Ramen House Shinchan

I came to this place for brunch, I’m on business and thought I’d try it. Loved the Soicy Miso Ramen and the Chicken Nanban. Plus their latte was delicious. I think it’s called the Strawberry ice Matcha latte or something similar. There was no wait, staff was friendly and very attentive. Definitely worth checking the place out.

So sad, the service was excellent and the place is clean and welcoming but the food was not for us. All three of us felt like our dishes had no flavor at all. Staff is extremely accommodating and was willing to bring us seasonings etc but unfortunately this was probably our least favorite Ramen ever judging off of taste. Definitely overpriced too. $2.75 extra to add Ramen egg to a vegetarian dish when other dishes come with egg + a meat for the same price is a pretty steep ask. I do want to highlight however that service was so nice so this is not an attack to them at all!! But the food does need to be worked on significantly. Veg creamy ramen for example, adding all the extra greens unseasoned really dilutes the flavor. Stomach was upset once going home too and had to take OTC meds for it.

We ordered two pork ramens. To be honest, it wasn’t very impressive. The price is $18, but the flavor doesn’t really match that cost. The broth is rich and the portion is large with plenty of noodles, but overall the dish doesn’t feel like it’s worth the price. The smell of food in the dining area is very strong — the ventilation seems weak. The waitress was friendly and attentive, which was nice, but the food itself was just average. If the ramen were around $10, I’d probably judge it differently.

I was at the opening of their first restaurant in Palatine and they were great. As good as many in Japan. Over time they reduced the quality (cost) of the food and leveled off. They're still okay and a little better than Tokyo Bowl. I miss the Kara age they use to make. More crunch the pieces had more surface area and ginger taste. The Best Condition had more whole garlic and veggies too. The chicken broth was kind of on the salty side. Got a side order of egg and they were nice. The price is still pretty close to when they opened so that's a plus. Also most of the people in there with us for lunch appeared to be Japanese so it does say something about its authenticity.

Great food, friendly, attentive service. Priced right. Gyoza was crunchy outside, succulent inside. Ramen broth had deep flavor. Buta Don rice sauce justright. Enjoying the improved menu with more rice dishes. Next Kuro Ramen
