Double Chicken Cutlet curry with White rice (For me) and Beef Curry with White rice and scrambled egg on top (for my wife). The food was light and filling not in the lethargic way but just enough to make your stomach warm and happy. The thing that got me was the display of the actual plates of food incased in epoxy lets you see what your food will look like before you order it. Kudos to Hokkaido.

Hokkaido Ramen Santouka is located in the food court of the Mitsuwa Marketplace at Algonquin Rd. & Arlington Heights Rd. There are some amazing ramen dishes and there is a large menu board at the order counter. We ordered from the ramen combinations and we were not let down. The food was tasty and the prices were reasonable. 100% recommend

I always go here for lunch on Sunday, and it is always packed with people. The quality of the ramens is consistent and amazing despite the large lines. Worth the wait!

Love everything about this restaurant! While the lines are long and food court seating is crowded, it is definitely an experience and atmosphere you don’t want to miss! As a tip, be ready to give the number that’s next to the item you want to order to the person at the register.

We usually order miso ramen and it used to be so good until last weekend visit as we crave for ramen, knowing we had good experience before of how it tastes good, but it’s no longer the same as two years ago. Noodles texture is different and hardly any toppings. Not going back here.

This is literally THE BEST ramen you can get stateside. It’s in a food court of a supermarket. When it’s a slow time of day, this looks like a hole in the wall, but when lunch hits, there is the longest line for food I’ve seen in my entire life.
If you’re new to ramen, get the shoyu. You won’t be disappointed. You’ll be making soy sauce eggs at home after this (7 minutes is my go-to for making them at home.)

I love their spicy miso ramen, not too big and not too small! Ordered the small size and its a perfect size for me! Everything you can taste is perfection and made with love from Japan!

The food is good, but the service is shockingly slow and unprofessional.
A woman ahead of me waited 45 minutes without receiving her food and was told there were still about 10 orders ahead of her. She tried to cancel, and the staff processed the refund without a single apology—then took another 15 minutes just to complete the refund.
When it was finally my turn, the staff casually said, “It’ll be a 40-minute wait, is that okay?” No apology, no acknowledgment of the excessive wait. That says everything.
The attitude was very clear: we’re busy, we don’t care if you order or not—there are plenty of other customers.
I only placed my order because I had already wasted so much time. Good food does not excuse poor service, and this place clearly relies on volume rather than customer care.

We stopped here for another quick lunch and this time we tried the Ramen place! I ordered the Miso Ramen medium size and it was very tasty and the broth was really good, had a lot of flavor and the noodles were cooked just right! My husband ordered the soy sauce ramen combo, which came with a hard boil egg and a bowl of rice with chopped up char siu! The rice bowl was kinda plain, needed some sauce! I have to give the service a 5 star, the staff were really friendly and helpful! I will definitely go back and try other ramen bowls!

Some of the best ramen I’ve had in a while. You can find this place inside Mitsuwa. A gem really. The noodles had the perfect bit and texture. They are not stingy with their pork and give you big, thick pieces. Most of the pieces were nice and tender to the bite. Lastly, the broth was amazing. I usually don’t finish the broth for ramen, but I had mostly all of it. It wasn’t too salty and had a rich flavor to it. My only qualm was the egg. The egg was completely hard boiled which I’m not a fan of and had a snappy texture. I personally love soft boiled with my ramen, but definitely not worth two dollars in my opinion. HOWEVER, the egg is not enough for me to knock down the score. This ramen was top tier. So sad I don’t live in Illinois for this one.
