One of the best ramen spots in NW suburbs. Food tasted very fresh and authentic. Awesome spot that’s not overcrowded plus friendly and attentive staff. A+.

I love this place!!! Their daily specials are always delicious and well worth the money. Their miso soup is great. Main entrees too such as tonkatsu. Tonjiru soup is good as well.

Great restaurant. I got the Hamburg Set with a side of Gyoza during dinner service. You can tell these dishes were made by scratch. Thank you Sozai Banzai!

We enjoyed everything we ordered – large katsu curry, unadon, taco karaage (baby octopus!), croquettes. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic; you could taste the ingredients without seasoning overpowering them. We were craving katsu curry and kabayaki eel and it was very satisfying. The place is bright, clean, and smells good, reminding me of small cozy restaurants in Japan. The staff was polite and precise. It is a perfect place for lunch; a couple groups of people were dining in while a few others like me were picking up orders from the counter inside. Will definitely go back to explore other things on the menu.

Love the food and it’s on point sll the time. We love the chashu ramen and bento box entree. Pork tonkatsu is juicy and crispy on the outside. My hubby likes the chicken karaage. The price is reasonable. Ive seen japanese leople eat here so it must be authentic

It was my first time at this quaint Japanese restaurant and I wasn’t disappointed. The service was friendly and we were pleased with the menu options as well. We ordered a couple of different ramen bowls and all 3 of them were delicious. Fresh, flavorful, and well combined ingredients! We were able to control the spice level as they provided the sauce on the side. We’ll surely try some other options on the next visit. It’s a little tucked away in a small strip center so be sure not to pass it up and stop in for for a delicious meal.

I have been here multiple times. Consistently delicious and beautiful Japanese food creations. Authentic Japanese bento, ramen and entrees. Decor is clean, bright and comfortable.

I can’t tell if this ramen is just more authentic than my palette can handle or what, but the Spicy Stamina has more salad toppings than soup and noodles. Not really worth the eat for me. Nice, cute, little place otherwise.

Sozai Banzai don’t look like much on the outside but another way allows in the restaurant. Modern, bright, open, clean and really comfortable. It’s decent ramen and pretty good share plates. Prices are cheap here. Order at the counter and no table service. Serving wines, sakes, beers and soft drinks as well.
