Kitakata is the best ramen place in the Chicagoland area. Their green chili shio ramen has such a clean and delicious broth. Their pan fried gyoza is one of the best dishes on the menu. It has the perfect fry every time! Right now they have the Mizore ramen running through the end of March and that one was also super refreshing and delicious.
This place is always busy so I recommend joining the waitlist on Yelp ahead of time.
This place is a 45min drive from me, but I frequent it as much as possible. I highly recommend this spot to everyone.

We came in on a busy Friday evening and the place was absolutely packed — people were cramming in to get a table! We waited about 52 minutes to be seated, but it was totally worth it. (Tip: you can get in line ahead of time through the Yelp app — we’ll do that next time.)

We ordered two Spicy Miso Ramen bowls with extra egg and corn, plus the pan-fried gyoza. Everything was fantastic — the broth was rich and flavorful with just the right level of spice, the veggies were fresh, and the pork was tender and tasty.

Our waiter was super friendly and attentive, checking in often and keeping things running smoothly even though it was packed. The total came to about $56 before tip, which felt fair for the quality and portions.

Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic, flavorful ramen and great service!

Went there for very first time. Kids loved their pork. Very well cooked. Few veg options. Really good service.

Food was delish! Had the Tonkotsu Ramen and the gyoza! My friend also liked her dish (forgot what it was), and the servuce was great and friendly! Only thing I didn’t like was the bigger booth that has 4 tables all together, the tables were too close to each other and it’s uncomfortable just having your butt just casually pass right next to the other table’s food, but other than that it was great!

My boyfriend and I have been coming here for years and we absolutely love this place. This is our ramen spot and well worth the 30min drive everytime. Consistent food, quality, and service is great. Shoutout Jason we’ve been seeing him for years there and he’s such a hard worker and super kind to everyone. The only bad thing is now that this spot is popular it’s sooo hard to get in and you often have to wait awhile which sucks. Should have VIP cards for the OG customers, lol… but kudos to you guys for reaching such an audience!!! Keep it up Kitakata!!!!

The best ramen! Their noodles are something else! I’ve tried so many other places, but none of them come close. I’ll keep coming back here — and only here! The staff are very friendly, and the atmosphere is amazing. Love it!

There is something truly comforting about a steaming bowl of ramen. The broths are beautifully and painstakingly brewed for hours, developing deep, rich flavors, while the noodles are freshly made to ensure each bowl is perfectly crafted. Ramen is a delicate harmony of flavors, with each component playing a vital role in creating a memorable dining experience.

Popular dishes include Miso ramen, Tonkotsu, and a spicy Ramen with roasted pork loin or crispy belly—each offering a unique and satisfying taste. The umami-rich broth is complemented by softly poached eggs, nori, mung bean sprouts, marinated tofu, thinly shredded carrots and cabbage, and bamboo shoots. Additional toppings are also available, allowing for customization.

This restaurant provides simple, comforting, and authentic ramen — a true reflection of quality and care. It has quickly become one of our favorite local spots in Hoffman Estates.

We highly recommend visiting with friends for a relaxed, cozy lunch at Kitakata. It’s a perfect place to enjoy a flavorful, satisfying meal and spend quality time together. If you’re looking for a warm ramen experience in the area, don’t miss out on this outstanding local gem.

I love this ramen spot an have been faithful coming for the past few years now. They serve wavy ramen noodles which most restaurants don’t offer often and they give a unique texture. Also there broths are always on point no matter which ramen bowl you choose. Anyone who has a new to either location is in for a real treat!

Amazing experience all around! Love the simple, authentic atmosphere reminiscent of ramen shops in Japan. Ramen was delicious and indeed generous in portions. The highlight for us was definitely the chicken karaage! Crispy, juicy, and HUGE pieces.
