    My friend and I came here randomly on a Saturday. It was empty for the post lunch hour which I didn't anticipate. We chose to order the Takoyaki to share and we chose a ramen for me and a Gyu don beef bowl for him. Service - amazing. Very attentive. The food didn't take long and when it arrived it was pleasing to the eye. Great presentation. Crispy chicken ramen- nice top to keep the fried chicken on the side. They use thigh meat so the flavor was all and through each bite. I enjoyed the ramen but I wanted it to be super spicy and it wasn't. The broth was still great. Gyu Don - too much more rice than the other toppings. I would've appreciated a bit more sauce. The beef was tender and the portion matched the price as well. Super plus. My friend and I plan to return.

    Eggs

    There's a new owner and apparently a new cook as well. The Ramen is not worth it and unfortunately they don't know how to boil an egg properly even though we asked for a new one the cook spent 15min trying to get it out but it took too long and we left. No attention to detail, meat was tough and broth was not good. The server was very apologetic and nice, the place has no color, white walls, plain, not inviting at all.

    Lunchtime wasn't too busy for midweek. The food is always good. The portions are fair. Nice neighborhood place for ramen.

    I gotta say, this is my first time trying Ramen. It was not busy at all when we arrive with just one other part dining in. They guy that took our order was very welcoming and friendly. Got us going right away. We started off with an order of their Pork Gyoza. These very tasty and juicy. It's hard to get these wrong, and E ramen did not fail. My wife ordered their Spicy Unami Miso. It came with ground pork, bean sprouts, green onion, bok choy, chili oil and shredded pepper all in a very delicious tasting rich pork broth. This ramen was so flavorful, I regret not ordering this for my self. I went with their Spicy Chicken Ramen and asked for it to be very spicy. This one as served with thin noodles, chicken chashu, bok choy, green onion and a seasoned egg. This one had some heat to it, but was more bland tasting compared to the spicy unami that my wife ordered. While I still enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall a great first experience with Ramen and wouldn't hesitate returning here if I'm in the area.

    One of my new favorite ramen spots in Chicago! Cute neighborhood spot, it seemed like there were a lot of people coming in for takeout. There was a large group eating also when my boyfriend and I walked in but the service was still quick and friendly. We started with the takoyaki which was delicious - freshly fried with a perfect ratio of octopus and doughy goodness. I got the classic tonkatsu and my boyfriend the spicy tonkatsu. The chashu was melt in your mouth delicious and the broth had a deep flavor that still didn't feel too heavy. My boyfriend apparently thought the spicy was not spicy enough (to be fair he has an insane spice tolerance) but the waiter was gracious enough to bring extra spicy sauce for him. Finished the whole bowl which was definitely too much food for one meal but it was hard to stop eating. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a delicious ramen spot!

    Today was my first time ever trying Ramen that wasn't store bought. I was actually very surprised with how good it was. We ordered for pickup. I ordered the chicken ramen it was delicious. The broth was very tasty, the noodles had flavor, and I like the combination of all the different kinds of veggies and the fried onion straws were great. My fiancé had the spicy chicken ramen. He really enjoyed his as well, he said it really wasn't that spicy, but it was delicious.

    This is our second time ordering from e-Ramen so I can give a review. We only ordered here since we can go anywhere and pretty bored with other places. Taste - The shrimp hibachi taste okay. Nothing special about it. Wish it was a fried rice instead of white rice. When you heard hibachi, you instantly think it comes with a fried rice. The tonkatsu Ramen was also okay. The broth is not that thick, its more on the watery side according to my husband. We also ordered California maki and shrimp tempura maki. My kids loved it! The rolls were made good and its not breaking apart. Price - I think the price is okay. Almost all place have the same price. So yeah, no complain here. Delivery - we ordered through GH and so far its within the delivery time. So pretty happy here. 4 stars because my husband said the broth was om the watery side. Normally my husband is pretty easy compared to me so if he said its watery, I believe him. Will update once my husband says its good enough.

    Please please go to E Ramen if you're craving ramen, sushi or a number of other menu items! I'm a frequent visitor of Chicago. I'm so excited to have been introduced to E Ramen by a friend. This gem is situated near Armour Square and Bridgeport, kinda. The atmosphere is very chill. I imagine many people do carry out but there is also the option to dine in. Our server was quite friendly. He has the double role of running register and serving dine-in guests. That should tell you how small this place is. When asked what he recommends, the server literally said "EVERYTHING!!" I believed him too. I didn't think he was just saying that to get more business. We tried the Karaage Chicken, it was described to me as being similar to Korean friend chicken. Karaage literally is Japanese friend chicken. They are similar. I'd recommend it. I got the Tonkotsu Spicy Ramen. It was some of the best ramen I'd had in a while. I whole-heartedly recommend it. I got the Spicy Chicken Ramen to go and heard amazing things about it as well. In conclusion, if you want ramen in Chicago, go to E Ramen. The End.

    Crispy shrimp with teriyaki sauce. YUMMY
    Angela J.

    Another ramen place for the books! On my quest to find the best ramen in Chicago, I stumbled onto this place. I was on my way to another ramen place when, while driving pass I noticed this spot. I promptly did a U-turn (legally, of course!) and was able to grab a parking spot right in front. Very cute and trendy spot. Clean area with a few dine in tables and a large flat screen on the wall. I quickly scored an empty table and proceeded to gaze at the menu. The waiter was very friendly and nice. He asked if I had walked or parked out front. I told him I parked and he gave me a parking pass to put in my car for free! It was a Sox game that night and some streets have parking restrictions in the area. I thought that was pretty awesome. This is a ramen and sushi spot. While I love both, my inner ramen was calling so I opted for ramen and an appetizer. The appetizer was crispy shrimp with a teriyaki sauce that was filling and delicious! The ramen was pretty good too! I had the spicy chicken ramen in which you can choose your level of heat. All in all, I am definitely going back to try the sushi and order more ramen. Glad I had a chance to stop here.

    After hearing on a online magazine about E Ramen being on the top 10 ramens in Chicago we decided to try it. We live so close to it so why not. It's a very cozy place small but nice. I think it's family own. A very nice boy was our waiter today. He was very attentive and served us great. He even refilled our waters without us asking, very good costumer service. We ordered the original tonkotsu ramen, the shrimp fried rice and the tempura shrimp roll. Wow it was super delicious. Everything, was great that nothing tasted bad to me or my husband. I highly recommend recommend this place hands down. We will be back to try their other dishes and appetizers. You won't be disappointed!

    Tonkotsu Original Ramen
    Natasha B.

    I ordered the original tonkotsu ramen for take out and while the broth had good flavor it was definitely missing something. I like my ramen spicy so I got the chili oil on the side but it wasn't enough to get it at the right spice level. Meat tasted good but not as succulent as I would have liked. They also forgot the mushrooms and the fried garlic chips that it is supposed to come with, which made a huge difference- I felt like both of those would have added the texture I needed. Fried gyoza were food, edamame was pretty standard. They forgot to give the deep spoons as well. Positives were that order was ready quickly, friendly service. Worth trying again in person I think though.

    Gyu Don Beef Bowl
    Aaliyah L.

    Stopped here because it seemed like a lowkey gem with good reviews and I wasn't disappointed. I tried the spicy chicken ramen, takoyaki octopus balls, Las Vegas roll, and the gyu don beef bowl. It's a pretty small place and you're not going to get amazing service, but the food was very tasty and and worth a try. I thought I wouldn't like the texture of the octopus balls, but I actually enjoyed them and I think the ramen is especially good for beginners. The sushi roll was good as well, I was just too full to finish it! I wish they were BYOB!

    Super cute little ramen spot that takes their broth seriously. I really appreciate that they have chicken broth since veggie broth is the norm substitute for non-pork eaters. The chicken broth hit the spot as its more flavorful than the veggie broth I'm usually forced to order. The dining room is cute, clean and simple. I was in on a week night so even though it was one person manning the front for both pick up and dine-in customers, we didn't feel abandoned. I'd def go back when in the area.

    Any thoughts on preference for E Ramen or Shinya also in Bridgeport?

    I prefer the ramen and karaage(!) at E Ramen, but Shinya has a more fun atmosphere and boozy options to pair with your food.

The place was rather dimly lit, which actually made for a nice dinner-time ambiance. It's relatively small inside, so the fact that it was busy led us to just take two seats at the bar. The service at the bar was fantastic and, while the bartenders were quite busy, they were very good about repeatedly checking in on us. I ordered the chicken shio ramen, and my wife ordered the kimchi and fried chicken ramen, which the waitress/bartender told us was the most popular. Both of these dishes were absolutely incredible, and both were large, but not overly filling portion sizes. It was $17-$18 per ramen bowl, which isn't cheap, but it's also not too expensive for being right in the middle of the city. This is my new favorite ramen place in Chicago, and it comes highly recommended by me for anyone who is wanting to try it!

My sister and I (who live…read moreout-of-state) have been talking about the last ramen experience we had here and couldn't wait to have it again! Well folks, the opportunity arose again with us both being in Chicago and we hopped right on it! We popped in on a Saturday evening, right after the dinner rush, and were promptly seated. We grazed over the menu lightly, since we already knew what we wanted to order: the chicken karaage and tuna poke as appetizers, the premium signature gyukotsu for myself, and the prime shoyu for my sister. Everything was brought out quite quicky and it was all SMASHINGLY delicious! The chicken kaarage was fried to perfection and paired beautifully with the spicy mayo, the tuna poke was fresh and a perfect palate cleanser, and both of the bowls of ramen we ordered were beautifully composed with the most harmonious of flavors. I was WOW'd by the premiere bowl! While a bit pricier than the rest of the ramen options, it was loaded with a variety of proteins, the noodles were just the right amount of chewy, and the marinated egg was *chef's kiss*. A HUGE shout out to the waitstaff, who were incredibly kind, and checked in on us throughout our meal experience. The overall ambience and vibe of Gyuro Ramen is always so enjoyable! It's a spot great for a date - whether with a friend or love interest - where you can have great conversation over a great meal. My recommendation remains the same as last time: HIGHLY RECOMMEND and will certainly be returning again soon!

We ordered steamed dumplings for the kids, but they couldn't eat those cuz of the spicy powders. The staff came over and told us they can't remove the spicy powder from the dumplings. But, like, they could've just not sprinkle the powder on top, it's not like it's part of the filling?! She left for a while and eventually came back and said they could give us another one without the spicy powder. But seriously, who sprinkles spicy powder on steamed dumpling? I don't think any Asian cuisine does that as a default. We had a large party and two household ordered extra noodles, they only brought out one initially. When we asked for the second one, they got all confused, and they had to check all our bills to make sure they didn't give us extra noodles and that we were billed properly. Seems a bit disorganized if they can't handle a party of 10. We correctly guessed that it was non-Japanese people running the shop based on the dialect they spoke... but alas, it's expected that Asians from that region would give us that type of attitude lol so we forgive them for it. Now onto the actual food, it was just OK. My husband ordered a yasai and my oldest ordered a kinoko. I ordered a rosu for the kids. The flavors are not bad but nothing really stood out. The duck meat wasn't as tender as it could be. The kids didn't really like the dumpling/gyoza fillings either. For the price, I really expected better. I got the wakame seaweed salad and the hiyatakko. The wakame salad is just your store bought wakame mixed with some leafs, and the hiyatakko is nothing like the Japanese flavor, it's more Chinese and the tofu they selected isn't even the silky one, so it's actually bland and chalky with very weak chili oil flavor. The presentation is all pretty good tho. Looks good, but tastes are all just mediocre. We probably won't try this place again, at least not this location.

In no way had my body rested. Donned in dawn, my underwear-pajamas slightly slid down revealed a sad vision of man, sloppily tangled in ruffled sheets. Exposed. There is nothing pretty about me, I thought, as I pondered if the sunlight were judging what it saw. Before reaching my current perch on the living room couch, I sat in bed flicking through news in search of something good, but simultaneously only pausing on the bad. Glorifying in the doom, really. It was the pinch I needed to prove I was indeed awake. All day I seek the pinch of pain to prove I am not dreaming. Coffee, cats, clothes, splashof water, and 20 steps later I find myself in the planning pose, here in the living room. The planning pose is very much like the wake-startle, sans the sheets and exposed crack. It involves me laying here on the couch actually reading the articles I perused earlier. I like to rationalize that the information gleaned is to set me up for a day of human interaction. Perhaps it is a study session to get up to human-social-speed. Right now it is dawning on me -- my second uninvited dawn of the day -- that perhaps behavior isn't responsible humanity, it is prolonged self torment. The tighter pinch. The proverbial purple nurple of challenging my awakened state. Cats gather around me. One at my feet and the other curled beside my thigh. Am I king to them? They are fed. Surely they are not here in need of something. Have I done something to warrant this attention? My affection toward them is inconsistent. It ebbs in startling fits of overly attentive playing or petting followed by long droughts of disregard. My ambivalence as their king gives me this luxury, and supports my theory that they may think I am indeed king. This is the type of cyclical example loop I am using as evidence to propel me from the underwear'ed fat man the sun observed moments ago. Evidence that says: "See, Sun, I am more than the larva you spotlighted. I am a god! The cats are evidence! And they sleep in your sun-puddles in undisputed, recognizable perfection, not the ugly crack-exposed heap you found me in. You love them. They love me. So, pinch yourself, and stop judging me!" Obviously the coffee is working, or maybe the cats are doing their trick: making me feel accepted in the universe. Whatever the case may be, I pet my cat. Dander floats into the sun's beams and crystallizes in the air. If you've ever seen dust in a thinly sliced light beam at dawn you know: Hope is the accidental luck of shadows bouncing off of the chaos but always cutting through. Always meeting a surface. Penetrating the thickest of atmospheres and colliding on flowers and alleys, on well planned solar panels, on potholes, through any crack, on my crack, projecting obtuse triangles, acute bi-angles, and isosceles quad-tangles, even while penetrating deep into the sea, revealing all the magnificent details of art, and occasionally falling on me. Trees bend to it. I give the cat closest a good scratch behind the ear and look out the window at the trees greening in spring. A dog walker pauses to pick up excrement. A squirrel cowers behind a branch. The ramen restaurant on the corner is cut through by light warming empty tables; tables preparing to slurp up hungry, hopeful lunchers into the belly of contentment. Dark, seemingly an antagonist to light's hero demeanor, sheepishly slinks away, humbly realizing it is not the opposite of light, but the absence. "Beautiful," I think as I see the spicy broth of life warming in the sun glow beyond the glass. Yes. It is beautiful. It really is. I couldn't see how much in the dark but the rhythm out the window is now clear. I turn to my cat, who is winding down a purr. We share a slow-blink gaze at one another as the last sliver of dawn is replaced with shadow in my house. He moves to the window sill to soak in every second as it departs. "Welp, buddy. Nothing left now. Time to bend to the light"
