Reviews for Tanaka Ramen in Bolingbrook, IL
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 fewpieces to taste it. Their drinks are tasty and not too sweet. I look forward to coming again and tasting the garlic broth. Read more
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. Read more
First experience at this restaurant as well as with trying ramen and boy was it good. I had the Tanaka classic ramen and it was... just the right thing for a cold winters day. Would highly recommend eating here if you're in the area. Read more
I had the Tanaka Chicken with lychee and orange lemonade and strawberry mochi ice cream. Overall, the service was not too bad... for having many people walking in. I wish that the add-ons weren't as pricey.. 3 slices of tofu is $3 which to me is over pricedbecause you can buy a block of tofu for about $2 at any grocery store. The restaurant has a modern feel and they play radiomusic in the background. Not too bad for being a ramen restaurant in Bolingbrook. Read more
I was really pleased with my experience here. This was my first time trying ramen and they did not disappoint! They also offer... vegan ramen, if you want a non meat alternative. The bubble tea and milk options are abundant! I got the brown sugar bubble teaand it was so delicious. I'll definitely stop by again. Read more
Thinking of trying out this place which recommended by my friend. Since I am a ramen big fans, finally I stopped by to try out.... We order a bowl of their Tanaka Classic Ramen, calamari and chicken karaage for our meal while brown sugar milk tea and taromilk tea with tapioca as drinks. For the brown sugar milk tea is taste good but can be better while taro milk tea is really badlike taro flavour ice water. Appetizers are lack of taste. The chicken karaage is hard like rocks, not juicy type and servedwith so call spicy Mayo but did not taste any spicy. Calamari is soft not crunchy but easy to chew. Tonkotsu Classic Ramen brothis lack of flavour but still is taste good for Asian. But the Narutomaki is too thin and nearly invisible in bowl. Luckily thechashu taste good. The service from the server was decent. Never checked on customers. Need more training. Overall, I will notrecommend this place for those who really like ramen. Read more
Great place for a meal or a few small plates! Add a fruity bubble tea and milk tea options too! Crispy Brussels sprouts and... chicken wings are were delicious small plates. I did notice that the two servings chicken wings look different. One servingof chicken wings was more dry, while the other serving was crispy. Even the coloration of the two look different. A littleimprovement and consistency should be considered for this. See pictures to compare. I've tried a couple of their ramennoodles, very good as well. But, ask them to serve the ramen soup HOT! It tastes much better. (On both of my visits, theramen soup broth was served at a warm to room temperature). The ramen noodle texture and taste is excellent. Service was goodand attentive. There's a soap box dispenser at the entry of the restaurant to ensure cleanliness and sanitation of allguests. Located at the Bolingbrook Mall. Easy parking. Read more
