Gyuro Ramen

I enjoyed the Japanese-inspired interior of this resto. It sets the mood while savoring the ramen. We had the Signature Beef Chasu and Yakisoba with Duck Breast. I like the latter more but the beef broth of the ramen is something unique that should be tried. I also love the mocktails that we got - raspberry rose refresher and mango lychee cream soda (love this more!) I would love to try their other dishes soon.

I visited Gyuro Ramen for a late lunch during the week. The restaurant had a calm atmosphere, and we were promptly greeted and seated. I tried the premium ramen, which featured a flavorful broth and pleasantly chewy noodles. However, the meat was somewhat underwhelming, with a few dry cuts that affected the overall experience. Overall, it was a decent visit with some room for improvement in the meat quality.

Fast service, and HUGE servings! We loved the dog rice, cat rice, shoyu ramen, and takoyaki. Meats a little try but food was yummy overall!

This is the first time I've tried both beef and duck ramen, and they were both absolutely delicious. Great aesthetic sense too; it's decorated to look like a Tokyo alley, with signs up everywhere and city footage projected onto walls. I really recommend this place.

I got the Spicy Miso Ramen with Tofu! Great service as well. The menu was clear and quick to understand. The food was tasty, the chicken gyoza were simple and filling. I liked the ambiance of the restaurant and Fulton Market in general is wonderful!

The atmosphere of this place was really nice. The service was good and the ramen was fantastic! I’ve been to plenty of ramen spots and this one had the best broth hands down. I wish the ramen was a little thicker, but it was still great. Definitely will return.

I had the Signature Gyukotsu - Creamy Beef Bone Broth. They had three versions of it and I chose the Beef Chashu. It was really delicious.

Discovered this place as it’s right under the green line… what a delicious meal on a cold chicago day ! Really awesome interior and cozy enough to stay for a while ! The food was decent, but the vibes was really what caught my attention. Good job guys !

I did not have high expectations but Gyuro really surprised me. I have high expectations with ramen and this one is unique. We got the Signature Gyukotsu Ramen. Their broth is truly creamy, rich and unique in flavor. Beef is so soft and tender, thinly sliced, and generous amounts given. Egg is perfectly marinated and jammy. Only con, it could really do without the wonton. Did not enjoy that it had a weird flavor and hard pieces of collagen or something. Don't skimp on the hell sauce, I'm not a spice lover but it adds an extra flavor profile that enhances the ramen. Just a little amount does the trick!

My sister and I had an EXCEPTIONALLY outstanding dining experience at Gyuro Ramen. If I could describe our meal in one sentence? So good, your tastebuds will be doing backflips and you'll want to come back the next day. I mean it. There was a great variety of appetizers, broths/ramen combinations, and protein options. After careful deliberation, my sister went with the Shoyu Prime and I with the Spicy Garlic Miso with Beef Chashu as well as an order of chicken karaage to share. The chicken karaage was OUTSTANDING. It was fresh outta the fryer and piping hot when it was served to us. The marinade of the chicken in combination with the batter, as well as the tenderness of the chicken, in combination with the spicy mayo sauce made for a delectable treat. And the ramen? Oh my goodness: that first sip of broth was INSANE. The flavor. The love. The harmony. SO MUCH YES. The cook on the ramen noodles was perfect and that marinated egg was chef's kiss. My sister also loved her choice of ramen. We both licked our bowls clean because of how dang tasty it was and look forward to visiting again next week! My only critique is that the 2-person tables were a bit small for my liking. However, we didn't order too many menu items and had just enough room for our ramen bowls, our single appetizer, and the caddy for chopsticks/cutlery. Other than that, this was a 10 out of 10 experience! (Or in the Yelp world, a 5 star review!) Great service, kind staff, incredible food, and a great experience!!!

Had an amazing experience at Gyuro Ramen. Amazing interiors. They don't have coat check but they will give you baskets to keep your coats and your personal stuff. The servers are very patient and explained all my questions about the Menu. Adding the list of items tried below. Everything is amazing and the portions are surprisingly big. I couldn't finish my ramen, had to take leftovers home. And the Osaka Cheesecake is so delicious. The table felt a bit cramped with all the food, but with the amazing food they have that wouldn't be a big concern. It might probably to give you the experience? Will definitely go there again! List of items tried below: Cocktails : Mango Lychee Cream Soda and Yuzu Virgin Refresher. Appetizers: Veggie Gyoza (Vegetarian), Toasted Garlic (Vegetarian), Chicken Karaage, Kimchi Wagyu Ramen, Curry Ramen - Tofu Dessert: Osaka cheese cake

Unassuming location with delicious ramen and vegetarian options. Really cool decor and very nice staff!

This spot is super trendy and fun! I love the decorative interior, making it seem like you are eating in the streets of Tokyo. The seating is very casual - wooden tables and stools. There wasn't a spot to place our coats so I just kept mine on. I would probably only come if you're looking for a quick casual bite! I did the Spicy Garlic Miso and added a side of the level 3 Hell Sauce. The Spicy Garlic Miso was flavorful and with the level 3 Hell Sauce, it was a perfect spice level for me (I love spicy food). I usually eat my ramen with chashu pork, but I tried the Wagyu Misuji and it was so good! Would def rec this protein choice. Their Takoyaki wasn't bad! I just wish that there was more sauce on them. Overall, great spot for last minute ramen!

TAKEOUT REVIEW We ordered through DoorDash and everything arrived pretty quickly! The broth comes separately to avoid spillage and from the noodles soaking it all up! It was easily reheated and poured into the to-go bowls to eat. The soft shell crab was still crispy and very yummy. Chicken karaage was average but the sauce made it sooo much better. As for the ramen, the spicy garlic miso was on the saltier side but the beef chashu and crab were spot on. The shoyu prime broth tasted very similar to beef pho broth. Overall we liked everything just the broth was a bit too salty.

Out of all the ramen spots I've tried in Chicago, this one is by far my favorite. I was skeptical at first, thinking it might lean more toward a touristy, just-okay flavor, but I ended up really enjoying it. There's street parking out front, plenty of tables inside, and I also really liked the restaurant's interior design. I ordered the signature ramen with wagyu--the meat was a bit tough, but it didn't bother me. The broth was so delicious that I finished the entire bowl. The soft-shell crab ramen was definitely worth the price. Plus side is that the staff are really nice so I had no issues ordering as well as waiting for my order. Would come back again!

Amazing. Best ramen I've ever had. The broth was exquisite and perfectly flavored. The meat was amazing. The waiter was polite, efficient, and helpful. Plenty of seating as well. Very cool, anime vibe inside too.

Delicious food and a fun spot tucked away in the West Loop. My boyfriend and I got seated right away for a weekday early dinner. There's small baskets that they'll hand you to place a jacket or purse in it since the table and chairs are very small. We ordered organic tea - a white peach and a mango passion tea. Both were super tasty and fruity, I wish I had 3 of them! We shared the chicken karaage as an appetizer and I highly recommend! Super crunchy and fresh with the spicy sauce that's not too overwhelming. I ordered the cat rice bowl and my boyfriend ordered the beef chashu ramen. The food came out quite fast and I was surprised at how good the seasoning on the rice was in the bowl. The portions are generous. Love this spot and all of its Japanese decor!

This is such a cute ramen spot in Fulton! Everything tastes so flavorful and fresh and the server was so kind. I loved the fun mocktails and teas. The gyoza was delicious along with the spicy miso broth in the ramen.

The spicy garlic miso tofu was so good! Easy to make vegetarian if needed. They take your order quickly, and food comes out very quick. Vibes are cool too, casual but fun.

I ordered beef yakisoba. The portion is really big. The amount of steak / beef in there is a lot. Beef is tender and flavorful - well marinated. The service is 5/5. I went there around 5-6 PM on Friday. My kid was having fun looking around the restaurant, fun decoration.

Our party of 5 was able to secure a table easily on a Friday night before 6 PM. We had a few appetizers of edamame, chicken karaage and the truffle waffle fries. For entrees, most of the table had the signature gyukotsu, with the other entrees being shoyo ramen and dog rice. The broth of all the ramens were delicious. The rib from the dog rice was the star of the show, however the other proteins and toppings were a bit on the bland side. Service was fast and efficient. The ambiance was cute and welcoming.

Gyuro Ramen would be in my top 3 ramen ranking in Chicago! There are endless options of ramen which is unique to other restaurants. You can get different meat based broth for example Duck broth, beef broth, spicy miso broth and more. Often times, ramen restaurants do not have as many. This made our ramen decision harder, but allowed us to have more options. We opted for trying two: the Duck Ramen and the Spicy Garlic with wagyu misuji. I couldn't decide which one I liked more. They were both rich with flavor and had their own unique take. The duck was creamier and heavier. The spicy garlic broth was spicier and lighter. I enjoyed both of these and would definitely get them again. The interior of this place replicated an authentic Japanese ramen shop. It had neon colors and displays on the wall. It was fun to be in that environment. Additionally, the restaurant was BYOB which was fantastic. Service was fast and great.

Excellent Ramen. But fantastic Gyoza and Fried Chicken appetizers. I had the curry ramen with waygu beef. I was told it's very spicy, but it was pretty mild, so I added three scoops of chili paste. My bride had the vegetarian ramen. It was loaded with mushrooms and nori. We both thought the fried vegetarian gyoza was the best dish on the table.

Gyuro ramen is really an experience that's made to transport you. The restaurant itself is modeled after the streets of Tokyo. Overall this lends to an ambiance that makes you feel like you've traveled a long distance. The service is always super friendly and they're more than happy to walk you through the menu. My favorite item is their Rosu Ramen made with this really delicious creamy duck broth and sliced duck breast (cooked perfectly). Highly recommend trying if you have the chance!

The ramen was packed with flavor, great portion too. I was curious about the Dog Bowl--it looked delicious but a bit heavy for me this time. I'd definitely come back to try it. The decor is also really cool and gives off strong Japan/Asia vibes. Great atmosphere overall.

Came as part of my 5,700 mile food tour. Ordered the soft shell crab bao bun and braised slice beef tongue. The food was great. Enjoyed the cook on both proteins and the flavor of the beef tongue really stood out. The two staff members were in view essentially making fun of patrons at 2 of the tables. That was a bit annoying ti watch while I was trying to enjoy the meal.

Gyuro Ramen has excellent beef ramen! I saw it online and realized I was nearby in the West Loop area and decided to try it. We got the steamed pork dumplings which were surprisingly very good! I got the gyukotsu (beef bone broth) with the wagyu mitsuji which was a big piece of brisket and I wish I had gotten the beef chashu or the prime beef but it was still good! The beef broth was so flavorful, the egg was perfect, I normally prefer the thicker noodles but these went well with the soup. I tried the shoyu broth which was also good and a little bit sweet. After trying Ramen San and this place after, I definitely prefer Gyuro even though it's beef ramen. Highly recommend this place but just beware that it is not traditional ramen.

I went here for lunch in April. The place has such a fun theme to it! They decorate it so it resembles restaurants and streets of Japan. It was a clean and tidy area. I ordered the Mushroom Mignon Heaven rice bowl as my entree. It was good, but the meat/steak (the main show of the dish) was not very seasoned or flavorful at all. However, it was cooked just how I like my steaks - rare. I swapped out the creamy mushroom soup for dashi soup, which was yummy and warm for the tummy. Unfortunately, I barely tasted truffle in the wagyu truffle wontons. I tasted more truffle on the truffle fries (waffle cut). I'm a sucker for dumplings so I also ordered vegetable gyozas. Nothing too impressive there, but I'm thankful they had a vegetarian option. My friend, who is pescatarian, had to finish the gyozas for me. She was also able to order a ramen that fit her dietary needs, so that was nice. In addition to her ramen, she ordered the steam bun with soft shell crab. Based on the looks of it, there was too much batter on it. Overall, I appreciated the quality of the food, but the taste wasn't impressive. There definitely was a lack of flavor in some of the dishes. However, the aesthetic of the restaurant was simple but cool.

This cozy Japanese spot feels just like an Izakaya in Omoide Yokocho (Shinjuku) area in Tokyo. The service was friendly and prompt and the ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxed meal. We tried the Gyoza with spicy ponzu sauce--great balance of flavors. Next, we had the Spicy Garlic Miso Ramen with tofu was rich, flavorful, and satisfying. Loved the taste and overall experience!

Don't come here expecting ramen-tasting ramen :( We were really looking forward to this place cause the photos look good, but what we got were so so far off from what ramen you'd usually get (very unauthentic). If that was the vibe they were going for, I wish that was reflected better on the menu. + Food: Both ramens were extremely confusing to eat because they tasted nothing like tonkatsu and shoyu broth. The Shoyu for some reason tasted a bit like pho, so it felt wrong. The beef chashu were strange too, ham-like. 2/10. Boiled gyoza were not bad, 8/10 + Ambience: The service was great and everyone was super nice, so I don't want this review to reflect on them negatively. It's a cute restaurant with a good amount of seatings. Will not come back unfortunately.

Such good ramen! The place itself is so cute and vibey - definitely a spot to check out with friends. They'd do great if they sold alcoholic bevs, but nonetheless still have options for nonalcoholic bevs. They don't have a lot of options of ramen to choose from, but the options they do have are pretty classic. I would come back!

Gyumro is the cutest! The interior immediately caught my attention with the projectors on the walls and the interesting lighting. Great spot to take friends or guests. I got the Gyukatso Ramen with Prime meat and it hit the spot. Level two heat wasn't really hot, but did at some great flavor. Our table split the hiyatakko (chilled tofu in chili oil) and it was also very tasty! The service was good and we got everything we needed in a timely manner.

We love stopping in here for a hearty and comforting lunch on the weekends. The vegetarian ramen (spicy garlic miso) is hands-down the best in the city; super rich and flavorful broth unlike most places that just give you vegetable broth. My fiancé always gets the duck ramen which he says is also very good and unique. The egg is also always cooked to perfection. Definitely a must-try for ramen lovers. Quick and friendly service and a clean, no-fuss environment!

The broth is very rich which I loved! A great casual ramen spot in Fulton Market area. Parking is limited and paid street parking. They had some winter specials including a kimchi ramen and curry ramen! They also had some virgin cocktails on their menu, which I'd like to try next time!

Went there for a solo lunch on a weekday and it was nice! The waitstaff were very attentive and polite. It was nice to have my own water pitcher despite being a solo diner. The ambiance and decor were quite fun. I got the gyukotsu ramen and takoyaki. The food was good and came out quickly. The ramen benefitted from some of the hot seasoning that was on the table. I would say that the takoyaki was a little more dough-y than I would like. A good go-to place!

This place was very meh to me. The interior and decor is fun. I thought the ramen we had was just ok and mediocre. Nothing special IMO. I'm always on the hunt for amazing ramen and this wasn't it for me. Don't get me wrong, it was ok. But there are so many ramen shops in Chicago these days and I've had better.

One of the AJI's chefs recommended me to try this ramen shop. We stopped by for lunch before heading back to St Louis. I love the decor and menu design, giving a fun Japan vibe. It's in a great location not too far from UIC campus. Plenty of street parking. This is the first time I tried beef broth ramen. I love the authentic ramen noodle and creamy thick umami broth. The egg was perfectly cooked. Plenty of bamboo shoots. The wagyu was super tender. Definitely give it a try if you havnt had beef broth ramen! The menu also offer other menu options which is a huge plus.

What a cool vibe that reminds me of the nighttime streets of Tokyo! Cool designs and fast, friendly service. They are known for their Gyukotsu Ramen, made with beef bone, unlike regular ramen. I got the signature Gyukotsu Ramen - Wagyu Misuji and it was worth a try! Love that they include the soft-boiled egg. I want to come back to try the Spicy Garlic Miso Ramen next.

I love ramen! This place does not accept reservations, so it is first come first served but we easily got a table for two after work on a weekday. The servers also had our food out very fast so hopefully if there is a wait, it wouldn't be too long. They also do not serve alcohol, but they have some very fun and yummy mocktails that are worth checking out. I ordered the spicy garlic miso ramen with tofu and opted for the vegetarian version because I did not want fish. I loved the spicy creamy broth, and the fried tofu was so light and airy. We split the tiramisu for dessert. It was great! I would come back for sure.

Solid ramen spot in Fulton Market. Food came out quickly and was delicious. As there are so many ramen spots in the city, I'm not sure I would specifically seek this one out again. However, if close by and craving ramen, definitely check it out.

We came on a Sunday, so parking was easy to find and it wasn't busy. The service was fast and friendly, but let's get down to it: the ramen: excellent! The beef broth is very flavorful, and not salty! 10/10!

Super cute ramen shop in West Town! It is styled like Japanese street food/market. Happy to see beef ramen expand to Chicago and add to the diverse food scene! My partner's father cannot eat pork, so this spot was much appreciated where the broth is still very creamy and rich and accessible to him! I loved the affordable premium beef options as well such as filet mignon. This is super affordable compared to other ramen shops for premium options. We also tried the wagyu buns and seaweed salad that were solid appetizers!

Came here with a friend and although we were accidentally given their lemon ginger sparking drink for another table, we were given it for free and it was really good! Their ramen is really good and is refreshing as it is a beef based broth. My friend also enjoyed her bowl and we both loved the beef that accompanied the dish. The interior is truly unique with neon signs, lots of color, and an ambiance that helps transport the eater to a Tokyo izakaya! Definitely come here on a cold day to warm up!

I am so impressed with this amazing west loop ramen shop. I think I found my favorite bowl of ramen in the city! The premium gyukotsu was out of this world. The brother was sooo flavorful, I can't stop thinking about it. The bowl had all the right ingredients in it. The appetizers were so flavorful as well. The restaurant is decorated really well making for great vibes as you eat your delicious food. This place is worth the visit!!

High quality foods. This is such a unique place/hole in the wall. The ramen is excellent. Some of the best I've ever had. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. There is no alcohol served here. The inside is different vibe. Feels like they are trying to be this busy Japan downtown animated vibe. It's not cozy inside at all but the food is worth the go.

This place is SO good. I came here on Lollapalooza 2023 weekend because my brother lives in Chicago and suggested it, and he has been a large handful of times with friends. We walked in for lunch as a group of 5, and waited very shortly (like less than 10 minutes) for a table they had to clear. Inside is fairly small, and it looks like it gets busy so plan accordingly! The decor inside is super cute, full of neon lights and bright cute characters like you'd find in Japan. I ordered the SIGNATURE GYUKOTSU - creamy beef bone broth ramen. I was so excited to try this, since it's such a unique concept from traditional ramen, and I was not let down. Since most places are traditionally pork, miso, or soy-sauced based broth, I was so pleasantly surprised with how delicious this beef broth was. They really executed this well and I understand why from first bite it's one of their signature dishes. The beef was tender, and soup was savory and flavorful. My boyfriend got the Prime Shoyu ramen - comes with delicious medium rare filet mignon on top. It was so pretty and aesthetic - the bowl looked perfect. The flavor was even more delicious than it looked. I couldn't decide which ramen I liked more, but needless to say I ended up switching with my boyfriend and devouring much of his ramen. lol Overall, a really solid place for ramen. 5/ stars And yes sure, it strays a bit from "traditional" ramen, but coming back from visiting Japan recently, I can confidently say this place is WELL WORTH your visit to try something new and delicious.

Definitely one of my favorite Ramen spots in the city! Great ramen spot. Plenty of vegetarian options for my fellow veggie heads. The spicy garlic miso made vegetarian is delicious and flavorful. The broth is rich and somehow light. The noodles and veggies are always cooked to perfection. Love the decor of the restaurant. Love that they play a live clip of the streets in Tokyo. Worth checking out!

My love for good ramen runs deep, and this place did not disappoint. We started with the waffle friends which I highly recommend. We both ordered different ramen dishes and both were good! I really love my ramen spicy so I was a little disappointed when no matter how much chili oil I used it was still meh. I would say overall good place, good options, probably would try other places in the future instead!

The food is fresh and flavorful. The service is attentive and the restaurant itself is nicely decorated! We'll definitely continue to come.

Gyuro is a nice and spacious restaurant with colorful decorations. On the walls you will find various jpop stars and neon lights which kind of takes you to Akihabara. Came in for a quick dinner and had the filet mignon ramen. Their specialty is their beef broth which was ultra creamy and tasted like a gomtang maximized to its full potential. Soup was not too salty and full of collagen and I surprisingly did not feel too full even after devouring the whole bowl. The filet mignon was sliced super tender and retained a lot of its moisture. Ajitama and bamboo shoots were on point and you can even customize with additional toppings. Big fan of the noodles as well as they had a nice bounce and cooked to the perfect temperature. We also shared the fried oysters which had a nice brine to them and complemented well by a nice creamy aioli. They are super hot when served so be careful when biting in! I also had a peach tea which complemented the creaminess of these dishes perfectly! Service was prompt and works well if you are going out to explore in the evening. Definitely a top tier spot with plenty of other options such as donburi, duck and veggie broth alternatives!

Good ramen, enjoyed the broth and all the toppings and wasn't super busy for a Friday night around 8:30 pm which was nice! Enjoyed the experience!

Finally got to try this spot! Inside is super cute, looks like you are walking around Tokyo! Super fun! We had a pick up order and it took about 30 minutes, sadly we got home and realized they forgot our appetizer so we had to go back and get it. To start we had the pork gyoza and chicken karaage. Both of these were great, and the chicken was a big portion! I then got the prime signature gyukotsu. I was really excited for this because of the filet mignon on top, but it was very average ramen. It was lacking a lot of flavor and the noodles were all stuck together at the bottom of the bowl. Sadly it was not the best ramen.

Hidden gem in the West Loop! I came here with a friend on a Friday night and there was ample seating. I was skeptical at first, but we still decided to go for it either way. The restaurant itself is small but cozy. It's highly decorated and gives off a great vibe overall. Seating can be limited as most tables are two seaters, however, the wait staff would be more than happy to move around tables to accommodate your party. Just make sure you call ahead of time. The menu is simple yet unique. I've been to tons of ramen places around the city, but Gyuro wins the meats and broths selection by a far! They even have a seasonal menu, but some of the items (mostly appetizers) were sold out the day we dined in. The waitress recommended we get here earlier next time as they tend to sell out fast from the seasonal menu items during the day. I was still able to get the seasonal Curry Ramen (Tofu) and it was mouthwatering delicious. The noodles were cooked to perfection and the tofu was crispy and well seasoned. I just wish the broth was spicy. It was very mild, but I was able to add in a couple of teaspoons of the complementary chili oil. My friend got the Spicy Garlic Miso Ramen - Wagyu and it was the perfect ramen dish by definition. The broth was creamy, spicy and so comforting. The wagyu pieces were cut really well (not fatty at all). The staff was kind and welcoming. Service was great overall. I highly recommend you try this place if you are in the West Loop area and craving ramen! ~Till next time!

I love this place. I've only had one okay time when the chashu wasn't slow cooked long enough and then they put it in the wrong order. The broth here is so good. Staff are nice here. They bring a basket to put your jacket and bag in. It can get cold if you sit close to the door. It's a chill place to hang out with friends.

I went here for a quick work lunch and there was ample open seating on a Thursday. I got the steam bun with crispy soft shell crab and the signature gyukotsu option B - wagyu misuji. Food overall was good and satisfy my ramen cravings, but the dining experience could be improved. The soft shell crab has a perfect balance of crispy and soft, and the spicy mayo and sauce inside amplifies the flavor. This appetizer plays on texture fairly well. The ramen is on the saltier side but fairly rich, with some peppery notes. The egg is perfectly cooked and slightly sweet, and the bamboo shoots did not carry too strong of a flavor. The wagyu itself is fairly tender and lightly seasoned so you can taste the actual beef flavor. The noodles were okay - it could have been more al dente. Service is decent as they promptly bring out the menu and water, but I had to flag down a few times for missing items that should have been present. When the server gave the utensils, it was missing chopsticks. Getting the check took a while even when I flagged the server down. Overall, food is about 4.5 stars but I had to knock it down based on the dining experience, but the meal was still fairly quick despite those delays - I was in and out in about 40 minutes.

Nice atmosphere, well lit, great service. Some of the best ramen I've ever had. Wide selection of deserts.

Great spot for a quick meal. We came here for lunch and grabbed their Signature ramen. Im used to pork broth but the beef broth here was delicious. And the noodles were so delicious with a good chew and bounce. My husband also got the A5 Wagyu Curry Don which was just soooo good. Great flavors and the wagyu was so tender. Service was OK. They were pretty attentive especially for a spot that's not too formal. I love the decor of the restaurant too. It reminded me of alleys in Japan with bars and restaurants.
