We ordered the takoyaki, boiled gyoza, kitakata ramen, tsukemen, and aburi miso ramen. Everything we ordered was delicious and the staff was friendly and attentive!

Ramen has been one of my favorite foods since eating too much of it as a teenager and a bunch during college. This place steps it up a few notches and takes it to a, whole, nother, level! A top choice when I’m around!

I really wanted to rate this 5 stars as it is arguably, the best ramen option in the western suburbs (taste wise) but after waiting 45 mins to place our order for 3 bowls of ramen and gyoza, I’m not sure I will be back anytime soon. The total bill with tip was almost $90. And even though it’s the same chain, the one up North (Hoffman Estates) still tastes better. But, the broth is still very good and the noodles are definitely legit – very chewy and tastes homemade.

We loved going to Kitakata in Hoffman Estates because the food is great and service is amazing so when we moved down to the Lombard area, we were excited see this location was going to open. This location however, total contrast!

Sabri & Shay, So Much. The food was absolutely amazing, and you’re just two minutes down the street! I will definitely be recommending this one to my people. We came in with just minutes to spare before your last call, and you treated us like Royalty. Get us a nice vegan soy free alternative “soy sauce”, and I will gladly find a way to give you 6/5…………✊ ✊ …. & Of course, thanks for the BYOB on the ~ ”Alternative Soy Sauce“ (See Attached Pic)

Authentic Japanese ramen. Not “Japanese-style”, this is actually authentic. Just try their original ramen. The reason I took a star off:
