called during dinner hours, they took the reservation. The interior looks cute with the wall posters and ceiling decoration. There is a lot of options on the menu. We tried the Seafood Okonomiyaki which was a decent potion, but there was little seafood. The Yellowtail Collar was crispy and we liked it. The Unagi Rice with tea was just right. The Beef Vegetable fried rice as a value deal, but a little too salty. I liked the broth for the Chasu Ramen, but the portion was very small. You probably have to add a lot of add-ons if you want it as an entrée. We finished the mean with Taiyaki for dessert. This time, I saved room for dessert. read more

We came in as a large party, sat immediately around 11pm. There was only 2 servers and unfortunately there was a lot of miscommunication, forgotten items and awkward tension. Besides that, The ramen was delicious, lots of noodles and good portion of meat. Takoyaki was super yummy and came with a lot of pcs Only canned soda unfortunately tho read more

Shinya Ramen House - 71. Black Garlic Tonkotsu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile as I drive by it quite often. The inside was decorated nicely! It was a decent size, but not too big. The service was okay. We ordered on an app, and they brought the food from the kitchen. One thing I didn't like was that I wanted to sit in a booth. They told me that the booth was only for groups of 4 or more; however they allowed groups of 3 to sit there. Not a big deal but kinda annoying especially since when I asked the restaurant wasn't busy. The food was good! I will say that the ramen was my least favorite thing that I ordered. I ordered the black garlic tonkotsu ramen, and the broth was not flavorful at all. The other components tasted well seasoned and flavored including the soft boiled egg and the port belly. I didn't get the fish cake in my ramen. The ribeye steak skewers were good! I really liked them, but be warned the seasoning on top is spicy. My absolute favored thing I ordered was the kalbi beef. It was amazing. Next time I go, I will get the kalbi beef with rice. I recommend this place read more

Extremely slow service. It took more than an hour to serve our party of 9. Even after all the food was finally served to our table, we had to chase down one of the waitresses to get her attention to pay the bill. read more

Shinya ramen house in Bridgeport is located nicely on Halsted. They had a large menu which was great because we got to choose from so many things! All the ordering was done on the phone, this helped make the food come out super quickly! We were super impressed with their service. They had awesome decor in the restaurant too! We love the Don bowls and beef skewers from the grills. The ramen was good too. read more

Let's talk about this little gem in the heart of Bridgeport Chicago! Hubby orders there ramen faithfully! However we came in and presented so much more! The bulgogi rice was so good and well flavored. The egg on top of the bulgogi rice was perfect. We also had the sausages (mini hotdogs) , gyoza , hubby also had garlic pork ramen & I had the chicken curry! It was so good. The chicken Karage was also bomb bomb bomb; definitely use the aioli that comes with it. Overall from the anime ambiance, the food, the mango smoothies and the pina colada 20/10 !

One of my favorite spots to get ramen. My family and I used to go when they even opened in the morning! The place is really nicely decorated to get ramen late afternoon. I would recommend ordering the shrimp they're super good the flavor is just amazing on them. Obviously you can never go wrong with edamame, I wasn't a big fan of the friend calamari it was a bit tender and hard to bite amazing flavor though. The ramen was fantastic I finished it all. Everyone there working was really kind even when my mom was struggling to eat her ramen with chop sticks lol. Will be going again with my girls! TikTok: https..lauracitlaly read more

We were looking for a place to order from late night that wasn't crappy food and I'm glad we found this spot. We ordered a mix of apps and things (no ramen) and we enjoyed everything we got. Great quality, great flavor, fast service. Overall great. We would order again. Also have dined in years ago and had a great time. read more

I honestly hate to leave bad reviews but save yourself time and skip this place for your next ramen stop. Everything was tasteless and mid. Starting with appetizers, our fried calamari was so overcooked it legit was rubbery. Edamame too was soggy? Not sure how to truly describe it but it just felt like it was soaked in water. The ramen broth was watery and lacked so much flavor. It tasted watered down. The tonkotsu don wasn't much better either. One of the two pork patties was literally all bone!! Onions were supposed to be caramelized too, but a lot of it wasn't cooked all the way down. Our waiter also didn't speak a peep to us... Definitely not worth coming back to try the other dishes. read more

This spot is a great late-night option with a very cute interior and affordable prices. We tried a variety of small plates, including tofu, eggplant, potato croquettes, and crab rangoons, and appreciated the many vegetarian and vegan options available. I also had the tofu miso ramen. While the food was fresh and felt much healthier than typical late-night fare, most dishes lacked seasoning and ended up tasting a bit bland. I think fixing that could take this place to a whole new level! read more

This place was a bit far to get to from downtown Chicago. We made reservations and I'm glad we did because it seemed pretty crowded. I ordered the tofu miso udon ramen. Broth was alright - nothing spectacular. Just felt like hot noodle soup for me - comforting and relaxed. Enjoyed the mango sake. Service is pretty quick - you can order directly from the table via a QRcode app that's linked to your table. read more

Decent street parking. Service was friendly but there was only one server for most of the restaurant. Food was good. A tad on the salty side for my taste.

We came here right when they opened up. We were the first party to arrive and this place slowly started to fill up by the time we were done eating. The service was ok. The staff was friendly but we had to scan the menu with the QR code and also place our order through our phone. Once you hit submit, you can hear your order go through with a loud ding in the back. Shortly after your food arrives at your table. In a way it's cool because you can glance at the menu at your pace without the pressure of your server returning ready to take your order, or having to wait for your server at times. And if you want to order more you can place it right on your phone. I'm personally not a big fan of it. The I ordered their Original Hakata Tonkotsu, and my wife ordered their Black Garlic Tonkotsu. They both came with pork belly, bamboo shoot, black wood ear mushroom, fried onion, green onion, fish cake, and a half soft boiled egg. My wife's black garlic was a little better but they weren't as tasty compared to others I've had recently. Perhaps I was too hungry, but these bowls seemed a tad bit small and not as filling. And the broth wasn't as hot as I would have liked. I would still definitely consider returning after a Sox game or when I'm in the area. read more

Great way of ordering with mobile phone and others in your table can join the tab. The food was pretty good, me and the boys got Ramen and Gyoza. Probably the best Gyoza I've ever had lowkey, I still think about the flavor of that gyoza days later. The unfortunate thing would be u can only Split the Bill in Half, but that's easily solved. Great decoration around and a nice lively atmosphere playing I'd say popular music within the decade or so. read more

Late night ramen on the south side? Yes! Shinya is a cool small cozy place nested on Halsted. I've eaten here a handful of times and leave full and happy every time. Ramen is good no matter which one you order. Grilled calamari is ok, not my favorite. The oysters were good. And the gyu don rice is amazing. The ribeye beef skewers are good as well. Drinks were tasty. You walk in and see just to be seated. Then you order everything from your phone and will be delivered accordingly. read more

Just really okay, went here first time when they opened and had a nice experience overall. Ramen was good, so were the drinks. Over time noticed a decline. I wasn't overly impressed with my ramen, however was with the edamame, that's been good consistently. I had the Japanese cheesecake and really expected it to be better from the description, it didn't have much flavor. My friends ice cream looked better. The ordering by phone had some hiccups, being able to talk to a person is better. When we did talk to the server it was awkward, my friend wanted a regular spoon, and that seemed to be a thing, then when they brought one it was plastic. Had to insist on a regular metal one, which they did have. Then when I asked for one same thing. My kingdom for a spoon. Up to this point I was feeling maybe just a bad night, it happens. However then I went to the restroom, that sealed the deal that I won't be back. Have to wonder when it once was cleaned thoroughly. Nope, not again. read more

Late night cravings & chill spot Bridgeport, Chicago There were always late night markets and chill restaurants in Asia growing up. We called this 宵夜 "Siu ye" - some of the most famous restaurants are even 24/7 I had NO IDEA that Chicago had spots that closed late, let alone 1:30am! It'd be pretty easy especially if you had a car, because even when it's cold, you can go quickly to a spot , park on the street, get some food quickly before driving home Highlights Chill atmosphere Closes at 1:30am daily (closed entirely on Tuesdays) Takeout available Food comes out in 10mins or so Great grilled items like beef tongue, chicken skin, oysters, squid, whole mackerel Big menu with ramen, grilled items, fried rice, soba, Japanese sake, beers, smoothies, appetizers, chazuke What we got (out of 120+ menu items) Chicken Karaage 日式鹽酥雞$8.99 Clam sake soup酒蒸蛤蜊 $11.99 Hamachi kama yellowtail collar 魚臉$14.99 Kalbi beef 肉眼 $9.99 Mushroom combo 蘑菇拼盘$11.99 needle mushroom, shiitake mushroom, and king oyster mushroom Black garlic Tonkatsu 黑蒜豬骨湯拉麵$14.99 Unagi don 鰻魚飯$14.99 Gyu don 牛肉飯 $13.99 Taiyaki fish shape cake 紅豆鯛魚燒$5.99 Japanese cheese cake 日式起司蛋糕$5.50 Mango smoothie 芒果汁$5.99 Sapporo 12oz 日本啤酒$4.99 Highly recommend the grilled items, especially the hamachi collar, Galbi, and dons (beef & Unagi don).

I've raved about their ramen before, and it still holds up as the best in the city, in my opinion. Their vegetarian option is also fantastic. But I have to add another review because I recently tried their crab rangoons, and wow, they are amazing! Seriously, you have to try them. read more

You need to get here! This #hiddengem recently made Infatuation Chicagos list of best ramen places in the city and they're the only ramen spot staying open until 1:30am! Yes, you can still eat good, late. The Japanese food here is to be enjoyed in their izakaya vibes, which are casual pubs that you can grab lots of small dishes to sample. Honorable mention to the Chicken Curry Ramen and Taiyaki with ice cream - my two favorite items from my visit! I also had a really good Mai Tai and Lychee martini. Go check them out for some good food and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you. read more

This is the place you go to after a night out. It's great that the place opens late, and we were able to get a seat, but I'd recommend booking ahead if you're going on the weekend, as it does fill up. The inside is nicely decorated, and the food is standard. The ramen wasn't too salty, and there were plenty of options. read more

生蚝非常腥，有沙子，一半大概是已经死了的。炸鸡翅是我人生中吃过最难吃的炸鸡，皮也不脆还没啥味儿。三文鱼鱼子拌饭非常难吃，茶碗蒸里鸡蛋都老了。唯一好处大概是开到深夜，但是吃的真的不好吃！！！95%的菜大概都是预制菜。避大雷！ The oysters are very fishy, sandy, and about half of them were probably already dead. The fried chicken wings are the worst I ever had. Not crispy and tasteless. The salmon and roe with rice is very unpalatable, and the eggs in the chawanmushi are overcooked. The only advantage might be that it's open until late at night, but the food is really not tasty at all!!! About 95% of the dishes are probably pre-made. read more

My s/o ordered the seafood ramen and he wasn't really feeling it, said it lacked flavor. He was upset he didn't order mine. I also tried the lychee martini and it was too strong for me. They also decorated spooky for Halloween It looks so cute! Pro tip: check into yelp for free edamame read more

Nice little ramen place in Chicago. There was no wait when we arrived but it quickly got busy just a few minutes later. We started with an order of fried squid and fried dough. My son then ordered some small plates of skewers, short ribs, karaage and rice. I tried curry chicken ramen for the first time. We enjoyed it all. The service was perfectly paced and friendly. We never had to ask for anything. My son brought his grandparents here when they visited him at college and had to dine late after his swim competition. They were happy to find Shinya still open. He said the food was just as good as our first time there. read more

CHECK IN ON YELP FOR A FREE EDAMAME! This is one of the few late night Chicago eats that are open past midnight. A friend and I were craving ramen at around 11PM and were so happy to see this place still open. The restaurant itself is fairly small but has a very cozy outdoor dining area and is decorated with adorable art all over. They also have a decent music playlist and is such a great vibe overall. Service was excellent, no complaints. You scan a barcode at the table and place all your orders through your phone. There are so many menu items worth trying besides ramen. We ended up getting the curry ramen, the chicken paitan ramen, and the spicy edamame with our free yelp coupon from checking in. The curry ramen was alright, not as spicy as I would've liked, so I ended up ordering chili oil on the side. The chicken was slightly chewy, but the broth was decently flavorful and not too salty, I just wish it was a bit more spicy. The edamame was delicious. Highly recommend! read more
