My daughter’s ramen looked amazing and she loved it! She keeps craving it and she loves ramen so she’d be a good judge. I had the fried squid tentacles and they were tender, crunchy on the outside and tasty! I also tried their mochi ice cream and it was delicious! Good service and I loved the decor!

Love this place it does have the Japanese atmosphere to it play anime on TV and also play music you’ll hear in Japan. Friend Ramen has a nice selection of food that’s Japanese inspired and they are very delicious. The host is super inviting and very considerate and very warm person. The place is small but I don’t mine it at all.

A friend recommended this place and wow it was so good. I got the spicy idk what it was called but it had pork belly and ramen and an egg and bamboo and it was soo good. Also the shrimp tempura with spicy mayo was delicious. My fighter did not like the white rice said it was too dry brushes liked the ramen and broth. Also the mochi ice cream strawberry and vanilla was delicious. We will be back again before we leave to try the kraaken chicken.

We love the ramen here. It carries great authentic flavors and heavy broths with American spins and favorites and have nice rice bowls and sides too. It’s generally not bad value at all and it tastes good, so we would frequent this place.

Absolutely loved everything about this spot. Stopped here randomly on our last day in Chicago and my family loved it. The Niku Ramen especially is a personal fave. I’ll definitely stop in again on my next trip.

I ordered the Tantanmen, which was good, but the dish was a little one dimensional, don’t get me wrong it tasted very good but it’s a little expensive and you get the tiniest porkbelly pieces with it. It’s not a lot of value for your buck, I find it slightly overpriced and not very complex flavors.

Great local ramen place. Cute atmosphere and great for eating alone. Lots of options, bowls , ramen and buns. The shumai was awesome and so was the ramen. I like that you can pick the size of the ramen , small or large.

This ramen bowl lacked flavor and was tasteless. Worse ramen bowl I have ever consumed. Just look at the broth. This is the miso ramen. Its sorry looking. Dont know how this place is highly rated.

Small space inside and dark but it’s chill. Food came out fast and is good! Feels expensive though for what we got.

Friends Ramen is a hidden gem in Chicago! The ramen is incredibly flavorful, rich, and comforting—exactly what you want on a cold day or when you’re craving something satisfying. The broth is deep and well-balanced, the noodles are perfectly cooked, and the toppings are fresh and generous.
The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely care about your experience. Portions are filling, prices are reasonable, and every dish feels thoughtfully prepared.
If you’re a ramen lover or just looking for a great spot for a warm, delicious meal, Friends Ramen is absolutely worth the visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!
