Honestly, it was better than I expected. I’m a pretty picky eater when it comes to ramen and Asian food in general since I was born in Japan and lived in Taiwan for 8 years, but for American standards, this was well above average. The tonkotsu shio and yuzu shoyu ramen were both seasoned really well. The noodles could be a bit more “QQ” for my taste, but overall, they were great. The pork slices were juicy and tender too. Overall, I’d say this is easily one of the best spots in Illinois for ramen and Japanese food.

Nomu is yummy. Their ramen is solid and their portions are good and the servers have always been kind. They recently expanded into new spaces which look very nice. Only qualm would be that what they advertise as shoestring fries are not … More

Everything was delicious! We started with the Chicken Karaage—crispy, juicy, and full of flavor. The Yuzu Shoyu Ramen was light and refreshing, while the Tonkotsu Shio Ramen was rich and comforting. The soft-boiled egg was perfectly cooked, and the chashu pork just melted in my mouth. More

One of the best ramen places in town!
The Tori paitan ramen was exactly what I wanted it to be- simple, but well seasoned and delicious.
Also, the Nabeyaki udon's presentation and taste were on point.

We had the best dining experience in their TASTING ROOM. It was just me and my husband sitting in front of Chef Ben, who happens to be the co-owner. He creates everything in front of us, provides us with a detailed description of his presentation, and even offers us tips on the best way to savor the dish. Each of the 8 courses was exquisite. My taste buds were happy and so was my stomach. The pace was just right and the amount was decent. I mean...I could have made room for one more Wagyu sushi or an Akami tartare but it would have been pusing it. We also paid for the drink pairing; my husband opted for the sake pairing and I had the cocktail pairing. OMG... the drinks were divine! There were six of them and I LOVED them all. This was an amazing experience, especially at this price. I would highly recommend making a reservation and experiencing it yourself. You will not regret it.

Very nice space and environment, clean and very quiet during lunch time. This is a great spot near other restaurants and smaller shops (boba and desserts) I got ramen and it was rich broth, well cooked noodles and amazing toppings! Will be returning soon and hope to explore more of the menu!

We ended up coming here , looking for good ramen place in the area. This place has curry ramen. Not many places in the area has that. But taste wise it was okay and not as savory as expected. I asked to make it spicy. It was not spicy at all. Also we ordered sushi and sushi was even below the normal taste. They can definitely add more spices in the broth and more toppings options like fried garlic, bok choc, and a many more other options.

Had the Yaki Udon, the noodles were nice and thick, were a bit softer than I expected, flavors were delicious. The volcano fries were top notch, had a decent amount of kick, everyone in my party enjoyed them. Would come here again to try the other ramen dishes.

Looking for Vegan Ramen nearby and found this restaurant.
I ordered Yasai Shio Ramen. It was tasty. The noodles are made of Kale which is very easy to enjoy. The broth has umami flavor. This dish is a good option for vegan people.
My husband and my son ordered Tonkotsu shoyu and Tonkotsu shio ramen. They both are delicious as well. The chashu pork is tender.
The restaurant is big, nice and clean. Service is excellent.

While I preferred the Nomu Tanmen spicy noodle over the Miso and Tonkatsu ramen options, the dish itself was a mixed experience. Sushi is average. The ramen broth was decent, but the noodles were too thin for my liking. Unfortunately, the service was quite slow, with a 45-minute wait between ordering and being served. On the plus side, the space is excellent, with a well-arranged, uncrowded furniture layout. The staff was generally good, though they lacked a personalized touch. Overall, I've had better ramen in the area.

I had the chance to try Nomu Ramen, a small, locally owned Korean American business, and I’m really glad I did. The food was fresh, flavorful, and kept me wanting to go back for another bite. The calamari was a standout and something I’d highly recommend. I also really enjoyed the cold soba noodles, this spot easily makes my top three places in Illinois for that dish.
The service was solid, and the atmosphere brought back memories of having ramen while living in Japan and Korea, which made the experience even more special. Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any dish you choose at Nomu Ramen!
