I think it's a best Japanese spot I ever tried in USA. If it's lacking anything- meat from Japan??? Very tasty. Very rich. Big portions. Makes you feel warm in cold days
I went to Misoya during their opening month and came back for a quick dinner with friends. The ramen is pretty filling and heavy, so it makes for a great meal if you're starving! For me, I am fighting for my life to get through these delicious bowls. As far as ramen places, I think it's pretty solid! The cha-shu gets a nice char on it and has a good flavor. The only thing I have about my bowl is the fried tofu. The actual coating oil the tofu got soaked pretty fast and started falling off very quickly. Can't say if you can fry some tofu that is resistant to sitting in soup, but I would rather have regular tofu at that point. Still a solid ramen place!
Ordered carry out. 2 ramens and a half order of nooses with broth. Good thing we checked the bag before leaving the parking lot, because the broth for the noodles wasn't put in. Walked back in and showed the receipt and were given the broth. The dining room was full with people waiting in the entry hall. Looked like the entire kitchen was being manned by one overworked chef. The ramen was really tasty- very large portion of noodles and toppings. The pork chashu was tender and smoky. Really enjoyed the
My Ramen Misoya visit can only be described as a roller coaster experience. Two of my absolutely favorite food items in one sitting: fried chicken(karaage) and Ramen. Two things that I've probably consumed more in the past 10 years than most people in a lifetime. This was a chance I couldn't pass up. But seldom do I experience such disappointment, yet such euphoria in the same meal. Karaage: boy oh boy. Not only is this the best karaage, but this might be top 5 best chicken anything I've had ever. It's that good. Tender juicy chicken thighs(a chicken breast can only dream to be this juicy)....and that coating? The airy crispy batter is everything. As im eating, I'm sad that it will soon have to end. It's that good!! Cha su ramen: ok guys, I'm going to be honest. This just isnt it. First of all, how busy can a single bowl be? There's are actually so many ingredients, that it actually makes it hard to eat without the bowl being larger. But quantity does not equal quality. I'll admit the noodles are nicely chewy and the egg is immaculate. The perfect gooey ramen egg. That's where it ends. The chasu itself is way over grilled and has crossed over to the thick and tough to chew category. The ratio of cabbage is off. The potato wedge is unnecessary adds nothing. But the broth is the most flagrant offense here. Where's the rich flavor? Where's that umami? There are simply too many technical flaws to overlook. The karaage is worth the trip 10 times over. I came for the ramen, but if I left without experiencing the chicken karaage, there would have been a void left in my soul!
I've been here twice now and the food is really good. Ramen was simply amazing. The first time I came here had a little bit of a wait to get a Ramen but this time it arrived really quick. It's super delicious. It's very filling and bursting with flavors. I wish they had more broth options. They offer all the ramen with pork broth and they have a couple of vegetarian options. Hope they introduce beef and chicken broth too. Overall , I had a good experience. I would definitely be back again.
This food is incredible every time! Highly recommend the potato croquettes. It's awesome that they have a whole vegetarian menu!
The ramen is really good, but my friend and i both agree their spicy is not spicy enough for us. the reason for the low score is because the place was swamped with people and to go orders and they were way hehind, i felt sorry for the people who were their on the lunch break. Hire more people please
Got the Hokkaido Cha-Shu Ramen for $18.80 and small order of Karrage. I'm not a miso flavored fan, but definitely enjoyed their version without any reservation. The service was awesome, food came out quickly and water was filled without asking for more water. They have bar seating that goes around the kitchen and tables on the opposite side. I got here before 5 and it wasn't busy but the place got packed little after 5pm, so I would recommend you go before dinner rush.
Still going strong :) I remember when they first opened in the area I recommend the chicken karaage, fried battered chicken pieces, to start off. Then a big bowl of any (all?) of the noodles with soup.
When Ramen Misoya first opened, tables were at a premium, and there's a good reason for that: this suburbs spot truly hits the right notes for a simple ramen concept that gets the basics right. Try the chicken karaage for a treat. 90% of the time, it comes out perfect, and 100% of the time you'll probably find it superior to what you're used to.
There was a reason I didn't come back after so many years. My sister had never been here and wanted to meet up with a friend. I thought I would give it another shot, but I was less than satisfied. Aside from the portions and service being good, the ramen broth is sub par. Cute ramen shop, but the space is small that it can feel congested. It was fun to be seated up at the ramen bar though. Apps: Karaage chicken could use much more flavor. Even after I asked for extra lemon to squeeze on top. Shrimp tempura was really greasy. Dumpling wonton texture was good, but I'm not a fan of chives, and it was too much. Corn croquette was decent and fell apart after the first bite. But with all the apps, there was a generic sauce for each one, except the dumplings. The sauce was just missing a component. Ramen: We ordered 3 different ramen. Tokyo cha-shu, ISE cha-shu, and Tonkotsu spicy. It was so, so salty with no rich pork flavor or umami to balance the taste. It was disappointing to say the least. Our friend did not finish her spicy tonkotsu, while my sister and I fished out the noodles, eggs, and cha-shu so we didn't have to endure the salty broth. The egg though was cooked to a perfect jammy yolk. But the cha-shu was overly grilled to my liking. I've had better miso flavored ramen at other restaurants, but this place is not of of them. There is a vegetarian menu as well. Though Ramen Misoya is not for me, it may be for you.
The food was amazing! Definitely start by going on Yelp and joining the waitlist. The small little restaurant does tend to fill up fast on Friday-Sunday evenings. The service is fast and the waitress had great options for us vegetarian folks! It is quiet enough for a conversation but can feel congested for sure as it is a small space. I hope they will get a bigger space so everyone can sit and enjoy! The menu is all online so we pre-looked at it prior to going but quickly changed based on her recommendations. Please give this little mom and pop place a try! Winter is here Chicagoans and what better time than ramen! read more

Ramen was really good but the fried shrimp is what made it for me. Especially the sauce. Service was fast and waitress was on top of everything. read more

Since it was freezing outside, I figured some hot Ramen would do the trick. The place was pretty busy and based off the menu, they offer quite a variety of Ramen. After deciding on what to get, I got the Hokkaido kimchi. Very flavorful broth with great noodles finished off with some very good kimchi for a little spice and heat. Definitely recommend. read more

Today my son wanted to try the Mango Mochi Ice Cream as his birthday treat. He liked it so much that by the time I turned around it was gone. He said "It was really really good" Service was great! Thank you for making my son's birthday a happy one!!! read more

We came here for an early dinner. This is about the fourth time I've been here. The place was empty but was packed by the time we left. We had croquettes and fried oysters for appetizers and the chashu ramen for the main. Everything was delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive. Location and parking are not ideal but do not deter me from coming back each time. read more
Super cozy on the inside. Broth is great. Honestly my biggest problem is with the pricing. Half the topping I have to pay for I feel should already be included in a $15 bowl of ramen. Whatever. Fried tofu is perfectly done. Egg noodles are chewy and filling. Tokyo broth is slightly sweet very hearty read more

Located right next-door to a barbershop in case you don'thappen to see it the first time you drive by. The noodles were nice and al dente but I found the Ramen broth to be a little bland even though I got spicy. And I don't know what was going on that day with the Gyoza but mine were burned almost to the point where I could not eat them read more

What's not to like in this authentic artisanal ramen resto? World's best! Service is brisk and efficient. In spite of 3 groups of 2's, 4's and 3 people ahead of us they manage to sit us up within 10 minutes! not bad for a waitlist! Of course, the food! World's best ramen! I opted for the lighter Tokyo normal ramen... So healthfully delish with 2 big slices of silky tofu and open face hardboiled egg! Sheer soup galore! Ambience is casual with friendly vibes. It beckons to have you come several more times in the future in your dreams or in person! read more

This is our FAVORITE ramen around the suburbs! We've tried others in Hoffman Estates and Schaumburg, etc and this one tops them all! Flavor - on point, service - on point and always looking forward to seeing the young man who serves us every time, ambience is always lively and positive. Highly recommend read more

Honestly some of the best ramen I've ever had, the Char-Shu In the ramen was perfectly smoky and tender. Next time I'm here I'll probably get more of the Fired Shrimp on top, crispy and flavorful... felt like I was the boiler-man from Spirited Away lol 5 stars, would indeed recommend read more

Maruchan Ramen vs Misoya I'll keep this "expert" review short. damn! 5 years on the todo list and finally tried them out. Saturday around 2 right at the end of lunch rush so waited about 25min but once end the crowd had died down. Hit with a ton of flavors I hadn't experienced before. A must try. read more
Still my favorite ramen joint. Last time we tried coming here, the place was closed due to a fire at the convenience store next door. The convenience store is still closed down and you can see the exterior fire damage but it looks like RM was unscathed. And because the convenience store is closed down, the whole parking lot is pretty much open for parking. Ordered my usual Hokkaido Miso with extra noddles so I could share with 2 kids. We also got an order of chicken karaage- it's a must when you're getting ramen. Everything about it was wonderful and it sure hits the spot when you're craving ramen. The chashu is cooked to perfection, along with noodles, and the savory broth is good to the last drop. With the fall coming in, I'll be stopping by more often to enjoy ramen on a cool day. Love me some Ramen Misoya. read more
Although this was a bit further out of the way for me, I am so happy that I came here. When you get there, you're in a very unassuming parking lot. When you enter, there's a sheet to sign in because it of course is very busy! Not many spots to sit, but there is a bar and some tables. The smell is amazing while sitting in the waiting area. There's an ad for Yakisoba (coming soon in August!). At first it was just us in the waiting area, then it soon started to fill up! There's a condensed menu to view to get an idea of what you want. The wait wasn't all too long and we were sat at a table. There's a full menu with all the descriptions of the food and wonderful pictures. I got the pork fried rice, karage chicken and hokkaido ramen with extra shoyu egg. We ate the karage chicken too fast for a photo! Soooo good! We got a small, which had a good number of pieces, but it was so delicious that I wish we got a large size! I loved the pork fried rice so much. I could eat that every day and be happy. It was so light and flavorful with delicious little pieces of pork, kamaboko (fish cake) and egg. The ramen was also delicious and came in a HUGE bowl. I really overestimated my ability to eat all this! The flavor was also very rich and satisfying. I was uncertain about the potato wedges at first, but when they were soaked in the broth, they were amazing. Give it a try! There are different descriptors for the ramen depending on how rich or sweet you'd like it I'd love to come back and try out their other ramen! That upcoming yakosoba looks awesome too. read more

The inside of this restaurant reminds me of Japan and I love it. The broth of both Ramen were probably the best I've had in the states. The noodles had a great texture too. The only complaint I have is that the egg is not marinated as much but everything else tasted absolutely wonderful. If you are near O'Hare airport or looking for a great Ramen spot, this place is it! read more

This is my favorite ramen place in Chicagoland. I am back in town for a business trip and stopped by after landing at ORD. I ordered Fried Calamari and Tokyo style Chashu Ramen. As expected, they are very yummy. The ramen comes with three huge slices of chashu pork and garnished with bamboo shoots, slightly batters fried tofu, bean sprouts, minced pork and green onion. read more

The food and service were fantastic. We started with gyoza and I added bean sprouts to my ramen. The chicken katsu was made to perfection. This is my second or third time here. Highly recommend this place. Pro tip: go at off peak times to avoid long lines. read more

Hands down one of the best ramen joints in the west suburbs. The cha shu pieces are thicker and have an awesome char-grill flavor. The spicy miso has a decent amount of spice to it but not overwhelmingly hot. Not pictured but the chicken karaage is also very good. read more
Quick and good service. Takoyaki still delicious! Raman so- so. I thought we are getting pork pieces no matter is it Hokkaido or Tokyo, but no. Last time I ordered Hokkaido and didn't have it. It seems that we had to order it additionally. Don't know why, when the photo of it obviously shows it is supposed to be inside. read more
This restaurant is always busy so highly recommend going early or during off hour or calling ahead! The vegetarian ramen is delicious and they have multiple options to choose from for toppings. I personally love the potato wedges as they are so filling. The serving size is huge so order accordingly. The broth and veggies and flavorful and it's def a go to for when I'm in the burbs and looking for a cozy meal. read more

I've been here multiple times throughout the last four years, and I was very impressed with my recent 2023 visit. The Yelp check-in kiosk at the door is a huge improvement. Got seated at the counter after a 10-15 minute wait on a Saturday night for a party of two. (Table seating typically takes longer) It smelled so good in the restaurant, like barbecue :) There are various ramen types on the menu and its descriptions are really helpful when you are trying to decide which one you want. I ordered the Tokyo Yasai Ramen with 1 piece of Cha-Shu and it was a huge, delicious portion. read more

Very flavorful, heavy broths with a good assortment of toppings. My boyfriend and I got the karaage, Hokkaido miso and Tokyo miso chashu ramens. Both were very flavorful and on the saltier side. Hokkaido miso ramen: very rich and full-bodied. The toppings like the potato wedge and corn complement the rich savoriness of the soup. The egg in both ramens was amazing. Flavorful, jammy, easily one of the best ramen eggs in the area. Chashu is great as always but it's definitely for the meat lovers. It was a bit too much meat for me, but my boyfriend happily are both his and my portions. The chashu is thick cut and grilled on the spot. Tokyo miso ramen: also rich, but slightly lighter and sweeter than the Hokkaido ramen. I love the tofu topping on this. It just soaks up all of the broth. Karaage: a must get for me every time. It's light, not over-battered and so juicy. I prefer the Tokyo ramen, but my boyfriend liked the heartiness of the Hokkaido more. As a personal preference, it's a bit too heavy for an every day ramen. But it's an amazing special occasion ramen if you want to treat yourself. read more

What is yasai noodles how is it different from normal?
Regular ramen noodles are made of flour. Yasai noodles, literally "vegetable noodles," are usually made of a plant-based flour, like soy or konnyaku, which is made from the arum root.
Does anyone know of the ramen noodles are egg noodles, or egg free? TIA
Egg noodles
