Ordered on a rainy night via DoorDash with moderate expectations and a serious ramen craving. Yoshi Ramen did not just meet the moment, it completely exceeded it. First, a standing ovation for the packaging. The broth and noodles arrived completely separate, clearly labeled, and perfectly intact. No soggy noodles, no sad collapsed toppings, no delivery regret. Someone in that kitchen actually thought about how this food travels and it shows. More restaurants take note please. The Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen itself was rich, creamy, deeply warming, and some of the best broth I have had anywhere. I genuinely did not expect to find this level of ramen quality outside of the city. And yet here we are, in the suburbs, slurping our way through a bowl that could hold its own against any ramen shop Chicago has to offer. The pork was beautifully charred and flavorful. The gyoza was excellent. But the Berkshire pork belly buns were the true standout of the night. Fatty, deeply seasoned, pure indulgent decadence in each bite. The kind of thing you think about the next day. Yoshi Ramen will now be our permanent go to ramen spot out here in the burbs and honestly that is a little dangerous given how close it is to home. Our wallets already know. read more

Yoshi Ramen is such a hidden gem in Naperville ...seriously, this place is so cute inside. The vibe is cozy and aesthetic, but I do wish it was just a little bigger because it fills up fast. Now let's talk about the food... WOW. Everything we ordered was absolutely jam-packed with flavor. Like, next-level good. I fully walked in thinking I'd stay on track with my health journey and somehow... blacked out and just ate zero regrets though because it was THAT worth it. And service was great! They got the kids engaged in the convo and ordering off the menu too. Seriously . . .every bite hit -- rich broths, perfectly cooked noodles, and just overall comforting, crave-worthy food. Safe to say we'll definitely be back (maybe next time with a little more self-control... maybe lol). read more

Went in on a Tuesday evening, not too busy. Asked for a booth. Said that there weren't any. I was staring right at an empty booth towards the back. As we were waiting for service, we watched her seat, two people in the same booth that I was looking at. The food was not good. My husband was served 15 minutes before me. I got my bland .greasy cold food. Will not be back. I do not recommend this restaurant. Atmosphere like a daycare cafeteria. read more

One visit to Yoshi Ramen and you'll understand why I keep coming back The broth is very rich and full of flavor, and the noodles have the perfect texture. The pork belly is incredibly tender and well-seasoned. Honestly, some of the best I've ever had. The service is amazing, quick, attentive, and super friendly (shoutout to the guy with the iPad, maybe he's the manager). Overall, it's a reliable ramen place in Naperville that delivers consistent quality. It may not be fancy, but it absolutely nails the classics. read more

The ramen boom in the Midwest continues but Yoshi stands out with a rich broth that is cooked to the right level without going over the edge. Located in South Naperville, the interior has booths, tables, and lots of Japanese-inspired decorating cues. Service definitely stands out here. Not only are you greeted right away, but the staff is approachable and check to ensure everything is to a high standard. Yoshi goes beyond ramen as they offer delicious fried chicken and drinks. Yoshi Ramen has it all from friendly, attentive service, good food, and vibes that help you settle in to a nice conversation and meal. read more

By far the best ramen I've had in the Naper area ever. And everyone seems to know it because our wait was longer than 30 min. Loved my curry ramen. I'm not a big fried chicken eater, so I ordered an extra egg and some chashu pork. Then gave others my chicken. That chashu pork could have been the best I've ever had. Everyone else agreed too The spicy coconut shrimp was a standout appetizer. --The sauce really makes it. The staff are all very friendly and on top of things. Loved the ambiance with the leaves covering the ceiling and I appreciated how bright and clean the restaurant is. This is my go-to ramen place now read more

Absolutely incredible experience at Yoshi Ramen in Naperville! The vibes are beautiful -- decor is stunning, cozy, and filled with that amazing aroma of fresh ramen as soon as you walk in. The staff is so sweet, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. Everyone was smiling and had great recommendations! We tried the House Spicy Garlic Ramen -- one with pork and another with karaage chicken. You can choose your spice level (1, 2, or 3). We got levels 1 and 2 -- and wow, level 2 definitely packs some heat, so go easy if you're spice-sensitive! But if you love spice, it's perfect. The tonkatsu broth was out of this world -- creamy, rich, and full of flavor. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the pork might honestly be some of the best we've ever had -- tender, flavorful, and melts in your mouth. The karaage chicken was crispy and juicy at the same time, and all the toppings tied everything together perfectly! We finished off with the viral mango ice cream, which was the perfect refreshing ending. They just opened in August, but the crowds and glowing reviews already say it all -- this place is a hit! Easily in our top 3 ramen spots ever (and we LOVE ramen). We'll definitely be coming back again and again!! read more

I love Yoshi Ramen! I have been patiently waiting for this spot to open because I drive by pretty often and it did not disappoint. I came with my husband on a Saturday shortly after they opened and we got the agedashi tofu, fried oysters, and Berkshire pork belly buns to share. Then I got the spicy garlic tonkatsu ramen with extra green onion and my husband got the shoyu ramen. The ramen rivaled the spots we frequented in the city (as a Chicago city dweller for a decade) and I am so glad we didn't have to "give up" really good ramen spots when we moved to the burbs. We came back one week later and brought my parents; I had been raving about Yoshi Ramen and we had a great dinner. They were still doing a grand opening promo where they were giving away mugs for adults and/or a capybara keychain for kids. The food is fresh, the restaurant is clean, and the staff are friendly. No notes, just that this will be our new go-to spot for ramen. They also have fried chicken, fried rice, and donburi which we haven't tried yet, but probably will soon. A shining 5 stars read more

Delicious new Ramen restaurant in South Naperville. We ordered Berkshire Pork Belly Bun, Shrimp Lollipop (Fried Shrimp) and Tokyo Shoyu Noodle Soup. The Shoyu soup was flavorful with sweet marinated soy chicken in a seasoned broth. Added additional portioned of the egg that was cooked perfectly. We also enjoyed the pork belly bun in which the pork was very tender and had a delicious house mayo sauce on top. Service was excellent, our waiter Matthew was very knowledgeable with all the ingredients and took the time to review the menu with us. Restaurant was clean and well decorated with a contemporary theme. Thank you read more

Nicely decorated and tasty Ramen. I really liked the description of the spicy garlic Ramen, but didn't want the pork broth or pork meat. The waitress was super friendly and accommodating and made it with chicken broth and pan fried chicken pieces. You could choose a spice level of 1-3. Glad I went with two. Would definitely come here again. read more

THIS REVIEW IS FOR CARRY-OUT Started out with a bit of a mix up at counter. Calm evening last night about 6:30. Walked in at same time with another person picking up an order. They were told to wait, and I was handed a bag. Luckily after several occasions of restaurant carry-out mix-ups and training I check my bag contents before leaving. I could clearly see it wasn't mine as this order contained shrimp I didn't order. Bag and order handed over to its correct owner. Got my order a few minutes later, the order contained edamame (which I didn't want) but really wanted gomae. They wouldn't refund or exchange the order, even though the edamame wasn't opened. The reasoning was because she had never done a refund/exchange and that my husband ordered it on their website. I really wanted the gomae so I got edamame (which I can't eat) and paid for what I wanted. This whole pick up left me with a negative attitude but I was willing to write it off as their ramen is so good. Packing looked great. Noodles and broth packed separately, but when I started to mix the broth my chop sticks wouldn't get through the noodles. It was a solid chunk of noodles! Started eating to realize the noodles were super cold. I'd like to say it was never "boiled" to warm before putting into containers or that they just got refrigerated cold so quickly. Order was still edible but the soup is so much better eating at the restaurant. The restaurant experience is so much better, but with the lack of willingness to exchange the edamame for gomae, it leaves me wondering that for the small price of a cupful of edamame and spinach I as a customer wouldn't have been left with a negative experience. read more

Most of the ramens are around $14 which is super reasonable compared to other places around the area. I got the Tokyo shoyu ramen and it was very warm and comforting. I wish the broth was a tad bit spicier if I'm being honest (I added on the chili powder provided at the table but that added an extra salt element that wasn't needed). Chicken was super juicy. Overall pretty good read more

The spicy coconut shrimp makes me want to gatekeep! It is my absolute favorite! I find myself regularly craving it and too many people must know about it because they sold out at one point! If you manage to come to Yoshi, try it! It's not too spicy at all, more of a flavorful spice. The spicy garlic ramen is my favorite ramen to get here and I get a level 2, if you don't take spice well I would suggest a 1 or .5. The shoyu was also great but the other two were clearly the stars! The service was fast, very friendly and everyone greets you! The ambiance was so beautiful, I took tips for my own home! I couldn't stop looking around! For sure Instagram worthy! They have added a few more decorations since these photos were taken. read more

Had the house spicy garlic ramen. It was incredible. Got the Level 1 spice. (Option of 1, 2, or 3). #1 was just enough to have a kick but still taste the amazing flavor of everything else. Quite evident why all reviews have been 5 stars here. One of the best ramen soups I've had. read more

I heard of this place as an online recommendation and looked at their delectable menu and wanted to try out this spot! I had the Tokyo Shoyu ramen and added corn to it. We ordered some sides to pair with our ramen main course. Though smoothies weren't available at the time decided to try their delicious brown sugar boba tea and peach soju. For the price you pay, you get a lot of food so was able to take a to go box to enjoy for later. Will definitely be back! read more

I went on a Saturday night at 6pm and there were a few groups ahead of me waiting for a table. The waitlist process was easy and efficient. We waited about 10 minutes and by that time there were a few groups lined up after us. I like hype factor of anticipation. The interior is bright and welcoming. Service was excellent. We ordered 2 kinds of ramen, tonkatsu and shoyu, and both were excellent! Looking forward to trying other items from the menu next time. read more

I ordered a soup and sat down to wait for my order, but I was never called. The soup was sitting ready on the counter for a long time, and there were about three girls and a guy in the counter, no one let me know or ask me. By the time someone ask me the soup was completely cold. Very poor service and lack of customer attention. Will never come back. Will continue going to Sudooku Ramen. read more

Took my boyfriend here while we were visiting friends out of town based on reviews and we were both absolutely blown away! It was his first time trying REAL ramen so I wanted it to be really good and we were definitely not disappointed! Service was good, I believe it may be the owner that comes around and checks on each table and he was super friendly and pleasant to talk to. We started off with dumplings and the spinach small plate. Both delicious. But the ramen. O-M-G. Just to give a background on my ramen expertise, I've been known to drive 4 hrs just to go to Chinatown for good ramen so if I'm impressed that's saying a lot. The tonkotsu broth was rich and you definitely can tell they make it the right way (long and slow!). The noodles were perfect and the pork belly was To die For! We ordered maybe 4 extra sides and if i had an unlimited budget i would've ordered 25 more. Just thinking of it now...mmmmmmmm. I wish i lived closer! read more

This place was amazing. My friends and I met up here before the rest of the evening plans and it's on my go-to list now.

My partner got the highest level of spice - he handles spice pretty well- but still found it to be delicious (but VERY hot... beware!) My food was delicious and I hope to be back - great service but the music was very loud... but not too big of a deal as long as others are in the restaurant to contribute to the noise level. read more

Food was good for the price, would consider eating here again, love the esthetic of the place. Service was fast and staff was wonderful. I'm a big fan of ramen, I would have given it more stars if the gyozas had more flavor and the coconut shrimp was more flavorful. Had better ramen but this place is closer to home and it's not so bad. read more

Presentation is beautiful. Taste fabulous and just right amount. Gomai sauce was done very well. Strong sesame flavor and not overly sweet. The croquettes were crisp and tasty served on a garnish of lettuce with just the right amount of tonkatsu sauce. Sadly far for me to return but if in area will stop in to have ramen. read more

I ordered some spicy house garlic ramen with an order of potstickers & and a lychee green tea. I got the noodles at a level 2, which ended up whooping my ass but it was still delicious. The potstickers were crispy and the tea was refreshing! 2nd visit, I got the same noodles but requested no spice at all and a passion fruit green tea with the strawberry boba. Much better experience food wise, even the tea was better omg ong. They offer fried rice and other appetizers/dishes as well! read more
