Furious Spoon Ramen Shop

Furious Spoon originated from Chef Shin’s dreams. In them, he peers back in time to 1960 Muroran, Japan, in Hokkaido, a port town where his grandfather owned a modest ramen shop. In these dreams, he worked in the store with his grandfather where they had daily conversations about noodles. He could smell the aromas and taste the flavors in striking detail. Today, Chef Shin, with the help of restaurateur Anshul Mangal, has realized these dreams and recreated his grandfather’s ramen shop in Chicago.

Ramen was introduced in Japan in the early 1900s. In 1958, instant ramen was invented. Instant ramen became very popular globally because it is very cheap and easy to prepare. Fresh, authentic ramen, on the other hand, has enjoyed popularity in Japan and large US cities such as New York and Los Angeles. These shops have become a staple of the American diet in the last decade. In the last two to three years, ramen shops have become very popular in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs.

I was pleasantly surprised to find seats on a very busy Friday night, that the food arrived very quickly and was quite delicious. I'd obviously noticed how much people rave about it and was somewhat expecting that it might not live up to the hype. I was also happy that the guy taking orders was still pleasant, patient and efficient given how many people there were. It seemed non-stop while we ate. I plan to go back for lunch when it might be calmer.

First time I've had fresh ramen noodles and it was great. The chicken and pork belly were very tender and flavorful. The broth was very good although a bit salty. The noodles... loved em! Would highly recommend for a good value change of pace lunch or dinner.

Furious spoon brings together many things that I like (noodles, soup, spice and everything nice). We visit this location because it is right down the street from work and we pass by it every day. We tried the Chicken Shoyu and the beef brisket rice bowl. Needles to say it was delicious and filling. I liked the hip hop/rap music that was playing. The sitting was nice and different.I will definitely visit again and try something different.Only suggestion I have is to put some hot sauce or sweet and sour sauce at tables for the rice bowls or even if you want a little bit more spice on your ramen .

I like this place. The home made noodles are amazing. The service is fast and good. The atmosphere is casual. The broth seems a bit overly salty.. but I keep going back.

Great service, awesome ramen. We ordered a few sides and they were unimpressive. The main act doesn't disappoint! Broth wasn't as thick and heavy as other ramen places I've had in the city and I appreciated that. The noodles were perfectly cook. Plan to come back here.

Portion was great . Food was excellent. Bartender made me lemonade even though it wasn't on menu. The food was served amazingly fast

Actually went to Poke Poke..great experience. The happy hour special of buy one get one half off was the draw. That started at 5p. Everything was extremely fresh and plentiful. A nice place to dine, simple and light.

Great place. Leo is a great person and a great bartender. Didn't try the ramen because we were there for drinks but the apps we got were great and the drink selection was also good. Will be back for the ramen. Leo if you read this, take the Strengthsfinder and let us know what your top 5 are.

Good food, very taste in large quantity. The ambiance music (essentially rap) was great too. Doggy bag accepted.

Delicious food. Could've been a little more spicy but still good anyway. Leo is also a great bartender. Would recommend this to anyone.

First time at a real ramen restaurant, shame on me! Menu was very straight forward, not a lot of confusion on ordering..... LOTS of add-ons to make it your own. Very flavorful, I had the chicken dumplings....yum! We also had them fried as an appetizer, also yum. Will definitely try again.

My friend brought us here and my girlfriend and I loved the food. You order at the door and they bring the food to you. Plenty of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages to choose from and lots of great choices for ramen. I highly recommend this place!

This was my first time having Ramen and this place did not disappoint. I ordered their special bowl (can't remember the exact name but it had volcano in the title) and it was really good. The portion size was huge, and I was able to take leftovers home for another meal. I only rated 4 stars instead of 5 because it took a while to get the food and they didn't have as many options as I would have liked, but they were busy, so it was understandable. The food was worth the wait.

The atmosphere is super cool, music and decor remind me of a really trendy bar/nightclub. Best margarita I've ever had! Lost a star because of prices, I felt it was a bit overpriced for the food and drinks, but you're paying for the highly instagrammable decor lol

Great food. Was hoping to try the holy cow, but they were out of it. Alot pricier than I expected as well.

It wasn't overly crowded but they said they were backed up and we should wait 15 minutes (you walk in and place your order then go sit with a number at a table) until we could order. So we wait and then they start serving other people that walked in after us. 😥. Food was great. Good value and the noodles are amazing. Service brings it down from 5 stars.

Very nice decor excellent food but completely lost a star due to service. The cashier was completely somewhere else but everyone and everything else was great. Bring your appetite big serving sizes. Will most definitely visit again

Service and management earned this place 5 stars Ramen was good! However not as spicy as I hoped! They messed up an order but quickly fixed it and didn't charge for the extra food. The broth however was on point! The atmosphere is very unique and is a great sit down place but prepare to wait 10-15 mins for your food!

Cool place. I had never been to Ramen restaurant before but I love Asian noodles so gave it a try. I had their signature “furious bowl” and it was very good! Wait staff was friendly and helpful.

Everyone was very friendly our bartender/waitress was very helpful in explaining to us what every word on the menu we didn't understand was. She made great recommendations and we all left full and satisfied. The other employees were also friendly, joined in on our conversations and made our first expieriance a great one !

I love all the furious spoon locations and this one does not fail to feel unique in its own way

First time at any of the locations, I chose this one. I walked in and was seated immediately. Asking if it was my first time, I answered yes, and they immediately went through the menu with me and told me their top items. I enjoyed what I ate and the service was good.

Food is fantastic and has great atmosphere. The location it’s self is amazing! I use to come here when it was club spin, now seeing what they have done with the place, I am amazed! The staff is always friendly too! Especially their manger with the huge smile idk his name, but every time I come in he is always at the door greeting me with that award winning smile on his face. I will continue to come to this location thanks to the great food and fantastic service!

This is my second time coming here and I simply love it. The food is really tasty and fresh. The atmosphere and music are pretty chilled. Our server Lucas was awesome. I will be coming here again for sure. I am so glad I have this type of a restaurant in my neighborhood.

Really great portion sizes. The broth for the Mother Clucker was delicious and almost creamy. My only real complaint is that it wasn't spicy enough.

Another must stop if your in town. The ramen here is fantastic and I've had it in more places then I can count. I just wish they kept the music the same. I mean they have a parental adversary sticker on the door. If you can't handle explicit music. You were warned before you walked in. Don't complain about the music and get it taken away lol. Come on people grow up........ the food is worth it 1000%.

Been to this location twice so far and both visits have been nothing short of AMAZING! Both visits I sat by the bar and was taken care of by Leo. Leo is by far one of the kindest and most personable people I have ever met! I would go back just to hang and talk with him! AND even being over a MONTH since my first visit, Leo remembered the names of everyone from my group AND each of our orders!!!! The food it just as amazing as the service. My personal favorites are the Panko-Crusted Crab Bomb and the Mother Klucker Ramen Bowl - Both unique dishes filled with flavor. Seriously if you're the the Lakeview area, go and try this place out, you won’t regret it! Perfect five star service and food!

Decent sized servings, legit ingredients and legit preparation for (passably) Asian fare. They were short staffed when we went, but the server was very efficient and forthcoming with their limitations, and we still had an enjoyable meal. The place also has great ambiance, and their menu is extensive enough for multiple visits. PS. Be careful; the dynamo shrimp ramen is CRAZY HOT. But great. But really insanely hot.

Pretty standard and safe ramen. It's good but it doesn't necessarily stand out among competitors. Just a good place to have decent ramen

Craig Key

Mouth watering good. Such great broth and flavors, with a great selection of toppings and sides. Also who wouldn't love their beer selection, a great set of curated craft beers. They also have a location downtown in the Revival Food Hall, both are worth check out!

Quick service at the bar, good music and a great bowl of ramen. Excellent deals as well if you keep your eye out. I've had their Ramen every day for a year :)

Delicious food! The music was awesome too. Friendly staff. Clean bathrooms. Enjoyed my meal here. We ordered the Muther Clucker and the Shrimp dish. Both dishes exceeded our expectations. Will definitely eat here again!

Very tasty ramen with a lot of interesting options that are both authentic and inventive. That said, the service does leave something to be desired though I think the staff try hard to please. I wonder if the walk-up format creates a bit of kitchen chaos that makes it difficult for them to execute on their vision. If management can give more focus to guest experience while still keeping the food quality high, this would be the best spot in town.
