Marina B.

I ordered food from this place--mala spicy ramen. The food arrived very nicely packaged; honestly, I've never received a delivery in such a nice bag. However, as a big ramen lover, I have to say I wasn't particularly impressed with the ramen. It was a bit greasier than others I've tried, and I think the cilantro gave it an off-putting flavor. I will definitely give this place another chance, but I'll try something other than ramen next time.

Tried this place after seeing the giant bubble tea statute outside. Inside they have fun claw machines (you get free tokens with purchase of food) as well as Asian snacks! I ordered a sushi burrito and a bubble tea! What I loved about the bubble tea is that it's freshly brewed and not one of those powder places. I also love that you can customize the amount of ice and sugar you want! Service was really friendly and my food came out in a cute reusable bag. I tried the claw machine and had a great time at Taichi Bubble tea. Plenty of free parking including spots for pick up!

Chicken Rice Bowl
Jazmin R.

The ordering process is slightly confusing. They have paper sheets where you can mark what you want and take it to the counter, they have ordering kiosks at the entrance as well for certain items (at least that's what the sign says) but then it appeared to have the full menu, then there's employees at the front who can take your order as well. Unsure of why there's different options but I'm sure it's just new beginnings of seeing what works best for the business. Once order is placed, you can watch the team prepare your food in front of you since it's laid out in individual containers (think subway or chipotle). I got the chicken rice bowl and the ingredients all tasted fresh which was good. There's quite a bit of seating inside and lots of cute Panda trinkets for purchase (stuffies, keychains, etc.) Definitely a cute spot I can see people hanging at.

Truffle ramen bowl topped with beef
Elana K.

Not bad, but I prefer other ramen places for the price. I tried the truffle ramen here, which was $17. The amount of noodles in the bowl was reasonable - not too much, not too little. I feel like the seaweed may have overwhelmed the truffle flavor a bit, so I would omit the seaweed if I try it again. I asked for spicy paste on the side, allowing me to control the spice level without further overwhelming the flavor. Finally, I selected beef for my protein choice, and received tender, flavorful slices of black pepper steak atop my bowl. This was one of the best parts of my dish. My husband got the tonkatsu ramen, which he liked fine, but again, we have other options we prefer for tonkatsu ramen when it comes to value, quantity, and quality. The bubble tea was not bad. I got the Passonfruit "Infruit" Tea with lychee jelly, and it was as tasty as anywhere else, and plenty big. The best thing about Taichi for us is proximity to our house. Definitely more convenient to visit than some of the other "destination" ramen places we might go to. You place your order at a touch screen, pick up your own food from the counter, and bus your own table.

Walking in at Taichi is very exciting because our family loves boba. When you walk in there's plenty of stuff animals displayed and a variety of lays, Oreos in different flavors. Venue: is clean and open. They have kiosk to use if you know what you want to order. They have rewards points if you sign up as a member. Parking: ample private parking Price: comparable to other boba place Drinks: there are lots of different drinks to choose from. I've personally tried the infruit and fruit tea. I like less ice, no sugar w boba and popping jellies Staff: very friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend trying this place. Enjoy!

This is the fast casual for ramen and poke bowls and sushi burritos plus boba tea drinks. Order at the kiosk or in person and they also have fill-in sheets. The bowls and burritos are very customizable so it's good to see all those options in front of you. Seriously, it's like "choose up to 4 veg" or "choose up to 16 toppings" so it can get pretty crazy. The ramen and the boba tea have a lot of options as well, but they cost a little extra. There are only 5 or 6 main proteins - but it's how you mix it up with the toppings and extras that make it custom. The place is new and clean and modern. But it just opened up, so it gets that pass. The actual food is nice and unfussy. I got the tonkotsu ramen and the burrito sushi. The ramen was good without being pretentious. I don't want to say a little boring/standard - but that's OK too! The burrito sushi was very difficult to eat like a burrito. I promise! I didn't overstuff it. Two proteins, two veg, and three topping... but it still spilled out a lot. I don't know what the solution is? The boba tea is good and they have no problem with customizing ice and sugar levels. So, in terms of fast casual ramen and sushi... it's a winner!

Taichi Bubble Tea has poke, ramen, rice boxes, boba, coffee, and stuffed animals! It's kind of like if a food court and gift shop had a baby. It's big, clean, and quiet. I had a three-protein poke bowl and a dalgona coffee. I know. What a combo right? Well it made sense in my head. Fresh ingredients, friendly staff, food was decent. I'll be back to try more... and maybe leave with a stuffed animal or two. Welp! Onto the next!

I would give 4 stars for Taichi Bubble Tea. It's a brand new location, this used to be a Boston Market - the inside looks very nice brand new and remodeled. If you want a restaurant to compare this with, think Poke Bros - bowls, salads and ramen/bubble tea drinks. The food was good, they initially forgot to add the most important ingredient to my poke salad (the poke) lol. No big deal though, they gave me the poke when I noticed it - but check your online orders before you leave. I'd also recommend Taichi adds siracha as a condiment - they don't have it currently. The salad/bowl was really good - the poke tasted really fresh, and the portion size was decent. I'll have to come back to try their bubble tea/ramen another time. Overall, I recommend a visit to Taichi Bubble Tea.

We finally made it to Taichi Bubble Tea in Mount Prospect, and it absolutely lived up to everything we expected. We had actually ordered through DoorDash before and loved it so much that we had to experience it in person and I'm so glad we did. There's tons of parking, plenty of interior seating, and the whole place is super clean and welcoming. You order through the Kiosk. We ordered ramen and the Pokémazing bowl both were fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect spicy kick. Truly delicious and fresh. My 4-year-old daughter got the burrito and devoured it, which says a lot! The boba was delicious as well. The most fun part? Depending on how much you spend, they give you tokens for their prize machines. My daughter won FOUR stuffed animal she was over the moon! Such a fun and unexpected bonus that made the whole experience even more memorable. Friendly staff, amazing food, fun atmosphere we will absolutely be back and highly recommend it!

TaiChi is an absolute gem! Their Thai Iced Tea and Lemon Tea are some of the best I've had always refreshing and full of flavor. I've tried their sushi both as a bowl and as a wrap, and both were fresh and delicious. The ingredients taste high quality, and everything is made with care. Service was great.

Quick visit to the new location before the new year! I've been to Taichi locations prior to this one but this was the coolest! The claw machine, ramen, and snacks vibe was really cool. It was empty during NYE before close but I'm sure it's a great place to hang out. Great vibes, cool staff, and tasty drinks. Got the Dalgona iced drink with oat and boba. It tasted great! Also, shoutout to the fun staff, they clapped for us when my buddy got a Kirby out of the claw machine and gave him a bag to hold it in. I hope the place continues to thrive for the new year!

Kristianne B.

Cute little place for boba, sushi burrito and ramen. We ordered the mango tea, matcha/banana smoothie and the byo sushi burrito. Everything was really good. You can either order on the kiosk or order at the desk. Will have to come back to try others.

Jessica Y.

Great addition in Mt. Prospect for quality ramen and bubble tea! So nice that you can just drop by on the whim for a quality, quick meal. Super casual where you order at the counter and seat yourself. I like the fact that you can really customize your ramen with all the ingredients they have for toppings after you choose the broth. The menu is extensive and so is their bubble tea menu. Worth trying a different one each time I visit.

Went to Hokkaido Ramen Santouka inside the Mitsuwa Marketplace. First thing I noticed the place was…read morepacked, like actually packed. 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.

Still our favorite ramen west of California. Actually, we went to Japan last year and though it…read morewasn't specifically a foodie trip and I didn't do ramen research before going, I was still comparing the ramen in Japan to this place inside Mitsuwa. And the result? Both hubby and I didn't find ramen in Japan much better than here! So I guess that says a lot. That said, this visit, I was underwhelmed. I had the salt ramen as always and it smelled gamey. Usually this happens when the soup or the meat isn't fresh. Never had this happen before, so I wasn't happy about it. So I'm knocking off a star. Friends had miso ramen and raved about it. I think the miso probably masked the gamey smell on theirs. Other than the smell, all ramen tasted great, I enjoyed the toppings, the noodles were perfectly cooked, and I'm still loving the place. Oh, and they're cash-less now. Card payment only. Funny, since before covid, they were strictly cash only.

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!

If customers are waiting before the restaurant opens, you know that you are in for a treat, right?…read moreI mean, this was our first time to Uma Japan Eatery (didn't know it was formerly Ramen USA) and we were a little confused when we arrived because there was signage for Uma, Ramen USA, and M Cafe. So we got out of the car and saw someone pull up in front of the restaurant and jump out at 11:59. As soon as the door was unlocked at 12pm, this customer went in, and a few others after them. This is a small joint, and it was already half full by the time we ordered, then sat down (they told us the table at which to sit). I didn't know, but asked, and found out that a salad bar and miso soup are also included. The salad bar was pretty decent, with fresh vegs. They even had French fried onions (my guilty pleasure) and a very good House dressing (ginger vinaigrette). The portions are enormous. The couple next to us got ramen, and it was practically overflowing. We ordered takoyaki (too much food, we didn't need). I had the Pork Katsu bowl and my companion had a Katsu curry. I wished I had ordered the curry -- it looked dark and rich and thick like pudding (not like a boxed curry). They also gave us a bonus piece of chicken karaage which was so large and crispy. I think I'll get the curry next time, or the ramen. We originally came because we were going to get a karaage sando, but get the curry.

I was disappointed with the food. First the name difference (Ramen USA) on Yelp compared to their…read morewebsite and Google maps kinda threw us off. There's also discrepancy in their menu and what they actually have available as it seems they also display items for the the cafe next door. We happened to arrive during happy hour so some menu items were discounted. They also have a complimentary salad bar. We ordered chicken karaage, potstickers, salmon avocado sushi, and I had the katsu sandwich. All the food items we ordered came separately over a span of 20+ minutes, with the sandwich arriving last and cold. Not only did the sandwich come on a cold sourdough bread, the meat also had an unusual texture and so I ended up throwing it out. The other items we ordered were lacking in flavor. The chicken karaage was prepared well but it had no flavor. I'm regret spending money at this establishment.
