    The beef curry ramen was absolutely delicious. Full of flavor and hearty. I could have easily made three meals with the large portion they provided. Highly recommend.

    My recent visit to this Ramen place left me with mixed feelings. I had heard a lot about it, but unfortunately, it did not live up to the hype. On a scale of one to five, I would rate it as a solid three. First and foremost, the Ramen here was just okay. It didn't have that wow factor that I usually associate with a great Ramen experience. I couldn't help but compare it to other Ramen places in the area that I have tried and enjoyed much more. The flavors were decent, but they lacked the depth and complexity that I have come to expect from a good bowl of Ramen. One of the major letdowns was the lack of customization options. Unlike many other Ramen places in the vicinity, this restaurant flat-out refused to make any substitutions to the Ramen bowls. For someone like me who has specific dietary preferences and allergies, customization is essential. It's disappointing to visit a restaurant and not be able to tailor your meal according to your taste and dietary needs. This lack of flexibility significantly impacted my overall dining experience. Moreover, it was evident that the dishes were pre-made and simply heated and served upon ordering. The speed at which our food arrived was a dead giveaway. Within just five minutes of placing our order, our Ramen bowls were on the table. While fast service is appreciated, it made me question the freshness of the ingredients and the authenticity of the preparation. In comparison, other Ramen places in the area take the time to carefully prepare each order, taking around 15-20 minutes to ensure a fresh and flavorful experience. Specifically, we ordered the Chicken Mabo Tofu Ramen with Egg and the Chicken Ramen. Unfortunately, our request for substitutions was met with a firm refusal. This lack of accommodation was frustrating, especially considering the prevalence of food allergies and dietary restrictions among customers nowadays. A little flexibility can go a long way in enhancing customer satisfaction and ensuring that everyone can enjoy a satisfying meal. In summary, this Ramen place was a mediocre experience. While the food was edible, it lacked the quality, customization options, and freshness that I value in a good Ramen restaurant. I might consider giving it another chance in the future, but for now, I will continue my search for a truly exceptional Ramen spot in the area.

    Ramen was delicious. Got the spicy red miso and it was very flavorful. The chicken Karaage is a 10/10, absolutely get it if you come. The pork hot dog was okay, I probably wouldn’t get it again. Our ramen came out crazy fast too, within 5-7 minutes.

    I’ve been here countless times, they know me at this point. Funnily Somehow I realized I haven't written a review so here I am. This placehad been nothing but phenomenal each and EVERY time I've been. They never miss. Every bowl is perfection. Mabo Tofu is an absolute favorite! I used to go their original location in Des Plaines until this opened and might I say, this surpass the original.

    Love me some ramen! Got the spicy red miso ramen and boy, was it spicy. Chicken Karaage is a must. No questions asked. The pork hot dog, probably can skip on. Ramen comes out quick and it’s tasty!

    So I ate here twice. Both times were nice. The second time though I had a flavor experience that left me questioning my life choices. 1️⃣ Order the edemame with GARLIC! OMG! It was f'n amazing. Why have I never had edemame with garlic before? Who even suggest salt after you've had it with garlic? Completely changed the way I looked at edemame. Was definitely the star of my taste buds and worth the trip. The rest of the food was excellent fare. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the ramens. ⚠️ the only down side was they didn't have to-go cups for the Boba. So it was a slough to suck down the Boba tea after eating such a harty ramen meal. Definately will be back.

    First time here. Warm and friendly environment. Great servers, and the food was amazing. Some pretty unique dishes, such as the Japanese hotdog!

    Couldn't recall if I had been here but since its cold out it's a great way to grab some hot food. I ordered spicy chicken miso, it does have a kick! Really tasty!! Serving is decent enough unless you haven't ate for a week. Service is not bad even they're almost packed when we got there.
