About Us

At Tanaka Ramen & Izakaya, we bring the heart of Japanese comfort food to the city of Chicago. Our signature ramen is crafted with rich, slow-simmered broth, fresh noodles, and quality ingredients. From classic tonkotsu to spicy miso, we serve bowls that warm both the body and soul.

​

Beyond ramen, we offer crispy appetizers, Japanese curry rice, milk tea cocktails, and izakaya-style small plates—perfect for sharing. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, enjoying dinner with friends, or celebrating a birthday, Tanaka is your cozy go-to spot.

​

​

We welcome group reservations and birthday parties! Large tables available for groups of 4 or more with reservation.
