Tanaka Ramen - Bolingbrook

First time here, had the classic ramen. Decent portion size. Flavor is fine, not too strong/salty, which worked for me. Karaage chicken was okay, just tasted like fried chicken to me. Food came out quick. Staff friendly.

Will it ramen? I think that this is a good ramen place. It has its unique profile in taste, the noodles where good and the pork had great flavor. The pork bun was my favorite starter, to be honest the shrimp shumai had a light shrimp flavor it took a few pieces to taste it. Their drinks are tasty and not too sweet. I look forward to coming again and tasting the garlic broth.

I ordered the Tanaka Chicken along with lychee and orange lemonade, and finished off with strawberry mochi ice cream. Overall, the service was decent, especially considering how busy it was. However, I found the add-ons to be a bit overpriced—$3 for just three slices of tofu seems excessive when you can buy an entire block for around $2 at the grocery store. The restaurant has a modern atmosphere and plays background radio music, making for a pleasant dining experience. All in all, it's not a bad option for a ramen restaurant in Bolingbrook.

This was my first experience at this restaurant and my first time trying ramen, and it was absolutely delicious! I ordered the Tanaka classic ramen, which was perfect for a chilly winter day. I highly recommend stopping by here if you’re in the area!

Tanaka Ramen offers a great selection of ramen, rice dishes, small plates, and bubble tea, including options for vegetarians and vegans. The ramen is consistently flavorful and served in generous portions.
