I was so excited when I saw the good reviews! It’s hard to find good ramen outside of the city. I ordered the tonkastu, I’m not sure what is was but it certainly was not tonkastu. Very watery no flavor (which is the exact OPPOSITE of what tonkastu is supposed to be.) Also ordered curry ramen, it was fine but also very watery! The tempura also was not tempura. The only good thing about the dish was the egg that came with my ramen.
Ever since Benkey closed I haven't gone to any ramen restaurants. Today I decided to try this place. I had Spicy Umami Miso with udon noodles. My mother had Chicken Ramen. OMG it was fantastic!!!! I recommend this place!
A welcome addition to the Palatine. The ramen and curry katsu are phenomenal. Excited every cool rainy day to visit and enjoy a meal. Glad to have this place local and hope it stays around for a long time.
Very good place for a Lil meal
Excellent little dine-in place with great portions and picture-perfect plating. The Tonkotsu ramen was piping hot and generous with the serving, and the potato croquettes were perfect in just about every way. For the money, it's hard to do much better than this. The dine-in area is a bit spartan, but it does the job. They were playing some lovely City Pop music so the vibes were right. Will be back sometime for sure.
The vibes inside is really cozy. The food is awesome. Got a miso bowl with extra broth and noodles cause it's that good. I'm really glad I found this local ramen spot. Delicious food for a good price. Stop reading this review and eat here already.
Really flavorful dishes, generous portions, very reasonably priced, simple decor, wonderful service : just a very satisfying experience and a great meal!
