Ramen lives up to the hype! A cool shared experience with strangers ❤️
Tips:
Cash only, plan on $40 for 2 hungry people.
Get there before 11, line starts forming by 1045. Stay in the line to the right, next to the tables.
Take a friend. The patient one of you stands in line, the other claims a table. Coats on chairs are respected. Then they can go buy fresh sushi from the grocery!
If you aren't occupying all chairs, offer the extras to late comers and families. People will ask you for them anyway.
No pop/fountain drinks available other than bottled Japanese drinks. Your order number will come from the loudest speaker.
Not for the claustrophobic - Everyone is always friendly and happy while eating there.
It's been a while since I've been to this Mitsuwa, so while I miss the dim sum booth, ramen sounded like a nice idea. I went with the medium soy ramen combo with the chasu rice bowl. Ramen was nice and hot, noodles had a good chew to them. The chasu bowl was larger than expected and I'm glad I went with that as a "side". I'd say the one downside was the ramen egg. Flavor wasn't bad, and you get a whole egg, but you can see it's just a regular hard-boiled eggs that's been marinated. The yolk was totally cooked through. Not bad by any means but it just something that would have pushed the bowl to a great bowl of ramen. Prices are good and they were ready quickly.
This is by far, the best place to get authentic miso ramen in illinois. I go here hungry, and i leave full and happy. My only sadness when i go here, is not only have i finished my meal, it's the fact that i must leave. I count the days until i may return, and succle on the sweet-savory deliciosness that is concocted in this fine establishment. Many blessings upon you, wonderfull chef's, who have been brought on this earth to share your culinary arts with the world. Odin smiles upon you.
This spot simply knows how to treat their customers. Always with a helpful mindset. The food is affordably priced, regularly delightful and clean.
Went early but look at the line at 11:05am haha... good ramen..belly was good...will always go back.
Best ramen in town and probably in the whole state. I highly recommend the spicy miso ramen
