Ramen House Shinchan

First time here and had the pork katsu curry. It was delicious!! 10/10 would recommend this place.

Not sure if they were just having an "off" day, but the food did not really have much taste. This is our 2nd time here but I thought their ramen had more taste that's why we came back. Well, I'm willing to try again someday. If it's still the same no taste, then time to find a different place.

I was at the opening of their first restaurant in Palatine and they were great. As good as many in Japan. Over time they reduced the quality (cost) of the food and leveled off. They're still okay and a little better than Tokyo Bowl. I miss the Kara age they use to make. More crunch the pieces had more surface area and ginger taste. The Best Condition had more whole garlic and veggies too. The chicken broth was kind of on the salty side. Got a side order of egg and they were nice. The price is still pretty close to when they opened so that's a plus. Also most of the people in there with us for lunch appeared to be Japanese so it does say something about its authenticity.

Soft opening on 12/05/2019. Attentive and friendly staff. Everything we ordered came out quickly and was hot and delicious. Not very many seats, so be prepared if it's busy. Got a bit Smoky in the restaurant from the fryers, so hopefully they'll get their ventilation adjusted properly. I will definitely be back
