Quality is akin to a good ramen restaurant in Chicago. Menu is creative. I think it's really good. Not too expensive but not cheap, though. Use toasttab for deals makes it extra worth it read more

went here on a date with my boyfriend on a sunday afternoon and we were the only people there . as soon as we got our food our table was surrounded with gnats. there was an exit door to the outside and they had it propped open so i'm sure that made it worse. they also gave me a bowl with a chip in it and i didn't realize until i had finished my food. food was okay but i wouldn't go here again! read more

Ramen District - Ramen Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

I've only experienced a carry out order here, but I will definitely be back to dine in at some point in the future. This is located in the crown point courthouse which makes for a very cool vibe. It feels almost speakeasy-esque because it isn't easy to find it from the outside, but the atmosphere is outstanding. I got some ramen and I absolutely love that they offer gluten free noodle options, which is lacking from most ramen places in the area. The ramen I got was the smoked chicken shoyu and it was absolutely delicious and evenly portioned with all of the toppings. It was a great portion size and I am so excited to try more menu options!! read more

After a very cold outdoor soccer game, a bowl of warm Ramen sounded perfect! We went to Ramen District and overall loved the experience. The restaurant's atmosphere is super cool aa it's located in the basement floor of the old courthouse. The food was fantastic! We tried two different types of ramen, loaded tots (outstanding) and Bao buns. Everything was hot, fresh and served quickly. The only flaw was that the music was quite loud which made it hard to talk to each other and our service. But for the rest of the experience- I can deal with it! read more

I loved the pork chasu ramen, chicken dumplings, and Tokyo twilight cocktail. Very yummy and great night time atmosphere during karaoke night. read more

Ramen District - Tokyo Twilight cocktail - Ramen Near Me - Crown Point, Indiana

Don't fall for the hype! The food is below average at best. The chicken dumplings served to me were burnt and split open on the sides. The chicken shio ramen was extremely weak in taste and presentation. I will give them the benefit of the doubt for the bad food, but first impressions are everything. I do not recommend this place. Do yourself the favor, save your time and money by looking up at-home ramen recipes on TikTok and/or YouTube. read more

Sadly I gave such a low review because the food in my opinion was not good. My husband and I ordered the birria ramen , the pork belly ramen, edamame, and the tots. The broth in the pork belly ramen had such an off putting smell and just no good flavor balance, the birria ramen did not taste like anything either. I do not like to compare places because each business is different but we have had ramen at different locations so we have an idea of what good ramen taste like. The food looks good but flavor wise it needs work. However the ambiance is nice and we ordered a drink that was delicious. read more

We dined at Ramen District on a Friday evening around 5pm. The restaurant was empty but because we were 3 adults and a baby they put us in the hall so they could push a table together. We were right under an air conditioner and it was freezing. I hate to be that person but we asked to move. Still kept us in the hall. My grandma wasn't thrilled about eating in the hall area. Later in our meal I also overheard the people across from us talk about being cold. It was enough to completely ruin your meal because you are shivering. The brown sugar Boba was amazing. The entire table loved the beef brisket boa buns. I wasn't that impressed with my main of the miso pork ramen. It was "ok" but nothing to write home about. The service while nice was lacking. We had to ask 2x for a high chair. We had to ask for plates when they brought out the starter. We had to ask for utensils because we couldn't eat the buns with our chop sticks or get them out of the dish (and they didn't bring enough) and at the end of the night we had to ask for a bag for our to go containers. I felt like we were constantly having to stop our server to ask for something that should be a given. We shouldn't have to ask for plates..... again the servers were pleasant and would bring them out but I hated having to ask so much. If you do eat inside the ambiance looks great for a date night and as others have said the building is in the old court house so it definitely has a "vibe". read more

I ordered the beef lo mein and got it with only broccoli, beef and noodles no extra vegetables that they normally would put in there. Well, the quantity was good for the money, but almost every piece of beef that I chewed on had gristle and fat. The sauce tasted more of a soy sauce Than a beef lo mein sauce. I also did not like how the beef was in little pieces throughout. Unfortunately I will not be back to this establishment because there is a much better option out there for a beef lo mein. read more

Total update. My initial review still stands, however, went back last night because, again, my friend wanted to go. And it's HER birthday so how do I say no? I don't. Cuz she's amazing and I lurve her. I got the Farm Salad. So good. And Skye got the Drunken Noodles. I didn't try it but it looked amazing. That's what I'm gonna get next time. The staff is as cool as ever and just yeah... Parking remains the same. You've been warned. read more

normally pretty good and I get takeout here a decent amount but I got the chicken bao buns today and the chicken they gave me was frozen chicken tenders... on top of that the meat portion in my ramen felt a bit small but that may just be my perspective. ultimately a bit disappointed. read more

Freakin' excellent... all of it! Not only was the food out of this world , the portions were ginormous! Absolutely loved eating in the hallways that John Dillinger once roamed as well on his way to his cell. I've seen the downstairs of the old courthouse when I was a kid back in the 80s and I love what they've done with the place!! it was my husband's birthday so he selected a very nice Japanese whiskey as they do have a very nice selection of sake and whiskey as well as craft cocktails. As for the food we started with the smoked wings. The marinade was black, garlic, maple and saki sprinkled with a nice tuxedo, sesame seed and oh my wow!!! The flavors were outstanding, probably the best wings I've had in years! The wings were also super meaty and juicy and they bring out steamed towels for your hands, a nice touch. My husband enjoyed the chef special of the evening which was a black truffle Ramen bowl with oyster mushrooms, snow peas, bean sprouts, and a little pork belly and oh so good! Definitely worth the 15$. I couldn't choose as usual, because there was so many things I wanted to try. I had studied the menu before wanting to have the Thai fried rice with the crab, but they were out of the crab so I asked the server what his favorite things were, and I chose one of them which was the Birria Ramen. It was unreal right down to the tiny little details. There was no way I could finish the broth as it was pretty rich, however, extremely good. I highly recommend Ramen district. We will be back and time again especially because the great service sealed the deal! He was super helpful , attentive and friendly.... Plus he has good taste in old punk music. It was cozy, not too loud and we made sure to ask the server questions. Check it out read more

Been wanting to try this place out for a while and finally did last night. The restaurant is nestled on the north side of the famous Crown Point courthouse. We arrived around 6:30 on a Wednesday night for dinner and it was fairly busy. It's a small restaurant with only a few tables and a bar. There are also overflow tables in the hallway just outside of the restaurant. We sat at the bar and took in the ambiance. The music was loud alt rock/punk which made it difficult to have a conservation. Definitely more of a hipster bar vibe. Wife ordered a pear martini drink and I tried one of the Japanese whiskeys. We both enjoyed the drinks. The bartender was attentive but the food took quite a while. I ordered the short rib ramen and wife had drunken noodles with chicken. Drunken noodles came out first, but they put it in front me so naturally I started eating it. I got about halfway through when they brought my actual order out. Oops! Wife wasn't happy but her dish was really good lol. Better than mine actually. My dish tasted more like TexMex than Ramen. It was ok but probably wouldn't get it again. Bartender took off my whiskey because our food took so long. Overall decent food, decent service and loud. Not inclined to return but you never know. read more

The Ramen was excellent. The broth was not too salty and the noodles had just the right bite. The dish had a variety of vegetables, and egg, pork. The tempora green beans were are hard pass.

The flavor they can pack in a single bowl of ramen is incredible. If you are a ramen fan at all, this place is legit! We had the pickled pickle appetizer and the Pork Belly Boa Buns; both amazing. Four different bowls and they all were bursting with flavor. The place has an awesome vibe, full bar with great cocktails, and wonderfully prepared food. Worth the price and the trip. We will definitely be back very soon. read more

"It's like beer, right?" That quote above is what my wife asked me seconds after the bar tender walked away to fulfill her drink order. I have definitely been here before. Not at Ramen District or even even a Sake Bar, but in this predicament with my wife. Do I tell her that Sake neither tastes or hits "like beer" or do I let her come to this inevitable conclusion on her own? It would make sense that if one was to offer a warning or clarification based on personal experience the recipient of said information would be able to make a sound decision using the data provided. This does not apply to rhetorical questions so unfortunately for your author, the Sake anecdote I had at the ready would fall on deaf ears. The Sake flight it is! She ordered the Smoked Chicken Shoyu Ramen and I, the Drunken Noodles, but only after we shared the Tempura Shrimp appetizer which didn't stand a chance. It's a must try! The entrees were amazing. Full transparency, my tastebuds are still on the mend after a bout of Covid that left me smell-less and tasteless for over a year. Regardless of my diminished capacity to enjoy the subtle nuance of every seasoning and spice, I soldiered on. This is precisely why I sought out an abstract dining experience. I need the exotic flavors to thrive. I just want to feel normal again and if that means spicy Asian cuisine and/or savory Indian food, then Dakara sore de! The food here is great and the ambiance inside the restaurant is as unique as any ramen-ten located in a white, suburban northeast Indiana town could possibly be. The decor is beautiful, the service is prompt, and the staff is engaging and insightful. It is though, entirely possible that I'm a bit bias as a result of the bartender asking me if I was a famous person. If I was a single man on a date I would've slipped him a $50 for the glow-up, but since I'm a married man, the only result from my lady was a dramatic eye roll and a snarky, "yeah, ok." Around the time I finished my entrée, my wife was putting the finishing moves on that Sake flight I mentioned earlier. I should also point out that she was also simultaneously invested in a beer and 1/4 of a second one , when I excused myself to community facilities. This is where and when I calibrated the overall Scoville level of the Drunk Noodle bowl I just enjoyed. I'm estimating it somewhere between 50 and 100K, but my measuring equipment hasn't been professionally calibrated. When I returned to her side, she promptly informed me she required some fresh air to ensure she would be able to remain upright and functional. It was like that time Micky Ward dented the liver of Alfonso Sanchez with less than 1:30 to go in round 7. She was gonna need to take a knee. I had to walk to the car and bring it around to fetch her. That is some good Sake, folks. We were both delighted with that meal and were even more happy than I got to be home by 9 instead of having to troth around the square like every other sucker. I will definitely return to Ramen District because it was excellent and because it's enough. I can be assured that after drinking and dining at Ramen District my wife won't make me go to five other places before we call it a night. It won't even be possible. read more

I honestly hate saying this...I really really do. It's not great. It's trying hard but there is such simplicity to great ramen broth that they are missing big time. The minute I saw the color I knew I wasn't returning. There are things being done right..soy egg was good, pork belly was good and the wood eat mushrooms were great but it's all about the broth and that just needs work badly. Aside from that the appetizers and drinks are high for what you are getting and the rest of the menu doesn't hit the ramen vibe but a cluster of other things Asian inspired. read more

Overall we really enjoyed our experience at Raman District. They have only been open a week when we went. They opened at five and there was a line of people trying to get in. They need to work on timing a little bit, I feel dishes came out a little too quickly so I could not enjoy my appetizer and my drink. I've eaten Ramen a round the world including in Japan and I thought the taste was right on par. They had some interesting twist for appetizers and for drinks. The highlight of the night was the desert which had bacon ice cream and miso caramel with Asian pear poached! read more

Finally was in the area and able to try Ramen District! This place had a great vibe and the staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered multiple things because we wanted to try pretty much everything on the menu. The Gyoza dumplings were so good and you have to get Bao Buns anytime you are eating Ramen and RD's didn't disappoint. I ordered the Drunken Noodle with chicken thigh and was super happy with my choice. My husband, who is the Ramen connoisseur, ordered the Tantanmen Ramen and confirmed that it was also delicious. We loved the vibe, food and location. You can visit other shops in the building too after you eat! read more

My best friend, evelyn, and her mom, April, took me to this place. Both me and evelyn got the veggie miso. The egg in it was so good. It was a hard boiled egg with the yolk runny. The service was great! The waitress offered us forks also if we didn't want to use the chopsticks provided for us. I loved the environment, as it gave a good vibe to it. You could sit inside the place or outside, either way you were still inside a building. I suggest this place a lot! Also, for picky eaters, you can get fried rice instead of the ramens or pad Thai. read more

Nope.. They fail Sadly they get 1* 1) service- the waiter was very un inattentive. It was difficult to get his attention during and before the place was busy. 2) I love ramen if it's on the menu, I order it. This place served it warm(ish) where it was just a bit over room temp. Then they placed a way to hard boiled egg in it. I wish I took a photo for you all to see it. However all places have an off day. read more
