Food great service is fast and delicious . They didn't use gloves in preparing my pork upon placing on ramen with bare hands ordered a broth to go was 7 dollars and received half a container. I carried out the remainder of my ramen , I asked the girl to put it in the container for remainder of ramen because I just had shoulder surgery and I noticed her pouring it in and then something must've fallen out and I saw her just pick it up and throw it back in. I love this place but might not come back . I should have probably said something but didn't . read more

I've done to the Ramen House Shinchan in the palatine location and didn't realize there was a Glenview location. This location is somewhat small. There's several bar style seats and a few tables and chairs. Fits around 19 people. I usually go with the tonkatsu but decided to change things up and get the shiyo. The broth is soy based and had a lonely slice of pork belly, bamboo shoots, green onions, egg, bean sprouts, and noodles. The noodles were slightly over cooked. Overall, I'll stick with tonkatsu next time. read more

Originally, we were going to go to Chicago Ramen in Wheeling but they were packed so we searched for something else nearby and ended up here. Very small location in a shopping center made up of other Korean businesses. They literally have 5 tables and a counter you can sit at. I would imagine they do a lot of takeout, because at 6:30 on a Friday evening, they weren't busy and getting a table was no problem. I had the Katsu Don rice bowl and my boyfriend had the Katsu Curry bowl. Our server was very friendly and helpful. Our food was excellent! I would definitely come back here. read more

Great spot for ramen, noodles are thin and the broth is very rich. It really lives up to its nameI gave 4 stars because I find the broth tad salty. The Takoyaki and Gyoza are just average, not home made. I heard other locations have more menu options. I will still go back for a good ramen. Service is exceptional. Everybody works as a team. The space is small, there are few tables but I prefer to sit at the counter to see all the ramen preparations. read more

My friends and I had to wait almost 40 minutes to get a table here on Saturday evening but eventually when we were seated our ramen came out quickly. Though last time we went they were able to substitute veggie broth into any of the ramen, this time my vegetarian friend had to order the specific veggie ramen. Luckily he liked it but he was limited in terms of menu options. I ordered the special shoyu garlic ramen which was pretty good, I just thought the broth was a touch oily for my taste but they do give you a good amount of noodles! My friend really enjoyed her yakisoba (which they were able to make vegetarian) and the edamame we ordered. If they were more chill with broth and topping substitutions I'd come here more often but for Glenview this is a great local spot! read more

Tried this place with my brother and some family friends while in town for work. I am a ramen fanatic, so I had to try it. This place reminds me of some of the small ramen shops in Japan. We were welcomed by all of the staff as we entered. The waitress was super friendly and made some awesome recommendations. We ordered gyoza to start and it came out fairly quick. They were crispy on the bottom in all the right ways. The waitress insisted we eat them right away because they were better fresh. She was right. I ordered the spicy miso ramen and my brother got the regular miso ramen with extra menma. The spicy miso was so good. It was spicy and warming with all the fixings. The egg on top was perfectly cooked and so satisfying. My brother really enjoyed his miso ramen. When he ordered the extra menma (marinated bamboo shoots) they legit gave him a small soup bowl of extra. Talk about getting your moneys worth. Overall this was a great spot with good service. Was it the best I have ever had, no. But I would go again. Give this place a try when you are in Glenview. read more

The place is really a 3.5 but Yelp doesn't do half star reviews so I'm defaulting to a generous 4. There are a few outstanding ramen spots in the Chicagoland area that I'm aware of and most of them are out of my way with most locations in the Northwest suburbs and Chicago. Oftentimes I'm not willing to go the distance so finding a decent Ramen spot less than a half an hour from the crib is a challenge. Ramen House Shinchan is within driving distance limits and with all the glowing reviews, I had to try them out. I've gone twice (both dine-in and take out) and I wouldn't say this is the best Ramen I've had but in fairness it's also not the worst. Service is courteous, often times prompt and their Ramen is decent. Typically, when I order ramen, I get the Tonkotsu. The broth is good and the noodles are nice and firm. The pork is sweeter than what I'm used to having. Sweet pork is not my preference and unfortunately the meat was overcooked on both visits. The price point redeems everything else which ensures a decent meal for value. My parents were with me during my dine-in visit and they chose to skip the ramen menu and ordered an entree (Curried Pork Katsu). I had a few bites. The pork meat was tender and I really enjoyed the crispiness of the fry. The curry sauce was nice and creamy and the pickled red pepper worked well with the hot steamed rice. The place is busy on the weekends so expect a wait at a table. Not sure if they do reservations but I would secure one if you can. Parking was a breeze with a decent sized lot shared with the Jong Boo market. read more

My friends and I came by for dinner one night around 8pm. This location is located right by Joong Boo market and has plenty of parking outside. When we walked in the only seating that was available was at the ramen bar. But another table got up shortly after so we moved down so our party of 5 could hear everyone better. Shortly after we sat we ordered our food. I ended up getting the pork katsu with egg and my husband got the spicy tamago ramen. The portions are huge! The pork katsu had a never ending bottom and is plenty to share with two people. The pork katsu is crispy and the egg is more like a runny egg omelette and it was delish. A simple yet super flavorful dish. Drinks wise they didn't have very many option but did have a few Asian juice beverages. We stuck with water for this experience. They have clean bathrooms, but the only thing I had feedback on was that the soap dispenser wasn't working, and the only one that was working there's a giant label that says please do not use. Because I needed to wash my hands I used it but it was a weird oil (probably why I shouldn't be using it.) But thankfully they had plenty of hand sanitizer. All in all, we had a good experience and I would come back to try other things. This restaurant is family friendly. read more

I'm so happy the Glenview location opened up. Best ramen in Chicagoland. Been going to the Palatine and Vernon Hills locations for years. I go to one of the locations regularly. The ramen tastes the same as the OG, Palatine location. Portions are generous. I noticed yesterday they added a sushi menu. Service is great. The space is small so seating is limited. They also do carry out. read more

Finally was able to try their Ramen and Rice bowl. We ordered the Shio Ramen and Katsu Don. Shio Ramen was very tasty. They also have the kind of noodles that i like egg noodles so its a big plus! I just wish they had a side of corn. But still really good. Katsu don was good. The meat was a tad bit dry but i also think its missing a bit more sauce. Karaage was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Service was great! The place is a bit small so it does get busy. I will definitely be coming back to try more stuff on the menu. Happy eating! read more

10/08/23 - Tis the time of year where I crave a nice hot bowl of ramen is to fill up your stomach w/something delicious & hot. Ramen House Shinchan does that it's located in the shopping center w/Joong Boo in Niles. The entry for Ramen House is located on the backside opposite Milwaukee Ave next door to Paris Baguette. I've really grown to love the Tonkatsu Ramen broth for is rich creamy texture. The broth is cooked for 48 hours to get the full flavor from the pork bones. Absolutely delicious read more

Friendly and Attentive waitstaff. Limited seating. I quite enjoyed my spicy miso ramen, though the noodles could have cooked just a little more. My husband was less impressed with the tonkatsu ramen which he said was fatty and without depth of flavor. I would go back and try more of the menu. read more

We came here for dinner on a Friday night around 6:30 with a party of 7 (6 adults and a toddler). They don't reservations and you have to go there in person if you want to put your name on the wait-list, but the interior is pretty small and we had a large party so that's understandable. They were able to comfortably accommodate us though after about a 15-20 minute wait. The inside is clean with bar seating available, but no real waiting area so if you just put your name down and you have a larger party, you might as well chill at one of the neighboring shops until they text you that your table is ready. We ordered a chicken karaage for everyone and it was nice and juicy with a generous portion. I ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen just to see how they do with the standard dish. It was a little saltier than I expected, but the eggs and noodles were perfectly cooked. The meat was a little on the dry side though and could be more flavorful. I still liked the broth though and took home the rest to use with some noodles we have at home. My wife got the Tamago Taiwan Ramen and she enjoyed it. I tried some and it was tasty but a little spicy from the pork, but I also have low spice tolerance so there's that. We ordered a BBQ Don for our toddler and it's also a generous portion, so I ended up finishing it for her (which I was planning on doing anyway, haha). It was also good and I would consider getting that again next time. The servers were also very attentive and helpful and kept our water topped off. This place is definitely one of the better ramen restaurants in the area so we're glad they opened one up here! We'll definitely be back! read more

Was happy to see that they are expanding. They opened in a perfect location, next to two of my most visited establishments. I came late, right before they closed but got seated. I went with tonkotsu ramen and Karaage chicken. The chicken was awesome as I had at Palatine location. The ramen was good as well, rich and bold broth. Was told there been open for a month. I wish them all the best in their new location!! read more

I pass by Ramen House Shinchan frequently but haven't had the opportunity to try it. FYI they do NOT take reservations and there are ~5-6 tables that seat 4 people and maybe 6 counter seats. Hubby dropped by to put our name down so we wouldn't have to wait in person (there's literally no space to sit down and wait) and it was ~20 minute wait for 9 people on a Friday evening. We ordered a large chicken karaage for the table to share and it was enough for each person to have a piece. The chicken was juicy but was on the blander side but it came with mayo and salt on the side. I wanted to try something new so I ordered the tamago Taiwan ramen (egg noodle in a creamy egg chicken broth with spicy ground pork, garlic, and scallions). It was interesting and tasted like a combination of steamed eggs and Taiwanese minced pork noodles. Hubby had the tonkotsu ramen (egg noodle in a rich pork broth with tender braised pork, soft-boiled egg, scallions and bean sprouts). He enjoyed his ramen and brought the broth home to make noodles for lunch the next day. However, it seemed like the pork was slightly tough. Our server checked in on us frequently and the food came out fast. Overall, we're glad Ramen House Shinchan opened up a location nearby and we will be back again! read more

I've been eyeing this spot and waiting for it to open everytime I'm by Joong Boo. Finally made it in on a Thursday evening and I was slightly worried that it might be busy for the dinner rush. We lucked out and was able to get the only table for 2 that was available. Their menu was simple but had so many options. We ended up doing the small Karaage to try as well as the gyoza. Both were excellent and I might have filled up on them before my ramen arrived. I ended up getting the tamago Taiwan ramen which was a creamy eggy broth that reminded me of egg drop soup. It's my ideal broth consistency and what I try to do whenever I make my own instant ramen at home. I'm pleased that they have this option here because it's way more flavorful and elevated than my instant version at home. I also saw that they have rice bowl dishes so I'm looking forward to eating my way through this menu. read more

New ramen spot in Glenview! I came to Ramen House Shinchan on a Wednesday evening and we were the only guests. Maybe because it was 100° out lol. But our waiter quickly got us seated, gave us water, and took our order. I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen and my sister ordered the Tonkatsu Ramen. Our order came out in, I kid you not, less than 5 minutes. We were both shocked at how fast it came out haha but our bowls looked and tasted amazing! The Spicy Miso Ramen was pretty spicy! The broth was flavorful. I loved the egg noodles and the vegetables in my bowl. My sister said her bowl was one of the better ramens she's had. I agreed! We both loved the perfectly soft boiled egg. Price point was good for how big the bowls were. The space is fairly small with 5 two person tables and a couple of bar seats. Everything was clean. Overall had a great experience! Staff was friendly and food was great. I would love to come back and try some of their appetizers next time. Definitely recommend! read more

It may be a chain, but the quality of the food is consistent, the service was great, the staff were very accommodating. We tried their different selections of ramen, katsus and sides. Katsu curry will always be my favorite. Good portions. It gives you that Hole In The Wall feeling. Tables enough to accommodate anyone who wants a quick bite. The manager was very helpful and attentive. It's my go to place for katsu curry. read more

DELICIOUS and GREAT SERVICE! My first time here, I had the Tonkotsu per the servers recommendation when I asked her between 2 of the options. It was amazing! The flavor was great, the consistency was a little creamy like she said, the egg was cooked just right and the meat was tender. On top of the food being great, the service was top notch and the place was very clean. My waitress was so friendly, upbeat, and attentive. I will definitely be back! read more

I lovedddd the ramen house Shinchan in palatine and was super excited to see they have a new location closer to my office because I had no idea. I got the spicy miso ramen and my friend got the best condition. The broth is flavorful and right amount of spice because they have a dollop of spices for you to mix in. So you get to control the spice. The noodles are stringy and cooked well. I wasn't a fan of charsui. It tasted weird for me so I stopped eating it. I've had the best condition before and I really like that one a lot more than the pork based soup. It was lighter but still flavorful. I also like my ramen with a lot of veggies so the best condition ramen has all of that. Overall, this was decent. It's nice that it's close to my office for a gloomy day. read more

I'm still relatively new to ramen, so I don't really know how to analyze a bowl in detail, but I have to say, this checked all my boxes. We had the tonkotsu ramen and the miso ramen, and both were rich and flavorful, both the broth and the toppings, the best we have had since coming to the North Shore. The restaurant is tiny, but attractive with a clean, modern look. We came late on a Sunday, and they were not busy, but service was quick and attentive. We appreciated that they checked if we wanted anything more before they closed the kitchen, but we already got everything we wanted. Can't ask for better than that. read more

Impressive! We ordered three dishes, and they were all delicious with generous portions. I had best condition ramen and it was delicious. The veggies were perfectly seasoned, not overcooked, and the roasted garlic infused the soup with a delightful aroma and flavor. The only downside was that it wasn't as spicy as I'd prefer. What truly stood out, though, was the exceptional service. The server was incredibly attentive, anticipating our needs without us asking. When I put some of the ramen on the plate to share, she immediately brought an extra bowl and extra napkin because I made a little mess. She refilled our water glasses when it was half empty. When we finished our meal and ready about to pay, she brought the check and encouraged us to take our time. Mind blown my her attentiveness to her customers. We'll definitely return to try other soups on the menu and for the excellent friendly service. read more

Debated giving it 3 or 4 stars, and I'm going to go with 3 given the prices and my perceived value (portion vs. price for the things I've personally ordered/eaten--not sure about the rest of their menu). The place is quaint and its small size reminds me of the ramen shops back in Japan. Love that the kitchen is open and that you can see everything if you're sitting at the bar. The service has been good the times I've been there--everyone has been friendly and helpful, and even when it gets packed, they don't really rush you. My main issue is with pricing. I ordered the BBQ don dish and since I'm counting protein intake, I weighed it when I got home (ordered to-go). The dish was 90% rice, with only five (5) ounces of beef for a whopping $18 total, after tax. I couldn't believe it--I almost called the place to let them know, but I had no desire to leave the house AGAIN in this cold weather. Likewise, I feel the ramen is expensive for the amount of noodles and meat. Now, I didn't blame this place, specifically, because ramen prices are downright ridiculous everywhere, but the beef situation was what pushed things over the edge. I'm glad there's a ramen place that also sells gyudon, but if you're going to charge these prices, make sure there's a proper portion. read more

Good portions for a decent price but wouldn't recommend it if you want some good ramen. Service was good though. The servers were welcoming and friendly. The ambiance is okay as it is a small place.

The pork from the ramen was sweet, and the toppings were mostly veggies like cabbage, onions and carrot. The curry was def better than the ramen. But overall, it can be improved on. read more
