Kizuki Ramen and Izakaya - Chicago

We visited the restaurant on a Sunday afternoon and found that it was not very busy. It took a while for our food to be served, and unfortunately, both the appetizers and main course were brought out at the same time. The Chicken Karaage was lacking in flavor and the accompanying sauce was not sufficient. The chicken wings were also soggy. However, the spicy miso ramen was enjoyable, although not the best I have had. Our server seemed a bit slow, but it may have been due to being the only one working.

I recently dined at this restaurant and found it to be average. The service was subpar as we had to wait 10 minutes for water and then another 5 minutes to place our order. We ordered pork buns and two ramen bowls. The noodles tasted like they were frozen and the sizes of the pork pieces varied greatly, with some being very small. The pork buns lacked flavor but the sauce helped improve the taste slightly. Overall, I would not dine here again and would recommend visiting a downtown or Edgewater's newer ramen restaurant instead. Additionally, the spoons were dirty and the cups had a slimy feeling to them.

A solid ramen spot in Wicker Park with reasonable prices, especially for the area. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen, which is a pretty classic soy sauce-based option with pork, egg, and bamboo shoots. The noodles were fresh and chewy, the broth wasn’t too salty or dehydrating, and the price was just $13, which I appreciated given that most spots nearby sell comparable bowls for $16+. I wish it came with more pork though— there was only one super thin slice, and texture was kind of rubbery.We also ordered Chicken Karaage for the appetizer, which was pretty good— crispy exterior and tender interior, and the sauce added a nice kick. All in all, it’s a solid ramen chain spot with a large variety of bowls that I’d be interested in coming back to try out— both soup and dry/dipped, hot and cold, with prices ranging from $13 to $16.50. The service is a little slow here, but it’s overall just pretty busy.—Price (relative to peers): 4.5/5Food: 4.2/5Ambience: 4.5/5Service: 4/5Overall Value: 4.1/5

I had the Shoyu Ramen and the Pork Gyoza. I travel a lot and one of my favorite things to eat is Ramen. This is by far the best Ramen I've had so far. Mark was my server and he was wonderful as well. Polite, attentive, and helpful. Definitely recommend.Food: 5/5

The service at Lloyd's restaurant is outstanding. Lloyd is a fantastic host and waiter, always friendly and kind. He was consistently attentive and available when we needed him. We plan to return at least once a month from now on, as this has become one of our favorite places with delicious food and exceptional service. Thank you, Lloyd, for providing such a wonderful experience; we will be back sooner rather than later.
