Finally decided to try Yoshi Ramen after seeing it all over TikTok and Instagram. I came with 3 of my friends who are die hard ramen lovers. Matthew was our server and I truly think he's the best server I've ever had at any restaurant ever. The guy is attentive, kind, funny, and you can just tell he really loves his job. Give this man a raise! Anyway, for food we started with two appetizers: the pork buns and the croquets. I cannot speak on the pork buns because I am allergic to pork, but the people in my party were super impressed with how tender the pork was. The croquets were amazing, I've never had one before and I really enjoyed the how vinegary sauce complemented the savory potato. For the entrees we had ramen and the eel dish. My friend who had the eel said that that was one of the best meals she's ever had, and the other two who had the spicy ramen (level 1 and 2) both really loved that as well. I opted for one of the chicken broth options, the Shoyu ramen, and added kimchi. It was good but the dark meat chicken kind of grossed me out a bit for some reason. I am much more of a pho or udon person, but this was good and the portion was large. I think next time I'd try to miso or the vegetable ramen instead. Overall, we all really enjoyed our experience here. The spot is really neat looking, the staff is incredibly nice, and the food comes out super fast and hot. We'll definitely be back!
Our favorite ramen place every time we are craving for one. The staff are really nice and accommodating. We love the vibes and would definitely want to go back.
Cute inside, not the most extensive menu but service is friendly and food was pretty quick. Packed even on a Monday night!
The interior felt very Japanese with the bonsai trees and decor. So cool! The workers there are so hospitable and made sure you are fed well. The Ramen is to die for and felt really authentic. Definitely check them out if you are in the area, and worth the drive.
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.
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.
Was way better than I expected, would definitely come back. The flavors of the broth were brimming with the garlic and chili and made for an intense flavor bomb. The other components of the dish were great compliments to the broth as well, as no singular flavor was too dominant or overpowering. Honestly the best ramen I have eaten and would have believed it was from a Michelin star restaurant. Not to mention the service was great and the atmosphere had a nice vibe to it as well.
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
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!!
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
Came in after a convention in the area and needed seating for 7 they got us seated quickly and were super helpful and friendly explained the menu and all the options and the spice levels :) it's a super cute place loved the decor. The staff was all super attentive they kept the waters filled at all times and made sure we had whatever we needed (even if that meant forks for some) The ramen was so beautiful and flavorful!! A true feast for the eyes and taste buds. I loved the curry ramen I got with the delicious Japanese karaage chicken. Thanks for an enjoyable time also loved we got to choose from capybaras or mugs at the end that was amazing!!
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.
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.

YOOOOOOOOO, this is IT. Yoshi Ramen throws down and OMG I am obsessed. My cousin and I stopped in for an early lunch. Within an hour the place was pretty much at max capacity. Service throughout was fantastic. All staff members were friendly and attentive. This restaurant was designed nicely. It's similar to most ramen spots but instead of just wood seats/benches they have extremely comfortable seating. I appreciate this since I brought my baby with me and was able to feed and hold her without any issues. The ramen?! Ohhhhhhhhh mah goooodnessssss!! I could eat it everyday for every meal. I had the hakata tonkatsu ramen and it is by far the best ramen I've had in IL. The pork was juicy and flavorful. It also is torched which gave it a smoked flavor. SO YUM! The broth was creamy and the perfect amount of salty. Noodles were perfection and took to the broth very well. The soft boiled egg and the other toppings that came with it were exactly what I would have wanted in it. This is definitely a place I will be frequent at and recommend to others. read more

I'm always on the hunt for a really good bowl of ramen, so I decided to give Yoshi Ramen a try! I ordered the chicken ramen but substituted the grilled chicken for fried chicken because, why not? I also ordered the gyoza and an additional side of fried chicken. Overall, everything was good! The ramen was enjoyable, the gyoza was tasty, and I had no complaints about the fried chicken. It was definitely a satisfying meal. So why four stars instead of five? The place was so cute! The booths are cool for family time or a date night. Service was fast. The food was good BUT I've had better ramen. Nothing has managed to knock Ramen-San off the top of my list just yet! That's still my gold standard when it comes to ramen. Would I return? Absolutely! Yoshi Ramen is a solid option when you're craving a comforting bowl of ramen. It just didn't quite blow me away enough to earn that fifth star. Good food, worth trying, but the search for ramen perfection continues! 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 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

Another great meal here for dinner. I can't get enough of the karaage curry ramen. A deep rich broth with amazing karaage chicken thighs. I had to take some home, the bowl was so big. We enjoyed the edamame appetizer and the Berkshire pork buns were delicious. 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. The menu is simple without being basic, and the things we ordered were all delicious. Food was fast, and the service was excellent enough to combine all these variables to make me do a review. Go here. You won't regret it. read more

Decided to try this place on a cold rainy Sunday and it absolutely did not disappoint! 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

This Ramen restaurant is a great local gem. Every item ordered, from appetizers to ramen, demonstrated impressive deliciousness. The chashu meat was tender and flavorful, the broth, while not rich and bold, remained delicious. We will definitely return as the staff were welcoming and friendly as well. 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
