After dining at Nomu Ramen and Izakaya in Glenview numerous times, we've found that this Japanese…read morerestaurant consistently serves well-prepared and flavorful meals. It has become our go-to spot when we want a simple, relaxing meal featuring comfort food, or just a nice bowl of ramen. Our favorite dishes include: Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen ($15.99) -- This comes with three rectangular slices of chashu that are nicely lean, with just enough fat to add flavor. The half-boiled egg was cooked to perfection, the noodles had an ideal texture, and the broth was rich and flavorful. The portion was just right for me. Unagidon ($20.99) -- Fluffy sushi rice topped with fillets of eel glazed in a sweet soy-based sauce, served with miso soup. The bowl is full of flavor and very satisfying. The portion is perfect for me as well. Fried Mini Octopus ($10.99) -- We love the crispy, delicious mini octopus. It's a great appetizer to share. On our most recent visit, my husband ordered the Nabeyaki Udon ($17.99), which was topped with shrimp tempura, fish cake, tempura flakes, half an egg, and scallions. The bowl was tasty, but when comparing it with a similar dish at another Japanese restaurant in Northbrook at the same price, we found the portion at Nomu a little less generous. The other restaurant included an additional tempura shrimp and many chicken pieces, while Nomu's version did not include chicken. Because of that, my husband will probably stick with their ramen rather than order the Nabeyaki Udon again. All in all, we really enjoy our meals at Nomu Ramen and Izakaya. With friendly and attentive service, clean and comfortable seating, and a convenient location close to home, we'll definitely keep coming back! 4.5 rounded up to 5 stars.

The dining room is really pretty, and well-appointed! We were seated right away by friendly staff. Looking around, this appeared to be a very family-friendly establishment, as that was, by far, the most prominent type of connoisseur in the house on this evening! Our waitress was wonderful, and helped us with some recommendations upon us letting her know it was our first visit! She checked in with us frequently, and made sure drinks were always refilled promptly! We had a bunch of different items, and all were very good! We tried sushi rolls, beef noodles, and ramen. I'd have to say that the beef noodles probably were the best item for me! Prices were just about as you'd expect: not too high, but not super cheap either...but wholly justified by the great food and lovely service and experience!

When looking for a quick dinner option we came across Ramen Time on Yelp and decided to give it a…read moretry. Ramen Time isn't a restaurant you would see from the street. It is sharing space with Jimmy Thai and the signage outside is for Jimmy Thai. When we arrived we were quickly seated and given two menus. One for Jimmy Thai and one for Ramen Time. We were also given one plastic bottle of water per a person. The ramen menu allows you to choose a broth, protein and add-ons. The bowl comes with a molten egg and vegetables that usually come with ramen. I got the skinny option which was half the portion of noodles and additional vegetables in addition to a protein and molten egg. The ramen was good. The egg was a bit overcooked and one of the vegetables was thick chunks of green pepper which was good but different. The price was reasonable. If you are in the area and enjoy ramen give it a try.

Chicken katsu, fried mushroom and short ribs are the ramen options. I appreciated that it wasn't your typical salty version. On a cold night, it was a cozy comfort meal and we had enough for lunch tomorrow. Super fresh ingredients, good broths. Note - if you don't want an ingredient be sure to note it when your order online. Our kids can't have chili flakes and they left them out for us. Excellent sesame broccolini as a small plate/side. Chinese walnut cookies were a great ending. Everything was packed very nicely but if we could, I'd rather eat it there in person to save all the plastic tubs that were used for our family of 4. Come spring, we hope to eat outside if the option is there. The only change we wished for were some expanded menu options with the ramen. Build your own ramen would be great. I took a piece of the chicken from my daughter and 1/2 egg from my husband. My husband wished there would have been a pork-protein option and I would have liked a tonkotsu broth on the menu. If you are hankering for some ramen, this Blue-Bear version is a nice treat.

When we walked in we were quickly seated and the staff was great and made great recommendations. We tried the bang bang shrimp and the volcano tamago. The bang bang shrimp was fried and covered in the sauces. It was good but not the type of bang bang shrimp I'm used to. The volcano tamago were half of a hard boiled egg each and were full of flavor, soft and crunch at the same time. Loved those! On to the ramen, I got the garlic ramen and it was good! I shared with my little so I had the chili oil on the side and he loved it and ate a whole small bowls worth. I added the chili after and some pork katsu which were delicious. To drink we tried the kumquat lemon with the aloe jelly. It was refreshing for a hot summer day. Overall we had a great experience and look forward to coming back when we're in the area.

I appreciated they had a ball of spicy paste in the Spicy Miso for a choose your own adventure level of spice. The Taiwan had ground pork rather than pork belly. Personally, I love Ramen. However, the fatty pork belly doesn't always land well. I love the ground pork option in the Taiwan. Personally, I found it to have WAY more protein than your typical Ramen. The Salmon Don was simple and clean. But... if we are honest... when you have great QUALITY fish - it will speak for itself. Also, some places I've went barely put 4 pieces of fish in the bowl.

Corn was like it had been freshly picked and cooked same day. The only thing that wasn't rave-worthy was the andouille sausage. It was fine, but not epic. Even the forks, claw crackers, and shell breakers were substantial and held up well. Would get 5 stars if: 1. soda fountain instead of bottled drinks and/or BYOB; 2. table side hand cleaning - wet wipes are serviceable, a warm wash cloth would have delighted us, or a table side handwashing station for an over the top experience.

But the whole market looks awesome, very Japanese style setups for each restaurant. One thing for sure, with that many options it was hard to choose, but my mind was set for ramen so Santouka was the winner. Staff was quick. No messing around. Order, pay, food comes out pretty fast. I got the large Toroniku Spicy Miso. The toroniku (pork cheek) comes on the side. The pork was crazy good. Super tender, almost too soft honestly, it just melted the second I took a bite of it. The broth was the star though. Really rich miso flavor, deep and savory. Slightly salty in a good way, but balanced. I expected it to be spicy because of the name, but it wasn't really spicy at all, more like a warm miso punch. The noodles were soft with a little chew to them, which I like. And the broth sticks to them pretty well. Honestly just really good ramen. Simple as that.

Service was fine, it took quite a while for our food to be ready but we found a table and did some people watching while we waited. Tables are usually filled on the weekends... not everyone cleans up after themselves, which makes the dining area look messy. Sometimes, a table will be empty but dirty causing a little bit of confusion if it is available or not.
