Had an amazing dining experience at Zen Ramen & Grill! I ordered the Black Garlic Pork Pork Tonkotsu and Takoyaki, and both were fantastic. The broth in the ramen was rich and flavorful, with perfectly cooked noodles and tender pork. The Takoyaki had a crispy outside and a deliciously soft inside, just the way it should be. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the service was quick. Definitely my new go-to spot for ramen in Hanover Park. Highly recommend!

If you want flavor and value get any of the stir fry ramen/rice. You won’t go wrong with them. It was a little chilly and the waiter accommodated us with a small heater so they have good service and they’re very nice.

We are relatively new to Streamwood and love checking out new spots, especially small local businesses in the area. Zen Ramen & Grill has definitely become an ultimate favorite and staple for us. Their ramen is delicious, my favorites are the spicy based miso (I usually swap the pork belly for shrimp) and today I tried the spicy shoyu based ramen with shrimp tempura and it was delicious as well. My husband had the hibachi style entree and he loves those. He also tried the Passion tea with mango add on and it was really great as well. Highly recommend for a date night, quick dine in after work, every and any time type of spot!

This place is amazing! The staff is amazing and attentive as well! I ordered a veggie ramen and my brother ordered spicy pork. We both enjoyed our plates and I am excited to come back to enjoy another bowl with my significant other and friends!

LOVED their tonkotsu with black garlic oil. They were generous with their toppings and it was priced affordably. Their spicy ramen was pretty spicy to the point I couldnt enjoy the ramen so just be aware before ordering. Their pork buns were great (so tender!) and we chomped them down real fast. Egg fried rice was pretty average. Ive already returned to this place at least 3 times and quality is always consistent with the ramen. Oh their yakisoba was surprisingly good! Not legit but still delicious! Great portion size too.

Was at the fine establishment tonight for dinner. I can not believe this place has been here for 2 years and this was my first visit. We will definitely be going back. The service was great, very surprised at how big it is, it also has a nice size bar to sit at. We ordered the crab Rangoon, which was different, it was sweet, not a whole Lotta crab, but good. Ordered the crispy wings, let me tell you the flavor in these are absolutely fantastic. The spices they used on them is so good. Also ordered the Pork Miso, that also was fantastic. Also ordered a side of steak which was good as well. All in all this is a great little hidden gem, if you get a chance go visit.

Okay so basically I came here with my dad and he works here and I love sushi and ramen. The workers here are very friendly and have good service. The mood here was very chill and calm. It was a nice setting and it's not over crowded either. It's a good place to go and the food is amazing. Service was great and the food and vibes were amazing. I would visit this place again!

Been here lots of times and every time has been incredible! We always dine in and the service is quick and polite. Food is DELICIOUS! Love the katsu chicken and you have to get BOTH the pork buns and crab rangoons to start. Excited to go back tomorrow for more!

My first time visiting this place, and I’m really happy with the whole experience.The food was tasty, and the prices were reasonable. Service was great and they recommended some delicious new dishes for us to try. Paired with the drinks, we left feeling full and satisfied. There are also a lot of claw machines there, which makes it a fun place for kids. It’s a great spot for a family meal and some playtime after. Highly recommend it to anyone and we will visit again soon!!!

Got this steak and cheese sandwich. It was amazingly great! I can't find it on any menus online for the official name, but check out the pic! 100% delicious, thin sliced beef that was juicy and tender, cheese was high quality and the yum yum sauce was great all together. I have been here before for other things and it was all good. It is on my list of lunch joints and will return.
