E Ramen is a gem! The atmosphere here feels more laid-back and chilled compared to other ramen spots, making it the perfect escape when you just want to relax and enjoy a great meal. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was welcoming and calm, setting the stage for a memorable experience. We started with the Pork Gyoza and Karaage Chicken. The Pork Gyoza were steamed, with a tender, juicy pork filling inside. The dipping sauce added a perfect touch of tanginess, making them a delightful appetizer. The Spicy Tonkotsu Original was next, and it definitely delivered on richness. The broth was velvety and packed with deep, savory flavors. Each sip had the perfect level of spice, complementing the creamy tonkotsu base beautifully. The noodles were cooked just right, with a satisfying chew, and the toppings were fresh and generous, enhancing the overall experience. However, the absolute star of the night was the Karaage Chicken. This dish stole the show! The chicken was fried to golden perfection, incredibly crispy on the outside while staying unbelievably juicy and tender inside. Every bite was packed with flavor, the seasoning on point, and the meat practically melted in the mouth. It was the kind of dish where you keep reaching for another piece without thinking twice. E Ramen nails both the food and the atmosphere. If you're looking for a cozy spot with delicious, well-crafted Japanese comfort food, this is the place to be. Highly recommended, especially for that unforgettable Karaage Chicken!

Everything we ordered was delicious and the portions were generous! We had the tonkotsu original ramen, the spicy chicken ramen and a California roll. Service was fantastic. We'll be back to try more soon.

My friend and I came here randomly on a Saturday. It was empty for the post lunch hour which I didn't anticipate. We chose to order the Takoyaki to share and we chose a ramen for me and a Gyu don beef bowl for him. Service - amazing. Very attentive. The food didn't take long and when it arrived it was pleasing to the eye. Great presentation. Crispy chicken ramen- nice top to keep the fried chicken on the side. They use thigh meat so the flavor was all and through each bite. I enjoyed the ramen but I wanted it to be super spicy and it wasn't. The broth was still great. Gyu Don - too much more rice than the other toppings. I would've appreciated a bit more sauce. The beef was tender and the portion matched the price as well. Super plus. My friend and I plan to return.

My family & I are visiting from Arizona and came across this ramen shop. We got the ramen (of course) and some sushi as well. Not only was the food so good and comforting, but the guy helping us was amazing. He was super friendly and consistent with checking in on us. Definitely worth the trip and I highly recommend!!

Lunchtime wasn't too busy for midweek. The food is always good. The portions are fair. Nice neighborhood place for ramen.

After hearing on a online magazine about E Ramen being on the top 10 ramens in Chicago we decided to try it. We live so close to it so why not. It's a very cozy place small but nice. I think it's family own. A very nice boy was our waiter today. He was very attentive and served us great. He even refilled our waters without us asking, very good costumer service. We ordered the original tonkotsu ramen, the shrimp fried rice and the tempura shrimp roll. Wow it was super delicious. Everything, was great that nothing tasted bad to me or my husband. I highly recommend recommend this place hands down. We will be back to try their other dishes and appetizers. You won't be disappointed!

We finally stopped by E Ramen and we're so glad we did! We had the chicken karaage, spicy tonkatsu ramen and garlic lovers tonkatsu ramen. The chicken karaage was moist and slightly crispy. Both ramen dishes were delicious - rich, flavorful broth. The noodles, pork chasu, and egg were all cooked perfectly. The pork chasu was so tender. We liked the spicy tonkatsu better than the garlic lovers. The garlic lovers tonkatsu is suuuper garlicky. We got the mid-level heat - 'spicy' and it was a good balance of heat and flavor. My husband said it was the perfect amount of spice for him. I want to try to spicy umami miso ramen next time, probably just mild spicy for me though. I'm a wimp when it comes to spice. The restaurant itself doesn't have much of a vibe, but was clean, with a few small tables. They are also BYOB, which we plan to take advantage of in the future! E Ramen is now our go to spot for ramen in the area and we'll definitely be frequenting this restaurant throughout the winter!

I gotta say, this is my first time trying Ramen. It was not busy at all when we arrive with just one other part dining in. They guy that took our order was very welcoming and friendly. Got us going right away. We started off with an order of their Pork Gyoza. These very tasty and juicy. It's hard to get these wrong, and E ramen did not fail. My wife ordered their Spicy Unami Miso. It came with ground pork, bean sprouts, green onion, bok choy, chili oil and shredded pepper all in a very delicious tasting rich pork broth. This ramen was so flavorful, I regret not ordering this for my self. I went with their Spicy Chicken Ramen and asked for it to be very spicy. This one as served with thin noodles, chicken chashu, bok choy, green onion and a seasoned egg. This one had some heat to it, but was more bland tasting compared to the spicy unami that my wife ordered. While I still enjoyed it, I probably wouldn't order it again. Overall a great first experience with Ramen and wouldn't hesitate returning here if I'm in the area.
