This place was very popular for takeout orders and very busy in general, so the service was pretty slow and took a while to get our food. However, I could tell it was popular for a reason; the food was pretty authentic and tasty for great prices. We started with the tempura, brussels, and firecracker roll. All were great portions and flavorful. The Brussels were on the saltier side but well done compared to other places. As for the spicy miso ramen, I've definitely had better ramen. It wasn't piping hot either nor spicy. I had kimchi as well on the side, which was a nice option to add. Overall it's not my favorite ramen but liked the other dishes that we got to try and would try some other dishes next time as well! read more

I saw some photos and heard some reviews. Walked in expecting to be underwhelmed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor is simple, the restaurant takes a simple minimal approach on decor, this is a good thing.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Movable tables and chairs make for ability to set up for large parties or move things for special needs clients in wheelchairs or using other mobility devices.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One lady came in with a baby and they helped her to the door and out with the stroller. Very good customer service, even after dining. At our table we ordered plum wine salmon avocado firecracker roll and curry rice. The salmon avocado is very fresh and combined with the plum wine has great taste. The firecracker roll packs a nice spicy punch but isn't too overwhelming on the taste buds. The curry rice is tasty simple on the palate and a nice dish. Food is served pretty quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a hidden restaurant sat amongst mostly fast food and retail.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you get a chance to go DO IT. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Don't let the minimalist decor and ambiance throw you off. This is top notch dining working within a low cost environment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The food is your focus when you're here and the restaurant does a good job of fading to the background as you focus on your table your people and your dishes.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Hoping that this place gains some traction! This place opened up recently and I'm happy to have stumbled upon it while googling ramen places in the area. My husband and I went to dine in tonight and the food was all delicious. We were the only ones dining in but there were a couple takeout orders that had come in while we were there. Pork buns: buns were fluffy and soft, pork was flavorful and had a nice sauce on top of it. I could have done without the lettuce on it though. Cream croquette: so good! Basically a fried potato nugget with a smooth cream to it inside. Would definitely get this again. Ramen: I got the Tonkatsu and hubby got the Miso. Both were good but I liked mine better. Very flavorful! The pork in both had a char to it which was nice and the egg was perfectly cooked. I asked for some Sriracha which they provided, plus they can bring you a spicy chili paste. Mixed the sriracha into mine for some spice and it gave it a good kick (there are spicy broth options on the menu - I just prefer to mix my own spice levels in). Overall, a cute spot that could be overlooked if you're not familiar with the strip mall plaza. We'll definitely be back - maybe to try some sushi or their rice bowl options next time! read more

Had a great take out meal. Thoroughly enjoyed almost everything they ordered and would re-order most of it again. Takoyaki: grilled octopus balls. This was great! Was everything that I expected it to be even after taking it home. Good flavors, good textures, a decent amount of octopus inside. Would get this again. Chicken karaage: this was great also and I'd get it again. Though the chicken didn't stay crispy after taking it home (as expected), the chicken texture was soft inside and the sauce (seemed like a spicy mayo sauce) was a good dipping sauce for it. I'd get this again as well! Tonkotsu ramen: pretty good ramen with a good soup base. The pork chasu in it was very flavorful. The egg was perfectly soft boiled. Would get this again too, but may try other ramens next time. Gyu don: marinated beef over rice. This was great as expected also. Tasted exactly as I thought it would. A bit of a sweeter meat/sauce if you like that. Spicy tuna bowl: not my favorite and won't be getting this again unless there are changes to it. The tuna was the very chopped up, so it didn't really feel like I was eating a raw fish. The taste was a bit spicy, but I didn't taste any type of saucy flavor to it. Just a little spicy mush over rice. I ended up adding the spicy mayo sauce from the chicken karaage to it to eat, and enjoyed it a little more that way. (Sorry if I butchered this dish). Maybe I'm just not used to what a spicy tuna bowl is, but I prefer sauces in my raw fish over rice. The restaurant is a cute little shop with a decent amount of seating, but doesn't look big enough for large large groups unless you combine tables if they're available. There's a cute little foosball table kids can play with as well. Small enough for maybe toddler aged kids or I guess adults too? Ha. Thanks for a great meal! I will be back to try more things on the menu! read more

I really hate to be that person, but if you've had ramen in Japan, then you know this isn't real ramen. Their tonkotsu ramen is the worst! The broth was so bland and the eggs looked old. It did not taste like tonkotsu at all. The broth for their spicy ramen had a very weird flavor - it almost tasted like they threw a bunch of spicy chili sauce all over it to give it some flavor, but was unsuccessful. Their croquettes would've been good, but they served it to us cold. It was warm on the outside, but cold on the inside. Chicken karaage was not well seasoned. Despite the disappointment, I will say that the only thing that was good was their sushi. I wanted to love this place so much, but it's not worth the drive. read more

I had the Black Tonkotsu Ramen. The garlic truffle oil they use is a great addition to the traditional Tonkotsu I am used to. The service was good. Highly recommend checking the place out. read more

We tried this place for the first time since it opened this year. I'm happy to say everything we ordered was great -spicy miso, pork with black garlic oil, bun and firecracker rolls. I'm a big ramen fan and have eaten at many different ramen places in the Chicagoland - I can say ramen here is flavorful and authentic and is among the top. So glad we now have a high quality Japanese ramen and sushi place in the area! One thing to improve is that the restaurant looks low on staff - so the vibe is more for casual dining when you don't demand perfect service. Will be back again! read more

My boyfriend and I came here a few days before the grand opening (aug 28). The place was empty, prob because we came for the soft opening, but the staff was very nice! We got the karaage and takoyaki to start. The karaage was just a cooked chicken with sriracha mayo. It was good, although we were expecting it to be crunchier. The takoyaki was amazing and left us wanting more! I looooved the Tonkatsu ramen and the spoon it came with. My boyfriends firecracker sushi was great too with a little kick! Def recommend if you're in the area! I love local shops like this.10/10 read more

Hands down the best ramen I've ever had. I've had other ramen spots and never underwood the hype. This one was a game changer for me. The sushi menu is very limited and expensive so I would not go looking for sushi but the meal was phenomenal. read more

The food was not the best, the service was uncomfortable and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the vibes were off.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We ordered 3 dishes, the spicy tuna bowl, the miso ramen, and the yakisoba. This restaurant didn't live up to its rating that's for sure. read more

Not sure how I feel about this place. We went on January 2nd, new years observed where most places were closed. Service was extremely understaffed, and it seemed like everything was made to order so it took quite a while to get our food. I'm not sure if this is the norm for this restaurant, but the staff was very apologetic and very nice, so I'm not going to dock stars for that. The food was all very good. In itself, it was a solid restaurant. Few of the appetizers and sushi were a little fishy smelling, like it was right out of the freezer, but was otherwise well balanced. Ramen was good. If I didn't have 2 amazing ramen places within minutes of this place, I'd think it was amazing, but if I'm craving ramen, this is not the place I would likely go only because there's other ramen places that are tried and true. That said, if I'm in this specific area, and want decent Japanese food, this place was a good solid meal. read more

If you are looking for a quick ramen or something different in downtown palatine area you can try this restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is so hard to find this restaurant because it is pretty tucked away in the Ace Hardware mall. There were no sign when driving by that indicated a ramen place is nearby unless you search for it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food was made fast and service was good. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place is very common restaurant style. Not fancy for a quick bite.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I didn't check out the washroom. read more

Went on the 9th. 3 tables had maybe 5 people at them. very not busy. And and only 1 waitress. Service was pretty slow and food was just OK. Kimchi chef special was really good, however the pork in it was not (overcooked and chewy) The tempoura was fresh and good. however the Avacado & cucumber sushi roll was bad, (simple and not good) the rice was too much and very sticky. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe of the place was weird. It felt off.. Lke it should be something else. Feels like it should be like a boba place or something of the sort.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]also interior decor is pretty low quality, some folding chairs and tables too.. looks cheap..[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Ordered a take out order yesterday to try out the place since it was close and we were in the mood for ramen and sushi. We ordered the shoyu and tonkotsu ramen, a spicy tuna roll, salmon and avocado roll and a shrimp tempura. The ramen was just ok, not as good as some other places in the area, but it will do. The sushi was pre-packaged and seemed to be of similar quality to what you could get from a grocery store. That said it was pretty good as well. I didn't try the shrimp tempura, but my other family members seemed to like it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place was empty, especially for a Saturday night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]My daughter came with me and we enjoyed playing on the little foosball table they had near the entrance.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Hopefully they will get more business and stay open since its nice to have a ramen option so close. Overall the food was good and we'll probably come back. It would be nice to have some more non-fried options and some fresh made sushi. read more

The karage chicken is the way to go (so far) This is the kind of place you want to gain recognition and stay afloat but you still want it low key enough that the food is made freshly so quickly... ahh the dilemma. I have obviously chosen to wish this place "makes it". More places should be like this :) Wishing this place success!! read more

Fresh Ramen and great sushi. I had sushi and rice bowls togo one night, and I just finished a great bowl of tonkotsu ramen and loved every last drop. The pork is very flavorful and a perfect little char, floating on a creamy and steamy broth with heart warming noodles below polished off with a fresh field of green onion next to the sunny glow of a perfect soy egg displaying a creamy yolk. This place does not miss and on a cold day their food will warm your soul. read more

We came here to try the ramen and we're not disappointed. We started with an order of Gyoza which are slightly different from others in that these are deep fried. They were delicious. We had the black Tongotsu ramen and the Curry ramen. The black version of the ramen is something I have not encountered at the other local spots and it had a distinctive and desirable taste. The Curry ramen had the usual thicker curry base liquid and had just enough of a kick to make it stand out. Service was efficient and very pleasant. This is a keeper. read more

Nice addition to the local restaurant scene. I had the spicey tuna roll and the spicey pork ramen bowel. Very good but a tad bland. I used the chili paste (provided) to "heat" it up. I'll be back. read more

We have had food from here 2x before their grand opening. We picked up a yakisoba and some gyoza to eat at home. My tween liked the dumplings. My yakisoba was just okay, I felt like it lacked an authentic taste and veggies. They accommodated my request to add chicken instead of pork which was awesome of them. We ate here also and had pork ramen and a chicken ramen. Both good. We also had karaage, pork buns, croquettes, takoyaki and beef gyudon. All good. We will come back and wish this place good luck. read more
