Torizen - Schaumburg

Decided to go here for dinner around 6:30pm on a Monday and had a 45 minute wait. The appetizers were pretty good and fairly priced. As for the entrees, the katsu dinner was crunchy and juicy. The ramen noodles were cooked perfectly but toppings were just okay. The udon noodle soup is a little bland and would be better with togarashi. Luckily the pickled vegetables we ordered for appetizers helped add flavor to the udon. Overall, it's a decent dinner, but I wouldn't wait that long for the restaurant again. If it's not crowded, I might come back.

Outstanding food. I couldn’t believe how delicious the miso eggplant was!!! Great sushi and ramen! My only complaint is the waitstaff didn’t provide much guidance and the menu is non descriptive (no pics or helpful descriptions) Our waitstaff was otherwise lively and food outstandingVegetarian options: Eggplant was best I ever had

Despite feeling a little rushed before their lunch closing time, the dishes were really good. I would definitely visit again. We had spicy miso ramen, udon, tonkatsu and tendon.

This place was just special. But to truly appreciate it go alone. This ranks for me personally as the top dining experience I’ve ever had. Everything was executed with perfection and the level of detail and care shows. It’s as if it’s the true Japanese way.

Amazing Japanese food experiences every time that i go here. The sushi, handrolls, appetizers, and so much more are top notch. I recommend the spicy ramen for ramen enthusiasts. The place is clean, the staff are friendly, the atmosphere is nice and private. It will be hard to find better authentic Japanese food and atmosphere experience elsewhere. This is a top 5 Japanese restaurant overall in chicagoland.
