My go-to for takeout ramen. Favorites on the menu include karaage chicken ramen and chicken gyoza. Great takeout option for colder months when you want a spicy bowl of ramen to warm you up! Friendly staff/service and speedy delivery!

Disappointing tantan men. Weak flavor, wrong toppings, bad noodles. The noodles looked and tasted like overcooked spaghetti. Do not recommend

VERY intimate. Seats are uncomfortable however i understand the aesthetic and the food completely makes up for it. I got the spicy miso ramen and it was perfection!!! THE CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE GYOZA ARE TO DIE FOR!!!!!!!!!! This is a perfect lunch or dinner spot if youre alone or with a friend!

Aside from the aesthetic of the facility feeling like your in a local Japanese noodle shop the food here was a total miss. I ordered the tantan ramen and it very super bland in flavor and salt. Broth tastes like water and a very very light pork flavor broth, the noodles were also not egg noodles, it was something similar to vermicelli noodles in thickness and texture. I feel like the ramen is also considerably overpriced for the quality of ingredients used and lack there of. Overall very disappointing.

Even living a block away doesn't make this restaurant worth it. Gone a couple times and it's just so underwhelming. The chairs are super uncomfortable and the food is sub par. I think the noodles were closer to spaghetti noodles than ramen noodles, they hardboil the egg in the ramen so it's not runny at all, and the pork belly rice dish I got was devoid of flavor aside from an ungodly amount of soy sauce. Even if it were significantly cheaper, I personally wouldn't go. Two stars because the service is generally friendly.

This is a small place that gets packed fast. They serve delicious ramen that by far I would consider some of the best ramen I have ever ate. I usually always get the Karaage Chicken Ramen. I love it so I always get the Large bowl. Definitely a place I will continue going to many more years to come with my fiance. 10 out of 10 stars!

Tables and seats were tight, hard and very awkward. Noodles in the ramen were overcooked and lacked any bite. Soup was just warm, not hot. Also, there wasn't a double front door like at most Chicago restaurants, so the dining room was blasted with frigid Chicago air every time someone opened the door which was practically every minute during dinner rush.

Guys and Dolls, this has to be one of the best kept Ramen restaurants in our beautiful city. Situated in the heart and start of downtown (Chicago Ave. & State Street, diagonal from Holy Name Cathedral) is a cozy, yummy, dining experience you won't want to miss! Under $30, ALL YOU CAN EAT!!! amazing service, full bar with Happy hours 11am-4pm, and food of high delicious quality, I guarantee you will leave a happy customer!
