Ramen Takeya Arlington Heights

Finally! Ramen Takeya open in surburb! When I saw this on yelp, i didn't hesitate to make reservation. The ramen said chicken paitan (it's mean the broth is from chicken) the famous one. The grilled pork belly was Soo smooth like butter. The portion just right with the price. I suggest to take reservations first during busy hour. Recommend appetizer: takoyaki, chicken karage. For ramen: miso spicy (if you like spicy) chicken paitan and Osaka shio. There is no kids menu but there is rice bowl with fried chicken aka karage. Or order extra ramen.

Very good quality with wide range of Japanese alcoholic beverages :), however prices were a bit more than I expected for one skewer of food. Is a great place for drinks and an appetizer but don’t expect to leave full without dropping a good amount of money.

One of the finest izakaya in the area! I have stayed in Kyoto for three months and am very fond with Japanese food. This is truly authentic. Every time I feel saved by the food. The yakitori and karaage brought me back to the time I’m at Japan. I am really appreciate the existence of this restaurant!

Good food but they have to serve quicker! We stayed there for 2 hours and we were the first customers for dinner! A lot of items not in stock and one order was not sent in.
